Trudeau could have solved his problem early on by meeting with the truckers in a neutral setting and starting off the meeting by telling them two things. First, the truckers are heroes for keeping the economy moving during the pandemic. Second, in a democracy, people are not required to agree on everything but they are required to listen to to others and try to find common ground. Then let the truckers have their say. Then pledge to start the process of winding down the mandates that were set to be wound down in any case. Crisis over.

I spent so much time watching live feeds from Ottawa yesterday. Protests are definitely not over there. Big protests in Calgary and throughout the country too.

Wilton Simpson is also likely blocking the taking up of HB 103, constitutional (permitless) carry, while claiming that he supports it. Of course, since concealed carry permitting falls under the office of the Secretary of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and he's running to be said Secretary, he has to sound like that or it would be a death knell to his campaign.

Looks like I'm going to spend the entire day playing hide and seek with my sense of humor. I've lost it.

Here's one for the kiddies: When your teacher asks you to come up with an antonym for "Altruistic", you can say "Altrudeauistic."

Newsom is not letting the pandemic go. Just changing the name to endemic, and calling themselves SMARTER.

Shots, Masks, Awareness, Readiness, Testing, Education, Rx.

Same S**t different day I guess.

He did say they will have 3000 clinical staff ready to attack the virus wherever an oubreak is found within CA. Sounds like people knocking at your home door and jabbing by force.

This will go together with assembly bill 1993.

Looks like the committee hearing is set for March 13th.

Coffee and Covid Super Round-up Edition:

The state can do whatever it wants to you and when you think you're effectively opposing it, it will immediately crush you and rewrite history with itself as the savior.

Nuclear missiles and F-35s indeed.

ironically (or by design) Canada's approach actually incentivizes the truckers to stick to their guns and wait it out. There's no incentive to leave and go home now that they're already on the list.

“US authorities lack reliable information about natural immunity levels and vaccine performance” - This is foreshadowing of their “need” to establish a national tracking system, yes?

The telling thing, the most telling thing, is that Newsom just said the endemic phase is here, but, also mind you, the pandemic will never end. So we can have both, (the doublethink is on the move), and conflate both... "So neither will my power grab end, No! It goes on FFFOOOOORRREEEEEEVVVVEEERRR"

Saw this on Twitter...

We went from "15 days to slow the spread" to "you're fired if you don't get the jab" to "your bank accounts are frozen if you protest against us."

Somehow we are still the conspiracy theorists.

I find it rather amazing that they plan to go after anyone who protested in Ottawa

Will they go after people who donated money too? I guess that would include me

They were threatening their dogs in Canada too. Not how to get the people on your side!

Trudeau, with these bank account freezes, has done more to undermine the world banking system than the great depression.

Who will trust any bank in any country anymore?

Things are going to get really bad really fast if this isn't reined in quickly.
