Recent data continues to show that the claim of a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” is a verifiable falsehood, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said.
“Millions of Americans who dutifully got the vaccine, good for them, are now finding out that they have the coronavirus. Millions — in New York state alone there have been half a million verified (cases),” Carlson said on his show January 4.
While plenty of countries are currently experiencing record-breaking COVID-19 cases due to Omicron, almost none are locking down quite as hard as Ontario and Quebec . Both Canadian provinces have closed schools and imposed blanket bans on indoor dining, gyms and bars, and Quebec has even imposed a curfew prescribing fines of up to $6,000 for anyone outside their home after 10 p.m. without explanation. Here’s a quick look at how that compares to the rest of the Omicron-plagued world.
There are countless examples showing how little sense the federal government has shown in its handling of the COVID pandemic over the past two years.
Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole on Thursday defended his most recent calls for the government to “accommodate” people who won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Cases of the highly contagious Omicron variant are spreading rapidly around the world, shattering case counts in Canada and straining health-care systems already struggling two years into the pandemic.
It’s not just that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talked about a group of fellow Canadians with such gross malevolence that was shocking.
He’s done this before and makes no secret of his disdain for the unvaccinated.
What was equally as shocking is opposition leaders didn’t call him out on it. This should scare those in this unfairly outcast group who feel they are being phased out as employees, citizens and people free to go into public places.
“… During Redman’s decades in the Canadian Armed Forces, he was involved in responses to disasters across the world and has seen very few best practices rolled out to deal with COVID-19. “In two years, the people that are in charge have completely shown themselves incapable of even managing their own system,” Redman contended.”
It is never right for the leader of a country to launch a furious invective against an entire subset of citizens. It is certainly never right to do so with the full force and blatant contempt that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau put on display during last fall’s election.
We have discussed this guy before. [HERE and HERE and HERE]. Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner is a fast-talking little man of notoriously intemperate disposition who will not allow any criticism of his totalitarian tendencies. Gunner has promised to be as brutal as needed to stop COVID spread in the region. He will accept no vocal dissent to his mandates from citizens in the state. All vaccine hesitant citizens are considered enemies of the state, and now subject to arrest if they voice any objection.

… Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday he was “extremely frustrated” seeing the videos.
“It is a slap in the face to see people putting themselves, putting their fellow citizens, putting airline workers at risk by being completely irresponsible.”
He said Transport Canada is taking the situation “extremely seriously” and would be continuing its investigation.

Most Canadians Opposed to Vaccine Passports, Says Internal Government Polling
Private polling by the federal government shows that most Canadians are opposed to vaccine passports, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
The independent media outlet quoted a report titled “Continuous Qualitative Data Collection of Canadians’ Views,” which was produced for the Privy Council Office (PCO), the body advising the prime minister.
Essential services across Canada hit by staff shortages due to COVID-19
Emergency services in many major Canadian cities are facing staffing shortages due to a surge in COVID-19 cases across the country, with police, ambulance and fire all scrambling to redeploy and bolster their ranks.
The highly transmissible Omicron variant is already forcing small and large business across Canada to close their doors as infected or potentially infected employees are forced into isolation. But staff shortages are also becoming an issue for some emergency services.
Maxime Bernier called out the fact that shuttering all places in Ontario, which only allowed those with the COVID jabs access to them, shows vaccine passports are a failure.
With the Omicron-driven pandemic wave sweeping the country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadians are growing more angry and frustrated with people who still refuse to get vaccinated.
Trudeau said that while most Canadians have stepped up to get their shots — putting Canada near the top of the list of countries with the highest vaccination rates — the unvaccinated remain a problem.
A national leader stoking divisions in the most cynical way, asking if certain people in the country should be ‘tolerated’ and demonizing a group for his own political advantage.
Repeated closures of businesses on the whims of politicians.
Rules that benefit a select few while punishing everyone else, like allowing professional athletes to keep training while closing gyms to the general public.
Whiplash-inducing reversals by government officials that seem almost designed to cause further mental health anguish in the population.
Incompetent management of the healthcare system, which is then used as the pretext to take away rights and freedoms.
The very smart and educated people of Yale have decided to quarantine all of their students for the next month due to the very scary Omicron variant of Covid-19.
For all the vaccine passports and shutdowns in provinces across the country, only Quebec has gone so far as to impose a curfew on its citizens to supposedly flatten the curve. Twice. The latest curfew went into effect New Year’s Eve and subjects Quebecers to fines if they are caught outside their homes at night. Westphalian Times senior editor Marie Oakes joined The Andrew Lawton Show to talk about Quebec’s restrictions and why a number of Canadians – including her – are headed for the border and not looking back.
