This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Generals often talk about the “fog of war.” It speaks to the uncertainties in the thick of battle, when decisions have to be made yet essential information is not at hand, from the position of the enemy to the weaknesses of one’s own forces. Each bit of new intelligence is a step on the road to victory.
As Canada reopens its economy – with different provinces, and even parts of provinces, moving at varying paces – the question of wearing masks in public places is now at the fore. The science is not entirely settled. However, there is considerable evidence that a mask can act as a kind of shield, lessening the likelihood of transmitting of the virus.As such, it is time to make masks mandatory in crowded, indoor public spaces.
GlobeDebate Clearly the Globe and Mail doesn’t care about the quality of evidence. For masking, it’s “low certainty (our confidence in the effect estimate is limited; the true effect could be substantially different from the estimate of the effect)”

GlobeDebate Countries in Asia never had to make mask wearing mandatory. Their citizens do it voluntarily and these countries have done much better in terms of fighting Covid-19 than the rest of the world. We cannot afford to delay it any more. Too many people got sick and died needlessly.
GlobeDebate This should have happened months ago. Too much was left to interpretation and was very confusing for the average person.
GlobeDebate Yes make them mandatory but one still needs to purchase them. It seems that major drug stores do not stock them. So where are these masks. One would think that a medical supply would have them on the shelves. Plus when I ask them where they just shrug their shoulders.
GlobeDebate Some areas have had zero active cases for days!!!!
GlobeDebate will handwashing be mandatory and not just convention? Hand washing is proven to be effective.... but how can you tell the hand washers from the non hand washers, and how do we police them? There must be some way to be able to identify them easily.
GlobeDebate Should make masks mandatory in the beginning
GlobeDebate IT'S TIME THE DEFUND FAKE NEWS MEDIA
GlobeDebate No way! Maybe we should of done that 3 months ago!
GlobeDebate Masks just symbolize followers
GlobeDebate I want to add my voice to the support of this position. This is not about politics, or freedom. This is about science, public safety and economics. Trillions are at risk. 100+ countries & 12 US states have mandatory mask laws. Now it is time for Canada too
GlobeDebate But I thought westerners detest masks
GlobeDebate Yes make Canada look like a segment of the Planet of the Apes.
GlobeDebate Propaganda!
GlobeDebate Read the fine print. Then read it again. Facts matter.
GlobeDebate GFY
GlobeDebate Glad to see you’ve come around.
GlobeDebate Except here in BC , we’re letting in cars from the US ( I’ve seen Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, Florida, so far) Alberta, Ontario ( 4 plates today) ..so yeah, pretty sure the 30% of people wearing masks here ( usually by themselves) is really gonna help that second 🌊
GlobeDebate Nope.... you are wrong.... panic is good but controlling panic won’t happen.... so Supreme Court might make it mandatory not PM or any health officials... maybe....
GlobeDebate PS: here's the website with guidance for municipalities and local health authorities to do it: Please share as a resource for your readers in future articles or DM for comment.
GlobeDebate Masks are racist. And if you don't know why - don't worry, soon, someone, somewhere will tell you.
GlobeDebate Hahaha 6 months later? What a joke! Nope! Nope! Nope!
GlobeDebate Many US States continue to re-open with no protective measures such as mandatory masks, they are not doing well. Over 2,000 cases/day. Hospitalizations are climbing.
GlobeDebate If people choose to wear a mask because it makes them feel better, then go for it. If people decide they want to risk it, then go for it. We live in Canada and despite what the Liberal government believes, we are still a free country!
GlobeDebate Toronto centric piffle if there was. The 4 western provinces have, compared to Qc/Ont, a piddling number of covid cases + a trifling number of deaths. Take your 'late-to-the-party' edicts to JustinTrudeau and leave them there. Then the stay the he11 out of the west.
GlobeDebate
GlobeDebate Is it ever!!
GlobeDebate Yet they are saying children don’t need them in school. This was clearly written for brain dead people who need a placebo to feel safe because they are dummies!
GlobeDebate Nope.
GlobeDebate Nope, cases are going down every day and death rates are astronomically lower than estimated. Nowhere near close. This is just asking for more meaningless rules.
GlobeDebate No it's not...6 months ago maybe
GlobeDebate You do realize we will NOT be dictated to any longer! Knock yourself out. Keep wearing them for the cameras. We all know you remove them as soon as the cameras shut off.
GlobeDebate do these rules apply to protests or not?
GlobeDebate A bit of a totalitarian notion.
GlobeDebate No it’s not
