Yeah, that's why I don't bother anymore. It's so dumbed down.

Conservatives Would Win 2019 Federal Election If Held Today: Poll

If the Huff ComPost is running with this it must be accurate.  Good news is that Mr. dress up will most certainly screw up before October again.  Nice hair though...

Oh good, another man speaking for a woman while calling himself a feminist.

Since the government has fully lifted solicitor-client privilege and cabinet confidentiality, how about we wait until we hear what Wilson-Raybould has to say today?

Almost 20% fewer people below the poverty line since the Liberals took government, including almost 300,000 fewer children in poverty.

But I saw a meme on Facebook where Trudeau looks like a foreigner so these facts don't matter.

Also, the national unemployment rate is the lowest it's been in about 4 decades.

Vancouver must be ground 0 of the anti-vaxxer and definitely idiot movement...

I don’t actually think that Vancouver is ground zero of the antivaxxers. I would suspect that some of the more cloistered, so to speak, communities in the interior would be higher. It was an unfortunate series of events that led to this pocket of infection, but that’s what people need to realize - where immunization rates are not high enough AND there is an exposure, there will be trouble.

Forgot to add - I’m in favour of this proposal, from what I’ve heard so far. 

PJ_Soul

I actually don't think the proposal goes anywhere near far enough. I think vaccinations should absolutely be mandatory. More than mandatory. I think it should be illegal not to get your kids vaccinated and I think kids who are being prevented from getting them by their parents should be removed by authorities and vaccinated against parents' wishes. Public safety normally always comes before individual rights. I don't know why that shouldn't 100% be the case here, where it's actually MORE important than in most cases where we completely accept that concept.

HughFreakingDillon

I have no issue with kids being barred from attending public school if not vaccinated, but "removed by authorities and vaccinated against their parents wishes" sounds a little, I don't know, INSANE.

Not as insane as allowing rampant, deadly, preventable diseases from coming back into society and risking innocent lives just because some parents are too irresponsible and idiotic to do the bare minimum to keep that from happening. Not even close. Keeping unvaccinated kids out of school doesn't protect society from them. Not unless the kids are also banned from all public spaces, which obviously is a much worse option than making vaccinations a legal requirement.

Sometimes drastic measures must be taken to save innocent lives.

HughFreakingDillon

forcing someone, much less a child, to do anything to their body against their will goes against every fundamental human right. look, I get it. I don't want this shit coming back either. But you do it through education.
