β€œIt’s unfair to judge comments and decisions made in the midst of a pandemic, involving a novel virus, through the lens of hindsight six years later.”

You left out the rest of that sentence.

Most public health officials misjudged how easily the general public would accept misinformation from the anti Covid crowd. Their fatal flaw was not recognizing how organized the antivax movement was, and how quickly they would leverage people’s fears to build their own base.

It’s unfair to judge comments and decisions made in the midst of a pandemic, involving a novel virus, through the lens of hindsight six years later.

While that was the recommendation at one point, it was later revised as the virus was better understood.

Most of that is from the AV industry.

There is far more wisdom in the combined minds of the members of the house and Senate than in one dementia-compromised mind of the current occupant of the Whitehouse.

If you think Canada is β€œcreating the same problem”, you misunderstood my comment.

While Canada has a similar (though far less severe) issue with wealth disparity, our checks and balances on political power are still intact.

It’s far more than Trump. He just took advantage of the rot, laid it bare for all to see.

That one person, in under 6 months, could undo two centuries of alliances and good will, could tear up trade and defence treaties, shows just how weak and ineffective the US’s checks and balances have become.

The last time the Olympics were in LA was 1984, and were boycotted by 19 countries.

One wonders if 2028 may break that record.

French’s stepped in, buying from farmers abandoned by the farmers Heinz, with Canadian processing/packaging.

Heinz returned in 2022, due to consumer backlash. They are desperately marketing β€œmade in Canada” to regain market share but, even in the current β€œbuy Canada” era, they are failing.

The Heinz ketchup boycott is a fascinating case study, and serves as a lesson to US companies about Canadian consumers.

Heinz exited Canada in 2014, moving manufacturing to the US, using US tomatoes.

What if they pit Trump against Harris, a replay of the 2024 election?

She’d kick his ass.

That’s a pretty lazy way of avoiding the issue of his racism.

The better part of valor would be to admit your error and move on.
