It's like they're giving people a false sense of hope, like "if the cases go down, we won't be under curfew anymore", when in reality, it didn't matter.
In my area, the governor set a threshold of the infection rate for lifting the curfew, the conditions were met, and the curfew was lifted, so, no matter the spin you want to put on things, not a false sense of hope at all.

Stop being a negative Nancy and rejoin reality.

Ontario for example is now coming out of provincial lockdown since our case numbers have dropped a fair amount
Why have the numbers dropped? Do you know? Is it because there is less cases? Or is it because they're doing far less testing now than they were?

I mean, they went from being backlogged with 90,000 unverified tests per day (that's 90,000 above their 70,000 capacity), to only testing at half the capacity possible.

Statistically speaking, if you're only a third as many people as previously, the number of cases will decrease by that same 1/3 margin.

My one issue I have right now is how badly Canada is doing with vaccine rollout. It's terrible.
Yeah, it's pretty messed up that they're now going to delay the second dose of vaccines for 90 days, instead of the 21 days recommended by the manufacturers. The claim is that there currently isn't enough vaccines for everyone to get a second dose, so they want to get a first dose to as many people as possible, while at the same time, sending vaccines that Canadian taxpayers have paid for to other countries.


Joel said :
But that said, you make sweeping statements such as "vaccines aren't going to end lockdowns" and rather than think realistically which is, yeah, until mostly everyone (or enough people) have been vaccinated to make a real difference will lockdowns / other measures be relaxed, you seem to imply that something more sinister might be going and then leave it up to those reading your comments to perhaps get more alarmed about it than necessary.


Coronavirus: Trudeau tells UN conference that pandemic provided "opportunity for a reset"

Justin is literally sitting there you telling you that there is more going on with the pandemic than just the virus. He's very open about it. It's not a "theory".

When did I claim that? Why are you concerning yourself with my personal details? And why would you think that posting someone's personal details would be appropriate on the forums?

Ok, so in the context of fixing broken systems, climate change and so on (which is hardly groundbreaking, or a shock), it is an opportunity to address many issues people face. Why do you have to make it appear anymore sinister than that? To reference that in the context of lockdowns, as if lockdowns are part of this 'reset' and that we'll never be free again like pre-pandemic.

It's an opportunity to address many things normally easier to forget or brush under the carpet, when things are rolling in normal circumstances.

Replacing capitalism with socialism is a sinister thing to do, especially under the guise of a pandemic.


At least you're at the point where you're accepting that there is something more going on with the pandemic than just the virus. Now you can stop implying that I'm promoting false conspiracy theories. ;)

I'm not about to enter a more direct political debate with you. All I've said is that there's no evidence to suggest there's anything more sinister going on (e.g, we're about to be caged for the rest of our lives).

That being said, people have a right to express their views when they vote. Let's just leave it at that.

Can you show me where I claimed "we're about to be caged for the rest of our lives"?

Dude man, you're making stuff up, and implying that I said things that I didn't. Please don't start this again.

You reference how lockdowns won't end with vaccinations (without providing greater context as to why such a remark would be made) and leave your remarks open to a lot of interpretation, and then within the same context reference this 'reset', implying that this is all connected to a bigger, more sinister plan.

The likely (and most realistic intent) behind such remarks is that health measures will be relaxed at a time when vaccine rollout is in a very good place which is likely more towards the back end of this year at the earliest (but we'll see), even though vaccine rollout in many places is going well, other places not so much. Instead, you leave that part out, and reference this 'reset' instead, jumping to the suggestion that maybe we'll never come out of regular lockdowns.

Thankfully I'm not the only one who picks up on the comments you make and how you make them and this isn't the first time this has happened, unfortunately it seems likely it won't be the last, and then afterwards you make out you're all confused and shocked when it gets called out "What? Me? I never said XYZ".

Because I literally didn't say XYZ. :|

You're taking what I say, in your own words "without providing greater context" and then imply I've stated things that I haven't stated. When I call that out, you claim it must be my intent to say those things without specifically saying them.

If you don't know what my intent is, then just ask. Don't make up your own intentions that you think I have, and imply that must be my intention. If you don't know, or want further context, or would a like a citation, just ask. I've repeatedly stated to simply ask if you want to know.

Stop assuming things. Just ask.

What's that saying again? Don't assume, it makes an ASS of U and ME.



I have no problems further explaining things, or citing my sources, all you have to do is ask.

Why do you need to be prompted or asked to clarify something when, if I (and I'm not the only person across multiple conversations, across multiple days) and others seem to interpret what you said in a different way? Surely that's enough of a reason to clarify, no? If what you've said has indeed been misinterpreted so differently and you care that much.

So, do you think this 'reset' will involve further lockdowns past the point at which vaccinations have been widely distributed around the world, hopefully achieving what its meant to achieve?

Or do you think this 'reset' is purely a remark made in regards to fixing issues we have in society today (regardless of what those fixes would be or look like)?
