The census asked me what languages my 6 month old baby spoke.

None wasn't an option, so I put English even though the only English he spoke was "dada", which isn't even a word, really.

It was online, and I filled it out two months ago, so I don't remember all the options exactly, but I do remember that none of them fit.

I did leave a comment about how maybe asking for the language spoken by children under 2 didn't make any sense.

Edit: My wife speaks a language other than English or French, so that explains why I was asked.

I got my 2nd shot of Moderna on Thursday and I was absolutely incapacitated all day yesterday. Literally the sickest I have ever been. Fever, chills, and the worst headache I've ever had. Feel fine today though.

Got both doses at the Telus Convention Centre. First one had a long line through the Plus 15s but still moved fairly quick, took about an hour from getting in line to leaving after the 15 minute waiting period. Second one, I pretty much walked right in and got the poke. I was impressed with how organized it was both times. Amazing how if you give the Health Care system enough resources, everything works pretty well!

Telus has a vested interest in pumping as many people as possible full of that 5G.

No poo poo they're campus Conservatives. Can you imagine becoming a Conservative late in life? Like, you make it to your 40s with a functioning brain and then suddenly realize that you want to make life worse for everyone around you? That's some Captain Planet supervillain poo poo right there.

Yeah, but that was what, 20-30 years ago? I don't think anyone growing up outside of Conservatism (that isn't a Q-cultist) can look at what the Conservatives have become during that time span and be like "Yes please, I'd like to get in on that."

I mean, look at Jason Kenney's bio:
Like a human pig, he loves to pollute, using his wealth to acquire complex pig-themed polluting gadgets. He has a distorted sense of vanity (fat pride), and is an inveterate glutton, even eating a small fish that was originally destined as lunch to his henchman, after Kenny himself ate a big fish. He does not appear to be very brave - once Justin Trudeau arrives, he often resorts to begging or pleading, usually desperate to be saved from his own plan, which has backfired. However, he throws his weight around and can be very cruel as he has attempted to harm the Liberals on more than one occasion.

I found out which of my co-workers in health care are not vaccinated and I really wish I hadn't because I'm so loving angry with them.

When my wife and I were taking pre-natal classes immediately pre-COVID the nurse running them was dead set against getting the flu shot and the mother of another pregnant lady was extolling the benefits of colloidal silver. There is so much woo and snake oil out there that it felt like it was the 1920s instead of the 2020s.

Moderna also produced a highly effective Zika mRNA vaccine around early 2019, which formed the basis of their COVID vaccine research.

I think the brainworms might be getting me and I'm a little sympathetic to those who are concerned about a vaccine that hasn't completed the full approval process.

The vaccines have completed the full approval process though.

Disclaimer: I'm talking about the FDA here, because nobody in drug development really cares about Health Canada’s process (they basically just worry about the FDA and then give the same data to Health Canada).

The FDA approval process isn't something that's set in stone. It can vary greatly depending on the need for the drug and how effective it is at treating whatever it's supposed to treat. For diseases where the drug is very effective and the alternative to getting it can be death (i.e. the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines), the FDA can fast-track the approvals process by basically bumping it to the front of the review queue and holding more frequent review meetings with the drug manufacturer. They also created a super-accelerated approval process to get COVID-19 drugs to patients as quickly as possible because the need is so great.

Basically the only thing that the COVID-19 vaccines haven't passed yet is long-term safety, but no new drug will have long-term safety data by this point. The vaccines are extremely effective at stopping people from dying of COVID-19 in the short term though, so they're approved based on that.

Maybe Tysni should actually post about what part of that plan they think will "reduce prices". The entire thing is formulated to increase demand. That will do nothing but increase prices.

Bolded parts mine. Between the horror stories of people fed up with low wage bullshit jobs and delusional owners who piss and moan about lazy people who don't want to work for pennies to meet their bosses' stupid profit margins, I'd be perfectly fine watching thousands of restaurants crash and burn so that the businesses that do treat their employees fairly and pay them a living wage can thrive.

I feel dumb for not knowing this already but what are the rules around campaign signs on public/municipal land?

It's a municipal issue. Here's a summary of Waterloo's bylaws:

quote:

Just one sign is permitted between intersecting roads. 

Signs cannot interfere or obstruct the visibility of drivers, cyclists or pedestrians.

Signs cannot interfere or obstruct a roadway, shoulder of the road, median or planting bed.

They must be at least 0.5 metres from a sidewalk, the curb or the shoulder of the road, or three metres from the edge of a road with no curb or shoulder.

On any other regional roads, they must be one metre away.

Signs cannot be within three metres of a fire hydrant.

Signs on public property cannot be within five metres of a driveway.

Signs cannot be within 100 metres of a roundabout and they must be 30 metres from a traffic control signal, crosswalk, bus stop sign or school bus loading zone.

Signs must be 30 metres from the shoulder of an intersection (or 30 metres from the edge of the road at an intersection where there is no shoulder).

On CBC radio today I had to listen to an anti-vax airline employee whine about how the vaccine passport/employer vaccine mandate is forcing him to choose between his "safety" and his job. All I could think was I hope this idiot loses his job, both about the anti-vaxxer and the CBC editor who decided to give his idiotic views airtime.
