Unfortunately, Canada seems like it would rather assist people in their addiction with injection sites, or methadone clinics, than put them into rehab and treat their addiction. the small city i live near has 31,000 people in it. it has 3 methadone clinics. they don't check id. so the methheads go to each one. collect their 3 doses, and then go zombify themselves in a local stores parking lot, because they cant make it back to their tent city on the 1st and 15th of every month. Absolutely wonderful having 3-40 methed out people drooling on themselves in a stores parking lot.

Having to deal with a number of government websites and government bodies in my job. Whoever they get to do their websites, and upkeep on their servers is definitely the LOWEST bidder. The one website is "down for maintenance" every other sunday. You know. A day the government isnt open, when we need the webpage up to conduct buisiness.. and cant call them to finish transations..
Then during the week, i cant count the number of times the website goes down.

I asked a question in my post, you conveniently ignored that.

What are the charges against them. No other protestor gets this treatment for blocking highways (which the truckers really didnt they blocked city streets) and were peaceful. Not something i can say about many protests in the last what.. 5+ years ?

So.. again. What are the charges the truckers are being charged with ? I havent seen ANY charges beyond public mischief for the leaders, who were treated like war criminals in the canadian justice system.

So. Beyond public mischief that the leaders were charged with and havent been convicted of nor had a trial yet, but were kept in jail with no parole for months on end..

Where are the charges ?

The gorned stopped after the first week. Amazing that nlocking roads includes allowing traffic through. And businesses that stayed open were quite happy with the protestors.

My problem is, the games i normally play on steam. If i play them on linux, or through a VM of windows. I will get banned. Bungee bans people for playing Destiny 2 on linux or a vm. Because of their cheat detector software.

I would be all over gaming on linux if this wasnt a problem.

AMD drivers for video cards have been crap since the 90's. Thats the main reason i stopped buying amd video cards.

I remember i updated the drivers for the video card and it changed the desktop resolution to 1024x768, but left the monitor resolution at 800x600 so the desktop would scroll side to side and up and down when the mouse pointer got close to the edge of the screen. Couldnt turn it off. So i went back to the stock drivers for it and it was fine.

Ah, so if we aren't allowed to participate in society, we don't need to pay taxes ?

You are essentially putting a gun to peoples head and stipulating "give us your wallet or die" but in this case it is "Get vaccinated, or you cant feed yourself, get medical attention, work, or any other ways to provide for yourself and family"

Explain to me these numbers and how well the vaccine is working if it is the be all end all of ending this pandemic.

Ontario is currently running 81.7% fully vaccinated ages 5 and older.

here is the case load breakdown for Ontario hospitals.

In ICU
119 un-vaccinated
17 partially vaccinated
106 fully vaccinated

Doesnt look like the vaccines are doing much there.

In hospital but not ICU
Un-vaccinated 441
Partially Vaccinated 100
Fully Vaccinated 1327

Again the vaccine isnt doing anything.

Here is the page for these stats. https://covid-19.ontario.ca/da... and https://covid-19.ontario.ca/

Now. Explain to me please how getting everyone vaccinated is going to do anything ? Ontario is at 81 almost 82% fully vaccinated.
