OT: Coronavirus XXIX: Is This Even the Right Damn Roman Numeral? New Measures to Curb Stomp COVID?

[nabob]

So 2 white Oiler fans and 6 old fogey's walk into a bar......

All deaths are labeled as Covid deaths.

 

[Dorian2]

All deaths are labeled as Covid deaths.

Even the death of my bar joke that I started?

How terrible it is to trust an elected government in a democracy.

How terrible it is to just believe what Hinshaw is actually stating, again, today, that the govt has reiterated.

I'm beyond contempt for trusting that provincial elected officials are actually running the province. .

No, it's your prerogative to trust them. I guess there shouldn't be contempt for that. However at the same time there should also not be the same contempt for people who don't trust much of anything from the UCP as well and call them out. I didn't mind people criticizing Notley for calling out the UCP for poor Covid handling (though I believe she damn well should). Jut as long as the several of you that are calling out Notley aren't also slamming posters for criticizing Hinshaw and the UCP.

Saw 2 white guys in Oilers uniforms being racist.

All white Oilers fans are racists.

I didn't think the sarcasm emoji was needed in my response, but yet here we are.

I didn't think it was needed, or what you said implied you saw a single event and hate all old people now.

I feel like people read to quick and miss half the words.

Great because of these series of jokes we're going to be called the Edmonton Hockey Club by next month!

You aren't beyond contempt for trusting that the federally elected officials are actually running country...

I resist even being affiliated with this comment in direct quoted reply. heh

i was being flippant. Thought I would try a somewhat humorous reply.

What? Are you kidding.
Soon we will be the "Soon to be Named Alberta Capital Hockey Club"

Kill them. Kill them all.

I thought this was about trusting a CBC journalist's integrity in context vs trusting a Dr.'s Hippocratic oath. No?

There's definitely a bit of shadiness and disingenuousness from both sides.

Can’t have Alberta in the name. Some people even hear Alberta mentioned and get triggered.

Yep, very true.

Ask me a silly question, you will get a silly answer.

I also now feel really bad for all the guys named Jack who frequent this forum.

This is what happens to me.

Oh THATS why the toilet paper sales go crazy during Covid...

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

B.C. adds record-breaking 887 COVID-19 cases, 13 more deaths

This man clearly has passed the point of needing toilet paper.

Plot twist: his pants are the toilet paper.

Pressure washer?

 

[Yukon Joe]

This is totally off. It wasnt Hinshaw that released any tapes. She is upset about it.

'Trust is broken': Hinshaw responds to leak of secretly-recorded meetings that show tension over Alberta's COVID-19 pandemic response | Edmonton Journal

Absolutely. My post was aimed at those cheer-leading the leaks.

 

[bellagiobob]

Trying to catch up here. So, in summary, CBC is reporting that there was a leak, and it happened at McDonalds, possibly due to a faulty Depends worn by a member of a group of racist geezers who used to play for the Oilers who are terrorizing coffee shops?

[Yukon Joe]

I seriously do not see that implication in his wording whatsoever. First sentence doesn't say who leaked it, just that it's a serious offense. The second sentence, suggests the outcome of the leaks could lead to loss of trust regardless of who leaked it, Kenney could believe that she leaked or that member of her staff leaked it, either way impacting trust.

Hopefully Yukon can confirm his intent.

I think you understood it, and @Drivesaitl misunderstood it. I think he and I are largely in agreement, even if he doesn't know it.

FWIW I did initially think Hinshaw may have been the one who was the source to CBC. Her response at the news briefing today makes me think that is less likely, because it has probably made her job much more difficult.

 

[MaxR11]

Wondering what people think of, according to someone close to Hinshaw, that Hinshaw referred to her relationship with the provincial cabinet as "an uphill battle". A reporter posed that to her today and she did not deny it. We all heard her answer which was definitely the "politically correct " one.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Running the country?

into the ground...
