Honestly don't care. The whole notion that some people are born "above" others makes me want to vomit.

I worked in the same building with Friar Nicholson back in the day. Smoked and drank his way through Type 1 Diabetes. Ended up looking 25 years older than his age and died young. I respect his choices as he wanted to live life. The difference being that his diabetes wasn't contagious.

It's an airborne virus, but you're faithful to hand-sanitizing. Whatever gives you comfort, I guess.

My mask is always on indoors in public spaces. I've avoided crowded outdoor spaces since the mask mandate was lifted.

The old "everyone else is doing it argument" in reverse. During a pandemic of an air-borne virus. Meanwhile 10.5 million children have lost a parent or caregiver to COVID. https://wapo.st/3B4CQjw

Anyone who trusts Covid stats from the Alberta government is a fool. We are still trying to figure out the effects of COVID, but long-COVID is a thing and we don't know if there will be effective treatments in our lifetime. New studies are showing that multiple COVID infections lead to increased mortality. Children are dying from COVID. They aren't all super-resilient. 527 kids aged 0-4 have died of COVID in the U.S. Given that repeated infections are more likely to cause severe outcomes, it's dangerous to think that kids will be as similarly "resilient" as you think they are. Vaccinations have saved many, many lives up til now and the bivalent version against Omicron shows great promise. Kids get vaccinations against all kinds of abhorrent illnesses and diseases. The vaccines themselves are not abhorrent. Masks don't restrict your airflow in any meaningful way.

What's his title right now? What do the responsibilities of that title entail? The TBurg-i-ness of this post has not gone unnoticed.

Change for the sake of change rarely works out when the party you're changing to won't present a real platform.

Well you better reconsider who actually destroyed the benefits of that economy. Under Peter Lougheed Oil royalty % (as value of petroleum sales) was 33.1%. By 2012 it was down to 4.3% under Alison Redford. That is all pre-NDP government and all negotiated by the province. Alberta would have had 865 Billion in the Heritage Fund by 2012 if they hadn't knuckled under to the Petro Industry. http://changenowforgood.ca/albertas-new-premier-view-royalties/

As much as I hated the last second attempt against Montreal, it is clear that the Bombers and Legghio have handled it extremely well. O'Shea had his back from the start and Legghio noticed that the sun still came up the next morning and there was no manure on his driveway. Maybe you have to feel that crushing disappointment in yourself to realize that you are not going to be defined by a bad attempt, life goes on and you'll get 'em next time. Pretty clear from the dodged punt block that he isn't that concerned about what can go wrong on a play anymore (or at least now).

I've been saying for at least the last 8 games that if we are within 3 at half-time, we are going to win. Montreal game was weird for so many reasons (7-7 at half-time). I honestly haven't thought that the Bombers were going to lose a game all year after the opening kickoff. I'll admit to being a little stressed at times...

I understand there is a traffic jam south of Mosaic. Be safe! Live picture:

"Your choice", but not the Moderna bivalent choice unless you're over 65 or First Nations.

Unless the capitalists were Jewish, of course. Wealth Confiscation and the Nazi State The Nazis considered German Jews "a foreign race"--but they were also very interested in their wealth. Anti-Semitism had a long history in Europe: it was largely influenced by the Christian belief perpetuated in the Middle Ages that the Jewish people were collectively responsible for the death of Jesus. Persecution of European Jews was widespread during the Crusades, beginning in 1095, when Jewish communities along the Rhine and the Danube were massacred. Due to this discrimination, many Jews adapted by turning to entrepreneurship and some had become quite successful by the twentieth century. Hitler pointed to their wealth in order to pit many economically stressed German citizens against German Jews. This was Hitler's first step in fueling anti-Semitism, long before he made a move against Jewish lives, as Götz Ally explains in his probing and well-researched study of Nazi economic policy, Hitler's Beneficiaries: Plunder, Racial War, and the Nazi Welfare State. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-nazi-tax-on-jewish-we_b_9385630

My apologies - uninformed.

Stating an ill-informed opinion is not "questioning".

“If you’re going to say what you want to say, you’re going to hear what you don’t want to hear.”- Roberto Bolaño

Why would you hold an opinion that you admit has no basis in fact in such high regard?
