All of these plans include taking the entire police budget that they cut and give it to black people or programs specifically for them, like that is ever going to happen or that white people would ever go along with such a plan.

This makes it a nonstarter before it even begins. Plus, the wealthier people will budget for and get private security (which in all likelihood be the same cops that just lost their jobs).

personally, i'm fine with forever protests. they just locked down a port in Oakland
if businesses are fine losing tonnes of money to protect a violent system, so be it
USA has more than 30,000 new cases today for the 1st time since May 1st
The world has more than 166,000 new cases today, breaking the record by more than 20,000
Not good
How much capacity of these ports does the US actually need? Plus, ports in Vancouver and Prince Rupert can handle a lot of capacity or through the Panama Canal.
It’s almost like a replay of the Reagan/air traffic controllers strike in the ‘80’s.
For the younger readers the air traffic controllers went on strike across the US, so the government kept flying planes with just the management/non union workers and the union caved. It destroyed the power of unions (except for police unions and a few other professional workers) and the unions still haven’t recovered.
Is there usually a lot of movement between the Atlantic provinces? Were people angry about being restricted from traveling over there?Even with very low numbers in Atlantic Canada with this Atlantic Canada "bubble" proposal residents from these 4 provinces will be able to enter each province without needing to self isolate for 14 days and can roam around anywhere. That to me is a huge issue and IMO is just asking for trouble after doing such a great job of keeping the spread under control here and is quite disappointing to hear.
That is a recurring theme around the world!I have a feeling the Premier, Health minister, and Chief Medical Officer who have been updating us here every day and has received huge amounts of praise for doing such a great job will soon likely go from hero to zero very quickly if this possible decision miserably backfires.
The air traffic controllers belonged to a union and the union went on strike. Who they worked for didn’t enter into the equation.no idea
dunno if the Reagan reference works since those were government workers
Are we really surprised given what has happened in last 2 weeks in the USA?
I would think the area from PEI, and the southern parts of NB and maybe Halifax would be the where most of the movement will be, imo. It’s mostly going to be business and family reasons for travelling.Is there usually a lot of movement between the Atlantic provinces?

There’s a lot of container ports around the world with lots of spare workers who would be willing to be a scab for a big bundle of US $ Dollars. These are good jobs in tough times, this is just stupidity, imo.

Essential workers obviously are essential and therefore have restricted striking rights. I would assume that the rest of the unionized workers could legally go on strike. Not sure and don’t really care, tbh.pretty sure it's 'illegal' for government workers to go on strike in the US
"Just a few bad apples"
You know how it's a crime to aid in a crime? Well, if you help a bad apple.. you're a bad apple.
This is grotesque. Why would they do this for any other reason than to protect themselves and others from footage of them committing murder?
I’m don’t really have a lot of faith in some of the epidemiologists surrounding this pandemic to be honest.I'm sure there's a small bits of that…..but this part has yet to hit fully.
Some epidemiologist said that the result takes a lot more time to show in the numbers.
Around 5 to 6 weeks according to her to see the real full effect cause it's not about those picking it up during the protest more than the ones they are going to infect in after that.
Let's say 1 infected persons gave it to 5 people in the protest.
Took about 1 week to show symptoms, another 3 to 5 days to get tested and counted
So after 2 weeks you only got 6 new cases. It takes more times.
Those 6 will give it to 15 persons, those 15 to 40 and those 40 will give it to 110 and so on.
Texas is burning right now and it's not because of their protests against racism….that's not where the party was.
But they were protesting like hell against the stay at home orders 6 weeks ago.
And the day is not over, the States are now at 31,798 today
Texas got 4000+ today
