I jumped about 15 pages so not sure if this was mentioned, but I heard some guy on the radio claiming his car was keyed by Kenora residents because he was visiting from Manitoba. I'd like to add 'Warriors-esque cottage country turf wars' to my 2020 Apocalypse Bingo card please.

Whoa

If we're having a Canadian comedy love-in here I'm hitching my wagon to Kids in the Hall. Funny to this day

Back in like 1999 or so my dad and I (both Mikes) took our picture next to the Canmore road sign. He still laughs about it like it's the funniest thing ever. Dad jokes jeez

Woman with lupus took hydroxychloroquine for 19 years, still got COVID-19

Seen on reddit, thought I'd share:

Limited numbers of fans could enter draws to be on-hand emergency backups for every game. Who wants to see an eleven year old kid with MS playing Right Guard? I can't be the only one

Show yourself out sir

Stavros Katsontonis? I'm watching his live stream right now on youtube https://youtu.be/OOOaYMSp1_M

Agreed... they're just missing one thing still excellent

I enjoyed this, starts around 30 seconds in:

Crab Rangoon and I'm out

No joke, strippers in the states are doing food deliveries with a $30 up charge and it's called 'Boober Eats'

The article says the property has 4 buildings. Supposedly the place is a firetrap. $3mil alone to remove clapboard, insulation, replace windows, and reinforce the foundation. Repairs that could or should have been done sooner but were put off by previous administrations that did not want to appear as spendthrifts. The political optics of this are obviously not great on the surface, and because of that I believe the repairs must be critical; surely if Trudeau could put it off til COVID is largely resolved he would. Wish I had 3mil or 9mil or whatever to spend on my less-than-historic but equally run-down St James bungalow

If staying indoors for a couple months causes us to kill ourselves and others in numbers that make a deadly novel virus look like 'spit in a bucket' then we aren't worth saving.

It does terminate pregnancies, yes. COVID on the other hand kills born people (they matter too, after all), and you can't abort people by coughing on them or ignoring social distancing guidelines. False equivalency.

Silly girl. Major false equivalency. Abortion rights protect the woman, the individual; social distancing and vaccination protects the public at large. In summary, swing and miss. Cute though, I'd debate with her for hours.

Lead in the water for 6 years and counting? Liberal propaganda, leave the guns at home Doctors and nurses treating the sick? Fire up the truck and brush yer mullets boys, we're off to fix America

Proud boys in Michigan waving guns and Confederate flags, clogging roads leading to hospitals and blocking ambulances from hospital ramps is just about the most indefensible thing I've heard of so far. The 5G people are crazy, these people are just despicable. https://www.michiganadvance.com/2020/04/15/whitmer-stay-home-order-protest-turns-into-trump-celebration-with-confederate-flags-and-guns/

The new orders build on the current orders, and maintain the gathering size of no more than 10 people at any indoor or outdoor premises. Additional updates include: - garden centres and greenhouses can operate, providing social distancing measures are in place https://news.gov.mb.ca/news/?archive=&item=47544 You get a petunia! And YOU get a petunia! EVERYBODY GETS PETUNIAAAAAAS

Those 2%-3% of children are no doubt patriots willing to sacrifice their lives for a strong economy

Gardeners, greenhouse and tree nursery workers come to mind... for some reason lawn care and arboriculture is deemed essential, as are some garden supply retailers and commercial landscapers... yet a vital part of the supply chain - the very people who buy the most from garden suppliers, and the people who grow the plants landscapers install and garden centers sell - are told to stay home when they should be ramping up staffing and production. There is about an 8 week window of opportunity for greenhouses to turn out plants and fulfill orders at the same time gardeners and landscapers install plants, many of which they already paid for last season when they accepted contracts and placed their orders with greenhouses! An entire industry still awaiting it's fate, and growing/planting season can't be put off til later; any decision made now will impact the entire year (and subsequently next year). Obviously the same can be said for many industries, but with the flick of a pen this one may yet be saved. https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/we-re-all-just-hoping-to-survive-greenhouse-and-nursery-industry-asks-to-be-considered-essential-service-1.4880807

I like the UN on paper; Canada's legacy as a peace keeping nation was a great source of national pride as a youngster. Sadly, the UN is toothless when it comes to things like this... a stern finger wagging accomplishes nothing in the face of tight-lipped (or brain-dead) governments. Where is Batman crossing international borders to commit espionage for the greater good when you need him?

They are an agency of the United Nations, with over 190 countries as member states, each with their own delegates. The idea is to pool knowledge and expertise, share information and collaborate towards common goals. I'm not sure it's about authority to demand information so much as an expectation to receive information, and accurate information at that. The WHO is not without controversy, and like any government agency they are only as good as the people that run them, but member states need to play their parts and be forthcoming with their statistics rather than trying to save face by fudging numbers

Horse meatballs then. They're actually very tasty
