"It doesn't make any sense," said Dr. Glen Drobot, who works in internal medicine at St. Boniface and Grace hospitals. "I fear we're going to be entering into a fourth wave that will be similar to the third wave." "Not every jurisdiction is, has got the same epidemiology, not every jurisdiction is in the same place. We're in a good place right now — and yahoo to that," Pallister said. Yahoo is right. Just like the yahoos when we somehow escaped the first three waves of Covid despite experts saying we would eventually get hit. Let's hope this is our government's final victory lap over Covid. They even suggested some unvaxxed will now want to get vaccinated because they are no longer protected by public health measures.

Not only that, but the ability to transmit even while vaccinated will mean I'll be out for any entertainment, restaurants, etc. for quite a while yet. Had to know the trigger finger was itching though

Agreed. I fear I will be telling my son about how the world used to be and he will never know the childhood I did. But hey, let's keep focused on "net-zero" for 2050 🙄

He's got a little bit of that Trump blurring the lines between public funds / personal and private interest. I'm especially unhappy with the $150,000 of public funds spent on bill 64 propaganda promotion. I guess that's what called for when you have a "vocal minority" that oppose the bill. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/under-pressure-province-spends-in-defence-of-bill-64-574887232.html

A part of me hopes that we see the surge in AB/SK earlier rather than later. PCs really needs something concrete, happening right now, to dissuade him from following the leader. So far, unless its happening in MB, we seem to think we're immune to what happens elsewhere. I don't have too much of a problem with loosening some restrictions for vaccinated individuals, but unvaxxed need to be prevented from ruining things for others. Especially for kids and immunocompromised.

If I owned a bar, I'd definitely have a trough in the men's bathroom. Wonder if the trough was just a Winnipeg thing or was/is around in other places.

Links added. Let me know if any of the links are incorrect or not working and I'll try to update them. I'll add any new ones I find or come in through this thread as well as updating the game in 40s to the full game if they are found.

Wonder if there's any chance that some dumb shits finally get vaccinated when they see the prospect of another lockdown. Hoping this will cause MB to remain strong or get even stronger on privileges for vaccinated only. We have a really hard time learning from the mistakes of others though - not hopeful.

I think it adds to the story of the season. Some of the struggles, blown leads makes the successes that much better. I know in the WF against Sask memories of blowing sure wins earlier in the season kept nagging on me. It made the eventual win that much more enjoyable. If anyone would like, I could share the links I have in the original post if that's cool with the mods.

Not sure if I should create a new topic, so feel free to merge where appropriate. I am looking to complete my YouTube playlist of the games of the 2019 season and wondering if anyone can help, whether on YouTube or another source. Here's what I have: 1 - Wpg @ BC - Here 2 - BYE 3 - Edm @ Wpg - Here 4 - Wpg @ Ott - Here 5 - Tor @ Wpg - Here 6 - Ott @ Wpg - Here 7 - Wpg @ Ham - Here 8 - Wpg @ Tor - MISS Game in 40 9 - Cgy @ Wpg - Here 10 - BC @ Wpg -MISS 11 - Wpg @ Edm -MISS 12 - Wpg @ Ssk - MISS 13 - Ssk @ Wpg - MISS 14 - BYE 15 - Wpg @ Mtl - MISS Game in 40 16 - Ham @ Wpg - MISS 17 - Wpg @ Ssk - MISS 18 - Mtl @ Wpg - Here 19 - Wpg @ Cgy - Here 20 - Cgy @ Wpg - MISS WSF - Wpg @ Cgy - MISS - Game in 40 WF - Wpg @ Ssk - Here GC - Ham @ Wpg - Here (Thanks Bigblue204) I had more, but apparently they were taken down. Not really a fan of the CFL "Game in 40", but I may have to resort to including those. CFL really needs to capitalize on previous seasons/memorable moments. I'm sure there'd be people willing to pay for online access to full games/seasons. No spoilers, I hear the season finale has a surprise ending.

For the most part really dumb people who seem to have zero ability to think logically - "quarantine the sick, not the health". But for the real loud ringleaders like this guy, I'm also concerned about mental instability.

Tagging the Bombers in his post is a great way for word to get out. This guy is clearly a genius.

All this talk about Nichols/Lapo has me absolutely pumped to play them this year. As a matter of fact, I'll go circle the date on my calendar right now....

Too broad of a brush stroke. Like all vaccinations, there are unfortunately some people who are vulnerable, yet cannot be vaccinated. There are kids who are not eligible and won't be for a while too. A small minority of those with the vaccinations will have "breakthrough" cases, but I'm not sure what percent of the small percentage get negative effects more than a bad cold. Its people like this that the anti-vaxxers don't give a sh-- about. I don't think its 100% accurate, but I do like the term "The Darwin Wave"

I feel bad that we have systems of power and education that allow so many of these beliefs to be held. This should be viewed as people slipping through the cracks and not having a sufficient level of critical thinking ability. As much as individuals professing crazy, society-harming beliefs pisses me off, the systems that allow so many people to have these views needs to be examined. Its a low bar, but surpassing the US in vaccination rates despite more supply issues says something about our education system and other power dynamics that exist. That we haven't got 80% of eligible people in the province a vaccine after over a year of having Covid.... I could imagine it if we said that the threat was coming, but we've already lived it. I guess going through restrictions, masking, etc. hasn't been so bad for the anti-mask/restrictions crowd that has disregarded public health measures.

Hopefully there's a record somehow tied to the ID she needed to produce. And hopefully, eventually, she will be able to produce evidence of it or something equal to a vax card. On the plus side, we got my son's birth certificate today and he's now a Canadian citizen, even though he was born at St. B. So at least he should be entitled to public health care too. My wife and son have not been able to be added to my private blue cross through work either because she does not have a MB health card.

International students are not eligible to get vax cards, or health care for that matter. Still facing $6000+ in hospital bills for the birth of my son. This despite having $1000/yr mandatory private health insurance. 😒PCs took away ability for intl' students to have MB Health cards and vax cards go through that.

I would generally agree with this. Though my wife, despite being fully vaccinated and 2 weeks past her 2nd vax, can't get a card. (International students aren't quite considered people in PC MB). I would totally loan my card to someone in this predicament, though I'd hope it isn't possible to loan cards in the first place.

We also have a policy of only allowing those fully vaccinated with proof, while I believe Saskie is wide open to anybody regardless of vax status. I wonder how many people that would normally attend won't because they aren't vaccinated. Would also be interesting to know how many in Sask won't attend because they are totally open to non-vaxxers.

I remember hearing Milt talk about the play and how he got so excited when he saw cover 0. I remember that night my dad went to bed and I was watching the rest wondering if I should stop wasting my time watching the game. Glad I didn't follow my dad's lead that time. Wish he was awake so I could have shared that moment with him. Likely because of that moment, and another where Westy hit a 50+ yarder at the end, I don't give up on games.

That's somewhere close to where I draw the line. Preventing them from going into stores is pretty iffy though. Basically saying you can not shop for personal needs is probably to restrictive from my perspective. Preventing restaurants altogether I'd be okay with and other luxuries, but they need to have access to the necessities of life. There's curbside pickup available, but there's also people that have a difficult time ordering online or doing curbside pickup. Requiring masks for all in essential businesses is a fair compromise for me.

I understand that argument. A mass of ignorant people not getting the vaccine will lead to people dying and not necessarily those who refused the vaccine. Not to mention a prolonged pandemic for everyone and businesses being hurt. But taking away a right for people to choose a vaccine or not is kind of a big deal and would be pretty unenforceable. Would they physically force people to be vaccinated? Choose vaccination or prison? I think restricting a lot of activities that put others at risk is a good middle ground.

Even as someone fairly dependent on others being vaccinated, I support the right of people to choose vaccination or not. It would be great if we could get 90%+ and likely get back to a pretty normal life, but people should have the right to choose. If you choose not to get the vaccine, then not being able to enjoy some of the freedoms as those vaccinated also makes sense. I think our current government may be the worst in Canada in my memory, with the possible exception of the incredibly low bar Kenney gov't, but they are doing fairly well balancing on this issue. I'm hoping they can keep more things restricted to those that are vaccinated only, but that may be tough when the two governments to the west of us are not doing the same.
