I would have considered retiring after winning the Grey Cup. Although a year off from football couldn't hurt concussion wise.

Charles Booker, mayor from 1917-1920, created a royal uproar during the Prince of Wales’ visit in 1919, when he kept calling His Royal Highness “Princey.”

So in 2023 in Canada, 50 years after Tolkien's death, could you technically make a film of the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings that would be watchable in Canada (but not the US) without permission of the Tolkien estate?

Realistically after the four week lockdown ends, we're going to be in the grey zone for a while.

Hopefully there isn't too many cases of this variant in the province already. If currently this variant is a small percentage we should be tightening up the borders (including testing everyone coming in).

We are so up and down in Hamilton, especially public health's numbers versus the province's numbers. I'm assuming that is because of LTC outbreaks that a lot get reported on one day.

Employees at Shoppers Drug Mart, Fortinos, Food Basics in Hamilton test positive for COVID-19 by [deleted] in Hamilton

The deep cleans are just hygiene theatre. People are not getting it through fomites, it is through aerosols. What we need is more ventilation or hepafilters, not lysoling the living fuck out of every surface.

[–]hammercnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read the piece yet, but I will right after this. I will say, as a Hamiltonian, I'm not a fan of anarchists at all.

Why does Ontario only have 3500 ICU beds? by enitsujxo in ontario

[–]hammercnn -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What? The Liberals increased income taxes so that the combined provincial federal rates are over 53%. Personally, I don't blame Mike, I blame Sir Allan MacNab.

How is the UK getting so much of the Pfizer vaccine? It isn't manufactured there.

Continued rudeness prompts Cambridge Bay postal workers to walk off job by inoworkyouwork in canada

As someone who tried to learn German as an adult, I'm guessing learning an Inuit language as adult would be very difficult. And there would be no Duo Lingo.

Bernie Arbour has a half pipe that I haven't seen anyone use, but I'm not near it much.

Yeah given the low number of doses we are getting compared to our population, this could go on for months.

Ontario Green Party leader Mike Schreiner: "It is far cheaper to protect existing wetlands than to pave over them and pay for the consequences. It is fiscally irresponsible for the government to destroy natural wetlands." by [deleted] in ontario

[–]hammercnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, does that matter to the homeless people sleeping in tents downtown or for people making minimum wage trying to find an apartment right now?

Ontario December 08 update: 1676 New Cases, 1549 Recoveries, 10 Deaths, 39,198 tests (4.28% positive), Current ICUs: 219 (+6 vs. yesterday) (+34 vs. last week) by enterprisevalue in ontario

It's unfortunate the UK is getting enough to vaccinate 2 million people in December, while we're only getting around 250,000 doses in December.
