I am not an expert on the virus but I don't think it smacks you in the face in one hour and then you are on life support. I would think you would feel the symptoms coming on over a day or two and people would be smart enough to get out of the wilderness if they feel symptoms.

I don't see any scenario when 22 people one day walk into their hospital on deaths bed. They may go to their emergency and be instructed that they should go to the nearest big city where they have better facilities.

The risk isn’t 22 tourists overwhelming the system. The risk is one tourist spreads it to locals. Those locals spread it to each other. It’s like the mini outbreak at a fast food restaurant. Employees didn’t feel sick, so didn’t notice symptoms, spread it to co-workers.

Anyway, I’d rather fight about Canucks cap situation, or Benning’s mismanagement of players and management...

NHL will jump directly into a 24-team playoff format. With that being said, it leaves the 20-year-old Hughes as the rookie-scoring champion.

According to EliasSports, Hughes joins Brian Leetch and Bobby Orr as the only two other rookie defenders over the last 80 years to accomplish such a feat. Let that sink in for a second. That puts the Canucks best defender in company with two first-ballot Hall of Fame players and complete NHL legends.

So why not close the camp instead of the tourism in that area? Don't both businesses have the right to make a living?

Why is it okay for those infected tourists to drive through Vancouver?

I think you see my point you can not pick and choose who has the right to make a living with non essential businesses.

Because like it or not, Vancouver is better positioned to deal with pockets of infection. More resources, easier access, shorter distances. To my knowledge, the borders are still “closed”, meaning anyone from out of province is supposed to self isolate for two weeks upon entry (other than essential services, like truck drivers etc.)

Parks are open for camping, but I’m pretty sure reservations have been limited to residents of BC. Maybe that’s changing with phase 3, not sure?

If people don't want to get the virus stay home. That includes Rubey's camp and the people who run the gas station and hotel five miles away from the camp. If you go to work or go camping and you catch CV19 the only one to blame is yourself.

That’s a pretty narrow minded view.

People need groceries (including you). This means people need to work in a grocery store. They can take all the precautions in the world and some jackass comes into the store to get a Mars Bar and infects them.

Grocery stores fall under essential service. Construction camps are not essential service. Restaurants are not essential service. Hotels are not essential service.

Actually, construction was deemed an essential service, hence they didn’t shut down. You are correct, hospitality was closed for in restaurant dining and has reopened on a very limited capacity. Many business still have not reopened, and likely won’t until things change further. It still doesn’t change the fact that “everyone” isn’t as lucky as you in their ability to stay isolated. Those grocery clerks need to work so you can buy depends (yes, that is an old person joke)

Point one Constuction is in no way an essential service. Someone got paid off very well.

Secondly I find it very hypocritical for anyone in an non essential business that has returned to work to be giving advice on how to flatten the curve. The amount of people that will walk through your restaurant spreading the virus will far exceed the number of people in a remote area in BC fishing on a river.

If you really are concerned about the virus then close your business stay at home and go out only when it is essential . Because every day your business is open and spreading the disease is another day I have to stay home. Otherwise all the other advice you are telling me about the waves of fishermen on that river overwhelming a hospital is just white noise.

Put your money where your mouth is

Too deaf


There is a difference of being deaf and calling out hosresh1t.


I get it . It is okay for Rubey to work but not his neighbors.

How many people work at Rubeys camp at any given time 10? 20?

Oh great, phase 3 expected next week.
I expect to be flooded with Canadians from all over the country.

Not a good time to be living in a small rural community, with the only river open for fishing, in BC.

Dr. Bonnie is making some bad decisions.

Lol you are clueless. I have a 14 year NFL vet living in my house in Scottsdale until I can go down. It’s pretty shocking to hear how it is. No distancing. No masks. They don’t give a (frank). He said I have a 98% chance of survival. Most Americans choose to take their chances and we do not care about a mild flu. Americans are far too relaxed and Bonnie is too uptight. Open the Godamn gyms and relax quarantine.

I have no idea, I’ve never been there. I’m also not sure he is saying other business in his area shouldn’t be open. What he is saying (I think) is that he is not in favor of a large swell in people from other parts of Canada where Covid containment has not been as good as it has here.

Also, you’re wrong about construction/contractors. There are plenty of examples I could give demonstrating the need for these people to be working, but it is what it is.

Several “high profile” NHL players living in the Phoenix are just tested positive. If Americans took this more seriously maybe they wouldn’t have over two million cases and over a hundred thousand deaths. Maybe if they took things more seriously you would be allowed to visit your own house by now.

Someone telling me that building a new high rise apartment is a matter of survival can go fuk themselves. You could not convince me of that in a million years so don't even bother trying.

He can avoid that big swell of spread by staying home and isolating because that hotel worker has as much right to make a living as he does.

You guys are back to work and that is fine but don't tell me it is not okay for the next guy to work.

Great mindset for the betterment of the community/health of people of your country. Americans, in general, are self-centered, and can't and don't want to see how their actions impact others. Growing real tired of being down here.

I thought you've spent the morning saying people should stay home and self isolate.
I'm confused by this take. I think you have talked yourself full circle.

How bout some hockey?

New blog looks at J.T. Miller, the parallels between him and Jake Virtanen, and the Canucks' abundance of right wingers...

I am staying home and self isolating . I am not also yelling at people to stop fishing on my river.

Seniors like me and you who chose to self isolate are doing it properly . I don't begrudge the people who want to get back to work.

It’s how Benning rolls. This team’s problem has never been its bottom of the roster roll players. Nothing wrong with Nic Dowd as a fourth line guy, but Benning needed to have the luxury of almost $15m on the 4th line. Now signing Stecher for $2.5 isn’t doable. If you take Stecher and Benn out of the depth chart, and move Rafferty and Brisebois up, where does the depth below come from? Are they in a better position in that scenario?
- 1970vintage

Sure if you like guys like Dowd and Gaunce good on ya I guess. But there is a reason they are career $800k players You honestly think when Benning Signed Sutter, LE and Beagle he had intended a 15 mil 4th line? lol I doubt how that was intended but you Benning detractors will spin it how you need to

Depth comes from all angles. Remember the whining about the Sedins being replaced as we had 'no depth'? Turned out ok hey? It will be the same with the D once Stecher Tanev and even Benn are gone. All will be well dude...

Never said it wasn’t ok for the next guy to go to work. What if the refrigeration unit at the grocery store stopped working? Or what if your wife plugged the toilet beyond using a plunger, or what if a local government bought an old hotel to get people off the street and the facilities need repair/maintenance before people can move in? There are plenty of real life examples of why tradespeople are essentially to society, just because you can’t fathom it doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
