Sept 24, 2021

Well as we all know by now, we got stuck with the same cretin in power. That was a colossal waste of time and money, having that election!  He could've given most of that to help those who need help the most, like the homeless, the poor, the disabled and people like that instead of blowing $650 million on his own grab for power, the vain little wanna-be dictator, because he didn't get any more power than he already had. I don't know as I can stand any more of his BS or not. I've pretty much had my fill already.

As Monday was an excellent day for another boat ride, my friend invited me to go with her. We spent quite a bit of time on the water going all over the place. Exploring different places that even she had never gone to before. It was quite interesting and lots of fun.

Tuesday, was bill paying time and doing errands that needed to be done - you know like picking up a loaf of bread, dropping something off for someone etc... Those sorts of errands. 

Wednesday I got to sit in the car and wait (because of Covid) while my husband went to the dentist's to get some work done. When we got home I made some clam chowder and boxed Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits for supper (sorry but I found them to be rather dry and didn't really like them so we gave the rest to our neighbour). 

Yesterday I made some bread, but basically spent most of the day and night sleeping. I don't know what hit me, but I could barely keep my eyes open. It's then that I had a ton of bad bad dreams. Holy gawd, they have to have been the worst dreams I've ever had in my entire life.Talk about a horror story. I woke up with bruises all over one of my arms, so I must've been fighting someone or something, that's for sure.

Even today I'm having a tough time of it, but so far, knocking on wood, I'm managing to keep my eyes open. I finished working on the heart shaped floral wreath (couldn't find a floral wreath pic, but found that one at the top instead) this afternoon, amid a lot of cussing and cursing and screams of pain each time I burnt a finger with the hot glue. But alas it's done. Now I hope that what I made to hang it up with, holds and it doesn't fall down and break after all that work. I know I managed to pick it up off the table holding it by the hanger I made, but that was only for a few seconds. I hope it'll hold much longer than that when we finally hang it up. Which should be later on today before supper.  

Meanwhile I've accumulated a huge backlog of Covid 19 headlines. Some of which I want to get rid of by posting them in here. As I don't know what my husband has planned for later on, I don't know how many or few of them I'll get to post in here, but whatever amount that is, it'll make my bookmark file that much smaller. So pull up a chair, get a glass of lemonade or whatever you like and start reading.

COVID vaccination site opens at Dulles for arriving Afghans

Joe Biden lashes out at China for withholding 'critical information' on Covid origins Do you honestly think they'll tell you? They don't want to be held responsible at the Hague for Crimes against Humanity and have to pay reparations for that! They're not crazy enough to admit to something like this if they can get away with it!

At least 5 B.C. universities say disclosure of COVID-19 vaccination status is now required on campus

Ontario to institute vaccine passport system, sources say 

Quebec defends vaccine passport system after politicians' QR codes allegedly hacked We printed ours out and took them to Bureau en Gros (Staples in the rest of Canada) and had them shrink them to wallet size and laminate them for us. So now they're in our wallets like all other gov't issued ids are. We just show that when we go somewhere that requires it, instead of an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper that we had to fold up to bring in our wallets with us and that the people with their cellphone readers had a hard time reading. Now it's small enough to fit in our wallet and in their screenshot all at the same time.

Why Canadians need to keep their guard up in the 4th wave — even if they're fully vaccinated Especially if you've had the Pfizer vaccine, as that seems to be little better than a placebo compared to the Moderna vaccine.

369 new Sask. COVID-19 cases marks largest single-day increase since January

Ontario reports 835 new COVID-19 cases; highest single-day case count since June 4 

How bad is Canada’s 4th COVID-19 wave getting? Here’s a look at the data

COVID-19: Premier says police will enforce vaccine card rules  Looks like BC is adopting the same gestapo measures prevalent here in QC.

Quebec reports more than 600 new daily COVID-19 cases for the third consecutive day

Wuhan facilities shed light on China’s oversight on wildlife use 

Canada suspending direct passenger flights from Morocco

New poll finds 96 per cent of Quebec teachers are vaccinated against COVID-19  They probably knew they wouldn't have a choice eventually, that the QC would mandate it sometime in the future. But aside from that, a lot of the schools are big petri dishes with all kinds of viruses and bacteria floating around and mingling with each other in each new host they come into contact with. So it's probably to their benefit that they got vaccinated. Hopefully they were vaccinated with a vaccine that actually works and not the Pfizer placebo.

‘Scapegoating China’: Beijing denounces US report on COVID origin Yeah that's a likely story, them being scapegoats on this. For that to be the case, it would have to be untrue that that virus came from China and excuse me, but the last time I checked Wuhan was located in China. Ergo, it's a fact and not untrue.

The G20's coronavirus agenda This looks like a lot of huff n puff with no fire and brimstone, but only a bunch of hot air. In other words they've concocted another reason for them to all fly off to some exotic destination, get stinking drunk and participate in a bunch of orgies on their taxpayers dimes. That's about the size of it as they're aiming basically to do a whole lot of nothing more than they're doing now.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Screw your freedom' remarks leads to a sponsorship loss Aha! the nazi in Mr. "I'll be Back" is starting to creep out and show! I'm sure he'll manage just fine even though he had a bunch of repercussions from this remark. Mr. Money Bags can probably live very comfortably on his wealth that he currently has, until he dies and then some.

A year and a half after Sweden decided not to lock down, its COVID-19 death rate is up to 10 times higher than its neighbors That's not good at all. I don't know what they think they accomplished from this if anything, but it looks like a dismal failure to me.

Federal health agency first in Canada to suspend COVID briefings during election Yeah, why'd we need to know how good or bad things were going during the election anyhow? It was enough just to know they were going, is all, apparently. In which direction is another story, but I guess they didn't want to tell us incase it was in the wrong direction and reflected on Mr. Genocidal Maniac and made him lose his tenuous minority gov't. Which he only regained with that waste of money he spent for an election. The power hungry monster, lost his bid for more power. Whoo Hoo! At least there's that. Too bad he didn't lose altogether.

German region plans tougher restrictions for unvaccinated 

HEARTBREAKING REALITY Medics reveal horror of ‘talking dead’ Covid patients who are awake but can’t survive without machines due to damage That's why those machines shouldn't be used. Because the people who come off of them rarely survive anyhow and all they're doing is prolonging the patient's misery. I know it gives the doctors and nurses in ICU units something to do and to complain about how over worked they are, but really those respirators are what's causing all that overwork and for nothing. Because the patient will inevitably die because of the damage being intubated normally does to a person's insides. So they're probably better off living or dying without being hooked up to those machines and let them either make it or not with the other medical treatments available other than those stupid machines. If they can't make it with the other medical treatments, then they aren't going to make it if they get put on a respirator, so tell them to make peace with the deity they believe in give their last words to their loved ones either via phone or facetime and let them go peacefully. 

Switzerland warns of terror attacks on Covid-19 vaccine sites Oh just peachy keen.... Something else for us to get worried about. But what are they going to strike first? The vaccine infrastructure like manufacturers and transportation hubs, or are they going to prefer hitting bigger targets like electrical infrastructures and water supplies? Seems to me those last 2 would afffect way way more people than the vaccination manufacturers since a lot of people in nations that have such facilities are already vaccinated.

Greek police use tear gas, water canon during Athens vaccine protest Greece the home of the democracy is using draconian authoritarian methods to quell dissent now eh? My my my how far we've slipped down the slippery slopes to power hungry dictatorships.... They should be ashamed of themselves. Wondering what Plato would think of them now?

Parts of the country are running out of oxygen supply as COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations soar

Hostile school board meetings have members calling it quits I've never seen so many contentious issues over one thing, as I've seen over this one virus. It's unbelievable the amount of issues contentious & otherwise this virus has generated.

Trudeau climate promises interrupted by angry crowd in Ontario People were finally coming out to protest against this moronic imbecile. He's one to talk about listening to science. If he listened to actual scientists on handling infectious diseases, he'd have never let this disease cross our borders and would've clamped down strict and hard on incoming travellers the moment we heard about this virus in the news. Nevermind, worrying about offending people. How many people do you think got offended when one of their loved ones contracted the virus? And how many others were even more offended to the point of livid rage maybe on account of the loved one dying from it? Oh but we mustn't offend any Chinese travellers, because gawd forbid.... Instead of listening to Tam the genocidal traitor, who wanted to let in as many Chinese people as she could possibly get into Canada before closing the borders and instead listened to any infectious disease specialist worth his degree, would've told the imbecile "you need to close the borders down now and as tight as possible until this plandemic is over with".  That would've been listening to science and not some genocidal beitche with an agenda, like Tam.

Trudeau says he won't back down after protesters hurl death threats, racist and sexist slurs Guess he thought if he didn't back down he'd have a majority in gov't now and could therefore identify all those people and arrest them and put them on the torture rack for the things they said and did and no one would be able to stop him from doing that either. Little clueless  wanna be dictator clown. 

O'Toole doesn't distance himself from candidate who warns of a 'climate lockdown' I wouldn't doubt it, except he won't call it a climate lockdown, instead it'll be some incredible tsunami wave of covid that's going to get us if we don't lockdown. Considering all the stories that came out last year about how clean the environment was and how nature was taking back the earth with wild animals wandering freely in the streets and the clean air etc. So in order to achieve that again, there may well be some gigantic scary boogey man strain of this virus (made up and hyped in the media as a real strain) to get us to stay home no matter how many booster shots and vaccines we've had. Even if we've had every vaccine and booster shot given we'll still be warned against venturing outside without 25 layered masks and the like and just for safe measure we'll need to be at least 100 feet away from everyone else. Ergo one person in the store at all times, so no personnel will be working there, just the guy outside who allows 1 client in at a time and they'll have to use automated cash registers and bag everything themselves. That's maybe what it's coming to. And everyone will have to work from home forever.

Angry crowds disrupt another Trudeau campaign event Good! It's about frigging time!

New Zealand reports first death following Pfizer vaccine shot 

Israel doubles down on booster shots as daily Covid cases set new record  

The World Is Still Short of Everything. Get Used to It. It's called work arounds or make your own. This is when people get creative and inventive, trying to find ways to attain that thing they so desperately want or need. So they try to find ways of making or fixing it themselves without the much needed item. Sometimes they're only temporary solutions but they work just long enough until the real thing can be had. And sometimes that's all that's needed. Other times they may be more permanent solutions like someone who wants a new livingroom set but can't get one in a timely fashion may just decide to reupholster the one they have - either have it done professionally or do it themselves. It's called making do and getting by, what my parents were brought up doing in the early part of the last century, especially during the depression era (and ingrained in me from a young age - they called it improvisation).

Unfinished Tractors, Pickup Trucks Pile Up as Components Run Short  

McDonald's, others consider closing indoor seating amid Delta surge in U.S. Consider closing? Geez there's restaurants around here that never reopened, but are still operating on take out and delivery only. One of the restaurant owners told me he's not reopening until the plandemic is 100% over with and he'll just do take out & delivery until then.

What Pfizer's scientists consider the 'biggest surprise' about their COVID-19 vaccine I'd have thought their biggest surprise would've been how lousy it was in comparison to Moderna's which is made using the same mRNA technology.

Fact check: FDA has fully approved Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine Fauci must be doing the happy dance all over his cubicle, rubbing his hands in anticipation of all the money he'll make now!

Ohio judge orders hospital to treat COVID patient with Ivermectin despite CDC warnings

Alberta government backbencher denies advocating for COVID case spike in unvaccinated This only goes to prove my theory that to be in government the only requirements is to be a braindead moron who's too stupid to think.

Vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization drops slightly, CDC says

Two top FDA officials in charge of Covid-19 vaccines to leave agency this fall Wondering why? Did they make enough money any bribes Fauci may have paid to be able to live off of for the rest of their lives or what? 

Doctor's orders: 'Nature prescriptions' see rise amid pandemic I can certainly understand, considering that when we moved here to this location it was a rural agricultural community, now there's more and more houses and cement around and now it's being classified as suburban rural. The agriculture has gone from the classifications. That's one of the reasons we want to sell and move. To find somewhere as beautiful, serene and pristine as it was here when we moved here 35 years ago.  I know there are a lot of places like that out there, as we've seen a few on the MLS.Ca site. If we could only get this place sold then maybe we could buy and move to one of those places and be at one with nature again. That would be awesome!

When COVID Deaths Are Dismissed Or Stigmatized, Grief Is Mixed With Shame And Anger 

Corporate America launches massive lobbying blitz to kill key parts of Democrats’ $3.5 trillion economic plan  Get this.... Companies like Pfizer and Astra Zeneca (the very same companies that relied on the US' gov't approval to be able to sell their vaccines out there in the world) are against this bill that would basically put more Americans on a more level footing with Canadians as far as medicare, and child care and social safety nets goes. They're against such things, because it'll raise their taxes. Maybe the US should remedey that problem by implementing a special tax just for them on each of the products that they sell, that can't be charged to the client and that they have to pay like overhead from their profit. Andddd now that they know Moderna is better than their covid vaccine placebos, drag their ashes at any more approvals on anything to do with those vaccines and make them wait and wait and wait some more until they give up and throw the dice in.

In Israel, Being Fully Vaccinated Now Means Three Shots  Yup, and that's probably only for the next 2-3 months until those start waning and then they'll need more shots and more shots forever and a year until the virus is either totally eradicated or the person dies, which ever comes first.

Homeschooling reaches critical mass Not here that's for sure.

'You should stay in the U.S.': U.S. ironically tells American travellers to 'reconsider travel' to Canada, despite soaring numbers This is just another example of how ignorant and clueless they are about other countries and the standing of other countries in certain things. Even one of their 2 border nations they're totally clueless about, especially when it comes to comparing case & vaccination numbers between the two nations. Anyhow I look at it this way, they're welcome to stay home and not come here. At least that way they won't be showing up at the border with their fake vaccination cards and viruses. Which will inevitably keep us Canadians safer. So essentially they're doing us a favour here.

Canada election: Trudeau slams protesters, says they're putting others at risk Euuuuuuuu you mother f'n idiot! YOU PUT US ALL AT RISK, WHEN YOU DIDN'T CLOSE THE BORDERS ON TIME!!!!!!! So you've got one helluva nerve to talk there ash hole!

Most vaccinated Americans want COVID-19 booster shots - Reuters/Ipsos poll If most of them got the Pfizer shot, most of them are going to be needing those boosters whether they want them or not.

Scientists studying immune response to new South African Covid variant 

Ontario reports 656 new COVID-19 cases, two-thirds in unvaccinated people So that means that there's almost 220 vaccinated people in those numbers. So it doesn't appear that the vaccines are working all that well. There should be almost no vaccinated people in those numbers if the vaccines were up to snuff. But they're not. In fact the Pfizer one is almost useless after a certain period of time and certain strains arrive on the scene.

Do vaccine mandates violate Canadians' charter rights?

Vaccines not enough to stop fourth wave of COVID-19 in Canada, experts warn Of course not, especially not, when we're using half baked vaccines in a half ashed fashion, where this person gets this vaccine which is the strongest, another one gets another vaccine that's not quite as strong and other gets what might pass off as water on some days. Those are all varying strengths of vaccines, but none of them use the same recipe. They all use different methods and recipes and they're all given out half ashed. So the virus has time to adapt to this vaccine at this dose and to that vaccine at that dosage and to those who aren't vaccinated and then to make the rounds again, only this time in different hosts than the original ones, so another vaccine and dosage to adapt to and on it goes. So it creates strain after strain and strength of strain after strength. Get your mother loving acts together and settle on one vaccine once and for all and hopefully it'll be the best and strongest of them all, aka Moderna and administer a first dose to EVERYONE ALL AT THE SAME TIME (or within as short a period of time as possible - in other words within a couple of weeks) and then AS PER THE MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDATIONS YOU ADMINISTER THE 2ND DOSE TO EVERYONE. That way there's one vaccine and one strength of it for all and there won't be a million different levels of and types of vaccinations out there for it to keep mutating and changing to defeat. There'll be one and a strong enough one that it'll have a helluva job trying to mutate to defeat. That's how it should be done and I'm pretty sure how every other major disease that we vaccinated against was done too. So stop dicking around and do it right once and for all and get it over with.

More than 200 people protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates outside Saskatoon hospital This should tell you something, when it was organized by the Canadian Frontline  Nurses. A national nurses union (no clue what that is because as far as I know all nurses unions are provincial, considering it's the provinces that hire and regulate them and their salaries as per the medicare agreements with the feds - the feds don't regulate anything when it comes to medicare as far as I know) disavowed that group apparently.

So don't get super worried over these hyperbolic predictions. They're just made in the name of the government and in the governments interests to keep you scared and compliant. That's mainly what they are.

Boat Rides, Chivalry, Dinner Dates & Lost Glasses, Wreath Making, New Computer, Last Weekend of Summer, Elections Amid Rampaging.....

 Covid 19

September 17, 2021
 
As you might've guessed by the title of this post, there's been a lot going on in our lives since I last posted. 
 
For one thing our son brought a brand new computer all set up with Windows 10 and all my favourite programs on it for me last weekend. His father, who is also my husband, bought the hardware and software for it, for me, and our son put it together for me. His father used to build, upgrade and repair computers once upon a time, but now he has a hard time with fine print (like the fine print found printed on circuit boards and chips) and so can't find certain things like jumpers and things like that. As for installing software, he never did. We, as in me, and our kids (when they were old enough and able to do so themselves) installed our own software on the computers we used. But our son figured since he had the parts to put together in usable form and the software too, he might as well do everything. I love it! I even got this funky neat beautiful keyboard - my husband set it up so it constantly segues from one colour to the next, through the entire rainbow. The reflection of which I can see in the black frame of the monitor, while I type. My husband one of the few chivalrous men I know of, actually lent me full time his computer for the entire year and a half I was without one of my own. I used that without a glitch, from before the time I started this blog, right up until my last post on it - which is literally the last post before this one that I'm currently writing.
 
Earlier this week my husband felt like taking me out to dinner at one of our favourite restaurants around here. So we went out and had a couple of drinks and I had a nice calamari dinner, while he had his favourite meal at that restaurant. When we left, he forgot his prescription reading/computer glasses on the table. But we didn't know that. He thought he left them on this table or in that pocket or in that catch all or on that bureau or desk, or wherever. Even in the car, under the car seats, in the shed, in the garage and everywhere else than the restaurant. I thought he left them at the restaurant, because I'd made a mental note that he finally took his reading glasses with him to the restaurant so he could read the menu himself and not ask me to read it to him, but he refused to accept that he might've forgotten them there and continued to look for them all over the place the next day, with no luck. Finally a day later he asked me to call the restaurant to see  if he left them there. The lady that answered said our waitress wasn't working that day and to call back the following day as she didn't know if she found/had the glasses or not and if she did, what she might've done with them. So I did. I called back the next day and our waitress answered the phone and said yes she had the glasses. So I said okay we'll be by later on to get them and she said okay she'll have them ready for us. 
 
But first I had to go for a boat ride with my friend. She has a boat and has been asking me all summer long to go for a ride in it with her and I kept saying it was too hot (because I can't take the heat), so yesterday she said the heat wasn't an excuse anymore, so do I want to go or not. So I agreed to go, because I have nothing against boat rides per se. I mean I am from Nova Scotia - a maritime province and lived literally within a 5 minute walking distance from the shore at one house and at the house where I was a toddler and basically grew up there, almost in the marsh. I mean high tide used to bring the water right up to the edge of our property (and my mother was always so terrified she'd lose me in it or in the marsh grass - which was in something akin to quick sand - but mucky and the grass was obviously taller than me - in fact taller than a lot of people when you come to think about it). So boats and water are my thing, just not in the glaring hot sun. Because if you know anything about QC weather and NS weather, it's much different. QC weather is super hot and humid and NS weather is generally foggy, & cool and even when it's sunny it's rarely ever hot and humid like it is here in the summertime. So since the conditions were ideal for a nice boat ride without risking being boiled alive in the boat, I agreed to go with her. 
 
But there was a matter of making down into the boat and back out of the boat to deal with too. 
 
See I had a dislocated knee for 4 years that I was forced to hobble around on, due to idiots and imbeciles masquerading as doctors in our area. In fact the so-called doctor that finally decided to send me to a specialist only did so at my exasperated request that he do so after he said he didn't know what to do about it. Then he sent me to another idiot in a lab coat that has the audacity to call himself an orthopedic specialist, but couldn't recognize a dislocated knee when he saw one and refused to  help me at all. He didn't even want to try to massage the knee back into joint (which is what they normally try first before resorting to other methods). So I asked if he could at least send me to see a physio therapist and he said flat out no, until my husband offered to dislocate both of his knees for him (when you see my husband in comparison to that little dweeb, you'd know he could do it too, no problem). Then he offered to give me 1 session of 10 minutes. The poor physio therapist didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw that. She threw her hands up in exasperation and said well there's not a lot of exercises I can show you in 10 minutes so I'll give you the 2-3 most important exercises so you can get your knee back in joint and be able to walk. So I can walk. If I wind up on the ground somehow, either by falling, or sitting, then I can't get up off the ground without help from someone or something (like something stationary - like a heavy chair, or a tree trunk or something that won't move when I grab a hold and pull on it).  

So you will understand after that digression, about the chivalrous men who helped me down into the boat and back out of it again. Getting into the boat was like a perilous walk down a steep slope peppered with slippery clay and large rocks with nothing but large boulders at the bottom of it all piled in a mish mash pattern on top of each other. Tilted hither and yon and half balanced in precarious angles atop another one balanced in the same fashion atop the one beneath and so on.... Just a wonder land for someone with limited range of motion in one leg and deteriorated hamstring muscles in both legs, because of the 4 initial years of not being able to use them and then all subsequent years of not being able to use them due to lack of physio therapy for that purpose after the 1st 4 years of not using them. So my friend's husband helped me down that treacherous slope to the wharf, where I was able to manage on my own after that. Poor guy, I had a death grip on his hand all the way down. It must've taken him an hour or more to get the blood circulation back in his hand again, after that.

After getting in the boat my friend took me on an awesome boat ride for a few hours. We visited the whole region by water and almost went near Montreal, but we were close enough to it, that if either of us had've had a camera with us we'd have had an awesome picture of some of the most recognizable buildings in Montreal and all of the downtown core. She invited me for another boat ride before she has to pull the boat out of the water for the winter (which will be soon, soon, soon, because the water is rapidly cooling off to the point where it'll be too cold for them to get into the water in order to pull the boat out), so maybe if I don't forget I'll bring my camera then and take pictures - maybe I'll even post one in the blog. You never know..... 

When we got back home, she docked at the neighbour's wharf to let me out there, but because of all the things in the way, I couldn't stand up straight to get out of the boat on my feet and I had to crawl out on my hands and knees. What a riot. I tried and tried and tried to get up on my own two feet, and the man who's the owner of that property (the one with the Wings of Victory statue) came to help. So with his help I got back on my feet again and then he's walking this tightrope kind of ledge beside me (on the rocky water side) until I asked him why he was walking there and he said so I don't fall, and I said if I do, he's going to go down along with me. So he said okay he'll get behind me and he stayed behind me until I was up safely in his driveway on flat ground again. 
 
I'm telling you anyone who says chivalry is dead, hasn't met our neighbours! 

So the next time I go for a boat ride with her, she's agreed to meet me at a public wharf that I can just walk out onto and get in her boat and when we return I can just stand up directly in the boat and step up onto the wharf. 

I just got into the house and my husband asked if we were going to go get his glasses at the restaurant and if I wanted to have a pizza at the restaurant with him. I said give me a few minutes to relax - as my legs were shaking and I had to catch my breathe (that was super hard work for me and even now I feel it in my hamstring muscles). So we went to the restaurant again and had the same waitress as before and he got his glasses back. 

In between all that time, I started working on making a heart shaped flower wreath (it's going to have more spring/summer kind of flowers in it then fall coloured flowers though so maybe it's a little late in the year for it, but what the heck we need colour and prettiness all year long, don't we?). It's coming along nicely. I still have more work to do on it though before I can hang it up in the front windows.  Ergo the craft items picture above. 

As it's the last weekend of summer, I guess it's getting to be about time we take the air conditioners out of the windows too, especially since it's forecast to be quite cool a few nights coming up this week.

Although we've already voted in the advance polls, Canada has an election coming up on Monday. I do have a preferred leader/party in mind to take over, but that's not likely to happen, even though I wish it would. It would be nice to have a leader/party in power that cared more for the population than they do businesses. But what the F, that's what this country was founded on, a business - Hudson's Bay Trading Company to be precise. Well isn't that why navies and militaries were invented? To protect the interests of the companies and traders and those looking for more valuable resources - once upon a time that was beaver pelts and spices, now it's evolved into things like oil and valuable minerals. But that's what countries have always seemed to value more than their own citizens lives and quality thereof. Well it would be nice for a change if the companies and business interests took a back seat to the interests of the actual citizens that live in those countries, instead. So I guess most Canadians who read this can already figure out who I'm for and against. But it doesn't matter who wins, so long as bozo brains doesn't win and that whoever does win, grabs him and throws him in a holding cell to await trial on all of his various crimes, starting with the biggest ones, genocide, senecide and treason, the crimes of embezzlement and whatever he did with SNC Lavelin are minor compared to those. So get him for those more serious ones first, and the others afterwards.

Now that my "journalling" aspect of this blog is finished, I guess I ought to get on with posting the headlines of this insanely rampaging virus, that only keeps getting worse and worse as more and more people get vaccinated against it. Just doesn't make any sense. Anyhow, get comfortable with your preferred beverage and dig in...

NYC, N.J. Mandate Teacher Shots; U.S. Deaths Climb: Virus Update They haven't done that here yet, but if they do our son will lose his job at teaching interior design. His wife is in danger of losing her job because she's a nurse and she doesn't want to get vaccinated either. I would hate to see them both become unemployed on account of protesting the vaccine. But they're pretty stubborn, so I don't know what's going to happen there in regards to her, as there IS a mandate that all health workers be vaccinated by a certain time in October. They've yet to institute a mandate for teachers too. 

 

P.E.I. releases back-to-school plan aiming for 'near-normal' year I wish them nothing but good luck with that plan.

 
Windsor council backs mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for city staff More people being forced into taking the vaccine, eh?

'We're continuing to watch': N.B. cities looking at vaccine mandate for employees This is what I don't get.... This piecemeal method of forcing everyone to get vaccinated. It's this piecemeal fashion of instituting the vaccines along with the plethora of vaccines that don't have the same efficacy rates, nor are made the same way or work the same way, and the different rates of vaccinations in society from fully vaccinated, to half vaccinated to not vaccinated at all, that's allowing this virus to continue making  the rounds and mutating as it does. Stop this motherf'n BS and get your stupid acts together and do it the right way once and for all would you braindead morons that are supposed to be running this country and the provinces????? Issue the SAME DOSAGE FROM THE SAME VACCINE TO EVERYONE ALL AT THE SAME TIME AND GET IT OVER WITH!!!!! Right now all the various types, dosages, methods used and levels of vaccination rates are all contributing to this freaking neverending mutating nightmare. So pull your socks up girls and boys and start acting like the authorities you're pretending to be and mandate vaccines for one and all using the SAME VACCINE to end this everloving nightmare, once and for all! Use the Moderna vaccine or what are they calling now? Spikevax is that it? Well use Spikevax, as it's the one with the highest efficacy rates and lasts the longest! So stop dicking around and do it!
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
Biden says key argument for vaccine hesitancy gone after full FDA approval of Pfizer COVID-19 shot Is that why it was given full approval? And not because it actually works to prevent the disease? Because as we all know now, it doesn't.

 
Alberta confirms 1,972 new COVID-19 cases, 5 deaths over 3 days Wow. They're doing good out there, aren't they!?!

 

The World Needs to Know What Happened at the Wuhan Lab I don't suppose we'll ever find out though. 


 
Delta cases show 300 times higher viral load - S.Korea study  Wow, if that's the case, no wonder it's spreading like wild fire and more people are getting sick from it, including the vaccinated. It's all of these half measures between vaccines, vaccinations and people that are causing this virus to continue to mutate into more and more virulent strains of itself.

 

Covid cases spike in S.D. after Sturgis bike rally  Did anyone really need a news story to tell them that this would happen? 

 
Delta Air Lines is raising health insurance premiums for unvaccinated employees by $200 a month to cover higher Covid costs I don't know.... But I can't see how employees are letting companies get away with things like this. It's one thing to mandate vaccines period and let the employee decide whether they want to continue working there or not on account of it, but to arbitrarily decide to give the employee a pay cut because they didn't get vaccinated and using the health insurance premiums as an excuse for the pay cut seems a little devious to me. What if the employee already has their own health insurance? What right would the airlines have to deduct that money from them in that case? Seems like companies and gov'ts make shiete  up to suit themselves the deeper into this plandemic we get.

Woman who coughed on market produce, claimed virus gets jail I've seen all sorts of craziness associated with this virus, but this one is in the top 10 of craziest.

 
Vietnam to pay recovered COVID-19 patients to help in hospitals  Sure, why not? If they need a job and want to do that, I don't see why they shouldn't. I'm sure the medical staff could use the extra help, if it's like everywhere else where this virus is rampaging nonstop.

 
SHELF SHORTAGE Christmas ‘could be cancelled’ as UK food shortage crisis hits supermarkets Nothing like sending consumers into a panicked buying spree is there? There's plenty of time between now and Christmas and things could change drastically by then, as I'm sure they will. 

Washington school is blasted for making student athletes wear ANKLE MONITORS so they can be alerted if another player tests positive for COVID Well it is known to be an incarernation, where they just love jailing people for eternity merely for stealing a hotdog and such. So they're just training these athletes how to wear ankle monitors and get used to them, because they'll probably wind up later with court imposed ankle monitors for things like stealing a bubble gum out of a bubble gum machine, or for something equally petty & silly. It's called habituating them to it, before they actually have to wear one later on in life.
 
 
 
 
Alberta Children’s Hospital to temporarily close 75% of operating rooms by Monday This is a children's hospital folks! So if you think it's not affecting young kids, take a look at this story and then think again!


 
Manitoba facing shortage of school bus drivers, thanks in part to pandemic Maybe they should use the same remedy Mass., USA, employed by requesting Cdn troops be sent to Man to drive school buses. 

 

 
 
 
B.C. government once again changes its pandemic policies in a matter of hours This made me mad when the morons here in QC changed their minds every few days.  Glad they didn't do it on this time scale of every few hours or I'd have wanted to string them up personally myself.
 
 
 

 
New York's new governor adds 12,000 COVID-19 deaths to state's previous tally Nothing like inflating the numbers if the current ones aren't working well enough to scare people into submission and compliance.

 
 
N.W.T. reports 1st COVID-19 death as outbreak hits remote communities  Even the remote sparsely populated northern communities aren't safe from this scourge circling the globe.

 
Here's how to download and set up Quebec's vaccine passport app  We didn't bother. We just printed the QR code out and bring it with us whenever we go out somewhere.

Travellers to Canada doubled after border reopened to Americans Which is probably where a good portion of our cases are coming from, considering all the hijinx they've been pulling with false proofs of vaccine and whatnot. I'm sure more than a few Americans used one of those fake proofs/passports to get into Canada undetected. 

 

 

Capitol riot lawyer who said he would never get vaccine has Covid and is on ventilator Lately it seems, or at least you'd think it's the case, that the only people winding up with Covid and on ventilators are those who swore they'd never get the vaccine - as that seems to be the only people the media are focusing on. They aren't focusing very much on those who got at least one shot or even both shots of the vaccine and still got Covid and put in the ICU & on ventilators no, only those who swore they'd never get vaccinated. Not the ones who didn't swear not to get vaccinated, but just haven't gotten around to doing yet. Not those people - they apparently aren't getting it, only the ones who swore they'd never get vaccinated are getting it apparently. Or at least that's the impression I'm getting from all the various news stories out there now.
 
 
 
Bombshell Study Finds Natural Immunity Superior to Vaccination That's normally  the way. So I don't know why this is so surprising. Unless the people comprising the medical community now a days have never seen anyone with natural immunity against anything as the only thing they're familiar with are the man-made vaccines against everything. 

 

Trudeau Deploys Vaccine Mandates as Wedge Issue in Canada’s Election He's an ash hole and I wouldn't pay him any mind about anything. Here's hoping his lieberals are decimated to the person so that there isn't even 1 representative left of theirs in the house of commons after Monday's election.

Britons turn critical of government's pandemic response Cdns should also turn critical of the gov'ts response to the plandemic from the get go, but given how mind numbingly "forgiving" the Canadian sheeple are (except when it's someone they see walking a half a centimeter too close to someone else - then they have no compunctions about hitting speed dial on 911 to report them to the cops so those law breakers can get a hefty fine) on things like genecide, senocide, treason, embezzlement, in cahoots with large companies like SNC Lavelin and the like. They apparently have no problem with those sorts of crimes - they can not only tolerate but forgive those apparently, much, much easier than they can forgive their neighbour walking a half a centimeter too close to someone else - that is apparently an unforgivable crime and must be punished to the full extent of the law. That's what I call sanctimonious hypocritical moronic imbecilic sheeple. Aka the Canadian majority.

4,811 recovered Israeli COVID patients got reinfected — TV  There just doesn't seem to be any winning against this virus at all.

 

How long does COVID-19 take to spread through one household? Not long at all, I imagine. As any mother can tell you, when one kid catches a cold or a bug, it's not long before the other kids have it too and sometimes the parents as well. It doesn't take a study like this to know viruses spread rapidly in families - who hug, kiss, share food and drinks with each other. 

 
Catching COVID-19 during pregnancy could make unborn children more prone to diseases Before expectant moms start to panic, you do see the word "could" in there, do you not? If so, you do realize that that's not a definite word like "will", it's merely a possibility, which means there's also a good possibility as well that this doesn't apply to your kid and they won't be more prone to diseases.

 
New York Daily News Study: One-third of Americans were infected with COVID by December 2020   That's a huge amount of people - at least 100 million people if not more. Wondering if the same ratio of people in Canada were also infected before December 2020? 

UN asks N Korea to clarify alleged shoot-on-sight orders Personally I can't even imagine why anyone would want to sneak INTO North Korea.... That person has to be totally insane if you ask me and well having them removed from the gene pool by shooting them is probably a good idea, I think.

 
Liberals will hike supplementary pensions for low-income seniors, Trudeau says  Euuu goody, yippie kiyay!!!!! We ought to be rolling in megabucks then people! Considering he gives the same amount per kid per month that he's proposing to give annually to seniors. Euuuuu goodie goodie, we might be able to afford a donut at Tim Horton's to go with that pukey crap they call coffee on our once a month outing to treat ourselves. Wow.... Let's see what that boils down to extra per month for a single senior is $41.666666 (do all those 6s mean something here?) eu goody, goody, gumdrops that ought to really help out buying an extra teabag or two. And if you're 1/2 of the couple you as an individual will get an extra $31.25 a month as will your partner for a total of $62.50 for the two of  you. Yeah.... Rolling in the dough now, that's for sure! NOT!  YOU MISERLY INBRED ASH HOLE!!!!! You probably spend that in one morning on breakfast just for your ugly ashed self and that's when you're slumming it. So F off and drop dead you stingy ashed miserable miser! Another reason to vote that moron out of office because he seems to think those piddly amounts of money will be of any use to anyone. Maybe to a 5 year old that likes bubble gum and what used to be penny candy but is now 25 cents a piece candy. I mean it's comparable probably to the monthly allowance a parent would give a 5 year old for being a good kid and picking their toys up everynight before going to bed.

 
Officials investigate possible breach into Quebec politicians' COVID-19 passport Just goes to show how "secure" those things are. Now imagine they start being used for more and more things and includes more and more personal information on them....

Refusal to be vaccinated: Dube brandishes threat of a break in services They'll probably lose a lot of personnel if they push this vaccination bit too hard. They did in the US, so it could happen here too.

 
 
 
Researchers Ready Lab-Grown Covid-19 Delta Variant for Human Trials  Oh wonderful, yet another strain of this hideous virus that will somehow manage to escape it's confines and wind up on the outside to spread hither and yon, as if the strain we already have isn't enough they need to make a new one.

Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine task force is being disbanded Great idea! Disband it now, now that things are worse than ever!

 

 
Trudeau campaign rally cancelled over security concerns amid protests hehehehehe.... Whoo Hoo! Finally some of the sheeple have found their courage and removed the blinders from their eyes! Lets hope more manage to do the same before they cast their ballots on Monday!

 

 
New drug may be a cure for both COVID-19 and herpes That would be awesome, especially if it also provided or helped to provide immunity against future covid infections.

COVID-19 variants significantly reduce protection of vaccines, prior infection Definitely not very good news, especially for those who are vaccinated.

 

 

 

Biden slams China as new report on Covid-19 origins is released  I betcha they'd be able to find out if they asked someone at Gilead Sciences, or maybe Bill Gates & Karl Schwab of the WEF. I bet they all know, but they won't say because that would implicate them too!

 

White House Releases Declassified COVID-19 Origin Intelligence Report For those who might be interested in downloading and reading it, it can be found here: Unclassified Summary of Assessment on COVID-19 Origins
 

 

 

COVID vaccine protection wanes within six months - UK researchers They're only talking about Pfizer and Astrazeneca here though. I wonder if it's the same thing for Moderna vaccinations?
 
This just in: Big gap between Pfizer, Moderna vaccines seen for preventing COVID hospitalizations  So we need wonder no more. Moderna is clearly the best hands down!

Anyhow.... As I have as many headlines, if not tons more than what I posted here still in my bookmark file, it's silly to think I'll get through them all tonight and given that it's already 4:30 am, it's highly doubtful.

So until I decide to tackle those headlines and any future headlines take care and stay safe.
