@Dean_Winnipeg .one could pretty much make an argument that this is still true. I bet the majority of Canadians are still buying tax-free. much like the availability of tax-free FN smokes has never been better. Thanks Trudeau!

@pamshaw2 @klaszus Quite being the operative word

@john322um @kylegriffin1 No? Hmmmm.

@john322um @kylegriffin1 I'm a Canadian. I just find it comical that Americans lose their shit over every last thing Dumbo does or says, even when he's right. You folks are screwed.

If Kenney really wanted to troll the NDP and AB progressives he'd leak a draft of the K-2 curriculum mandating Brothers Grimm tales or Wilhelm Busch stories be taught. #Ableg

@GailMeyer2 @anniegirl1138 .What part of it is disinformation? The part about the fantastically rich benefitting disproportionately from COVID relief spending (cf. COSTCO's $10/share special div) or the fact that pumping all that money in will devalue currency, savings and real wages?

[Peter Simons @PXSimons]

@pamshaw2 @klaszus No. You suggested that more tests/more cases was something only an idiot like Trump could suggest, when in reality it's true. Just as it's incorrect to compare provincial COVID responses by using raw case #/100K when there are radically different test protocols & levels.

[Peter Simons @PXSimons]

@pamshaw2 @klaszus Yes. There was. You repeat an idiotic talking point you might get called the same. Your opinion is also dangerous to public health because it spreads misinformation.

[Peter Simons @PXSimons]

@pamshaw2 @klaszus .Let me fix it for idiots like you. Let's say the pop is 1 million and the REAL rate of infection is 1%. If you test 10,000 people truly randomly you should get 100 positives. If you test 20,000 you should get 200. What moron doesn't grasp that.

@EdTheKat @anniegirl1138 That makes sense. In some world.

@TheGameSheet They concoct a new flu shot every year. This is little different. Plus there's no doubt work on the vaccine started AT LEAST last November when the virus started to spread out of Wuhan.

Good thing @CBC is spending a fortune to keep Katy Simpson in Washington at great cost to provide us with US news updates gleaned from watching CNN. We'd never know what was happening down there otherwise.

@AnitaOakville @checkupcbc @AndrewChangCBC .it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the #LPC intentionally oversubscribed vaccine supplies in order to ensure we could send all our 'leftovers' to 'poorer' nations and bolster it's dubious reputation as the world's saviour. #CDNPoli
