Province(s) start lifting Covid 19 restrictions
- Thread starter justride
- Start date
If you owned a restaurant:
90% of your potential customers are vaxxed.
If you eliminated covid restrictions,(masks and vax I.D.) and lost 12% of the vaxxed you would be under your potential.
10% aren't vaxxed.
I don't know what percent of the 90% are that concerned with protocols. However if 15% of them had co-morbidities catering to the great unwashed could be detrimental to profits.
Personally, I'd boycott unrestricted restaurants.

You also have to take into account those who won't get boosted. So in 6 months or so what will be the "vax/unvaxxed rate"?
What about people who are getting vaxxed /boosted who don't support all restrictions; Which is something that is often overlooked and those people tend to be quiet about it to not be perceived as "a moronic conspirationist anti-vaxxer"
What about staffing requirements? As more treatment options come out (pill treatment, inhalers, etc) you will see vax rates slowly go down. Which will make it harder to hire or keep certain people hired.
In 5 years, we probably won't even be talking about vax status (unless another similar pandemic hits)
When the morons get kicked out of Ottawa, as measures being imposed to evict them are provincial, AB doesn't want them on their lawn.
We may be ok in the summer. Look to november for things to really get cooking again. Like the flu, this will have a seasonal swing. Obviously a particularly bad variant can mess everything up.

To be fair, it was the feds that destroyed their economy.
And themselves. They could have/should have had a monster rainy day fund. Instead they spent it like horndogs at the stripclub after returning from a rotation. When you put all your eggs in one basket and that basket is known to be volatile, you should try to do something to even out the swings. Not the mention the giant stinking turd that is orphan wells with only a few percent of the liability funded. I'm not sure who should be stuck with the bill at this point. Probably jack the rates on operating wells to catch up the fund over the next 30 years and then reduce the rate to make it self-sustaining. Basically the same as the condo reserve fund game where the original owners incurred huge unfunded liabilities and then got out before they got the special assessment.

Alberta is really a choice example of how to do the least with an asset. Giving away 95% of the revenue out of province, making zero plans for what happens if prices drop, spending almost no money on diversifying the economy, blaming everyone else when the bottom falls out. Albertans will bang on about low taxes, but that hasn't bought them anything except short-term gain. Albertans will also bang on about equity payments, conveniently ignoring the fact that Alberta was the poorest province in the country before oil, and that without it, Alberta would happily collect funds from BC and Ontario.
I know contrasting with Norway has been done to death, and it's not an easy apples to apples comparison, but there are fundamental differences in the mentality around whether the oil is finite or infinite. Heck, even Alaska has done a better job of keeping the wealth, keeping almost ten times as much per barrel if I recall correctly.
I probably said it before but reopening is a bit like the person that goes on a diet to lose the 20 pounds and as soon as they hit target they start pigging out again. We've seen less diligence with hand sanitizing and distancing although masks are still fairly solid
Agreed... I prefer the levelled or phased approach we have in Ontario.
This will work out just fine until it doesn't. At that point they are kind of screwed because there is little chance you are going to get the public to buy in again even if the infection, ICU, and death rates go through the roof.

Loosing Covid restriction seems like a mix bag of Science data and Political Survival. To me, Trudeau doesn't want neither.
Calling protestors a fringe minority that have unacceptable view are not what I accepted from the Prime Minister.
Also during question period. Trudeau offers no exit plan just keep on vaccinating
Candance Bergen got him good!

I call Fake news.
It’s well known the PM doesn’t actually answer a question during QP. Lately he’s also been prone to just walking out of of the room during questions from the opposition.
Sadly, that's the best tool he has in his toolbox. The whole "better to stay quiet and be thought a fool than open your mouth and confirm it" applies very strongly to him. Most people I know can't stand to listen to the pompous ass spewing lies. The last time I heard his voice he was speaking moistly.
Candace is a twat and her job is to beat down the PM when Polivouire has a sore throat. I'd walk out also on the never ending barrage with no better ideas , just a kick for trying anything .
And I'm a conservative.
Only thing more painful would be listening to Horvath drone on. Poor Dougie, probably wishes he kept a few blocks of hash from back in the day .

Why do you think he goes to the cottage and sleds around?
I'm one who checks covid stats on ontario.ca and Worldometer every day. IMO going the next step to loosen up in Ontario (taking away capacity restrictions for indoor dining) is defensible based on the number in hospital and ICU steadily going down. I think we will be okay. As for withdrawing proof of vaccination on 1 March ... hard to say. It will be hard to put that genie back in the bottle.
I know its a small thing , but 9,000 bars and restaurants in Ontario had to run out and buy a tablet and down load the "ontario covid passport" app to log in customers , yeah its only another $1000 for your small business but to throw out the system in less than 2 months ? yikes.
On the other hand they did give places like my yacht club 50K in grants and subsidies last yr. so whatever... thank you Dougie for thinking about the yachters !
