Over 10,400 cases now. New record.
Anything from Ford yet?

Such a dummy. Parents have to plan for this stuff.

Realistically, we're at double or triple that number (or more). We've blown past our testing capability by a lot and there's no system in place to track rapid testers who are coming up positive and just isolating.

Fwiw, Bill Comeau (statistician, not an epi or virologist) figures we're at about 50K today.

Especially since everyone knows things are going to get delayed by a week. Does he think people are going to hate him more by saying the first week on Jan will be online announcing that now vs announcing it at 7pm on the 2nd?

Depends on if you're one of those herd immunity weirdos or not.

What a muppet

O'Toole is trying to unite the anti-Trudeau vote with the batshit vote, after seeing the latter drift to PPC last election.

There's no Conservative coalition without the fringe lunatics.

What a muppet

yeah I saw this today and thought the exact same thing.

I almost feel bad for the dude cause he clearly has to pander to fucking lunatics but it is kind of his own and his party's fault, so fuck'em.

He's an epic douche all by himself, I have no sympathy.

What a muppet

And some people wonder why I won't even consider voting for Conservative politicians, no matter what kind of reasonable happy bullshit noises come out of their faces in the lead-up to an election.

 

[Leafyblue]

So, like a concentration camp?

Thats not an insignificant percentage of their base

 

[lecoqsportif]

2% Libs —> Bernie won

 

[MindzEye]

Fwiw, I'm counting the 6% with the 27%. If you're not with us, you're against us on this one. That's 33% of CPC voters that are political flat earthers.

Like was mentioned previously, this is exactly why I don't think I'd ever be able to bring myself to vote for the party. Any politician beholden to that level of stupidity to ensure future election success is dangerous whether they intend to be or not. You can only deny reality for so long until reality stops giving a fuck what you think and deals with you.
