They've Released The Tests!



Here's the list of pharmacies across the province where the tests are available.

Make sure you use them right before you visit someone vulnerable due to age, co-morbidities, or immune suppression.

And, for reasons explained here, if you're visiting such vulnerable folks for more than a few hours,  test again a second time.

Meanwhile in Canuckistanian news...

The GStraight's Charlie Smith explains why, if that CASA thingy gets Canadians a national dental care system, we'll have Lotuslandian Dipper MP Don Davies to thank for it...

Speaking of the federal Lib-Dip CASA deal, Michael Harris keeps track of the screamiest of the screamers in the Tyee...

And, just in case you missed it, as the CBC's JP Tasker reports, even perpetual Red Tory 'rena rock frontman Jean Bon Charest raised his voice while wagging a finger at the deal...
...(F)ormer Quebec premier Jean Charest, said this "coalition" is "further proof that the Trudeau Liberals govern for themselves — not for Canadians.

"They will stop at nothing to keep power, even if it means buying themselves a majority," Charest said in a statement. "Canadians deserve adult leadership, not juvenile political theatre."...

Heckfire, even the word salad wonder strained a raised hand because she had something really, really important to say in her best Arnold Horshack voice:

And down south...

One of the prosecutors in the now collapsed SDNY case, Mark Pomerantz, explains that he quit his job in disgust because he believes the evidence the team gathered overwhelmingly points to felonies committed by D. Trump...

Can't figure out why the Republicans have been nonsensically and baselessly attempting to link Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson to child molesters during her confirmation hearing? Well, it would appear to be a play to 17th letter of the alphabet adherents. Although, in a bizarre twist, David Kirkpatrick and Stuart Thompson of the NY Times see it as a both siderish 'he said/she said' type deal in a piece titled 'QAnon Cheers Republican Attacks On Jackson. Democrats See A Signal.'   Gosh. Is reportage of this kind not part of the real problem?

Finally, just in case you were wondering what the next Fox News headline, courtesy the Russian Ministry of Defense, might be...Get ready for...'Hunter Biden's Laptop Biolab!'

Unrelated to this story, but much appreciated: thanks for restoring BlogRoll. It had become the entry point for my daily filter-feeding, and was greatly missed.

Sure S-B--

There were a couple of blogs on the old roll that I felt had begun reactionary. As such, I didn't want to be responsible for any amplification of the bilge they were pumping...Weirdly though blogger made it impossible to edit the old roll which is why I shut it down...Turned out that setting up a brand new settings worked.

Anything you want to recommend over there?

I cannot figure out why these politicians, both present and ex, among the rightish posters in the comments section, don’t understand that two parties making such an agreement as did the Libs and the Dips is very much allowed and within the rules of our parliamentary system.
Big Stevey H being one of the many beneficiaries of such a system.

Additional blogs?

It's gone semi-dormant in terms of its own new postings, but the blogroll at Dynamic Ecology [ https://dynamicecology.wordpress.com/ ] has good coverage of a diverse bunch of ecology-related ones.

I have a memory of a BC Liberal leader that was unable to get elected, so an existing MLA in an Alberta riding in BC had to step aside so the unelectable could get elected.

Does anybody care what Christy Clark says any more? Hasn't she been relegated to the dustbins of worn-out politicians?

RossK said...

Graham--

I'm quite that most know it's within the rules but cannot resist the siren's call of political expediency.

S-B--

Agreed that DE is well worth following...I'll add it as I see that J. Fox seems to be posting again with some regularity.

______
Chuck--

Indeed! Although I assume you are speaking of an OK riding?

______
Gordie--

Well, it would appear that Ms. Clark is doing her best to remain relevant at the lower rungs of the media ladder ...In podcast land.

And it will be interesting to see if Marky Mark's polling/focus grouping leads him to conclude that she is an amplifiable 'asset' in the coming CoV mayoral race. If not, then your GPS device might be right about that relegatory location.
