My mom who is 80 and a lifetime smoker had the covid and recovered, maybe just lucky but my sister is a nurse at St B and was intubating those in ICU and said none were smokers, pretty hard to ignore as the article suggests.

Emergency room doctor flattens 6 shockingly stupid things Republicans say to justify reopening
Written by Sarah K. Burris / Raw Story May 11, 2020

In a Washington Post editorial, Dr. Leana Wen outlined six shockingly stupid that that many in the GOP are advocating.

I’ve defended pallister but this is ridiculous.  Claims they’ll be $5 billion down but screws 700 people to save $11 million?  That’s brutal. He just lost my vote.  That’s it.  Ofcourse Wab is a disgrace so options are limited provincially.

You don't believe in giving second chances?

Bryan Adams in hot water over xenophobic IG post: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bryan-adams-instagram-1.5565624

Another clueless celebrity sharing his ignorance on social media.

See, now no one will condone his statements, no one will say "that's just what rockstars do."

Yet, with those hockey players this week, there was willingness to say "that's just what hockey players do."
