By the way, how come that you in Canada don't drive on the wrong side of the road like almost all other Commonwealth countries do? Perhaps something to do with your neighbour. Driving on the wrong side is not dangerous as long as everybody else does the same.

It's a bit embarrassing that we here in Finland have our own convoy. We don't seem to be able to think of anything original of our own. We have to copy everything from abroad. This time from you in Canada.

I have to say that I have not heard of a single incident not to mention that I would have witness myself of one here in Finland that people would argue in public about not wearing masks. In England that happens every day all the time everywhere. Tells you something doesnt it?. If you see someone not wearing a mask and you think he may be carrying the disease, what would you do? Keep as much distance as possible? On the contrary, you go in front of his face and yell that why aren't you wearing a mask. Makes sense, doesnt it?

Do you think when she becomes PM she is going to be as internationally well-known as Trudeau is?

Difficult to say. If you take the vaccine you can always argue in its favour; If you take the vaccine and don't get sick it is because of the vaccine. If you take the vaccine but get sick without the vaccine you would have ended up in hospital. If you take the vaccine and get sick and end up in hospital without the vaccine you would have died. Etc

When the European explorers went to Africa to colonize the continent they laughed at how the natives had ridiculous superstituos rituals and other kind of mambojambo to keep the bad spirits away. Can we still laugh at them considering how unquestionably we follow our own rituals?

Have the truckers already been called Putin's trolls? In Europe they certainly would. That is what you get called nowadays if you disagree with the government.

Without truckers societies would grind to a halt. Without government, would anybody even notice any difference?

Aren't they going to be tomorrow in Ottawa? So it's make or break.

How do you get people to accept a jab once a year? By saying first that they must have one every three months but then saying perhaps once a year would be enough.

Many people have taken the jab only because they didn't want to be relegated to a second class citizen-status. All for nothing.

This is just a short respite I'm afraid. However, this is basic psychology. The government gives people back their freedom which belongs to them anyway and people are thankful to the government.

It surely was a mistake to compare the unvaccinated to the Jews in the 1930s Germany. That was always going to trigger a furious backlash even from people who would otherwise agree with you. It would have been wiser to use the comparison of the Russian gulags where all unwanted people were sent to. Nobody would have been triggered by that comparison.

The hate-mongering against the unvaccinated has reached a level that people actually hope that the unvaccinated would die or at least become very seriously ill. When you tell those people about cases where people over 50s who have not been vaccinated and have smoked all their adult lives have caught the virus and are back at work after a week you can sense the disappointment with those people who so maliciously hope that the unvaccinated people would die.

Omicron seems to be very mild. A lot of my work-mates have caught the virus but are back at work after a week. It seems that the first variant in the spring of 2020 was the bad one when even Boris Johnson ended up in ICU. When very important people who most certainly don't have to wait for their turn at the back of the queue almost die then you ask what is going to happen to ordinary people.

If there is a virus that is one which has made some people completely lose their minds! Made them gone mad! That's the only conclusion one can make of what has happened recently.

This can't go on like this. People who are not vaccinated at all could be discriminated against to a certain point but if you keep on moving the goal-posts so that for example two jabs won't be enough even though it was enough earlier and you need another, people will soon get tired of it all.

Is it possible for former Presidents to run for Congress? It is certainly unusual but is it even permitted especially in the case of former two-term Presidents?

They say that you really shouldn't go to the test unless you really believe you've got the virus. That's because on one hand we should avoid congesting the system from unnecessary testing, it is crowded enough already, but on the other hand there are those other people there many of whom really got the virus so in the worst case you didn't have the virus when you went to the test but you've got it when get get back from the test.

This intentional hate-mongering towards the unvaccinated is very worrying. I guess it is silly to draw comparisons between now and the 1930s but you just can't help thinking about the similarities between the times.

French President says that the unvaccinated people should not be considered even citizens any more. The vaccination-rate in France is 90%. Why is Macron so afraid of 10% of the population? The tone in which Macron speaks about the unvaccinated would be considered totally unacceptable towards life-sentence prisoners who have in reality killed a lot of people unlike the unvaccinated people.

China is what one could really describe as a national socialist system but for obvious reasons such a term is not used. Yet, the system is strongly centrally-led mixture of ultra-capitalism and state-led economy with huge nationalistic priority and of course a strong belief that they are superior to the rest of the world.

It seems that the vaccine-passport is the stupidest experiment that has happened for a long time. With this omicron which spreads among the vaccinated as well places where you can only enter with the vaccine-passport have become worst spots of infections. I have a work-mate who is in his 50s he had no vaccination and he has smoked all his adult-life and he got the virus. He was back at work after seven days. People like him are the ones whom vaccination-fanatics absolutely hate. Some people openly wish for the death of unvaccinated people. Such hatred is openly encouraged.

The troll-factory seems to have its representatives even on this site.

This time last year I knew nobody who would have had the virus. Nowadays there have been a lot of infections at my own workplace. It is somehow reassuring to see them coming back in one piece. Some of them are back at work only after seven days but there are also others who have been away for over three weeks now. However, even those who have made the fast recovery have also said that had temperature for 2-4 days and absolute weakness to do anything. Makes kind of question the idea of asymptomatic infection. If you catch the virus you get sick. It seems quite implausible that you could get the coronavirus and not even notice it.
