Brickbat: Let Nothing You Dismay

Dr. Theresa Tam, chief public health officer of Canada, says Christmas caroling is unsafe. Tam says that even those who are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 should stay away from indoor singing this year. She says if people do attend any indoor events, especially those where people might be singing or talking loudly, they should open windows and wear masks.

Well, it's not like it gets cold in Canada, in the winter... so opening all the windows shouldn't prove a concern.
How does this square with Canada's Glasgow commitments for lowering carbon emissions?

Unless, of course, you're singing to the glory of our new Savior: the Vaccine.
Or the other approved Messiah: Social Justice.
Or if you are a member of the overclass... Then you need only mask up for the camera and you are all good.
Am guessing the hairdresser exemption still applies.
But no singing.
You don't understand, Cyto. Rich, important progressives are smarter than ordinary people and know exactly what to do to lower the risk of transmission.
Enlightened Democrats will think of masks as veterinary cones for the proletariat.
PSA: Spay and neuter all progressives
"...masks as veterinary cones for the proletariat"
Well done sir!
Confession through projection?

Soviet era Pravda and 1930’s European blood libel is a bad combination.
Holy shit. What are the ten stages of genocide again?
From the CNN piece:
"I'm not suggesting we start racially profiling White men. The vast majority of White men are no menace to society."
Translation: we have already pushed racial profiling of white men, who are are a menace to society.
Am wondering how an angry white man can be blamed for a red SUV in Wisconsin.
Who designed the gas guzzling murder machine?
I believe it was a Ford. And Henry Ford was white. So clearly racist because #feelingz. Hopefully the Biden regime bans all government purchases of Fords. And California arrests all white men driving Fords since it is clearly white supremacist signaling.
The first thing that popped into my head watching the news was how will this event be tied to white supremacy?
So when do people start crossing the street, locking their car doors, and clutching their handbags at the very sight of me?
So looking forward to my thug [white man] life!
Just more bullshit from the chattering class.
Given that Canada gave us Anne Murray, Loverboy and a William Shatner album, Canadians should avoid singing period.
Take off, eh?!
https://youtu.be/8Jm4LoOaAWI
always loved "this is the hit single section of our album"
Don't forget Alanis Morrissette and Justin Bieber.
Although William Shatner's cover of "Common People" was amazing, and better than the original. The best cover since Johnny Cash covered Nine Inch Nails "Hurt".
Turned a Britpop song into an anthem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ainyK6fXku0
It starts off slow but really becomes excellent.
This is Hasselhoff territory:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AB3uVARNhmM
Or Nickelback. Seriously, what’s up with music in Canada, eh?
fight. the. good. fight.
Hey! They also gave us Gordon Lightfoot, Stan Rogers, and Corb Lund!
This is a good example of why the progs love Covid so much. It's the perfect tool for taking away everything in life that brings joy.
They truly are the root of all evil in the world. Now if only something could be done to solve the Progressive Problem. Like a Final Solution.
Nah. Helicopters work fine.
Covid works even better.
With a kill rate of less than 1%?
I think not.
I wonder what the percentage would be if those under 25 years of age and the vaccinated were excluded from the equation?
I wonder what the percentage would be if only people that died were included?
Hey, asking stupid questions is more fun than I thought!
The screeching of Jesus freaks brings joy to whom? Roman emperors at the arena?
Still have your Waukesha boner going?
Jesus man, she gave some advice. You guys will find anything to whine about. Here's what she say, you made me click the link:
"In the wintertime, going inside with a lot of people shouting and singing is not the best idea if COVID is circulating and accelerating outside your front door,” Tam told reporters.
Tam also advised that anyone gathered for an indoor event this winter — even fully-vaccinated people — should keep their windows open, “particularly if ventilation is not optimal.”
You are such a weakling.
Canada. In winter. Think about how open windows may be incongruent with this.
>>Think
dude.
Have you seen a basketball or hockey game lately?
Uhm, Caroling *is not* an indoor activity.
Easy for ND yanks to say in the balmy comfort of -10ºF. In Winnipeg that comes to -23ºC!
Wear the proper clothing and -10ºF = -23ºC is comfortable. But -40ºF = -40ºC is _cold_!
Why are all these nanny public health officials women? And why are all these women inclined to paranoia and over-protectiveness?
Uh, Fauci?
nanny public health officials women
...
Uh, Fauci?
I'll allow it.
Why are all these nanny
public health officialscollege deans women? And why are all these women inclined to paranoia and over-protectiveness?They don't call it godless Canada for nothing! Murrican mixed-economy tradeoffs force us to put up with ku-klux Texicans bullying pregnant girls and federal looters robbing us to pay narcs to kick in the doors and add a pacifying spray of bullets within. Neither of those things happen in Canada. National socialists have gotta find SOMETHING to whine about, so noise-abatement ordinances it is. Father Coughlin would've been proud.
Just how old are you?
You hitting on him?
Hank and I go way back.
lol.
If only Kevin Spacey had asked that question...today he'd be $31 million richer.
Spacey thinks he got a bad rapp.

you people joke but didn't like all the Ottawa Senators die just last week?
I thought the Senators were on recess. Hmmm.
don't know if the Senators *can* recess they're historically awful.
They should be moved to Quebec City.
She does know basketball and hockey are playing in front of crowds again right?
