The New Brunswick government released its Winter Action Plan on Friday, which will remain in place until Spring.
The plan includes things like masks, social distancing, restrictions on gatherings, and just so happens to also include a requirement for grocery stores to require proof of juice status on entry.
We’re long past the point in the COVID-19 pandemic when politicians are doing much more in response to viral scares than engage in rituals to soothe a fearful public and enhance their own power. With the new omicron variant spreading across the world, travel restrictions seem to be the response of choice because they’re politically popular. Never mind that closing borders is ineffective at anything other than further burdening already hobbled families and economies. The actual danger posed by omicron remains uncertain, but the policy response is as pointless as it was preordained.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of fear, manufactured by individuals who were in the nominal positions of authority as the virus began to spread across the globe last year, according to Yale epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch.
In an appearance on Epoch TV’s “American Thought Leaders” program, Risch, an epidemiology professor at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, argued that by and large, what has characterized the entire CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic has been a “degree of fear and people’s response to the fear.”
Europe is on a precipice. It has marched, blindly, towards something very much resembling tyranny. Austria will shortly criminalise those who refuse the Covid vaccine. Germany looks set to follow. Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, is wondering out loud if every member state should do likewise and make offenders of those who reject this form of medication. In Italy you are deprived of your livelihood rather than your liberty if you say no to vaccination: the unvaxxed are not permitted to work. Anywhere. In Greece, everyone over the age of 60 must pay the government 100 euros for every month they remain unvaxxed. As if the Greek government, in cahoots with its masters in Brussels, had not immiserated Greek pensioners enough already.
Australia has announced it will deny transplants to unvaccinated patients, which could potentially put millions of Colorado residents’ lives at risk if the need a transplant to save their lives. The state of Queensland has indicated it will deny life-saving organ transplants to patients who have not received the COVID vaccine.

Ontario’s deputy premier says the province’s vaccine passport system may not start to wind down next month as planned if the Omicron coronavirus variant proves itself a greater danger to the public than Delta.
Responding to an NDP query in Question Period on Monday, Health Minister and Deputy Premier Christine Elliott told legislators the system that restricts many indoor public activities to the fully vaccinated may not start shutting down next month as planned.
Those fears were apparently absent when Sultana visited the MOBO awards in Coventry, during which she was photographed in close proximity to others at an indoor event attended by thousands.

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday announced a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all private businesses in New York City — one that will take effect days before he leaves office and with the city already recording among the highest vaccination rates and lowest infection rates in the nation.
De Blasio, whose mayoralty ends at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, declared making vaccines compulsory for private businesses a “preemptive strike” against an expected surge in COVID infections this winter amid the emergence of the Omicron variant.
“We’re going to announce a first-in-the-nation measure,” de Blasio said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Hizzoner added that the mandate is aimed at “maximizing vaccination quickly, so we can get ahead of Omicron and all the other challenges we’re facing right now.”
Ontario reports 887 new COVID-19 cases, 3 more deaths
Ontario is reporting nearly 900 new COVID-19 cases today and three more virus-related deaths.
Provincial health officials logged 887 new cases today, down from 1,184 on Sunday and 1,053 on Saturday but up from 788 last Monday.
Canadian government faces 90 individual labour grievances on mandatory vaccine policy
The federal government faces at least 90 individual labour grievances related to its mandatory vaccination policy, with civil servants demanding reinstatement, compensation for lost wages and damages.
Like scavengers desperate for even a morsel of sustenance, we’re latching onto every crumb of positive-sounding news about the Omicron variant. Israel’s Health Minister has said booster shots may protect against the variant; the South African doctor who first identified Omicron noted that symptoms in infected people appear to be mild; the World Health Organization has echoed that early data does not indicate this variant causes more severe illness.
The fine for not complying to the vaccine mandate has been reduced to €2000 instead of €7200. That is quite a bit softer, but the new law has a new amendment against vaccination opponents, which the Express reports “is explosive in terms of democratic politics: in future, vaccination critics in Austria will be threatened with one year’s imprisonment.”
Over the past two years, governments have launched “unprecedented attacks” on civil liberties, a new declaration from Canada’s legal community maintains. The Free North Declaration calls on lawyers to restore freedom and the rule of law or “risk losing it for good.” One of the signatories, D. Jared Brown, is a bencher with the Law Society of Ontario. He joined The Andrew Lawton Show to explain why Canadians must reject the “new normal.”
The vaccine mandates the *president has issued are repeatedly being ruled unconstitutional for subsets of workers across the nation. Biden and company (his “handlers,” the ones he “gets in trouble with,” who “tell him who to call on,” you know—whoever actually is operating the duties of “the *President,”) see a window beginning to close on how they can use CoVid19 to manipulate the narrative into permanent control of the nation.
Out of all the mysteries related to the origins of Covid-19, the Wuhan-Winnipeg Covid connection should be standing on the shoulders of giants.
No matter how incriminating the evidence, the Liberal government of Canada remain untouchable in this regard. No greater cone of silence exists than what can be referred to as the “Wuhan-Winnipeg covid scandal.”
Over a dozen people have been forcibly taken to government isolation centers in Germany, while hundreds are being held in similar centers in Australia as Western countries continue to use mandatory COVID quarantine centers all in the name putting an end to COVID-19.
