Please don't use the National Post as a source. Jesus.

markcandler.bsky.social•79 days ago

The National Post is a tabloid rag. If that’s who you’re quoting. I question your values

markcandler.bsky.social•79 days ago

Do your homework. Canada did nothing of the sort.

heathcliff3.bsky.social•79 days ago

Seriously????? When you look around the world, when you look at what a shock it was for all nations you condemn Canada and its response? Fuck off already, this is more pandering to the cheap seats. Get a fucking grip.

charleyculture.bsky.social•79 days ago

If anything has failed it’s the Canadian media as a trusted source of accurate information!

heathcliff3.bsky.social•79 days ago

Well there at one time were rules in place for journalists that prevented blatant lies, but all news is owned by a small select group of rich shitasses now, and they determine what is consumed. Too bad,

We had one of the lowest mortality rates in the developed world. What sort of right wing malarkey is being pushed here? Our economy took less of a hit than most also based on bankruptcy rates.

mizannazon.bsky.social•79 days ago

Why are you spreading this tripe? The National Post is a conservative mouthpiece. Shame on you.

lovewildernessbsky.bsky.social•79 days ago

Who really cares what some nut with an opinion piece on the national puke has to say? These same idiots endorsed Trump while he was giving a hand job to a microphone ffs.

gwhtt.bsky.social•79 days ago

Americans died at three times the rate that Canadians did due to COVID under Trump.

National Post = 🗑️

caro-s.bsky.social•79 days ago

I disagree. Canada did not “flub” Covid. Thanks to the federal Liberal government, we did extremely well, economically and healthwise, when compared to most other countries, especially in light of all the unknowns of this novel virus.

The National Post is sister to The National Enquirer.

coloradowildflower.bsky.social•79 days ago

If only the US would admit their mistakes and fix them.

grandma77.bsky.social•79 days ago

I don’t think we ‘flubbed’ it at all, and if the maple maga idiots had worn their masks, our death toll would’ve been even lower…but noooo.

canadahealthwatch.bsky.social•79 days ago

Tbh, agree. Though an inquiry could still be a positive thing

overungerdunn.bsky.social•79 days ago

" In Canada, one-third of people looking back on it all think those rules went too far — and they’re right to feel that way."

No they are not.
This nonsense shouldn't be promoted.

annedf.bsky.social•79 days ago

I agree. Those rules saved lives. The National Post is a right wing mouth piece. Not a credible source.

canadahealthwatch.bsky.social•79 days ago

**Necessary context**

As of February 2022, approximately 279 U.S. residents had died of COVID per 100,000 people, compared to about 94 in Canada

davekersey.bsky.social•79 days ago

So just a thought, perhaps not platforming idiotic health takes would be a better option.

beachglassfan.bsky.social•77 days ago

Well, the National Post IS garbage, so there’s that.

davekersey.bsky.social•79 days ago

This is so National Post - in the first lines stating that 1/3 of Canadians believe COVID wasn't handled properly. You can probably find 1/3 of Canadians who believe cats can drive.

katcc.bsky.social•79 days ago

The people who think the govt overstepped is the minority as their own data shows.

NP sticking up for the cranks is on-brand

mcchisholm.bsky.social•79 days ago

just unfollowed you. we did really well. people believe what they will, and they will ignore the stats and facts to do so.

struward.bsky.social•79 days ago

Quoting the NP is embarrassing…🇨🇦

sansnom.bsky.social•79 days ago

Flubbing

lastcovidwave.bsky.social•76 days ago

All measures are a failure because we're still in the pandemic. We don't need an inquiry, implying/reinforcing it's over, we need action to end it NOW. #COVIDisntOver https://bsky.app/profile/smarch2020bot.covid.aktion.network/post/3ldg4q3n7k62s
