It's weird that we are still having so many people die from the weakest variant yet, I had it and felt bad for about an hour and that was it and I've felt fine ever since. Virtually everyone I know had it and it wasn't as bad as the flu usually is for most.

So why are we still having so many people die from this weak sauce variant? My theory is it's because we have so many obese unhealthy people with multiple comorbidities.

I've been saying since the beginning is get your body and immune system as healthy as you can for your best defense. Who knows if the so-called vaccines will protect against the next deadly variant? Didn't work worth a damn against Omicron.

Getting back to Trudeau, I now put him in the same category with Hitler and Stalin.

Basically Trudeau is invoking Martial Law 2.0 because (1) he's butthurt that the money has kept flowing even after they shut down gofundme and hacked givesendgo, and (2) the tow truck operators are refusing to do his bidding

So he's going to arbitrarily take away people's bank accounts and order tow truck drivers to tow the big rigs

The showdown is ALL about if the tow truck operators refuse and go to jail to make a stand, or if they bend both knees in front of Trudeau

Some believe Trudeau was “sent for” when he faked covid and told in no uncertain terms to end the freedom protest by people higher up the food chain than himself.
Looking more plausible all the time.

Everyones experiences on this vary. While I have had 2 people I know die, I know FAR more who caught it and it was sniffles. or a bad flu.

People like me who is still recovering from his chemotherapy for example? I mean its nice blaming comorbidities, but these are still human beings.

Except it makes a HUGE difference in how sever Omicron is, and a significant difference in your chances of catching it. So yeah......didnt work worth a damn. LOL.

Okay. Life is risky. How many died of the flu, or cancer? The fact is that nearly all the COVID deaths have been people who had the Delta variant, along with four to six comorbidities. That means many died with COVID, not because of it.

This is about mandating people to take a vaccine that doesn’t confer lasting immunity, nor does it prevent people from catching or spreading COVID. So the mandates are useless.

FYI, some posters are misspelling MARTIAL law. Here is the definition followed by more info about "martial" vs. "marshal" (or Marshall):

martial law


/ˈˌmärSHəl ˈlô/
noun
military government, involving the suspension of ordinary law.
"unlike the previous military interventions, the general did not declare martial law"

https://grammarist.com/spelling/marshal-martial/

Again, just FYI.

So it is.
They'll bring up travel passports, seat belts and motorcycle helmets, but we aren't allowed to mention people dying from a myriad of reasons other than covid ( many of them preventable)

Remarks by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance regarding the Emergencies Act

Second: the government is issuing an order with immediate effect, under the Emergencies Act, authorizing Canadian financial institutions to temporarily cease providing financial services where the institution suspects that an account is being used to further the illegal blockades and occupations. This order covers both personal and corporate accounts.

Third: we are directing Canadian financial institutions to review their relationships with anyone involved in the illegal blockades and report to the RCMP or CSIS.

As of today, a bank or other financial service provider will be able to immediately freeze or suspend an account of an individual or business affiliated with these illegal blockades without a court order. In doing so, they will be protected against civil liability.

Federal government institutions will have a new broad authority to share relevant information with banks and other financial service providers to ensure that we can all work together to put a stop to the funding of these illegal blockades.

This is about following the money. This is about stopping the financing of these illegal blockades. We are today serving notice: if your truck is being used in these protests, your corporate accounts will be frozen. The insurance on your vehicle will be suspended. Send your semi-trailers home. The Canadian economy needs them to be doing legitimate work, not to be illegally making us all poorer.


I do believe that Trudeau and Freeland will be facing a Run on Banks. The early bird gets their money.

The premiers of Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have come out in opposition.
They are joined by the New York Times in a surprising editotisl. This Trudeau Order is dangerous.
Now NYT backs the truckers: Editorial Board says 'allowing nonviolent protest is important in a polarized society' and reminds Trudeau that he supported farmers blocking highways in India for a full year - Daily Mail UK

I am reposting your entire post but I am responding toI your comment, "I do believe that Trudeau and Freeland will be facing a Run on Banks. The early bird gets their money." That occurred to me before I fell asleep last night, so I was a little surprised to see that occurred to some else, also.

I am fearful that this could have severe repercussions/ramifications not just in Canada but even possibly the U.S., as it seems to me that the Biden administration and the Trudeau administrations think alike.

Once again, I hope that I am being unnecessarily paranoid and therefore ridiculous!

P.S. This post is a duplicate of one on the main "Truckers protest in U.S. and Canada" thread. I actually think this is appropriate for THIS thread, although it certainly is relevant to both threads. I am wondering if the two threads should now be merged???
