The police still haven't done anything to remove the occupiers in Ottawa. They have become more entrenched and more determined. We will see how they react when they are removed by force in the coming days or weeks. I wouldn't count on all of them being peaceful. There may be a few seriously bad characters among them who are willing to burn down the house so to speak. Some have said they are willing to die for the cause. We also don't know how the blockaders in southern Alberta will react when they are removed by force. They are a different kind of crowd than the Ambassador bridge crowd which were mainly city folks from the Windsor area. The Alberta crowd include as lot of red neck radicals kind of like Trumpsters from the deep south.

Have you spread Covid to your family, parents, grandparents yet? Are they still alive? Grow up and think of others for a change. Pretty simple concept isn't it.

This is a very unwise thing to say or promote because vaccination is the only way out of the pandemic. By promoting the idea people should not get vaccinated you may be costing other people to lose their lives unnecessarily or harm their health if they have not been vaccinated and catch Covid. Everyone can hold their own opinion, but if you oppose vaccination, it is better to keep it to yourself. Another fact is that families have been greatly harmed and divided over differences on the issues related to the pandemic such as vaccination. People have lost friends. We all need to rethink this whole thing and find a way to get through it without causing division and harming relationships. Since vaccination is the only way health authorities say we can get through this pandemic, the idea of promoting vaccination should be held as sacred. But we should go easy on anti-vaxxers in our personal relationships and families and those who oppose vaccination should restraint themselves in their comments and allow the world to get vaccinated.

You raise a very good point. I am listening and I agree with you. The cause of the anger in the world may be a spiritual or Biblical one. That is, it may be a result of the fall of man or separation from God. We are all born with a sinful, corrupt nature according to what the Bible teaches. That may be at the root of the problem. Many bible believers and prophecy experts say we are in the last days. This anger in the world may be a sign that we are in the last days. When I say last days, I mean we may be in the days before Jesus Christ returns. The Bible speaks about very troubled times in the latter days. "1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, {false…: or, one who foments strife} 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; " 2 Timothy 3:1 KJV If what this passage says is true in the times we are living in, that would explain the anger in the world. Certainly anger would go with these faults. Having stated the negative, the positive should be stated. It should also be mentioned there is still hope for those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. There is a bright future of joy and happiness.

Why do you not care about other people in society? Inspired by the Devil?

A criminologist from Ottawa said some of the radical anarchists have taken their children to the Ottawa occupation to use their children as human shields.

The restrictions are to protect citizens. Why are you so self-centred?

Nonsense. The majority of Canadians oppose the illegal occupation of Ottawa and blockading of vital border and trade crossings. The protesters in Ottawa are a hard core group of anarchists who want to over throw the democratically-elected government. The more radical ones have been attracted there from everywhere, but they risk encountering serious consequences at some point.

"13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Matthew 7:13, 14 KJV

Pure garbage.

Quote 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. Unquote Romans 1:3,4 KJV Notice here in God's inspired word that God has ordained rulers to enforce law and order. The rulers determine the laws and their enforcement, not the ruled. The responsibility of the ruled is to obey the laws. Those who refuse are rebelling against the God-ordained authorities and risk the authorities coming down on them with force in whatever way the authority deem appropriate. It becomes especially difficult when you have a large number of protesters who have convinced themselves they are on the right side of the law or an issue. These verses should serve as a warning to those who think they are above the law of the land. Tragically the Bible was taken out of public schools and many have imbibed the idea that individual citizens are final judge of what is right or wrong. Morality has become a relative thing based on whatever seems popular.

The injunction has been granted and the time for leaving the Ambassador bridge was 7PM EST. The protesters said they are going to join hands and not leave. Penalty if charged and convicted is one year in prison and $100,000 fine. Time's up. Mob mentality has taken over.

Yes, I hope the authorities will end it soon because it is hurting thousands of workers and their families and the economy of Canada is taking a big hit. Also the people of Ottawa have suffered long enough under this tyranny.

If you watched the police shut down the Fairy Creek old growth forest blockades, you will know how this ends. Most likely, the blockaders will be carried away one by one by the police and charged. Probably happen within the next few days or so unless they decide to obey the injunction which is coming soon. This is how it may end.

I gave the links. All health authorities say vaccination reduces the chances of catching Covid and reduces the spread. I accept the authorities advice. I don't have to give you a detailed mathematical figure. I don't think you are being honest or sincere. Figure it out yourself and do some reading. You obviously don't accept what almost all authorities have said and almost all reports on the internet.

I know restrictions have an impact on young people, but we are still in a pandemic and measures such as vaccination are extremely important. That is why young people are being vaccinated. Schools in many provinces are letting kids go back to school to help their development proceed. We can't eliminate all restrictions because health authorities say we are not at the point yet where we can do that. The pandemic is still spreading. Vulnerable people are still dying. So government and society must continue to try to protect vulnerable people and our economy and health care system from being overloaded.

The reason is because if 10% are unvaccinated and both can catch Covid, then naturally the number of cases will have a fairly high proportion who are vaccinated. Simple math. But vaccinated people are still catching it less than unvaccinated and less likely to spread it. Nobody says vaccination prevents people completely from catching it. It simply reduces the chances and more importantly it reduces the chances of serious illness. That's the point of vaccination. The number of unvaccinated people in hospitals per the ratio of vaccinated to unvaccinated is still greater. That is the point.

So?

I agree not to hurl insults. I hope you also agree to that. The reason for mandates and health restrictions is not to "strip ...services from people". The result for health measures is to slow down the spread and protect the population.

Most websites speaking on vaccination and stats also say: Vaccination reduces hospitalizations in general for all ages. Older people with comorbities do end up hospital more often and are more likely to die, but you left out the fact that younger people also catch Covid and sometimes end up in hospital and die and younger people also often get long-lasting health issues from Covid. It is not only the older people who end up in hospital. Just because people under 65 are less likely to be hospitalized and less likely to die, does not mean it does not happen. So what is your point?

Omicron: Vaccinated are less likely to spread BA.2, study finds (cnbc.com) Quote Transmission rates among unvaccinated people were higher with BA.2 compared to BA.1, indicating unvaccinated people were carrying a higher viral load with BA.2. Although fully vaccinated people are more likely to catch BA.2 than the previous strain, they are less likely to spread it to others, researchers found. People who received a booster were even less likely to transmit the virus than people who were fully vaccinated. “This indicates that after a breakthrough infection, vaccination protects against further transmission, and more so for BA.2 than BA.1,” the scientists found. The study also noted that the higher susceptibility to infection and greater transmissibility of BA.2 will likely result in more extensive spread of the virus among unvaccinated kids in schools and day care.

Sir, it is pointless to discuss with you. You are on here to throw insults and not interested in learning anything. Waste of time.

Omicron: Vaccinated are less likely to spread BA.2, study finds (cnbc.com) Get educated..

I don't debate with ignorance. Try a search engine. There are countless websites that say it reduces the spread.
