Okay, so I live alone and am allowed to have two people apart of my bubble.

Can that be my parents or are they not allowed to see anyone outside of their house?

I mean if I have to commit to two single ladies, then so be it.

-People who live alone can have up to the same 2 non-household contacts for the duration of the restriction.

Sounds like that is open to pretty much anyone you choose. Personally I would go with two hot single ladies who enjoy each others company. ;)

I am smart enough to know I haven't lived through anything quite like this, and can make an historical comparison. Can you?;)
Yeah, try to follow along and connect the dots here.

Here's O'Toole attacking the response from the Liberal government
‘It failed’: O’Toole slams Liberals’ handling of coronavirus pandemic after throne speech

Here's a previous video of him doing the same earlier this year


I'll ask you again, do you TRULY believe an oppositon party, regardless if they're conservative, liberal, NDP would let ANY response to this pandemic go? It's not a hard concept. Politicians aren't going to magically start holding hands and singing Kumbaya.

  • Indoor close contacts must be limited to people in the same household
This was the confusing part as this is what is said right above.

You know I'm not going to put my parents at risk of a fine. I'll go with the ladies.

Now to find these ladies

I read those as two separate items. If there is more than one of you in the house, you are limited in your home to those who live with you. If single, you can have two others over who don't live with you. Doesn't specify that those two people also have to be single. I would read that as you are fine to have two people of your choice over.

I'm not saying and have never said an opposition party should be in step with every single thing the governing party is doing during this pandemic. But to pick apart every single little thing is not constructive or helpful. And that goes for O'Toole as well. There was a south asian country that did it earlier this year. (can't find the link for the life of me, but remember reading that portion of the article)

And I get it. All opposition parties do this. But this is unlike any other year, and this issue isn't public workers salaries, the price of oil etc. All very important issues, but this one obviously trumps it by 10X. As well, I'm not impressed with any politicians using people as props to try to gain brownie points, which is what Notley was doing earlier in year when senior institutions were under attack.

you can tell some people haven't stepped into a public indoor space in awhile lol

it's common knowledge that restaurants and bars are operating at half capacity

Its really weird to have a guy who has proclaimed multiple times that he hasn’t and won’t set foot into a restaurant until Covid is gone, lecture everyone on the conditions of restaurants and the restrictions in place.

I agree, there should be cooperation to resolve these types of issues. I might be jaded but I just believe it's unrealistic in our current political atmosphere.

I was sure there was an hour and a half presser yesterday, that explained everything in great detail, and the reasons behind it. But I must be mistaken. Continuing to divide us. Well done.


8hrs in meeting on monday, going through all details of pandemic response, also a presser on monday to update, Also on the weekend. Then close to 3hr telecast yesterday, much longer than hour and a half anyway, and complete with long question period.

But oh no, decline to appear on CBC to get carved by their specious knife. Oh the horror.

I'm sure after all the work the last thing the govt would want is another CBC attempted takedown. I mean we know thats going to be shit flying.

First question would be "Now that you've made all these changes can you tell us why its so reprehensible that you were the last province in confederation to yammer yammer masks, something. "

But anyway we can see from the oppositional camp that its constant attack mode. Its like reading parody.

it plays well though to people that are angry all the time.

It would be pretty unlucky to get paired up with one of the 12 guys in the world to participate truthfully in NNN.
First step would be to find out how to meet a girl in these conditions :(

I've only known the club scene

It seems the parties that worked the most closely together, little opposition and hand in hand....was B.C.

Then Horgan looks at his popularity numbers (great...because no opposition) and calls the election.

If the Federal parties did the same working together, Trudeau would do the same thing to try and capture a majority.

Sorry, don't mean to derail the thread, when I was a small child, a teacher told me "a politicians first job, at top priority, is to get re-elected"

I thought it was jaded at the time. I'm now almost 50, and nothing has ever been so true to me.

What about the mental health of our doctors and nurses working on the covid units? You think my husband enjoys calling family members and telling them their loved one died alone. His life has been nothing but covid for the last eight months. No one seems to care about them.

An overwhelmed ICU is why we need to lockdown. We should support businesses. Pay them to stay closed. There's no reason why casinos, restaurants and bars should be open right now.

Many of us are very aware of this and do care. I think the issue is that the gov has to draw a fine line here between tax revenue, business owners and employee needs, and how these business's are operating currently. They may have data to suggest that the 3 mentioned business's may not be as big a part of the problem as some suspect. I've been to our local pizza and donair joint and I see no reason whatsoever for them to lay off employees. I'm also assuming that there is also data that suggests these house parties that people are talking about are going on still and need to be handled. I've been to a couple of outdoor "events" at the beginning of lock down and I can confirm that not everybody is following discretion nor thinking about the health effects, both physical and mental, of anybody at all.

Hope you and hubby get through this OK.

EDIT: I see @Yukon Joe has the same thoughts on this...as probably many of us do.

I don't think either party in that tweet watched the presser, or they wouldn't have made the comments that they did. They just continued with the MIA talk from earlier, without actually listening to what was said.

Pretty long lineups at the Covid testing centers, gotta be some pretty girls there. ;)

Everyone looks attractive when they’re wearing a mask.

That’s actually one of the reasons everyone should be wearing a mask these days. ;)

Thank you for your husband's service during this difficult time.

With respect it is because of our health care workers that the government brought in these restrictions yesterday. People do care about them. But the government's resources are not unlimited and are pretty much tapped out. Our provincial deficit (the amount we spend more than we bring in) is supposed to be $21.3 billion. That is - Alberta's total revenue is projected to be $41.3 billion compared to expenses of $62.7 billion. That means for every dollar the government is spending they're borrowing about one third of that amount.

I don't know if Kenney's plan is the right one. I do in particular wonder about casinos. But I can well understand Kenney's reluctance to do a full lockdown.
I really don't want to debate politics. I myself was a long time supporter of the PC's but I simply cannot understand the Kenney or Shandro support here. They waited too long to do anything. They just kept harping on personal responsibility. Like, okay that doesn't do anything. Doctors and experts were sounding the alarm in September and they did nothing. ICU beds at capacity is bad. They aren't there yet but it's close.

When they finally do something it's half assed measures. I understand the debt and I understand that keeping businesses closed hurts people. I get all of it.

But here's what they did, they didn't put in a province wide mask mandate. Only in Edmonton and Calgary who already have that in place. Good, they limit private gatherings, but allow bars, casinos, and churches to continue at reduced capacity and at the same time close schools. That's the wrong message.

To me, this government has played politics a lot with this pandemic. Fighting with doctors, not using the federal tracing app, using the but Trudeau line when there's any criticism. It's a pandemic. Politics aside, this stuff should of been done three weeks ago. I'm tired of it.
