    Good question and I will give you a number of reasons.
    1. most importantly, I don't recall a post where someone did not call out Chuck for something he posted no matter if it was his opinion, or a cut and paste. The point has already been made so why the need to pile on. More and louder voices does not make anything more right or wrong, just loudedr
    2. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and as long as it is expressed as an opinion and not presented as fact I do not consider it BS.
    3. Much of what Chuck posts he backs up with evidence and credible sources. If I disagree with what he claims I can check out the source. If the source turns out to be an opinion column or talking TV head I would not hesitate to call BS. However if it is a peer reviewed study readily available to the public I am not qualified to call BS.
    4. I have to admit that i don't read everything Chuck posts, just like I don't read a lot of other posts if I am not interested in the subject being talked about. So maybe he is posting BS sometimes but I miss it.
    5. Lots of topics, like climate change, has scientific support on both sides. Just because one scientist says one thing and one says another does not make one side right and the other wrong because you agree with scientist A. It should lead to a healthy debate backed up with evidence, not name calliing and insinuations of bias (or political based filtering as you accuse me of).

    Has there ever been anything posted on here which you knew was BS which you did not call out? Why not - if you think calling out BS is good policy?
    Still curious why you won’t say which province you live in? Simple question lots of avoidance!

      I hate to nitpick, but punctuation is important too.

          Good lord, I left this thread for a day because it was getting repetitive and now it’s turned into an argument about Latin typos and Chuck?!

              Spelling aside, if the politicians, who should have more info about Covid then the average citizen, are not worried about getting covid while traveling, then neither should we.

                    I guess we’ll see if they are all in the hospital soon.

                      no, they are sitting at home for the next 14 days in isolation while still collecting their government paycheques.

                      Travel is not illegal. Travel can even be done safely. That is not the point. It is the immorality of telling those that elected them not to travel to the point people like Saskfarmer actually posted a number of times before Christmas that travel to the US is not allowed and then have the audacity to travel themselves; and even to try to hide their travels by prerecording Christmas greetings at home and posting them while they are actually out of country. It is the fact they are imposing restrictions and regulations on citizens which they are not following themselves.
