Canada is doing a great job all things considered.  Hell, I found myself saying "Fuck Ya Doug Ford, you're right" for the first time (and probably last time) of my life.

(Jason Kenney is still Kenneying, but only at 50%, so that's just fucking super for that little guy)

- laid off special assistant teachers

- cut rural doctors pay

- spend 1.5 bil on XL pipeline with loan guarantees of another 6 bil

7.5b to prop up a dying industry, that could have gone to education and health. What a moe ron.

I heard Japadog was trying to hire him as a celebrity vendor.

For an interesting goose chase, one should look up "2017 world bank pandemic bonds"

They could do up a special, like the 'Wasabi Kenney Weiner' dog.

Looks like Kenney stepped it up a level towards dictatorship by giving his govt the ability to create new law at a whim without having to pass reading or a vote in the legislature

It's OK though, because he will only pass the good laws.  s/

Gee, what happened to all the pneumonia diagnosis'...

Saw a vid with this in recently. Makes you think eh?

I am willing to bet that the explanation is boring.  What are you implying Shogun?

Let me put my 50/50 aside and borrow your razor then. One could easily speculate they are categorizing other deaths as covid. That's the easiest explanation.

I only skimmed this article but it's a quick explaination about the pandemic bonds.

And that is the last thing they want.

I think the easiest explanation is that it wasn't a very bad season for the flu/pneumonia to start with (see graph) and then it dropped at the beginning of the year after Christmas break as it always does (see graph).  This could be made more dramatic by the social distancing that is being practiced as that would combat all infectious diseases (see graph after week 9).  

I am not sure a national conspiracy is the easiest answer.  They are rarely easy.  You should think about that when you feel the urge to believe.
