The Conservative Party of Canada has a brand new leader and he is the absolute perfect choice鈥or people who always vote Conservative. But what about everyone else across this fractured little nation of ours?

The province is asking people in Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) to wear masks as much as possible in public places. It鈥檚 not too much to ask.
The battle against COVID-19 needs to be taken seriously, so masks are fine by me where they are required.
I also believe context and history are important.

It is likely a good thing that the Province of 水果视频 has largely left it to local school divisions to set the ground rules for students going back to school this fall.

I think we need to realize that the COVID-19 situation is real, but it shouldn鈥檛 be as scary as the media and government make it out to be. To listen to the media, one would assume that the world is coming to an end very soon. The world is not coming to an end, at least not due to C-19 or Donald Trump or Justin Trudeau.
Most people realize that COVID-19 is a flu that can be fatal, but usually only to people who are already sick. People can get it without symptoms and at the other extreme, relatively healthy people have been known to die. C-19 is a serious situation, for sure, but some perspective is needed, perspective more than fear.
