Why do you pick information on Israel which is totally different than many other countries? Something suspicious about that. Look at the statistics for the U.S. A graph shows unvaccinated people in the U.S. have a death rate of about 100 times greater than people who are fully vaccinated with their booster shot. How do death rates from COVID-19 differ between people who are vaccinated and those who are not? - Our World in Data Fully vaccinated people are 93% less likely to die of COVID compared to unvaccinated people Here is the COVID death rate for vaccinated people vs. unvaccinated people | Fortune There are no lockdowns for the vaccinated. There are vaccine mandate and passports but no lockdowns. Do you know the difference? Nov. 10, 2021 – While COVID-19 vaccine mandates have sparked lawsuits and protests, the data shows that they’re working and increasing vaccination rates. .COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates Are Working, Public Health Experts Say (webmd.com)

This thread has become nothing more than an echo chamber with a handful of "freedom" protesters echoing each other constantly. Here is a news article describing how Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has gone off the deep end in ignoring medical experts and supporting the anti-restrictions "freedom" convoy. He is completely out of touch with not only medical experts, but out of sync with other political leaders in Canada. Political scientists say Sask premier's stance on vaccines is unprecedented (msn.com)

This subject has pretty well been beaten to death the past couple years. It is tragic if someone has a serious effect from the vaccine, but from what I have heard regularly, it is extremely rare. The issue is that over a million people have died from Covid in the world, and about 33,000 in Canada have died. Many who survived Covid have lasting negative health effects. So the point I am making is the vaccine is the only real protection the world has to this deadly virus. It is terrible if someone died as a result, but it is like a war. Look at the millions who died fighting for their country in wars. Even police officers risk their lives every day to protect society but occasionally one of them gets killed. We don't abolish the police because of that. We didn't ask for this virus. Our authorities are doing the best they can to protect us from it. Thousands, maybe tens of thousands of lives have been saved in Canada by vaccination. So tell me what is the rationale for opposing something that saves so many lives. Surely you can't say because a rare case has negative consequences that vaccination shouldn't happen. Your comment is that of an anti-vaxxer. I have a grand daughter who has been an anti-vaxxer for years and she has put four kids in danger because she caught Covid and spread it to her family. She could have died and left the three little ones and the older kid with no mother. However, she is set in her thinking and I can't do anything about it except pray. She survived Covid although I heard she was quite ill for a few days. Thankfully her husband had to be vaccinated for his job.

According to this article eliminating mandates and vaccine passports will reduce freedom for the majority. The problem is in the case of health measures, imposing certain restrictions does reduce the freedom for some people who refuse to get vaccinated and removing those restrictions likewise reduces freedoms for other people. For example, mandates are imposed to protect workers and people they deal with from the risk of catching Covid from unvaccinated people. If you remove the mandates, then you increase the chances of people catching Covid in the workplace or spreading Covid to the public by unvaccinated workers. A similar situation exists with the vaccine passports. If you remove the passports some people who are unvaccinated will then start going to restaurants, gyms, movie theatres, etc. and increase the risk to the vaccinated people.

It was reported in the media that Trump had some harsh words about Trudeau lately and threw his support behind the convoys and occupation of Ottawa. A lot of the money donated to Go Fund Me for this came from anonymous foreign sources, some of which were donations over $30,000. Could this money be coming from American Trumpsters? Donald Trump Called Trudeau A 'Far Left Lunatic' Who 'Destroyed' Canada With COVID-19 Mandates (msn.com) Ottawa protest battle lines harden on both sides amid concerns chance for peaceful end has passed (msn.com)

Ottawa residents should join and file a class action lawsuit to claim the ten million dollars from Go Fund Me and an immediate injunction to freeze the funds until the lawsuit is settled. The money could be used to compensate citizens for all the threats, abuse, assaults, loss of income of businesses, defacing the downtown property, a very loud noise effecting the health and well-being of the citizens, and disruption of the lives of Ottawa citizens and reimburse the taxpayers for policing costs. The steady noise is a major offense. This is nothing more than an American-inspired, Jan. 6, type of Trumpster occupation. The similarities are too great to ignore. Trump has already thrown his support behind the anarchists which further proves a connection. In addition to the massive amounts of anonymous money donated to GFM, most of which likely came from American Trumpsters. According to this article, the chances of a peaceful end to this occupation may have already passed.

According to a court case I mentioned above, a 14 year old has the right to decide.

"Who gets to decide when a 14-year-old wants to change gender? The child, the hospital, the battling parents? A B.C. case raises difficult questions about parental rights and about how young is too young to make medical decisions. The result is a messy ethical and legal tangle “I have a male brain that doesn’t match up with the body I’m in,” says the Grade 9, Surrey, B.C., student, who was the female gender at birth. “It’s like being trapped in a cage.” Max is now at the centre of a complicated legal fight over who gets to decide the course of treatment for his gender dysphoria. Max and his mom, Sarah, with the support of the gender clinic at B.C. Children’s Hospital, want to proceed with a treatment plan that would involve injecting Max with testosterone — a key step, they say, in Max’s desire to transition from a female to a male body. But Max’s father, Clark, who is separated from Sarah and shares joint custody of Max, believes things are moving too fast and worries about the treatment’s risks. Why can’t Max wait until he’s an adult before taking such a big step? What if Max comes to regret his decision, but the changes are irreversible? Doesn’t the father get to have a say in the matter at all? The case raises difficult questions about parental rights, about child autonomy, about how young is too young to make serious medical decisions. The result is a messy ethical and legal tangle, where a number of deeply interested parties — all with competing points of view on this issue, and all with the child’s best interest in mind — are at odds over how to proceed. . unquote Who gets to decide when a 14-year-old wants to change gender? The child, the hospital, the battling parents? | National Post This is a result of the new "woke" or progressive society/government catering to the LGBT movement and rejecting our historic Judeo-Christian roots which would never countenance such a thing. Incidentally the father in this case, who was trying to protect his 14 yr old daughter (or son depending how you view it) was sentenced to a six month jail term and a $30,000 fine for breaking a court order by releasing information about this case. This is the punishment now in Canada for interfering with an evil system by refusing to obey a court order limiting what he could say publicly about the case. Why were they trying to silence him?

Are you recommending people be vigilantes? Law enforcement is police business.
-
Are you kidding? Of course parents should and do love their children no matter what. But nobody in a school should be giving them the idea they can be a different gender than what they were born. That is child abuse and should be a criminal offense. People are not born into a certain orientation. That again is ridiculous. A person is what they are biologically born as, either male of female. You obviously have swallowed the sick progressive delusions.
-
You say it is nobody else's business. Ask the parents whose family are affected by Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity agenda of schools where they teach school kids they can choose what sex they want to be. Outrageous and offensive.
-
Suggesting people do something about it themselves is ridiculous and you know it.
-
Depends whether you live near the occupied areas or not. Nothing about the occupation is overblown. People have been harassed, threatened, intimidated, kept awake by the noise of horns blowing steadily.
-
Science has not proven people are born that way. There is no different gene or anything biological to prove that. It is more due to social influences.

"Davis also said that given the size of some donations – some are in excess of $30,000 – and the speed that the money poured in, she thinks there’s good reason to wonder where the money is coming from. “The amount of money that's been raised, in the short period of time that that's happened, is very interesting,” she said. “It raises a lot of questions about the organic nature of that fundraising activity. Were these all people who were interested in the anti-mandate aspects of the convoy? Or was there something else driving interest in the protest?” Security experts concerned about possible ‘threat financing’ tied to trucker convoy (msn.com) When large amounts of money, like over $30,000 is coming from foreign unidentified sources, it should raise alarm bells as this could be a threat to national security. Must be some very rich or powerful foreign actors behind this. Could it even be foreign governments who are trying to cause anarchy and instability in our democracy?

When you throw words like "fascist" or "Nazi" around you show your ignorance and extremism.

If there was an election now, I think Trudeau might win a majority. The Conservatives are out of touch with most Canadians.
-
Yes, the protesters are a big group. But don't forget there are 38 millions Canadians and I'm pretty sure they don't support extremist law-breakers or people who want to destroy our democratic system and eliminate the health measures to protect Canadians.

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra is turning out to be a very sensible speaker. He met with some truckers today and talked with them. He explained to the media that he understands how Canadians are frustrated with the pandemic and all the health measures that have been taken to fight the pandemic. Many Canadians have done their part to get vaccinated, and follow the health guidelines. We don't know where this pandemic is going, but health care workers have been working overtime under unbearable conditions to help people who have been infected. Thousands of people have had their surgeries put on hold. Many have died. Canadians need to hang in there. We need to get through this and keep the health care system going. Alghabra is turning out to be a remarkable leader.

"20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: {Wisdom: Heb. Wisdoms, that is, Excellent wisdom} 21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:" Proverbs 1:20-28 KJV This whole so-called freedom protest is nothing more than a mass of anarchists. This will not work out well for those involved and supporting this. God is opposed to anarchists and law-breakers. They are on the losing side. Government has the right and power to take whatever action is necessary to protect the people. That could take any form.

There have been weapons seized that were coming into the occupation in Ottawa. There is also information from American intelligence and law enforcement that there are American actors involved in this.

"7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. " Proverbs 1:7 KJV Pointing out that anarchists and those who support them need to change their thinking. Supporting unlawful occupations is not wise. The word repent means change and many need to change their thinking. Some on the forum are acting like spoil brats and just trying to stir the pot. There are two thousand more protesters expected this weekend. If anyone thinks this problem is going to go away, they need to wake up. This is anarchy and the potential for far more trouble is real.

You will find out when we see how this so-called freedom protest goes in the coming days and weeks. I assume you condone the occupation of downtowns and disrupting everyone's life and blockading of highways, etc. These are all illegal activities and can only be described as anarchy. If you approve of blockading highways and streets, you have defined yourself as a lawbreaker and anarchist.
