Maybe try life in the Dominican Republic where 20% of the population live on $2 a day. Or their next door neighbour, Haiti, where the number of people living on nothing may be far higher. Canada has one of the highest standards of living in the world, vast opportunities for anyone who wants to make an effort and work for something. We also likely have more social assistance programs than anywhere else in the world. Jesus said the poor would always be with us. I',m not sure how you change that? Karl Marx had an idea but his ideas created misery for billions of people in the world in the USSR, China, and other places. What would you propose as the solution to create your utopia? Fascism or Communism or Socialism? Take your pick. There is no answer and no utopia possible in this world. We just have to learn to live with it. Donate to your soup kitchen.

'It ain't over:' COVID-19 won't become an endemic until the world is vaccinated | CTV News Quote An "endemic" is described—in its most simple definition—as a time in which there is constant presence of a virus, but it's not actively spreading. While health officials in Canada have started to hint the country is approaching endemic rates of infection, other experts warn we may still be months away from achieving it. On this week's episode of Life Unmasked, the team speaks with two such experts—a professor of immunology and a special advisor with the World Health Organization (WHO)—who cautions that while Canada may be faring well, COVID-19 can't be considered endemic unless the majority of people on planet earth have been vaccinated. Unquote It seems many believe we can take off the masks, throw them away, and forget the health guidelines and go back to normal because they believe the pandemic is over. They are completely wrong in my opinion. There are still roughly the same numbers of people dying every day from Covid or Covid assisted reasons. Protests in many countries prove that people are tired of all the health restrictions and the effects the pandemic has had on life. I don't blame them for being tired, worn out, and frustrated by the pandemic. But that doesn't change the fact that the pandemic is still there and much of the world has seen very little vaccination and virus is still spreading. There may also be more mutations of the virus down the road. We simply don't know and we don't know when this thing will end. So people in the 20 to 50 age group mainly seem to think they won't be effected so the world should stop the health restrictions and just go back to normal. They are wrong. This is a very self-centred point of view. It totally ignores those in society who may be seriously effected by Covid. It is not the kind of world we should desire. So the answer to the question Is the pandemic over is NO.

Convoy protesters seem to think there is no Covid virus spreading and many seem to think it is over. Or alternatively, they simply don't care. This is false.

"To kind of channel a song that I think everyone's heard of … it ain't over till it's over," Dr. Peter Singer, Special Advisor to the Director General of the WHO, told Life Unmasked. "And it's definitely, it ain't over." The WHO says that in order to end the acute phase of the pandemic by the end of 2022, they have set a goal that every country in the world should vaccinate about 70 per cent of their population. They hope to help facilitate that goal by July. "And we're not totally on track for that," he said, adding that it's also dangerous to assume Omicron is the last COVID-19 variant of concern.

Yes, a lot of these people think this is the American republic and they are following far right extremist ideology of the American far right, which hates any kind of government authority or health measures. They will get a surprise. I heard the police have been taking a lot of photographs and collecting a lot of information. Investigations, charges, and criminal prosecutions will likely go on for years. The investigations and counter actions by authorities will not end when Ottawa is cleared.

You are a far right American extremist trying to stir s__t in another country, but you lost all credibility with your nonsense.

When will you grow up? You must be a 50 year old kid. Total rubbish comments continually.

The protesters are nothing more than the young age group of yahoos that dance around in the streets screaming their heads off.

Only the dumbass protesters who don't know what they are supporting for the most part dislike Trudeau. These are the yahoos dancing around the street and screaming their heads off in Ottawa and other cities. By your comments you are an American far right/Confederate extremist who posts nothing but nonsense.

Ever heard of a dummkopf? People who don't believe in the Covid health measures and restrictions are dummkopfs.

If you had bothered to read my comment I said they should not ride their horses through the crowd. How ignorant can you be?

Nobody should be there protesting up in front of the police line let alone a fragile old woman. I saw her on the news. Those protesters have been warned countless times to go home and what they're doing is illegal, maybe criminal. A lot of them will be arrested and charged because of their stupidity. I admit, I don't think the police should have ridden their horses through the crowd though. Not sure what the reason for that was. Hopefully they will be told not to.

The illegal protesters and occupiers shout "freeeeedom"! They want the freedom to expose everyone else to Covid.

We have seen a lot misinformation on Covid vaccines and the health restrictions, which the protesters oppose. This website has some useful information about the subject. What Does the Bible Say about Coronavirus (COVID-19).htm? (christianbiblereference.org)

The Covid restrictions were being reduced in provinces anyway. Nothing to do with the protest. Do you know who the prince of this world is?

Nonsense. This occupation has dragged on for three weeks and the police didn't seem to get their act together until the Emergency Measures Act was enacted. It's hard to deny that the Act seems to have done the trick.

An abominable false analogy. " 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! {call…: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc} 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" Isaiah 5: 20, 21 KJV

How are you able to be a judge? What do you know about God and his Word? "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved." Matthew 10:22 KJV

"13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers," 1 Peter 2:13 KJV Many people don't see it and think they are the judge of what is legal or illegal.

"9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. {government: or, dominion}" 2 Peter 2:9, 10 KJV

Jesus is the Son of God and as such is the second person of the triune God. God inspired men to write the Bible, which says: "1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. {ordained: or, ordered} 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. " Romans 13: 1-6 KJV

Totally false. martial law [ˈˌmärSHəl ˈlô] NOUN military government, involving the suspension of ordinary law. "unlike the previous military interventions, the general did not declare martial law" There is no "martial law" being imposed in Canada. Far from it. There is an Emergency Act, which is utilizing the police to enforce the laws in specific locations to clear illegal occupiers. It has no requirement or effect on the rest of the country. There is no military government and no suspension of ordinary law as required for it be defined as martial law.

You support subversion and anarchy under the cloak of some kind of tie to religion but have idea of what the Bible teaches. You appear to be a far right extremist in the U.S.

Provinces are removing Covid restrictions to varying degrees as the pandemic warrants it. So these illegal protesters really have no justification at all for what they are doing. They are there for other reasons such as a desire to raise hell and encourage each other in subversion, exactly what Satan's agenda is. Criminal minds relish anarchy, rebellion against authority, and criminal activity. That is what they thrive on.

My opinion is based on the Bible. Protesters are assaulting officers. They have attempted to remove officer's weapons. These protesters are criminals. They are not normal people. Thankfully most people are not like these ones. They have criminal minds, and no fear of authority. Without fear of authority and respect for the law, we have anarchy. You supporting them demonstrates what kind of person you are. Sad.

That's your opinion. Not mine.
