ROFLMAO, it's pretty obvious that this is the economy returning back to normal because of Biden's handling of the pandemic. You know just like everyone with half a brain told Trump that handling the pandemic was the key to winning the election and he ignored them. Trump lost to COVID not Biden, he was stupid enough to think that he could handwave a global pandemic.
Like, I've had Top Secret security clearances, and I've never had to pee in a cup. Fuck any employer who asks that kind of shit of you. Get a fucking court order, jackwads.
Helps, of course, that Canada doesn't support at-will employment, so they need actual cause to fire me, and refusing to take embarrassing and invasive tests like that don't qualify.
If you work or sub to one of the big construction companies (Turner, Skanska, PCL, Kiewitt, etc.) you get used to it quickly. Each new project, you ended up having to do pee test during the pre-con safety training. Those were the easy ones. You just had to make sure you drank a lot of coffee before hand. Then you had the surprise pee test. The safety officers tapped you on the shoulder and you are it. Some people have on the spot performance anxiety. I never had an issue.
"Want me to do it around the corner?"
"No! Use the pottie you pervert."

Well, you are probably not operating heavy machinery or using volatile gasses or working on a narrow girder 100 feet up in the air.
Military urine test in MEPS, they stand in the middle of the bathroom as you and multiple other guys go pee and you hand it to them afterwards.
Chicken plant I applied to and couldn’t pee to get the job. Had a woman go in the restroom with me (a guy) and literally stood 3 feet behind me, arms crossed and staring at me like she just walked in on me and her mother. Tried to close my eyes and pretend she wasn’t there only for her to break out her cellphone and start playing a game that was loud.
Going to pee alone in a room isn’t a deal breaker for most people.
Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
"mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
And?
Court order to get my pee. Particularly as weed's 100% legal here in Canada and having traces show up that show you're a regular user won't disqualify you from anything.
Also; I had a job where handling volatile explosives (black powder, specifically) by hand was a regular part of the job. And not just black powder rifle blanks, but cannon charges, enough to do serious damage to pretty much anything. No pee tests ever.
He might just be drunk. Or using any of a dozen or more over the counter sedative type drugs marked with "do not operate heavy machinery" warnings.
Y'know, shit that isn't covered by pee tests, but which employers have to monitor for by evaluating employee conduct. Rather than demanding invasive medical testing for no justifiable reason.
Pee tests in the USA exist solely as part of the "punish people for enjoying marijuana" agenda. Not about ensuring people don't work while high or drunk. They're useless for that purpose.
Like, if you can't trust someone to not work while high, why are you hiring them, again?
As for not trusting them to pee in a cup rather than substituting someone else's pee, unless you're running a group home for at-risk teens with drug problems, what the everloving fuck is wrong with you?

Given that we just extended our border restrictions to any non-essential travel another month, to June 21, it's probably down, if anything; https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/corona...e-21-1.5433345
The big thing is that you'd need a reason for Canada to want you. You can't claim refugee status from the USA (yet, at least), so it's gonna boil down to how valuable we think you'd be as a citizen; are you going to be self-supporting and find employment and so on and so forth. Some people seem to think that of course they can just move to Canada; it's like moving to Vermont, right? Yeah, not so much.

Fox News and Doocey shouldn't have much to complain about, question asked question answered.
Glad Psaki isn't entertaining the bullshit.
She's a god damn american hero. The way she slices through all the QNON-based media outlets that slither into the White House Press Room is beautiful.

I've been reading up on it a bit, and it seems you can attain dual citizenship, assuming one follows all the rules, after just four years in Canada. Immigration is like you said, all about being able to productively contribute to society (lol Vermont) when one applies to initially move there, and then continuing to do so while living there.
Have to say - I not opposed to the idea of giving it a go sometime in the future if things start really going to hell here.
Like, what was the question even meant to get at?
I assume it was intended just regarding Fauci's actual conduct, in which case Psaki's response is perfect. I'm just betting that Fox will try and spin that more as "Biden would not fire Fauci even if he were convicted of murder-raping 12-year-olds".
"Could you imagine any circumstance where President Biden would ever fire him?"
"No."
"Would Biden fire Fauci if he were convicted of murder-raping 12-year-olds?"
"Frankly, that is not a circumstance I can imagine."
"I did."
"Then that says a lot more about you than about President Biden."
