I didn't think we had a thread for this. 

Is Trudeau this out of touch or does he just not care?

Yes basically your vegans, tree huggers, hippies and granola munchers.

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.

Should have made the swap for the two Michaels like I said. This is going to bring down the Liberal Government and rightly so. 

Well the muricans would not like that. Also its like giving the kidnappers what they want.

Hey, I just follow the science

Who are the anti-vaxxers? Here's what we know — and how they got there in the first place | National Post

There 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?

Are they innocent though?

Seems like anytime someone is arrested for espionage it's cause they are spies.

I think there's anti-vaxxers of different stripes. There are some hippie types that are, but out here in AB, it's a lot of redneck, meat n potatoes, guns and liberty for all types that are anti-vaxxers....

Of course there is.

The legal process in China appears to be a bit one sided so we will probably never know. Best to just get them home already because we are not going to win either way.

Yes anti-vaxxers live at either end of the fringes of society.

Y'know, I started typing out something that I thought was really funny...in response to this.......but I now know you're sensitive to that sort of thing......so I didn't.

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. 

Crazy people are crazy people....it's a fair comment to lump them all together, IMO.

I wasn't fooling anyone...I have seen exactly this first hand.  I don't particularly care whether you believe or not.

Okay but you do realize that they aren't all one in the same, that would be stereotyping.

The federal government is still standing by their September prediction. Assuming all these additional vaccines get approved I would tend to believe that it can get done this year. The problem of course will be the anti-vaxxers simply refusing to get vaccinations which will allow this thing to be a problem longer than it should.

Vaccination Passports (proof) will do the trick. You want to travel by air? You'll ned to show proof of vaccination. Want to go to the States by air or vehicle? Show proof. Stay in a hotel? Show proof. Want a plumber or electrician to fix something in your home? Show proof. That will get the asshat anti vaxxers motivated to get their shots.

Anti maskers are assholes.

There are plenty of ‘professionals’ -chiropractors, natural medicine et. al. who promote anti-vaccine rhetoric - it brings them clientele from that segment of the population. So yes, I realize there’s a lot going on, and most of it is not good, whether they believe in wearing masks or not. 

Rex Murphy: This is the worst Canadian government ever. Can there be any question? (msn.com)

A good summary on everything that has gone wrong for the Trudeau Liberals. They continue to sink in the polls and it's a dead heat with the Cons now.

Oh yay. Rex Murphy - Canada's answer to "what would the embodiment of Tucker Carlson's faux outrage and indignation look like." 

Yeah, I am taking a hard pass on this one.

Rex Murphy is Canada's answer to a Fox News correspondent. Complete and total garbage.
