Wow, the commentary here is really disturbing. There are so many things to note about how our "Government" handled this virus so poorly. The lack of consistency is one of the major problems. Example: I can't go to a HEALTH club (note the word HEALTH) but I can stand with 500 people in Costco? Wake up everyone. They discredit an anti viral drug to use against Covid but pass that same drug out in India to help them. Then Pfizer and Merck come up with, you guessed it, an anti viral drug. This is all about Capitalism, it has nothing to do with health any longer. Our Governments have been run by large Corporations for far too long. I'm glad that the truckers are taking a stance. Maybe there is a back story and agenda I don't know about, but at least someone is making a stance in some way. Damn Canadians. We all sit on our couches and complain, or we post in social media thinking we made a stance. Or post here, like I am doing now. LOL
Let's face it, when this hit, nobody had any idea what to do. So they did what they thought was best. 2 years later and we are still doing the same thing and expecting different results. Isn't that everyones favorite definition of insanity. Why didn't we spend all that money on more healthcare workers, expedite and pay to teach nurses. Why aren't there any more ICU beds and ventilators? Why do I personally know of 3 high school students who were still in High School full time, and collected the CERB and now have $30,000.00 of my tax dollars in their account and they are not being asked to pay it back.
Does anyone realize that a vaccine comes out and guess what, we have the largest amount of Covid cases ever, but there can't be a link right? They tell us the vaccine lowers the symptoms and less people will be hospitalized? I see that is working out. The CDC even changed the definition of a vaccine for this vaccine alone. This isn't a vaccine. They want us taking it every 3 months. This is simply another medication that they created to have even more revenue for life. Look up the person that created the vaccine for polio and was disturbed when they asked him if he was going to patent a cure that can save the world. He gave it away. If this was as bad as we are told, wouldn't all of these Doctors and scientists have come together to save the planet? Not to simply raise profits. They tell us give us a few weeks to flatten the curve? New variants? The unvaccinated? Always and excuse and an agenda to pass the blame on everyone but themselves. We keep buying into it. We're Canadian, home of the True North strong and FREE? Strong and FREE? It's humorous. Maybe it's time to change our national anthem.
If your Government has ever lied to you, why would you trust them so quickly? For those who aren't sure, yes, they lie to us almost daily.
When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Guess what we have now? (V for Vendetta sure had a point)
I don't have all the answers and I am the last one that should be complaining considering the way I live. I do pay far too much tax for a system we have allowed. For those that think "voting" is the only way we have to make a change, I'm sorry it is far too late for that. We've created a system that is bought and paid for by Corporations. We've created a system of liars and ZERO accountability. Sounds like a really great way for democracy. So lets all go out and vote for the next person that can take away our freedoms. The worst part may be what our children are learning about democracy. They have learned the government is in total control and they have no say in anything.
Sorry, I likely won't debate all of this as I totally understand we will never sway each others opinion. Well I have one too, and this all has nothing to do with being about health. if it was, cigarettes would have been banned a long long time ago.
Hope you all have a great day and I hope the world understands one day that TRUCKERS RUN THE WORLD. Not BIG PHARMA.
