We always knew it was wrong (said the people who wanted to create one way sidewalks), and were promoting the dude with sticks trying to show how wide 2m was.
Repeat after me class, we were always at war with Eurasia.
Yes, there was every indication that it was false back in March/April 2020 because somebody actually did some reporting and it was actually in the news briefly. Moreover, it's just common sense that droplets wouldn't have a strict two metre limit and that it was a gimmick all along to make people feel that they could be reasonably safe when shopping, etc. Masks aren't 100% effective either. Both of these facts are why some of the more sane countries like Sweden were never complete dickheads about mask mandates and social distancing.

Who did some reporting? Show me, don't just tell me. Otherwise you could be making it up.
It was actually in the news briefly.
Where? When? Show me, don't just tell me. Otherwise you could be making it up.
You saying some stuff is not good enough without a link to some kind of proof.
Wow. Most provinces have conservative governments, right?

If you're a cast-in-concrete-CBC-hater read no further....
If not: remember that CBC reports stuff, and a lot of that stuff is what other people say. At the beginning of the pandemic they reported what the public health agencies were saying: two-metre social distancing. On Nov 26 2021 a general interest science program interviewed a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who says she "tried to alert the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that her research proved in 2014 that their guidance to stay two metres away from others to avoid large droplets from coughs or sneezes was outdated." https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks/snapping-science-male-pregnant-seahorse-placentas-astronauts-in-labrador-and-more-1.6263003/this-canadian-physicist-knew-years-ago-that-infections-like-covid-19-could-be-airborne-1.6263011
To me it's reporting rather than promoting.
Repeating a false claim is not reporting.
Only if you know it's false.
There's no indication that's the case here. They're just passing the message on from others. Like most of .win.

Can you support that statement?
The thing that tells you the sun and moon go around the Earth.
USA deaths per million residents: 2,416
Sweden deaths per million residents: 1,485
Canada deaths per million residents: 778
Yes.

You lost me. Let's start over. You said:

Where? When? Show me, don't just tell me. Otherwise you could be making it up.

Yes, all pulling in different directions: https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2021-03/BSG-WP-2021-039.pdf - https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2021.708903/full. What does that have to do with the CBC's reporting on social distancing?
Yeah, you're lost alright.
