Very very impressive by Evans,that's wild

That would of been a terrible reversal, Toronto jealous and had to have snow too

Came for some pre game hype reading, found stoners filling up the hospitals.... Oi. Go Blue.... 

Last time I heard they had one of the worst death rates. 
 

3 Things stuck out for for me;
1. certainly not a lot of Canadians making that trip still. Border crossing were relatively quick and easy, especially considering people haven't ben able to do it for like 18+ months. Not many cars with MB license plates in any of the parking lots
2. Made me appreciate the collective effort we've done. Yeah, south MB is a shitshow, it hasn't been remotely perfect anywhere, but it's light years beyond what they're doing collectively and as a whole. Also gave me a perspective of how they got to where they are at as opposed to us
3. definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone that values taking precautions. I honestly feel like an idiot for even going for a few hours and doing everything I normally do to protect myself and others.

I remember on the news just before the border reopened they talked to someone from the Grand Forks Chamber of Commerce. They were itching to welcome back Canadians (and their wallets) but mentioned that they didn't have any public health measures in place so they recommended masking up while there because of their infection rate. Their state tourism slogan should be "Welcome to North Dakota: We'll trade you your money for COVID".

So ........I wonder if he thinks people from Winkler should stay out of the ICUs in the province. Because I don't think Boundry Trails has one. I know dozens of people ( including myself ) who no longer do business in Winkler. We use other towns and cities including Winnipeg. 
One of the things I have noticed in Winnipeg is things have pretty much returned to normal. You wear your mask,  distance when you can and flash your vax passport when asked.  No big deal. It's as close to normal as could be expected.

Imagine wanting to be like Florida.  Henry Wiebe is not a smart person. 

Sadly, he is far from alone physically and in attitude.

Definitely political. Look how quick they are to act when it's in the city. 

Vaccines work.... 

I'm  not sure we can do total shutdowns anymore. I suspect we are looking at years of this. I dont think our society can handle it economically or socially.  But, broadening of vaccine passport requirements ? Yes !  More enforcement ? Yes, especially in areas that we know aren't compliant.  And bring a big hammer when you do it. No tickets since October in Southern is ridiculous.

I'd like to see real enforcement in Southern Health. I know there are cases everywhere but when an area with 15% of the provincial population is giving you anywhere from 33-40+% of the cases, over 40% of hospitalizations and 50-60% of ICU cases, you need to start there.

I’d say avoid a lockdown, but make vax cards mandatory for entry into any place, be it a grocery store, theatre, restaurant, inside of a gas station. Of you don’t want the responsibility of vaccinating to protect others, you lose the privilege (it’s not a right) to attend certain places. New Zealand enforced this and when asked if she was creating different rules for those who did not comply with the vaccination demands versus those who did, the PM matter-of-factor said “yes, that’s exactly what I am doing” with zero apologizing. As it should be. 

I am part of an organization with multiple branches in Manitoba ,one of which is mine. The head of this organization has been involved for over 40 years in it. I studied under  that person for many many years.I had a great deal of respect and admiration for  them.But they have fallen down the rabbit hole of anti mask/Vax. That means the 30 + people in that branch are out of luck. So after 40 years they are willing to ignore a life's work and at least temporarily close the branch. Frankly I don't understand it. Meanwhile my branch continues on. I am considering my options as far as my association with the organization.  I'm sorry this is all so vague but I'm not willing to give details out. Just voicing  my frustration and disappointment. 

It seems to come to a point where the image of being a professional organization can no longer be projected - regardless of how competent an individual may be otherwise.
And this type of 'shut down reaction' will often reinforce the unfounded beliefs of that individual - 'they are coming for me now, just as predicted.'
One day they'll see that there's no rabbits in the hole and no light at the end of the end of the tunnel - by then the damage will be done.
