of course, what the blowhard fails to grasp is he doesn't hold the cards - State Governors do. What a maroon, what a rube!

Minor issue.  Of course they were never going to have the ability to do this to perfection.

Hence the need for Universa’ Basic Income.  Wouldn’t need to ramp up anything.

If far more people needed money from a universal basic income program, ie: millions of newly unemployed, of course they'd have to ramp things up.

As in, they won’t need to increase infrastructure or resources to deal with a brand new program;  they could simply increase the amount to whomever they wanted.

Only one road leading to Tofino and Uclulet, just get local FN to set up a road block.
The possibility they might have inspired the RCMP to set up their checkpoint. There were certainly voices from local indigenous communities ready to block the highway to outsiders back in the middle of March.

We're told we're not supposed to travel to our cottages.  Sophie Trudeau and kids are now staying at their cottage in Quebec.

Justin Trudeau just told every Canadian not to travel to see family this weekend. His wife and kids are in Quebec right now. A reporter asked how he will be spending Easter, and he said "I hope to spend it with my family."

Sophie and the kids are. JT wanted to join them but had to stay in Ottawa because Parliament is debating his new bill.

member Shady - this thread includes several references to Trump/admin (and MAGAites) purposely labeling the COVID-19 virus as "the Chinese virus... as the Wuhan virus" - to the point Trump had to, repeatedly, give notice to "coincident" attacks (verbal and physical) on Chinese/Asian Americans. Will member Shady continue in that vein?


Who cares?  We don’t stop telling the truth because racists get the wrong idea.  Um, Zika, MERS, Lyme, Ebola, West Nile, and dozens more virus’ are named from where they originate.  Communist China doesn’t get a pass, despite their pathetic objections.

Lol.  Well, you’re outraged that a virus was correctly called from the area it originated.  As almost every virus in history has.  Certainly in the last several years.  But I guess things change when you feel the need to carry water for China.  Then using such names is OUTRAGEOUS!

Referring to it as the Wuhan virus isn’t incorrect.

factualWaldo protip: 2015 - WHO established best practices for naming of new human infectious diseases

Quote
WHO, in consultation and collaboration with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), has identified best practices for the naming of new human diseases, with the aim to minimize unnecessary negative impact of disease names on trade, travel, tourism or animal welfare, and avoid causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups.

per the official WHO announcement - naming the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the virus that causes it

Quote
Official names for the virus responsible for COVID-19 (previously known as “2019 novel coronavirus”) and the disease it causes.

Disease: coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

Virus: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

Who cares?  We don’t stop telling the truth because racists get the wrong idea.  Um, Zika, MERS, Lyme, Ebola, West Nile, and dozens more virus’ are named from where they originate.  Communist China doesn’t get a pass, despite their pathetic objections.

as the waldo pointed out, the WHO naming convention was established in 2015... giving the WHO 4 years of cover before SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 originated! ;D

now I expect your allInAllOutrageSelf won't allow you to easily differentiate concern from outrage... cause the waldo did express concern about the want/propensity of Trump/admin, MAGAites, Trumpistas, et al, to attempt to deflect the idiocy/incompetency/failure of Trump towards China... and the waldo did express empathetic concern for the safety of Asian Americans!
