let'snot use Bill Maher as an example of anything but an annoying turd.
And New York has winter weather with Florida in summer.weather.
Stats are clear and even here every summer our numbers go way down. If we.had Arizona Temps year round we would have lower numbers as well

I think the investment will come in terms of applying two-tier healthcare on a scale unseen in Canada since the implementation of public healthcare.
Not that it will be resisted by the public. The public will embrace it because the current system as awash with futility.
That a meager amount of icu beds being occupied could 'collapse the system' being a story for this long all but assures that imho.
It would end public health completely
There are only so many specialized staff to fill.the hospitals and the public hospitals simply couldn't compete with the private aide.
The private side can pay more.as they simply pass.that cost on to the patient
I'd hate to see canada become.like the USA where a credit card is what directs your level of care and people go bankrupt.getting care
There is many frustrating issues with our healthcare system and a generation of starving it if funding has really made it crumble
One of the first priorities must be in the training and recruitment of new staff. Healthcare workers the world over are burnt out and fed up with the low pay for the work and rhe workload. Private or public won't matter if we don't have.any staff to work

I don't believe the restrictions are doing anything measurable at this point, but I guess some people are wary of the government looking like they've totally lost the handle on it. Understandable after two years of public programming on the front. But realistically? Ehhh...
Delta is minuscule now and has all been replaced by omicron from what data I've seen on it, so that's good.
Hospital capacity and icu beds are.still keeping many restrictions and mandates in place for the short term
One thing I believe we can all.agree on is that once this is over we.need to make a big long term investment in our Healthcare.
Health transfers and the feds.share has been decimated the last few decades and that needs to change Pronto
That and Mulurney shouldn't have sold off our own ability to create and produce our own vaccines
The notion that we can depend on other countries for critical items has caused alot of problems as we find out it didn't work that way

And we'll be watching closely, I'm sure. I think it's premature to take all restrictions off, even if Omicron falls off the cliff as delta is still out there
I'd suggest they keep mask and vax passport and begin easing the rest off
I'd support lifting the vax passport shortly BUT it's the one thing that once lifted they would have zero chance of reintroducing if needed
Masking could be lifted once hospitalizations fall below 100 and icu below 10 ..... and a .month later If it holds then lift the last.itme - vax passport

Nothing to say about the strawmen comparing Canada to both Communist and Nazi Germany? That trash isn't even worth the paper to print and wipe my arse with.
I agree on the butt wipe
Yesterday was the international holocaust day of remembrance. At all levels of the Jewish community and the Canadian truck association has asked those making the comparisons to nazis and fascism to stop as they have nothing in common
If the alt right can't respect that then there is no value in debating or even listening to them

Not Hatred. Political criticism and discourse in the public space exactly as you have done.
theo was a hero when bravely speaking publicly on his being a victim of sexual assault as a minor, not to mention his book and the lives he touched....
the hatred and othering I have seen on this board by watchdogs whose job it seems is to constantly push the narrative is gross. And I’m not talking about a altright narrative.
So you want compliance with your view or silence
Got it ....... and won't comply with that nonsense
You need to learn that it's OK to disagree with someone's politics without disliking or hating them
This radicalized view that a.person must100% support someone and everything they say otherwise it's hate ....is right out of the alt right play book

Hadn't seen this but if articulates well my point about radicl8zation of the alt right.
They really believe that anyone Against any of thier opinions is an enemy of the state and a threat
They want to use fear and attacks to silence others
For most of us we can disagree with someone's views without attacking them in such hatred filled ways

Weak.
theo was a hero last year. How about using real discourse rather than clickbait words to articulate ideas... unless you think us Canuck fans are stupid and easily manipulated by repetitive messaging
So you speak for all canucks fans ?
I only commented about theos political based interview .... not him as a person
This alt right mantra of forced compliance with their views ( Fer it all or gainst it all ) is the toxic culture that has lead to radicalized views from.the right that are causing the divisions

the radiclized alt right has that as their top demand - to arrest and remove anyone not supporting thier postion and not from their party of choice. Its the radiclized conservatives who want to over throw the last election by suspending democratic rights
sorry but i cant support the radiclized alt rights demand to suspend democracy and imposte minority rule and order on us

For all you freedom fighters out there
Here is your chance to grow up and take the.ptetend cape off and actually become a freedom fighter
A tip from someone who actually served ...... 0 trades are great for carrier soldiers and rank advancement. Not so great for short timers as.combat trades have limited civilian equivalents until senior ranked.training
Ps if you really want to lead..the way sappers.are always first

No, we wouldn't be in a democracy anymore if we can't follow our own constitutional rules. It means they can do whatever they want, get away with it, and you are ok with that.
For me that's why we have the court which is the cornerstone of democracy
I have no issue with people taking challenges to the courts.
But that comes with a price
File frivolous suits you get to pay the court costs
Lose your case and you must accept it. Don't like the law then vote for someone who will change the law
What we are seeing now is closer to domestic terrorism. People who have decided that simply because they don't like a law.it must be removed and the party in power removed
That is the actual meaning of trynny which we the vast majority are now living thanks to the anti crowd who have decided the politicians elected by the majority of voters must be removed to save us all .... because they said so

This is not the place for that!, as it seems that The Lower mainland is the only part of Canada that is not supporting this.
Find somewhere else in the other 95% of Canada where this is welcomed to post this.
saying the mahority of canada suypports this is absolutly false and on par with QNON type crazy. People absoltuly support truckers but even their own associations have denouced this rally.
My post was of satire - read the last paragraph and stop being so fragile. Surly we can all agree that there is enough Horse crap in Ottawa already !!!!

It will almost certainly mean a settlement agreement. Kane's counsel will argue that the employer created a "poisoned work environment" through their actions, making it impossible for him to return due to lack of the lack of trust.
I have said from the beginning, assuming there isn't some sort of fraud on Kane's part about crossing the border illegally (in a similar way to his fake proof of vaccination suspension), San Jose is likely going to get ripped apart in arbitration. They will end up owing at least an amount equal to his remainder of his contract minus what it can be expected for him to earn for that duration on a new contract. San Jose would have to take that deal and run if they can get Kane to agree to forego any lawsuits that could result in punitive damages on top of that. What player in league history has had a $22 million dollar contract torn up unilaterally for a breach of a team policy like travel? There have been many instances of players with serious criminal offences who got significantly lesser punishment. San Jose is WAY out on a limb if they don't have some sort of rock solid proof of their case.
The interesting part will be if the league lets San Jose out of the cap hit. They have to be careful to also not be culpable and face lawsuits. They are currently denying him a right to make a living, and their investigation has been going on quite a while. If they let San Jose off the hook with the cap hit, it also shows they are siding with San Jose against the player even absent any evidence. It should be pretty cut and dried with evidence form either side, either he fraudulently entered Canada or not. If they don't find anything in their investigation and San Jose loses their arb case... Kane's lawyers can go on the warpath. Throw in the fact it is a league with a history of racial concerns with black players and one of the highest profile black players gets a punishment greater than any other player has ever gotten that is found to be unjust?
Again, this is all assuming there isn't evidence showing that the team explicitly told Kane he wasn't allowed to travel, that he would be terminated if he did it anyways, and he told them to pound sand and then travelled across the border using fraudulent means. Kane is a dummy so that evidence could exist, the longer this goes the less likely that seems though.
I don't think they can do any settlement agreements as they have binding cap language that impacts other teams
Also they don't have to dig jnto allegations of a toxic work environment etc.
Any team can cut and discharge any player they want. The ruling will be if the sharks can cancel outright ( just cause) yes or no
There is no middle ground
If yes kanes done
If no then the contract provisions for payout and cap hit is applied

I'm guessing this means that the investigation isn't going to lead to too much of a punishment for Kane.
I'm very confused on how this will all work out if the NHLPA wins its grievance and succeeds in having Kane's contract termination overturned. Because that would mean he'd be under contract with 2 NHL teams at the same time.
I'd suspect that the ruling if he wins wouldn't change that they terminated his contract .... rather it would force them to pay out the contract and take.the cap.hit (.sharks.that is )
No arbitrator can force a team to take.back a player ..... just they can decide how the contract ends

He is fully vaxxed so his comments are about asymptomatic isolation requirements when in a fully vaxxed inviroment
nothing to do with your narritve and in my view is slanderous to the team to imply this issue is related to your issue
