Name possibly inspired by Meat Loaf's character in Fight Club...?

Everyone is frustrated, but that frustration doesn't automatically translate into support for the protestors or their "goals".

I suppose it all depends on who you interact with - I have had the opposite experience here in AB. FWIW I work in an industry with requirements that are nearly identical to those being protested.

Fully agree that the PM is scoring short-term political points without considering the longer-term effects of his rhetoric re the protestors. I think the article accurately sums up most Canadians' frustrations with this pandemic and our governments' responses. But, even Don Martin acknowledges...

I have no doubt that the vast majority of Canadians are sick and tired of COVID and all of the measures put in place to manage it. An angry, vocal minority has staged these protests, but I don't believe that they have garnered the broad public support that you seem to think they have. Most...

I'd be more inclined to agree with you if the protestors had articulated a coherent message or goals grounded in reality. I'd be surprised if some protestors don't attempt to take credit for pre-planned relaxation of the temporary measures they oppose.

Of course everyone is sick and tired of ongoing public health measures. I don't know anyone who isn't. But the vast majority of people aren't resorting to what has essentially become a very public temper tantrum that lacks a coherent message, and coherent goals. As many here have pointed...

I don't mean to be dismissive, but this concept can just as easily be applied to the protesters and all of the "others" that have joined them.

Found this interesting. Agree that Musk is a pragmatist; anti-mandate, but pro-vaccine. "Musk told Time last month in an interview after he was selected a "Person of the Year" that he and his eligible children are all vaccinated because the science is "unequivocal" but said he is opposed to...

If I was addressing you specifically, I would have quoted you.

It's pretty easy to dismiss opposing points of view by labeling them as symptoms of "<insert name> derangement syndrome". Those who tend to use the phrase could probably be accurately described as holding equally strong views.

Another flip-flop: no exemption for Canadian truckers after all. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-truckers-vaccine-reversal-1.6313200 "On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency said the federal government was backing down from that commitment and would allow...

While "answerable" is obviously the wrong word, the Canadian Aviation Regulations do specify in Standard 421.30 (8), 421.31 (8), 421.34 (7), and 421.35 (7) how military experience is credited towards rotary- and fixed-wing Commercial and Airline Transport pilot licenses, although TC written...

Actually, no. Brad explained exactly what equivalency he was referencing: As to your other points, I'll state once more what has been explained over and over and over again: the vaccination goal is not to eliminate COVID. It is to protect the healthcare system. Those who are vaccinated are...

Fully agree then.

Agree with everything you say, minus any equivalency whatsoever between obesity and an infectious disease.

Nope. It's about protecting the healthcare system against a virus that experts say has the potential to overwhelm it. But that's been reiterated about a thousand times by now. Can't catch fat blah blah blah. Something something seatbelts blah blah blah.

Isn't that "type 2"?

I think you're describing what would happen if there was a successful vote of no confidence.

Agree. Although I wouldn't minimize Trump's speculation as simply "frivolous and confusing". Irresponsible statements by leaders have the same potential as media misrepresentation to undermine the public's trust, as well as the politician's own credibility. Fully agree. Media must do better...
