No chicken fingers? Call the cops!
If an economy was recovering from pandemic restrictions and actually growing, these kinds of supply chain management issues would not be happening. Are attempts to involve the police a result of the encouragement of neighborhood snitching during the pandemic?
According to The Independent, the shortage of menu items caused a large enough uproar that London’s Metropolitan Police was forced to publish a tweet about the “KFC Crisis.”

The Democratic Republic Of Erin O’Toole
With all the smartest people in the room predicting a Trudeau majority, this is our opportunity to burn the Conservative Party to the ground.
Jonas J. Smith announced his candidacy on July 13. He was acclaimed as the Yukon candidate. He ran in the 2019 election and was nearly successful, narrowly losing to Liberal candidate Larry Bagnell by less than one per cent of votes.
The decision to end his candidacy came down from the party’s “central campaign” according to Smith, who said he was informed of the decision early on Aug. 12 — his statement on the end of his candidacy went out late that afternoon. […]
“This comes as shocking news to me, my family, my local campaign team and my thousands of supporters across the territory,” said Smith in his press release. “With an election call imminent, this is devastating news for the conservative movement in the Yukon and I fear will have repercussions across the country.”
Smith said he was told the reason for his disallowment was his “opposition to calls for implementation of mandated workplace vaccinations and vaccine passport requirements in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Federal conservative leader Erin O’Toole has been vague in comments around mandatory vaccination policies, although he has been strident in encouraging vaccination for all Canadians.
Don’t blow it.

Yes, you will: If “mandatory” fails to work, then what do politicians do for an encore?
Medical jihad
According to this roundup of current CNN stories on the topic, there’s no Covid problem that can’t be solved with the firm application of Vaccine Apartheid, coupled with loading the unvaccinated with financial costs that they cannot afford.
Wen previously suggested that life should be made as difficult as possible for those who are still opting not to take the shots, and that Americans should be banned from engaging in social events and forced to undergo PCR tests twice a week if they want to stay unvaccinated. She also previously advocated directly linking the amount of freedom Americans should be allowed to their vaccination status.
Micromanaging the pings
As one would expect with all centrally planned systems, Britain’s “ping” system for tracking Covid exposure is breaking down.
Britain’s supermarkets, wholesalers and hauliers were struggling on Thursday to ensure stable food and fuel supplies after an official health app told hundreds of thousands of workers to isolate after contact with someone with COVID-19.
Dear Brian Pallister
This is what a backbone looks like.
The Disaster Pallister
Jesus Christ, what happened to you, Manitoba?
Loosened restrictions mean Manitobans are able to enjoy restaurants again in a way they haven’t since the COVID-19 pandemic began — provided they’re fully vaccinated, have waited two weeks since their second shot, and most importantly, have proof.
One Winnipeg restaurateur told 680 CJOB he’s excited for his customers who have been able to get back to some form of normalcy when it comes to going out to eat. Yet amid the new experience of scanning QR codes to confirm patrons are fully vaccinated, he says his restaurant experienced another first — a faked code.
Fionn MacCool’s manager Jay Kilgour told 680 CJOB that the incident happened over the weekend. […]
When the province launched the secure QR codes as digital and physical proof of vaccination last month, premier Brian Pallister said the benefits of the vaccination cards were earned by Manitobans who have made the effort to get vaccinated and follow restrictions.
Your Premier is a deranged psychopath. Look over the fence to next door to remind yourselves how normal people live.
Rubber rooms for all
If this bunch has their way, we can look forward to permanent worldwide lockdowns. Why is zero Covid even a goal?
It comes as more than 1,200 ‘Zero Covid’ scientists – who believe that coronavirus should be completely eradicated with global lockdowns and social distancing – accused the UK of ‘endangering the world’ and creating conditions for the emergence of a new variant by pressing on with ‘Freedom Day’ on July 19.
‘We started easing restrictions before everybody was vaccinated.
What’s the plan for vaccinating everybody ? Jail for the refuseniks?
What’s necessary beyond a bearskin, a cave, and a chunk of meat?
Here in North America many have been rightfully critical of the Covid lockdowns. But what we put up with pales in comparison to what’s going on down under.
Police will be asking people who are outside their homes what their reasonable excuse is, and will be cracking down on activities like unnecessary shopping.
“You don’t need that pair of shoes today,” said local commander Assistant Commissioner Tony Cooke.
Wuhan Flu: The 75% Solution
Trudeau says: Canada won’t open border fully until 75% people vaccinated…
So, what’s the plan for when this thing “goes away on it’s own” and we’re still short of the target? Because that threshold of 75% double-dose will never be met. Even in Saskatchewan where the hesitant are growing numb from the lectures, pleading and insults, we’re only crawling our way to 70% on the first shot.

[T]here are those among us who think we should view Trudeau skirting this farkakta system he’s in charge of as a non-event: “Let’s just get over this. He’s the prime minister,” his former foreign policy adviser Roland Paris told Global News — as if we were talking about renovating 24 Sussex Drive, or buying new government jets, or any of the other things that inform world-weary “omigod we’re so petty and cheap” takes on Canadian politics.
Sorry, no. Idiotic policy-making and hypocrisy are quite rightly newsworthy in politicians on their own; when they combine as spectacularly as this, it’s an opportunity to pay close attention to both, not look away.
Move those goalposts!
Many of us have seen this coming for quite some time. It’s par for the course when computer models substitute for rational judgement.
Should we aim for higher,” [Tam] asked. “Yes, I think we should. As I said, shoot for higher, shoot for gold, shoot for the stars. That gives us a better buffer for managing the COVID-19 situation.”
Shooting the economy in the head should not be confused with shooting for the stars.
Stockholm syndrome
Why would any business owner support this bunch?
It all comes down to a slow return to pre-pandemic revenue levels amid continuing restrictions, along with a large debt load that makes it impossible for struggling firms to borrow more.
Why bother to correctly identify the problem if all you propose are solutions which will largely make it worse? The 12 point program linked to the article seems like a prescription for suicide.

Fully vaccinated Manitobans to get secure immunization card
A new secure immunization card confirming full immunization against COVID-19 will mean Manitobans with two shots can travel within Canada without quarantining on their return, and enjoy expanded visits at hospitals and personal care homes, Manitoba’s premier says.
He Admires Their Basic Dictatorship
@stevenchase — House of Commons has been notified by the law clerk that the minority Liberal government has refused to comply with an order of the House asking that all uncensored records on the firing of two scientists from Winnipeg’s National Microbiology Lab be provided to the Speaker.
