I got an MMR booster a couple years ago. It might be because of age and when you got it can't remember. EIther way I still would have got it.

Like what?
MMR? Nope
Flu? definitely not
Polio? Still no
HPV? Guess what the answer is

I would suggest you look up Somaliland and ask yourself why is the UN so hesitant in recognizing them as a country, they have been able to get themselves halfway out of the whole that Somalia was and if recognized could start getting investments in a better future.

Crap

In Ontario you can legally hunt deer with 5.56, in Alberta you can't . The difference is engagement distances. Ontario is much more wooded so you are looking at usually under 100yards.

With Alberta well when you look east you can almost Saskatchewan (that's an exageration but you get the gist). They didn't allow the round to be used because when you start stretching out in distance the likelihood in ending up with a wounded deer versus an ethical kill increases dramatically.

The issue with central storage is you now have a very large target for robbery. The ne'er-do-wells can break in and empty the place if so motivated. The more guns the more motivated.
I live in Canada and have guns, they are all locked up. Not because the law says so (well some are (2 ARs and a pistol)) but because I do not want them stolen.

Also the term "military" rifle is laughable. The number 1 deer hunting rifle (Remington 700) is used by a lot of militaries and law enforcement for mid-range snipers.

Except that Biden has been in power for over 6 months and on day 1 knowing full well when the end date was he could have pushed it out or even better demanded all Americans out of Afghanistan by midJuly.

He inherited this fuckup but it is still his fuckup since he chose to do nothing about it

Is the Federal government subsidizing this venture? They seem like they want to blow money looking at the gun ban and how much that will cost rather than investing it in border services directly. Course that may interfere with the people who are flying back across the border and introducing the variants but you know they bought off the elderly with Pfizer so they should be fine next election

So Trudeau is moving there?
The wrong brother moved to BC

Hell I live in Canada and in about a week will have access to Pfizer but got the AZ 2 weeks ago.
Why? Why not. People over 50 were playing vaccine bingo and canceling AZ apts if they got access to Pfizer. I decided that because it is being made available to me now I would take it now. If it means someone else gets access to Pfizer instead that's ok.

Regarding the topic I am sure Trudeau will love this since he seems to have an infatuation with the CCP (the liberal party seems to have gone that way since Chretien was in power).

The irony is my inlaws are in an longterm care and everyone has gone through their double dose of Pfizer and yet they are in a lockdown because both a resident and one of the doctors there has now tested positive.

Better question is why does "need" come into the picture. If need was the end all be all we would never have moved out of a cave.

This whole need thing is just passive agressive self-righteousness

And yet he will still be more competent than Trump was

Sigh, an example of not looking at the full picture.

Initially it was the WHO that was saying that masks could be used in conjunction with other measures to reduce infection but that they were not recommending N95 masks as at that time. Mostly because they were the only ones shown through known testing to be effective and there was huge concerns that the potential of the population hoarding them could cause shortages for medical workers and that masks could cause a false sense of security (resulting in prolonged exposure) so they were pushing the "self-isolation" which Fuaci and every other medical expert were deferring to.

Since then it has been found that multi-layer masks can be quite effective in reducing infected people (mostly the assymptomatic carriers) from transmitting to others which is why the stance has changed.

Because of the fast release of the vaccines,there is also no confirming evidence (yet) that the vaccine will stop you from still getting sick and being able to transmit to others. The only thing definitively they have found is that the vaccine should dramatically reduce the number of hospitiliztions as anyone who did get Covid after being vaccinated did not require it.

Basically between that and how long it may take to get the vaccine out to majority of the population to get to herd immunity, the guard should not be dropped.

Ultimately yeah Trump should have been pushing the states (who ultimately are responsible) for more risk mitigation but Trumps blathering on that this was a democrat hoax had a huge impact.

The early study was assuming 10% of the total population would die if zero precautions were taken. The fact that a good number of people are not so easily triggered into an emasculating snit just to wear a silly mask has probably did the most.

Wife knows a couple they both had it (back in March someone at work ignored feeling symptoms and came in and the partner got it as well), they described it as a bad flu but not bad enough to go to the hospital, she was an ultramarathoner and now gets winded (IN OCTOBER) doing a quarter mile. He has ground glass opacification in his lungs.
