Pretty sexist for @IIHFHockey to cancel women’s world hockey championship but not the mens that starts 6 days before January. Nice technicality that allows the more lucrative tournament to continue and still appear as they are addressing the omicron virus. #womenshockeymatters
Due to ongoing concerns regarding the spread of the Omicron variant, The IIHF Council has made the difficult decision to cancel all tournaments scheduled for January 2022.

@RonMacLeanHTH did I catch your comment correctly ? Did you just say Canada just passed US for 1st dose Vaccines? If so you are incorrect we are behind in both first dose and fully vaccinated
@StephenLDuff @rbegg @StrangRobert @StrangRobert has actually stated he wants 85% rate in NS. Higher than 75% Government of Canada requirement. Which is feels is too low. He didn’t quote any actual science for justification.
@WhoisAlexFox@sagilla@DavidpSchofield @strangemma__ This is not a communist country. In Canada government restricting the use of your personal property should be viewed with concern. Why do you think people from China and Russia are buying property here. Btw I do not own a second property.
Enough Covid talk and arguments /discussion. Leafs @MapleLeafs vs Habs @CanadiensMTL on now. It’s been since Pre-covid 1979 that we have seen this. #enjoy#GoLeafsGo
@dmccoombs@DonMillsHFX@nshealth @StrangRobert @IainTRankin@HIAACEO And if they don’t think they are infected and go to a wedding instead of 14 day quarantine ? How is that any different? At least if someone is found to be positive they could be monitored/tracked.
@Licaso27 @DonMillsHFX@nshealth @StrangRobert @IainTRankin@HIAACEO So if tests aren’t effective, why have they popped up everywhere ? If someone was told “you are positive” you would most likely make different decisions.
@TheRealLynn @strangemma__ The privileged people who have jobs are the ones that took away the jobs of the ones who don’t. How come I can get my teeth cleaned (dentist - privileged) but not get a haircut (small business owner - unprivileged I guess)
@IainTRankin As @widela32 said you should have had that plan in place before. Why can I get my teeth cleaned but not get a haircut? How is it fair that you and other government employees, who are making the rules and still getting paid, decide who can get paid and who can’t.
@Tim_Bousquet Privileged? 7% of ppl have second homes in Atlantic Canada according to stats Can. 35% of working population in NS are part of Pension plans (most the Deluxe Government ones). They, like Big Corporations (Costco Walmart)are still are getting paid unlike small business owners
Why are the NS teacher cuts that teachers told students about today not anywhere to be found on the major Halifax/NS news outlets? @CTVAtlantic@CBCNS@globalhalifax There are important things going on (or unfortunately not going on) besides Covid-19
These are the numbers we need to start focusing more on than daily cases. This is what will allow us to get back to doing what we would rather be doing.
