If that hockey tournament would have been held prior to June 20th 2022, and you or your children over 12 were "not fully vaccinated": you would have been turned back at the border.

Unvaxxed Canadians are STILL not (legally) permitted entry to the USA.

Actually Canada did not let the unvaxxed in until 10/1/22. I know because my daughter lives in Canada and we could not visit until AFTER their baby dictator finally allowed us in. incredibly stupid! Even worse that the USA is still denying entry to anyone from any other country that is unvaxxed...except when you walk across the southern border that is.

MIghtn't having an even truer tyrant convince more Canadians of their plight, though? I know people think that it could result in a hole too deep to climb out of, esp. since y'all were on the wrong side of the tyranny/Second Amendment issue since the 1770s (sorry/not sorry), but there must still be some rational Canadians who've read, say, Brave New World, if not Animal Farm and 1984?

Ah, if ‘twere that easy, Fla Mom. The Bouncy Castle Street Insurrection was attempted last year in -73F temps, and look at how that worked out for us. Perhaps many outside the Maple Leaf border were enervated by the trucker/supporters bravado, but our hopes were eventually trampled as quickly as Ottawa police horses can trample a disabled Indigenous woman on an snowy street.

More than a few up here in the frozen tundra have been dystopian novel-ed. The problem is our first-past-the-post electoral system with six -yes, six! - political parties: Liberal (JT’s leftist/socialist party), NDP (socialist), Bloc (Quebec French Canadian provincial party that postures as a federal party), CPC (ever-so-slightly right-of-middle conservative party), PPC (upstart conservative party that claims to be realio trulio conservative, and splits the conservo vote), Green Party. Oopsy, how could I forgot the seventh, the most powerful party; it’s the same powerful party that rules the US - the guvmint-paid MSM party endlessly shilling their glib, talking-head lies, reminding us that JT is our rightful saviour.

And so we have the Blue-ribbon Canuck recipe for minority guvmints. Currently, JT’s Libs are propped up by the NDP, and this Lib minority gov’t lasts until 2025 (Munsch scream). The rest of the popular vote is spread amongst the other four parties.

But, back to the original question. Alas, it seems in Starsandstripesland there is a similar problem with absolute tyranny not convincing people of their plight - and with a potential of Presidenterina KH (Munsch scream redux). Perhaps both countries will be convincingly convinced by two female (can I say female?) tyrants who will, in tyrant fashion, convince us that tyrants are real tyrants in a convincing fashion. Cackle.

One must remember CDN/US history. When you kicked the crown out in 1776 the loyalists who LOVED the crown fled north. So the rule loving obedient types are the descendants of a LOT of Canadians.

Which is why Canada was granted our country, we fought for diddly squat.

personally I'm from the UK but pops fought the commies in the '56 revolution and fled for his life to the UK. So I grew up in a vehemently anti-communist household.

In early 2021 I browsed comments at a mainstream but left-leaning site that, apparently to not totally alienate all its paying clientele, actually permits a certain amount of Badthink, albeit from those disgusting reactionaries who can't adopt Progressive values. The conversation was along the lines of how wonderful it was, with the new Biden Administration) that "Politics can get back to business as usual."

Please, allow me to nominate Turdeau to the front of the punt line.

In New Brunswick the other day, Lord Goodhair barely escaped irate villagers bearing hockey sticks flying "Fuck Trudeau" flags.

They effectively blocked the road into an event Turdeau was attending, forcing his driver and tax payer funded security team to detour.

The incident was ghosted by government subsidized legacy media outlets. (If they don't report it: did it really happen?)

He can't flee Canadian protesters forever though.

As we watch, and wait and see, Ardern turned out, soon Biden and who knows which other "leaders", we'll see this as more proof, to add to Jeff's great article of a few weeks ago, that there is, in fact, a one world government already in place and "leaders" like Ardern are only in power for as long as these shadowy figures find it useful.

This is not a good thing.

They are packaging it to a very tired base of millions of people who will get their hopes up. It’s done on purpose that way. They are slowly getting rid of all the tyrants to give the illusion the people are winning. If the people were winning these evil criminals would’ve been given their prosecution papers and life sentences 2 years ago. Instead they were allowed to operate and destroy at will for 3 years. Then go out on their “own” terms to retire somewhere tropical with a plane load of taxpayer money. Ya, sure, the people won that round 🙄

There does seem to be a One World Government working. And it doesn't have to be a building say in New York City with a 'NWO' sign over its main entrance. It can be a de facto centralized power with unlimited funding and an unlimited ability to open up and close an infinity of coordinating front organizations. And if the Fake Pandemic/Covid PsyOpt has taught us anything, it might be that this New World Order Thing is based in and upon the collective Western power structure and is controlled by the Money Power. This by perceived operation, how we see things working.

BUT ... we see the Rest of the World decoupling from this Western Perverse Thing in disgust. 2022 has come and gone ... and the world in now bi-polar by cooperation and mulit-polar by self interest ... and as it always was. The insanely clownish West presumably under what seems to be the old Anglo-Saxon Imperium (City of London/Wall Street/Central Banking... i.e. the Money Power) is cracking. This decoupling of the rest of the world is probably the biggest event in 2020. And maybe of the last 100 or so years.

Maybe the Western based Money Power thinks it can re-invent itself. But how can this be with the entirety of the rest of the world turning is back on One World Western Centralized Rule? And this THING of the West no longer has the support of its own people. We even see the faint wisps of weakening of The Program at Davos. Fewer heads of state showing up at the forum from the G8 or G20. Elon Musk declining the invite. More and more people are simply laughing at the absurdity of WEF and Davos. Even Santa Klaus is beginning to look the pompous fool he always has been. Ten years ago this would not have been the case.

Something here hast to break. And perhaps it already has. Since the events of 2022, there are now some rays of hope.

I gotta tell ya, Doc, that my initial response to her announcement was that the world just became a slightly better place with Ardern shorn of her power for harm.

Then I remembered how many dishonest, incompetent and corrupt former politicians are running around using the influence of their now-relinquished power to manipulate voters, legislators and business leaders.

I suppose that there's room for both rejoicing and caution, each in their turn. I'll share this moment of happiness with you, and try to avoid regretting it ex post facto when she returns in some other ghoulish form to haunt us.

As a woman, I read Jacinda Ardern as someone who is being forced to quit for some reason, she doesn’t like that she’s being forced, and what she really wants to do is rat 🐀 out whoever is forcing her to quit.

I’m not jumping on the DeSantis bandwagon. He was a lackluster candidate before President Trump pushed him across the finish line. He has not an ounce of gratitude or loyalty.

In their vision, he will bring down Trump, who they hate far more than Joe Schmo Biden, or anyone else on the face of the earth.

DeSantis looks, feels, smells like another George W. Bush. Ultra conservative outside, completely aligned with the Globalists inside. Of course he’s saying what we want to hear. The Globalists aren’t stupid, just evil.

I’m so tired of trying to read in between what Trump actually says and what he has done. It’s exhausting to be honest. All the speculation about why he did or is doing this or that and why he said this or that just wears on a person. All I can judge is what is actually happening.

Living through this Covid debacle as one who believes in the wisdom of waiting to see if an experimental drug is as good as it's all cracked (kracked?) up to be has been a tremendous strain. Family, friends, even fellow churchers have such strong and opposing positions it has been difficult to maintain whether or not it was actually wisdom to hold such a position.

Your comment resonates with me and my experience through this crazy experience. Thankfully I had family & friends who supported my stance -- a church that remained open as best they could & supported us with whatever our decision was about taking the operation “warp speed” vaccine. I had some hard conversations with family members who thought I was in the wrong and treated poorly by a doctor who scoffed at my decision to not take the Covid vaccine. When I asked her for the Covid antibody test instead you could see the anger wellling up inside her. “Why would you want that?”

I watched many friends with my same concerns one by one eventually get the shot / s because of (pressure) from work, family, friends, military .. so they could travel again. Etc

Although no one in my family agreed with my stance, only a few vociferously opposed me. As for work, most didn't support a no-vaxx stance, but it was far from abrasive. I think the most difficult part was not that others disagreed, but that they either refused to see the other side of this story or were absolutely blind to it. I know others have had a much worse go of the past few years than I have, especially those who have lost loved ones. It has been hard at times, but prayer seems to be the only thing that consistently provided any kind of solace.

God bless.

Such an interesting read ….also makes sense why the White House will push long Covid as the cause of deaths . Always add a bit of truth to the LIE (enemy tactics 101).

“I believe the spike protein (be it from COVID-19 or the vaccines) will also increase the number of more traditional blood clots that form in the body, and the survey data is reflective of this.”

I did a quick peek on PubMed. There are plenty of papers with "amyloid" and clot or ...

Looks like amyloid microclots were a known problem with Covid-19 disease; so larger clots are possible, I guess.

For those curious, the human body has lipoprotein(a), also called Lp(a), that has a curious function. Humans lacking Vitamin C run the risk of bleeding to death. Lp(a) it is conjectured, was "invented" by Evolution as a backstop. It is found in arterial plaques and other sites of damage, where it effectively "plugs" leaks. What makes it unusual is that, unlike a normal blood clot, it is highly resistant to the body's normal repair mechanisms. As such, it is thought a factor in heart disease.

Just throwing that out: even in relatively normal times, sometimes our bodies make a substance that is highly resistant to being broken down.

I still think that this sudden discovery of classified documents is being planted to make Biden a no-show to run again in 24 (no way poor gramps could run again anyway in my humble opinion). I don't necessarily think it's to push Kamala as the president, she's also not polling well anyway and her trying to run on 24 would probably be a disaster for the DNC.

And how were these docs suddenly discovered? The cleaning lady was dusting the Biden library bookshelf when her duster suddenly made a folder that said "classified top secret" fall out of a shelf?

Mrna vaccines were being worked on years before covid hit but they didn't pass muster in trials. In fact, the results were pretty bad. To me, when Trump brags about operation warp speed and crediting himself for lifting a bunch of "regulations" to allow quick production of a vaccine, what I really hear him say is that all the traditional testing, all of which are necessary steps to ensure effectiveness & safety BEFORE rolling out to the masses, were mostly thrown out the window.

An adult shingles AND a super-duper covid shot. A student chimed in and said his mother has a terrible reaction and was out of work for 2 weeks....

I didn't research the shots in the beginning (I eventually did). I didn't get the shots because I could hear my mother (she died in 2011) ask, "if everyone jumped off a cliff, would you?". Haha! She used to say this to me frequently when I would try to convince her to let me do something or think something that everyone else was doing or thinking. When I saw people in droves run to get experimental shots, I decided to step back for awhile. Stepping back turned into never. The more research I did, the more I realized I dodged a bullet.

Did any of the people you sent your paper to end up declining the shots that you know of?

For a little while before the shots rolled out and before the election it was cool on the Left to question whether the vaccines would be safe. The safe and effective narrative started when the fake studies were announced days after the election but probably took a couple months to really take root in the soft heads of the Left, which by the time most people were able to get the shots it was in full effect and questioning the vaccines was verboten.

I remember him say that it was up to the states and the governors to decide. What I give him credit for is that he tried to bring awareness of a possibility of an early treatment because he had his own advisers. But Fauci and the pharmaceutical-industrial complex set the wheels into motion a while ago and they would have ground Trump into a hamburger if he “didn’t follow the science”, they were already claiming that he was killing people because he wanted to reopen. I agree that they set him up. Look how difficult it is for someone with medical education and years of experience to go against the narrative so I can’t even imagine being in his shoes and to try to go against the agenda. What I find odd is his pride regarding OWS shots. Remembering Jeff’s earlier article ( some documents resurfaced), the point of the operation was to demonstrate readiness to produce the prototype at scale. Mission accomplished. I wonder what he knew. There is some evidence of the military involvement and pharma just being a military contractor. The word itself “ operation” is militarily sounding, reminds me Putin’s “ special military operation”. Really bizarre and so many unanswered questions.

It's a political problem. At the time, the Dems would not allow the country to open so he yielded to allow a "vaccine" be introduced.

🔥 Public Announcement: an eye-opener meta-view!

We need to zoom out a whole byte to clearly see what *really* happened with covid response. We’ve been using (and continue to use) all wrong methodological tools that are not applicable for the domain in point 🤷 In six succinct words,

🗨 counterterrorism measures replaced public health policy

In this bright light, everything starts making much more sense. The disparate puzzle pieces fall into their right places. Miraculously almost 😊

https://brownstone.org/articles/lockdowns-counterterrorism-not-public-health/

↓↓ Some ancillary teasing might be needed 🤸

🗨 Bioterrorism response plans [...] are *not designed to incorporate the complicated nuances of public health principles*, which balance the need to protect individuals from a pathogen with the need to keep society as functional as possible to maintain overall well-being.

🗨 All of these measures [masking, testing, lockdowns] were devised *solely in the service of gaining compliance* with the biodefense/counterterrorism plan of quarantine-until-vaccine.

🗨 Government messaging preserved a public health veneer, while camouflaging the counterterrorism agenda.[...] The massive effort to cloak counterterrorism measures in public health legitimacy was the root of pandemic propaganda.

An arguably key takeaway:

🗨 The result is that anyone who knows what our Covid response policy truly was is theoretically barred from revealing it.[...] We probably need a whistleblower with top security clearance to get around this giant hurdle.

Let’s pray s/he emerges sooner rather than later 🙏

🗨 Can we stop them? [...I]t’s going to be an uphill battle.

Everyone's so big on DeSantis for everything, and I agree he's been the best governor in the country for anti-COVID junk science exposure/removal. But I have to ask, if he's letting this dreadful hospital liability law expire, and he's been governor of FL since the beginning of the genocide bioweapons operation, DOESN'T THAT MEN HE SIGNED THE BILL IN THE FIRST PLACE?

And if so, why is that fact not mentioned here? Yes, yes, "progress." But let's show all the facts, not just the ones we like. I imagine this could be an oversight or editorial decision. All facts are included here when known 99.9% of the time.

I don't know that I care that he signed the bill (if he did). But if he suddenly became anti-narrative secretly because of the political boost it would give his career, I'd be pretty leery of what directions he'll take from the huge anti-Trump donors that gave him millions to run for POTUS.

So, did he sign it or not? And if so, why's that not mentioned in context? Thanks.

He would dent The Swamp, as did the others who have tried over the centuries (read historian Larry Schweikart's Dragonslayers: Six Presidents and Their War With The Swamp), but none of them affected enough positive change. In fact, he makes the case that for several the changes they made to solve one problem simply created other, worse, problems. And that's the story of government, I'm afraid.

I think it was last year, when he was urged by our side to let it lapse back then, to keep patients from being killed by the protocols, that he instead kept them in place, perhaps because the hospital lobbyists put their money where their mouths were, and we only had truth and justice, as well as real science, on ours. Now, he's been claiming he'd sign Constitutional Carry if it's put on his desk, not leading like even Gov. Kemp did in Georgia, and the Florida Legislature looks like it's going to do nothing more than stop charging fees for concealed carry permits, while maintaining the requirement for permits, and not even addressing open carry, when Florida's only company in substantially prohibiting open carry are California, Illinois, New York State, and Washington, DC.
