  1. Section 2(c) guarantees the right to peaceful assembly; it does not protect riots and gatherings that seriously disturb the peace: R. v. Lecompte, [2000] J.Q. No. 2452 (Que. C.A.). It has been stated that the right to freedom of assembly, along with freedom of expression, does not include the right to physically impede or blockade.

  2. It's too bad that we can't hold the anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers responsible for all the misinformation that they share.

  3.  Winston Winston  Ted Nugent has admitted that he was wrong about the virus. Perhaps you should learn from his experience.

  4. What difference does it make if fires are started by Jewish space lasers, careless campers or lightning? Hot dry weather is going to allow fires to burn longer regardless of the cause.

  6. That is what six year olds say.

  7. US deaths from COVID-19: over 900,000. Canadian deaths from COVID-19: 35,000. If deaths from COVID-19 was an Olympic sport, the United States would get the gold medal.

  8. No thanks. You have enough problems of your own. For the first time, Canada takes the top overall spot as the number one country in the world in the 2021 Best Countries Report. After ranking second in 2020, Canada has surpassed Switzerland in the 2021 report followed by Japan, Germany, Switzerland, and Australia.

  9. Russian troll.

  10. The doctors wrote the prescription. It's too bad that so many people didn't fill it. The advice from the doctors: "Don't have a big gathering at Christmas." The response from the anti-maskers: "You can't tell me what to do!" The RSVP from the COVID-19 virus: "Thanks for the invitation to the party!"

  12. You are describing science. New things happen. An investigation begins.

  13. ​ @nillybodilly5560 Canada's pandemic response, including following health measures as well as getting vaccinated, was successful based on the only measure that counts: deaths. US deaths from COVID-19: over 1.1 million. Canadian deaths from COVID-19: over 52,000.

  14. Nope. Not unless you live in North Korea.

  15.  @Barry_dingle69  No one turned into a zombie. No one is stuck to their refrigerator.

  16. The real issue is all the excess deaths from COVID-19.

  17.  @AutoBudz  The problem with those drugs is they are not effective against COVID-19.

  18. People who had severe illness with COVID-19 might experience organ damage affecting the heart, kidneys, skin and brain. Inflammation and problems with the immune system can also happen. It isn't clear how long these effects might last.

  19. Being in a metal tube with Typhoid Mary doesn't seem smart.

  20. You have described science. When new information becomes available, the advice changes. Congratulations!

  21. This segment is clearly an opinion piece. If you have a different opinion, feel free to share with supporting evidence.

  22. We're not governed by temper tantrum. Section 2(c) guarantees the right to peaceful assembly; it does not protect riots and gatherings that seriously disturb the peace: R. v. Lecompte, [2000] J.Q. No. 2452 (Que. C.A.). It has been stated that the right to freedom of assembly, along with freedom of expression, does not include the right to physically impede or blockade.

  23. After the 2020 United States presidential election, the campaign for incumbent President Donald Trump and others filed and lost at least 63 lawsuits contesting election processes, vote counting, and the vote certification process in multiple states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Among the judges who dismissed the lawsuits were some appointed by Trump himself.

  24. If being a well informed voter was mandatory, 90% of the population should not vote.

  25. If COVID-19 is nothing to worry about, you should ask Typhoid Mary to make your Thanksgiving dinner.

  26. Actually, a minority government is exactly what we voted for.

  27. The reason for refusing to do the transplant on an unvaccinated patient is that transplant patients are immunocompromised. "Why Omicron Is a Dangerous Threat for Transplant Patients. For organ transplant patients and other immunocompromised individuals, the omicron variant ushered in a particularly fraught phase of the pandemic. The emergence of the omicron variant of COVID-19, which is more contagious and multiplies 70 times faster than its delta counterpart, has brought with it a potentially life-threatening period this winter for individuals who are elderly, immunocompromised or unvaccinated. One group that is particularly vulnerable but often overlooked is those who have received organ transplants." USA Today

  28. Smith set a bear trap. Trudeau is not a bear. Trudeau will not disallow the Sovereignty Act. Instead, Albertans will object when they are confronted with reality. You’re suspending my right to collective bargaining? You’re suspending fundamental rights and freedoms that are afforded to us in the Charter? That is the harsh reality that Queen Danielle will face.

  29.  @JayTX.  I think that I will follow my own family doctor's advice rather than the advice of the famous Dr. Blumpkin.

  30. Imagine the uproar if the government made you eat your vegetables and exercise.

  32.  @MM-tg1xi  You don't sound like you are interested in any facts that don't align with what you have been told by your imaginary Facebook and Twitter friends.

  33. 23,000 Canadians have died.

  34.  @wnose  Your math is even worse. Over 3 million people have died across the world. That is the only number that matters. Without health measures, it would have been much worse.

  35. Dr. Kyrie Irving and Dr. Aaron Rodgers should be done with their research soon.

  36. That is funny because it describes everyone who does not take the pandemic seriously. Anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers are definitely moronic.

  38.  @pizann350  Proponents of minority governments look fondly at the 1960s when Lester B. Pearson won back-to-back minorities that forced deal-brokering with the New Democratic Party. That era was the bedrock of the Canadian social safety net, with the Pearson Liberals advancing national medicare, Canada student loans and the Canada Pension Program.

  39. You should brush your teeth and use mouthwash. That would help your breathsoup smell better.

  40. We have always had a mail in ballot option. Many Canadians live abroad or can't vote in person for a variety of reasons.

  41. The problem with natural immunity is that you have to catch and survive COVID-19.

  42. Canada's response to the pandemic has been quite successful based on the only measure that counts: deaths. US deaths from COVID-19: over 981,000. Canadian deaths from COVID-19: 37,000. If deaths from COVID-19 was an Olympic sport, the United States would get the gold medal.

  43. Yes indeed.

  44. Amen. Who needs pesky medical experts with degrees when we can learn all we need to know from the YouTube experts?

  45. The only reason that we know about this is that everyone is trying to be transparent.

  46. Deaths matter. "Texas has seen nearly 9,000 COVID-19 deaths since February. All but 43 were unvaccinated people. Preliminary data shows 99.5% of COVID-related deaths in Texas were among unvaccinated people, according to the Department of State Health Services." Texas Tribune July 21, 2021

  47.  @DigbyOdel-et3xx  Anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers should be held accountable x infinity. It's fine to decide for yourself not to be vaccinated. It's not fine to spread misinformation in an effort to discourage vaccination in others.

  48. Even in a country that prioritizes individual freedom as much as the U.S. does, citizens do not have the right to harm their colleagues or their colleagues’ families, friends and communities. One person’s right to a healthy life is greater than another person’s right to a specific job. On Earth One, no one is allowed to spread a communicable disease at will. Society makes rules for all sorts of behaviors. You are seldom free to run around doing whatever you like. Things that are not governed by laws are limited by social norms. It's not illegal to cut into a lineup in the grocery store but it's not polite. We have laws that require us to wear seatbelts because apparently we can't be trusted to make that decision on our own.

  49. Canada's response to the pandemic (following health measures and getting vaccinated) has been quite successful based on the only measure that counts: deaths. US deaths from COVID-19: 1.1 million. Canadian deaths from COVID-19: over 49,000.

  50. There is literally a Seinfeld episode for every occasion. "Kramer refuses to go to a doctor for a bad cough. He finds a dog named Smuckers who has a cough, and takes him to a veterinarian, since he trusts vets more than doctors. However, his throat is too tender to swallow the medication, and he begins acting like a dog."
