Also, some tidbits on that link, shown in very small print at the bottom of the page , almost as an afterthought they begrudgingly have to report:
[They didn't include %'s, I calculated and included them for context and clarity]
Canada-wide today:
--Number of tests: 16,295
--New cases today: 478 (2.9% of the tested)
--Recovered cases today: 435
--Net increase in active cases countrywide: 43
--Hospital occupancy of beds set aside for it: ~5%
--Deaths: 65 (~80% in nursing homes)
--Canada's population: ~37,742,142
--Net increase in cases today as a % of population: 0.00011%
.
.
.
--Economic status: comatose
--Government message: dramatic
--Population status: successfully scared shitless

i assume because i am following china flu news i am getting africa's take too. in china nigerians are coke dealers, i have a black friend from compton who isn't very dark, but the chinese in almost any bar after 7 pm will ask him for coke. he makes good money(lol).
there seems to be a change in tune on china in africa, and if memory serves me correctly, when they change their mind and go the opposite direction they give a quick and courteous "time to leave" letter, and directions to the airport.
this is the third video of anti chinese rhetoric in an african assembly i have watched now. i think this is going to go global though. the communists didn't wait until we had no options left, and we can still change our politicians. old china friends will be tough on china for political points coming up, and china will threaten them.

The U.S. created 22.8 million jobs over the past 10 years, then lost 20.5 million jobs over the month of April 2020 alone. I know a lot of these jobs will come back when this is over but this ain't no joke. Adjusting for population size our numbers are probably not a whole lot better.
Their unemployment rate is now at 14.7%. Aside for 1982 when it was 10.8%, in the past 80 years, it never reached 10%.
Their April rate got close to the 1931 rate of 15.9%. The highest unemployment rate in US history happened in the following 2 years, 1932 and 1933, when it hovered around 25% (the height of the great depression).
We gotta get people back to work soon here. This isn't just about the ability to have a beer with your buddies on a patio or go to the gym, or your "portfolio" like some put it. It's people's livelihoods we're talking about. Can't keep messing around with our businesses and workforce indefinitely and then expect it to be all roses when the bureaucrats finally cut through all the red tape and deem safe to take the bubble wrap off.
Do it responsibly, protect the more vulnerable, but it's time to open up.

Saw Canada hit 17% unemployment. How many of them aren't coming back?
​​​​​​So we have 600k houses that people bought on mortgage during a boom at inflated prices, and the construction company is leveraged to shit to try and build the next, while they collect from the most recent completions.
We are at the top of the hill, and the snowball is going to get very big. Kanata and Ottawa isn't very expensive compared to what the workers in oshawa pay to live close to Toronto, or Toronto.
When inflation hits anyone's savings not in equity will become useless. All of my income comes from dividends, completely suspended, but I have no debt.
People with mortgages, credit cards, car loans, if they bought shit on 2 year plans. Bills aren't going to stop, and we can't keep printing money.

Any Ottawa people here? I was driving through Kanata, and it is brimming with new construction, leveling entire new projects, and just completed new homes.
