We thought the enemy was clearly defined, ideologically opposed and external to us. Yet it’s now becoming increasingly clear- the enemy is within. We carry it. in us. We transport it. And now, with MRNA and DNA technology, the so-called “vaccines” that re-program our cells to produce Corona, we are become it. We fought the enemy, and the enemy was in us. Not just within our bodies, no. But in our hearts, minds, fears, and of course politics. We are, as a society, become the viruse.

You're too stressed. Have a beer and enjoy 2022. Should be interesting.

This new person jbander is pretty hard core. I think he's genuinely clueless that he's posting in a Canadian forum.

Republicans and Democrats are not enemies. President Kennedy and Senator Goldwater were political opposites but close friends. The same is true for many current American politicians. You can disagree with someone's politics but you should never let that be an excuse to disparage their character.

It's interesting that the guys the OP would prefer we all follow lied to us. Some are now saying, "Wait a minute..." Not sure how that makes them Right Wing but speaking as a right winger good for them.

Because the insect-like left seek to impose the tyranny of the masses on all of us, without exception. Like ants in your house, they need to be eliminated. Ants cannot be reasoned or argued with. The only solution is death by insecticide. Useful formulas include speaking truth to power, protecting free speech and the rights of the disaffected and the meek. .... Or else, Malathion.

We have created, or allowed them to create a situation from which there's no exit. No exit anywhere in sight, not just a good one just think and look. What exit criteria, who needs them from an "out of abundance of caution" lull to the next spike/variant followed by another "defeat it forever" q-vaccination drive? In the first wave of the pandemic, we had no masks in grocery stores and I can't recall any outbreaks linked to them. Then, when in the summer as cases were dropping to nil (no masks, no vaccines) they brought it in my some municipal order, ahead of the province. Why did they bring it? What was the reason, explanation, when factual reasons were nil? Who asked for it, and who answered? Many months on, there were few outbreaks linked to stores, so how did we do? Nil on nil, is it a great improvement? who bothers. But the thing is, you're getting used to it, taking it as a part of normal, the normal itself. No, not the cloth thing of questionable usability in some/many situations like put it on in the washroom. The mental thing, someone making for you random, arbitrary, never explained and needing no explanation daily rules and orders and you roll your sleeve happily and cheerfully, no questions asked (and needed). You know what it's called, surely? And where the exit is?

anyone have a clue , this is Q-anon fantasy bullshit.

Unfortunately much of current green energy tech simply can’t provide the essential heating, food production, and transportation that we need to survive in our highly populated world (electric vehicles need to get their electricity from somewhere!). Humans require energy to exist. Taxing energy is taxing existence. EV’s have their own giant environmental footprints. People who think that subsidizing the hell out of ineffectual green energy while other bandit countries supply the world’s energy needs are on a path to self-destruction. Better planning and building can make important reductions in emissions, but carbon taxes mostly just add to the cost of living for working people. Prediction: Emissions rise along with carbon taxes and the cost of living. We better plan better, which basically means adapt. Thankfully Canada will be a net beneficiary of climate change as more land becomes arable and trade expands in the north ports, but expect mass migrations. Canada better think carefully about how many people we want to take on and where they settle.

Isn't income tax and every other tax a tax on existence ?? Gee.. Adapt? Like learn how to live in 50'C , how to swim in floods, how to fly in a tornado, how to breathe without oxygen, how to be alive without food or water. I suggest you go to the moon for a week with no supplies and learn to adapt there. When you come back you will be ready.

I’m for them recommending anything they want. I draw the line at forcing. Regardless, what a lot of Branch Covidians don’t understand is that most people have no issue with washing hands, distancing etc. It’s the shutting down of businesses and schools for months at a time by edict. With no voting on new legislation, no debate etc. And anyone that defends this behaviour is defending lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Happy holidays everyone and picking up the topic of a) What is the risk of a serious Covid-19 for general healthy population compared to flu/common cold and b) Why there's no consideration/discussion/evidence-based evaluation of alternative approaches focusing on effective management of the problem based on the priority, rather blanket and uniform "shotgun" solutions (that we have yet to see work once, now that all-time highs are reached yet again with all the recommended measures in place). As no information or discussion is forthcoming, here's a few guesses, please add any other that come to mind. By the principle of exclusion of unlikely or impossible alternatives we should be able to get to the bottom of it, at least if this Universe at this time still retains a connection to reason and logic. A. There's a terrible secret that justifies anything and everything that the public just cannot know. If it exists how likely it would be to remain a terrible secret for two years and many a wave in this information age? Highly unlikely to plain impossible. B. The system cannot handle it. We have to agree here, the old system was not designed and certainly could not operate in a situation with a high influx of mostly mild cases where some would develop into more serious courses. It just isn't: a) smart enough b) quick enough c) intelligent d) effective e) efficient f) sufficiently resourced g) capable of quick response and adapting and so on. No, the system as it is is highly unlikely to handle it. So what do we do about it? C. The managing bureaucracy cannot adapt the system to the needs of the day (now exactly two decades after SARS pandemic). Does it look more likely than a terrible, terrible secret? Highly advanced aliens among us spreading it to grab our resources with the planet itself out there; or just good old, slow; lazy; inept; over-expensive and self-satisfied and absorbed in itself bureaucracy? Which one, pick one. D. Because the system cannot be adapted (not in time, and likely, ever) to the needs of the day, there are only two options. E. Oiiii look the models are showing if we all don't do (put it here) right now it will collapse ("crumbling system"), aiiiiii!! F. You have to all do (it) right now under the penalty of (fill) because (never mentioned, p. C), no questions asked, a perfect total consensus of TV exsperts (all involved with the system somehow, step aside, independent opinion impossible) or it will collapse, oi!! G. This is the only way it can work. No, we haven't seen it sorry. First, it has not be shown that it works - and we have not seen that it does, sorry. Secondly, no other approaches were tried so there's no way to tell if they would have worked better. Especially an intelligent and effective targeting of the areas where the problem is most serious. No, by all signs and walks of it, it looks just like a plain old dogma that is the only way it can work, in the eyes and minds of believers. But there's another possibly too (yes, longread apologies, almost there): that we are reaching the end of another age of reason, intelligence, democracy and so on. The society has grown mentally lazy and self-absorbed. It does not want to ask questions and look for intelligent solutions that work. No, it wants only quick and easy answers to all and any problem that comes along to back to the happy routine (yes, "bread and circuses", how new. First, passionate democracy, followed by prosperity bringing about bread and circuses and on to authoritarianism, upheavals and back again, heroically). But are they always assured to exist? And if so, what would we do about it?

More Q-anon bullshit

Imagine what the world would be like today if this covid virus attacked those leftist liberals only. We would have been able to keep our rights and freedoms and would not be wearing clown masks or being forced to take a vaccine that will only do more harm to ones body than good. And now we all need to have a vaccine passport, and still being forced to wear a mask, to be able to live as we once did and took for granted freely. We all pretty much now live in a land of medical tyranny and emergency acts where our Canadian dictator politicians have become dictating masters over we the simple peasants. Do as we say or else it could be the gulag for us all one day. Hey, we never know, eh. This needs to change now. We must all start to demand that we be given back our rights and freedoms now or this covid crap will never end. It will be mandated that we all must keep wearing masks and take booster vaccines forever. This convid will never end if the traitorous politicians are allowed to keep it going. We see today in many red states that covid has been pretty much eradicated. Masks and vaccine passports do not exist. But yet in those blue states, covid is supposedly still running rampant. Masks and vaccine passports are required. Sadly, here in leftist liberal Canada, masks and vaccine passports are the normal for the day. Without a mask or having a vaccine passport we would all have to stay home and pretty much wait to die. What the phuk just happened? ?
