While the Minister of Health, she distanced herself from Covid (re: any responsibility).

They seriously need to consider regional measures for places like the Bible Belt in the South.  The pandemic is almost 2 years old, vaccines have been administered since December 2020(!) and some people still choose to endanger others.

Time to stop coddling the fools.  If Manitoba can lead on Vaccine Passports, they can lead on this as well.

It would be tricky to do. It's a big district with RMs like the one I'm in that are right up to snuff with the rest  of the province. I guess you  could do it by RM and Cities. It would be like targeting St .Boniface.( just an example ) Tough to do and I'm not sure it would work. An example is to look at the different vaccination rates of Morden and Winkler. 7 miles apart driving, but completely different vaccination rates.  I would really really like them to crack down on enforcement in specific areas of Southern Health.That wouldn't be hard and I believe it would be effective. I share your sentiment though. Its sickening.

I'll tell a story without names for privacy purposes but my sister lives overseas with her bf outside of London England.  

So My sisters BF family is all vaxxed... however the bfs dad isn't as he said no thanks even with everyone else getting there's and he's also almost 80. 

So they go on a family trip from England to Spain... a few days b4 they scheduled to leave Spain and return  the dad comes down with symptoms... goes to hospital... he has covid..  everyone close to him aka his family get tested... negative. His dad right now is still in Spain... in hospital in icu on ventilation but doing OK.. perhaps worst is over for him luckily. Sisters BFs friend was 38 and got covid tho and died.

Interesting disease

Her chances are slim since the ppl who she's appealing to are a minority group of individuals In MB 

I think Stefanson a lock. We don't vote. They do. They want to win the next provincial election.. you need a majority not highway 3 farmland

Oh, yeah, the fix was in the whole time. That's why it was a short campaign and a high pay-to-play entry fee. BP picked Heather, despite her poor performance, because she was the best out of a sad, sad lot.

It's really that simple lol 

They need Winnipeg next provincial election.  Winnipeg is good with the mask stuff now so much so that ppl bitched and still wore them when they weren't mandatory for 2 weeks lol 

Glover is a duck.. quack quack quack

Unless he weaseled his way in as leader of the Conservatives. I'd prefer he just disappears with epitaph of the Premier who failed the worst during the pandemic.

If somehow he managed to become leader of the Tories, the Liberals would be overjoyed. Kenny has neither wit nor wisdom and would doom the Tories to another ten years in the wilderness.

There is an interesting storm brewing in the police and fire departments in Winnipeg with Bowman's edict that all civic employees who interact with the public will be required to be double-vaccinated or be tested weekly. The EMTs and most, if not all employees will have no problem with this, but, given the macho attitudes of many in police and fire departments, I can foresee a lot of resistance or even defiance there. The union will have a hard time defending the resistance but may be forced to do so. The best they can hope is to delay the enforcement, allowing the resistors to continue unvaccinated until the pandemic passes.

Perfect opportunity to clear both of their white supremacists.

Simple indeed. %80 of the province is vaxed.  If you want to win an election your position on vaccinations and masking needs to reflect that. Plain and simple.

Getting scary again.

[WildPath]

30 cases in the southern health region, 26 in Winnipeg. It would be really interesting to know how Manitoba would be faring if we didn't have to contend with Southern health. Surely the southern cases are underrepresented. Roussin and other health experts have said multiple times that pockets of unvaccinated people will threaten anything close to herd immunity.

Anti-Mask Florida Official Dies of COVID—and Takes GOP Software Secrets With Him

Just a day after testing positive for COVID-19, a Florida Republican official who battled against mask mandates, attacked the vaccine, and railed at CDC officials has died in Tampa.

Gregg Prentice, who was 61, led the Hillsborough County Election Integrity Committee—and his sudden death has sent the local GOP scrambling as it no longer has access to essential campaign finance software without his help.

In a Sept. 14 letter to the Federal Election Commission, the Hillsborough County Republican Executive Committee reported it might not be able to file its monthly financial reports as required—because only Prentice knew how to do it.

“Gregg’s software converted data from our Quickbooks software to supply the information needed by the FEC,” it states. “Unfortunately, Gregg passed away suddenly from Covid-19 on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021. Gregg did not share the software and instructions with our officers. We will have to enter the August data manually, and according to the information we have received from our FEC analyst, Scott Bennett, we may likely have to re-enter the data from our first 7 months of 2021.

“We will be struggling to get all of this entered in the proper format by our deadline on Sept. 20, but we will try to do so with our best effort.”

Along with others in the Hillsborough County Election Integrity Committee, Prentice was a vociferous critic of the vaccine, mask mandates, and COVID-prevention measures. He railed against top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, vowing in a Twitter post to “end Faucism.” He also insisted the U.S. needs “more socialist distancing than we do social distancing” and that the pandemic was created to destroy small businesses.

A spokesperson for the Hillsborough Republican Executive Committee has reportedly said that Prentice’s wife and daughter have also caught COVID-19.
