Canada’s covid-19 second wave is a humbling moment after a summer of bragging

  1. Michelle brings out the whips and chains on Trudeau- as is required often these days.

    She says two things that are absolutely true: 1)This bill is already before Parliament. and 2) Her account will be the first to go. No lies there.


    Prime Minister Tinkerbell using the pandemic to remove basic freedoms. As I said before- and you will not hear this from the fake Canadians here- everyone should keep in mind that Baby Justin's father Pierre was also considered to the lefty's lefty- both his father and mother, Margaret licked Castro's balls endlessly. But his father lost some of that flower child image when he rolled the tanks out on the streets of Montreal to terrorize the Quebecois who were seeking freedoms. Tinkerbell is cut from that same cloth.

    Some of the drones here will rise to say that this has nothing to do with covid and this is a canada and covid thread. Really? They are idiots. The pandemic is the crisis lefties have dreamt about for decades to implement all their big government plans. They are too stupid though to understand that the Chinese are also using the pandemic to implement their big government plans which - in the long run- includes suppressing lefty Canadians and Americans and Australians and Europeans. But they need the useful idiots in those countries to do stages one and two for them.

    Insulin is NOT the only medical discovery or innovation, dumb ass. Your whole act is going down in flames as you fail to realize how quickly Canada has mobilized resources and made huge inroads getting people vaccinated.

    You really are ignorant. The year 2021 and America is still producing dumb guys like you who don't know their place in the world.

    This paragraph helps illustrate the depths of your stupidity and beliefs. Oh no what are the "lefties" up to in world ? Maybe head back to whatever community you eminated out of and have a good cry on your momma's shoulder. You obviously can't cope in the real world, a giant man child lacking in critical thinking skills who wants so badly to be respected as a thinking man.

    The U.S. is now allowing Canadians to come across the border to be vaccinated. The model North Dakota is using for this is similar to what other U.S. states (such as N.C.) did in allowing people living in border counties of neighboring states to get vaccinated.

    On one hand this shows how desperate the vaccination situation is in Canada; on the other it is good the see the U.S. helping our neighbor.


    Manitoba teachers can soon get COVID-19 shot in North Dakota, premier says

    Manitoba teachers can soon head to North Dakota to get vaccinated against COVID-19, Premier Brian Pallister says.

    During a press conference Thursday Pallister said teachers and education workers are being added to the list of essential workers cleared to get their shots through a cross-border vaccination agreement set up between the province and its southern neighbour.

    “Although there’s a surplus of demand here, there’s no surplus of vaccines, so having the ability to have the partnership with North Dakota is very valuable,” said Pallister.

    “We all understand that we have an education system that we have to protect.”

    Pallister said details of the program expansion “are being developed as we speak” and didn’t say Thursday when teachers can begin making the trip down south to get their shots.

    He said he expects to release more information early next week.

    The initiative, announced last week, initially saw commercial truck drivers who regularly travel into the United States given the green light to get their shots at special vaccination sites set up along the highway on the United States side of the border.

    Pallister said the aim is to allow teachers to drive to the U.S. border, get a shot on the North Dakota side — where vaccines are plentiful — and immediately drive back home.

    “The isolation requirements that are normally there for people when they return from the United States, will not apply,” he said.

    He said one location will be on the highway from Winnipeg and another one will hopefully be set up on the highway south of Brandon.

    The vaccines cannot just be shipped to Manitoba, as U.S. federal supply rules between the country and the manufacturer do not allow states to distribute their allotments across the border.

    Both the U.S. and the Canadian federal governments would be required to broker such a deal.

    The shots are being provided at no cost, having been paid for by the U.S. federal government, and will be available via appointments, the province said last week.

    The Manitoba Teachers’ Society has called for its members to be prioritized for vaccines and for schools in Winnipeg to move to remote learning due to rising COVID-19 infections. President James Bedford called Pallister’s initiative a bandaid solution.

    “I don’t think this is a practical solution to a very real problem,” Bedford said.

    Bedford said opening up vaccines across the border would only help teachers who already live close to the crossing but it creates more barriers for others.

    “You need a car, you need a passport, you need the right answers to questions you get asked at the border,” he said. “You get your shot, if you get a reaction I suppose it means a hospital stay in North Dakota that will weigh on folks on who picks up the bill for that.”

    He said many younger teachers are not eligible for a shot in Manitoba, either because they don’t live or work in hot zones or their age eligibility has not come up and they have other reasons they cannot drive across the border on a weekend.

    “Many of those members aged 40 and under have young children at home so are those children to go along on the trip or do I find somebody to look after those children for me,” Bedford said. “That’s a huge challenge these days.”
    Pallister said teachers over the age of 40 can already be vaccinated along with the general population, and teachers and other front-line workers over 18 in high-risk areas are being prioritized.

    It's a known fact that many people that live near the Canada / United States border will work in one country and live in the other country especially those that are dual citizens...allowing them to enjoy the benefits of both countries.

    There was a story not too long ago that those that live on the Canada / United States border have been crossing the border to get vaccinated. The problem was that they returned back either not fully vaccinated as in they only had their first shot for those taking Pfizer or Moderna...

    Requiring them to do the normal 10 day quarantine was extremely helpful because some weren't quarantining...spreading the Covid infection.

    Yet, I have a problem with this aspect of the article...

    That's absolutely ridiculous considering they can still spread the infection. In fact, it has been a problem so far in other situations because of people traveling and taking advantage of loopholes in the mandatory quarantine...

    Canada discover its how the variants enter Canada after the borders were closed.

    There's now a big discussion about allowing people from India to travel to Canada...as in...so far they've been allowed to not only travel top Canada...there have been many that were exempt from the mandatory quarantining.

    Health Officials would later discover someone that was infected with Covid, had been spreading it within Canada after travel from a Covid outbreak hotspot.
    • Simply, the spread of the variants into the United States or Canada has been through exempt travel or via people finding a loophole that allows them to avoid the mandatory quarantining requirements...
    They then spread Covid to family and friends whom they interact with within their household.

    Exempting Canada teachers from the mandatory quarantine is ridiculous.

  7. Help is coming and additional vaccines have arrive so hang in there. That help did not and will not originate in Ottawa. Prime Minister Tinkerbell is as useless as tits on a nun.

    99 years old and still no access to vaccine. Trudeau has been vaccinated.

    Oh, the shame.

    For the undereducated/uneducated :

    A simple Google search indicates that a Canadian discovered the gene that causes Cystic fibrosis in the 1980s. Now to a rational person, one would note out of a country of 36 million, the number of significant contributions from Canada is quite good. We may in fact be overachievers in this area; hard to say it's a subjective call. It suffices to say that Canadians have made major contributions to the world in the medical research area.

    We also have an excellent public school education system. Unfortunately, TreeFrogTrader went through an inferior facility it seems. If only we could cure that.
