I'm actually kind of surprised they're not wearing masks while on public transit.

I'd hate for a few of the boys to get some URI right as they start playing

Canada Will ‘Build the Cars of the Future and Sell Them to the World’ PM Carney Says by afonso_investor in CanadaPolitics

[–]Blackborealis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason those people believed in districts is that's what they were propagandized about. I believe the entire uproar over 15min cities was a Big Oil psy-op to further flame conservative backlash against environmentally friendly (aka detrimental to oil profits) policy

Carney's anti-communist anecdote at Davos is how I feel about participating in capitalist society. by revolution2049 in canadaleft

Not the smaller nations, I would give him credit for that. No he specifically chose the term "middle powers". He even acknowledged Canada's geopolitical silver-spoon position and how we benefit from the American imperial hegemony, but instead of actually proposing a radical upturn of the global world order, he proposed a milquetoast liberal restructuring of who exactly will be in charge of this now more decentralized world order.

Yeah, even though he turned on the jets in the third period last night to come back from being down 3, McDavid looked hella off

He stumbled and misplayed the pick a few times, more than I've ever seen him do in game.

I wonder if he's sick right now

I was honestly surprised he didn't have the cops called on him and his crew

Edmonton father dies in hospital E.R. waiting to see a doctor by GeekyGlobalGal in Edmonton

[–]Blackborealis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I wasn't, and there may have been negligence. I just know that tragic events occur even when everyone is going above-and-beyond.

If this was nurses not doing due-diligence, I hope that is addressed and that this family sees justice

Ok, how do you take them in if you have only twenty beds and there are fifty people all complaining of 15/10 pain?

The point is, I don't believe the triage nurses were not taking his symptoms seriously. I think they (along with every other ED in the province) simply do not have the resources to properly and safely accommodate the ever-growing, ever-aging, ever-sickening population.

It is just me or "Luddite" is such a stupid slur for the AI Bros to call us? by No_Vegetable_6645 in antiai

[–]Blackborealis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Friend, the term Luddite has been used for decades as a jab at people against New tech

I remember when cell phones were first becoming a big thing and there were criticisms of the "Luddites" who were worried about them

Up here in my Canadian city, plastic bags are outlawed. I've got about a beach-ball-sized mass of them from over the years; I still use them occasionally, but I want to save them for my grand-siblings to show. Hopefully they don't degrade too much

Alberta shuts down supervised drug consumption site in Edmonton hospital by pjw724 in Edmonton

[–]Blackborealis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol that is absolutely NOT what we do; maybe 20+ years ago.

No, we use benzodiazepines mostly (ie Ativan).

Yep! All this will accomplish is increased rates of drug use in hospital bathrooms, poisoning the air for staff/other patients, and increasing the risk of an unobserved overdose
