We just had a chance to observe that a failed exit strategy, a failure to think and design viable and realistic ways forward from entrenched status quo can be painful, or outright disastrous. I'm not sure who's listening and if, but here's a few cents. 1. We approaching the mark of the maximum possible protection of the society against severe Covid. A small fraction that either cannot or would not vaccinate cannot make significant impact on the developing scenario. Pounding vaccination propaganda and Covid-scare will bring quickly diminishing returns, and in the absence of new approaches, become counter-productive, locking the society in the dead-end direction that cannot lead to a solution in the foreseeable perspective. 2. A realistic direction for the exit from Covid crisis is an intelligent coexistence with endemic Covid based on four cornerstones of clear policy realized in effective action: 1) protection of the vulnerable population; 2) timely and best treatment if and when needed; 3) suppression of the infection with smart, effective and targeted interventions, including technology based; 4) clear, consistent, honest, accurate and current information to the society. The time to begin implementing it is now. 3. Unfortunately the approach we have seen so far, that of indiscriminate, poorly explained and justified if at all, blank mandating, failure to monitor and report the effectiveness of implemented solutions, reliance on one silver bullet panaceas and propaganda can very easily lock in itself, making intelligent exit even more complicated and elusive than all the challenges of the disease. In the environment devoid of accountability and independent oversight it's much easier to press for continuation, potentially indefinite in the absence of the instruments of oversight and control, of measures of indiscriminate population management than develop, implement and demonstrate effective methods and approaches that could keep the infection in check without interfering with the normal, to the extent possible, life of the society. At this time there appear to be two essentially different and rapidly diverging directions: smart, intelligent and effective management; and entrenched bureaucratic management. Us, the society will chose one, by reason or default. And the choice will define the outcome, as it always does.

What would happen in the US but question mark for Canada? The cases already up 7 times in Ontario since July. It is surging in Western Canada and Quebec and we are still in summer they say it will get a lot worse in the fall and winter and it will reach a point that our health care will be overwhelmed and the only choice will be to lockdown again so why you question that for Canada.

Those are all things I was advocating back in March 2020. It didn't take "2020 vision" to see this freight train coming 'round the mountain. It should have been implemented right away, and in the exact same manner as for other outbreaks that were handled in the past. Or, we needed do nothing, just fallows rules 1-3 and not say much to the public, since 99.xx percent of people were able to fend off from the virus, even without any vaccine. That's right, No vaccine, at all.

The public health authorities are risking their credibility by continuing to call for restrictions when the science clearly shows flu level risks to the vaccinated and vaccine-ineligible population. If the pretext for these restrictions is to protect the eligible unvaccinated who have freely chosen not to get vaccinated, that’s paternalistic overreach, at least when we know that our hospitals are unlikely to be overwhelmed, which is the case today. Not only are our hospitals quiet, Covid is being used as an excuse not to see patients and to limit the capacities of businesses to make money and people from interacting. It’s created a dysfunctional society in order to reach unattainable public health purity. We don’t hold these standards for protection against flu or traffic accidents. Responsible governments have to take back power from health authorities that are no longer acting in the public interest.

But a liberal minority is a de facto majority given the masturbating dipper backing of every liberal knee jerk day dream.

Like I said, in my other post, it seems Biden bungled the withdrawal and had not counted n the Afghan state officials stepping aside for the Taliban. The Taliban didn’t retake Afghanistan through “military campaigning”. They cut deals with the hopelessly corrupt Afghan police and Army and various government officials a all levels, most of whom are primarily loyal to their tribe and their bribe-payers rather than a national government. The Afghan forces mostly just stepped aside for them.

Yes you do need to provide the list of terrorists Trump killed. The current leader of the Taliban who Trump made a deal with is one of its original founders. Oops! So much for that claim. And Trump has said repeatedly that ue doesn’t want any Afghan refugees coming here so as usual when the Republicans moan about the Afghans that Biden left behind while also demanding that they not come here they’re crying their crocodile tears.

Erin O'Toole makes Andrew Scheer look like Barry Goldwater Scheer was an over the top cuckservative but O'Toole is still like, hold my beer yet y'all wanna reward for him for that and send a signal to the CPC to give you more of that in the future because Trudeau Derangement Syndrome fckn Canadians go ahead, vote for Erin Trudeau this is why Canada can't have nice things too many gutless cowards and sycophantic cronies

Consider Canada as your house. Do you let everyone who knocks on your door in? How about the ones that don't knock and climb in through the window? "Come right in folks . . . . make yourselves comfortable, I'll make egg salad sandwiches for everyone . . . forever"

Do I need to provide you the list of terrorist leaders killed by Trump? HE MOST CERTAINLY WAS HUNTING THEM LIKE DOGS, AND KILLING THEM. Who cares? Trump has always been about getting Americans out of middle east wars. His approach has always been to kill the leaders. "Let's have a war of attrition amongst the peons" is pre-Trump and post-Trump logic. Trump's deal with the Taliban never would have been "We'll pull our troops out and rely on you guys to send all of our weapons home and get our civilians to the airport." That is all Biden's doing. Trump's deal would be: "If this doesn't go smoothly, you'll be the first motherfucker to die. I killed the top general in a country with one of the largest militaries in the world, and with the planet's most extensive terrorist network, I'll kill you if you make a nasty tweet about the colour of our uniforms." What's the problem with that? The whole point of the war in Afghanistan was to put an end to the training of terrorists there. Huh? Pull out the soldiers, leave the weapons there, bring the soldiers back, and do it all during the Taliban's military campaigning season... "Doh! It's too late. Let's ask the Talis to guard our civilians and the other Afghanis who helped us fight them...." Biden code-named his operation: "Freeze! I have a gun pointed at my head and I'm not afraid to use it!"

Yes, this "adjustment" is called "clueless" because 196 cases out of 8,500 is 2.3% and not 4.4%, in the third grade math at least. And a hardly avoidable conclusion. 1. Continuation of uniform restrictions is not supported by the science and evidence. Up to 95% of population at this time can be expected to have strong protection against Covid hospitalization, with the risk lower than that of a flu complication and traffic injury. Continuation of uniform restrictions without justification and evidence can be a transgression toward arbitrary and voluntaristic use of authority. 2. PHO must return to the business of managing the disease, rather than the population, and judged on the effectiveness of methods that do not interfere with freedoms of citizens and achieved results. 3. The emphasis going forward needs to be on: a) protection of vulnerable part of the population; b) timely and effective treatment for those who need it; c) intelligent and effective methods to suppress infection in specific environments, including technology-based; d) and the foremost, honest, current and accurate information to the society. Covid fear mongering, pumping and pressing the fear on the society is not justified by the evidence and can be interpreted as an attempt at manipulation of the public opinion.

Canada, as usual, admits floods of people from the wrong places. This will be our demise. It’s happening before our eyes and we pretend it’ll settle down and we’ll be a delightful “multicultural” mosaic. It won’t be. On local public transit there is virtually no English spoken. Canada will get what it deserves.

AMEN TO THAT!!!! If we want a majority, ALL Conservatives will have to go behind O'Toole on this one. Which would you rather have again - a centrist government (O'Toole), or a socialist (Trudeau)? Those are the only realistic choice here! If Trudeau wins, and if he gets his majority - he'll really plunk us down to downright socialism! NDP will be there to support him! Pro-Trudeau journalists are trying to split the votes between conservatives by insistently bringing up O'Toole's progressiveness. I know there's a problem with his progressiveness that doesn't sit well with traditional conservatives (like me with his being pro-choice as an example). BUT, we can deal with that later. Right now, the main focus is to unseat Trudeau!

Every day has been bad news for people in Afghanistan, for like the past 40 years. Recently things have gotten worse. Hopefully after some time things will settle down, they may have a chance to improve. Improve themselves, mind you. Not the intentions of the liberal western do-gooders, those who deem themselves the improvers of mankind. What you see today is a crime against humanity being allowed to happen through carelessness and neglect. White liberals have psychologically moved on, they want to put Afghanistan behind them. I’m not talking about hunting for Al Quaeda I’m talking about ideas like regime change. And not blaming any soldiers, more like pity them for the insult they’ve suffered. ETA: Mr. Trudeau screaming for sanctions. Havent we seen what that does? It amounts to plunging the people into deeper poverty. It will make China very happy.

Biden’s 7 months into his first term and he’s already a complete disaster.
