Agreed. And for that there are observers (Republican and Democrat) who are present during that process. part of my point, though, is that whomever is at the wheel, another will inevitably shout "FRAUD!"

This has been tossed around quite frequently in the current and past elections about dead voters and fraud. Either someone is really asleep at the wheel for it to have been going on for so long that it might affect election outcomes, or it's a smokescreen. Observe: Press: "It's really happened...

It was a bit of a loaded question.

What are "legal votes"?

I understand that. Maybe encourage some response from her so it doesn't look like drive-by posting? But it's all good :) And if it drives traffic, all the better

I've noticed that a certain member is posting random polls/questions - almost spamming the forum (imo) with a link to an external forum in the poster's signature. The OP does not (or rarely) post in the threads they create. Are there forum rules for advertising one's own website, and is this a...

Meanwhile in Ontario: Data Error means Ontario Reports Just 1009 New COVID Cases, Almost Half In Toronto

As I'd said either here or in another thread, I agree that the U.S. doesn't have a monopoly on "we ain't got this". B.C.'s health minister was held up as the model of "how to handle COVID" a few months ago. Now that things are on the uptick again she seems paralyzed by what to do other than, "do...

Trudeau Joins G20 In Promising Aid To Poor Nations, Rejecting Protectionism And, again, money is going out to protect others in the midst of our own crises. I DON'T want to see China even mentioned in this crap. But, you know, taking care of our own is "protectionism". smh...

Oaky, so I followed the "mandate" and wore a mask in Starbucks. There were no seats inside (so I thought) so braved a bit of a chill outside. It's not bad - I'm hooded and have ear warmers. But APPARENTLY I could have sat three feet away from someone else inside with no issue as another person...

Having an American Thanksgiving in Canada has been a bit weird, but I'll be prepping a turkey breast probably and watching some football. No big gathering planned. The only thing this year that makes it different is that the Lions aren't playing the Packers OR Bears. That's just wrong... I'd...

I'll wait to see the efficacy of it and potential side-effects. This is being rushed. I'd be content taking precautions that I think I need to until then

The "restrictions with voluntary compliance" is laughable. it's the same here. Government, businesses, Walmart, restaurants can "require" masks and ask that people "follow the arrows as marked on the floors", but compliance is voluntary. Then, when you're either seated or sufficiently far enough...

I agree here. In B.C. there are restrictions for all of two weeks with the hope of "bending the curve". And two weeks will do... what? But I suppose that restrictions are supposed to be some panacea - some belief that the officials are "on top of it"

You make a good point with fatalities. Someone who presents with chronic medical issues that may have contributed to their death, but was infected with COVID at the same time, may be ruled a death due to COVID without consideration of other health risks/factors. If, say, someone presented with...

You're correct about all of this, and should absolutely question it. However, any supporters of any cause should be taken to task. Why only Biden, except that he may not be to someone's liking?

PLEASE NOTE! This thread is not intended to address whether COVID is myth/fact/the flu/based on manipulated numbers, etc. It's meant for discussion on stats for your area and the overall response to these stats. PLEASE read the OP to get a sense of what I'd like to discuss. Thank you. So COVID...

As I recall, there was some conjecture in the press in 2016 that, perhaps, enough electors could go rogue in this manner to overturn the result for Trump as President Elect. Wishful thinking, I believe, as the public was in a state of collective shock And, you're right - it is a rush to give...
