Even worse that meant large parts of the stores were blocked off which caused everyone to be funneled much closer together into contact with one another than they would have otherwise if they could browse the whole store.
Thankfully our own premier has not used such heavy-handed tactics. Yet.
This is SO much about control and not so much about covid.

Some politicians such as Whitmer, who also banned the use of motor-powered boats but allowed “Non-motorized boating, such as canoeing, kayaking and sailing" until forced to rescind her order, have gotten a taste of power and it has gone straight to their heads.

I gues the leftists here have no objection to the actions of the premier of Manitoba. I thought at least a few would acknowledge how insane this is.
Or maybe nobody cares about Canada because they are so geocentric and only care about the States.

The Queen of Canadia is unhappy.
I hear she's got a wicked pin, and all of them had better watch out.

Per Wikipedia
The Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba (French: Parti progressiste-conservateur du Manitoba) is a centre-right political party in Manitoba, Canada.
The regressives on this board will have to decide whether pointing out that what passes for conservatism in Canada probably aligns far more closely with the Democrats is worth admitting how extremely far right today's GOP is by comparison (I'm calling them "far right" as courtesy). We will see.Last edited by LiconaFan97; 11-30-2020, 02:55 AM.

That's assuming you're not in favor of seeing her kidnapped and assassinated.
If that's wrong, never mind.

That some loons planned some nonsense does not make her dictatorial edicts magically better or magically go away.

Look. All I want to know in this thread are opinions regarding the opening post. I appreciate the comparison to Michigan's governor, but I refuse to allow any sort of derail into politics in general.
I don't care what part of the political spectrum anybody here is, nor do I care where Manitoba's premier is.
The thread is about the ridiculous logic involved in keeping a store open but not allowing people to purchase whatever they want because somebody has deemed only certain items to be essential.
If you cannot give an opinion based on the op, then don't give an opinion. Find another thread in which to poison the well.
If people continue to argue politics they will be asked to leave.
