myata Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 A slew of confirmed or suspected Omicron cases in GTA today linked to South Africa. So all this PCR harassment of travelers was for nothing. UK didn't have PCR and has cases. Canada had PCR and has cases. How hard is it to get a PCR test in Namibia? A dumb and pointless show deeded only for the bureaucrats to cover their ...s. Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeitgeist Posted December 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 These are ridiculous barriers to freedom of movement. It’s disgusting what our own governments are imposing on citizens. I think it’s extremely oppressive and a waste of our tax dollars. Almost all of our vulnerable citizens are fully vaccinated. How can we allow this to continue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeitgeist Posted December 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 I just visited three US states during this short window before our government reimposes draconian testing and quarantine requirements that will make it nearly impossible for regular people and families to travel outside Canada. In these Great Lakes states no one has to wear masks indoors. Signs on some businesses say that unvaccinated people must wear masks but no one is enforcing it. In Ontario we all must wear masks indoors, whether or not we’re vaccinated, and we must show vaccine passports to enjoy basic freedoms like going to a restaurant or movie theatre. We’re simply not as free as Americans. I’m surprised at Ford. Our politicians don’t have minds of their own and follow the WHO directives from Beijing unquestioningly.

Zeitgeist Posted January 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Even the sucky Toronto Star is questioning the need for testing travellers coming into Canada. Why are we testing asymptomatic or people with mild symptoms at all? What a waste of resources. Reserve tests for very sick people who need to be admitted to hospital, so that they can be treated. Let’s stop pretending that Canada is at risk of Covid entering the country. What a joke. https://apple.news/AgGSS_S7nQZev-DSIfb00KA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myata Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) UK and Israel scrapped testing requirements. It's not about reason and science, only control over the populace. In some societies there's still a perception that authorities have to show accountability and even on the level of common sense these measures cannot be justified.

Zeitgeist Posted January 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Our federal politicians are such reckless over-spenders. Wasteful bureaucracy that doesn’t lead to better outcomes, though it does slow down shipments, add costs to travellers, and upset a lot of people. Stupid policies.

myata Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Sometimes stupidity is a sign of a status and privilege.

But the stupid testing added over $1000 to their trip. And they're vaccinated. It's just a money grab now. 1 Quote "There are two different types of people in the world - those who want to know and those who want to believe." ~~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeitgeist Posted February 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 End all testing requirements at the border, ports, and airports. We should also end the requirement of vaccination and vaccine passports.

myata Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 There has to be something to hold bureaucratic decisions to at least a minimal standard of sanity and reality. It can be tradition and social conventions; it can be a working and effective system of checks and balances in a democratic government. It can be judicial, objective, impartial and timely. But can it be: none, just nothing? I doubt that as it wouldn't seem logical. And now we have empirical experience too.

I went through a phase where I was obsessed with Egyptology. Did you know that the Egyptians shoved a giant poker up the noses of their slaves to their brains? It damaged a certain part of the brain and made them docile and subservient, it made them better slaves. I'm not saying this is what's happening. I'm just saying it reminds me of how the Egyptians treated their slaves.

You’re not allowed to board a plane or interprovincial train unless you’re vaccinated in Canada. Unvaccinated people can travel to and from the UK, no vaccine passport required.
