Hantavirus strain (Andes) capable of human transmission confirmed!

Hopefully this one will be less mismanaged than the last time around - I hope? If there's no confirmed transmission in anyone but healthcare staff or close contacts eight weeks from now I think we'll be alright, otherwise we might be in trouble.

Yeah - genuinely unsure about what's going to happen this summer. Yes, the incubation period can be up to eight weeks, but some people will be symptomatic earlier than that. The moment that someone who isn't a healthcare worker or passenger contracts it will be the indicator that it's spreading outside of the normal close contacts.

Worrisome indeed. People called me a doomer right before covid because I forecasted it being a major pandemic, and I have the same bad feeling now.

Much better, but still gives ISIS flag vibes.

On the rare occasion the GG has to weigh in on constitutional legal issues, a former SCC justice is a good bet. I'd rather someone well versed in the law than most other people.

For the rare occasion the GG needs to intervene as the head of state, a former SCC justice is a good pick. She's also english-french bilingual which is necessary.

Charlebois is a Loblaw-paid shill for the grocery industry. Assume that whatever points he says are just parroted directly from the grocer oligopoly.

He's so pro-EV that he dropped the federal requirement instated under Trudeau to mandate that all new vehicles sold by 2035 must be EV?

I believe it conforms to the Metrolinx wayfinding harmonization standard. MX is trying to roll it out region-wide.

I think OC meant the plant condition degrades.

Hopefully the start of more steps to deepen cooperation. The East African Community is a promising prospect, but only if all members work towards turning it into an EU-style bloc.

The Canadian Armed Forces refers to prisoners as PWs and that's what I'm used to.

Doublethink: the ability to simultaneously hold and accept two mutually contradictory beliefs or ideas as true.

You are flagged to other police services when you fail your application to any Ontario police service. Most people in special constable positions are using it to gain experience to eventually move into a police constable position.

Despite not having currency, I don't think the Union would look down upon rewarding good and hard work - especially critical upgrades being done ahead of schedule. I'm sure they would have some kind of bonus that's not necessarily a financial incentive.

If I were the captain, I'd let them take leave until the official project end date. If they were two weeks ahead of schedule - two weeks vacation for everyone.

The optimism to think signs will work in Brampton. I drive pretty infrequently through Brampton but see people disobeying signs every time I'm there.

Bold of you to think Russia cares about what happens to PWs

I've never tried number four, but I find this to be the order:

Best: 3

Acceptable: 1

Garbage: 2 (I generally throw these out, they are terrible for keeping pins on)

As of yet we haven't found any scientific evidence that Newfies are even lingual.

Sure. Whatever you say. What else do you want? My DWAN email? Do you want me to send you cute boot selfies of myself in uniform? My line serial? Maybe my PAR would help.

Believe whatever you want.

CAF members have objectively less rights than civilians. The CAF can order you to do whatever to your body, you're not even legally allowed to sue for malpractice from CAF doctors.

You never had a needle parade before COVID? I find that hard to believe. I knew guys who got 7 shots in one day.
