Ampas comments

Interesting to see that the commentator has the time to evaluate the personal opinion of a good few million people.

People usually express their opinion based on observation and evidence. Opinion polls indicate that unlike before, the political attitudes of younger people are not becoming more conservative as they get older. The number of young people with a positive attitude towards the British royal family now is half of what it was in 2015 ( 60% vs. 30%).

The British royal family have had more scandals than I can remember, some involving truly atrocious behaviour. Whatever goodwill they once had, for most British subjects (at home or overseas) this is long gone.

Quite fitting really. More tawdry theatrics for one of the longest running soap operas out there.

This 'flavour-of-the-week' news story is likely to be done to death in Japanese media more than usual.

He's quite far away from the North Atlantic. Japan should deal with China in Japan's own interests.

Is this the same company that produced the heavy on emotion / light on fact film The White Helmets a few years back?

Tsk tsk. Uncle Klaus and his WEF cronies will not approve.

This price cap is meaningless. It only expedites the pricing of oil in currencies other than the dollar.

Accosted? A local resident simply called her a traitor and said that she didn't belong there.

It was nice to see Trudeau receive such a warm public reception when dropping by 10 Downing Street to meet Boris Johnson.

Should be interesting. Signing Luis Diaz really helps Liverpool's chances.

One of original drafters of the Canadian Charter or Rights and Freedoms is suing the government for breaking it.

The fact this comment has more negative reactions than positive is actually quite sad.

Also of interest is the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms were established under the government of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, father of the current prime minister whose government is now being sued.

He certainly picked an opportune time to be self-isolating, and after testing negative too.

So governments can impose all sorts rules on society, but not on this company?

Atillathehungry: The first generation of mRNA vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, etc.) have been proven to be effective in reducing symptoms. But their ability to prevent infection was not a criterion for their approval (by the FDA) and whether they do this has not been ascertained. (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-94719-y)

If the vaccines that have been developed actually prevent transmission of COVID, as opposed to only reducing symptoms, this would make sense.

Interesting to see the litany of negative comments. I would have thought his policy views and lack of certain connections would make him preferable to the others in the running.

Canada's place on the world stage is confirmed by the fact that 10 hours after this story was posted, this is the first comment.

11 years, instead of the usual 7, for the International Organized Criminals to extract all they can from Brisbane / Queensland / Australia taxpayers. I wonder what new exorbitant demands the gang of 5-star hotel, red carpet loving mobsters will come up with this time. Good luck.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation makes donations. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust invests in the companies that profit from the aforementioned donations.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation makes significant donations to media organizations. (BBC, NBC, New York Times, The Guardian, National Journal, the Financial Times, The Atlantic, Le Monde, Al Jazeera, Univision, Washington Monthly, the Center for Investigative Reporting, etc., etc., etc.)

The more 'ignorant fools' look into Bill Gates activities, the better.

Bill Gates net worth in 2010: $53 billion. In 2020: $120 billion.

It used to be "By the year 2020, blah, blah, blah ..."

Few of those statements of intent became reality.

There are a couple of bad apples in that bunch.

Is it still necessary to mention the cruise ship cases in every COVID-19 story?

Bring out the Branston!

Branston has had Japanese ownership since 2013. Shame you can't actually buy it here.

The process to the EPA has been very smooth, much in contrast to the post Brexit negotiations with the EU. Perhaps both sides' economies are complementary rather than competing while sharing common agenda.

Japan has no incentive for making it difficult.

Most people understand that with such minimal testing the official Japanese numbers are significantly understated.

Along the same lines, at a WHO session on October 5th (that got little coverage from major news agencies), the WHO's Head of Emergencies announced that they now believe roughly 10% of the world has been infected with Sars-Cov-2. This is their new “best estimate” and it is based on the average results of all large studies done around the world. This huge increase over 'officially' recognized cases (35 million vs 780 million) of course means that the infection fatality rate moves in the opposite direction by the same magnitude.

"Calum Jack, an eight-year-old from London, ... is online up to 10 hours a day..."

Less than ideal parenting there.

Interesting that the Toronto real estate market is partly responsible for the plug being pulled on a project affiliated with one of the riches companis in the world. I'm not going to miss the Justin Trudeau photo op we have all been spared from.

A picture of his wife or him together with his wife would be more suitable, she did all the hard work.

@Speed: where in Shikoku do you live? Winds are very localized in such storms, it depends on where you are relative to the eye. Gusts of up to 160 km/h is an accurate statement - this was observed at Muroto Misaki.
