brian pallister has spent the last two months blaming the feds for not providing enough vaccine but it turns out manitoba has tens of thousands of vaccine sitting in freezers and another hundred thousand on the way. we are on track to only do 60k first doses this month.

someone put this rear end in a top hat out to pasture already Jesus

It was so obvious he was making these wild claims that we have the capacity to vaccinate 20k per day so he could place the blame on the feds for ~supply issues~.. What's even more annoying is that our poo poo media had zero problem parroting all of Pallister's unsubstantiated claims of vaccine dosage capacity from a few weeks ago.

It's so bad now that even a shithead like Tom Broadbeck is calling out the provincial PCs for their BS.

As Metis, I felt the same way, but I booked my 2nd dose anyway.
The Leila supersite is accepting walk-ins today for 1st or 2nd Moderna doses; also I anecdotally know of a handful of people still waiting to book their first dose so that "others who need it more can get vaxxed" so I only feel a bit guilty about having my 2nd dose booked already.

Jets fans are losing their poo poo that people are actually upset about the possibly life-altering injury this guy did 100% on purpose

Head injuries, concussions etc. literally gently caress you up forever, they can completely change a person's personality, attitude, everything. There's a lot of "everybody makes mistakes :kiddo: but telling his family their son's a cruel fuckup, now that is just beyond the pale :mad:" which is like cmon guys, admit it's indefensible, quit feigning outrage or sublimating your anger about the suspension into concern trolling for his family's wellbeing :nallears:

Hockey is too violent, it's not part of the game, so on and so on. gently caress the Jets, can't wait for the team to move again.

Sports fans, in general, are very stupid when it comes to their teams. This isn't unique to the Jets and their fans.

And yeah hockey violence is loving stupid - one of the reasons I stopped watching was the bullshit that would happen near the end of blowout playoff games where the losing team would start acting like shitheads to "send a message" or whatever to the other team.

Oh ok. Glad she was able to enjoy the zoo lights "recently".

It's almost to the point that I'd be genuinely impressed if she's just trolling everyone. Speculation is running rampant that she's either outside the country currently or caught Covid when she travelled to Hamilton for the Grey Cup. Goes without saying that all her tweets are getting ratioed at the moment.

at the very least, to de-legitimize the apparently effective tactic of using your children as human shields

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.

This - Bokhari was the least objectionable candidate but lmao at anyone thinking that Murray would actually beat Gillingham.

The media has been making GBS threads on Murray for the last 2+ months - similar to Judy Wasylicia-Leis in the 2014 election, which resulted in the center-right candidate getting in instead and - shocker - the centre-right candidate won again tonight

In what world do they (govt) think they'll have public support for this tactic, against this union specifically, and right now when nearly everyone is acutely aware of inflation and how it hits these members first, and hardest.

Lots of parents hate spending time with their kids OP

Combine that with the media running sob stories about teachers not caring about their students or whatever and I don't see this ending well for CUPE, or labour rights in general. Sure hope I'm wrong though.

Legit question from a non-Ontarioan - Is there anything someone not in Ontario can do to support CUPE / CUPE members, financially or otherwise?

The Cons are going to win a bunch of Winnipeg seats with like 37% of the vote, similar to what happened in the two recent Winnipeg byelections, and I'm going to be very angry. There's also a disturbing amount of Robert Falcon-Ouellette signs out in Southdale for some reason, so I guess Audrey Gordon is going to be one of those Cons sneaking back in due to morons voting for RFO.

Tuesday's result was a good one ultimately - but even though the Manitoba Cons ran a bafflingly terrible campaign, they still got 42% of the popular vote which is only a 5% decrease from 2019. I fear that they could've ran the exact same campaign and won had they had a more charismatic leader.
