That's my take too - eliminate the ratio and an incompetent GM will overspend elsewhere.

40 savings - sounds like a Brit doing hockey commentary

Subpar Offensive Lines are a problem on many teams BUT, the most important positions (OT) are being filled with 95% Americans So, to say the OL issues are created by the Canadian ratio, is over-simplifying a complex problem Winnipeg has built an outstanding OL by signing and retaining of THE BEST American Tackles available - while scouting and drafting good Canadians They have a good OL because of the ratio, not in spite of it And, good players are well paid, regardless of nationality.

Negotiations info is not supposed to be in the media...at all.

That posts like his tend to get flooded with comments from people who are anti-mandate, etc.

^^ typical Twitter. I'm sure many of the comments on his post are more of the same...priorities

The flip-flopping on masks led to people only wearing them because they would get a fine otherwise. Just look at how many are no longer wearing them. When I got my second jab, people were lined all the way to the parking lot to get Pfizer, while in the Moderna line there was myself and maybe three other people. These things are not just the result of personal opinion. The media and the messaging had an impact.

My beef with the media and by extension public health, is the way things were reported There was a new Covid study reported in the media literally EVERY DAY Too Much Information - has been a huge problem during the pandemic People started the ignore the Science, because quite frankly, one study or one article often contradicted another one That happened because Science is fluid, which is exactly why not all of it should end up in the media

Absolutely. People would pretend to be horse owners in order to get their hands on it It's also relatively simple to acquire Ivermectin for 'human consumption.' You can order it online without a prescription, if you know where to go And people certainly did that.

You certainly have an idealistic view of Canada. We've had our fair share of violent uprisings, both before and after Confederation. It was the Rebellions of 1837-38, that started the movement towards Responsible Government. Trudeau Sr. said it best: "we are lying next to the big elephant, and can't help but be affected by every twitch and grunt."

Of course people will make up their own Science if the message is not consistent. Look back at March 2020 - everyone followed the rules. Think about why that changed.

Unless this is hyperbole, we have to assume Canada has passed the tipping point as well We are not insulated from any of it

Sandbagging happening around a few homes in this area.

Does someone have an article or explanation for this? How is a Covid infection an accident or the cause of an accident?

A low birth rate should not be a problem in and of itself - it just requires society and government to have a different outlook and plan accordingly But not unlike the climate change issue - the attitude seems to be to mostly do more of the same

It's a tragedy. Not unlike much of what happened to MB seniors - during the pandemic.

That has impacts other than being a positive impact on climate change It will lead to a higher percentage of the population being seniors, and most of the world is not preparing for that Places like Japan are already faced with this issue

If you believe the Jets suck, twitter will reinforce that for you If you believe Covid will kill us all, twitter will reinforce that for you

Like any other social media - it feeds you according to what you retweet or like

^^ It will get him elected as PC leader - but it will not win any elections The prairie landslide strategy - is alive and well

TBH, I hadn't actually looked. I see so few people wearing them in the places I frequent (Petersfield, Selkirk), that I just assumed they were hard to get Most people wear the blue medical mask or a cloth mask

I think we need to consider being open minded enough...to let our brains fall out.

According to Nahanni Fontaine, he should have spent the money on combatting climate change Maybe he should try to sell EVs...or something Considering how many other things she could have said, it's hilarious that she chose that topic

True. And that is really not good news for the food chain.

I don't hunt either, but I think it's good that some people do. The white tails and the honkers no longer have enough predators, and have really adapted to farmland If no one hunts, then those populations will be controlled by disease epidemics or climate factors - which to an extent already happens Just one example: We saw mange run through our local coyote population the past couple winters - I saw one with almost no hair left and literally crying - at our cattle shed Being harvested by a humane hunter or trapper - would have been a much kinder fate
