Didn’t Toronto just spike in cases?
- Doogs

Nope. Windsor, I think, spiked up big the past few days.

I doubt very much that there will be a Hub City anywhere in the US and the American fans can thank the liar, cheat and racist Trump for that

Oh so you support internment camps for those who refuse to take the vaccine?

"Re-education camps" eh


Interesting turn of events. How very accepting of others rights and freedoms you are lol

woah! did you just say your feelings are hurt? if you want we can talk about them.

Wonder if there isn’t a flyers conspiracy afoot. It would be a shame if they cancelled the season...feels like this was going to be the first of 5 cups in a row for the men in orange!!!

Oh well...cancel the season...keep everyone safe i say.

After all...4 cups in a row ain’t too shabby either!!!

Vegas?

Lord Nurgle is pleased.

A lot of loony conspiracy theories are used to discredit logical reasoning


I'm more concerned about the contents of the vaccine than I am micro-chipping. Like you alluded to they're already tracking us via technology. In places where gates vaccines have been implemented mainly in African countries it's caused a lot of bad side effects and even casualties. Sure there are allergies and everyone will react to vaccines differently but that's enough to make me skeptical of just blindly taking something the government tells me to

Then there's the videos of gates talking ad nauseam about depopulating the planet by 10-15%. So the guy who is in charge of the covid vaccine who has a very sketchy vaccine history also happens to be a huge proponent of depopulation and we are not allowed to question his intentions or the vaccine itself? (depopulation in the name of climate change, it's about CO2 emissions)


You can take the vaccine, nobody cares if people chose to take it but don't force people who don't want to or demonize them implying that they're antivaxxers or whatever you people call them to make them appear bad


I can't post a video here or I'll get banned again, but look it up, during his TED talk. Hell I'll probably get banned for this post

Habby meal?

Man, I enjoy an evening out and come back to see a tinfoil hat has taken over the conversation.

And the guy is from Canada. I thought you guys had your sh!t together up there?

Looks like it's Edmonton and Toronto...

Good. Hopefully that's true. Also noticed the players will have an "opt-out". That's good too.

Watched a rerun of the Ducks/Preds series last night, I am ready for hockey to be back, but only if it's safe. The hubs in Canada would be a giant step in the right direction.

Lots of talk trying to distinguish between US and Canadian perspectives. I have believed the difference is essentially the result of education.

In a recent OECD report, Canada ranked first in the world with 56% of their population having successfully completed two years of tertiary studies (community college, technical apprenticeship or university studies). US ranked sixth with a 46% rate of tertiary education achievement.

Although the difference is only 10%, it actually teases out to be a very significant factor in terms of political and social values. For example, poorly educated white men overwhelmingly support Trump where resentment is valued more than reason. Tend to be against something more than they are for anything.

Obviously, there are many resentful, bitter, uneducated folks in Canada. But, they seem more lost among multiple political parties and it is much easier to ignore them.

"I don't want to wear a mask because I don't know better" seems to be grounded in ignorance.

So, can anybody really be surprised that Vancouver said "no" to continuing a bid because they refused to guarantee to continue hosting the playoffs even if a flare up in Covid infections occurs.

The public support for Toronto being a playoff hub is fragile, at best. Can the Premier risk giving a blanket exemption to the NHL. I don't think so.

Are you guys having the mask issue like we are? I don't know how it happened, but wearing a mask has been equalled to giving up constitutional rights. On the surface, it's ridiculous, but people are becoming violent. There's always been the "Don't tread on me" nuts that would rather live in a bunker, but this is a whole new level of seemingly normal people who are flat out rejecting common sense. It's very frustrating.

Is the league going to test the players and hookers in Vegas?

The media has not stopped pushing fear.

More cases bc of more testing. But the death remains static in all places except one.

The spike coincides with BLM protests and there hasn't been an uptick in deaths so it would not be wrong to siggest the uptick in cases comes from young people protesting who might get sick but are not dying without underlying health issues.

Just bc someone who appears healthy and is young dies does not mean that they did not have an undigniasoded underlying health condition.

The narrative does not councide with the science nor the data. This appears to be more political in nature.

That’s only a partial explanation. There are deep philosophical differences. The concept of personal freedom being more important than the collective good s much stronger in the US than in Canada. Canada had always had a collectivist mentality.

Partly related to that there really hasn’t been any politicization of the medical response to the pandemic. There’s been some differences on how to direct government support to those hurt by it but even that much on that.

The differences in education are real but also reflect these same philosophical differences. Education in Canada is seen much more as a public good and has worked to support social and economic mobility. In the US, not so much.

Of course, guys like Komi are embarrassing outliers.

Wearing/not wearing masks are more a reflection of a lack of courtesy and commitment to people around you you than philosophical issues here. Also, case levels are much lower so people don’t have the same level of worry.

Congrats, dead wrong in every point. That takes some effort

The spike also coincides with reopening too early. In fact, there's more empirical data that this is the case than not. Though most predicted there would be an uptick, what they didn't foresee is people treating reopening as if the virus was no longer a threat. Beaches, gyms, restaurants, bars...this is where you're seeing the spread. Some cities/states are having to shut down again.
