Oh but it's just old people dying, who cares! 

I've gone from scared to shock and sadness that so many people are flippant about the lives of the elderly and the immuno-compromised.  Not shockingly, they're the lean-right 'me me me' types.   :'(

Those are the ones who frequent forums and spread misinformation or deny there’s a problem....   but in real life there are plenty of idiots out there from every spectrum.  They’re just bloody clueless. 

Speaking of which...  stay off Twitter.  It is a cesspool of idiots and trolls.

More bad news:

An individual under the age of 18 has died of the novel coronavirus, marking the first known child death from the virus in the United States, Los Angeles County officials confirmed on Tuesday. “[It is] a devastating reminder that COVID-19 infects people of all ages,” said Barbara Ferrer, L.A. County’s Public Health director

Go ahead and scale it to what you think the actual mortality rate is and how many people you think will get the virus....   the number is still astronomical.   And the CPC wants to debate the finer points of democracy.  Stupid f’kn idiots.

Finer points of democracy?  No, they just don't want to give the Liberals a blank cheque and absolute power for the next 2 years.  The Liberals wouldn't give it to the CPC either, nor should they.

I still don’t think people quite grasp the severity of the situation, including many people on this forum....

11.3 MILLION @ 2% mortality = 226,000 Canadians dead.

It's also no reason to try and impose a two year dictatorship.

Right now, I’ll take quick action over arguing over when a vote might take place, how to gather a quorum and whether the opposition Senators will hold it up because Buttfuck, AB isn’t getting the same as Toronto, or whatever the CPC would like to argue over.

Patty Hajdu, the federal health minister, said COVID-19 could infect between 30 and 70 per cent of Canada’s population. That would mean somewhere between 11. 3 million and 26.3 million people in Canada could get sick, with varying severity.

So you admit they are playing politics amidst a pandemic never before seen certainly in our lifetimes.?

So are the Liberals. Present the spending bill and vote on it, forget trying to grab unlimited power for two years as part of it. The CPC has already said it supports the spending provisions in the bill but not the power grab.

LOL.  Would you give Harper a blank cheque and the power to bypass Parliament for the next 2 years?  That's what I thought.

I returned to show that I, and Ron Paul, were right.  The Liberal government just tried to push for emergency powers to grant them vast new powers to tax and spend until December 2021 without Parliament approval.  Their attempt failed.  Nice try though.  Sounds like something Harper would try to do.  I guess people in power always want more power.

Oh look there's more!

"Trudeau leaves door open to using smartphone data to track Canadians' compliance with pandemic rules

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hasn't ruled out using smartphone data to track whether people are complying with public health officials' pleas for them to stay inside to curb the COVID-19 pandemic — a notion that raises some thorny ethical dilemmas regarding public health and privacy rights."


 :D :D :D  These f*cking tyrants.  Hey, remember when they wanted access to our bank accounts to track our spending habits?   ???

Personally, I think that’s brilliant. 

It is going to take rubber bullets and tear gas to get it through some thick skulls that they can’t be in groups.  It’s time to use some “less-lethal” violence to save innocent lives. 

Clearly you still don’t grasp the problem if you think it’s ok for people to ignore these orders.   If these measures upset the conspiratards among us, f*ck ‘em.
