[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The Wu Flu angle is why I would personally stay away, but I still can't blame them. Unlike my own still-idiotic RINO governor, Karen Whitmer seems to want to micro-manage every aspect of Michiganders' lives, including shutting down a perfectly safe pop-up drive-in theater in which there would be no food and drink served, the cars would park 20 feet from each other and the sound would be an FM broadcast, so people wouldn't have to fiddle with those drive-in speakers, but listen to it on their car radios instead.

I'm guessing in the more-sophisticated province of British Columbia, things are more like this:

We have it relatively easy here, that’s true. Some of the measures, in Michigan and other states, do seem too draconian, and not helpful. Governments shouldn’t micromanage — they can never do well at it.

OTOH, asking people to stay 6’ apart, and to wear a mask in crowds is more of a minor inconvenience than a threat to civil liberties. Demonstrators at the legislature showed a complete disregard for the safety of others. If you don’t know you’re not infected, you should assume that you are. Kind of like you assume every gun is loaded. The virus can spread if you’re respiring forcefully — like the grizzly-bear guy, up in the cop’s face, yelling. All that demonstrates is irresponsible behaviour. The cop could have charged that guy with reckless endangerment — what he did isn’t materially different from an HIV-positive person spitting on someone. The principle is exactly the same. It’s not a good look.

Demonstrations, for ending restrictions are great — there’s no reason why they can’t also demonstrate that the people will act responsibly.

While I think the governor is an idiot, somebody was going to need to go to the bathroom during the “movie” which means people sneaking out of cars looking for bushes. That was probably the governor’s justification. The fact that she is extending her lock down out of spite shows just what an a-hole she is.
