Injured Dog, House Offers, Birthday Celebrations, Heat Waves & Inundated Bookmark File With Headlines About....

 Covid 19

August 25, 2021

As the post title suggests there's been a lot going on, not only in our lives, but on the Covid scene as well,  since I last posted in here, which was only 10 days ago. 

For those who think my posting here will be incongruent to the subject at hand (Covid19), I will inform first time readers or remind repeat visitors, that this isn't only a blog about Covid 19, it's also a personal journal of sorts, of how we lived our personal lives during the plandemic. Ergo, the detailing of things such as mentioned in the header here.

Almost all of the things mentioned in the header, happened simultaneously, such as the ongoing heatwave, that started in the middle of last week and is ongoing today and into tomorrow too apparently. All of the daytime highs have been above 30C with the humidex running close to or above 40C. The nighttime lows are still 20C and above with humidex readings in the 30Cs, so very uncomfortable. It's a lot like being boiled or poached alive, without air conditioners to maintain a livable interior environment. Apparently we have today and tomorrow to suffer through and then the temperatures are forecast to take a nosedive to below normal temperatures by the end of next week according to the Weather Network. 

So because I am super susceptible to such conditions, I try to remain inside as much as possible. So that means I will be posting whatever headlines I can manage to get through, today and tomorrow on my blog - in 2 separate posts.

Besides I have to stay inside near our injured furry friend, to watch over and take care of her. She injured her back last week around the time the heat wave started and we had to take her to the vet, who gave us some medicines to give to her. Since she's been on the medicine, she's shown a drastic improvement but she doesn't want to sit still, like the vet recommended. Instead, she's following us around everywhere, wanting to play although rather feebily, and basically trying to act like she's back to normal again, which she shouldn't be doing. I honestly don't know how to make her just take it easy. I don't want to be yelling at her for doing things she'd normally be doing if she wasn't injured because then she'll get it in her head that she's not allowed to do those things at all, afterwards. And that's not right. So.... I'm left with talking softly to her and petting her as a way of making her slow down - she loves being petted, so as long as someone is willing to pet her, she'll stand there and let them.  So that's one way I've found, but I can't be bent over or leaned over the arm of the chair all day long in order to pet her.  Now she's found a toy to play with on her own (which she shouldn't be doing either). So.... 

We've also had a few offers on the house and we've either refused them or given counter offers, which I guess were refused because we never heard back from them. But we want what we want and unless we get that amount we're staying here and when the neighbours from hell move into the monstrosities that they're building, we'll sue them for the damages on our tree and encroachments on our property. That's where that stands at the moment. 
 
But I seriously want to move whether they occupy those monstrosities or not, as the whole ambience of the neighbourhood has changed with the addition of those 2 buildings and all the other newer ones that've been erected in the place of the older demolished buildings that stood on those lots before.  One of those lots, the house is close to sliding off into the water. 
 
The city building inspector around here, knows as much about the building code as our dog does from what I can tell. She doesn't know about nor uphold any building code or safety building code by laws at all. In fact I had to stick them on her nose as she's so ignorant of them, she actually told me that those laws don't exist and if they do they only apply to the rest of Canada and not Quebec, but I found them in the Quebec building codes by laws too and sent them to her. Then she stopped arguing with me, but still refused to enforce them. Guess she got her palms greased pretty good somewhere along the line. Maybe the Charbonneau Commission's investigation squad ought to look into her and her doings or lack thereof and whys and wherefores of such. The laws apparently only apply to some people around here but not others - the special privileged others, I guess. The ones who grease palms well, probably.

Then, we celebrated my husband's birthday this past weekend. Our son wanted to take him out to a nice steak house restaurant for his birthday dinner, and he made reservations in order to do so. The day came and we got ready to go, but we couldn't find my husband's wallet anywhere (where his driver's license, car insurance papers and registration is). We looked high and low, in, around, and under everything - wherever we thought it could possibly be, including in the shed and in the garage and under the car, under the car seats, in the trunk of the car, under the beds, under the couch, behind the dishwasher, on all the tables, desks, and other flat surfaces where things are sometimes dropped upon entry to the house etc... Nope it wasn't anywhere. So we called our son and we told him that. 
 
So he, his wife and his best friend decided to bring the party here. His best friend works as a cook at "The Keg", so he helped them choose the steaks that they bought to bring here. They brought the steaks, the salads, the drinks and everything except the macaroni salad that I made while on the phone with the insurance company who I called because of my husband's supposedly lost wallet, about identity theft (as we have insurance against that - which reminds me I may have to call them back to tell them the wallet was found). 
 
Anyhow his friend "took orders" for how we wanted our steaks done and went outside and cooked them on the BBQ and brought them in and gave them out according to "our order" (like at a restaurant except he kept the orders in his head and not on a bill pad).  Then everyone came to the table to eat and when our son pulled out his chair to sit down he picked up something and put it on the table and said "is this what you were looking for?". It was his father's wallet that had fallen out of a pocket or off the table onto a chair that we don't use ourselves when sitting at the table and is only used when someone else comes in and wants to sit there. 
 
But in the end it worked out the way it was supposed to as we all had a way better meal (I think) than he would've been able to afford at that restaurant (because from what I saw of their menu online everything was pretty pricey there), we had copious amounts of various kinds of drinks, from wine, including dandelion wine that I made before, and beer to spirits etc to drink, more salads and garlic bread then we could possibly eat, along with the steaks.  Infact they divvied up the salads and remainders of the untouched food between themselves to take home, including the macaroni salad I made. The Keg's cook, actually complimented me on it and asked me if I minded if he took some home for himself.  So imagine that, a compliment from a popular restaurant's cook. 😊 Plus they raided the freezer for my pot cookies I made and froze.
 
We were able to talk and laugh as loud as we wanted without disturbing other people. We didn't have to watch what we were saying or how we said it (you know polite conversation without any cussing or obsceneities). We were relaxed, enjoying ourselves and just having outright fun, at a fraction of what the restaurant meal would've cost him. He said he was glad it worked out like that actually, that he had way more fun than we would've had at a restaurant. 

His best friend is a friend he made in his first year at high school and they've been best buddies ever since - even though both are in their 30s now and his best friend is sporting several grey hairs in his beard already. Wow. Makes me feel old, when I see that on one of them. So he's well acquainted with this house and our property, but his mind was blown away when he came and saw the huge statue of Wings of Victory across the street, the 2 monstrosities being built on top of us AND what those self entitled, self absorbed ash holes did to our tree. He just couldn't believe it. He said we should give them something to look at, that we should erect a 6 foot high fence (maximum fence height allowed by the city) and plaster it all along with giant posters of my face, but giving them the middle finger on their side of the fence. That way they wouldn't see anything except that. hehehe.... 
 
I actually like his idea and if I could afford to make huge posters like that and shellac them in some kind of waterproof, paint proof, medium I would do some fancy decoupage such as that on a fence like that. hehehe.... That would actually be awesome and hilarious, especially since they've got their deck stairs coming down facing our property - about 3 feet from the property line. They'd be coming down facing that with it literally being in their face, when they did. hehehe...  
 
Maybe some blog readers wish to contribute to such an art project?  💰💰💰 Not sure how much that would all cost with the lumber, labour (to erect the fence), art supplies, the all liquid proof clear shellac kind of medium and huge posters to cover that size of fence (they'd have to be repeated many times along the side the fence from front to back). Not even sure if such a medium even exists, but I'd hazard a guess and say yes, that some military or scientific endeavour has had need for such a thing sometime in the past and so it was created. Just not sure what it would be called though. Nor where to get it, doubt that it would be sold at Michael's or Omar Des Serres as a decoupage medium, or even Rona or Canadian Tire as some form of funky outdoor protector cover for wood or metal.  Anywho.... 
 
On with the bazillions of headlines that've accumulated in the last 10 days since I last posted in here....  
 
COVID likely to lock India’s women out of job market for years That won't be very good for their overall economic growth, either as a family or as a nation. If fewer people are earning money there will be less money to go around and spend on non-essentials. So slower economic growth overall. 

Delta variant bears down on China just as its economy loses steam Whoo Hoo! They're being hit with a double whammy! Kind of like the medicine they've been dishing out to Canada all these years. Finally they're getting a taste of their own medicine but from higher forces than Canada - that's for sure. Hope it continues piling on.

Time for Covidnomics Well that's a new term. Wondering if it'll make it into this year's words in the dictionary? Though it is a very fitting term.

Guards vow to 'shut the border down' as tensions soar during Toronto Pearson Airport protest Too bad they settled instead of shutting it down. I was hoping they would shut it down at least until the US reciprocated by allowing Canadians to cross their borders into their germ ridden country.
 
New investors are jumping into the market during the post-pandemic boom  "Post-pandemic" boom???? Where? In which country is this stock market, because all the countries I know of are now experiencing a 4th wave if you read, listen to or watch the news at all, you'd have heard about that, I think. So you'd think or at least I do, that a news reporter above everyone else, would KNOW that there's nothing "post" about this plandemic, at least not yet. 

Walmart, largest US employer, orders staff to vaccinate And so it begins, slowly, subtly but surely, they (the powers that be - gov'ts, heads of corporations, the wussy scaredy cat bar & restaurant owners, etc...) will find a way to coerse everyone into getting a vaccination, even though they've been proven to be little better than being injected with water, in their effectiveness against the Delta variant and probably as good as nothing at all against the Lambda and all future variants. But yeah, hey, let's all enforce these useless vaccines because that's what Fauci wants - because Fauci actually has shares in Pfizer, so of course he wants everyone to be vaccinated a bazillion times each, if he could figure out a way to make the medical establishment buy that need. Who knows maybe by now he's the one behind all these variants that are getting let loose, just so he can keep proposing more and more Pfizer booster shots to everyone. I mean, that theory is as good as it just automagically mutating every 5 seconds. 

Resurgence of coronavirus sends chill through hot summer tourism market Resurgence????? How can something that never completely went away have a resurgence? In order for these "resurgences" to come to an end we have to eradicate this virus COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE VERY LAST CASE OF IT - LIKE WAS DONE WITH THE SMALLPOX VIRUS! Or we'll just keep having resurgence after resurgence forever and a year.

 
Covid-19: The mystery of rising infections in India's Kerala It seems to me that it's not only there that the infections are rising mysteriously. It seems to be happening around the globe.


Those on ideological right favor fewer COVID-19 restrictions in most advanced economies Hmmm wondering why that could be???? Could it be that the right view it as a plot by the left to kind of use these restrictions as a means of starting to enact those restrictions permanently and thus kind of start a communist dictatorship kind of regime? Ohhhhh nooooooo silly me..... That can't be, the left would never go to that extreme because after all they're supposed to be for everyone's rights and not against them. But excuse me for a second there.... Aren't communist and socialists extreme leftists????? Seems to me they are. So you wonder why the ideological rightists are kind of against those restrictions???? If you have to wonder about that, you're not the brightest crayon in the box, lemme tell you. 
 
Health experts fear unlocked England could become an incubator for new Covid variants Not just England but everywhere, UNTIL OR UNLESS A VACCINE THAT COMPLETELY PROTECTS AGAINST THE VIRUS IS MADE! One that protects the individual not only from the virus itself, but that prevents spreading it to others, in the event that the vaccinated person came into contact with the virus themselves. Like all other vaccinations do. Except of course the flu vaccine, but that's a bogus BS vaccine being foisted off on the public too. Considering the H1N1 virus itself protects against all other flues and colds out there. So if they wanted to end all colds and flus they could do it now, merely by injecting everyone with a weakened but live H1N1 virus. Et voila problem solved. But they won't do that because then the pharmaceutical industry will take a massive hit, if they can't sell annual flu shots & cold medications to everyone every year. 
 
So make a vaccine that's 100% effective against the virus in all it's latest mutations and once you've done that THEN YOU CAN LEGALLY MANDATE THE VACCINES TO EVERYONE but until then any mandations of the vaccine is just mandating the people get injected with something that's of very little use against the virus and current (and probably all future as well) variants. I can see and understand and even get behind 100% and promote vaccinating everyone in the general public if the vaccines were 100% effective, but they're not and there's lots of dangerous side effects involved with them too. So I'm reluctant to advise anyone to get the vaccines currently available now as I don't think they're of much use. So I can't get behind anyone forcing someone else to get one of these vaccinations as they stand now. I mean, I won't even advise my own son to get vaccinated against his wishes because of all the problems with the vaccines and how ineffective they are.  And until one is made that's 100% effective, we're all going to be petri dishes (vaccinated and non-vaccinated alike) for new variants to spring forth from.

 
Coronavirus in Hong Kong: watch out for profiteering as HK$36 billion spending voucher scheme launches  I guess this fits in with the Covidnomics being practiced by governments around the world now.

Economic Attitudes Improve in Many Nations Even as Pandemic Endures Probably has more to do with the weather and the loosening of the reins held by governments than the actual economies themselves. People are being allowed out and to breathe and enjoy themselves a bit now, so they are more inclined to have a more outgoing and  have more of a spendthrift attitude, rather than being so frugal and miserly as they were during lockdowns and restrictions.  I know myself when we were under lockdown with rules and regulations changing every half hour or so it seemed, it was hard to know what was going to be permitted later on today nevermind tomorrow or next week. Maybe today we could go to the grocery store, pharmacy and hardware store and get whatever we needed, but maybe next week we would need vouchers for the grocery store, hardware stores would be off limits altogether and the only way you could get into a pharmacy would be if you had a file there with them at the pharmacists counter or had an actual prescription to fill. I mean we just didn't know what was coming at us. Then with the price gouging that was going on for the simplest of things like toilet paper, paper towels and Lysol, it was like whoa.... How much is my bread and butter going to cost if those things rose exponentially like that then? So of course we didn't want to spend because we never knew what everything was going to cost tomorrow.  Now though everything is more relaxed because the restrictions are relaxed, so that means the mindsets and wallets are also more relaxed. So that's why. 

 

Those Virus Sequences That Were Suddenly Deleted? They're Back And whoever is buying this, might also be interested in a few islands and bridges I can sell them too. Seriously, do they honestly think we're going to buy this, that they were missing for a year and now suddenly they're found again but on another server? I mean seriously???? So what they were moved.... What were they doing to them in the meantime though? How much fiddling went on to try to modify the sequences to try to hide whatever they did to it in the beginning before it was released? That's what I'd like to know. I trust those lying basturds as far as I can throw them and that isn't far. 

 
Boston Mayor Kim Janey compares vaccine passports to slave papers, birtherism Basically that's the gist of it. That's the way I feel. I feel like it's just another way to track us. That's why we won't be getting the digital version and will rely on the printed paper version. That way I know there's no hidden anythings in the paper version that our printer prints out for us. I don't even want to use the paper version and we probably won't be needing to, until it comes time for us to try to cross provincial boundary lines when/if we move.
 
Delta Seen to Push Herd Immunity Threshold Above 80%  Look even if 101% of the population including newborn babies were inoculated, the Delta variant would STILL BE AROUND as it's INFECTING THE FULLY VACCINATED. So herd immunity will NOT be attained even if we had 101% of the population vaccinated with the current vaccines in use. We need REAL GENUINE 100% EFFECTIVE VACCINES BEFORE any herd immunity at any percentage of population inoculations can even be discussed!  All it is now is politicians, lieyers, pencil necked accountants, witch doctors and genocidal ski board instructors say so based on nothing but hopes and settling for next to nothing from the vaccine manufacturers, but I bet for an exorbitant price anyhow.  Make the vaccine makers make AN ACTUAL VACCINE THAT'S 100% EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE VIRUS FIRST BEFORE talking about percentage of population needed for herd immunity! That's to start. Now we're just injecting everyone with Mickey Mouse vaccines and hoping for the best, that's all we're doing at the current time. They like to discount homeopathic medicine by saying it's an atom's worth of medicine in an ocean of water so how can that help, well basically these vaccines have almost the same effectiveness as that. 

WHO Calls for Halt to Covid-19 Booster Shots to Tackle Shortfall in Developing World Personally I think those booster shots are nothing but a bunch of phooey (like my father used to say), that won't do much more against the virus and variants than the current 2 doses already do. I think those booster shot "needs" were invented by Fauci in order to line his bank account. But hasn't the guy ever heard the saying "you can't take it with you"? I mean geez he's 80 already, he's already a gazillionaire from all his shares in Pfizer and whatever he makes being the chief witch doctor of the US, so how much more money does he need anyhow? Like my husband says when someone's being greedy like that "I hope he chokes on it".

Majority of Americans believe worst in pandemic is still ahead: poll Wondering whatever gave them that idea? Could it be the constant over the top hyperbole of the media maybe? Could it be the anxious politicians who want so desperately to find a way to not only control the plandemic to their liking but also their populations? Or might it be through personal experience and observation? Because honestly my personal experience other than having to follow all the BS rules and regulations of this plandemic, I haven't seen or experienced anything different in life, except price gouging and not being able to see our doctor at all. Otherwise, everyone I ever knew is pretty much in the same state of health as they've always been and either financially stable or having their incomes whittled away by rules, regulations and closures through no fault of their own - mostly the govt's faults. But otherwise everything's the same here and the only inkling I have that things might get worse is what the media is saying and of course since they're the media and their income depends mostly on sensationalism (because if it's just ordinary and mundane - it's not news, it's just everyday occurances), they'll find the people who have the worst outlooks to consult and quote for their news articles. I mean a doctor that says "oh nothing's new", or "nothing's changed" that's not news so it won't be used they have to find a doctor that says something like his hair is on fire and the sky is falling because of the virus in order to have something to write, or broadcast about. Or make such a doctor & quote up (for the fake news artists). And these days who knows which is which any more anyhow?

America's pandemic of COVID hypocrisy Yup and there's the other form of hypocrisy where there's one set of rules and laws for the masses and another set for them, where the masses have to walk a mile behind each other and wear biowarfare suits or at least 3 layer masks, while they can hug each other, give French style cheek kisses, shake hands, sit as many as can be seated at a banquet table, enjoy a magnificent feast together at the same table composed of many many household bubbles, for sure, with several other tables like that in the room - to accomodate 600 or so guests for birthday parties (sound like a birthday party we heard about recently?). Probably copious amounts of alcohol involved and probably music and dancing as well - which probably wasn't restricted to your immediate household bubble either. Yet if we tried something like that the host of that party would be fined gazillions of dollars and probably wind up behind bars and all the party guests would each be fined in the thousands of dollars. I mean the local gov'ts would be jumping up and down rubbing their hands with glee thinking of all that wonderful income they'll be getting just from that one party. But yet, they got away with it, while others wouldn't. THAT'S what I call COVID HYPOCRISY, not what this story is calling COVID hypocrisy. 

China seals city as its worst virus outbreak in a year grows Good! Here's hoping they have to seal their entire country off from the rest of the world. No more cheap junk from them and no more BS from them either.

US plans to require COVID-19 shots for foreign travelers It looks like they'll be inoculated anyhow if they plan on going there via plane or cruise ship, because most of those transportation carriers have already said they want all their crews and passengers inoculated before boarding.

 
Fauci fears a COVID variant worse than Delta could be coming  Coming???? It's already around. From what I can understand Lambda isn't any picnic either. Worse than or equal to Delta, I'm not sure, but I do know that it's not milder than the original virus from what I've read so far.

Secretary of Defense Austin to announce mandatory vaccine policy for all active-duty military And now it starts in earnest. Once they start ordering federal employees and the military to get vaccinated, it won't be long before it's required by all eligible (age restrictions wise) citizens. It's the same the world over. First the gov'ts order military and their employees to be inoculated, then it's other "essential services" workers like medical personnel and teachers followed by students and then the public at large. Which I could and would understand IF those vaccines they're ordering everyone to take were actually effective, but they're not. So what's behind that? Is it to issue the QR codes that they can use to track you with maybe? Or is there something in the vaccines themselves that they want injected into everyone and it has nothing to do with the virus itself? Just wondering ......

 

 
Canada's Quebec province to introduce vaccine passport Anyone reading my blog will have known this already as I've spent plenty of time beitching and ruminating about it in here, wondering what the F it's really for.

Melbourne plunges back into coronavirus lockdown a week after leaving it Wow.... That is so disheartening and awful when that happens. We've had it happen a couple times in the past here and sometimes it goes from nearly being allowed to be back to normal to draconian all of a sudden lockdown coupled with a draconian curfew. Then the politicians wonder why we're losing our patience with them and literally want to string them up by their necks! Um duh.

Alarmed Louisiana Residents Turn to Vaccines in ‘Darkest Days’ of Pandemic I hope their expectations with the vaccines are met and that they work for them as good as they think they will, but I doubt it.

North Texas Hospitals’ Request For Emergency Staff Denied By State Wow and I thought it was bad here in QC where after being coersed into getting family doctors so they could close the walk-in clinics, and not being able to see our family doctors on account of COVID, that it was really bad here too, as everyone who needs any kind of medical attention (from a prescription renewal, to antibiotics for a strep throat) needs to go to the hospital emergency room now. Since Peg Legged Pete aka Lucien Bouchard closed all the hospitals down back in the 90s when he was premier of the province, there aren't that many ERs left to go to now, so you wait for eons at the one and only hospital in your region, if you have to get medical attention of any kind. But for existing hospitals to be denied requested emergency medical staff, under these circumstances is something else.

Offspring drummer Pete Parada says band cut him loose over COVID-19 vaccine decision First off, I don't know this guy, nor his band. The only reason I have an interest in this article is because of the micro management that these vaccine mandates are having. I mean now a band is forcing one member out because he refused to get inoculated. That is so over the top micro managed and nit picky, not to mention probably violates a few of that guy's rights, without them having any legal authority to do so, probably, that it just makes me that much more anti-vaccine in this case and I'm really really sorry I got vaccinated now. I only did so at my husband's behest, but if I'd have known what was coming down the road in regards to this whole fiasco, I wouldn't have, because I didn't think I needed it anyhow as I'm sure I already had the virus in January last year.

 
Polls Show 20% of Americans Have Ended Friendships Over Covid Spats — And 29% Have Lost Someone to Covid Death Okay, first thing to remember here is "OF THE PEOPLE POLLED". The next thing you have to think about were these people chosen at random by the pollster or was it an online poll where the person answering the poll, saw the question before deciding the answer the poll. If it was an online poll, it's very likely the respondants took the poll as a way of registering to the world the death of their loved one or their broken friendship, but it does NOT MEAN that 20% of Americans have lost friends because of Covid spats, or that nearly 1/3rd of the population has died (because that's what it would break down to in numbers if you see it as 29% lost someone to COVID well if all Americans were polled that would be dammed near 1/3rd of their entire population that died from it and we know that's not the case). So it's OF THE PEOPLE POLLED - who either answered the online poll voluntarily or were chosen at random by the pollster.
 
 
Workers brace for renewed 'rebellion and anger' in stores and restaurants amid changing mask guidance If they keep this up, at some point the general population is just going to lose it en masse and start a massive rebellion against these sheite heads. People can't take it any more and the more this goes on the less patient and compliant they're going to be with the authorities and start flouting them and then if the authorities try to crack down there will a massive revolt at some point. And well I can't say as I blame the revolters, the authorities had it coming and sooner or later they'll get it. It's not a question of if, just a question of when.
 
The one pandemic boom that is definitely over Because I guess people are only just now starting to realize that "oh yeah, that can of beans I bought today, was touched by a gazillion other people besides me and I didn't get sick from it, so it must be okay to touch other things other people touched ahead of me". This is something that should've been immediately obvious to anyone who bought anything at any kind of store, but most obvious in a grocery store, where you visibly see people picking things up off the shelves, looking at them and putting them back and stockboys stocking the shelves, the cashiers picking the items up at the cash, the bagger boys putting the items in the bags for you etc... And that's just there in the store. 
 
Now think about the manufacturing, warehousing and packing, shipping and recieving and backroom storage before being placed on shelves and the like and how many people might've handled that product in that sequence of events. A lot more than one that's for sure. And I can guarantee you that IF they used hand sanitizer at all it was at the beginning of their shift, maybe after their latest bathroom break, or after a lunch or coffee break, but definitely not everytime they touched something different. 
 
And the person picking up the cans looking at them putting them back on the shelf, followed by the next person to do the same thing to the same can, I mean how sterile do you think that can is after awhile? So how come you didn't get sick from buying groceries or anything else for that matter? 
 
And if you want to be mega paranoid about things, why aren't you super paranoid about the people that prepare and handle your food in restaurants? Or drinks at bars? Did you ever catch covid simply by eating or drinking something that someone else made? It's doubtful. 
 
So everything to do with this plandemic including the spread of the virus via objects etc.... Was over the top hyped to us to make us scared and thus compliant.  
 
But if anyone stopped to think about things and realize things like that for a few moments maybe they'd have realized the BS behind it all. 
 
Yes I know we all had to sanitize or wash our hands before entering the store, but there are germs everywhere and if we touch something - anything, whether that's the turnstyle bar, the grocery cart handles, a mango that someone else picked up and examined before putting it back, those germs get on the skin of our hands shortly after the hand sanitizer or water dries. The hand sanitizer and water and soap removed what was there, but doesn't prevent new germs from getting on our freshly cleaned or sanitized skin, the moment after it dries. So if someone has their mask hanging down below their nose and pulls it up, they've breathed on their hands and now they're going to go touch everything in the store, some of which you'll touch too. Or someone rubs their eyes with their hands (eyes are said to carry the virus as much as the rest of the body) and they touch things with their hands followed by you, you should've gotten the virus according to all those experts trying to keep us scared and ignorant... So did you? If what they were saying was true, you must've, I should've and so should've everyone else who's ever been in a grocery or any kind of store too! But we didn't. 
 
So that was either an alarmist precaution, or else a purposely invented lie to keep us scared and marching in lock step. It's minor little things like this that I figured out early on and only complied with the BS hand sanitizing and washing because that was the only way to get into the store as most stores had stationed people there at the entrance to make sure everyone complied. But when I came out and got in the car, even knowing all the germs I probably came into contact with all the way through the store and out again, I didn't sanitize my hands even though there was a small bottle of it, sitting right there beside me in the car. Other than drying my hands out from all the alcohol in the sanitizers I didn't see the point of it.
 
Ibiza seeks detectives to crash parties as COVID-19 surges I'm sure they have more than enough applicants for those positions.
 
 
What Is the Delta Plus Variant? Here’s What Experts Know About It So Far Okay, well it's precisely this mode of thinking, that will keep this virus going for years to come, quoting the story now:

Dr. Adalja agrees. “There’s no specific concern with this variant yet, over and above the concern with Delta,” he says, adding that it’s “unclear” if the mutation will do anything to change the state of current COVID-19 cases.

“We have to step back a bit and say, ‘Let’s see how this develops,’” Dr. Sellick adds. “We’re not going to modify our treatments and vaccines based on a few cases.”

That said, it’s important for the public health community to track Delta Plus. “We don’t want to ignore it or blow it off,” Dr. Sellick says. “If it becomes dominant, it becomes an issue.”

No of course not, why would they modify the vaccines that barely work? We can't have that, because then they might actually work and do the job of a proper vaccine rather than a watered down placebo!

I can just see Fauci dancing around his office in fits of glee with dollar signs in his eyes though - Gates too as he's heavily invested in Pfizer as well. This is just what the pharmaceutical companies wants to hear, lackadasical approaches to this like this, suits them just fine.  I guess though when the population starts dwindling because of massive die offs, and the pharmaceutical companies start seeing their customer bases dwindling too because of it, they'll smarten up and fly right, but it might be too late by then.

Delta variant: ‘This is a wake-up call for everyone in the country,’ emergency physician says 

Is the Delta variant making younger adults 'sicker, quicker’? Maybe after coming into contact with the older people who were vaccinated against the original variant, it became stronger and thus when it attacks a younger otherwise healthy individual it's a stronger variant that can cause more serious illness in them easier than the original variant could before. That's what happens when you don't mass inoculate everyone all at the same time and pick and choose people to vaccinate and drag the campaign out for eons on end. The circulating virus has time to come into contact with the partially inoculated and fully inoculated and mutate and adapt and then float around in the healthier unvaccinated younger crowd and infect them and cause them serious problems on account of it.  I guess though scenarios like that are just too hard for those rocket scientists in charge of the vaccine manufacture and infectious disease specialists to envision or understand.

COVID’s return is a human cooperation problem. Plus some politics. Actually it's the medical establishment's problem. They've got to get their freaking act together and come to a concensus on the problem and how to treat it and do so in lock step with 100% effective vaccines. Politics is what took this problem and made it 10,000 times worse than it probably is or was or ever will be by the way they handled it and the measures they implemented or implemented too late for it to matter (like shutting down borders etc...). So politics has NO BUSINESS in meddling in this problem until or unless there's a concensus in the medical community agreed upon by the MAJORITY and not just by the head honcho in charge of it like haggy the witch doctor Tam in Canada's case or Tedros in the WHO's case or Fauci in the US's case. I mean the medical COMMUNITY AND MAJORITY OF DOCTORS WHO ALL AGREE ON PROCEDURES & PROPER VACCINES TO BE USED (hopefully they'll agree on one vaccine with the HIGHEST EFFICACY RATE and not merely the one being pushed by this person or that and they'll make sure that the vaccine IS EFFICIENT and not merely a smidgeon more than 50% like now AND A TIME TO ADMINISTER IT TO ALL - shortest time period possible similar to when the H1N1 was circulating, to give the virus the least amount of time to adapt to it and mutate). That's WHO HAS TO BE COOPERATING HERE NOT JOE BLOW & JANE DOE & THE MILK MAN, they can't do anything about it even as a collective, except riot and vote draconian wanna be dictators out if there's an election (like we Canadians will have the privilege of taking part in on Sept 20 - I plan on voting Mr. Dressup out of office so he can be thrown in jail to face criminal charges for all his crimes he's committed while in office, but most especially the crimes against humanity for genecide and senecide, and hopefully that's precisely what will happen to him too).

Covid third wave: Americans 'scared and angry' as pandemic worsens So is this the 3rd or 4th wave now? Even the lamestream media can't keep their stories straight now.

What I Learned After Living With My Parents During the Pandemic She's got a couple things right, life's short and we don't want to wind up regretting things and life can throw some real curve balls at us, that we didn't see coming.  Some that change our lives drastically. This plandemic would be an excellent example of that.

Alberta plan to remove COVID-19 measures is ‘risky gamble,’ fed health minister tells Shandro

Federal health minister pens letter to Alberta, asks for science behind plan to lift COVID-19 rules hehehe  this is hilarious. The Federal "health minister" aka genecidal kindergarten art teacher asks for science behind something.... Even if there was actual science behind it, they'd have to respond to her with cartoon drawings and captions in order for her to understand. Kind of the way Brian Mulbaloney got his daily briefings from cabinet. Otherwise the subject matter was way beyond his grasp. 

COVID-19 booster shot might be needed by winter, Moderna says as study continues I don't care if it is, two were enough for me thanks. I don't think I'll be getting any more shots, the 2nd one was rough enough and I don't want to be going through that or worse again.

Germany to give COVID vaccine boosters to vulnerable groups in September 

French will need health pass by Monday after court approval Did Macron and Legault collude and scheme with each other over this as a way to get the rest of their unions (Europe & Canada respectively) to go along with it and create a standard on both sides of the Atlantic?  Because it just seems awfully funny both come out with the same ideas at the same time even though there were no public meetings between the two. 

Countries pressing ahead with booster shot plans despite WHO plea

French President Macron: third COVID vaccine doses likely for elderly and vulnerable  

Israelis told to 'stop embracing', elderly urged to get booster as Covid-19 cases spike Again as demonstrated by this story and the one right above, this is how this starts, by "offering it" to the elderly and vulnerable and after those populations have had it "offered to them", next comes the younger groups (we've already seen this scenario play out with the younger groups and next younger groups and so on being "offered it" until we get down to the last few reticents and then it's no longer being "offered" instead it's being mandated). We've already seen this show and I don't know about anyone else, but I've been there and done that already and ain't doing it again for love nor money.

The Dystopian Quarantines That Crushed Olympic Dreams 

U.S. Health System Ranks Last Among 11 High-Income Countries Eh don't get so smug there fellow Canucks! We're ranked 10th. That's how bad our medicare system has gotten over the decades. Now here in QC it's so bad that there are no or very few walk in clinics so if you fall and severely skin a knee and need to see a doctor right now, forget the walk in, you'll have to go to the ER where more serious medical emergencies (that's what that word in Emergency Room means - EMERGENCIES - and sore throats and skinned knees aren't medical emergencies) should be seen and not ALL medical care for everything given.  Even family doctors won't even talk to you on the phone here anymore let alone see you, because OMG they might get Covid - I don't know how their secretaries can get Covid from answering the phone, but anyhow.... Just seems like a good excuse not to have to work while being able to collect a salary, if you ask me. And of course our "health" minister Mr. DuMbe is too f'n stupid to realize that if he mandated that the family physicians actually started treating and seeing their patients that that would cut down on the patients showing up at ERs and swamping the hospitals with patients. I mean enough is enough. Make the f'n doctors start to work again or fire them and get it over with. Maybe take the money you save from their salaries and build more hospitals - so we'll at least have more ERs to go sit in for eons in order to be seen by a doctor for our minor ailments. Either way, like my mother used to say piss or get off the pot DuMbe. 

How secure are New York's vaccine passport apps? They don't seem to be much more secure than those in QC's and if you caught Montreal News at 6 on CTV with Mitsumi Takahashi, and saw the segment on the QR code and the passport, you'd have seen a security expert who talked about the insecurities involved with it, AND ALSO mention the fact that this will be used for other purposes in the future as well (meaning the vaccine passports we're issued). Like I said before.... It's a nasty piece of work that starts by putting your vaccine info on it, which will then include all your vaccinations and then whoops we've got to put your whole medical file on it to make it readily accessable to all medical personnel who might need to consult it. Then pretty soon it'll be your driver's license and driving record, then your financial information and employment record along with all the performance evaluations and bonuses or disciplanary measures taken, salaries paid,  criminal record (if any), all other licenses like fire arms, or pilots or nursing or boating etc... along with academic records as well. I mean they'll be able to stick your whole life in that QR code and you won't know what's there because unless you can hack it, you'll never be able to read it yourself. That's what I see that pass as being used for whether it's on paper or digital doesn't matter. It's what's programmed into that particular QR and shows when being read by the people with the reader that can read that info, that matters. But yeah NY's passport looks about as secure as ours does.

Moderna Earnings Were Pretty Good. That’s Not Always Enough Following a 141% Rise. Geez if I could've invested in it when I wanted I'd be sitting pretty today. So would our son have been if he invested in it when I told him to. 

'We are backsliding': The pandemic momentum has been squandered Because like Canada instead of having one leader who's taking control of the situation and saying this is how's it going to be whether you like it or not, everyone is their own leader deciding for themselves what they're going to do, when they're going to do it and how, instead of the one leader saying line up everyone you're all getting your shots NOW and come back in x amount of weeks for your 2nd shots and that's it. Do it all at once and get it over with. Instead you just dick around and dick around like there's no tomorrow.... Same here in Canada. Everything's so disjointed and disorganized that it's a miracle we haven't all fallen flat on our faces because we tied all our shoelaces together or something. I mean if we as a society were as dysfunctional as this when it came to H1N1 no one would be needing any more cold medications or flu shots, as everyone would be immune to those now. But miraculously the pharmaceutical industry world wide got their ashes in gear and cranked out the shots like there was no tomorrow (and they made damned well sure that they were 100% effective at preventing the virus, because they knew the stakes their industry would be facing if they failed) and got everyone lined  up at every available clinic, pharmacy, school and you freaking well name it to get those shots into all the people's arms in record time. I think everyone here was vaccinated in less than 3 months time (and that included kids below the ages of 12 too). They've had 8 whole freaking months to get everyone over the age of 12 here in QC vaccinated against COVID, and they still haven't done it. Why? Seems to be a colossal failure on the gov'ts part on this one compared to the H1N1 virus which was actually a BENEFICIAL VIRUS AS IT PROVIDES IMMUNITY TO MOST IF NOT ALL FLUES AND COLDS. But yet they wanted all the citizens vaccinated AGAINST IT - SO THEY COULD CONTINUE TO GET FLUES & COLDS. And yes you read that right!  So with all the concerted dithering and dancing and sticking their heads in the sand BS going on now that they got the much vaunted vaccines they were whining about the lack of last year, they're doing everything in their power to impede the progress of getting it into people's arms. When I just demonstrated that in 2009 when H1N1 came out they had the entire population here in QC vaccinated against it in 3 months time. But then of course we had competent leaders at the helms of both the country and our medical system unlike the genecidal trio in charge of that now. That's how those monkies in charge are squandering it. 

L.A. gets aggressive on vaccine requirements as Delta surges. How it affects you 

Exclusive: Intel agencies scour reams of genetic data from Wuhan lab in Covid origins hunt Here's wishing them luck with their hunt! I hope they find what they're looking for!

White House pushes student vaccinations as hospital admissions, deaths rise about 40% in a week As I said before, when I was a kid going to school we had to have all required vaccinations before we could start school and that even included one against smallpox (which is now eradicated because we were all forced to get that vaccination back then, otherwise it would still be circulating now).  But like I said above, IF these vaccines were 100% or at least 95% effective on a longer term basis than 6 months to a year, then I'd say yeah if they're safe enough to be administered to kids younger than 12 and as young as 4 1/2 - 5 years old then I'd say yeah make them mandatory for students, but as long as that's not the case and the only ones really benefitting from such a policy are the pharmaceutical companies & their shareholders then I say lay off and let everyone make up their own minds, whether they figure the risks outweigh the benefits or vice versa, for themselves. That in that case, no one has the right to require some one else to take shots that aren't as beneficial to them as they should be and might in fact cause serious harm to them instead. 

Meanwhile, back at the ranch.... Study warns of 'irreversible transition' in ocean currents that could rapidly freeze parts of North America Just thought that while we've been so immersed in COVID 19 there were other things that might be much more grave than COVID going on out there that we ought to know about too and this one was right there at the top of the pile screaming at me. ⛄⛄ That's what we'll all look like if that scenario came to pass. We'd all be frozen stiff snow people who wouldn't have to worry about COVID, vaccines, or lack thereof then.... Again think of this as another addition to my "journal" here - because it was something that came to light while this plandemic was in full swing. 

Singh calls for feds not to clawback benefit money for seniors Well of course the moronic little senecidal prick has to claw as much of it back as he can get because he's got to give yet MORE money to today's brats that already get $500 - $600 a month each in family allowance, PLUS they also have mommy's & daddy's income to live off of too, while the seniors have ONLY their pensions and if they're getting OAS it's because they're the poorest of the poor there are as far as seniors goes - meaning they get only that supplement with their regular pension to live on, they don't have fancy company pensions and RRSPs and stocks and bonds and dividends from those coming in every few quarters to live on, nor do they get family allowance or anything else and the only hope they have of getting a raise is when or if the gov't is feeling generous enough to allow a 1 or 2 percent annual raise (which isn't every year I can tell you that much). They can't go out on strike because they don't like their income and demand to be paid more or else they stop working altogether. The gov't probably hopes they do, that way they don't have to pay them a pension and it's cheaper for the gov't. Then they have more money to give to the snivelling snot nosed brats who already are spoiled rotten and don't deserve even 1/10th of what they're getting per month from the gov't. I mean what did they do to earn that? The seniors actually EARNED & PAID INTO THEIR PENSIONS AND IT'S THEIR MONEY THEY'RE GETTING BACK! But what did a 4 year old snot nosed brat do to earn the same amount per month that a senior who worked all their lives gets???? Pulease tell me and tell me why you think it's alright to claw money back from the poorest of the poor seniors!!!!!! Why don't you claw Mommy Dearest's pension back - I'm sure she could get by without her gov't pension and doesn't need it. But I don't see you doing that, instead you prefer picking on the poor and downtrodden thinking you'll be able to get away with it easier than when you pick on the rich beitches out there. It shows what kind of petty miserable little man you really are. At least Singh has a heart and seems to care about people and wants to help them. I hope he knocks your moronic genecidal ash hole off your pedestal and you get thrown out of office and directly into jail. That's all I have to say about you.

'Go Quebec! Will be the safest jurisdiction in Canada’: Canadians applaud province's COVID-19 vaccine passport plan Really??? How the F do you come to that conclusion anyhow???? First I demonstrated in my last post how that's all a bunch of BS by the trainloads by pointing out how it's the restaurant and bar staff who do NOT HAVE TO BE VACCINATED IN ORDER TO WORK THERE who will be in CLOSER PROXIMITY TO OTHER PATRON'S THEMSELVES & THEIR FOOD & DRINKS THAN THE OTHER PAYING CUSTOMERS WILL. So they have more chance of getting the virus from the staff anyhow as they're not being vaccinated, than they do from other customers vaccinated or not as most other customers in the establishment won't be anywhere near them or their food/drinks. That's to start. Second, what's the big deal about this vaccine passport and the vaccines themselves since they're not 100% effective and most people who are getting and passing the virus on to others ARE THOSE WHO ARE FULLY VACCINATED!!!!! So the point of this passport other than to use it as an excuse to get you to carry it (so you can be tracked or have all your life's info dumped into the QR code on it) is what? Passport or vaccine or not, we can ALL CARRY & SPREAD THE VIRUS. So it doesn't mean because I'm fully vaccinated and I can present a QR code indicating that, that I'm safe for others to be around, because I could be carrying the virus and spreading it myself. So what's that passport really for? That's what I want to know before I start using it..... Because to prove I'm vaccinated seems to be a rather hollow and lame reason for me to have one, as vaccination status is irrelevant to the virus and all who are susceptible to it.

At least 129 people caught COVID at Calgary Stampede, 325 attended while possibly infectious Yee Haw! Yippie Kiy Yay! Wondering how many of those were fully vaccinated.

Thousands jam Philippine vaccination sites over false news We'd better watch out because Gestapo Barbie, Dumbe and Legault here in QC might start taking lessons from Duteurte if they think that's the only way to get people to get vaccinated and accept that stupid passport of theirs.

Pfizer and Moderna hiked their COVID-19 vaccine prices in the EU after AstraZeneca lost popularity there, report says And now they're trying to capitalize on those higher prices even more by suggesting that a 3rd dose will be needed to stave off the virus. 

Canada-U.S. border opening: COVID-19 fourth wave won't come from American travellers, Canada's top doctor says Oooof course not. But it's hard to tell because we're just now entering it, a few weeks after the border was opened, so it's been long enough to enter the country and spread around a bit already. So did it come in from across the border from the US or was it already here and got in some other way like via a flight from India for example?  It's really hard to tell with such porous borders as ours. We've been letting everyone from all over the place in since the plandemic began so we have no knowledge of nor control over what's getting in (in the way of variants or any other diseases for that matter) nor how.

Yeah, we caught your tail and horns showing there Biden. Your fake halo is getting rather tarnished now, isn't it time you shined it a little and tucked that tail back up under your robes?

Frogs Legs, Friends, & Flowers to Celebrate 46th Anniversay Amid the Neverending

 Covid 19

Courtesy Pixabay.com


July 25, 2021


The picture above is very apt, first in regards to the frogs legs we had for dinner in the front yard with friends, who brought the flowers and wine to compliment the occasion of our 46th anniversary. And second the hear no evil, see no evil and as he's covering his nose and not his mouth I'm going to say smell no evil, is what I wish we could say about this stupid never ending plandemic, that just keeps getting worse and worse as time goes by.

As we never had frogs legs before we invited friends to have dinner with us, as there were a lot of frogs legs and we weren't sure we'd even like them let alone eat them, so we invited a couple of friends who does like frogs legs to join us. As it turns out we liked them too. And when you hear people say "it tastes just like chicken", they mean it, they're not just saying it to pull the wool over your eyes. If I ever see them listed for sale anywhere again, I think I'll buy some more, as they were really good. We enjoyed the meal, the company and the view of the water, wings of victory and our neigbhour's garden.

Now what's not so enjoying is all the annoying, neverending and scary covid 19 plandemic headlines that just never seem to quit and go away. Despite vaccinations there seems to be more and more covid19 infections and hospitalizations.  I know they're saying it's not amongst the fully vaccinated, but I've seen stories where there have been incidents of people who've been fully vaccinated contracting it and getting seriously ill with it.  I've still got a ton of headlines links in my bookmark file from the last time I posted and I've accumulated even more since then. Unless I go back to doing this as frequently as I did before, I don't see how I'll ever get on top of them. Trust me, that's not happening. In fact, I'm posting way more still than I wanted to because as you recall I said on March 16th that that was it. Right? 

Well apparently not, as I'm still posting stuff from time to time, even though I really don't want to. But as a promise to myself that I made about this being a running diary of sorts of how we got through the plandemic by posting some of the happenings in our lives along with the headlines, that's what keeps me coming back again to post. Mostly on certain occasions, like when we got our vaccines, certain birthdays and anniversaries among other things.  Well today was our 46th anniversary and rather than go out to a fancy restaurant somewhere we invited some friends to join us in our front yard for the frog's leg feast while taking in the breezes and the view. (Better ambience than most restaurants have, that's for sure). So that's why I'm back again with a new post, because I wanted to add how we celebrated our anniversary to this running sort of diary. If it weren't for that I don't know when I'd post again. 

Since we put the house up for sale we've had inquiries, visitors and over 20,000 views of our listings on the internet. So you never know. We might have a chance. I hope so at least.

COVID-19 risk-taking is going up as people become more desensitized to pandemic life Some of those people may be more willing to take risks thinking that there's enough people vaccinated around them, to protect them from getting it themselves. Our son thinks like that. No matter what we try to tell him.

1 in 5 small business owners were on brink of closing forever during pandemic That's pretty bad when you think that 20% of small businesses were ready to close forever.  

India’s pandemic death toll could be in the millions That is absolutely horrible! And shameful that the gov't would allow that to happen to it's own citizens when it's been touted to have the largest vaccine manufacturer facilities and efforts going on in the world. A lot of what they gave away to other countries could've and probably should've been used for their own population, first.

Australia man ties bedsheets together to escape 4th floor hotel quarantine - police  hehehehe.... Well they do say, where there's a will there's a way. Kudos to him. Too bad he didn't totally get away with it. I am so against all of these draconian gestapo measures all these politicians world wide think they can get away with in the name of this plandemic, that when I see anyone with the moxie this guy had, I'm ready to throw him party to celebrate his cunning and daring attitude!

An ‘absolutely unprecedented’ COVID surge in the Netherlands - so what can England learn?

UK govt plan to end virus orders queried as cases top 50,000 I agree it seems like they're working in reverse. The higher the case counts the more freedoms the people are allowed. Rather bizarre compared to the power mongers here in QC, who like to keep the screws on no matter how few cases there are. 

Dutch PM apologises for easing of COVID-19 curbs as cases soar It's things like this that angers people. They feel like they're just starting to get their lives and businesses back on track and start buying inventory to cook, and sell and hiring personnel and then suddenly without warning yet again they're told they have to close. Then the powers that be can't understand why everyone is so angry at them. To me it's a wonder they haven't all been overthrown and anarchists having taken over already. Because as I told Mulbaloney in the 80s - there's more of us than there are of them (meaning political class, elite, authorities, and military personnel all combined). So if enough people got enraged enough all at the same time it would be easy for the gov'ts to be toppled and there wouldn't be a whole hell of a lot they could do about it, short of kill all the protestors like Pinochet, and the clowns in China when they used tanks to run over protesting students. But then if they resort to tactics like that, we will see their true colours and realize they're not all that democratic after all and more authoritarian instead. Maybe some leaders would rather die themselves than be seen like that, but I'm sure there's plenty who don't gives a rat's ash how we see them as long as they're the ones in control and not us.

COVID-19: Hospital admissions could peak at 1,000 to 2,000 a day in England during third wave, scientists believe

Common cholesterol drug reduces risk of COVID death by 40%, study finds Oh maybe it lowers the risk of covid related deaths by 40% but I bet it increases the risk of homicide/femicide & suicide deaths by that much too, considering the drastic mood alterations this drug causes. It can cause someone to go from placid, benign moods to lethal rages in a blink of an eye where the person taking the statins based drugs just suddenly wants to kill someone because of some trivial trigger (whether that was a word, a look, a movement or whatever) or kill themselves because they suddenly just see no point in living for no logical reason. Like they weren't previously depressed before this sudden suicidal urge came over them, it's like it's caused by a random thought or mood swing like the enraged homicidal maniac described above.  So statins are NOT something I'd want to be using, nor have any of my loved ones using either. If it's because of high cholestrol, there's other ways to handle that - starting with a high fiber, low cholestrol & fat diet.  So lay off the butter, bacon and steak and chow down on more celery, bran, beans, broccoli, etc... Much better for you than those statins chemicals and much better for your sanity as well. And they probably do as much to prevent death by covid as well, as they probably provide a better boost to your immune system.

Moderna is the Tesla of biotechs, stock price could hit $325: analyst I told my son to invest in this stock back when this company was first mentionned as being a potential covid vaccine producer. It's doubtful that he did as he doesn't listen to my advice much, only if I tell him and other people tell him the same thing, then suddenly his mother is a genius and someone to be listened to. Otherwise, what do I know?

Spread of Covid-19 variants heightens debate over extra vaccines This is turning into a pharmaceutical cash cow, money gimmick now. That's what it looks like to me. I don't care where I'll be allowed or not allowed if I don't get another shot, but I refuse to get a third or any other subsequent vaccine against a covid virus or variant for as long as I live. My 2nd Moderna shot was pain and agony enough for a shot for one life time  thanks.

Hotel Guests Find Damp Towels, Trash Piles Amid Worker Shortage Well what can you expect? If you want workers you have to pay and treat them decently, the same way you'd like to be  treated and given the same pay you'd want if you had to do the same jobs as them. It's called being decent and treating others no matter their station in life, with the same respect you expect for yourself. Like the golden rule says "Do Unto Others as You'd Have Them Do Unto You". It doesn't mention how high or low on life's echelons those others are. It says others as in all others and not merely your peers and equals but all others including those on the lower echelons in the workplace and in society in general.

Miami-Based Regent’s 2024 ‘World Cruise’ Sells Out Under Three Hours I couldn't understand for the life of me why tickets for a floating petri dish would sell out so fast until I read the itinerary. Even though I hate the idea of cruises on big ships like that, I would've signed up for that cruise myself if I could've afforded tickets for us, because it sounds exciting and after a year and a half of being stuck at home, it's something I could go for too.

UC Mandates Coronavirus Vaccines, With Some Exceptions, For In-Person Campus Access In Upcoming Fall Term It's starting.... One university demands vaccines for in person campus access - it won't be long before others start doing the same until it's  a defacto standard for admission to any university in the US - and then Canada will follow suit (like we always do).

More than 1,000 Israelis test positive for COVID The PM there is saying the Pfizer vaccine is significantly less effective against the Delta variant. As Moderna is made basically the same way, I would assume that statement might also apply to Moderna vaccinations as well. Though I hope not. 

Pingdemic: England’s covid app sent half a million exposure notifications in a week Wow!

Singapore and the UK are both planning to 'live with Covid.' They are worlds apart on how to do that Sounds like we're approaching a post apocalyptic world where it'll be treated like the flu, but how's that going to work, when it's spread so easily and rapidly? How many times will a business be expected to open, close and stay locked down  for x amount of times? What will happen to the owners and creditors of those businesses? Will they survive or just wither and die? What about the employees of those businesses? Who's going to support them when their main source of income is taken away?  Has anyone actually thought any of this supposed fairytale nonsense through?

Censorship Coordination Deepens Yup. That's for sure. That's one of the reasons I try to stick to the lamestream media as much as possible and use their own headlines to post here. So that later on when they want to turn it around and call it fake news or a conspiracy theory or whatever I have the link/s that prove it started with them. So it would be hard to censor me given that I'm getting it from the lamestream media directly themselves.

Biden says social media carrying COVID misinformation is 'killing people' More like the inept negligent politicians whose too stupid to tie their own shoelaces and chew gum at the same time but apparently bright enough to make policies that affect everyone in their nations, but can't figure out that the best way to keep a disease that's in one country out of their country would be to close the borders tighter than a drum. If they did that in the beginning there would be no "killing people" BS going on now, because there'd be little to no disease in their country to start with.

Music banned on Greece's Mykonos in new COVID-19 restrictions I can understand banning dancing and maybe singing along, but banning music (even if it's CD or radio or whatever?) is just about as draconian as QC is. It makes not sense at all. Why are they doing that? Will everyone's ears catch covid if they hear music now? Or might it have more to do with not wanting anyone to actually enjoy themselves a little bit? I think that's probably got more to do with it than anything else, because since this started, the powers that be have been bound and bent to suck the enjoyment and life out of everything, it seems.

Quebec families, business owners eagerly await U.S. border's reopening It would be nice to get reacquainted with a cousin of mine that lives in Micihigan. We have always been going to do it and we kept putting it off and then we couldn't because of the plandemic. But now with putting our house up for sale, if we sell we plan on moving to some place in the Maritimes. If we do, we'll be even further away from her than we are now, so it'll only make it that much further to travel to see her. So might as well do it while we're still relatively close, if we can. On the way there or back we could take a detour and check out Niagra Falls (I was there as a little kid but my husband never went) and whatever else there is to see in Ontario (on our way back from Michigan and/or Niagra Falls) that we haven't seen before.

COVID-19: Travellers frustrated at 'chaotic' government U-turn over France quarantine rules 

Delta variant's rise plunges Europe into uncertainty — and offers a warning to the U.S. 

Olympic Village's COVID-19 bubble sees first positive test I'm wondering if this was allowed to go ahead on purpose hoping that it'll allow for multiple variants and strains to cross paths with each other and form one mega monsterous variant from hell, in order to decimate much of the earth's population (and all the olympians would basically be returning back to their respective countries with it) that even the vaccines can't fight? I wouldn't doubt it, that the Olympics were figured into the equation before the virus was let loose in 2019, only they thought Tokyo would host the Olympics in 2020 like they were supposed to do, instead of now, a year later.

COVID has become 'pandemic of the unvaccinated'; Pfizer vaccine full approval may take months: Today's updates

Meet the unvaccinated: Why some Canadians still haven't had the shot I agree with all the dissenters here. They all have valid reasons. I got it, because my husband wanted me to because he wanted to get himself vaccinated. I didn't think I needed it because  I am sure I had it back in January 2020, but I couldn't be sure as I could never get an antibody test. So to appease my husband I got the vaccinations - mostly to protect him - because he didn't have any illness back when I think I had it. I do believe though that his pneumonia vaccine probably protected him from it and that's maybe why he didn't get sick when I did. But anyhow, we both have our vaccines now whether we wanted or needed them or not.

Facebook says it should not be blamed for U.S. failing to meet vaccine goals I agree. Everyone who reads, hears or sees something has a mind of their own and can formulate their own opinions based on whatever they saw read or heard. Personally when I hear, see or read something that I know is 100% BS or sounds so outlandish and full of it, my reaction is to roll my eyes and shut it off or walk away or just find some other site to go to. It doesn't mean because I read something on a website (no matter how much I like the site) that I'm going to automatically believe it. I was taught to think critically and reason things out for myself based on everything I know up until this point, like all my collective knowledge and experiences and if it rings hollow or sounds too wacky and outlandish still then I ignore it. If it has some points of validity to it, I might research it further before deciding and if it sounds like what I know to be  true, then I'll probably be inclined to believe it 100% without too much resistance. For something as important as this, I think whoever is reading, seeing or hearing something about this issue, ought to do further research rather than just rely on that one source of information (no matter where or who that source is). Google the names of the vaccines, or the companies names, or the inventors names, ask people who you know who's had a vaccine about their experience (side effects, adverse reactions, etc..) and weigh all of that information up together before making a final decision.

Canada needs to jump-start a stalled first-dose campaign to avoid a fourth wave, experts say

LILLEY: No need for mandatory vaccinations or vaccine passports  Agreed 100%!

Canada surpasses U.S. in COVID-19 vaccinations, despite its slow start Was that because all Canadians were psyched into believing that if they didn't get their vaccine when they had a chance they wouldn't be able to later on because there might not be enough doses for them to? Could that maybe have had something to do with it?

The new real estate normal Yup that's what happened here. As soon as the sign went up neighbours started calling the agent to find out how much we were selling it for. Other agents who didn't know it was listed with a real estate agent, called me, because they said they had a client who was interested in buying it. So I referred them to our agent and she was stunned that we had one. Since it was listed earlier in the week (Tuesday I think) we've had over 20,000 views of the listings online. Plus we had a visitor come to see the house. Our agent sent us packing while the visit was going on so we don't know what the outcome was, only that we weren't presented with an offer *yet*. But everyone's circling like sharks. Our neighbour, asked if we really want to move or to stay. I said it doesn't really make a difference, that while we love the neighbourhood and them and some other neighbours, we didn't like the new antagonists beside us. If we move it's because we got the money we were asking for it, or more (and he seems to think we could get a lot more - he's one of those millionaire neighbours we have now)  and if we stay it doesn't matter as it's paid for already. So he shook his head and said he thinks we'll sell and we'll get way more than we're asking. Only time will tell, I guess. But it sure would be nice if he's right!

Warning to the Real-Estate Cartel Maybe that's why they're giving such high evaluations on houses, so that when the seller sells using their inflated evaluation, they make more money.

The Pain of the Never-Ending Work Check-In This sounds like the 3rd incarnation of this phenomenon where employers try to take advantage of the situation. Like they did when workers first started having work related email accounts and the ones that had computers at home and could check into their work related email account were expected to stay on top of all their email all the time, until there was legislation against it. Then came the company cellphone given to employees and it was used like an electronic leash so the employer could call them at all hours of the day and night to keep track of their whereabouts and activities and then to demand that they use it to call customers even after normal working hours etc... So of course now that there's no one else keeping eyes on each other to prove the amount of actual time they're working employers are loving that situation too because now they're using that as an excuse to say "well how do I know you're putting in the hours you say you are, because you were more productive at the office?" (That's an exact quote that someone I know who works from home for Air Canada, said her boss said to her and her husband said, she actually works more hours now  than she did when she was going to work, but not getting paid more). So this doesn't surprise me in the least as they did it before and will do it again too, the next time there's a new situation or technology that comes along that they think they can use to force their employees to do more work for the same amount of money.

England to demand vaccination proof for clubs, mass events Doesn't surprise me. Seems like they're almost in lock step with the gestapo here in QC.

Vaccines for kids not likely until after Christmas

Politics the reason Canada has surpassed U.S. on COVID vaccines, Fauci says Actually I think it has more to do with mind games where the gov't was constantly keeping Cdns on their toes wondering when or if we'd get any vaccines and if we did, if we'd be able to get a dose (even just one shot) before we ran out and couldn't get anymore for a long time. That's what I think it had to do with.  Being psyched into believing we might be left behind and not get a shot, let alone a second one. So everyone scrambled to be ahead of everyone else, for fear there might not be any doses left by the time it got around to us.

Otherwise the typhoon is on it's way, which will bring heavy rain, the virus has breached containment.... So what else was there besides an earthquake? I threw Mt. Fuji's eruption in there for good measure.

Chris Selley: Ottawa’s awful border management should be a ballot question  First Mr. Selley I think you have us confused with the US, since Canada does not have questions on their election ballots, just do you want to vote for this jerk, that jerk, or some other equally braindead lying jerk? That's all. That't the only question on our ballots that I've ever seen.  But if you want to make that an election issue, how about we make all of it from the time Mr. Nitwit Dressup took office in 2015, with him trying to push Islam down our throats, showing favouritism to them over and above all the rest of the religions including his own Catholic religion (where more than 40 churches have been burned to the ground since the unmarked graves scandal started - he doesn't mention a thing about those. But if they were mosques he'd be jumping up and down yelling and screaming about hate crimes and racism). Then there's the mass genocide he presided over aka coronavirus and how him Tam and Haggydodo not only let the virus in they welcomed it with open arms as they didn't want to offend anyone (least of all the Chinese - who incidentally have no qualms about offending us any)  by closing the border or imposing mandatory quarantines on those who came into the country from China and may have had it. Nope but he had no problem quarantining planeloads of Canadians at CFBs in  Trenton and other areas and commandeering a hotel in Cornwall for them to stay at for 2 weeks. Meanwhile he had no problems letting all the seniors in seniors homes die not just from the virus but from abandonment which caused them to starve to death, to the SNC Lavellin affair, accepting gifts from the great Kahn or is that the Great Con? Importing potential terrorists on our dime at $10,000 a head. Giving taxpayers dollars to convicted terrorists to the tune of $30,000,000 - ten to each of the three he gave money to. Maybe the rest of the Canadian population has forgotten about all those crimes that he ought to be charged with not the least of which is negligence and derelict of duty causing mass senicide and genicide. That ought to lock him up for all eternity and then some. So I think those should be but a few of the election questions, the border issue is the least of our problems at the moment I think.

Public health orders enforced in provincial parks despite easing of some COVID-19 restrictions Wow! Those are some hefty gouge your eyes out fines there Pallister!

Some animal rescues warn pet surrenders are rising as pre-pandemic life returns That's so sad. My belief is when you adopt an animal it's like you adopted a kid. And when life gets rough or you can't find a place to live that accepts kids you don't take the kid back to the adoption agency you find a place that does accept kids even if it's not the greatest place and to your liking and if you have to work you find ways to have your kid taken care of while you work. Even if you have to hire someone to do that for you, like a babysitter.  But you don't take pets back to animal shelters because you went back to work, it's not the pet's fault.

Border reopening plan facing roadblock as thousands of border officials consider strike action hehehe... Good! I hope they're on strike for the next year or so until the plandemic is over with as we don't need them bringing their viruses here and they will. 

Quebec's vaccination passport plan threatens to infringe on 'freedom of movement,' expert says Oh and knowing the wanna be dictators in power at the moment, they're going to mandate that ALL data collected by all establishments that use those passports to allow people in, will have to be sent to the gov't on a regular basis. Then the gov't is going to use that to track us and our habits. They'll see that so and so likes to go to this restaurant quite often and they go to that bar every Friday night and to this gym 3 times a week and to that hair stylist once every 2 weeks and so on. So that they can pretty well predict where we'll be any given day at any given time - so if they want to pick us up, they know where to go to get us if we're not home. Or if they demand that the establishment not only sends the date and time you were there but all the particulars of your visit. So say you bought a meal at that restaurant you go to quite often and it cost $30.85 and you left a 15% tip , but then you went to that bar you frequent on Friday nights and spent a whopping $2,000.00 buying everyone the bar drinks and left another15% tip (which in that case is $300) but you make minimum wage and you have no credit cards and no debts - ergo whatever you make is used to pay bills and your cost of living - so you shouldn't have this kind of money to throw around buying drinks for everyone. So that red flag is sent to the CRA, who soon comes knocking on your door to audit you etc... You see where and how that can be used? Without you even knowing about it, nor anyone outside the gov't offices knowing about it, for that matter, until they do, because people are suddenly being picked up at places they frequent or audited for having over spent on something rather frivolous etc... I trust the gov't as far as I can throw them and I know that if they don't start right off doing that, it'll eventually wind up being done as some brainiac in the gov'ts employ will come up with those ideas and more on how that data could be used. Another reason to sell and get the hell out of this province.

France requires COVID-19 pass for Eiffel Tower, other sites Another wanna be dictator government here. This reminds me so much of what our Czeh friends said about living and working in the USSR and Czecheslovakia while the communists were in power. They said if you worked somewhere  and lived a distance away (say a few miles) you'd be issued a paper that allows you to travel between those 2 destinations. Now let's say you want to go visit a friend or family member that lives in another part of the country or the Soviet Union, you'd have to apply for a special travel pass that would allow you to travel from your home to their home before you could go. If you wanted a TV or a car or anything that was deemed not necessary, you had to not only apply for it but prove that it would be essential to you and your life. If approved (which could take several years to get) you'd still have to pay for it - whichever one they chose for you - you couldn't chose the one you want, they chose for you. Unless you were the president it wasn't very likely you'd be getting anything too nice or special. It would serve it's purpose and be functional and that'd be about it. Sounds like we're well on our way there between France, the UK & QC.

Most baby boomers fear they’ll never be able to retire thanks to pandemic Annnndddddd TOTAL LACK OF HELP THEY GOT FROM THE GOV'T TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE PLANDEMIC!!!!! THEY WERE THE ONES WHO WERE FORBIDDEN TO GO OUT AND HAD TO STAY HOME AND SHOP  ONLINE USING  A CREDIT CARD IN ORDER TO PAY FOR STUFF. CREDIT CARDS HAVE INTEREST CHARGES ON THEM!!!!!!  NO ONE OFFERED TO HELP DEFRAY THOSE ADDITIONAL EXPENSES THEY INCURRED ON ACCOUNT OF THE PLANDEMICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So of course the plandemic did a number on us, but the gov't doesn't give a flying F about that or us for that matter.

Healthier living? 3 in 10 Americans take more supplements since the pandemic I did the reverse. I used to take a ton of supplements but I think for the most part they made me worse. I still take a few - I need potassium regularly and magnesium on a daily basis for sure. Otherwise I stopped taking the multivitamin and all the other supplements I was taking. Now I only take those 2 named above and occassionally 3, 1000 mg vitamin C pills if I feel a cold or something coming on. Taking those 3 pills altogether at the same time usually provides enough umph to knock whatever it is out.

Regina offering free Queen City Ex tickets for getting a COVID-19 vaccination Euuu that's a huge event there in Regina - it used to be called Buffalo Days when we lived there. Everyone young and old looked forward to it every year. As there were all kinds of entertainment for everyone from midways to concerts even to good old country fair kind of events. It was only there for a week or two - just long enough for everyone in the city to attend at least one day or night. I  myself loved it. I took it all in when I was there. So poorer people being able to get free tickets for getting a vaccine is maybe a little too tempting for some to pass up. I know I'd go for that deal if I were still there and still not vaccinated.

Surge of covid delta variant poses new political threat to Biden and his agenda

DOJ says it will not investigate Covid-19 nursing home deaths in New York  And they have the nerve to call themselves the DOJ which stands for Department of Justice, when there will be NO JUSTICET HERE FOR THOSE SENIORS WHO DIED, MAYBE NEEDLESSLY TOO. But hey, why bother to investigate? They're dead now, so they don't matter. Right? I bet that's not how their loved ones feel about it and would like for their deaths to be investigated to find out what really happened, like here in Monteral where nursing staff abandonned some patients at one nursing home and left them there to die of starvation and via other means.

Australian anti-lockdown protestors violently clash with police and yell anti-vaxxer slogans in rallies across the country in response to harsh new restrictions after just 176 new daily infections It's akin to taking a sledge hammer to kill a flea.

French protesters against Covid-19 health restrictions clash with police in Paris  Yay! You've got to stand your ground and fight for your rights before they strip them all away because once they're gone it's hard to get them back again.

Technical difficulties on first day to register in Quebec vaccination lottery Of course what's new!?! Everything is always bungled up in the beginning here in QC!  


Anyhow, that's it for me for now and maybe forever here due to Blogger's "technical difficulties".  If posting links continues to be as difficult as it was tonight, I won't be able to do it anymore. For some reason the link posting feature wasn't working right and even now I'm out typing the message editor so it takes some time for what I'm typing to appear and so I can't see how many spelling or grammatical mistakes I've inserted into the text and have to wait for it to appear to read it back. Then trying to fix typos and the like is "fun" to say the least because of it not appearing instantaneously while I type. So if I think I need to backspace 2 or 3 spaces to erase the letters that were tehre to relace them with the letters that should be there, but I backspaced too much or not enough, takes time for it to appear, same with fixing the letters in question. So it's aggravating to say the least. So if it's like this the next time I come to post links I may not bother. 

So everyone stay safe and take care of yourselves.
