Nova Scotia's ditching pretty much all covid restrictions in a month. Not sure why we can't keep masking requirements other than some people finding them inconvenient. But what do I know, maybe it'll be fine.

like, tim's been angling do do things on this timetable anyway, however, if I were a politician making up a completely arbitrary date to do something, I'd try to put some a bit more time between the child shield using criminals asking for it and actually doing it. for optics, you know.

They should at least keep masks in essential retail. Like, masking while standing up but not sitting down in restaurants is pure theatre and can go but vulnerable people should still be able to get groceries without having to throw a hazmat suit on.

It's also definitely a coordinated attempt to put pressure on the Feds, who have been mostly slightly less stupid than the provinces, to remove their existing Covid regulations.

it's infuriating because these dipshits are talking like finally covid is over. like I looked at the thread in the halifax subreddit and it was full of people who seem to have spent the last 2 years in an alternate reality where we aren't worse off now than basically any other time of the pandemic.

he did have some words about the antivax protests at least.

"In Camera" apparently means like, behind closed doors. The rest of the meeting was streamed live, but for that they took it private even to reporters.

I've never heard it called that before either :psyduck:
