Then why were Canada’s numbers almost non existent in the summer? The fact NZ is an island is 100% a factor. We can’t close our border completely. We simply are reliant on the US for many things

Ok, you're right in the sense that those are factors, but not the only factors.
Correlation is not causation.

Does it really have to devolve into name calling and ganging up this quickly?

I apologize if I have hurt your feelings. I will sit in the box for two minutes and feel shame.

NZ did a great job. Just pointing out it was more difficult for Canada

Agreed.
I honestly can't imagine what it would be like to be in the position that my friends/family in Canada are going through.

i'm just pointing out that part of the success that NZ had was due to going hard and quick with lockdowns, whilst Canada did a slower, less restrictive lock down.

Hopefully you can turn my criticism into something positive and constructive.

Because people don't listen and go against it constantly. a 4 weeks lock down may not do anything because without police/military enforcing it, people will still go out and make up excuses. If EVERYONE listened, and every country did it right, COVID would be gone in a few weeks. But it is impossible to get that many people to listen without threatening their life/financial wellbeing.

Not against you personally but that's always the excuse. Contrary to popular belief in here even here in AB lots if not most were following all the restricted mandates for the better part of a year. But yet here we are. Having a Police state for two weeks with everybody shut in and expecting it to 'magically disappear' ain't gonna happen. Kind of like the virus 'magically manifested itself' out of nothing in a wet market in China lol.
- LordHumungous

And while AB was keeping their cases low, Ontario exploded with cases and people travelled all over the country. You can't say a lockdown doesn't work if you let people who weren't a part of the lockdown into the lockdown area

So sounds like Beagle may miss next season as his injury is severe. Big for the club if true

I do believe the weather plays a factor. Also, they don’t share a border. Same goes for NZ.
- CanuckDon

The NWT closed our border. We've had a near-zero number of cases here, apart from dumbass Albertans who keep bringing it in to the mine camps, luckily they don't pass through any towns on their way.

I can't find anything suggesting this, but we could use a 3m savings.

Bo horvat is a wealthy dude that has a bubble of 35- 40 people. It’s 14 days, dude will be fine. Yes, I feel worse for a person in a studio apartment with a bubble of 1 or 2 that is struggling to pay rent. Is this confusing?
- CanuckDon

Yes, your attitude is confusing. No wonder people have issues with millennials.

Schmidt added to the protocol list. Running short of active roster players who are not on the list...

(Sorry, Don, I know you expected him to be last man standing!)

I may technically be a millennial but I have 4 homes and received no aid. So I’m not really one

Lol that sucks. I thought the fact Schmidt was unscathed while Myers caught the virus early was another ✅ for Schmidt and another X for Reuby

I’m not sorry if I hurt your feelings, you’re an A-hole.

I wonder if Dubas will call a press conference

My cousin called me last night, I haven't talked to him for 25 years and he informed me my Aunt died of Covid on April 2nd.
