Well, its officially become crazy down here.

There is a recall petition underway that already has about 90% of the signatures required for to get rid of Newsom and have an election, so he is basically fighting for his political life. Even the Democrats are jumping in.

The problem is that the guy is treating his office and staff to lavish dinners with 20-30 people attending, and lavish gatherings of 400 – 600 people in Napa, hobnobbing with his pals and the Hollywood Elite.

No masks, no distancing, yet this is defiance of his own lockdown orders he has imposed on the rest of us. In the words of George Orwell, I guess “some pigs are more equal”. Unbelievably arrogant

So, in an effort to save his own ass, he’s lifting the shelter at home, at a time when there are over 16,000 new cases and 600 deaths a day. Unbelievably stupid.

He was touted as the Democratic front runner for the 2024 election. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot…
FML talk about tone deaf. That’s insane.

It's done here too. They are just smart enough to keep it out of the news most of the time.

The Jasper Park Lodge was block booked for nine weeks and I wondered if that was going to be JT and his cabinet taking a much-deserved break after a year of wanking it. It turns out it is The Bachelor so we thankfully are not footing that bill.
 
Wiarton; Thats' where I camp when I ride trials at Clive's place :cool: Bluewater campground has a little museum and the whole bit, great access to ice cream and dog walks, you can sail your remote control sailboats in the harbour(y)
 
Both Ro Khanna and Kevin de León have expressed their interest to run, and Chamath Palihapitiya - who is a Democratic Mega Donor - has already thrown his hat in.

In a recall, its first past the post so if a number of Democrats run there could be a Republican Governor, I think the last one was Arnold... "I'll be back"
 
From a non-official but reputable source, schools opening soon. I doubt he would blow the capital he has built without being reasonably certain. Family day is Feb 15. He also says some boards that are allowed to open next week may punt to after family day.

I am not commenting on whether this is the right or the wrong move as it is complicated and imo, there is no clear "right" approach. Staying closed has major implications (both positive and negative), opening has major implications (both positive and negative).

When is an announcement supposed to take place? If any.

Lecherous is supposed to make an announcement this afternoon.

In other news, starting today, our daycare checks every kids temp four times a day. That is in addition to the one required at home before they come in. Four daycares in the area have covid outbreaks. :/

What does checking 4 times a day do?

Makes more work for staff? I don't know. Seems like more theatrics without too much reason. If the temp is over 100.0 (they used to have it to two decimal places for complete stupidity) then I assume you get the boot and need to wait 24 hours to see if additional symptoms develop and/or get a brainpoke.

The one situation that would likely be caught is parents that drug their kid in the morning to drop a fever so they can get in the door. Daycare and Health Unit tell you not to do that, but some people don't listen.

I guess I am not devious enough to think of things like that. Though if that were the case I would think it is too late even if they have a high temperature as everyone who had been in contact with the child would need to be tested.

Heard "hygiene theatre" mentioned a while ago and thought it was aptly put. So much if it just seems like theatre, putting on a show to look like you are doing something when really it is nothing at all.

I am completely with you. I asked daycare staff and they are on the same page as well. Unfortunately we are all passengers in this mess so we either play along with the stupid rules or withdraw from society completely.
 
Two women standing a foot apart with no masks on arguing with an officer 4 feet from them about social distancing bylaws. Yup, you’re special. The rules only apply to other people.


I'm not sure that video is having the effect the guy hoped. More entertainment this morning for me though. I wonder when people will understand how infectious this thing is. Plus now we have the added issue that the longer it’s transmitted from person to person the higher the likelihood that we end up with a new variant.

"It's really unbelievable that you are here today telling us what we can do in our home"???? Looney-tunes. A Public park is not your home. Go buy your own land if you want a private toboggan hill that you can't be kicked off of. I would not make a good cop. Dealing with stupid and/or bad people all day would be more than I could handle.

Why did he need to get right in peoples face to do it? Why would you not use a loud speaker they all have and disperse the crowd in an orderly fashion? :unsure: Less chance of transmission for everybody, everybody gets the message at the same time.
 
That's for the ones that don't disperse

He wasn't in their faces. He was wearing a mask unlike the self entitled idiot snowflakes. They should have all been given huge fines.
What's your name and badge number! **** off moron.
