Compulsory vaccination is nothing new. This was a requirement for children in some public schools in Canada in the past. It is to protect the students from being infected with a disease being spread by people. Nobody has a right to spread disease to other people when it can be avoided or reduced.

Like everything else in life, stupid decisions can have bad consequences. Nobody has the right to infect other people with Covid.

Vaccine mandates don't force people to lose their job. 90% or more get vaccinated and continue working. It's the small minority that make the choice not to get vaccinated and chose to lose their jobs. Stupid decision. Mandates are there to protect people from getting Covid.

What qualifications do you have to say all health measures should end? Nothing.

Lots of things different about Italy. I am sure there are certain factors that determine the spread of the virus. So if the factors are different in one place, then the spread will be different.

People who oppose the health restrictions and mandates in Canada should go spend some time in China and see how they deal with Covid. Their priority is saving lives, not unlimited freedom for everyone. They lockdown cities of 12 million people and nobody is allowed to go out of their apartment for two weeks. That really puts the brake on Covid spread. No fooling around. Anybody who doesn't follow the order goes to jail. Everyone wears a mask on the street, not just in a store or business. One man interviewed said he had to have an anal swab every two days. Said it was very uncomfortable. These protesters or occupiers would be thrown in jail. They don't know what freedom and restrictions mean. Most people have had it very easy in Canada compared with China.

Sweden has had over 15 thousand deaths.

On the news, the Ottawa police are just walking around the protesters in small groups watching them. They obviously are not doing anything to clear them out. If they see anybody causing a particular problem they will deal with that, but they obviously have been told to let the protesters be. The citizens of Ottawa who live or work in the area are getting fed up with the situation as it caused businesses to shut down and the steady honking has kept people awake for days on end.

Don't forget I didn't cause the Corona Virus to come here. Also don't forget it has had serious consequences for younger people at times. Although it affects older people more seriously when they catch it, it still runs through society and affects people in all walks of life and many working people. You can't believe it is just restricted to older people. It is far worse than that. I understand it has been hard for kids to wear masks. But they had to because they take it home to their parents and grandparent. Governments are in fact now easing restrictions on businesses. Passports have actually made it easier for people because they feel more comfortable going into restaurants and on aircraft to fly. But these restrictions will be lifted in future if Covid becomes less of a threat. I also understand people are depressed. We are affected that way too . We can't visit relatives except from out in the yard in the warmer weather. Can't go to a lot of places we would like to go. I hope the virus becomes less of a threat sooner rather than later, but I am not holding my breath. The only way out of this that I know of is if more people get vaccinated and the number of people in hospital drops significantly.

You don't know me. I was born in Canada. I have been a social conservative for at least 30 years and would be on the right side of the spectrum. I am definitely not on the left side. Ironically it seems the left political parties are more concerned with protecting people from Covid than the conservatives. I am older with health issues. So I of course support the vaccinations and health restrictions. If you are older, you should be supporting the health restrictions and vaccine mandates which are there to save your life. People who oppose the restrictions are generally younger, selfish people, who couldn't care less about other people. They are only looking out for number one and want the bars, pubs, gyms, etc. to be open and don't want any mandates or restrictions or be forced to taken the trivial jab of vaccine in their arm because they are basically still babies in that sense. They heard some misinformation about the vaccine and it scared them stiff. They never grew up.

Hate to disappoint you but I don't support the Sierra Club interfering in Canada either. How old are you? You don't know anything about me.

You sound so childish. How are you not living? You seem to be able to be able to post on here as you always have.

There is a report that more protesters are on their way to Ottawa from foreign sources, the U.S. specifically. They also have money flowing in reportedly. This means these illegal blockades are being supported and an occupation is partly coming from Canada and the U.S. This is now a national security threat. The Ottawa police do not want to do anything because they say they don't want anyone to get hurt. In the meantime, the situation could get far worse while they sit on their hands.

Sweden had 15,855 Covid death. Canada had 34,033 Covid deaths. The population of Sweden is 10,416,585. The population of Canada is about 38 million.

Sweden has a little more than a third the population of Canada but had about half the number of deaths of Canada (15,885 deaths in Sweden). Likely because they did not take the health measures that Canada took. They probably could have saved thousands of lives if they had acted responsibly.

Bad Bob p.4 This is what happens when they grow up and become rebels and occupiers.

More about the type of people the occupiers would be from the tract Bad Bob.

This is part of a little tract called Bad Bob from Chick publications. It describes what these occupiers would be like. More to follow.

You must be a foreign anarchist. Go back where you came from.

A CBC commentator just said if it turns out to be true that American money and American activists are involved in this demonstration and blockade in downtown Ottawa, this will be catastrophic for the Conservatives. There will be a lot of anger in Canada. There could be extremist Trumpsters or extremist right wing activists from the U.S. of the kind that took part in the Jan. 6 capital hill riot. These kind are not interested in fighting for rights; they are looking for trouble and anarchy. That is what they thrive on.

There is a report on CBC that there may be American funds and American participants among the blockaders in downtown Ottawa. To make matters worse the Ottawa police are suggesting they may not be able to solve the problem. This is a description of anarchy.

These anarchists blockading and honking their horns continuously are the same kind of people who harassed and intimidated health care workers trying to get into hospitals.

It sounds like the authorities allowed the FN to shoot the police but didn't allow them to shoot back. I am somewhat convinced that is what happened. The police and army had their hands tied behind their back while the FN could shoot whoever they wanted. That's how things work in this country.
