  1. Of course you’re jealous. And it’s your own fault, you aren’t getting vaccinated and don’t get me started on all the risky behavior that you’ve been engaging in such as going outside or talking to people.

    Back, back into your bubble! Somebody had covid last week, so you’re all at terrible risk of dying!

  2. Today at my morning swim not a single person was wearing a mask in line or going through the building. Last week everyone had one. Nice to see everyone’s face again. A few older folks were still wearing them at the grocery store and gas station yesterday but that’s about it. I suspect things will return to normal fairly quickly around here.

    1. Dateline: Kerrisdale, Vancouver July 11.
      At the block long supermarket near me yesterday three people — older men — were maskless, me being 1/3 of that. Also there’s a high level of mask-wearing on the sidewalks and even in cars.

      1. I live near a “blink and you’ve missed” it town. A delightful place located at the junction of normal and boring. There’s benefits to living off the beaten path and, surprisingly, less peer pressure or pressure to conform is one of them. In places where it’s almost impossible to be anonymous, a scolding “Karen” will run into her scoldee on a regular basis and there might be consequences for being in-your-face obnoxious. Gossip, OTOH….

    2. LC…that is good news..!!

      I do not see that in Greater Calgary.

      Likely 90% + of the Oriental Crowd + a Great Swath of seniors & numerous young folks here still driving, walking about outside wearing their masks ….that and it seems near all the Retail majors maintaining their internal Mask mandates.

      unreal….We can thank the CBC, CTV, Globe n Mail, McLeans + GOVT Medical Fascists with Meaningless words of “CASES CASES CASES – Variants – Variants – Variants” ad nausea.
      FEAR CAMPAIGNS work.!!

      Canadians are such complete & utter simpletons (at least 75%)…IMO.

      1. It will be interesting to see how much longer it takes bigger city residents to remove their masks. I’m driving to the city this week so I’ll have to people watch and note the difference between here and there.

      2. steakman:

        Migawd yes. The Chinese. From toddlers to octogenerian+ always and everywhere. My guess is they will never liberate themselves from the useless chain-link-fence masks.

  3. My guess is that since Pallister is channeling Ford and Legault, mask mandates will unfortunately stay here in Manitoba. We will be vacationing in the west this year.

    Legault’s one meter rule is micromanagement of human affairs taken to a whole new level. Is he channeling Eric Cartman? Par for the course in a province in which a language inspector can tell you what to call a hamburger.

  4. Meanwhile they’re still “disinfecting” the counters in between customers at the LCBO.

  5. Please tell me you didn’t actually make coffee in that thing and then drink it.

    I may skip breakfast now

  6. Be interesting to see how the falling covid numbers line up with falling spring flu numbers from previous years. Pfizer is already calling for a third booster shot, saying the vax starts losing effectiveness after 6 months. Sounds like a precursor to increasing covid numbers in the fall. Just like the flu.

    1. What a coincidence. Maybe “Covid-19” is just a re-branding of the flu.

      *Hint: It is.

  7. Most people seem to think that vaccines would eradicate Covid. If they work as intended, they prevent vaccinated people from getting seriously ill and nothing more. Note that public health authorities are not doing a whole lot to emphasize this distinction. Case numbers will inevitably go up in fall and when they do, the believers in Covid Zero will be howling for more lockdowns. It would seem that we’ve created a society full of Pavlov’s dogs.

    1. There is no vaccine, people are taking a gene altering drug and they are very stupid for doing so.

  8. Funny the MIT, yeah that place has said the 6ft rules is worthless. After many test they understood that if it be 6ft or 60ft. The virus isn’t spread the way everyone thinks.

    Fools I tell-ya

    1. Dustoff

      and they have found SARS 2 anti bodies in the blood samples of cancer patients in both Italy and France, these samples were taken in Aug 2019, so this shit show started a lot sooner then they let on. I have been telling my friends that all along, bc math dictates that the spread was way to fast for a Nov/Dec start!

  9. With the lifting of restrictions there are apparently a number of small bar and restaurant owners unhappy with their resulting inability to continue to sell wine and spirits out the door. This temporary relaxation of the province’s rules was put in place to help small businesses weather the pandemic. Certain bar and restaurant owners feel that they were not given enough notice despite being well aware of the fact that this change in the rules was temporary and would end upon covid restrictions being lifted.
    However, that is not the story here. The opposition NDP jumped on the opportunity to paint the ruling Sask Party as heartless dictators. One NDP MLA went so far as to state that the government simply did not understand small business and invited unhappy bar and restaurant owners to contact her with their complaints. This is the height of hypocrisy and reaches the level of laughable. People have not forgotten that, throughout the pandemic, it was the NDP who constantly sniped at the government for not going into full lockdown mode. Now that would really help small business wouldn’t it? Saskatchewanians also remember the dark days of NDP rule when the only place you could purchase wine and spirits was at the government owned and operated liquor stores featuring surly unionized employees, banker’s hours and limited product selection. Everyone remembers the hysterical outcry from the NDP when the Sask Party wisely decided to allow private businesses to sell wine and spirits. The NDP predicted an epidemic of drunk driving, underage drinking, domestic violence, family breakups and total mayhem. Every time that an NDP MLA opens his or her mouth it serves no purpose other than giving Saskatchewanians the satisfaction of knowing that turfing the socialists years ago was exactly the right move. The best move for the NDP would be for its leader to instruct his tiny caucus to refrain from running their mouths at every perceived opportunity. Thankfully this will never happen since the leader himself has an annoying propensity for seeking out reporters and cameras whenever possible and spewing verbal diarrhea in all directions.

  10. I’m not convinced the proles will accept any future lockdown. Can’t see it happening here in Alberta without a fight. People have had enough.

    Every politician should be summarily thrown from office over the handling of the pandemic.

    1. abtrapper, oh yes they will!!

      They certainly will in lower mainland BC.
      Over the 15 months to bend the curve scam I have made many off the cuff remarks to strangers about the insanity of it all. Honestly: not one single acknowedgement, not even a surreptitious head-nod.

      1. Dhimmi, I get the opposite. About 75% of my derogatory remarks about all the insanity gets nods and other forms of pissed off agreement. I’m small town, (NDP) west coast BC, where are you? City, Town, Village, Rural?

    2. They will bend abtrapper. The govt will fine businesses that fail to respect their dictates. If the proles can’t get service without a mask, they will bend. That’s been the how everything is enforced. Fine the bueiness.

  11. Just read the article about the Hatchet Lake Indians and the feds sending a rapid test machine and are going door to door with vaccinations.Can the “whinny”indians not do ANYTHING on their own? Who wipes their ass after the’ve had a crap.

    1. YES, they want “access” — not take-out but free home delivery access!

      1. They will bend abtrapper. The govt will fine businesses that fail to respect their dictates. If the proles can’t get service without a mask, they will bend. That’s been the how everything is enforced. Fine the bueiness.

  12. Saskatchewan has a very low population compared to my Ontario…so the solution is more vaccines to be free…in a decade or so we should be, as fertility rates drops next to zero.
    Come on kids get your shots!

    1. Correct. I am hated in my area, as most of my so called friends managed to turn into idiots when the government told them to.

      1. vowg, Perhaps you need better friends. In truth, I think I have about five that I would call TRUE friends.

        1. You are lucky. Most of those I considered friends are dead. Maybe 3 or 4 one could really rely on.

  13. We did that in Alberta around July 1st but our purple mayor and his court ignored the provincial government and kept restrictions until July 5th. A friend just flew in from the US and he didn’t have to quarantine because he had two vaccines more than two weeks ago.

      1. vowg, I’m in the same boat and I’m a very old white guy myself. Even my family are against me. I’m an outcast. But in my view, this is natures way of cleansing the gene pool of weak thinkers. If indeed women become infertile or have defective children, only the non-vaxxed, the people who are logical thinkers, will be left to re-populate the earth.

        My attitude is that I have done what i I can to dissuade my family from being guinea pigs, but the fraudsters won.

  14. It has been really nice to see most people at the gym the last two days without their masks on. One guy yesterday was still working out with his giant mask and glasses fogged completely over but I’m thinking he’ll see the light one of these days. Sadly when leaving the gym today I passed one young guy driving alone in his convertible masked up to his eye balls. Oh well, can’t fix stupid I guess…

    1. hvb, Actually, you can fix stupid, with a ten cent, high speed, lead pill. Unfortunately it’s frowned upon. But, with the new culling regime now accepted and coming in to focus, perhaps the fix might yet get approved.

  15. If you can be forced to wear masks whenever it pleases your rulers, you are not “free” if it pleases your rulers to allow you not to wear a mask for a (short) period of their choosing after incentivizing you to participate in a genetic experiment.

  16. I suspect what this will turn into is a division of society where mask wearing is required for non-vaccinated persons, with two winning outcomes for the globalist state, one being humiliation of those who refuse to comply, and the other being a pretext for arresting those who don’t wear a mask while not vaccinated. How will they find that out? The Karens will be working on it non stop.

    This is what I am expecting will be the outcome, and it was probably the end game all along. They want the population compliant for the climate emergency lockdowns of 2022-23. Just a theory, of course, but waiting to hear a better one given that COVID19 is apparently a vastly overhyped issue.

  17. who thought so many could be forced to comply, well I knew most would, as I went o church for the first part of my life. And religious people are idiots who follow, not lead.
