    Seriously, no one is going to comment on the season finale of the Mandalorian? 

     

    I will give it a few days before I let out some spoilers... but man- one of my all time favorite episodes from any TV series.

     

    And if you watch Mando- make sure to watch the last episode t o the end... 

    Post credit scene.

    Really enjoyed the 2 seasons. just hate that it's another year and then we get slammed with 2 or 3 shows They need to space them out better.

    I'm sure the fans will be happy with ten new shows instead of ten new films since it seems the sequel trilogy has mostly mixed reveiws

    Well, the animated ones were better written than the last 3 movies (VII, VIII and IX) and the Mandalorian is looking better than them as well. Star Wars has become like DC where the cheaper to do things are just better than the "blockbusters"

    Reported by who? Anti-vaxer has taken on many different things, including asking questions about vaccines.

    FFS. Anti vaxer is just some GD idiot without two brain cells to rub together. It's not about asking question, it's about being a ******* idiot, but there seems to be a lot of that these days.

    Ohio tea party leader urges Trump to suspend the Constitution, invoke martial law to push for new vote

       
    A Tea Party leader in Ohio took out a full-page ad in the Washington Times with a message to President Donald Trump urging him to take unprecedented action to force states to conduct a new vote in an effort to overturn the presidential election.

    According to Cleveland.com, the man responsible for placing the ad is Tom Zawistowski, the executive director of the Portage County Tea Party and member of the We the People Convention. The text was also published to the party's "We the People" website.

    In the ad, Zawistowski echoed a number of Trump's unfounded voter fraud claims as he suggested "when Democrat Joe Biden is formally elected the next president, as is expected, Trump should order the U.S. military to oversee a new election for federal candidates using only paper ballots," per the publication.

    "Without a fair vote, we fear, with good reason, the threat of a shooting civil war is imminent," the ad states, which also included subtle warning that if the president opts not to declare martial law, "we will also have no other choice but to take matters into our own hands, and defend our rights on our own."

    Zawistowski also wrote, "we wanted to express our concerns to the President, to the legislators, courts and Congress that We the People will NOT cede our exclusive Constitutional right to elect our Representatives to judges, lawyers, courts, Governors, Secretary's of State, Congress, corrupt election officials and local politicians, the corrupt media - or Leftist threats of violence! It is OUR EXCLUSIVE RIGHT to elect our President and that sacred right has been infringed by the massive, planned, illegal election fraud conducted by corrupt Democrat/Socialist Party operatives across our nation to steal our vote. We will NOT stand for it."

    Why the **** would the Washington Times run the ad?

    Yeah, no. I am going to get mine as soon as I can. I'll chance the possibility of becoming the "Undead" over the actual dead.

     

    I think we will be a bit behind in Canada, compared to other countries. So we will benefit from that "testing". I will get it when I can, but am not at the front of the line as far as risk goes (not a healthcare worker or in a home).

    Lewis Hamilton tests positive and will miss the race this weekend, his car says no problem I can win the race myself

    He' going to miss out on the most wins in a season because of this. I know his performance tends to make F1 a bit boring (but what a crash Sunday), but he certainly has talent.

    So that would force everyone to buy a hybrid or electric? I'm not sure how that would work up North where people need big gas guzzling trucks?

    Better batteries. Faster charging and longer range.

    If I'm going to tow my 8,000 lb trailer, I still need to be able to do 300 kms before re-charging (and that taking 5-10 mins).

    The Winnipeg Police Service has launched a “preliminary assessment” of the rash of deaths at the Maples Personal Care Home.

    An outbreak of the novel coronavirus has killed 22 people at the for-profit nursing home, including eight deaths during a recent 48-hour stretch.

    I agree with most of your prediction. I would go a little higher on the Senate though- I think there will be a surprise flip somewhere. As long as Graham and McConnel are gone...

    I want these 2 gone almost as much as I want Trump gone.

    Yeah, so all of that is from a couple weeks ago, actually. Our Health Minister, Tyler Shandro, is an absolute mess. He and Jason Kenney decided -- IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC -- that they wanted to rip up the "master agreement" between the province and health practitioners, which essentially dictates how much they're allowed to charge for their services. An agreement that hasn't been touched in a very long time, because nobody wants to tell doctors they aren't worth what they're charging. Well, apparently in the middle of a pandemic is a good time to do it. When doctors started getting angry about it (something like 80% said they've lost faith in the Health Minister, and around 50% said they've considered closing up shop and moving to another province because of it) Shandro started firing back. He actually went to one doctor's house and got into it with him in his driveway...yelling and screaming and what not. It was really something. So now, in the last couple weeks, they've decided they want to lay off 11,000 front line workers...essentially janitors, laundry workers....things like that. All to save money. Money which, by the way, is being spent in the neighbourhood of 30-million per year on a "War Room", which exists to fight for the good name of oil and gas industry and hand out 4-billion in corporate welfare to oil and gas companies who took the money, laid off their Canadian employees and moved operations to Texas. 

     

    Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack this province for electing the absolute worst provincial government in Canada......

    I, for one, would welcome the doctors to BC. :)
