Calgary Flames Fans Debate Vaccine Requirements

This thread may be the biggest shit show in the history of CalgaryPuck, a Calgary Flames fan site/message board I’ve been reading since 2001. What starts as a discussion of the Jets announcing they’ll require proof of vaccination devolves as a series of antivaxxers keep popping up to make all sorts of logically and factually […]

What’s The Easiest (and Hardest) Olympic Gold Medals To Win?

With the Summer Olympics on, I can’t be the only person with this question. (Of course, I broke my wrist going off a bike jump a couple years ago and broke my leg playing beer league hockey about a decade ago.  So maybe sports dominance isn’t in my future, no matter how “easy” the sport?)

Happy Fourth of July! (And Where Would Sask Rate in Fully Vaccinated Rate If We Were A US State?)

  On July 4th when President Biden had set (and missed) a goal of 70% of Americans receiving at least their first vaccine, this list of where states are at in terms of full vaccinations is interesting (and probably not surprising) . In case, the link dies, the top 3 are: Vermont (66%) Massachusetts (62%) Maine […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Canada Day In Happier Times (July 2008)

Three years ago, I was placing second in our campground’s annual “Canada Day Decorating” contest. This year? Don’t really feel like decorating too much (though I did have a few ideas to subvert the contest but couldn’t find 751 orange helium balloons in time!) 🙁 At the risk of sounding like somebody on /r/entlightenedcentrism, I’m […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mask Wearing in the “Before Times” (June 2016)

Browsing my photos, I occasionally come across a photo of someone in the family wearing a mask and it’s weird to think how unusual it felt at the time – when Pace had to go into isolation for a weekend after presenting with some weird breathing (later diagnosed as childhood asthma), when I’ve gone in […]

“The ranting and raving you see in these videos shows they have good lung capacity.”

“There are legitimate medical exemptions but if someone requires a mask exemption, that usually means they are at high risk of Covid and I counsel them to not to go out in public without a mask and instead, have someone assist you – a family member or caregiver if possible…Some doctors will feel pressured to […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “I’m Ready for My Curbside, Mr. Dewey!” (March 27, 2021)

This was one of the last pictures I took two months ago to the day on Saturday March 27, 2021 as Regina Public Library prepared to once again close our branches the following day as Covid was spiking in Regina and area. And just like when we shut down in March 2020 “a week or […]
