Zeitgeist Posted February 23, 2022 Report Posted February 23, 2022 Border blockades are clear and the trucks are removed from downtown Ottawa. Do you think the Emergencies Act should continue to be in place? Do you support continued vaccine mandates? Quote

Grossly arbitrary and unconstitutional leadership. That is provincial jurisdiction. Premier Moe removed the mandates and now the death rate from Covid is at record levels in Saskatchewan. Canada has a better record at mitigating covid and the countries like Denmark that removed the public health measures first are seeing a spike in cases. The Crown has a primary duty to protect the citizens. Edited March 7, 2022 by Queenmandy85 Quote Socialism is the opiate of the intellectual class.

The restrictions last year that prevented me from going to BC were put in place by the BC Government. There are no travel mandated for travel within Canada.

The Crown has a primary duty to protect the citizens. Covid isn’t a health crisis anymore. Handling Covid now is manageable without mandates and restrictions, which are being lifted across Western countries. Why is Trudeau hanging onto vaccine passports and mandates federally? Why are truckers dealing with this, especially in a period of hyperinflation? Quote

Would you want to sit next to an unvaccinated person? Yes. I sat in a crowded bar beside an unvaccinated person where everyone was unmasked and people were dancing on the weekend. Loved it. Had Covid a short while ago and it barely registered. Some congestion and fatigue. Edited March 7, 2022 by Zeitgeist Quote

I understand some trepidation among elderly and immune-compromised people, so many of them will take extra precautions, mask up, and stay away from crowded places. Quote
Nexii Posted March 7, 2022 Report Posted March 7, 2022 Between the Convoy protests and Ukraine war I think we might see something of a democratic revival. Western nations are rallying as we see where authoritarianism can lead. Ironic in a way that it's being led by countries that are viewed as less democratic than us. I suppose they know all too painfully by history Quote

If I’m around an elderly or morbidly obese person indoors I’ll maintain 2 metres distance or wear a mask. Quote

Yes I would for my own sake. Only a couple of years back you sat next to a passenger never vaccinated against flu, coughing and sneezing to the heart's desire and wouldn't even think about it. Forgot, yes? But it happened, fact. And if you're scared to look out without a mask and five vaccinations for another five years or decades it's your problem, only yours, how hard is it to get? 1 Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant

Too much non-Covid suffering now after two years of privation. It’s not worth having restrictions and mandates. I mean you can have them and live under tyranny, but that’s what it is.

Reminder: Unvaccinated does not equal infected. Treating normal, healthy people like they have the plague is wrong. Reminder: Both the unvaccinated and the fully vaccinated spread covid. If you're that afraid of it, take precautions on your own and leave everyone else to do their own thing, too. 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 ~~

Harper was good at eviscerating his opponents in debates as well, but at least he understood that he had to win an election and that riling people like Zeitgeist up wasn't good enough. Do you see the problem with this comment? Please tell me that you can see it. No hablo Español. I think you know I’m using hyperbole, but I’m trying to illustrate how off the deep end politics has become in Canada. We don’t accept middle ground anymore, let alone conservative or right wing. I’m sure you attend all the same kinds of anti-Black racism sessions that I do. I’m sure you say a two page land acknowledgment that takes up about a quarter of your meetings. I’m sure that your hyper-educated urban friends, like just about everyone I know, say self-righteous pro-government things all the time, looking down on the unvaccinated, calling the Conservatives alt-right nut jobs, yada yada. Frankly it’s all become so predictable and politically correct and phoney. Why not give every politician and business leader a script to read? It will sound like anything from Macron, Trudeau, Biden. Lots of BS about equity and the environment as the public are crushed by carbon taxes and regulations up the wazoo, as our organizations become dysfunctional virtue purity contests, and our ability to defend our country or even feel proud of our country dissipates. I’ve sung from that song sheet so long my ears are sore. Edited March 7, 2022 by Zeitgeist 1 Quote

My point is that I’ve been running with that same worldview for years: smear the Americans as military adventurists as Canada rides on their defence coattails, ask for more handouts from government for a population that increasingly can’t do or think for themselves, constantly try to outshine your peers in appearing to be progressive as you don’t associate with blue collar people. That’s what our government and just about everyone in Canadian politics has become. It’s gross and anyone who questions it is some kind of freak. It’s become a national embarrassment, the holier than thou hypocritical wokester. Trudeau is the exemplar. Yet we see how he describes the opposition and how he has treated some women in his party. It’s ridiculous. Edited March 7, 2022 by Zeitgeist 1 1 Quote
