We did. I think that things are a bit different now with the numbers they are seeing in younger people, who are largely unvaccinated. Younger people getting infected and more severe reactions. These variants are serious. 

I know there are jokes about Covid not spreading in schools, but we did get out of the last wave without shutting them down.

The thing that has to go hand in hand with personal responsibility is enforcement  of the rules when people are to stupid to follow.  Both the government and some buisnesses have failed at doing their part which was to enforce .

I jst shake my head when the anti maskers & anti vaxxers say they are doing it for our freedoms. No, they're not. They don't speak for me. Selfish pricks.
Since you & I can't buy a Covid vaccine then just how is it up to us to keep ourselves safe? Your analogy is all well & good but it's impossible to achieve.

Who would you consider proper leadership? I'm just wondering as I can't think of any on the municipal, provincial or federal level that I would like to hand the reigns too. I am beginning to think that The Visitors might be our only hope at this point.

If we should have taken any lessons in the past year it is that delaying actions makes it worse.... yet everywhere governments failed to act and chose instead to hope.

Oh, I totally agree. I'm just saying they don't need him at the press conference.

As I have been unable to book an appointment for thr AZ, so happy that they dropped it down to 40 today. Just booked at the Notre Dame Pop up for Monday. Got off the phone and did a

Hopefully you guys can learn from AB and lock it down hard and fast. Even just for a month, to give the vaccines a chance to work. 
Regarding Iso's dog-whistle Sun "Media" article..... there's a reason they're telling people to continue wearing masks and keeping distance at all times......we're not out of the woods yet. But getting a single dose into as many people as possible, is still the best course of action. 

I did a parts / grocery run to Winkler/ Stanley , Manitoba's capital of anti vaccination, Covid denial and anti- masking. It was interesting and I learned a few things. There are 2 types of buisnesses there. Those with masked employees who obviously turf unmasked people. They are busy, and everyone who I saw enter is masked and don't seem to care. The other type of business has unmasked employees,  and don't say a word to unmasked customers. They are busy as well and probably %75 of the customers are unmasked. So it is ALL about enforcement. But apparently it has been left to individual buisnesses to do so. It is obvious to me that its all about leadership. The boss says mask up , everyone masks up. Customers accept it. You dont lose buisness. And like it or not Pallister is our boss and the boss of all those small buisnesses I went into. He has dropped the ball on this. He has failed .All that was needed was direct orders to mask up AND the enforcement to make them do so. The numbers we saw today are not an anomaly.  They will continue to rise.

The RCMP and Health and Safety should have the mandate to go in and shut down any business that isn't complying with masking/general COVID safety guidelines...

No, this is now the third wave- we knew it was coming and once again did not act fast enough. You make a mistake, you learn from it... then you make the same mistake... and then you are given 2-4 weeks of notice from your neighbours as to what is coming... you don't take what you should have learned the first two ******* times and here we are...
May is going to be a **** month.

Well, the man speaks the truth...
 
 

The GOP is waaay past grasping at the nuances of irony.  They are into monomaniacal intent to create a system of politics that exclusively benefits them and can be manipulated at their will.

Please, please please let it be Tucker....

That said, we all should be like
 

A little over 40% of Manitobans have had their first dose of the vaccine, still taking to long but we are getting there,
