All provinces need to start doing what Alberta has just done. Kenney got rid of all of the covid restrictions and have returned freedom back to the people. Finally this guy smartened up or was it because he had no choice as he could not back up the science that he was told to believe in but rather that Kenney lost his battle in court to try and keep his covid bullshit restrictions alive and well? I think that it was the latter that got Kenney to give up on covid. One down, 9 to go. ?

There can be dangerous and irresponsible actions performed by fully vaccinated people while someone who cannot be vaccinated for example due to medical conditions, may exercise all precautions. Vaccination is not an obvious indication of the infection risk and serious, reviewed studies need to be performed and discussed to understand the association. Even more concerning, a part of the population seem to be ready to support all sorts of limitations and restrictions on personal freedoms without much evidence based only on fear. With 70% of the population vaccinated and cases at low level why mandatory policies like masking continue? Who decides why and for how long, based on what considerations, and with what accountability and oversight to prevent wrong, or unjustified decisions? Outside of the initial emergency phase of the pandemic I do not accept the absolute right of any authority to dictate unilaterally, without accountability and oversight limitations of personal rights for whatever reasons. And we seem to be on the path right there, who said when the measures and restrictions will be lifted, what clear conditions and explanations? This is a direct, broad path to authoritarianism. And some of us seem to have already arrived. And it didn't even take much and we have all the effects of climate change ahead of us. A glimpse into the future to come, and how would we have known?

Quebec is being pro-active on this. Unlike Ontario, who is going to wait until things get dire, like they did in the Spring regarding vaccine distribution. I'm hopeful that 2/3 full vaccination rate is enough to keep hospitalization low, but if now, we'll have to curb freedoms again. But why should people that did their duty and got vaccinated be treated the same as an Anti-Vaxxer in this scenario? We're not going to be able to shut down business and tell people to stay at home again. Vaccine verification is the only solution. BTW it's not a new thing.

There are people practically salivating at the thought of another shutdown. Some of them wont go out much even now unless fully masked and gowned, and dont forget to double it up. Because the bogeyman is out there, somewhere. At least the new medical chief is talking about putting emphasis on hospital caseloads, not simply the gross number of infections. If I were a scientist in all seriousness, I would take a hard look at the way we are counting infections there. And dont forget, this is a new experiment, never monitored for virus like this before. There might have been other viruses that spread as easily as the delta, with many people feeling little or no symptoms we would never know. Until we start counting. Therefore: the only way to actually get rid of the virus, is to stop looking at it. - L Pasteur OftenWrong

Another laptop has been lost by Hunter Biden. This time, he claims he's been stolen by a Russian drug mob, while he had sex with prostitutes in Las Vegas. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9881213/Unearthed-video-shows-naked-Hunter-Biden-claiming-Russian-drug-dealers-stole-laptop.html This is the third one he has lost. In 2014, he did not disclose the astronomical $400K he received to advise an Ukrainian gas company, and is under investigation from the FBI. In 2021, he created a scandal for selling his paintings $500k each at times. He became a painter in 2016, for fun, according to the official narrative, that even CNN questions; Cillizza: How has the art world reacted to Hunter Biden the artist -- particularly given that he has no formal training as such? Smee: Mostly, a shoulder shrug. A few people probably sniff the chance to make money from his notoriety. But for the most part, people with influence in the art world are looking at his work and thinking, "Nothing much to see here." https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/17/politics/hunter-biden-art-sale/index.html What do you think are the ramifications of having such a mess in the background, for a President? Is Biden compromised?

A CBC article described how Canadian tourists have been helping to fund the Cuban army and leaders. How Canadian tourism sustains Cuba's army and one-party state (msn.com) I suspect many of these people are embedded within the Liberal and NDP parties and their supporters. quote Cuban-Canadian activists say many Canadians are not aware of the extent to which the survival of Cuba's one-party regime depends upon the foreign currency tourists bring into the country, or the lengths the Cuban government will go to keep Canadians coming. Unquote What is equally surprising on the MSN comment section under this article is the number of commenters who support the Cuban regime and oppose America. Makes one wonder where these commenters came from and where their loyalties lay.

As heard on the radio this morning the idea will be implemented in Quebec and is being considered in Ontario. I'm not a medical expert so not advising anyone to vaccinate or otherwise, but the idea of another restriction on individual freedoms on ad hoc basis, out of thin air and without serious discussion in the society and analysis from different perspectives, frightens me. We still don't have many answers and two decades belated apology may not be good enough for everyone. Is passportization going to improve epidemiological situation (rationale? evidence?) or is it a quick knee-jerk reaction with unknown and potentially far-reaching consequences if adopted as standard practice? How long immunization effect lasts and how long will passports be in place? Could the practice be extended, potentially indefinitely? Or is a way to coerce more citizens into vaccinating? Is it a responsible approach, given though small but real and confirmed potential side effects for an individual? Are those proposing it certain that there's no other effective ways? And have they tried them and proven it? On the balance of considerations, in the society of passive and uninvolved citizens easily frightened by omnipresent propaganda, overconfident and under-competent bureaucracy (travel from Wuhan) lacking any effective mechanisms of accountability and oversight, any formal restriction on individual freedoms in my view would not be a good idea.

It shows just how awful the MSM is for ignoring this story in order to protect the Democrats. Hunter is extremely wealthy for making introductions and little else.

The surprising support for the Russian pipeline from Joe Biden with no concessions shortly after elected, has created internal turmoil in America. NordStream2 has the green light from Washington. https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/07/26/biden-merkel-putin-nord-stream-2-gas-pipeline-germany-russia-ukraine-geopolitics-central-eastern-europe/

Trading freedom for security has always been foolish.

Vaccine passports are just another step closer to authoritarianism. You must inject a substance into your body or the government will restrict your rights. And our society has swayed so far from the understanding of history and the understanding of human rights that most of these lemmings completely support it.

As said, democracy, freedom that we like so much to boast about is not a given - it's a choice. Whatever is "inconvenience" the question that a citizens asks is why, what grounds, explanation, justification and argumentation. Without that question the point is moot - democracy is no longer distinguishable from a dictatorship, in idea first, followed at some point by the reality. For me at least, without an explanation why am I required to do something, even if "minor" (whoever decides) "inconvenience" democracy does not exist. Period. Now here's another point. I'm not a conspiracy theorist of any kind but I like when what I hear makes sense in the reality. And here's what the reality's saying: August 10, 2020: 115 cases, 11th: 33 cases, 7-day average under 90 cases. Remember something, about August 2020 last year? Right, no vaccines. 0% coverage, first and second doses. Now look at the chart, above. No it's not statistically significant at this point. I would expect someone to look at it honestly and objectively and understand what it means and tell us clearly and honestly instead of drumming the song of the day. But clearly it's too much of an expectation, on the second year. So thank you and excuse me, not jumping on the bandwagon. Something seems to be fishy here. Something does not seem to line up.

I don't think that a lot of people here would say: "I support communism", but they support communist-style forms of government with shinier names. A small percentage of people support Che Guevera and others like that because they think that slaughtering capitalists sounds rad, and broke college kids love to say that they love commies, but no one with any money here openly supports communism.

But there’s a big difference between drinking and driving and the Covid situation. If I allow a non-vaccinated person into my restaurant, the risk is to the non-vaccinated person not the vaccinated patrons. Most eligible people are vaccinated. Most patrons of businesses are vaccinated. I don’t see the value in requiring vaccine passports except as a way to make unvaccinated people wear masks or stay away. No thanks. I think it should be up to individuals at this point to protect themselves. The only exception perhaps is children in schools who are too young to get vaccinated and may be too young to know what’s in their interests.

Call it whatever you want . . . Marxism, socialism, communism, it doesn't really matter at this point. It's all a matter of degree . . . The fact remains that government has seeped into more and more of our personal freedoms and our right to choose. Communists here in Canada? You bet your ass there is . . . . and it's not so hidden anymore.

I have told you this before. Democracy does not mean you can do anything you want and demand the rights you don't have. In any democracy there are boundaries and red lines. Red lines are crossed when there is a risk that other innocent bystanders may be harmed. Examples: Free speech - red lines crossed when speech provokes others to attack or harm certain group of people. Drunk driving - You have the right to drink but you don't have the right to drive when drunk because you pose a risk to others. Smoking in public - You have the right to smoke but not in public as it poses health risks to others Unvaccinated - You have the right to not vaccinate but you can't go to public places and restrictions should be put on you as all scientific evidence and data point to the fact that unvaccinated people pose a greater risk of transmission of disease also overwhelming majority of hospitalizations and deaths are among them so causing lockdowns and economic meltdowns again. So we need passports to identify who is vaccinated and should or should not have restrictions in order to protect the public.

I’m thinking this was bound to happen. I’m of the opinion we’ve thrown the doors open way too soon at our own peril so this was inevitable. If X percent of the public absolutely refuses the vaccine over some perceived “rights” issue in their head, then the majority will have to refuse them admission to private property. The health and safety of the public trumps rights. One doesn’t have the right to drink and drive or smoke in public. Consequently, one doesn’t have the right to put others at risk of exposure to an international pandemic. Simply exclude the unvaccinated from the party and keep them at home away from me. Voila. That was easy.

You think you're being, somehow, intellectual by refusing to get vaccinated. Then you post an article about Breakthrough infections, completely missing the point that vaccines aren't designed to eliminate infections. They're meant to prevent severe illness and death! You don't think you'll get sick from COVID-19, fine. But if you do, which has become the fate of a lot Anti-Vaxxers in the past few months. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9875841/Covid-wipes-anti-vaxxer-family-Son-loses-father-73-mother-65-brother-40-virus.html Even if you had been previously infected, you didn't get the Delta variant. And I hope you realize that Vaccine Passports, when/if we get it are meant to prevent ignorant Anti-Vaxxers, out of the Hospital, even if they don't want it.

Mitt Romney can run it and show you how to make a profit, like he did in Salt Lake City in 2002. “Official state estimates of the economic impact showed the Salt Lake Olympics yielded $100 million in profits, $4.8 billion in sales, 35,000 job years of employment and $1.5 billion in earnings for Utah workers during 2002. Since then, the state's ski and lodging industries have enjoyed record-setting years, with a 42 percent increase in skier visits. Direct expenditures from skiers and snowboarders have increased 67 percent from $704 million in 2002-03 to $1.2 billion in 2010-11.” https://www.ksl.com/article/19155597/economic-impact-of-2002-olympics-still-felt

They’re trying to sell a 4th wave in Canada now. Yawn.

You are a mad man taxme from your posts and this is an established fact.

Isn't this one a bit generic? Nothing identifies it as being Canadian centred...

Even some major unions are riddled with Communist sympathizers. Quote Did you see Unifor’s latest attack ad? In the ad, Unifor makes a number of unsubstantiated claims and attacks Conservative leader Erin O’Toole. Unifor claims that the CPC leader is planning on “cutting healthcare” and “cutting public service.” Additionally, Unifor stated that O’Toole’s policies were “engineered by big corporations.” There is very little evidence to substantiate any of these claims. How do we know? Because we fact-checked Unifor’s attack ad. Why didn’t the legacy media do this? When it comes to Justin Trudeau’s political opponents, the legacy media will bend over backwards to defend the Liberal leader. They fact-checked former CPC leader Andrew Scheer repeatedly and of course, they did the same to former President Donald Trump as well. So why didn’t they fact-check this Unifor ad that was clearly misleading Canadians about O’Toole? This is why independent media is so vital in Canada. The reality is you can’t rely on the legacy media to report the truth anymore. Many of these media outlets are dependent on government handouts to exist and many of these so-called journalists are actually represented by Unifor. This is why we started an Election Coverage Fund – a budget of $75,000 specifically for coverage of the next federal election. With your support, we can reach more Canadians with factual and honest reporting. Will you help us? Thank you, True North UNQUOTE We see the slant of unions like UNIFOR, opposed to any conservatives and oppose corporations, which is a pretty clear sign of Marxism.
