Hammer Down

Way to go "B"....

Universal Health care in Canada is a socialist program, you took advantage of and it, and it saved your life. Therefore, you would be classified as a hypocrite and a socialist.

Didn't you work for the Sk NDP and fly their banner just a few years ago, Golden Spoon Boy !

What was he supposed to do, stay home and die? Call in a veterinarian? Maybe go see a witch doctor? We don’t have private health care.
I’m sure SASKFARMER has paid his fare share in taxes and isn’t a burden to society.

Maybe Alberta has a rubber hammer. Or one of those blow up ones.

Either way it’s not very hard hitting.

[SASKFARMER]

I agree we have nothing else but it does show how mentally challenged people like forage really are.

You got sick you took advantage of our system?

Yea a Canadian making comments like that to a tax paying Canadian is mentally unstable.

But this is what we have to fight.

Fear is all they have.

Socialism doesn’t work.

Eventually when it’s to late some slow individuals will finally see.

Again thanks forage your showed us all what a low life you really are.

[Blaithin]

Uh oh, here come the mentally ill comments 😂

Am I out to lunch in thinking they are reasonably sensible measures?

It looks like the wife is effectively unemployed again as on the surface it seems like private piano lessons masked, and distanced as they were will no longer be allowed?

I'll likely have to pick up either the childcare responsibility, or the shopping responsibility, as it seems unlikely stores will be eager to count 3 children into their 25% of fire code, and she surely wont be able to drop them with the grandparents, even though there is no real way of avoiding contact with them as dad and I are actively farming in the same yard in the same operation...

But businesses that are very much struggling can still stay open. I got tortured at the dentist today, with everyone wondering whether this afternoons edicts would effectively shut it down again. It seems that they can stay open...

The measures will likely make NO-ONE happy... but what does these days?

I don’t think there’s any answer in a situation like this. Lose business(es), or lose lives.

Will the restrictions help keep some business afoot? Probably some. Will they help curb the virus? I doubt it. They’re still relying on people to be smart and as a whole, people are selfishly dumb.

I’m thankful for my privileged life in the country with a pretty much guaranteed job. The worst I may have to deal with is wearing a mask at work. I also don’t have kids to make things more stressful.

Pretty much they could do anything and it won’t have a very large impact on me. I’m like Teflon.

You started out calling me a socialist, my point was your life was saved by the Canadian Universal care system which is consider to be socialist program by many. It saved your life which means our health system works, you deserved that, of coarse. We all pay a lot of taxes so it better work.

Yes, I realize you have every right to use it as all Canadians do. I just find it very odd that your calling others socialists, when in Canada we all have so many social programs which ALL of us Canadians use.

You want to yap B.S. be prepared to be challenged.

I see you have about as much faith in humanity as I do... That said, if shopping is not necessarily an efficient vector of infection, (something I still haven't been able to see data on) then perhaps people being stupid will be fine so long as business owners, who have a VERY vested interest in avoiding a full blown lockdown, are motivated to stay in business it will be ok?

I’m like Teflon.

Farma... feel free to run with this one! Bahaha!

[Blaithin]

I don’t know that shopping is generally the stupid activity. It’s hanging out with friends, sports, supper, that sort of thing.

I said it before on here somewhere, but it feels like not hanging out with friends or family is like you don’t trust them. But it’s not really about trust, you just don’t know who’s exposed to what or when.

Coworkers go hang out with say 5 friends regularly. Those 5 friends have 5 friends, etc etc etc. Somebody plays hockey or gets hammered at the bar or goes out on a date and bam, all of a sudden it’s in my circle. I’m a hermit who sees practically nobody but my co workers. They trust their friends to not get them sick, but I have no idea who their friends are. Too me they’re people hanging out in groups that are likely to lead to me taking the virus home to my morose mom who’s convinced she’ll die if she gets it.

Yeah people need to socialize but considering how much time we spend on social media on our phones... stop doing it in person so much!

But again, I’m a hermit who sees nobody. It really wouldn’t bother me if I couldn’t see anyone for weeks. I take time off work for holidays and just never leave my yard.

[Hamloc]

Kinda of mind blowing that it’s that one sided. Never realized it was that high

So here is my question if I understand Jason Kenney correctly all indoor social gatherings are banned for 3 weeks. So my kids and grandkids who all live within 6 miles of me cannot come over to visit. I am 56 and it appears that roughly only 1.5% of covid deaths are occurring outside of long term care homes, how will me not seeing my kids and grandkids change the extremely unfortunate truth that most deaths are occurring in these facilities? Am I missing something here?

[SASKFARMER]

Forage yap BS you said I used the Canadian system.

This isn’t about me it’s your attitude.

You show your true colours every time you post.

I have as much of a right to use our system as any other Canadian.

If we had another yes I would use it.

What did they do with school? Hockey?

Why can’t you go 3 weeks without seeing them to see if AHS can get a handle on things again?
