Booked mine at my local Co-Op. 2 week wait. There's like 6-8 mega sites then everyone else which is not easy to find on their site.

When they decided to not allow booking of boosters during the summer in preparation for a "big bivalent booster push" I certainly expected more. Booking my bivalent booster was way more difficult and frustrating than any other shot I've booked. Not to mention they shut down the convention centre just as the bivalent was becoming available to everyone...

A little background on the loonies running in the municipal elections:
Seems like Pembina Trails SD has more than their fair share of nutter candidates for some reason, including 2 in the same ward.

He's pure trash.
When they show you who they are, believe them.
I think someone on this forum said they didn't think PP would be able to stand up to the national spotlight. More people aware of the garbage he's spewing, its harder to hide from people pointing out the discrimination and lies. Obviously the tags existed on his videos for a long time, but it was only discovered and made public because he is leader of the party.
Hopefully people still have enough confidence in journalism and news agencies do their due diligence and research to expose more of this sh**. Hopefully Canadians care enough to vote and not allow him power.

just using buzz words that mean nothing like woke
Using woke as an insult is a way to say education is bad. When it is used by Conservatives pejoratively, you can usually substitute smart/educated in the sentence without any change.

Split the vote? Combined it's still not enough.
I think it is still a legitimate point. A name like Murray gets off to strong start due to name recognition and knowledge that he is a known commodity that didn't completely mess up the city already. As people get closer to the election and realize they need to do some research (like myself), they gain knowledge of other candidates. If they see Murray with a commanding lead already, they see little point to choose either Gillingham or Loney thinking that it is already decided.
Fortunately it seems like Klein and Motkaluk don't have a chance. I feel like I can't even consider Gillingham - anyone that has even flirted with the current Manitoba PC's is pretty much automatically disqualified for me.

If you want a progressive city that actually acts like a city should, vote Loney. If you want more of the same barely treading water, Gillingham.
I did some initial investigation shortly after I posted my last comment. Loney is definitely the favourite for me right now. Great vision and good experience. Listened to and read some of the stuff he's done before considering entering politics and its great. Hopefully some of Murray's support fades with the latest revelations and moves to Loney.

Who stands out in terms of quality of the ones running for mayor? I think with so many candidates and no huge names or anyone making any positive splashes, it is easy to see why Murray would take it. I haven't taken much of a dive into policies, but it is hard for the average voter to do when there are so many options.

We live with the stupidest people and, for some reason, send them to represent us. This is totally on form for an MP from the Battlefords.
I've unfortunately come to expect stuff like this from MTG or Boebert, but it is really disappointing to see here. Surprised she used the term perplexed properly, but I'm guessing she's heard that term an awful lot in her life.

Despite winning elections, racism has been isolated as a significant factor that directly led to Obama receiving less votes than expected results. Trump and all the politicians that have since jumped on the Trump bandwagon also do better than expected amongst racists. Any increase in minorities plays poorly for them in polling, but good for them in terms of inflaming voters that immigrants are the cause of their problems. There is some interesting stats/analysis on this in the book "Everybody Lies" by Seth Stevens-Davidowitz.

Interesting to say for someone that has basically been a Pollievre parrot with lines like "JUSTINFLATION" would say this. One of the big problems with PP is that his followers have little care or little ability to comprehend facts. If political popularity were decided by good policy and facts, PP would have no chance and wouldn't come close to leading anything but the PPC. I'd assume most people critical of PP/CPC on this forum take issue with the embrace of misinformation and lack of legitimate policies way more than his annoying personality.
What specific concerns you about the direction the CPC is heading?

WHat is PP's platform anyways?
"oWnINg ThE lIbs!" and "frEesT coUntry iN ThE WoRlD"?
WHat the **** does this even mean?
PP= Poorman's Populist.
Did he address the main concerns that we face as a nation? CLimate Change and Health Care?
PP has already hinted at his stance on freedom by not allowing questions after calling a press conference.

I have generally voted Conservative but in the past few years, I have moved away from the party or the party has moved away from me. Lots of policies I can't support like not thinking climate change is real or support for the Convoy. PP and this party scare me as its Trump style MAGA nonsense. Sadly I can see the focus on cost of living and housing helping them win despite the Cons offering no real policy in this area.
It is important for people who see things from the right side of the political spectrum to realize the party is moving away from them toward a very unhealthy MAGA-style politics fueled by, and propagating misinformation. It is better for our country to have a party on the conservative side that actually believes in conservative values, rather than what they currently represent. The sane part of the country/party need to drag the party back towards that after Bergen/PP rather than toward the Bernier/PPC side. We've seen how that egg can't be unscrambled in the US.
Why would anyone want to go in that direction? I'm legitimately baffled that the events in the US haven't pushed the PC party closer to the centre to avoid that at all costs. Several unsuccessful elections in a row so stoop to a strategy that has worked elsewhere?

Stefanson was out of her depth as Health Minister and then gets rewarded as Premier where she has shown herself to we woefully incompetent. Every year this Province and City get left further and further behind and an exodus might be right around the corner. I also don't think that the NDP or Liberals bring much to the table but that's more of and indictment of the current crop of politicians in this Province
Disagree in terms of MB Libs. I've thought for a while that Lamont is the best provincial party leader I've seen in this province in a while and Manitoba would do best with a Liberal government. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much to cheer for them because Lib/NDP fighting out the sane parts of MB isn't enough to overcome to moron mob.

Oh they are thick as thieves with Republicans. We got mlas in Alberta who were involved in Maga ****.
There's a picture of the former interim leader of the Conservatives wearing a Maga hat. Goes completely with Candice Bergen's politics, so it should come as a surprise.

It must take a lot to leave the party and risk losing your job to do something like this. Lots of respect for Conservatives that do this in the name of actually staying true to traditional Conservative values rather than chasing the alt-right misinformation-fed vote. More than anyone across the political spectrum, Canada needs Conservatives to call this out and oppose it. The US needed Republicans to massive oppose Trump, and lost their opportunity in the sake of power-hunting and fear. Unfortunately actual values mean little when power is up for grabs.

Such a low, scumbag tactic to continually paste people with the word liberal (incorrectly) as an insult. I would hope that the majority of Canadians see this for what it is, but we've seen members of this forum repeatedly use Liberal, again incorrectly, as an attack.
Continually screaming BIAS!!!! towards legitimate journalism weakens journalism and news in the eyes of some Canadians and leaves them prone to believing that agencies like Rebel News are unbiased.

Convoy Party of Canada.
I think this comment is unfair. There's a whole lot of other sh*tty things that PP stands for to only be stained with one thing. 😁
Looks like Canada will have an opportunity to either embrace or reject heading in the direction of our southern neighbours.

I think it's more twofold: 1) He ridicules, threatens, mocks, lies about varying types people that knuckle draggers absolutely enjoy and get really pumped up about: 2) His hateful soul mirrors their hateful soul.
99.9 percent of us think we are overall good decent people and it's 'those people' that are hateful, immoral and bad. This so called Maga movement has really underscored this.
At some point sooner than later we need a clear decision on this.
He's targeting the least educated and those with the least capability for critical thinking. He's telling them that they know more than the educated/woke people and that makes them feel good. Especially the ones that have been near the bottom of society and likely grew up facing some ridicule and low self-belief for their lack of intelligence. Telling people they are smarter and more deserving than others is a powerful force and it makes easy followers when the leader is telling you that you are superior. We see the same strategy and target audience with PP in Canada.

I hate the hit but I’m trying to be realistic about it and I feel like if Willie did that to Fajardo we’d be upset with a flag.
But I see both sides
I think if I saw one of our guys do it, I'd hang my head and wish he hadn't, but understand a penalty is coming. There was a play last year by Alexander or possibly a LB that I thought was late and deserved a penalty.
I think there also deserves to be a different standard when it is a player that is pretty much only known as a dirty player that attempts to injure QBs and then celebrate it.

I was watching and wondered if he got hurt or benched because I never heard his name and never noticed him. Until that dirty play.
It wasn't the hardest of hits, but it was very dirty. Absolutely no excuse, no losing balance, no being pushed. Just dirty.

Any clue why the reversal? Before they paused the booster rollout for an expanded bivalent vaccine rollout in fall, now they are opening it up to original shots as well?

Following the meeting, Stefanson said she and Trudeau discussed the issue but remained at odds. She said suspending the tax would be more helpful than collecting it and then providing rebates.
"Manitobans need that money now. So rather than taking the money away from them and going through rebates and all this, just leave the money with them," she said.
Is this not exactly what her government introduced with the property tax rebate?

Two things here: I'm amazed (or perhaps disgusted) at 1) the level of incompetent stupidity, intentional or not, of Pierre Poilievre regarding a federal institution like the BOC (he's been a politician at the federal level for decades); and 2) those poll results (bolded). The latter isn't really all that surprising considering recent events, though.
Misinformation and its seemingly deliberate propagation by deceitful political figures make for a pretty harmful combination to the wellbeing of our democracy.
Unfortunately I doubt this will have much effect. Those who believe PP's misinformation prefer to get their information spoon fed to them by PP or incredibly biased "alternative media" such a Rebel News. The best this may be able to accomplish is to prevent more people from boarding the misinformation train, but I don't even have much optimism for that.

Covid-19

Except that the kids are at heightened risk of contracting diabetes (Risk for Newly Diagnosed Diabetes 30 Days After SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Persons Aged 18 Years — United States, March 1, 2020–June 28, 2021 | MMWR (cdc.gov))
The adults are likely at increased risk of damage to the brain (SARS-CoV-2 is associated with changes in brain structure in UK Biobank | Nature)
And that everyone that contracts it is at higher risk of heart problems (COVID and the Heart: It Spares No One | Johns Hopkins | Bloomberg School of Public Health (jhu.edu))
Not to mention the chance of developing other symptoms with long Covid.
But you are correct, I don't believe the world ended.
