RE:RE:RE:RE:Lockdowns vs openAn entire subsecstion of the country doing well....Ignore them they are doing well and are irrellevant. Okay...lets take BC whch had the tightest lockdowns outside of the maritimes to any other province and compare it to provinces with large urban populations and large amounts of international and interprovincial travel.
BC to Alberta population 1.2 x more people in BC
BC to Alberta Deaths 1.4 x more deaths in Alberta
BC to Ontario population 3.5 x more people in Ontario
BC to Ontario Deaths 5.1 x more deaths in Ontario
BC to Quebec population 1.7 x more people in Quebec
BC to Quebec Deaths 7.5 x more deaths in Quebec
Hmmmmm.......(BTW the losers also have right leaning governments)
Oh yeah, Go Enbridge!

I am not ashamed to admit that I voted liberal out of CONVICTION for many years. To keep it short the scandals came, I looked the othe way.
There are just too many problems to ignore IMO. I am confident that any other government coalition would have made a mess out of this pandemic situation too. We have to take responsability for our actions. JT, the people surrounding him & his leadership team took no responsability to date. That's shamefull in my books. They are trying to cover their lack of response and unprepareness by throwing free money at the population. Like we are dancing on a pole, in his favourite strip club.
The alternatives are mind blowing with O'Toole and Singh. How can Canada have such leaders is mind blowing to me.
Enough about politics ... I hope and trust new leaders will arise to lead our country.
Go Enbridge :)

Unfortunately the provincial governments took the only tool we had at our disposal out too late and put it away too soon. Look at how well the maritimes are doing. Just a better implementation of lockdown procedures.
Wish we had a better candidate on the right to challenge Justin? Well, wish in one hand and shite in the other and see which hand fills up first.
As long as you righties keep enabling the Con party with dog whistle phrases like, "China virus" those unappealing dumbass choices is all you are going to get and the left will continute to steam roll you at the polls and the voting booths. Enjoy!
Oh yeah, Go Enbridge! ;-)

The budget is a major issue, no liberal wants to talk about it. They'd rather talk about WE scandal believe it or not. COVID pandemic will eventually be over, we will adapt with the help of modern medicine. The problem is that there is no candidate appealing enough to fight JT from the opposition. I wish Pierre Poilievre was from the GTA ... he would put a good fight.

NPC - Yeah, all the store owners after the third wave will be in an ICU bed with a tube rammed down their throat slowly drowning to death. Guleph and Waterloo universities just released a study today indicating we could see 3800 new cases each day in Ontario by mid April, far worse than we've every seen.
They also predicted 2.5 million deaths in the US. The problem with University predictions along with politicians predictions thay are all based on the word "maybe". Of course maybe in the eyes of politicians means we are following the science. I call Bull Chit. Politicians and profs at Universities have their jobs because they can not operate in the real world they would have to actually work.
When is Justin going to table a budget? Enough said about work and in Justins defense the other leaders are NO better.
