Let's not forget, the NDP were fairly large part of Harper's majority, in 2011. They voted to overthrow the Liberal minority, and then were able to gain enough votes to form the official opposition Some of the PC wins were due to NDP/Liberal vote splitting

The NWC has a 5 year limit. I assume people want to play with their guns...a little longer...

I mean...he can stop at the Moosomin KFC on the way out there...

Wrong thread - but a well run Chicken Chef is a great place to eat

Dost thou speak ill of the flagship?

That's a relative opinion, given that ignorance of the law is not a defense

^^ That is tremendous news

Same people who will keep going out after the melt has started in spring. Rescue should have the ability to fine them.

There are always 'tipping point' plays that matter more than others.

And that's how this team rolls.

It's not the people who don't know, most of us don't know that much specific information about vaccines It's that segment of the population that spread lies and misinformation - which people buy into because it's what they want to hear These are the people whom Trudeau referred to as racists, misogynists, etc. But of course, those who disagree, will now claim he lied under oath

And the dollar signs keep flying off the ads.

No bones. Also medical. I'll show myself out. Chris is a good guy. Lives just up the road on Netley Creek. Big guy, with a bigger heart.

I was taking a jab at the fact that Osh had to learn how to use tech, when he became an HC. He must have been selling on the 'non tech' side of medical supplies.

. I guess he was selling tongue depressers and band aids.

I think Demski and Schoen are the best YAC tandem in the league.

Even if that's the rule - the puck was behind the net - when his helmet came off.

Well, we can always sign Darian Durant...

I would agree. When ZC has time, Demski and/or Schoen are almost impossoble to cover.

They emphasized almost none of the issues that could have worked in their favour. Just chasing loony conspiracy theories and crazy rabbit trails Freeland almost extended an olive branch once, by saying "she believed strongly that the right to protest was very, very important." But of course, they had already spent so much time on their usual rabbit trails - there was no time left to explore those thoughts

Now that the public inquiry is over, I have to say the approach of the convoy legal team was ridiculous 1. They accused witnesses of wasting time, while they wasted more time than anyone 2. Continuously trying to imply that the Nazi flag bearer was a Liberal staffer. They should have said right from the outset, that this person was asked to leave the protest, and then leave it at that All it did was give the impression that they had no real evidence. And then chasing after Greg McEachern, and destroying any credibility they had 3. Instead of bullying witnesses, get them to clarify their stance on people's right to protest. The second lawyer who cross-examined Freeland, somewhat did that 4. Statements like "you are afraid of Canadians." How stupid is that? I'm sure every single person could find a Canadian citizen, that they are afraid of 5. And speaking of statements: making and reading statements, instead of using them to question witnesses. This shows a distinct lack of preparedness

You could go to school, work, essential businesses, etc. And...no. Pallister was always more than ready to lift the restrictions. Remember the summer of 2020? They even ran an ad campaign Remember removing the mask mandate...only to reinstate it again?

C'mon man, that's just not logical. Most of the world had lockdowns. We are mostly an export economy - we could have had 0 lockdowns or mandates in Canada and livelihoods would have still been severely impacted It's hilarious that you would say the federal Conservatives did not support the convoy. Maybe check out some of the videos of Candice Bergen in question period The removal of O'Toole was already in the works before the convoy - Bergen took over less than a week after the convoy arrived

Vaccines create a higher level of immunity in a population, which does help to contain spread, especially with a high uptake Unvaccinated people who get really sick have a heavy viral load, thus they spread the virus more Contained not stopped

Correct. And it begs the question - what was the point of the convoy? The government has finally done what they asked - but unvaxxed truckers still can't cross the border Which is exactly what the government was saying all along I agree with protests, but this one was pointless, and I might add, costly to the livelihoods of other Canadians
