About a month ago I gave vent to a howl of rage at the degeneration of my homeland into a communist lemming dictatorship. As a freeblood Canadian expat, I haven't seen my family in person for two and a half years now, first due to border closures, then due to quarantine requirements, and most recently due to an mRNA transfection mandate that demands everyone boarding an airplane, train, or cruise ship, even for domestic travel, to have taken their Safe! And Effective! clotshots.
Today I woke to the announcement that the travel mandate has been lifted. So, wonderful news, right? From June 20th, freebloods will no longer be prisoners in "their" own country1. Hooray!
Sadly, albeit unsurprisingly: no. Satan's stinky ass squats in the details.
First, the travel mandate isn't lifted. It's “suspended”. They - meaning Prime Minister Rainbow Socks McBlackface and his merry Pride parade of fellow Young Global Leader WEFites - retain the option to bring it back at a moment's notice, at their sole discretion. So, if you're a freeblood, enter Canada at your own risk: you might only think you'll be able to leave. Things could change by the time you're supposed to fly home.
Second, the mask mandate remains. Because those work.
Third, the 14-day quarantine remains for anyone with a healthy immune system that hasn't been destroyed by experimental gene therapy. So, forget about a quick trip to see the fam: if you want to visit for a week, plan on three, because you'll spend the first two locked in a hotel room to the tune of hundreds of dollars a day. Ditto if you live in Canada and want to fly abroad: upon your return, into quarantine you go. Since most people probably can't book a solid month off from work, nor can they likely afford thousands of dollars for a hotel, retaining the quarantine (which has been eliminated essentially everywhere else) amounts to more or less the same thing as a travel ban.
Fourth, and potentially most concerning, is that some of the speech-like noises coming out of Prime Minister's Office, for instance remarks by unhealthy-looking health minister2 Theresa Tam, can easily be interpreted as indicating that they want to bring the mandates back, but with a three-dose booster regime. While most of Canada's livestock dutifully lined up for the vaxx-and-tag operation, only slightly over half of the populace have elected to receive the dubious blessings of a third jab, a fact which is no doubt concerning to Big Pharma's bottom line. It could well be they've calculated that easing off just a tiny bit, giving just the vaguest impression of reasonableness, will play to their advantage with the tax cattle when it comes time to demand they submit to further injections with cutting-edge poison.
This is a teeny, tiny, half-step back, after they've galloped forward several miles. It isn't nearly enough for Canada to go back to calling itself a free country. Judging by the sentiments I'm seeing expressed on social media and in the comments sections of the major papers, I'm far from the only one having this, shall we say, underwhelmed reaction. The announcement hasn't been greeted with cries of joy and relief. What I'm seeing is outrage. It's like when you've been badgering your teenager to clean his damn room for months on end, and then he clears a small area off his desk and says, see, I cleaned! That's when all the frustrations of the last several months erupt at once and you deck him.
Of course, the Canadian government continues to insist that they're just Following The Science. It's right there in the press release:
"Science-based decision making" my impolite body part3. In any case, this decision is purely motivated by the desire to mollify the increasingly energetic crowd of pissed off Canadians, including, the rumours say, back-bench Liberal MPs who are having their email accounts bombarded with scathing demands that the government stop treating Canada like an open-air internment camp, and who are starting to worry that Trudeau is going to drag them down into the tarpit of ignominy when the next election rolls around.
Meanwhile, the substitute drama teacher and part-time snowboarding instructor who's somehow running the country has just tested positive for COVID-19. Again. Despite having been boosted. But you know. The vaccine works to stop the spread, you see. That's why still freebloods have to quarantine. They might spread the rona, unlike the Prime Minister, who's fully v'd and ... spreading the rona. Again.
It's beyond obvious that Doctor4 Gates' Patented Miracle Oil doesn't work. Everyone knows that now. Continuing the charade is just a pathetic effort to save face by one of the planet's most egregious incompetocracies. They need to pretend that they've been 'following the science' when everyone can see that isn't true, and that 'the science' they've been following is nonsense in any case. The best thing they could do at this point is to just drop all of it, and pray to whatever dark gods they sacrifice abortions to that everyone just forgets. Dragging it out by keeping so many restrictions in place is just wiggling the bandage off, extending the pain, and making everyone hate them that much more.
Of course it isn't "their" country. Canada's a post-national state with no core identity, and anyhow racist settler-colonialists living on stolen native land have no claim to the territory, which is why the WEFite quislings in Parliament can expropriate that territory for their globalist cult leaders.
Do health ministers ever look healthy? Is a strong resemblance to a high priest of Nurgle one of the job requirements?
I feel the pedantic urge to point out that the interns who proofread this let a grammatical error slip through, leaving out the 'The' in 'The Science'.
Doctor Gates is a registered brand name, which should not be taken to imply that he is a medical doctor or, indeed, any sort of doctor.
"Prime Minister Rainbow Socks McBlackface..." You're a true artist with your wordplay!
It’s gone from a suspension of the right to travel for the unvaccinated to a suspension on the ban on the unvaccinated traveling. The direction of progression is pretty clear, best to stay away if you have a life elsewhere. I never fail to be disgusted at how people in Canada, Australia and New Zealand especially have lapped up being treated like cattle. Maybe it’s different in some rural areas? People would have a reason and the means to dig in and resist for years (can’t really see the ban on trading handguns and mag limits being followed in isolated areas, plus there is access to a food supply). I think the next winter will be crucial; do or die for both sides globally by the looks of it.
