@covid_parent Why don't we make them wear large red lettered Us for unvaccinated or yellow P - Partial? I mean it is a shame that we can't really alienate them or maybe put them in a group so we can stone them. They just simply shouldn't be allowed to make their own health choices.
@Billius27 As variants become more contagious, less deadly and vaccine protection wanes and because "so and so still got covid even though they always wear a mask" there is naturally a decline to support of these "health" measures. And there's mandate fatigue, plus it is too hot!
@Billius27 A single vote can't represent our hopes and dreams for social, economical and environmental idealism. If we want change you don't wait four years to cast your single ballot.
You let your voice be heard for issues that are important to you regardless of which party is in power.
@Billius27 The voter turn out was crap, but it has been below 50% in recent elections. 2011 was 48% voter turn out.
Although I voted, I honestly think a lot of us are just exhausted and apathy may have more to do with the pandemic than anything.
@joshharrower @GZilney @DFisman That was my understanding of the word gormless. But if I've misused it feel free to enlighten me as to the intentions of someone else's use of the word.
@DFisman Yes, we should protect children (everyone really). Hepatitis/covid connection goes back at least to 2020, but has largely been a footnote.
But you're missing the ability to time travel. The "wanting this to be over" movement is accelerating faster then the ACTUALLY being over
@dodgesroadkill @GZilney @DFisman It wasn't perceived innocence We can't presume that "silence" equals an anti-abortion vote. That's just political grand standing. Showing real positions and facts is what is needed. And, can you send a link showing the Cons that received pro-life money? Can't find it anywhere
@dodgesroadkill @GZilney @DFisman Fair enough that is frightening. And no I don't have my head up my ass, but I was unaware of the anti-abortion lobby money. I have though been focused on issues that are much closer to home. The fires that currently are burning me...like joblessness, disability and food.
@dodgesroadkill @GZilney @DFisman "...Conservatives’ position remains what it has been since the Harper government. Access to abortion was not restricted under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and the Conservative Party will not introduce legislation to reopen the debate” Bergen’s office wrote.
@chicknbell @Billius27 She absolutely does deserve better! The pandemic has disproportionately disadvantaged vulnerable communities such as elderly & those with chronic health conditions. I have RA too & understand the pain & drug shortage impacts. I have no solutions but a great deal of empathy.
