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...

1. Reports that "Trump said drink bleach" are made to mock Trump, in order to score political points. We agree on this. Are any pro-Trump mouthpieces reporting this? Probably not. 2. Those reports, whether they are exaggerated, distorted, or otherwise spun, are made by anti-Trump...

Just curious about this statement, 401 vs 409. Is it a NORAD / domestic role vs NATO / expeditionary role difference?

Not really an accurate depiction of how the USCP operates. The Chief reports to the Capitol Police Board, which consists of the Sgts-At-Arms of the House and Senate, and the Architect of the Capitol. This is not a House or Senate committee. Congress ensures oversight via 4 appropriations /...

Canadian Vaccine Injury Support Program https://vaccineinjurysupport.ca/en "All current and future Health Canada authorized vaccines or immunoglobulins that provide protection from preventable infectious disease, administered in Canada on or after December 8, 2020, will be covered under the...

Just for clarity's sake, the limited legal immunity you mention is provided by a Declaration under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act. The Declaration was made 4 Feb 2020 by HHS Secretary Azar. Despite this immunity, there is relief for those who are severely affected...

Good post. BC Liberals are in fact totally unaffiliated with the federal party. NB, NS, PEI, and NL Liberals are all officially affiliated with the federal party (i.e. the President of the NSLP is also the Provincial Board Director of the LPC, according to the NSLP constitution).

I agree - wearing a mask outdoors has never made any sense to me. I haven't had to wear a mask indoors since July 1, other than to comply with my employer's requirements - that said, I have no problem giving people a slightly wider berth for the next little while. People have been living with...

Serious question: At what point is a vaccine no longer considered experimental? Have processes been skipped or neglected during Health Canada's approval process for AZ, Moderna, and Pfizer?

Fully agree with this post. I think the anger, at least partly, is due to the fact that these questions remain. The state took custody of these children (it's reasonable to assume that a majority of bodies discovered on school grounds are of school age) and with that came a duty to protect...

Respectfully, I'm not sure how a "consensus that most of the children died late 19th / early 20th century" is possible - these unmarked graves have only recently been discovered. The fact remains, that while we don't know details about how / when / under what circumstances these children died...
