Using this type of gun for hunting is not a viable excuse either, if you need to use a mock-machine gun to kill a deer, the deer deserves to live another day.

I just lost my 90 y.o. Aunt, she didn't die directly from COVID-19 but very hard to say it wasn't related to this pandemic by the associated working conditions created in her care-home. My cousins were unable to visit her during the last 2 weeks of her life, my Mom is in a similar situation and is at super high risk, absolutely no visitation allowed.

I think you would be putting older family members in jeopardy unless everyone attending the dinner was tested negative, especially since many carriers have shown no symptoms and are not aware they are infected.

They say this, but no one has the balls to actually enforce it. Last long-weekend the population in my area doubled with the influx of cottagers coming in from Alberta, I expect the same for the Victoria long-weekend. It's mostly a "suggestion" that many will choose to ignore.

By the numbers it sounds like Randy is asking for "pie in the sky" which would include compensating players under contract for not playing games. That's not going to happen, sure as **** players will not receive any substantial compensation for a lost season. Player salaries will be the first cut, but no surprise and they already know that, as my old boss would say in many critical situations "somebodies got to go, and it's probably going to be you".

Quite possibly the last province in Canada that should try this as they have by far the most cases of COVID-19 and the most deaths, but nonetheless it sounds like Quebec will be the first to re-open schools and their economy. "Quebec has moved more quickly than other provinces to reopen schools, despite having the most deaths related to COVID-19." "Legault said Monday the decision to begin loosening coronavirus restrictions by reopening elementary schools was made, in part, because the risk of younger children developing complications from COVID-19 is very low." https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-schools-questions-covid-19-roberge-1.5547693 Why Legault feels it's safe to reopen economy, even though Quebec hit hardest by COVID-19 "At the outset of the pandemic, Quebec moved quicker than most in shutting down schools and most of its economy. Now, more than a month later, the province is again distinguishing itself, by setting out a firm timeline for phasing out some of those measures. Premier François Legault and several ministers have spent the past two days explaining how the province will reopen schools and businesses. The broad strokes of the plan include reopening elementary schools and daycares on May 11, though children in the greater Montreal area will have to wait a week longer.

"The CFLPA foisted paragraph 16 of the standard players contract onto the table and it was seen by the league as an act of aggression, whether that was the intention or not. It states: It is mutually understood and agreed that if the operation of the CFL is suspended, this contract shall immediately be terminated and the remuneration to be paid to the Player shall be on the basis as provided by Paragraph 11 herein. Paragraph 11 states players are entitled to compensation for work they have completed, meaning there would be no pay cheques if the 2020 season is cancelled. So the interpretation of paragraph 16 is indeed a major issue, given that its trigger mechanism would send every CFL player into immediate free agency. And yet, it seems obvious that the intent of the paragraph is to address a complete cessation of league operations, a folding of the tent if you will, not a postponement in the midst of a pandemic, or even the cancellation of an entire season. And it’s believed the CFLPA doesn’t want to leverage such dire circumstances to create an entirely new class of free agent."

It works, I've been wrapping myself in Christmas tree lights hooked up to a couple of batteries for weeks now and I haven't caught the virus yet! It works like a personal force-field, especially effective when I go grocery shopping.

Hell they've had software that can track your monitor activity for over 20 years, if an employer want to know exactly what employees are doing with their time, it's not difficult for them to find out.

Outbreak in BC at a poultry plant, probably the similar circumstances to the High River meat factory. The latest numbers released on Tuesday followed news of a new community outbreak at Vancouver's United Poultry Company chicken processing plant, where 28 workers have tested positive for COVID-19.

We must listen to the same radio programs. 😁 "A "confirmation bias" is a type of cognitive bias that involves favouring information that confirms your previously existing beliefs or biases. " Turns out a lot of scientific research is chock-full of non-confirmable evidence that can not be accurately duplicated, it mostly shows up in how data is qualified and interpreted. Bias is a part of the human condition, it's hard-wired right into our programming. I like girls with big ****...can't explain, just do.

I have a buddy that was involved in the planning stages for the renos. at 24 Sussex Dr. aprox. 10 years ago for which he was very well compensated. These projects are perpetual money pits that just keep giving, and contractors keep grabbing everything they can.

Speaking of which.....a great example of how amazingly inefficient government can be at spending tax-payer dollars. Prime minister's lakeside residence undergoing $8.6M renovation https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/harrington-lake-renovations-ncc-1.5535502

No, but we already know his name, so they've provided him the spotlight he sought. The media will be pumping out his saga for the next 2 weeks so the next nutbar anxious to make a name for himself can take inspiration and collect more paper-clippings. If they treated shooters with anonymous identities as they do juveniles and the victims of crimes, plus suppressed the details of the crime through a publication ban, I believe there would be a significant reduction in copy-cat mass-shootings. When nothing else works, try psychology.

Trudeau announces aid for struggling energy sector, including $1.7B to clean up orphan wells Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced $1.7 billion to clean up orphan wells in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia, as well as aid for rural businesses and people working in the arts and culture sectors. The money for cleaning up orphan and inactive wells is expected to help maintain 5,200 jobs in Alberta, which will receive about $1 billion of the funding. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/financial-aid-covid19-trudeau-1.5535629 'Not going to do anything:' Oil executives say federal abandoned well program comes too late" OTTAWA — Energy executives panned a new well reclamation program unveiled by the Liberal government on Friday, saying it comes weeks too late and fails to provide much-needed liquidity to companies pummelled by a monumental shock to oil demand. “This is not going to do anything,” said Grant Fagerheim, chief executive of Calgary-based Whitecap Resources. “If this is as good as it gets, it will do very little or nothing to assist with operations for companies.” https://calgaryherald.com/news/not-going-to-do-anything-oil-executives-say-federal-abandoned-well-program-comes-too-late/wcm/67af68dd-50db-437c-b11a-3d3218cb6bab/

I consider going to the grocery store once a week to stock up the riskiest activity of my week by far the likeliest place I could catch the virus. I wouldn't want to have to do it multiple times per week. The stores themselves seem to be clean and well organized, it's the other customers I'm paranoid of, plenty of people still not taking this seriously enough. Every time I go I see families of 3-4 shopping together as if they're out for a Sunday stroll.

To put this in perspective. Majority stay home The protest of a few thousand people in Lansing attracted gobs of media attention. But for most Michiganders across the state, it was just another day observing the stay home order during the pandemic in hopes things return to normal soon. Polling taken April 6 to 8 from the progressive Center for American Progress showed 71% of Michigan voters approve of how Whitmer is handling the COVID-19 crisis and 29% disapprove. Trump was at 51% positive and 49% negative. https://www.michiganadvance.com/2020/04/15/whitmer-stay-home-order-protest-turns-into-trump-celebration-with-confederate-flags-and-guns/

I figure many of the flights are cargo but who knows.

Jason Kenney is preparing to throw open the doors for business in AB. even though they have not taken the same precautions that Taiwan and Singapore had in place to combat COVID-19 months ago. Good luck Jason, yer gonna need it. Kenney following Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea leads in reopening Alberta economy EDMONTON -- Alberta’s premier says the province will follow the steps of other countries who’ve kept their economies functioning while keeping a second wave of COVID-19 cases at bay. Jason Kenney pointed to Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea as examples of jurisdictions from which he’d be taking inspiration. His plan consists of five main components: a strengthened effort to track the contacts of those who have tested positive; stronger border screening; public health order enforcement using technology like smartphone apps; and asking Albertans to wear masks in “crowded public spaces” like transit. https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/kenney-following-taiwan-singapore-south-korea-leads-in-reopening-alberta-economy-1.4898930

Seems most cases could have been prevented with a stricter travel ban. If anyone has a flight tracker app set up on their cell phone take a look at the air traffic patterns in the US happening right now, it may not be back to normal yet, but the volume of traffic is amazing. I don't know who is flitting around on airplanes during this pandemic, but I would think it's a pretty bad idea to climb on-board a narrow metal tube with a closed air circulation system full of strangers with a host of strange infections. I guess it's all the people who consider themselves "essential".

Time will tell whether Sweden has taken the correct approach or not, they are certainly paying a heavier toll upfront by not closing down, but in the long run they may come through this quicker than other jurisdictions and the numbers may well balance out to similar mortality rates. The frightful thing right now is the uncertainty and the suggestion that this state of isolation and closure could extend through to the fall and beyond....nobody really knows.

“It was a rough one today,” San Antonio Food Bank president and CEO Eric Cooper told the San Antonio Express News. “We have never executed on as large of a demand as we are now.” There may be a shortage of available food but they still have plenty of guns. I could see a new reality TV show in the making, "Hunting for Food" takes on a different meaning. ☺️

As long as we're planning to restructure society it's as good a time as any to restructure the economy in order to prevent corporations from vacuuming up the majority of dollars spent within communities and transferring their profits to other jurisdictions to lessen their tax burden. This is one practice that has gone too far and been allowed to go on too long. The majority of dollars spent within a community should stay within that community and not be siphoned off into the pockets of a few, this would create more vibrant communities and benefit everyone in terms of wealth creation and increased job opportunities.
