    1. It is most unfortunate that masks of any sort cannot stop a virus. That we are stupid enough to think they do says a lot about our ability to think.

  1. Why doesn’t the headline include “and bend over, lubrication is the responsibility of the miscreant.”?

  2. When people started dying and their loved ones were left to bawl their eyes out at their deaths.

    If you recklessly drive down a road smashing into other cars you will be arrested by the police.

    If you recklessly spread a deadly virus that kills indiscriminately without a whit of concern for your fellow man, you’re an asshole and you should be charged.

    1. So every flu season till the end of time I can assume you’ll screech the same thing now as well? This is setting a very dangerous precedent that can and will be implemented anytime the govt demands compliance. Where and when does this end? I don’t care about your statistics on covid death rate vs the flu, if the one death is too many belief continues to take hold, kiss all freedoms goodbye.
      In Manitoba tornadoes have killed more teens than Covid….

      1. Yes. Comparative risk. If the suicide rate is twice the Covid19 rate on an annual basis, then are more live saved or cost by supporting the lockdowns?

    2. Really?

      Then any Chinaman trying to enter Canada before Wuhan flu was contained within the “People’s Republic of China” ought to have been denied entry, held without bail, and had a blowtorch applied to his poor excuse for a male organ until he agreed to tell authorities what he was playing at.

    3. Dante, at the start of this shit show I stated, the commies have their model, and it’s stupid asses like you who enable the commies.. I happen to be in 2 at risk categories, and flaunt rules all the time, and shit on those who try to brow beet me into compliance, just ask the fat assed bitch who tried that in a walmart.

    4. You know Dante, it would be easier to agree with you had the airlines not kept delivering fresh infected cases from Wuhan to Toronto this entire time. Not one flight from China got turned back over Corona.

      So I hope you’ll forgive my suspicion that the “deadliness” of this virus doesn’t match its billing, and the effectiveness of the mandatory mask law isn’t all its cracked up to be.

      Frankly, the best way to make sure that the largest possible number of people resist wearing a mask is to make it mandatory. Just remember, they don’t care if you die. they only care if you do what you’re told.

      If they cared about you dying they’d have stopped the direct flights from China in December.

    5. People still dont seem to understand what a travel ban is, and what it isnt.

      Surely if you wanted flight bans from China in March, you want flight bans from the USA since then?

    6. Dante,
      The risk of a healthy individual of any age dying of the China Flu is equivalent to a daily drive to work.
      Stick your mask.

  3. Ezra Levant nicely sums up the rationale behind much of this flummery:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYux_zRt82M

    The real disease is the politicians and their camp followers who want to eradicate free will and personal responsibility. The phony-baloney plague came nowhere close to being the country-killer that was predicted.

    It’s simply another way the government tells us: “BOHICA!”

  4. I hope I don’t get the Chicom virus and conduct myself accordingly. My socialist neighbours mocked my caution and have suffered varying levels of symptoms (the few that went for testing were positive). How we live (and risk death) is their choice and my choice. The curve has been flattened and people know what to do. If it were about stopping the virus, the government would have restricted air travel and set up appropriate screening in February. My experience at the time was that passengers from international flights were backed up and comingled even more than usual by CBSA on arrival in Canada.
    This is not about health, it’s about power.

  5. Sweden’s curve seems pretty flat.

    Plus their treasury was not plundered.

    And they are not living under martial law

  6. Let’s all remember that once a virus/bacterium gets into the general population, it cannot be removed and it is impossible to stop its eventual spread. A man in Los Angeles (I might have the details a little off) was diagnosed and recovered from the Black Death, bubonic plague just a week or two ago, while a teenager in Mongolia died from the same ailment about a month ago. There are still cases of pneumonic plague surfacing every year. We cannot allow our society to dissolve because of a crisis and COVID 19 as not in the same league as either of the plagues at their peaks. Enough is enough.

  7. Well.
    It is the nature of a kleptocracy to never stop stealing.
    So masks must work?
    As they are being mandated as protective devices to stop the spread of the Wuhan Flu.
    If masks work,then the emergency is over.

    Of course if masks are ineffectual and cannot stop the spread of this virus,then the imposition order and any fines for breaching that order are outright fraud.

    Brazil is stabilizing,very soon Brazil and Sweden are going to be laughing at the rest of us as we prolong everyones suffering and drive the country further into bankruptcy..

    As for the “if it saves just one life” F.U.,hurry off and die,because you are so afraid of living you are wasting each breath.

  8. “Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
    Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
    Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?”

  9. How many Canadians died last year on our highways??
    Maybe we need to ban driving.
    Cars, trucks, buses, you name it.
    Cuz if it only saves one life…..

    1. from the article ” those who cannot wear a mask for medical reasons are exempt, and are not required to provide proof of exemption”. So, an unenforceable bylaw, then?

    1. Correct Doug. We have been wrong with what has been done from the very start. Even denying a drug that has been proven to be effective at the onset of the flu virus. The HCQ cocktail has benefited tens of thousands and there are thousands of doctors who say so having used it effectively. Yet the communists running our medical system say we cannot have it. That to me is a serious criminal action.

      1. Correct. They use it in Hungary, which by the way is one of the top producer of it and banned its export in March. Canada death rate 240 per million, Hungary 63, USA 545, Sweden 545.

    2. Sending the sick to a foreign country to sicken innocent people is enemy action.

      Letting them enter your country is treason.

  10. MF805 /CXA805 – 787 -9 Dreamliner, XIANMEN, CHINA ——->VANCOUVER.
    Landing 8:20 a.m. PDT

    That right there tells you this country is super serious about stopping this deadly “pandemic” dead in its tracks.
    Now wear those masks!!!!!!!

  11. When did a simple precaution that costs little, takes little effort, and is shown to work, like wearing a mask, become a conspiracy to shame people?

    “So how exactly are masks mandates helping us stay safe?”

    Why do cops wear bullet proof vests when they could still get shot in the head? Because it provides some protection and reduces the number of dead cops. All masks would do is speed the day that some kind of normalcy returns, your pre-COVID normal life ended the day the virus they cooked up escaped from a ChiCom lab.

    Weirdly enough, studies of where mask mandates were put in place show a reduction in spread of the disease, and laboratory tests with surgical masks and viruses show that while the masks don’t stop most viruses, for some reason they do coronavirus. Maybe having something to do with static electricity, IDK. That’s called a lucky break and we should take it.

    You guys rant that we should “protect the vulnerable” and the rest of us should get on with our lives, but “the vulnerable” have to go into grocery stores. Obviously there are morons among the Democrats especially, who want to take it too far. There is little risk of transmission outdoors except in crowds. The only known case I have read of of outdoor transmission were running partners. Any mandate should be done with a light touch, obviously.

    1. Nowhere in your rant did you mention the type of mask, specifications, manufacturer, weave matrix, and so on, which as anyone who’s worked in medical labs and the chemical industry knows, all these things are spelled out in detail for you when employed in these fields, which I was. Oh and btw…If this is such a deadly virus, where’s the Biohazard bins where one can dispose of the “mask” after use? What, are you supposed to keep using? Kinda defeats the purpose doesn’t it?
      Toronto bylaw specifically states “mask or face covering”. Face covering? What the hell does that mean??? Cheesecloth?…Coffee filters…Granny’s old handkerchief? I guess by that definition a mosquito net would do just fine.

      If you want to use PPE, by all means, knock yourself out. Your vulnerability to outside bacteria, viruses, etc. are never contingent on whether others are using theirs, so stop berating those who aren’t adhering to your flawed logic. Like claiming you were seriously hurt in an auto accident because the driver of the other car wasn’t wearing his seat belt.

      “Weirdly enough, studies of where mask mandates were put in place show a reduction in spread of the disease, …
      I’ll assume they didn’t perform that study in Sweden.

      1. masks are the new tim hortons litter. I see them all over the place, parking lots, streets ,ditches, yep that sure is a dangerous flu.

  12. The test on surgical masks and coronaviruses was done on common cold viruses before this pandemic and its absurd politicization, BTW. In case you were wondering if it was faked up for the Democrats.

    1. Well Tim that is very nice;”The test on surgical masks and coronaviruses was done on common cold viruses before this pandemic and its absurd politicization”
      but surgical masks are not being mandated now are they.?
      So you have failed to answer burton’s point.
      If this mask mandate was issued for a work site hazard,with so little useful details and such vague parameters,the safety idiots would face revolt and then their firing.

      Burton,the proper “face covering” in Canada is of course the burka.
      Although a thong or mosquito hat would be also in the spirit of this idiocy.
      As far as face covering goes,do Mimes get a pass?
      And is air,as in our atmosphere, not covering our faces 24/7?
