I think cabinet is at odds with the health officials. Likely Ford and co. wants to let it rip and open up, health officials do not. That's why we get this constant back and forth. I have my doubts that kids will be in school by Monday. At our current ICU growth rate we'll be over 500 by then.

The pandemic has pushed travel nurse wages up significantly in the US: U.S. Travel Nurses Are Being Offered as Much as $8,000 a Week - BNN Bloomberg $10k a week is definitely the top end but it's not totally unheard of, especially if you have ICU experience.

Average RN pay in Ontario is roughly $35/hour, which tops out probably close to 45 or 50 with OT. That's before taxes and union dues. An RN in Florida makes $33/hour before OT, in a state with no state income tax, in a currency that's worth ~30% more than here, and probably has good health...

The unvaccinated clogging up hospitals is definitely a bug in universal health care which we're all feeling, and it's pretty disgraceful. But there are two sides to this coin -- people forget that here in Canada the government has a monopoly on health care, at least ICUs/hospitals. There are no...

Any province that imposes mandatory vaccination will have a charter challenge on their hands very quickly. If I had to guess, Quebec will be the first one to try it. The feds could also quasi impose it by denying healthcare transfer payments to provinces that don't do it, but that may or may not...

Sadly, accidents happen. RIP.

Oh I'm well aware, I was referring to the ~hour of daylight you usually lose in the mornings when the clocks jump forward.

Yeah it gets progressively better all winter and then in March we roll it back by an hour. I find March is the shittiest month because of this, and also because everyone gets excited about spring only for it to snow the next weekend.

Yes, but it's also important to remember that their population's average age is 30. We should probably look at the UK for a better idea of what's coming -- so far their ICU is staying relatively flat.

Moderna has a different dose quantity: 100 micrograms dose 1, 100 micrograms dose 2, and 50 micrograms for the booster (Pfizer is 33 migrograms per dose regardless). There's also some evidence that Moderna effectiveness doesn't wane as quickly as Pfizer. Also the mixing and matching wasn't...

Thanks. I got Moderna so would like to continue with that, apparently their boosters are formulated differently than Pfizers

Gotta love that two tiered citizenship. Anyone know if they are trying to match the booster to your second dose? Would prefer not to mix and match if possible.

Not legitimate ones though I bet

Back when us civilians were nearly equals with police, instead of subjects to be ruled...

Yes they've started with the brine, they did the Bloor West area on Monday already.

Thanks for the tip, I think I'll try my luck with a paint shop matching the paint.

If it were up to the City of Toronto they'd let them run wild and proclaim that "animals are part of our natural environment and we need to get along with them". At least that's their excuse for the mangy coyotes they refuse to cull, who instead get to die slow agonizing deaths in public parks.

There is a company out in Niagara that lets you rent them: https://www.thetrikers.com/polaris-slingshot I believe Ontario considers them to be cars, otherwise you'd need an M license to rent them.

I'm looking to get some paint for my bike (GSX-S750) to repaint a section of the gas tank. According to Suzuki the colour is YSF - BLUE. I've googled around and the closest I've found is this: Suzuki YSF Metallic Triton Blue, but I'm not sure if the YSF - BLUE color is the same as the "metallic...
