Lawyer sues critics after backlash against his comments on women and race (msn.com)
QuoteIn his application, Hamza calls for the recusal of any judge assigned to hear the case who is not a “red Indian” and therefore a "colonizer.”
He also wants the court to declare the law society a "racist and failed institution” and state it has no jurisdiction over the private lives of lawyers.
"The purpose of these complaints is clearly to punish Mr. Hamza, as the complainants know the procedure is punitive and expect no repercussions from it," he states.
Hamza also wants the courts to rule he has the right to declare non-confidence in the law society, and that he should not have to pay fees to it as it is "useless" to him.
The plaintiff seeks more than $200,000 in various damages from the defendants, which besides the law society and Rocheleau, include three others.
Good luck.

lol, I don't know how 'flu' is defined but the covid mortality rate is .02% world wide, what does that make it?
The Spanish Flu was 2.5% but that is considered way under estimated
Hong Kong Flu was around 0.5%
Seasonal Flu is 0.01%
So, I guess it depends on what you are calling a Flu.
I guess you missed this part.

WASHINGTON—The start of California’s annual rainy season has been pushed back from November to December, prolonging the state’s increasingly destructive wildfire season by nearly a month, according to new research. The study cannot confirm the shift is connected to climate change, but the results are consistent with climate models that predict drier autumns for California in a warming climate, according to the authors. “What we’ve shown is that it will not happen in the future, it’s happening already,” said Jelena Luković, a climate scientist at the University of Belgrade in Serbia and lead author of the new study. “The onset of the rainy season has been progressively delayed since the 1960s, and as a result the precipitation season has become shorter and sharper in California.” The results suggest California’s wildfire season, which has been getting progressively worse due to human-caused climate change, will last even longer in the years to come and Californians can expect to see more fires flaring up in the month of November. 2020 was California’s worst wildfire season on record, with nearly 10,000 fires burning more than 4.2 million acres of land.
Sounds pretty convincing until you read
QuoteTony Heller produced a chart showing California drought over the past showing it is naturally cyclical and has been worse than now:
https://realclimatescience.com/2018/02/science-man-made-california-droughts/
“Scientists who study the West’s long-term climate patterns say that California has had multiple droughts of 10 or 20 years in a row during the past 1,000 years — and two severe “megadroughts” of 180 years and 240 years.”

QuoteCalifornia rain follows Pacific Ocean currents, faster currents more water moved northwards, and thanks to the size of the Pacific the Earth’s angular momentum changes, slightly altering length of the day LOD.

Spectral composition of the California’s ran follows closely the LOD’s spectral composition with a strong ~ 30 year periodicity and it’s second 14-15 year harmonicand
QuoteI was just thinking while reading the article that “how do they know that California wasn’t abnormally wet back in the 1960’s?” And according to Tony Heller’s graph, it appears that was the case.

Someone tried equating anti-maskers with anti-vaxxers, trying to lump them all in same basket like is prone to happen around here, nice to see not everyone is fooled.

Of course there is.

So a simple yes would have sufficed. So here's one for you, Alberta has had more covid 19 deaths this year than influenza deaths in the past 10 years.
But it's not that deadly!!
Who never said it was deadly? You asked if I was one of the people who called it 'just a flu', flu's are deadly, the Spanish Flu wiped out 60 million people, flu's are no laughing matter including this one.

Why do you you do this? You know this isn't true. You know it's going to get called out. Why do you need a football forum to validate your existence? I mean, if you want some meaningful interaction in the covid era- I can invite you to a game of codebreaker online if you want. If you play any co-op videogames over the internet, shoot me a gamer tag and I will totally invite you. You don't need to troll so hard for validation.

QuoteThere are a litany of them. There’s the fear of toxic substances in vaccines, and belief in a “big pharma” conspiracy to sell these drugs to as many people as possible.
Sounds like the group I described.

The lives of two innocent Canadian men are worth more than the crimes Meng is charged with. What did Trudeau think the Chinese wanted in exchange for the vaccine, maples syrup?

11 minutes ago, itchy said:I'm not really crazy about going down this rabbit hole of an argument, but it's clear that blue states are more urban, more densely populated. Trump also flat out admitted that he would provide assistance to red states, and not so much blue states. If that isn't "blood on his hands" I don't know what is. If you aren't looking at the whole picture, then you aren't getting the whole story.
It's a really simple question, why blame the provinces and not the states?

The only thing that matters, outright deaths.

There's the full quote, don't want any cherry picking here.
Care to explain how in Canada the Provinces are blamed for their covid response yet in the USA state governments are not? Just asking, I'd really like to hear an answer to this.

How Ottawa utterly botched Canada's COVID vaccine acquisition (msn.com)
QuoteRecent analysis by The Economist found that while virtually all of Europe will be fully vaccinated by the end of this year, the earliest Canada can hope for is mid-2022 .
QuoteBut only days after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the arrangement, China shut off all shipments of the CanSino vaccine to Canada in what is believed to have been a spiteful retaliation for the continued imprisonment of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver. In hindsight, it may have been a bad idea to bet the country’s pandemic recovery on one of Canada’s top geopolitical enemies.
Should have made the swap for the two Michaels like I said. This is going to bring down the Liberal Government and rightly so.

Its only a matter of degree. Trump and his miscreants are responsible, not only for the deaths at the Capitol, but at least 150,000of the 460,000 COVID deaths where prompt, appropriate action would have saved lives. He exhibits the same psychopathology as the others, with the possible exception of Stalin. BTW; Stalin was so thorough at wiping out doctors (who he considered reactionaries) that he died of pneumonia, which they could have easily treated.

Every province with a CON Premier had an awful COVID19 response, and you know that O'Toole is cut from the same cloth. Again, prioritizing $$$ ahead of lives is what they're all about. And a pandemic is not the time for that. I've said from Day 1, I was so incredibly thankful we had the Lib's in charge when the pandemic hit. I only wish Rachel Notley was still in charge in Alberta.
BC had a higher per capita case count than Ontario but let's not let facts get in the way.
Every Province has taken their turn sucking.

It has come down to the lesser of evils, but it does not take much imagination to visualize what the responses to the COVID pandemic would have been had O'Toole and his merry men had been in charge- Alberta gives a pretty good hint.
Not really. Manitoba has done just fine, and O'toole is an easterner not a Wild Roser.

And let's be honest here: the Trudeau Liberals have given them several easy pitches to knock out of the park.It's almost as if the Regressive Conservatives are out of touch with reality these days.
And FTR, Canada's inability to produce its own vaccine supply goes back to when the Mulroney PCs opted to privatize Connaught Labs, a world leader in its day, and sell it off to foreign interests. That decision ultimately shed light on the falsehood that privatization is always better.
