Nov 5, 2020
It's a beautiful 19 C degree day outside. Warm by November standards here in QC and we're set for a few more warm days just like this one. Whoo Hoo! Just the right temp for me, I wish it was around 19 - 21 C all year long! But unfortunately here in QC, we get maybe a couple of days like that in spring and then another couple in autumn but for the most part it's either boiling or freezing around here. It's rare that we have mild temperature days like today.
So I took the opportunity to do what I still had to do before the cold weather and snow set in previously, and went out to cut back the raspberry & blackberry bushes. I was also going to cut down the brussels sprouts plants I had and I noticed they were growing tiny brussels sprouts on them. So as we have another week of good weather I'll leave them there and see if they get any bigger. If they do, that'll be awesome! My chives, and kale are still growing too despite all the cold weather (it's been down to -5C at night here) and snow (we had a centimeter or two earlier this week). I knew kale was a cold weather crop but I had no idea it could survive temperatures that low. The strawberry plants look viable too but they don't have any berries on them, but the leaves and flowers look just as chipper and perky as if it was mid-summer out there still. Not bad for the 5th of November in our area. Lots of years, we'd have had a couple of inches (not centimeters) of snow on the ground by now and it would stay and not melt because it would stay cold.
Other than that, I've been spending time petting and cuddling our dog, because she knows things are different (like she's really restricted in the places she can go and things she can do now - not because of her physical restrictions, but because they're imposed on her to stop her from injuring herself more) and she's bewildered and I guess feeling a little insecure because of it. I don't mind though, cuddling and petting her is as good for me as it is for her. I get my zootherapy that way. đ¶ It does wonders for the stress and blood pressure.
So now that it's lowered somewhat and I'm feeling less stressed, I'll try to elevate it again by blowing a few fuses over the following headlines I'm about to post:
Feds unveil plan to get coronavirus shots to nursing homes Those who are in or have relatives in Canadian nursing homes don't get too excited over this announcement because it's for the US.
Yeah we need to further reduce our contacts, when we're limited to our household family members. So how are we supposed to do that? Throw a family member out? Get a divorce? What? Dimwits R Us run this country now.
Wow! Just wow! The sickness and depravity that some people have. I hope that pedophile gets a nice long time behind bars for doing something as brazen as that in front of a teacher and other kids online. Wow....
Tobacco Plants Contribute Key Ingredient For COVID-19 Vaccine It would be wonderful if it included nicotine in it and that was felt for as long as the vaccine was working. Kind of an indicator as to how long the benefits of that vaccine lasts. It might also reduce smoking as smokers would no longer have to smoke in order to get the nicotine their bodies crave. I haven't smoked for 11 years now, but every now and then the urge crosses my mind to take it up again. Sometimes it's a hard urge to resist too, but then I remember what I went through to quit (as I went cold turkey with no patches, pills, gums or injections to help). So that's what stops me from taking it up again but if I had've quit the easy way with all those medical aids, maybe taking it up again wouldn't bother me as I'd just re-rely on those medical aids to quit the next time I wanted to.
How are they going to know what the 2 tier couples are doing in one of their homes together? Do they have monitoring devices installed by the government in everyone's homes in every room including the bedrooms and bathrooms? If not, how's the government going to know what they were doing together? I mean the gov'ts are just going over the top draconian now banning things one can do in the privacy of one's own homes, without anyway to monitor, or police such activities. That's just over the top insanely stupid. And all the monies siphoned off the taxpayers for the legislative sessions required to come up with that insanely stupid law, should be reimbursed to the taxpayers. Sometimes I think legislaters have run out of ideas for laws and so they come up with over the top insane laws that can't be enforced even though they've been enacted. I think they do that just to give themselves something to do to make it seem like they're working, in order to get paid. That's all. It's a legislaters form of "busy work" - you know like sweeping the floor in other companies would be - just something to make an idle employee do until the work bell rings. Wondering though if they're allowed to have sex outside?
Like I keep telling you, watch out for the operative words in these stories like "could" which doesn't necessarily mean it "will", it just means there's a possibility of it happening, but that word is a trigger word to keep everyone scared and compliant. So just remember that when you see headlines like that in the future and take it with a grain of salt.
Really? When they didn't want to close the borders to the US and wanted to continue to let the virus in and Pence had to order the borders closed instead of them???? And when they decided to bury all the covid cases as flu cases in early January as the head honcho at the CDC testified to in a meeting at congress? And who also ordered all the hospitals to mark all deaths as being covid related in order to cut down on time doing autopsies? And they're the ones that's going to criticize the gov't on how the gov't handled it???? Really???? Isn't that worse than the kettle calling the pot black in this case?????? Seriously, the CDC is as bad as or even worse than the US gov't was at handling this. Probably on purpose too, because I can't see how they could figure out how to manage and contain Ebola outbreaks in Africa but couldn't figure out how manage and curtail this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lying hypocritical ahems!
Food delivery apps cut some restaurant fees amid surging demand due to COVID-19 All the restaurants I've ever heard of all have their own delivery service with people employed by the restaurant itself just for that purpose and so far as I know always have had. Every single restaurant in the area, from Dominos and Chinese restaurants, the Indian restaurant, the everyday "family restaurants", the pizza restaurants, chicken restaurants like St. Hubert BBQ & KFC, all of them deliver and always have. The few who don't probably are small startups with hardly any clients because they're not well known or are the snoity types that thinks everyone should want to pay $20 for their soup du jour, when most people are thinking $20 or thereabouts would be a reasonable price for a whole meal and not just the soup. Those are the types of restaurants around here that rely on those services and since I don't frequent those types of restaurants at all, not even for celebrations, I'm not familiar with their food and thus whether it's worth the price or not, so simply don't bother with them at all.
Speaking of which - the following is an article from CTV Montreal today:
Leaked report from Montreal public health urges reopening gyms, libraries and museums You will note that the PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS OF MONTREAL has recommended these measures - to work in public health you are generally speaking supposed to hold a degree as some form of health practitioner - ergo these are doctors and maybe nurses too recommending this, but what does the pencil pushing pinhead that masquerades as a health minister have to say about that? This is what the miserable moron says about that: "We have not yet come to a place where we're comfortable, at the level
where we should be," Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé said at the
daily press conference on Thursday, when asked about tweaking COVID-19
restrictions. You've seriously got to wonder what qualifies someone like this:
Christian DubĂ© has had a brilliant career in finance in some of Canada’s
largest businesses and was MNA for LĂ©vis from 2012 to 2014, before
becoming until very recently senior vice-president at the Caisse de
dépÎt et placement du Québec. This highly competent administrator known
for his mastery of public finance issues completes the CAQ economic
brigade with the goal of transforming the government of Québec into a
well-managed, efficient and effective organization.
What qualifies a pencil neck like that to 1) be Health Minister of anything anywhere and 2) contradict actual medical doctors??????????????????
I wanted that little article from today's news November 5th in here to demonstrate that most of what's going on is purely political and has SFA to do with the actual disease itself, when DOCTORS are recommending they loosen their grip on the population and let people out to enjoy themselves and it's the ash holes who are purely number crunchers who are locking people up and tightening their grip on them instead!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? IT HAS LITTLE TO NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE PANDEMIC ANYMORE, IT'S PURELY 100% POLITICALLY MOTIVATED ALL THESE LOCKDOWNS & DEPRIVATIONS WE'VE BEEN FORCED TO ENDURE!!!!! I hope you can finally see and understand what's happening in the name of this pandemic. I'm not quite sure why they want us continually locked up and separated - probably to make it easier for them to find and handle us once their plans are finished being made as to how to force us to do something they know we won't want to do, whatever that might be could be anything from taking the vaccine to winding up going to a gulag style camp as forced labour for all I know....
A freaking Mazing they got a green light. Aren't they afraid that the people in the ski lifts will sit too close together? Or maybe there'll be a big pile up of fallen skiers near a tree? Or maybe too many huddled together by the fire in the ski chalet? Or did they get the green light because one of the biggest resort areas in QC is Mont Tremblant and they are worth billions and maybe someone there greased a gov't palm or two to be allowed to open? Just wondering how come it's not too dangerous to ski when it's too dangerous to swim and probably skate too, and for sure play hockey.
Quebec forum discussing the work shortage and unemployment rise paradox during the COVID-19 pandemic
Paradox???? What paradox? You can have a work shortage in a certain field while there's tons of unemployed, because not all those unemployed people might be qualified to work in that particular field. Like unemployed golf grounds keepers are definitely not qualified to be nurses or doctors, or unemployed road repair crews aren't qualified to be architects or structural engineers. I mean even the dumbest of the dumb at that forum must be able to figure that out on their own. Hey I have an idea for all the unemployed workers, take them and assign them as the head health officials of various villages and what not.... I mean it seems that qualifications for that job doesn't matter when we have an accountant as our provincial health minister and for the federal health minister she's an art teacher. Most other provinces also have number crunchers and pencil pushers as their health ministers too. Only a few provinces have actual doctors and I think those are BC, AL & Nfld. The rest rely on totally unqualified idiots to masquerade as health ministers. So we can do that with the unemployed here in QC, assign them as the head health honcho of all the villages and hamlets across the province.
Coronavirus: Insurance claim for $6,000 cancelled trip denied after airline offers woman voucher Maybe from now on, we should pay our insurance companies using Cdn Tire Money, grocery coupons and AirMiles instead of cash. Wondering if they'd accept those forms of payment in lieu of actual good ole Cdn currency? It's doubtful because they can't pay their bills using those forms of payment. Nor can that woman buy her groceries, pay her rent/mortgage or other bills using an airline voucher. She paid money for the trip so she should get money back. PERIOD. END OF FREAKING STORY. And any insurance company that doesn't agree with that statement should then agree to accept any form of voucher valid in Canada or even gift cards to certain stores like Walmart's or the Dollar Store as payment too. Hey if it's good for the goose it should be good for the gander as well. Big companies like Insurance Companies and Airlines have been bending the rules and laws to suit themselves far too often now, as far as I'm concerned. Whatever laws that apply to the rest of us, should also apply to them as well. Meaning if I'm forced to pay back a debt in the same form of payment I took for a cancelled service - say I accepted a debit card payment, so by law I have to pay it back as a debit card payment to the same account the original payment came from (all stores have to do that) or pay back cash because it was paid for in cash, then I don't see why Airlines can get away with something else and Insurance Companies can back up the airlines "right" to do that, when no one else in Canada can.
Well not even that apparently according to a story I heard on the news tonight, where they said if one family member has it, that by the time they find out they have it (as there's an incubation period before symptoms show), the rest of the family has it too. So empathy or not, if someone in your family has it, you do too. Your symptoms will be manifesting themselves shortly.
Global coronavirus rise by one-day record of 400,000 While that looks like a staggering number you have to keep in mind that that's only a tiny fraction of the entire global population - that being close to 8 billion. So again another scary looking number to keep you scared and compliant.
Oh yes, jolly blowhard, trying to make it rain money again as if there were no limits on the amounts of money he can throw at people to try to make people like him and so he can keep his job.
Is Pandemic Unity Between Ottawa And The Provinces Starting To Slip? (Analysis) Unity???? You mean there was actually unity between them at some point???? Because I never noticed. At least not here in QC, where Legault and Ford were the first ones to actually act and do something to try to prevent the spread of it, while bozo brains, Damn & Haggy Doodoo sat on their hands and twiddled their thumbs. THEY ONLY STARTED ACTING AFTER LEGAULT & FORD DID!!!!! I probably have the stories linked in this blog somewhere as I'm sure the blog started on or near then.
You know I don't know who cares about those 2 but in case someone does, here you go...
When I see headlines like this I always wonder if it's only on the packaging on the outside and not on the contents inside as well? I mean if someone at the processing and packaging plant had coronavirus isn't it safe to assume that the people that handled the contents were infected with the virus as well? Then my mind wanders on to, well if it's on that could it be on plain paper box and tin can packaging and maybe on fresh produce in the produce section - as that's pretty much left in the open for everyone to paw over and cough and sneeze on.... Then I just stop wondering because it's driving me crazy when I realize that no matter what, we have to eat, and unless we can grow and or hunt and fish for all our own food, we're going to have to contend with supermarket food and possibly being contaminated with the virus. I mean there's no other choice for most if not all of us - except the native populations who still have aboriginal hunting and fishing rights and if they have a yard where they can plant a garden and raise chickens, they're all set.
When I see stories like this, I always wonder how many hospitals Pegleg Lucien closed down when he was premier? Were there any hospitals in those regions that he closed down? If so, and they weren't replaced with another equal capacity at least hospital (and that's doubtful because so far as I know the only place in the province where a new hospital was built was in Montreal - the super hospital), then no wonder they don't have the capacity. Couple that with intervening decades and probably corresponding population growth for those regions, well ummmm duhhh.... Build new hospitals to acommodate more people, it's as simple as that. (Which I know in this bureaucratic nightmare tied up with miles of red tape gov't we have, that could still take at least another half a century to accomplish - a hospital was promised for our region over 40 years ago and they still haven't started on it yet).
Nothing like using this plandemic to become a police state, is there?
Covid reinfections 'to be expected' as virus spreads, say government scientists Maybe so, but I think they'll be pretty rare, given the very few times we've heard of any cases like that. I think maybe in total there's been 3-5 cases like that world wide, that I'm aware of and considering there's been over 40 million cases of it in the world so far, 3-5 is a drop in the bucket. So again something else to try to panic and scare you with. So don't worry about it.
Hundreds queue in Yiwu, China for experimental Covid-19 vaccine Wondering if that's the vaccine they stole from us???? If it is, I hope it's useless - as effective as shooting water into their veins for protection against the virus. It'll serve them right.
Who will care if things keep going the way they are now, by then, everyone will have had the virus and acquired their immunity naturally. So we won't need those pie in the sky vaccines anymore.
Yeah, I keep forgetting to buy rolling paper and I'm tired of baking so brownies is out of the question for the moment.
Schoolgirl awarded $25,000 for developing potential Covid-19 treatment We need more 14 year olds like her in the world! The kid sounds like she's a genius! I'm glad she won the award, she deserves it!
Eight passengers test positive for COVID-19 on Costa Cruises ship Here we go again.... I guess some people never learn, not even the hard way....
Scientists worry as more Americans say they’ll refuse COVID-19 vaccine Well they should've made sure that Gates kept his big ugly mug out of the picture altogether and then maybe more people would trust the vaccine.
THIRD WAVE????? Even Anthony Fauci said they weren't in a second wave yet, that it's merely a large resurgence of the first wave, so how and when did they manage to skip right over a second wave altogether into 3rd one???? I swear to gawd, some journalists make sheite up out of thin air and then try to pass it off as news. No wonder there's a huge bruhaha about "fake news". If there is such a thing, this article is a perfect example of that, either that or just an idiotic blowhard trying to pretend to be a journalist.
Toronto voters will be kept safe as possible during byelections amid COVID-19, Elections Canada says
Of course this pencil neck who's never set foot in one of those homes, probably not even to visit aging relatives, knows more than the nurses who are into the aches, pains, viruses and bacteria in these homes up to their eyeballs on a fulltime daily basis.
Oh huge surprise here!
They were already saying on the 17th that some of those restrictions would last beyond the 28 day period, not even waiting to see how things went.
So it's okay to let kideny transplant patients die, but not the COVID19 patients? What difference does it make? A patient is a patient and all should be treated equally rather than making one patient take a backseat for another one. It's not fair at all.
Coronavirus Pandemic Putting Damper on Holiday Shopping Season As I said before I refuse to contribute to the economic machinery by doing any shopping. I'll make some stuff to give to family, friends & neighbours and give money but I'm not buying a damned thing. I'm sick of seeing people being valued only for keeping the economic machine running and not for themselves, by only allowing them to work but not to enjoy their lives, outside of work and not everyone enjoys their work. So for those people life has become a drudgery that maybe a lot of them don't care if they keep waking up day after day to face it or not anymore as they have nothing else to look forward to other than that.
On that note, I'm finished for the night... Until next time take care & stay well.
