A political conundrum

When a Canadian conservative politician advocates the end of senseless Covid border controls, he is denounced as “right-wing” and “anti-science”. Now that the left’s poster child for Covid lockdowns has adopted the same policies, what mental gymnastics can we expect to see from the Canadian left as they try to square that circle?

From Tuesday, mask-wearing will only be compulsory in healthcare settings, excepting mental health services. Also gone are the few remaining vaccine mandates, for workers and inbound travellers. Tests on arrival in New Zealand are no longer required but encouraged.

    1. My Gracious God. Someone, a lot of people, belong in jail for what they have done coercing people to get this vax.

  1. You truly expect Trudeau, his orange butt pustule and their brain dead followers to care what the NZ donkey does? Trudeau is drunk on his own power and will squeeze us to get his jollies for as long as he can. Besides, remember that leftists are mentally ill and can hold several contradictory ideas at the same time in what passes for their brains.

      1. I print many of them out and post them on the fridge in the boat shed. I’ve managed to offend a few relatives/public school teachers and fellow cottagers but it keeps them away from my beer and bait so it’s well worth it.

        1. Bonus.

          I’ve found waving off their steaming pile of Venezuelan snake oil then walking away has a positive effect towards that end.

          What kind of beer do you drink?

          What are you using for bait?

          I’m low on both, just sayin’. 😉

  2. The left will simply follow the N.Z. lead and quietly drop the last remnants of covid control, and invent another line of illogic to shit on the conservatives.

  3. The deaths need to keep racking up. It’s the only way this turns around.

    I’m not on Twitter but I do have a bookmark for #vaccineSideEffects. There was a great post someone screenprinted of a guy admitting he had a hate on for those that refused the jabs. He’s ashamed of it now and is worried about his own health. Others echoed the same thoughts.

    I don’t know the truth of it, but someone mentiomed only 12% of Canadians are up to date on their jabs. That’s also good news. The dead and injured are waking up those who blindly went along to get things back to normal.

    A tough lesson…

    1. I saw a by-age breakdown of “booster” shot status in Ontario and once you get under the age of 60, it’s VERY low. Like, 20-25%, TOPS, getting lower & lower as you go down the age brackets. Up above 60 it’s much higher, 50% and up. IIRC the total number of people who’ve had at least three doses is 50-55% or so, but heavily age-distributed.

      And even in the <5 crowd who just had the wretched shots approved, the total uptake is still in the single digits. Parents are waking up in big numbers. Even a family friend, a nurse, has said she's no longer comfortable giving them to her two young boys, because she just saw them have mild Covid infections and come out just fine. She actually had booked appointments for them but recently cancelled. I made sure to tell her, "Good for you!"

      Justin is way, way behind on this one, but he's such a spiteful a****** that he's not going to yield until the Liberal caucus all but revolts on him.

  4. Hypocrisy is not an issue on the Left. Take any issue and it is rife with Leftist hypocrisy. They simply ignore the criticism of their acts and don’t lower themselves to your level and explain.

    Examples: Inflation reduction act increases inflation….so what. Trump is accused of collusion with Russia while Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden actively flaunt their own collusion….so what. Various high level and midlevel politicians force the use of unproven medical techniques…then ignore their own edicts…..so what. Defund the police movements result massive crime increase across the nation…while the politicians supporting these movements complain about feeling unsafe (and build a barrier around their place of work)….so what. BLM and ANTIFA cause billions and billions in damage, cause a multitude of injuries and death, go so far as to set up their own “country” in the middle of a US city…and the group of conservatives invited into the Capitol building are labeled insurrectionists….so what. Rinse lather repeat…ad nauseum.

    The simple fact of the matter is there are no repercussions for Leftist actions….because there is no one in a position to hold them accountable. That used to be voting, but that process has be circumvented by the Courts and well placed individuals in the DOJ and Law enforcement.

  5. Given the Trudeau Liberal government’s pattern over the last 2.5 years, my guess is that they will continue to: make shit up but say it’s “following the science”, further violate Canadians human/civil/medical/charter rights, and slander everyone who questions the covid policies of the Trudeau Liberals.

    The various institutions and systems that are supposed to protect citizen’s rights will continue to be too corrupt or too gutless to intervene.

    The provincial governments, including the Saskatchewan Segregation Party, will publicly pledge to uphold citizen’s rights and then cave in and implement whatever mandates or discrimination Trudeau tells them to implement.

    The media, as paid employees of the Trudeau Liberals, will get their talking points from the PMO and attack or praise whoever they are told to target. Like last winter, I expect the Toronto Star to fill their front page with attacks on those who are unwilling to “update” their covid shots or follow other covid decrees ordered by Trudeau.

  6. I expect the Trudeau government to loosen Canadian entry requirements soon, in part to take the wind out of the sail of Poilievre.

  7. The imposition of Covid policies was political, and dropping them will be political. This should not be surprising.

    The Liberals will say whatever lie they think is to their benefit at the time, the media will all bark on command like the trained seals that they are, and all will go forward as they have planned.

    Until it doesn’t. At that point, things could become… interesting.

  8. The current state of NZ’s media and ours as well negates any need for explanations, mea culpas or health policy 180s.
    In fact this covid nonsense wouldn’t have been pulled off 20 years ago. Globalists bided their time and waited for che guevara types to fill key media positions and it was off to the races we go.

    pro tip: When you see the bio of a young journalist and it has “I wanted to make a difference” as a reason for getting into the profession…it’s a tell that they’ve taken a big swig of leftie kool aid.

    1. I believe our Governments, of all stripes, are and have been inept, incompetent, co-opted and disingenuous to a fault throughout the whole virus scamdemic.

      Where is the Post Mortem, Canadian Media?

  9. How healthy is to wear a piece of plastic on your face in healthcare settings? No wonder healthcare workers are burnt out.

  10. Only 2 remaining. Who you got, US or Canada?
    My guess is Canada, no benefit for dingleberry. US has mid-terms, won’t move the needle, but anything positive from this administration would be a first. But then again, they might remove travel restrictions jointly. That would be the right thing to do so, slim to none.

    1. More like the shark dumped her… Something as evil as Jacinda must taste bloody awful.

  11. ” ‘She is part of’ a small, fringe element in this country that is angry, that doesn’t believe in science, that is lashing out with racist, misogynistic attacks, ”

    Point of order, when Trudeau called people who didn’t get the Jonestown Juice misogynists, did that include women?

    Remember what Al Bundy said about women hating women.
    Is Justin Trudeau actually Al Bundy?

  12. Other than the federal government and boomer cat ladies and other insane freaks is there anyone out there who even cares about covid anymore? Life is completely normal now EXCEPT when you go to a freaking airport and then all of a sudden it’s March 2020 again and you’d better mask up and show your papers. This government is a freakshow clown festival and needs to go ASAP.

    1. Coastal BC is still full of paranoid irrational sheep.
      Just visit any Costco or grocery store, the mentally damaged self-reveal their paranoia.
      Oak Bay and Victoria are particularly crazy places, FYI, lots of retired gubermint sheep there that dote to their ENDP.

      1. I see very few but I don’t hang around the deranged and I stay far away from insane maskies. Their hypoxic trance makes them very dangerous.

  13. If you’re going across the border, take your passport, and read the inside. You are granted entry into Canada without conditions. If they ask you Arrivecan app, or health information, just say you are compelled to reveal private information of a medical nature to CBSA. When they threaten you with public health or a 14 day quarantine, ignore. When they ask your phone number, do not disclose, it’s not required by law. Once home, if you’re worried, leave your car in the driveway, your credit cards and debit on the table, take cash, and leave the phone on the counter in your kitchen, draw the blinds, and go out and have fun. Without visual confirmation, or a credit card/debit identity, they would have to encounter you in person, and they don’t have the resources.

    I have not heard of one single person who pleaded not guilty and ever had to pay the fine.
