The Russians don't even have to try anymore. The Right is just a big group of morons, who will believe anything Putin tells them. 

I think it has become far more generalized than that- they are so rigid in their ideations that they will eagerly accept anything, no matter how outrageous or stupid, so long as it confirms their belief system.

1. This is one big government cover up - they are going to great lengths to keep us all in the dark.

2. Some guy on youtube knows all about it.

Snapshot of the Canadian Prairies…

 

Saskatoon Hotel, must book 1hr time slot for pool, only 2 families at a time. 
Breakfast, ask at a window and they bring you your food  

Drumheller hotel, pool doesn’t require bookings, likely over pre-covid capacity and people not minding anyone’s personal space. 
Breakfast, old style breakfast buffet, massive line up for hot food, only difference no make your own waffles and they stood behind the hot table serving you. 
 

Glad to be out of that province. 
 

Oh, Manitoba has the cheapest gas of all three right now.

'No doubt' Canada now in 4th wave of COVID-19 as cases spike across much of the country

There is growing concern about a fourth wave of COVID-19 as cases start to climb again across much of Canada, with the increase being overwhelmingly driven by unvaccinated people in western provinces. 


With COVID-19 cases rising in multiple provinces after a summer lull, more signs point to Canada entering an expected fourth wave of the pandemic — one which could be dramatically different from earlier surges, thanks to rising vaccination rates, but not entirely pain-free.

The country's seven-day average for new daily cases is now close to 1,300 — an increase of nearly 60 per cent over the previous week, with cases ticking back up mainly in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec.

"We're absolutely in the fourth wave," said Dr. Peter Juni, who is the scientific director of Ontario's COVID-19 Science Advisory Table. "There's no doubt about that."

But unlike previous waves, which overwhelmed various hospital systems and led to catastrophic death in long-term care facilities, there is hope this spike won't be quite so dire.

High vaccination uptake across the country has changed the game: Roughly 60 per cent of Canadians are now fully vaccinated, and research continues to show leading vaccines offer high levels of protection from serious illness, even against the fast-spreading delta variant.
"We can effectively have more cases in our population without having as severe an impact on our health-care system," explained Ashleigh Tuite, an epidemiologist with the University of Toronto's Dalla Lana School of Public Health. "But that doesn't mean that we're out of the woods."

Multiple experts who spoke to CBC News stressed the need to keep precautions like mask-wearing in place to avoid the worst of what this wave could bring, while also striving to ensure as many Canadians as possible get their shots.

"The point is we can't go back to normal," said Juni. "Because we continue to have a challenge with the large proportion of people who remain unvaccinated."

(You may notice that he did not use the word "idiots" instead of "people".)
