Your MLA is the one you want to talk to on this issue.
Don't expect much but when you write your premier you're getting thrown into a pile with all the lunatics, plus all of the schoolkids with a "write your premier" school assignments, plus all the other lunatics.
Your MLA works with you and doesn't receive anywhere near as much attention as they'd like, the premier gets more than they can address.
The time for masks was late March when Kenny ordered the closure of all non essential businesses. Now is too little too late. Nenshi didn’t start wearing a mask until June when this masking push started.
I'm kinda torn on the issue. Covid is obviously blown way out of proportion, but people should have wanted to wear masks in the first place to just get this gone quicker.
Whats better? Doing the right thing because your forced to? Or doing it yourself with your own free will? We need to prove we deserve more freedom. Freedom was never a stand alone concept, it goes hand in hand with morality. Freedom without morality is just chaos.
Imagine wearing a mask holding a sign saying, "No mandatory masks!" Would really fuck with peoples heads, shows them you dont need to be forced into making good decisions.
And no, they're not damaging to your lungs. Doctors wear them all day.... and you only have to wear them in public spaces and when closer than 6ft. Wearing a mask in a grocery store for 20 minutes at a time isn't going to kill you.
Masks won't get this done quicker. What do you think is done? There is no done. Welcome to an endemic. This will never go away, period. Do you wear a mask for the flu if you don't have symptoms? No, then why wear a mask for covid-19? Understand that there is no done. This virus will never go away.
So just because it cant be eradicated completly, you dont want to diminish its ability to spread and mutate? I mean I guess that make sense if you've got evidence that'll itll mutate into something less harmful and give us an immunity from the deadlier strains. I'm not forcing anything on anyone, just kinda makes you look scared of wearing a mask. Which kinda looks even weaker than being scared of covid.
Do we do this for the flu or a common-cold? Why should we change our entire society around for covid-19? The costs aren't worth the benefits. The death rate is ~0.4% with the vast majority of people dying being over 70yos with pre-existing conditions. This is not a virus we change anything for.
I get what your saying, I'm just being real about still being ruled by retard government. The fact we got to this point in the first place is the real issue. Arguing about weather or not to wear a mask on your face because you think its harmful to your health is not honest. No ones gonna believe you that wearing a mask is damaging to your lungs, it hurts your argument.
This letter would have been better off with the stats you provided instead of the bogus "I cant breathe (good)" in a mask
Oh, I agree. Those against masks are right IMO but this is an issue of how best to govern a society. The government has no business restricting the liberties of society and legislating on a virus of this magnitude. If this was the black death or something then sure but covid-19 is not a pandemic the government should be legislating over. Sweden's death rate is already near 0 now and their economy actually was positive in the first quarter this year while most european countries were down.
The way our governments have been handling covid-19 is all wrong. The mask argument shouldn't be about whether it stops covid-19 or not or oxygen or whatever. it's about the fact that the government has been handling this pandemic all wrong from the start and more government legislation is not the solution. Let people decide for themselves what works best for them. There is no crisis to our society over this pandemic that needs to force the governments hand. Legislators just need to sit down and do absolutely nothing.
Were mostly in agreement, I'm against mandatory masks. But not masks in general, which is probably what you meant anyways as you seem pro-freedom/liberty which is really what we need more of. I'm just saying without reliable data it's more moral/safer to wear the mask without being forced to. Might even be able to sway some leftys to the right by showing concern independent of the states orders.
Depending on what you do for work you should be able to flat out say no, but I got a few people with underlying health issues in the office I work with, so I wear the mask just in case when I'm within 6 ft.
I work from home. It's stuff like mandatory masks at a gym, at a restaurant (doesn't even make sense) and walking outside that will get my blood boiling. If we're going to make them mandatory anywhere the only place they should be is grocery stores. I'll begrudgingly support that if I have to but everything else is a joke.
The reality is that the effectiveness of masks is highly questionable anyway the government really shouldn't be regulating anything to do with them. Most of the studies that test masks effectiveness and have a "they work" result, are ones in which people were coughing. The studies where people weren't coughing show statistically insignificant benefits to wearing surgical masks. If you have symptoms you should be wearing a mask but if you have symptoms you shouldn't be out at restaurants, bars, gyms, etc... Why should 99% of the population be forced to wear masks instead of focusing on the 1% of people who have symptoms that are engaging in bad behaviors such as going to the gym with symptoms? Also, keep in mind going to the gym even with a surgical mask and coughing still has a high chance of transmission. The mask is limited protection.
Overall, the government shouldn't be legislating anything with regards to masks and the general public should not be upset over asymptomatic people not wearing masks.
You right, I definately worded it wrong to sound slave-ish mentality lol. What i meant was we should show that we are already smart, humble, and moral enough with traditional Canadian values that we can easily squash any argument of someone who is trying to restrict our freedoms.
Welcome to the new religion, all praise covidiscislim! Hummmmmm hummmmmmmm , sacrifice the non believer! Wear the ornamental mask you heathens!

Nenshi is a retard. He started crying "raciss!!!" When he got spooked he wasn't going to get reelected for another term.. rofl.

Also... "NO MANDATORY MASKS"
Masks won't get this done quicker. What do you think is done? There is no done. Welcome to an endemic. This will never go away, period. Do you wear a mask for the flu if you don't have symptoms? No, then why wear a mask for covid-19? Understand that there is no done. This virus will never go away.
