Amazing that a combination of 0.8% of the population (Mennonites) and 0.4% (Hutterites) account for such a low vaccination rate. It must be the Mormons then (1.7%); wait, their church leadership came out during the pandemic that it was okay to be vaccinated. [/sarcasm]

Why would you raise that last point when you addressed it several lines previously in your post?

But it should be noted that in the general election held two and a half months later, Kesler (who didn't keep his campaign promise of moving to the riding, but instead ran in his home riding) had his ass handed to him in the election. The Western Canada Concept candidate who did run in the...

Having travelled (well vaccinated) to a number of countries that "didn't have the same childhood vaccine program", heathenism was rarely a factor in low vaccination rates. In most cases it was poverty. Not only were the countries unable to afford an equivalent program but the infrastructure...

As the discussion spirals downs to what minority (visible or otherwise) on whom to blame for bringing it to Canada Alberta, the infection has moved past enclaves that traditionally could be blamed for not being part of the "community". Recent warnings puts it closer to home for military...

It'll only get harder.

They have other ways to arm themselves.

While doctors have the opportunity to make "oodles of money", it would be an exceedingly rare event for any organization in Canada to offer a financial incentive (enough to reimburse the CF for three years of med school) to a newly minted MD (not yet in residency) or even one in, or just...

It was the cost of administering the program that contributed to CSBs being discontinued. $58 million per year (not including the interest paid) may have made sense in the 1980s (with soaring interest rates contributing to their popularity) when there was $57 billion of CSBs but by 2016 that...

It's experiential learning. Just like in the military or medicine. See one, do one, teach one. Wait, that didn't sound right.

When the end of war was cause for celebration everyone was involved. Even the nurses marched better than those in the Trump birthday parade.

And the USA didn't want Chinese 5G phone tech because of the concern that personal information and a direct conduit of misinformation will be available to a malevolent actor. To borrow from Newnan. . .

Thanks, a helpful reminder to check my crisper drawer for the quality of my salad fixings.

It depends. Does that shareholder hold voting shares? Do his shares give him seats on the board of directors? What direction can the shareholder force? But the reality is that that your hypothetical "shareholder" doesn't own "shares"; he's a bondholder, much the same as some of us here were when...

For comparison it's one month until Bastille Day and the spectacle that kindled Trump's interest in parades will be on display. Though I've had the opportunity only once, years ago, to be in Paris for the "Défilé militaire du 14 juillet", it's quite the event. Not only on the day but the...

It might have something to do with the onion tied to my belt, but when the only uniform you ever wear (even for ceremonial occasions) is a shapeless, yet comfortable, set of pyjamas and your footwear is essentially a pair of sneakers (which won't aggravate bone spurs) then you will walk the same...
