Funny thing about lying liars and their lies. They never seem to get far. At least Donnie still has one liar still working for him. I wonder who is paying her?

That's amazing Ron. I can just picture you in your lookout tower on the top of the hill. Gazing out at China and Venezuela. Just like Sarah Palin watching the Russians from her home town in Alaska. Keep up the good work watchman.

Done. No need to stop recognizing the strange world of the far north.

It's not the delivery. It's the message. You have to be selling what they want. You know, like a wall to keep out the murders rapists and drug dealers.

Ron will merely tell you "get thee hence to endless night Satan".

Yes

Personally my respect for posters who don't want to ID themselves but do want to be loud and heard is fairly low. Not zero, but low. I suspect that a few have professional reasons for wanting anonymity, but mostly they are just ashamed to be known for what they say. And mostly their shame is well grounded.

A Google image search turns up few copycats in Ontario.

They have honest lawyers in bars there? What about barristers and solicitors?

Yes, I see that your post is deleted but mine is not. I have put in a request for deletion.

Most often Crown Royal that I buy cheap at the duty free then bring it to Gimli so I can pass it around 2 miles from where it was distilled. Or parachute parts that I pick up at a parcel service to save on shipping and taxes.

Back in June when we could count daily new cases on the fingers of one hand, and sometimes no fingers, there were 2 or 3 cases traced back to long distance cross border trucking. But what really started us going with larger numbers is when some Hutterites from colonies with leaders who choose to believe that the lord will take care or them decided to attend a very large funeral in Alberta. It quickly spread to many colonies and into some of the Mennonite community as well. That seems to have seeded us and then complacency and younger people being tired of no parties spread it. Steinbach is still a hot spot and it will be the site of a "anti-mask" demonstration tomorrow. Led of course by a pastor who is infuriated by the new orders forcing churches to close their doors. Steinbach is the capitol of the Mennonite religion in Manitoba and possibly Canada. And it is currently the Covid capital of Canada as well. Another reason I have no respect for religious leaders.

Agreed. The US is capable of looking after most covid patients at this level of infections. As is Canada with ours. It isn't actually high tech medicine for the most part. If one or the other healthcare systems begin faltering at this it will be because it will have become over whelmed by too many cases. Which is likely to happen at least locally in some places soon.

Three kinds of lies. Lies, damned lies, and worst of all statistics. The best place for info on worldwide COVID-19 numbers is here. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 The Johns Hopkins page. And it has been my go to since the beginning. Case fatalities? death rates? whatever. The bottom line is the US seems to have 244K deaths and Canada a little less than 11K. With roughly a 1/10 the population. Canada is doing poorly, the US is doing twice as poorly. The difference in the case fatality rate is most likely due to the ages of the people getting sick. The US is allowing it to run rampantly through the young population. But it isn't really a contest.

Hard to say. I don't really know anything about him except that he flies a Canadian flag. He may actually be an igloo mate or from my village, but I'm not sure. I'll ask around at the snowmobile dealer if anyone has heard trash talk about me.

The joke's on you Joe. We are pretty much in agreement on this one.

We are doing far worse than Ontario here. Doug Ford has been a better leader than any of the western premiers. We have been announcing about 400 new cases a day lately with about a tenth the population of Ontario. Ford may be conservative, but Pallister is an idealouge. Nothing matters to him but lower taxes and the economy. Ontario is now recruiting nurses from here because of the funding cutbacks.

Generations don't perform actions. Individuals do.

The reason has nothing to do with standards. The lawyers don't want to work for free. They want clients who pay the bills.

I give up. Do tell me.

It's not going much better here in Canada with 35 million. Although parts of the country with less right wing governments seem to be doing a lot better. It seems like "freedom to infect" is a real thing in some minds.

Yes, he is in no way a moderate. He just hates Trump like I'm sure many GOP officials do. But he has never been elected and he is never going to stand for election. Therefore he has no reason to fear Trump. It's easy to be brave when you have nothing to lose.
-
Moderate Republican? John Bolton? I love your use of irony here!
-
For crying out loud. It doesn’t take specially fitted masks or any high tech filters to slow and stop the friggen virus. It takes a disciplined and careful society with people who can be counted on to do their part. Nothing more and China has proven it.

I was in MN, ND, WI, and MI last week. Almost no one wearing masks. MSM needs to do an expose on just what is going on in those shacks.
