all you need are yearly check ups

Good luck with that. I've found that doctors are too busy to give "just a checkup" for adults. If you show up to the doctor's office and say "I'd like a checkup," they will respond with "What's wrong?" You CLEARLY aren't in a doctor's office if nothing is wrong, because then you'd just be wasting the doctor's time!

I don't think I've been in a doctor's office for six or seven years.

Why the fuck is this a metric? Who determines what this even means?

My sister got chicken pox, and my parents and grandparents did exactly that. They let me hang out with my sister so I could get chicken pox as well. I got it the week after her: she was off school for a week, and then I was. I forget how old I was at the time. Maybe six? Of course it sucked at the time, but when you're an adult you realize why they did it and you're grateful.

I'd say the problem is more foreign ownership. Look at new condo buildings, and there's maybe one light on per floor at night. Most of the units are owned by people in China who have no intention of staying there. Government response is to raise taxes on foreign-owned property. "Yes, nobody can afford a house, but at least WE get more money. So it works out!"

drones can be used to collect data in areas such as monitoring wildlife

Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what they'll be monitoring.

I like one person's idea of renaming the street after Hugh Dundas instead of Henry Dundas.

Hugh Dundas is still white. It'll only be a couple of years before they dig up something racist on him and they're back at square one.

I remember when Doug Ford was trying to push "Back to Basics" and wanted teachers to pass math qualification tests in response to shitty math scores from our students.

And here we are.

Men/women/other? By "other" do they mean "data not available?" Or did police really shoot 29 people who don't identify as either a man or a woman?

What people should read: The vaccine is ineffective!

What the government will read: Better lock everything down until we can get a Delta vaccine!

"would suggest its rate of transmission is higher than other variants".

Yes. That's how viral evolution works. They evolve to become more transmissible, and they do that by becoming less lethal. I'm sure that won't stop governments from using it as justification to lock down more.
