Grapefruits Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 53 minutes ago, I.Am.Ironman said: The difference is that the Trudeau family was probably all tested prior to the gathering, not that that makes it right. It was no doubt a short sighted move from a political POV and is hypocritical of the gov's message but in reality they wouldn't have met without the reassurance that they were all negative, a luxury we don't have. The danger is in the movement of the populace, not an isolated (likely pre tested) family. The optics are bad though. So do as I say not as I do. Got it. No worries though, he probably took all the precautions. 49 minutes ago, Ryan Strome said: It's getting to the point where you can't even have a discussion with Trudeau supporters without the blatant hypocrisy. You can't even reason with some. I have friends that are having meltdowns because people are leaving the house. I went for a drive the other day. One friend flipped out saying I was selfish and was risking peoples lives. Apparently we are no longer friends. The fear mongering is real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spur1 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 2 hours ago, Ryan Strome said: Actually there is a few stories on it. Canadas top doctor told Canadians not to head to their cottages. Pretty ridiculous, brings his whole family on a plane funded by tax payers during a pandemic no less. Canada's top doctor told Canadians not to. Actually it's not just opinion pieces. Trudeau and Scheer, do as we say not as we do. Honestly it's not a big deal to me but I can certainly understand why people get annoyed with politcians/government. What can you say...ok millennials.

kingofsurrey Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 JT drove 30 minutes to his cottage.... Pretty sure he could do it with no stops. Relax people. I can see restrictions here in BC being slowly relaxed... probably starting in early May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coho8888 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 1 hour ago, Ryan Strome said: The Alberta government said things will remain the same until at least the end of May. I called the city today to ask if confederation park was open, it was they said just practice social distancing. Admittedly I haven't been out much, just drinking instead. Let me tell you there was a few people completely oblivious and walk right next to you. Confed park in Burnaby? Whenever I go there, I go late and avoid the track. I don't get within 50 feet of anyone. Too many runners and joggers. Today from a distance I saw a family of 5 walking all spread out on the track the opposite way. One of the kids almost bumped into another walker. Its stuff like that which gets parks close. If your kids cannot stay stop running around out of control, don't bring them.

Don't worry, when they say eventually we'll get back to normal, that will too. But for those of us that are left of the right of centre, at least as far as Doug Ford goes, we'll always have the pandemic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're also anti-Trudeau to begin with so there's probably not even a point in arguing with you as we'd be at an impass. I'd rather just focus on the more important things.... like the coronavirus! Did you know there's a epidemic happening? Seems like a really long movie though. I thought it would end after an hour but it won't turn off for some reason.
