  2. 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 reason for ignition.

  3.  @MsRexsmurphy  Scientists are currently working on finding out why some people aren’t affected by Covid-19. The same thing was true with AIDS. There is probably a genetic explanation for your experience. Be grateful for that and recognize that others are not as lucky.

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

  8.  @teslabot5650  “And if you take the vaccine, you’re protected," Trump went on. "The results of the vaccine are very good. And if you do get it, it’s a very minor form. People aren’t dying when they take their vaccine. The vaccine worked, but some people aren’t taking it,” he said. “The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones who don’t take their vaccine.”

  9.  @teslabot5650  Trump did spend most of his time in office downplaying the pandemic and promoting ridiculous treatments. Once he realized that his unvaccinated followers were dying, he changed his tune.

  10. 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.

  12. 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.

  13.  @georgeharrison6022  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: over one million. Canadian deaths from COVID-19: over 45,000. To date, 84% of Canadians are fully vaccinated compared to 68% of Americans.

  14. Lich, Bauder, Marazzo, Belton, Dichter, King, Hillier, and the rest of the freedumb fighters should pack their bags and head to Ukraine. Some time in a Russian gulag would serve them well. The convoy was condemned by trucking industry and labour groups. The Canadian Trucking Alliance stated that most protesters had no connection to trucking.

  16. "Marjorie Taylor Greene compares Biden to FDR, LBJ. Thanks for the free campaign ad! The predominantly ludicrous lawmaker from Georgia did Biden an unexpected – and surely unplanned – solid this weekend in a speech at the conservative Turning Point Action conference in Florida, telling Republicans the Democratic president is fiendishly attempting to make people’s lives better. She compared Biden’s "Build Back Better" plan to President Lyndon B. Johnson’s "Great Society," an array of programs from the mid-1960s aimed at combating poverty in America. Those programs included Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps, along with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. As Greene talked about President Johnson, she said, dismissively: “His BIG socialist programs were the Great Society ... big government programs to address education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and welfare.” Greene continued making the case for Biden’s reelection: “Now LBJ had the Great Society, but Joe Biden had Build Back Better, and he still is working on it, the largest public investment in social infrastructure and environmental programs that is actually finishing what FDR started, that LBJ expanded on, and Joe Biden is attempting to complete.” As if connecting Biden to popular social programs wasn’t enough, Greene took the high praise a step further by looping in President Franklin D. Roosevelt, one of the most popular presidents in American history. Greene’s attempt to raise Biden’s profile to that of FDR and the president who launched a war on poverty and created Medicare was clearly appreciated. On Monday morning, the official White House Twitter account retweeted the video of Greene's speech, adding: "Caught us. President Biden is working to make life easier for hardworking families."

  17. That is not what 50% efficacy means. Everyone will respond to treatment differently depending on pre-existing conditions.

  18.  @lisafish1037  The pills are not for you. According to the anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers rules of conduct, you have to wait at least 5 years to try a new medication.

  21. "Don’t Fall for the ‘VAERS Scare’ Tactic. The weaponization of VAERS by anti-vaccine activists serves as a reminder that having access to more information does not always lead to better decisions. Information needs to be correctly interpreted to guide us in the right direction. Anti-vaxxers routinely publicize reports from VAERS as if they are proof that a vaccine is causing clear harm. On its own, VAERS cannot be used to conclude anything, but it can tip off experts that a particular safety signal might be real and deserves to be further studied." McGill University

  22. ​ @lw1zfog ADE is not a thing. "If COVID-19 vaccines caused ADE, people who are vaccinated against COVID-19 would have more severe disease. This is not happening. On the contrary, people who are vaccinated typically have very mild disease or none at all. In fact, the majority of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. are people who aren't fully vaccinated. In May, fully vaccinated people made up just 0.8% of COVID-19 deaths. That means 99.2% of COVID-19 deaths were in unvaccinated people." Nebraska Medicine

Edmonton Sun Alberta not proceeding with Premier Smith’s bill to protect COVID-19 unvaccinated. Smith won the leadership of the United Conservative Party this summer promising to make the change, adding last month that the COVID-19 unvaccinated were the most discriminated group she had seen in her lifetime.

  27. ​ @bigtinnitus6409  "Other Countries Had Mass Shootings. Then They Changed Their Gun Laws. Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway: All had a culture of gun ownership, and all tightened restrictions anyway. Their violence statistics now diverge sharply from those of the U.S. Only the United States, whose rate and severity of mass shootings is without parallel outside of conflict zones, has so consistently refused to answer those events with tightened gun laws. The record is clear, confirmed by reams of studies that have analyzed the effects of policies like Britain’s and Australia’s: When countries tighten gun control laws, it leads to fewer guns in private citizens’ hands, which leads to less gun violence — and to fewer mass shootings."

  28. Mr Rota said that “no one, including fellow parliamentarians and the Ukraine delegation, was aware of my intention or of my remarks before I delivered them. This initiative was entirely my own, the individual in question being from my riding [district] and having been brought to my attention.” BBC

  31. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. We are much more moderate on virtually every social issue but that doesn't mean that ideas from the United States don't find their way across the border. In 1969, former prime minister Pierre Trudeau described the relationship between Canada and the United States in a memorable analogy. “Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt,” he said.

  35. You can be popular with the base but unelectable by the rest of the voters. See if you can spot the Conservative party pattern. In Great Britain: Theresa May to Boris Johnson to Liz Truss to Rishi Sunak. In Canada: Andrew Scheer to Erin O'Toole to Pierre Poilievre.

  41. Mary Mallon commonly known as Typhoid Mary, was an Irish-born American cook believed to have infected 53 people with typhoid fever, three of whom died, and the first person in the United States identified as an asymptomatic carrier of the disease pathogen, Salmonella typhi. Because she persisted in working as a cook, by which she exposed others to the disease, she was twice forcibly quarantined by authorities, eventually for the final two decades of her life. Mallon died after a total of nearly 30 years in isolation. 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.

  42. If I have to choose between health advice from Sheri Tenpenny, who claimed that Covid-19 vaccines would magnetize you and Health Canada, I pick Health Canada. How gullible would you have to be to believe this? Sheri Tenpenny, a Cleveland-based doctor was invited as an expert witness to a hearing in the Ohio House. She had a warning for legislators about coronavirus vaccines. The anti-vaccination advocate known for spreading unfounded claims falsely told legislators that the drugs could leave people “magnetized. No one who got vaccinated is stuck to their refrigerator.

  44. When we don't learn lessons from past mistakes, we are doomed to repeat those mistakes. Despite the claim from Nixon that he was not a crook, the evidence uncovered by Woodward and Bernstein proved otherwise. Nixon resigned but didn't admit to any wrongdoing. Who does that remind you of? So many gullible rubes keep following Trump despite all the warning signs.

  47. We scored the top spot in "Quality of Life" and "Social Purpose," too. It looks like our country gained some serious bragging rights this year according to the 2021 "Best Countries in the World" U.S. News report, where Canada ranked number one overall.
