A Night With The Untouchables

Let Them Eat Taser What He Said 20 Comments


I live in downtown Ottawa, right in the middle of the trucker convoy protest.

They are literally camped out below my bedroom window. My new neighbours moved in on Friday and they seem determined to stay. I have read a lot about what my new neighbours are supposedly like, mostly from reporters and columnists who write from distant vantage points somewhere in the media heartland of Canada. Apparently the people who inhabit the patch of asphalt next to my bedroom are white supremacists, racists, hatemongers, pseudo-Trumpian grifters, and even QAnon-style nutters. I have a perfect view down Kent Street – the absolute ground zero of the convoy. In the morning, I see some protesters emerge from their trucks to stretch their legs, but mostly throughout the day they remain in their cabs honking their horns. At night I see small groups huddled in quiet conversations in their new found companionship. There is no honking at night. What I haven’t noticed, not even once, are reporters from any of Canada’s news agencies walking among the trucks to find out who these people are. So last night, I decided to do just that – I introduced myself to my new neighbours.

Great piece. Share it far and wide.

The Carillon- Freedom convoy plans move to Winnipeg

While the slow crawl protest at the Emerson port of entry on Highway 75 was set to end Wednesday, truckers aren’t about to go home. Instead they will transition to the Manitoba Legislature on Friday,

“We are excited about the opportunity of joining forces with this group where we will take the same approach in Winnipeg as they are in Ottawa,” he said in the message. “The message is clear – we do not move until all mandates are lifted.”

My understanding is that they’re going to try and do this in every province. The honking will continue until freedom improves.

In at least three provinces lately, Canadians who are double-vaccinated have been more likely to test positive for COVID than the unvaccinated, a fact that has been seized on by anti-vaccination activists as supposed evidence the shots don’t work.

On Monday in Alberta , for instance, 89 in 100,000 people who had received two doses of vaccine tested positive for the coronavirus, compared to 68 in 100,000 of those who have so far avoided vaccination.

But experts say the trend probably stems from statistical “biases” — the nature of the people who have been getting tested and who most frequently were exposed to the virus — and definitely not some strange quirk of immunization. […]

“It’s curious,” admits Dr. Mark Loeb, an infectious-disease doctor and professor at McMaster University. “The first thing for me that comes to mind is, I don’t see any biological explanation for this. I don’t think that makes sense.”

The “confusing” trend can be logically explained but “it behooves us not to hide from these data or to minimize them, but instead to wrestle with them,” says University of Ottawa epidemiologist Raywat Deonandan.

77% of yesterday’s new cases in Saskatchewan were among the fully vaccinated, who make up about 74% of the population. Yes, it’s probably skewed by the fact that the unvaccinated are less likely to seek out testing and be added to the official government count, unless they’re truly sick. But that’s always been the case, and the shift in relative percentages have been moving steadily toward equilibrium just the same.

The passport mandate is logically unsustainable and scientifically unsound, and judging by the recent signals, the Saskatchewan government knows it.

I guess “99% certain” just doesn’t mean what it used to.

“I have all the confidence in the world that we’re going to go back to where we were before the pandemic,” he said. “The economy will be absolutely booming as sure as I’m standing here.”

Despite comments made by Toronto Mayor John Tory earlier this week about the province needing vaccine passports moving forward, Ford said, “we aren’t doing it; simple as that,” and added that he doesn’t want to create “a split society.”

As soon as the cross border vaxx mandate was announced, various governments and organizations sought to promote the idea that the negative effect on supply chains would be minimal or even non-existent.

It’s revealing that even the taxpayer funded MSM seems to be waking up to this reality. It seems that some trucking firms are not singing from the same song sheet as the Canadian Trucking Association. Instead, they are more focused on their balance sheet, and that’s not looking too rosy.

Semi-trailers owned by a Manitoba-based trucking company are sitting idle on Saturday as about 10 per cent of the workforce is unable to cross the border due to new vaccine requirements.

That means nearly 10 per cent of the drivers who work at Bison Transport out of Winnipeg are not able to do their jobs.

“This has added substantial costs to our operation, as we have idle trucks and trailers that still need to be paid for,” said president and CEO Rob Penner in an email to CBC News.
