  1. It's gross that people go scouring the internet for garbage like the above post. It's almost as creepy as what they are trying project on to Biden. In case any one needs help still, after all this time, Trump is the worst and Biden is a million times better. What is sad is the dems could have found candidates a billion times better than Donny but they settled on Biden. Still, I think Uncle Joe just might be able to do it.
  2. Makes sense to me that it is currently banned. Imagine how much spittle goes flying everywhere!
  3. This isn't about house paint or motor boating. I believe the pressure and fears about the economy they have, that's a concern everywhere. But this is political. Trumpers being covidiots because Whtimer may get the VP job with Joe.
  4. What is going on there? As your other post suggests, Florida is letting the tight wearing - steroid using - pretend fighting cuddle circus to continue under an essential services banner. When Dana White says something, there isn't a grain of salt big enough to digest it usually. I doubt May 9th happens.
  5. I know it's old but the below example reminds me of exactly what you are pointing out. Trump says if he ends up being wrong about Kim Jong Un, he probably won't admit it and will find 'some kind of an excuse' https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-says-if-hell-find-an-excuse-if-hes-wrong-about-kim-jong-un-2018-6
  6. Oh boy, I've been thinking about those people. I know you live nearby. Those that don't see the DTES you wouldn't grasp how many folk hang on the street. Pigeon Park, Hastings up to Main and Oppenheimer. Covid could run riot.
  7. I don't know anything about Dr Shiva. The quick piece I read said that he is proposing treatment for covid is vitamins he's an anti-vaxxor and goes on about deep state big pharma control stuff? It may be perceived that spreading this type of info is dangerous. Suggesting unproven remedies and making people fear the government could be an ugly combination.
  8. You're asking for too much. He's addicted to the media...what's that term?..'they live rent free' ..he has 'msm derangement syndrome' They should stop feeding the troll he is.
  9. He sure is more palatable these days ain't he?
  10. I heard he is at 74% approval right now. People love him, it's not surprising if you find a lot that are defensive
  11. CTV is running a story about people upset having to delay in-vitro fertilization due to covid. I'll call myself out and say that I don't give AF. The planet has too many people, start the process to adopt a child if you can't wait till this is over.
  12. I've said it before but I'm convinced they are room mates. Like a grumpy Burt and Ernie or maybe Statler and Waldorf? I like to picture them only owning one computer so they sit fuming waiting for the other to post until they can jump on and provide their rebuttal. . I really enjoy the interaction though, it wouldn't be cdc without it.
  13. For some reason I felt like posting that politicians act different than the rest of us. Scheer and family joined other MPs on packed flight to Ottawa, ignoring social distancing rules https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/challenger-flight-may-scheer-qualtrough-1.5530542
  14. I know. When I think of the ports the only thing that ticks me off is the low rate of inspections on the millions of containers that come in. Same thing at the Delta port..I think it is down around the 1% range. Is it any wonder that there are massive drug problems in the DTES?
  15. I dunno Toronto and London I suppose as I am familiar with those two being a Brit/Can dual. And really I was just agreeing with you cause everyone moans about Vancouver being expensive. IMO it's worth it. I love it that much and wouldn't live anywhere else but Canada. I don't want to do the bash Vancouver game with you. Please find another dance partner if that's your gig.
  16. Speaking of speedy testing... Quick, portable COVID-19 test kits approved for use Social Sharing https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/spartan-covid19-test-kit-new-1.5530669 Ottawa-based Spartan Bioscience has developed a coffee cup-sized rapid-testing device for COVID-19.
  17. I'm a fan of martial arts. I was going to post this in the MMA thread but it makes more sense here. Only 48, a great photographer. The article has one of my fav iconic photos taken after TJ Dillashaw knocked out Cody Garbrandt MMA photographer Anthony Causi dies at 48 from coronavirus https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/ufc/mma-photographer-anthony-causi-dies-at-48-from-coronavirus/
  18. I never said Van was an economic hub and those cities are not located in Canada. So, I don't care about them I was invested in Vancouver real estate for 22 years. I made a lot of profit and would consider investing there again in the future.
  19. I know they won't. I just was spit balling and thinking that now is the time to use that equity to fix a few of their problems. Do they need 7.9 bil in assets? You're right, it's not just the low income renters that need a hand. If nothing more, maybe that can speed up the development permits and cut some costs to motivate the developers.
  20. Yeah, I'm 'working' Built this in the last 3 days. However, the 'honey do' list does not pay the bills!
  21. I love that city. Yeah, it's over priced but so are a lot of the top cities. I only kinda feel bad for the young people. That's because I'm from an immigrant family that moved because my dad saw no future for his children where we were.
  22. Update from across the pond. Mum's step brother Jack is doing better, symptoms are going away. His best friend is also on the mend, however that mans wife is not. Still in the induced coma and things don't look good. Kidney's are failing.. A sad related affect of covid is diminishing health care support. My Aunt was just diagnosed just last week with an aggressive form of breast cancer. They have told her she has less than 3 months unless she gets emergency surgery. It was scheduled for yesterday but was postponed due to the surgeon not having the team he needed show up. They are so stretched thin needing all hands on deck for covid. My aunt is 78 so she is low priority. We're scrambling to try to look at a private option for her.
  23. I suggested that because I dont know what the market is at for expensive land. That and if you want to try to force developers to build low income I would have thought they would need some sort of deal on the prices.
  24. oh I know. but it's much needed and this bankruptcy fear would give the city an excuse to shed some assets
  25. A friend of mine did that to his old G-wagon years back. Smelled like french fries.
