Provincial Politics And Other Bad Things

Was inspired to add a new blog entry by a Conservative troll, just like the old days.

Plague Update: Biden’s Failure

Criticism of Joe Biden is presently conflated with support of Donald Trump. This criticism is not in support of Trump’s failed pandemic response. Bleach?!

In Canada, the PM and some of his family have had COVID-19 multiple times, at least twice. It will eventually impact his ability to govern. His failure is similar to Biden’s, even if the scale is smaller due to a smaller population, and provinces having more responsibility for public health.

Did the SK Roughriders hire the REAL geniuses who thought the Experience Regina rebrand was smart?

Plague Update: Exploding Measles Threat

No, the latest measles don’t make you explode, I meant the threat is rising thanks to anti-waxxer ignorance spreading across the globe. And war, that’s infamously good at helping disease take hold of the population. Many of the people in charge of stopping health ignorance and control of diseases, have abandoned their commitments to the public, however.

“[Political Health] actively [and incorrectly] told parents that kids will get immunity by catching covid, and they’re now afraid to say “no! it’s not the same for measles!”.
If they say “no, it’s better to stay off school than to catch measles”, then they acknowledge that health is more important than attendance, and you know they’ve been telling you to send your kids sick to school for nearly two years now.” -1goodtern

Close the schools, make them safe during a pandemic. That means clean air, uncrowded classrooms, and respirators worn when there are extremely dangerous airborne viruses detected in a community. And make sure kids and teachers are vaccinated, then open the schools up again. To do less is to cause irreparable harm to kids. It’s so disgraceful that has become the status quo.

Plague Update: SARS1 2009 News, Viewed from 2022

How many mental health problems seen since the pandemic started are actually blamed on changes in the brains of people infected, and not on some scapegoat like quarantines that kept more people healthy for longer?

Plague Update: From The Past

It’s January 27th, 2022, but you’re reading this in the future.

I’m writing this after my intended bed time, having just helped a friend learn how to purchase an NFT. I guess you’ll know how that turned out.

It was a pretty standard day working from home. The dog got let out into the back yard a few times, the kids got into the video games of all sorts once home from school, one bumped their head on the table playing with the dog, and the cats remained skeptical of the value of having a dog.

Supper was vegetables, sausage, perogies, and chocolate cheese cake for dessert.

In the news, the Omicron variant has mutated into a stealth version, while there are hundreds of truckers rallying against Trudeau for the Conservative and the http://www.PeePC.ca parties.

Premier Moe pissed off some journalists when one of his PR flacks told them they shouldn’t ask about his disastrous interview with Saskatchewan’s Shock Jock.

And the climate crisis melts on, with the massive Antarctic glacial shelf poised to start its coast-altering slide into the oceans. Most people remain blissfully ignorant of this pending danger to disrupt daily life, instead focusing on land-grab/NATO tensions along the Russian/Ukraine border.

Fossil Fuel Companies’ New Evil Strategy

There’s an effort underway by Conservatives and Fossil Fuel companies to suggest that fossil fuels are “sustainable”. This is an attempt to rebrand fossil fuels as non-harmful, when the reality is they’re causing much of the world’s pollution and breakdown in our climate. There are some ad agencies pledging to not contribute to the greenwashing. YouTube, is not among those ethical advertising agencies.

Teachers Prepared To Strike For Smaller Class Sizes

In recent years, many teachers are dealing with 40 kids, in unsafe classrooms, while the Sask Party Education Minister posts about a mining company on the day the strike is announced.

Why did he talk about this mining company? He’s boasting about the corruption his government is getting away with, while suckers continue to support it.

Liberals Are Right About Conservative Intentions

But the Liberals are wrong about the solution. Their betrayal on electoral reform has given the CPC’s PP power over them. They could be working collaboratively to implement things the NDP also want, instead there’s a sword hanging over their heads according to polling.

They’ve cast aside every lesson the pandemic taught them, from CERB, to not letting respirators go to waste. Canadians can’t even get the most effective updated vaccine, Novavax.
