Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Once again you are under some misguided impression that insulting the Prime Minister of my country somehow bothers me. Lol. Keep going.
BTW, you conveniently left out the $2000/mo CERB that the federal government gave out starting in March.Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
"I came across this business, Toner One, because the owner, Billy Carpenter, was posting rude and misogynistic comments on Twitter. The comments weren't so outrageous in themselves, but I don't trust doing business with someone who doesn't even know to make a troll account for such matters. Either he doesn't realize how easily people can click to this page or he does not know those comments are offensive enough to hurt his business, in any case, he is clearly out of touch and not someone I'd care to work with. He commented on a famous black woman's comment saying she didn't have a "sexy body type" and told her she's not suited for skinny jeans, and when the mentions turned on him, he started asking folks for bikini pictures of this woman and told women to be quiet because the men folk are talking. It's quite unbecoming of Billy's age."

Keep up. I already looked it up and posted it in this very thread. Your folks only got around 6k from Mr. Black Face. Still that's a lot of money. Your country is gonna have to sell a lot of Maple Syrup to pay that back.

That comment was from some idiot on Twitter that got her feelings hurt because I said Jemele Hill was blessed by mother nature when she was born but was cursed by Father Time when she got older.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
By the way, I just looked up that review that SalesServiceGuy posted. It was a yelp review from some idiot that lives in California. We were talking on Twitter and I had a picture in my twitter profile that had our company truck in it with the name of our business. She googled our company and posted a nasty review on our Yelp Page.
Here's the actual page.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
And the "famous black woman" I was referring to on twiter is Jemele Hill. A little background is in order:
by Jake Elman on August 24, 2020
the former ESPN host and announcerESPNNumbers Never Lie before they became co-hosts of a re-branded SportsCenter called SC6.
Hill held that role until she moved toThe Wire.
Hill compared the United States to Nazi Germany

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Canada and Trudeau dropped the ball on the Corona Vaccine:
Justin Trudeau didn't foresee this potentially catastrophic political crisis
Canadian Michael Bociurkiw (@WorldAffairsPro) is a global affairs analyst and host of the podcast, Global Impact. He is a regular contributor to CNN Opinion. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own. Read more opinion at CNN.
(CNN)For someone so adept at kicking the legs out from under his political opponents, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau surprisingly didn't spot a potentially catastrophic political crisis approaching in the rear-view mirror.
Last week, Canadians were exasperated after being told by federal public health officials and then Trudeau that the majority of them are not expected to be vaccinated against the deadly Covid-19 virus until September or even as late as December 2021. This is possibly months after people in other G7 countries that manufacture vaccines are expected to have access -- places such as the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom.
"The very first vaccines that roll off an assembly line in a given country are likely to be given to citizens of that particular country," Trudeau said. "Countries like the United States, Germany and the UK do have domestic pharmaceutical facilities, which is why they're obviously going to prioritize helping their citizens first."
But on Wednesday, the United Kingdom announced that 800,000 doses of the approved Pfizer vaccine are already on their way from Belgium and will start to be made available next week. The announcement once again highlights how Canada has dropped the ball in securing vaccines to help fight this deadly pandemic.
Of course, the timelines are complicated and Health Canada's chief medical adviser says the country may not lag that far behind on vaccine approval, compared to those countries manufacturing the vaccine.
But after weeks of raising expectations that "when a vaccine will be ready Canada will be, too," it is hard to imagine a bigger political blunder -- especially with a potentially politically damaging split screen of Americans queuing to receive the Covid-19 vaccine while Canadians remain sequestered at home in the dead of winter under sweeping public health restrictions that have put strict limits on how many people can gather.
o put things in perspective, for months Canadians have looked on at the US in horror as the Trump administration fumbled the initial pandemic response to become the world's number one hotspot. Until recently, we'd managed to keep our numbers relatively low. While the US has had over 4,000 cases per 100,000 people, Canada has had just over 1,000.
At the same time, we were being assured by a confident Prime Minister that we will soon see the "light at the end of the tunnel." We've been led to believe we were lucky and well-positioned to emerge from the pandemic early.
Although Canada expects around 6 million vaccines by the end of the first quarter of 2021, they will quickly be consumed by "high priority groups" such as frontline health workers and the most vulnerable.
How did this delay happen?
The answer is that Trudeau tends to deliver far better on issues management than large legacy projects, such as facilitating the nation's ability to produce its own advanced vaccines -- like the Covid-19 mRNA type that requires special facilities that Canada doesn't have yet.
An advanced plant-based vaccine is under development by Quebec-based Medicago but it is only entering stage two trials. Not only does Canada not have robust domestic production, it lagged behind in placing orders for some of the foreign-made vaccines (such as Pfizer). There were also delays in construction of an expanded vaccine manufacturing plant in Quebec -- the deal was also disrupted due to a botched agreement with a Chinese firm when Chinese customs blocked exports of vaccine samples.
Having been in power five years, and with warnings loud and clear about a forthcoming pandemic from the World Health Organization (WHO) and health experts, Trudeau should have summoned the political will to jump start a revival of domestic vaccines production in order to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.
But more immediately, Ottawa could have avoided accusations of political obfuscation by preparing Canadians far earlier for the possibility that mass vaccination will take place later than many G7 countries and far into 2021.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Trudeau's failure on the vaccine is gonna lead to prolonged lockdowns and could cripple the economy further. I guess that's what happens when a country doesn't have the ablity to produce it's own vaccine...you're at the mercy of other countries.
Meanwhile the USA just approved the Moderna vaccine and secured millions of doses of from Pfizer. Looking good for us.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment
