Here's a not so hot take. You Canadians will never win a cup until you move away from Commu-, I mean Socialism. No informed man wants to take a 40% paycut to play there when they can play in some states that have 0% income tax.

"There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism – by vote." -Ayn Rand

You all are just voting for communism.
So have fun losing on and off the ice, you commies.

You realize that our socialist program has supplied about 50% of the leagues players and about 65%of the league revenue, or are you not aware or the facts?

Today I went to a close community, which is 200km away, and looked around.
Wife and I were had hoped to spend about 10k, but a couple businesses had promoted themselves as ant-vaxxers, so we went elsewhere.
It was ironic that when I turned around, after reading the notice on the businesses door about the need to stand up against whatever these beliefs are are, was a gentleman who had just seen me me checking out a new rifle and claimed that the left type are scared of a weapon.
How fucking dumb are these guys?

Don’t bother. Typical Yank. Drops a turd and then tucks his tail and runs back home. See Afghanistan as latest example. Who would have thought the Americans would turn into a bunch of soft, entitled, easily swindled, cowards.

I figured it out in the 70's when they bailed on Vietnam. Don't forget that China scared the hell out of them in Korea.

85% with 1st shot and 77% with 2nd shot in BC, not bad. Hopefully the Ivermectin gang don't get to sick, this fall.
Also, another interesting stat this morning, 215 covid hospitalizations, of which 118 are in ICU.(55%)

Alberta's "Let 'er Rip" approach hasn't worked.
I'll be comfortable when BC hits 85% + for 2nd dose.

How are your new pom-poms coming along?

92% of the Northern Health (highest covid numbers of all BC health authorities) people in the ICU are non-vaccinated.

85 will be great 90% much better.

My pom-poms might get thrown out, depending what they do about the 2 RFA's

Ya, the NHA is also the largest health region in the province, area wise and covers the Peace River area, where many are ultra-right sheep. I am sure they are using the ever popular Ivermection/bleach solution.

I notice nobody said much about the ultra right protests from last weekend, but if the Left has a protest, these big mouth pieces of shit will cry for months about it.

It's all they have, let them scream and yell, let them raise their blood pressure. It only effects you if you listen. Every time I hear of another conservation radio talk show host or blogger die from covid I let out a little giggle, the world is witnessing Darwinism in real time.

I bet you can find some people out there that think the government is using covid as an excuse/plan to kill off the "free thinkers" and "patriots" of their country.

You mean the self-centred cry babies who were bullying healthcare workers? They remind of some of the tough talkers in the other thread.

I believe that this is technically terrorism - the harming of one group of people in order to force a different group to take some action/make a change/negotiate etc. though the “harm” in this case is more emotional than physical - with the exception of patients who had to traverse longer distances because parking/access was blocked.

If the protesters really wanted to protest they should have done it at the legislative buildings, or wherever the policy gets created.

That was the problem, they thought they would have to go to Washington DC, and weren't allowed to travel to the US. Remember, this isn't the smartest group of people.

So what you're saying is they were just policing the hospitals?
