If a problem can’t be resolved by turning a province into a prison camp, then maybe the solution is to turn it into a whole bunch of smaller prison camps!
“This is not the time to load up the Winnebago and travel around British Columbia,” Horgan said.
No. Maybe it’s time to load up the Winnebago and leave BC for good.
Why not just give everyone a district number just like in all the dystopian Hollywood movies?
Those wren’t dystopias, they were the wet dreams of the Hollywood Glitterati.
You don’t seem to get that all those movies are what leftists wish would happen and it’s finally come true.
May the odds forever be in your favour.
The Women of Health District H: Karen’s rampage.
Governments are getting the response they might have expected after years of over-hyping every other semi-imaginary “problem” from the climate (non-) emergency to the widespread (largely phantom) oppression of visible minorities, to the need to accommodate whatever genders were dreamed up the night before. People have started to tune out their elites who seem to be obsessed with things that don’t actually exist, so it doesn’t surprise me that they take the same attitude towards COVID-19 which is for many people a health outcome they have only heard about third hand. Add in the “variants” which struck many as the same new paradigm shift as when global warming became climate change (easier to sell).
I’m not saying the pandemic is a hoax or that these travel restrictions are not a good idea on a temporary basis, but frankly, we have been lied to so many times by our various levels of government that there is a sort of disbelief fatigue out there, as in “oh brother here we go again.”
What I do think we need to do on a large organized basis is to take back the ultimate decision making from elites and restore it to actual representatives of real people. It will help when elections are decided by real people and not dubious mailed in ballots that could have originated anywhere (and probably did). Then it would also help if we could freely talk about things that are contentious instead of being lectured by the elitists about hurting the feelings of every Tom, Dick and Abdul who showed up here. Then maybe we will have respect for government as we probably had back in the days of real emergencies.
Well Peter, I’ll say it for you: These travel restrictions are a stupid idea, and should be such an affront to free people that they are ignored an flauted even with nowhere to go. Submission is an act of cowardice and will be justly rewarded.
Not just stupid. Appalling. I’m amazed anyone is “following orders.” WTF is wrong with BC? And Ontario? Well, ok: all of Canada?
Yeah, fun times thanks to St Bonnie of Henry and Whoregan. Two incompetent blustering boobs.
So, as they keep dosing the misled with their experimental gene therapy, and, promising “immunity”, they ramp up the authoritarianism at the same time. Smells like manipulation of the last group of simpleminded holdouts, to force the woohoo goo into their arms.
Having said that, we’re okay on the island, we can freely travel here, but, this is a death knell to the tourist industry, one of the last industries untouched by government idiocy, though, we cant say that anymore now can we? The ENDP won’t be happy until they destroy every industry in this province, but, when you have hotel operators saying this is a good move, by destroying their business, I have no sympathy for these dimbulbs
I saw that too. NO BAILOUTS bastards. You wanted it you deal with it.
and if you notice, now the media is playing cutesy with word games.
Whoregan clearly said HEALTH AUTHORITY (the island is just 1 HA), but, the media is being cute now saying Health Regions, which are much smaller areas, four of them on the island, and, would constitute a true STASI GESTAPO tactic by Whoregan.
There arent enough cops to enforce this, unless they forgo all other crime underway. Mind you, thats the way of governments now, the criminals are set free, and the average citizen is now a crime in progress.
STASI, KGB or GESTAPO?
The criminals are in charge
When even the police are rejecting this new police state the politicians are trying to create you know things are FUBAR.
ENDP made me think of END Prosperity. Appropriate slogan.
DanBC, Woohoo goo vaccine for the wuhuflu, I’m stealing that 🙂
Welcome to the great reset.
Having had a taste of power,they will never give it up.
Only hanging them all will improve their understanding of citizens rights,freedoms and responsibilities.
Or did you think these people chose government careers cause they were the brightest and best with a clear grasp of civil society?
In case you missed it,this “crisis” empowers these “helpers” to bother us all,endlessly,without restraint nor reason..
For our own good ..of course.
These rules are absolutely stupid. They put out analysis last week that showed where they feel like spread is happening and it’s at work. It’s in industrial sites, construction sites and warehouses. NOT TRAVEL. NOT RESTAURANTS. So what is the response? They shut down the places where spread is NOT HAPPENING of course and the crowd went wild. Seriously people WANT THIS. This is why it’s never going to end people.
But note that the Ford diktat regarding construction sites only applies to “commercial’ construction not “residential”. This Chinese Cooties virus is smart. It knows the difference. It can tell the time. It knows not to go into large stores. I wonder if Ford and the gang understand that Bob the builder, constructing a small office building, right next door to a high rise Condo has to cease work while the Developer building the Condo can continue. Seems a tad discriminate;y to me. But does the Cootie know.
Funny how the bought and paid for media continues to rant about Ford restricting travel into Ontario etc., but think the socialist premier of B.C. is wonderful for going even further in restrictions.
I suffered through the BC NDP government in the 1990s and always smile when I recall the car in Vancouver with a fake BC license plate propped up in the rear window proclaiming – NDP-NFG.
I go back even further to when “Fat Little Dave” Barrett was elected and inflicted ICBC upon the province.
I agree with the lockdowns 100%
After all B.C. has x% of its population infected and Alberta has the equal amount.
Whats the difference??
Not today but flights from China and India landing tomorrow. https://www.yvr.ca/en/passengers/flights/arriving-flights
But hey. My fellow Canadians can’t go camping.
Sad.
As well as the collaborating doctors.
It looks like I’m going to have to do some fast talking if I want to keep travelling to my house in B. C. to work on settling my father’s estate.
As if not being able to sell certain things isn’t bad enough……
BADR
The worst of the worst problems, and corresponding threats of checkpoint charlies, are in Lotusland, where imports from India still fake their lack of understanding of english, to wiggle out of any roadblocks.
You should be fine up there in the Peace Country, taking some section roads a little off the beaten path
The main highway goes from Grande Prairie to Dawson Creek, so there’ll likely be a checkpoint at the provincial border.
Last year, I sold some stuff to a chap from Peace River and he apparently drove to FSJ over Hines Creek. I’d have to head north from GP to get to PR and go from there. It’ll add about 90 minutes to my trip if I took that route.
That sort of tactic makes me think of the Robert Mitchum movie Thunder Road in which he played a bootlegger hauling moonshine over back roads.
Let’s see what Victoria says.
Go to Spirit River, then head west. When you get close to the border detour onto the rural gravel roads. Buy a “Backroads” map. You will find many ways to cross into the BC Peace Region.
C’mon BADR. I worked your area of BC for years. You can get from here to there on the range roads. Get a proper map of the BC/AB border areas. I’ve done it without touching pavement, or very little of it.
Twp Rd 784 runs onto BC 210 Rd, further north Twp 790 to BC 212/203 Rd, Twp Rd 801 runs onto 218 Rd and you can go S to the Sweetwater Rd then west, or west on the Cecil Lake Rd (paved) to get over the Beaton River canyon, north of John is an obstacle. Probably patrolled by RCMP on that one. Or south from Rose Prairie from points north of it. Good set of mud tires if it’s wet, though. I’ve done the canyons sideways, 4 wheel LO, so pick a dry day and run at night. Follow a tanker truck.
Thanks for the tips, gentlemen.
Lots of “code” in St. Bonny’s fireside chat announcing the travel restrictions alongside the targeting of vaccinations towards “communities”, nearly all of which are in the Fraser Valley, location of one of the largest Sikh populations outside the Punjab. Just sayin’…..!
Not at all BADR, if stopped -” I am a (insert Indian band here) member officer, out of my may.”
Tell them you’ve got a gal in Rose Prairie. LOL. they’ll look at you funny.
I’m going to call Victoria tomorrow morning. I’m not only the executor of my father’s will, but I now own the house, so I’m obligated to check on the place once in a while.
I hope you are keeping notes so that you can write a book entitled “And you thought you owned your house and belongings. A guide to Property Rights”.
… or the maximum range of your eCar.
See … now you know the government’s WAR on ICE automobiles WAS about limiting your Freedom. WAS about restraining your movement.
The “This Hurts Me Worse Than It Hurts You” look plays well on TV but in BC we are being charged for ministry education. They sort out their “maybes” about health predictions while businesses fail, people suffer, and lives that don’t count politically are lost.
I’m tellling you, the Wuhan virus was made for the dicktators (sic) to stick their heads out and see if it suits their purpose.
Apparently, they love it, can’t get enough of it, its their future.
We need a new party and an election before they make it one party system.
As it is today the boneheaded socialists, the so called “Liberal’ scialists and the so called “Conservative” socialists are very close to be united socialist totalitarians.
I watched the movie “Contagion” from 2011 on Netflix last night. I think our political and media “betters” got all of their courses of action and talking points from this movie. Patient “0” is played by Gwenyth Paltrow who is infected when she shakes hands with a butcher/cook at the casino in Macao. He is infected from a pig which was crapped on by a bat in Huangdow Province (near Hong Kong). She goes on to breathe on gambling chips for good luck, infects her phone and the cocktail glasses from which she drinks. So she passes it to an executive from Tokyo, a girl from the Ukraine who brings it to the Ukraine, a waiter who brings it to Hong Kong. Patient “0” then has sex with an old flame in Chicago (on a 5 hour lay-over) before taking the disease to her family in Minneapolis (this city is no longer represented by Mary Tyler Moore or Mr. Grant). The R (reproductive rate) is exponential – 1 then 2 then 4 then 8 then 16 then 32 and so on. Everyone dies from it. The Chinese flu is a combination of bat and pig DNA but has a recovery rate of over 98% in healthy individuals. Our “betters” should have isolated the elderly and those with immune compromised systems and let the rest of us go about our businesses and our lives. Oh well, they have learned how to control us and so many people are willing.
Ashamed to be born & raised in British Columbia.
The NPC Sheeple commenting on the linked article would fit right in with the hapless German people of the early 1930’s. Truly pathetic!
I was reading a web page one time. “why communism requires death camps”. I won’t bother trying to find that link, every link I have ever tried to post here never made it through.
The gist of it was, that under communism, prisons become irrelevant, because the entire country is already a prison. So executions are the only punishment that there can be.
Usually for those who have seen the walls which enclose them and start to think they can either be brought down or climbed over.
I am racking my brain trying to figure out what the F is happening and why people are allowing these lockdowns to take place. I won’t deny the virus is a virus but it is not even close to the level of dangerous to require such insanity, but why are people eating it up? I agree there is the aspect of psychological warfare but I can’t help but wonder if we roll onto our backs and take it up the a$$ so easily for other reasons. Have the trace drugs in our water systems taken their toll and made us into zombies?
With “#mentalhealth” trending and the anti-depressant use now seeming to be the rule rather than the exception, are we all just ingesting so much of it in the water that we have become chemical drones. My experience working in mental health is that such medications make some people stop caring. They just become drones to life rather than thinking and living and actively dealing with their emotions. Have we all just been drugged into complacency to the point that covering our faces, taking away our jobs, closing our boarders seems completely acceptable?
Even in the current situation and my drowning in despair I would rather be awake to it all… but as the days go on I am really getting tired of it.
I honestly thought Kenney would follow suit yesterday. Surprised and gratified to find it’s not the case, but there are still more restrictions than their ought to be. They’re waiting on the Easter surge, coupled with the restaurant “lockdown” before deciding how further to humiliate us.
Our “variants of concern” are now greater than the base virus in the positive test results. Hospital cases have risen, but the death rate has stayed relatively flat since early February–it’s not keeping pace with the scaremongering–and there have even been days with no deaths. We’re at the point where things should be getting much worse to have justified the reversion to stage 1. To me, it looks like it’s turning down.
The hospitalization data is even less scary: the ICU cases (104) still haven’t gotten up to the level of the Christmas surge (peak: 151), nor the general hosp’n numbers (current: 356, peak: 767). Rate of new cases per day (compared to previous day) is not increasing meaningfully. Some graphs look scary from the right angle, but there’s a lot of spiky weekend/holiday numbers in there. But no one could ever be bothered to do this kind of analysis on any previous respiratory disease flare-ups, to the point of being able to compare real-world infection rates between viruses and seasons.
It’s all quite angrifying.
