    1. The “journalists” … will be shot FIRST in the inevitable coming Civil War. Easy pickens. It would be nice to avoid violence and bloodshed … but… you can only push a naturally FREE people just so far.

      1. With the unending supply of holier-than-thou citizen journalists you may have to ask them to line up single file to conserve ammo.

      2. I believe you’re right… the Media mouthpieces for Globalist authoritarianism will pay a price for their voracious mendacity.
        Media douchebags of Globalism are in for a rude awakening. They underestimate the hatred and anger citizens feel toward these globalist propagandists and professional liars.

  1. Once a law is created, it is forever enforced.
    Don’t expect back to normal ever again.
    Trudeau has just stated that we are now being prepared for the next Pandemic.

      1. CAGW is an Imminent Threat to every humans health. Esp. the underserved poor communities of cullller. We NEED eco-justice, Warming-justice NOW! for alllllll the third world POC … it’s a CRISIS!! We’ve already gone past several tipping points!! There’s no time to waste … to vaccinate the world against the scourge of fossil fuels!! We must impose the DEATH penalty for anyone who uses ANY fossil fuels whatsoever.

        /sarc. … that is sadly going to reverberate from the entire Biden cabinet

      2. The Next Pandemic is the sequal: COVID-21, more deadly and more entertaining, coming to a country near you. If you don’t have your COVID-19 vaccine by XX date, you need to get it while it’s hot because if you don’t have COVID-19, COVID-21 will kill you.

        Just wait till COVID-30!! All that space with no people!!
        Just compliant drones alive to keep the DNA pool deep so the elites can romp and play with the kids.

    1. jojodogfacedboy, too true.
      We are mask-mandated here in BC. Even in the common area of my condo, including halls and lobby where I meet a vanishingly small number of fellow residents.

      My thought experiment: can you imagine a power-stoned public health fascist making a statement like: OK, foks thank you for you compliance but masks need not be worn anymore?

      Tony (made man) Fauci has even said that even after the vaccine masks may still be required.

      1. Commie Henry put in a mask mandate for all work areas.
        Funny though. None of the news anchors on CTV, Global, CBC etc on our local Vancouver and Victoria stations are wearing masks.
        Why do they not have to follow the rules but I do?

  2. New? What’s new about it, Kate?

    That’s what they’re paid to do—sell the crap our masters are selling, deny the undeniable and excuse the inexcusable. It’s always been that way.

      1. Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under Robber Barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The Robber Barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. C.S Lewis

        1. Okay, I’ll see your C.S. Lewis and raise you a Solzhenitsyn: “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.”

      2. Conservatives are Progressives driving the speed limit. As I have been saying for years. All we have is COMMUNISTS in Canada. The Uniparty. They are all the same. Same Policies.

    1. “New” is in the eye of the beholder.

      We may have seen the growing threats for years but many thousands of people are only now opening their eyes.

      For those, Kate’s tweets may just be the vitamin red pill they need.

  3. “Anyone in a position of authority telling you something unpalatable is ‘temporary’ – that is a red flag!” Lionel Shriver

  4. We aren’t being governed, we’re being ruled by the elites without our consent. The wealthy big box stores keep their doors open but small businesses are forced to close. Once again we witness the elites destroying the middle class using the media and police as their army of despots.

    1. Rose, You notice that too! What we little people need to realize is that all the small Mom n’ Pop stores and businesses are an annoyance like fleas and mosquitoes to the big guys who need complete obedience from purchasers to only purchase from them. the Covid is being used to destroy the mosquitoes as well as a myriad of other uses they are discovering.

      Ruled is correct, and we are all screwed.

    2. We elect politicians to form a government to serve us. Unfortunately for us, they run for office so they can form a government to rule, not serve. Not going to change anytime soon, probably never.

  5. To be fair, you are still allowed to pack the streets for Black Lives Matter and Whiny Indian demonstrations. And of course the ever popular socialist marches.

  6. Ever notice how there’s never a shortage of snitches and “dudley do rights”?
    My dad told me of a remedy they had for this kind of thing back in the day when it really mattered.
    It escapes me now.

    1. On Sunday Antenor aptly quoted Thomas Jefferson who once wrote that “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

      He also wrote “Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying. The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, and what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it’s motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion.”

      Here is the full letter.

    2. “never a shortage of snitches and “dudley do rights”?

      translation… liberals & dippers & greenies.

      neophyte introduced us to adamsons a little while
      back… best brisket in toronto. just a shame he
      set up in neo-marxist central.

  7. Maybe it’s time we took a cue from BLM and punched it up a few notches.
    Sometimes plain old brute force is the best answer.
    You can’t be reasonable to a ruling class who have no wish to be reasonable.
    Only to rule you with an iron thumb.

    1. And then video everything so that the hypocrisy, when they arrest others and not BLM / Antifa / Native Protestors, can be played over and over until the arresting parties look as stupid as they are.

      1. The problem is, they just don’t care. They have ample sheeple that will still back them despite the evidence.

  8. Right on the money Kate – love the rage against the machine playing in the background, it is going to get ugly..

  9. The propaganda department dutifully followed the jackbooted gestapo members into the evil restaurant.
    There is something wrong with a “journalist” so willing to to go down on a dictator.

  10. When did the police start travelling with full news crews? There was even an unmasked “light” guy marching in there with the cops and the by-law officer who was obviously having her best-day-ever!!

  11. Owner of the restaurant is Adam Scully.
    Remember the names of the heroes.
    Hopefully we see more pushback.

    1. Correction: Skelly

      In one of the tweets he thanks independent unbiased media…Rebel, Joe W and a few others for telling the whole story. The MSM crews actually blocked his entrance.

  12. I hear they are “hospitalizing” those who refuse to stay in self isolation. Looks like they are going to be introducing the internment camps soon.

    1. So, how about we kill those who want to kill us? Show me the sick people and not just the politicians and bureaucrats.

  13. The number of people who default to the ends justifying the means and who are not only willing to comply with arbitrary and capricious orders that hurt their fellow citizens but eager to see their fellow citizens punished has been a real eye-opener for me.

  14. Looks like I am still the only intelligent conservative alive in Canada, or the U S .

    1. “Looks like I am still the only intelligent conservative alive in Canada, or the U S .”

      Wrong! You are a fool AND an old WHITE GUY. You suck and soon we will be rid of you all!

        1. Ever notice how Pat’s appearance here coincides with the length of time between involuntary detention on a mental health warrant and mandatory release? Just sayin’.

  15. Another pertinent piece of information…

    **We’ve been asked to stay off the property so I can’t see what enforcement is up to but
    @rlautens tells me one possible patron has a Trump hat on**

  16. Do you know what is really sick about this shit, is that my age is on record everywhere. Come to my house and tell me I am going to be protected, I just might try and kill you.

  17. butt our CUCKservatives shun real journolists, like Ezra, and true north, and you westerners, were is your F-ing conservative politicos?????????

  18. I do find it slightly amusing that the journalists seem to be the focus of conservative ire here and not the police.

    Back the blue (as they take you away in cuffs for opening your business)!!! Conservatives never learn. The police are not your friends. They are on the other side.

    1. “The police are … on the other side.”

      They should be on the government’s side, they have always been an arm of government, recruited for that and paid by the government.

      Kate’s remarks recognize a development that started even before the Canadian government decided to buy the media with our money. The media had decided that their most important audience is the professional politicians and the bureaucracy, and they will now cater to them and bring us the government’s propaganda. No need to start up a Pravda or a TASS.

  19. Someone put up a sign close to a shopping mall where we live. It reads: No Masters. No Slaves.
    Doesn’t seem to apply to Canada, though.

    1. An old girlfriend of mine in England was a journalist who had turned to corporate PR. I learned a lot about them from her and immediately recognized the description of the role in a book she had. If I recall correctly the title was Power Without Responsibility. And likewise the results of a survey of journalists that analyzed their answers to the conclusion that most could be described as “narcissistic and fascinated by power.” Since most of them these days work in video, not print , the narcissism is an even bigger part.

  20. Still think we should be pushing for people to wear goggles, ear plugs and a nose clip too. Things aren’t quite ridiculous enough for my liking.

  21. Good on the people of Canada to standing up to this nanny state horse sh*t. More please.

  22. I wonder, I wonder – what is going on. Can we compare the government and public reaction to the pandemic to other times? What are we doing? Let’s look at some of the steps we have taken:

    1] Classification of people into ..good vs bad. Those who ‘have’ this attribute [______] and those who don’t. Those who might become a member of the group with this attribute [____] and those who have taken steps to ensure that they do not [eg, isolation, distance, masks]

    2] Symbolization of those who do NOT have this attribute [wearing a mask?]; Keeping distant? These are public symbols of ‘being good and not having this attribute’.

    3] Discrimination and Isolation of those who might have this attribute :closing down the businesses of those who might have this attribute; forbidding gatherings; forbidding weddings, funerals.. Forbidding anyone who ‘might have’ this attribute from interacting with others; their licenses to function withdrawn; required to keep away from others.

    4] Dehumanization and vilification of those who might have this attribute – with removal of their rights to work, to assemble, to be with family or others.by defining them as basically inherently ‘harmful-to-humanity’.

    5] Persecution by law: Fines, jail….

    Hmm. Now, if you substitute the ‘attribute’ of ____ ‘having the Covid Virus’…with the attribute of JEW – then, you get a repeat of the mindset of both government and ‘the people’ on the Third Reich, which led to: The Holocaust.
    Seems to me – to be exactly the same mindset.; i.e., the emergence and development by the government and media of a ‘public enemy’ which will harm the health and well-being of ‘the people’ – and steps taken by the government to remove those people who carry/believe in/are affected by: this public enemy.
    What’s the difference in our reactions between the Virus and the Jew?

    1. Right you are. The Gestapo did not come ready made in a box. They were ordinary folks and cops who got ordered to do bad things, a little at a time. Some of them found they liked it.

    2. ET: So far “they” don’t have to wear name tags or stars of David, but the pandemic is new, just entering its fourth quarter.

      If you can cow you into wearing a mask against a disease with virtually zero chance of killing 99.999% of the population, making that look like a prudent small step, how long before the Great Reset reimagines you can go hours without electricity?

      The totalitarians rarely impose their will in one fell swoop, they do it in increments; and they just took a big bite out of liberty.

      Need more lockdowns? Need more control? Need more favours payback from leftist oligarchs?

      No problem, just order more covid tests, double down on ineffective “solutions,” and fire up the water cannons against those without the right “attributes,” iow ignorant sheeple.

      This is a rehearsal for climate change lockdowns, like covid, were apparatchiks and politicians stay on full pay, while oligarchs in big business, tech and social media see their fortunes soar, where Walmart thrives as local businesses get crushed.

      Where is the incentive for these elites? Isn’t this just another example of them profiting from misery, unaffected by the horrendous implications and consequences of their top down, one size fits all parasitic despotism.

      After all if we’re all in the same “class,” notwithstanding it’s a completely artificial construct, can’t our preferences be “determined” for us, as Marx argued. How long before we’re all driving the same kind of car, living in the same kind of home, reading the same media and of course, voting for the same corrupt administrative and ruling class?

      Not far away at all, imho. Yet we give license to these statists parasites to rule us to avoid their temper tantrums.

      Sad statism of affairs.

  23. Stop testing people who are not sick and shut down the corrupt media and this will all go away tomorrow.

    1. Everyone who complains that the government should do more to control everyone should have a small stick shoved up their nose at frequent intervals. If they want more protection, they can stay home and the police can visit them there with the small sticks.

  24. Frankly , this is just a continuum of what has been taking place for the last 50 years. And for the last 50 years you have been a wing nut if you pointed it out. We are quickly approaching the end game. Fight or submit. Remember Trudeau’s surprising defeat of Harper? Any illusion that the voters votes are being properly tabulated after the recent fiasco in the U.S. For f sakes Biden says he has the best fraud organization and the media and “fact” checkers create a narrative wherein he really didn’t say it. Same with Burrisma. The constant hit jobs and vote tabulation worked so well in Canada they exported it to the U.S. Of course there is no evidence, none,zip zero – nothing to see. The take over of numerous critical news sources is a figment of your imagination. The payoff of the others is a figment of your imagination. The real figments of your imagination is that we were evermore than rats on a treadmill producing for the entitled. This will be abundantly clear when they come to chip you.

  25. The video is a compelling argument to defund the police and bylaw.

    If they were constrained in budgets they would be working on other issues rather than marching in Ann inflammatory show of force, to serve a health order.

    If it were unsafe, serve him a different time.

  26. At some point in time pushback becomes inevitable.
    And then the State ups their force level.
    And so on.
    And then the reporters get an even bigger story.
    Its win-win for them.

  27. This is an absolute farce. I was actually arrested last week for the “crime” of not wearing a mask. (I do wear one in public normally just to avoid getting a faceful of Karen. I just forgot.)

    I was in a large condominium lobby, parked myself in the corner away from everyone until my photographer got there. (would have been less than 5 minutes, and less than 15 total to get the photos we needed to sell the condo. They said no, I have to wear a mask. I started getting a bit upset at that point, Okay you want me to wear a mask, can you provide one for me? No – we don’t do that. But guys, you came up and got in MY face. I am 20′ away from anyone.

    Then they said that “this can be done the easy way or the hard way.”

    What the actual F**K are you talking about???? These two large men (I’m 53, about 125 lbs….) each grab one of my arms, handcuffed me with hands behind my back and perp walk me out of the lobby, They then threw me on the snow-covered walkway and made me sit in the snow until the OPP came. They didn’t even ask me what’s going on, just threw me in the cruiser. I was in jail for about 10 hours. My wrists were cut and bleeding. (They actually caused nerve damage in my wrist. My doctor says I might get feeling back in that hand eventually, or maybe never.

    Now, and I am ashamed of this, once they handcuffed me I was not a very nice person. I didn’t hit, I didn’t flail or struggle. I called them some rather colourful names, but I didn’t threaten. And don’t kid yourself, this isn’t the USA. You don’t get a phone call, brutes can just pick you up and throw you in a cell without any cause. They ended up ticketing me not for the mask, but for “assaulting a police officer.”

    Luckily my photographer was there and she filmed everything. They also tried to bully her and take away her professional camera equipment. The cabdriver hadn’t even left the parking lot, he came running back in but now there’s like two OPP and four mall cops and they held him back. I don’t even know this cabbie, but he called me after saying he was horrified and would be happy to swear an affidavit for me. So yep. 53 years of paying taxes, 53 years of being a good citizen, 53 years where the only experience I ever had with the police is when I was younger and had a bit of a lead foot on the gas pedal. Now, I am facing criminal charges. My lawyer said there could be jail time, but not likely as I’m a first offender.

    So it is real. I still can’t type properly with my right hand. And as a real estate agent, having a criminal conviction is kind of a big deal.

    I have never ever been scared in this country. I am now.

    1. My wife is an American citizen. As soon as we know Trump is back in power she’s applying for a green card and we’re out of here. Canadastan is now a banana republic police state. I’m so sorry that happened to you. If Biden gets in we’ll likely stay here or maybe (my wife is Jewish) flee to Israel. Israel is safer than either place under these small minded dictators.

    2. They’re always tough in a group. Get your own group and go after them individually. Rules are for those who make them so start making the rules.

    3. As I found out yesterday while standing in line at the AMA here in Edmonton, one can be harassed and harangued by a karen or kevin and nothing will be done by either the staff or one’s fellow clients. Push back, and guess who gets reprimanded?

    4. L-You should contact Randy Hillier MPP, he has strong opinions on the panic-demic based on what he’s read and researched. He’s not intimidated by govt’. over reach. He has faced it down before(an understatement).

      The Corvid-19 measures pushed by the bureaucracy appear to be questionable, perhaps even more political in nature. No government has released the research/studies they’re basing these measures on. Science, including medical science is based on hard evidence. For medical measures, the Duty of Care, Standard of Card is high. “The cure must not be worse than the disease !” is applicable. International research is admissible evidence.

      Citizens deserve to see tested, the (inconclusive/contradictory) medical evidence being used to justify this 2nd lockdown, mandatory masking et al. To see what justification exists for citizens being treated as a “public menace”. It’s an interesting question.

      Ontario Constitutional lawyer Roco Galati is proceeding with a Charter challenge against both the federal and the Ontario government. There is certainly enough evidence to justify that. To protect yourself and others from similar or worse treatment. You and your lawyer should contact him, as well as Randy Hillier.

      As your livelihood and professional standing is at risk, take this seriously.

      Also, as the PCR testing, which much of this 2nd wave of restrictions/shut down is based on, produces a high rate of false positives. This according to some highly qualified virologists and pathologists. Scientists, worthy of the name, love to display their data and reasoning, proudly so. Others(e.i. Warlocks), not so much. The prov. gov’t. bureaucrats may well view your case as a threat. Especially so, if they plan a longer, even more repressive 2nd lock down.

      The physical nature of your detention and arrest attest to how quickly a citizen’s status can be degraded. How fragile our Common-Law tradition is; something that Hong Kong has recently discovered, now being under the claws of the dragon. A dragon which, ironically, released this biological warfare of chaos, globally.

      Communist China is P.M. Justin Trudeau’s most admired country, still. So don’t count on any sympathy from the little emperor on the Rideau. Additionally, the Ford in Queen’s Park seems to have rusted out early.

      You need moral courage, above and beyond, your physical stature.

  28. Now Kenney announces a partial lockdown with new Covid restrictions.
    Why? Because there are 1115 new Covid 19 cases with 16 new deaths.
    Bring the total of Covid 19 deaths in Alberta to 492.
    That’s a 1.4349775% death rate of new cases in relation to new deaths.
    The overall death rate in Alberta in relation to population to total Alberta Covid 19 deaths is 0.0112560%.
    You’re locking down for that?
    Are they out of their bloody minds!?

  29. I once asked a friend , whose father-in-law was Austrian and was in the WW2 Wehrmacht and spent time in a Russian prisoner of war camp , how did Hitler come to power ?

    His father-in-law’s reply was , “One day we woke up in the morning and Hitler was in power”
