Starting a New Era in the World and in......

 Covid 19

September 1, 2021

Starting today, September 1st here in Quebec, passports that I promulgated for is coming into use (well a form of them anyhow as I didn't want it in any kind of code, just basic typed/written card). Anyone wanting to do anything that isn't deemed a necessity by the provincial government will have to be bearing one of those certificates on them, in order to avail themselves of such services.  Though what I was promulgating for since February 2020 wasn't anything like this. It was simply a paper (maybe plasticized card) document certifying that you  had the virus and were immune to it (because in Feb. 2020 there were no vaccines against it at the time) and so should be safe to be around, once recovered. It was for a paper document that the bearer of such could read and understand what was there too. 
 
Not for some QR code that the human bearer can't decipher and so has no way of knowing which and how much personal information might be contained in that code, or what might be added and hidden under that code later on. 

Digital documents that do NOT contain some mysterious code that humans can't readily read and understand are NOT what I had in mind. Even a freaking bar code would not be acceptible to me. It was merely a vaccine record and proof much like all other documents we have. Put our picture on it too like the driver's license and medicare cards, if you must to make sure it's not a hacked vaccine record  like Legault's stolen code.  But DO NOT PUT MYSTERIOUS CODES & SYMBOLS ON IT THAT ONLY COMPUTERS CAN READ & UNDERSTAND. The bearer of that document has a right to read and understand it too! And I'm sorry but I don't know of any humans that are able to read and decipher not only QR codes but bar codes or any other kinds of computer generated codes either!!!!!! 
 
Because we humans have no way of knowing what sorts of information is hidden behind those codes, that those with the appropriate readers will have access to! And how long we'll be having to use those codes and if they'll just be another added document that we have to drag around with us everywhere for the rest of our lives, much like all the other gov't issued documents we have stuffing our wallets now. So if we have to continue to use it after the plandemic is over with, we'll need to be able to see and read and understand the information that's hidden behind those codes on us, I think. If we can't see, read and understand the information those codes contain then I don't see why we permit the gov'ts to force those things on us, because as I said before it could contain our whole life history and financial information etc for all we know, and not just the fact that we've had 2 jabs against this stupid ever mutating virus. 

It's one thing to carry a card in your wallet that's officially from the gov't and laminated against damage (like driver's license and medicare cards are) that you can show upon request and it's another to have a QR code that could contain anything, but that you still have to show other documentation with it as well, as in proof of identity. 
 
Just get the frigging thing done right and we won't have to have codes only computers can read. Use the pictures presently used for medicare cards and put it on a card, indicating the manufacture of the shots and when we got them (so the holder can read and understand the info as well) and make it official with all kinds of stamps, seals, watermarks and whatever and then laminate it and send it out to everyone. That would be a lot less suspicious than these stupid QR codes are right now. And a lot easier to use because all the required info - such as name and photo are on the same card as the name, date and manufacture of the vaccine jabs recieved. But hey, I guess we have braindead politicians to thank for this cumbersome BS suspicous crap of carrying cellphones with QR codes (maybe they have embedded tracking codes in them too?) and also having to show other ID as well.  
 
All I know is ours isn't going anywhere near a cellphone for any reason. Right now they're printed out and in my husband's wallet because the stupid paper folded up is too big to go into one of the card sized compartments in my wallet and I don't have a billfold section to it. Sooooo.... It's super cumbersome and idiotic all the way around.
 
And my husband wanted to try it out to see if the paper print out for us worked or not, so we went to a restaurant we normally go to and to our amazement it worked. I was kind of hoping it wouldn't work because I wasn't in the mood for anything there really.  Anyhow we stayed and had dinner there. Even though it wasn't exactly what I was in the mood for I enjoyed it anyhow and our waiter made the most awesome Long Island Ice Teas and Mai Tais. In fact, I think it's probably the best Long Island Iced Tea I've ever had.  So we're fresh back from trying out the paper print out passports and a delicious restaurant meal (even if it's not exactly what I had in mind for dinner). So we're among the first guinea pigs to try those things out. Despite the fact, that I never wanted to use it at all, if I didn't have to and tonight was such a case, where I didn/'t have to, but wound up using it anyhow, out of curiousity.
 
On top of that, I started writing this around 1:30pm this afternoon. It's now 8:53pm, which means I resumed writing this about 10 minutes ago now, so 8:45pm or so. Where have I been except to the restaurant to keep me away from this? Where you might ask? 
 
Trying to salvage what my whipper snipper happy husband cut down in my perennial garden. Very few things grew in it this year, primarily because of the weather, but the few things that did, and just started to get revived from the recent rainfall we had, after a scorching and pretty dry summer we had, he decided were getting too tall and needed to be cut down. So he cut down my onions among other things, but the onions were the only things that were salvagable, because all he mangled were the stems. The onions were still buried in the soil and the self propagating onion bulbs atop each stem were still pretty much intact too. So I had to get the onions dug up and then find all the onion bulbs all over the garden (whipper snippers can fling things far and wide, let me tell ya). I finally found all the bulbs (I think) and put them in a jar for any future use I might have for them - like say another perennial garden (that I'm going to make husband proof - by making the surroundings look like they were designed by someone in estrogen overload - pink and frills and bows as far and wide as the eye can see, if I can, might even throw in some glitter and sparkling sequins too just to make doubly sure (though that'll likely attract the crows as they like bright shiny things)  - that even makes me cringe, but it'll definitely keep him far away from it).  
 
I can't win when it comes to gardening. I'm either battling events beyond my control (like demands put upon me by others or just things that has to be done now despite what might have to be done in the garden at the same time), nature & the elements, garden pests (like rabbits, birds, and other animals), bugs, plant disease,  my own health and my freaking lawn mower, chainsaw, whipper snipper happy husband who has to cut down everything that's taller than a blade of grass on our lawn. So most years it's a wonder I get anything at all out of it. This year I got even less because essentially besides the rhubarb, chives, mint and tarragon, the only other things left to get were the onions but at the end of the growing season, not now.  I got a large bag full of those and a whole jar full of the onion bulbs - enough to seed an acre or two with just onion bulbs now.

So now I have a bunch of small onions that basically aren't much good for anything besides pickling. So I'm going to have to try to find a decent sweet pickled onion recipe - like the small sweet pickled pearl onions we buy in stores, if I can find a similar recipe that is. I don't want just pickling brine (aka vinegar, water & salt) for it, as they're already strong onions. I want something that will mellow the flavour out and soften them up a bit. As they're really hard. The hardest onions I've ever come across in my entire life. I don't know what kind they are. A neighbour of ours who's from the Dominican Republic gave them to me and said they were "special onions", when he planted them in our garden. That's all I know, but when you want a strong onion flavour for something, they're the onions to go to. 

On top of that I had to stop my husband from cutting down the asparagus ferns, as they have tons of seeds on them and I want to gather those - as those plants are the only asparagus I've ever had that actually grew. I've had aspargus seeds and seedlings that I've planted several times over the years in well delineated spots that were strictly off limits to my chop happy husband (and he didn't touch those areas for sure, I know that by the plant growth that was in those areas), but the asparagus never grew. I finally got a few seedlings from a nursey and planted them a few years ago. 3/4s of them grew, FINALLY.  So I want to keep the seeds from those plants for replanting (if we sell & move) if I can, as I think I'd stand a better chance at getting something from those seeds than I would any other seeds or seedlings.  And yes, I'm aware of the time it takes for asparagus to grow - up to 5 years. But trust me after being here for 35 years we've had lots of 5 year intervals where nothing grew at all. So we're well aware of that and that's why I want the seeds from these ferns before he gets whipper snipper happy on them too.

So um yeah, because of that, I'm not apt to get too many headlines posted in this post tonight, but I'll try my best. So here we go:


How to escape the 'productivity trap' Remote workers are being especially hard hit by this, as more seems to be expected from them then they'd be required to do if they worked in the office.

 


Many U.S. workers unaware of COVID-19 sick leave protections Maybe that's part of the problem in the US and why the virus is spreading so rampantly, because sick people are going to work and spreading the virus around, because they're unaware of those protections. So the gov'ts should do a better job of making those protections known to their populations if they want people to take time off work while sick, so they don't spread it to so many more people. I mean hello, that should be a no freaking brainer. It's sad that that needs to be pointed out. But then from what I've seen of elected politicians in both countries (Canada & US)  having an IQ higher than their shoe size is forbidden and they won't get elected if their IQs are too high. 
 
Woman becomes first young adult with brain inflammation from mild case of COVID This virus has no shortage of ways of causing problems to us, it seems. That's a scary thought, in and of itself.

Back-to-school COVID jitters have parents and teachers more anxious than ever before Considering the vaccines don't seem to be providing all that great of protections for us, I can understand them.

 
France, Italy Require Covid-19 Passes for Restaurants, Bars  As do we here in QC also, as you might've gathered by my long winded spiel above.

 

Where does Quebec's vaccine passport plan leave Canadians from other provinces and Americans? I personally don't even understand why we even care where it leaves Americans!!!!! As far as I'm concerned they shouldn't be allowed in this country with their sky rocketing rates of infection going on there and us not being allowed in there despite lower infection rates and higher fully vaccinated rates!

 

Israel faces COVID surge despite sweeping vaccinations That doesn't say too much for the vaccines themselves does it!?! If they were decent 100% viable vaccines they wouldn't be having those problems. 
 
Nurse in Germany suspected of switching COVID vaccine with saline solution  There's malicious people in every profession and all over the place. 

Stevie Nicks cancels all 2021 performances over coronavirus I guess at this stage of her career and life, she doesn't have to worry about money, so other things are probably bigger considerations for her when planning her concerts than just making more money. 

Vaccines, Masks, And More: What Can Stop Covid Delta Variant Hmmm.... I think it'll take more than masks and vaccines because if that were the case we people who are fully vaccinated and masked up wouldn't be getting it too.

What Everyone Should Know About the New Lambda COVID-19 Variant I read that article and I still don't know what it is that we should know except that they are still studying it themselves and still don't know that much about it.

We won't know how dangerous COVID-19's Delta variant is for children until after school starts And why are we experimenting with full regular school schedules and classrooms? Won't it be a little late when a whole school's worth of kids is shut up in isolation or the hospitals ICUs on ventilators? Do we really want to subject our kids to that, I wonder? Why not just start off in incremental steps, like say half the school's worth of kids going half days and the other half of kids the other half of the days (like say all kids in odd numbered grades attending classes in the mornings and the even numbered grades attending classes in the afternoons). When it's been established that there's no problem with that, then maybe a half a day every 2nd day with a whole day the every other day. So Monday's 1/2s Tuesdays whole Wednesdays 1/2 Thrusdays whole and Fridays 1/2 for while to see if on the whole days that many kids can be in the school at the same time without any problems and if it goes well, then whole days 5 days a week for all. Instead of just throwing them all in all at the same time to see how it goes. What if it goes disasterously wrong? What then? It's easier to help/fix a little rather than a lot all at the same time. If you get what I'm saying. Like my husband says it's too complicated for them to figure or work that out.

New data on coronavirus vaccine effectiveness may be "a wakeup call" There's another study that discovered that Moderna's vaccine provides almost 3x the amount of antibodies in the blood compared to Pfizer's which will be posted on this blog. If not tonight, eventually, when I get around to that particular bookmarked headline.

A Black Market in COVID-19 Vaccination Cards Was Inevitable Yet another reason we shouldn't have opened our borders to the US considering the high infection rate coupled with black market vaccine cards.... I mean we're just asking for trouble here in Canada. As if we don't already have enough trouble of our own to deal with.

Hawaii to reimpose COVID-19 restrictions as Delta variant surges Canada should do the same. But of course numbnuts had to call an election so in effect we have no one to do such things in gov't at the moment. 

 
'No doubt' Canada now in 4th wave of COVID-19 as cases spike across much of the country After awhile we'll have gone through so many waves we'll be sick of counting them and so will stop. But like I said before, it's neverending. They'll just keep right on coming until they get the vaccines right and have a vaccine campaign like they did in 2009 where the entire world or just about, got inoculated against the virus in a matter of a few weeks to a few months. None of this drag your ash forever and year campaign like we have now.


 
The developer of the AstraZeneca shot says the Delta variant has made herd immunity impossible because vaccinated people can still transmit the virus  Well you know what!?! If you vaccine manufacturers got your acts together and decided to stop f'n around with vials full of homeopathic vaccines and made some real vaccines that worked like a vaccine should, we would be able to get rid of the virus. So stop laying the blame on everything else when it's your failings that this virus is still making the rounds. It must be nice to be able to sell faulty sheite and collect a fortune for it from the gov'ts and not have to take it back (can't get back all the stuff that's already been injected into people's arms) and issue a refund for it. You companies are almost as much a shyster as organized crime is or at the very least unreputable insurance companies (you know the ones who love to take your money and issue policies but when time comes to pay they fight it tooth and nail and refuse to unless taken to court and forced to). So stop laying the blame everywhere else and admit your shoddy crappy products don't work and FIX THEM SO THEY DO!!!!!!

How an Ontario man's forgotten email password resulted in a $6,255 Quarantine Act fine at the U.S. border I swear to F'n gawd, I wish I had a rocket launcher to shoot some mother f'n over the top SS gestapo bootied gov'ts. Poor unsuspecting and BERATED (the more he was berated I bet the more befuddled he became and the more befuddled the less he remembered of anything) VICTIMS of this gestapo regime are robbed alive in order for them to use it to pay down the deficit. That's how it's getting paid down by robbing poor gestapo victims blind in order to do so!

 
 
Some NYC Restaurants Pushing Back Against Vaccine Mandate: ‘I Just Don’t Think That We’re Gonna Be The Vaccination Police’  Too bad the little sheeple here in Canada don't mind being kowtowed into doing the gov'ts dirty work for them. 

Broward County hospital admissions lead US, as Florida COVID cases hit another daily high at 24,753 Wow! That's a massive huge number for a single state! Our whole country doesn't even register that many in a month usually! 

Poll Reveals 1 In 3 Florida Pet Owners Experiencing Post-Pandemic Pet Regret Those poor pets. It's people like them, that I worry about having kids because if they treat their kids the way they treat their pets, no wonder there's so many messed up, suicidal, drug addicted kids out there. 
 
Covid-19 Vaccine Scammers Target Authorities in Dozens of Countries Including Italy and Colombia  It's a wonder the universal idiot in charge of Canada didn't give them the keys to the kingdom in exchange for a few false promises... 

Israel, Widely Vaccinated, Suffers Another Covid-19 Surge  A testament to how efficace and wonderful the vaccines are. Or in this case Pfizer is.

New Zealand hopes to relax border controls next year Brder controls - a foreign concept to Mr. Dressup Waterhole.
 

COVID-19 in Canada: 'A fourth wave is underway' -- and one group is leading transmission, Dr. Theresa Tam says What group is that? The witch doctor group? Or how about the gestapo gov't group? No?  What about the fake health anythings that masquerade as health ministers across this country? Could they be the ones leading the transmissions? Seems likely to me given all their BS policies that haven't done a damned thing except deprive people of their freedoms, rights and monies (in the way of excessively brutal fines for everything from having a lousey memory to walking 2 millimeters too close to someone else).


The most vaccine-hesitant group of all? PhDs Hmmm wondering if maybe they know something the rest of us don't. Undoubtedly, with their PhDs they've been able to examine all the data and evidence and literature on the subject and know a BS story when they smell one and this is probably just exactly what that smells like to them too. They're probably right about it too.

Hundreds of students in Palm Beach County forced to quarantine because of COVID days after school starts Already!?!? Like I talked about above, the stupidity of throwing all the students in a school together all at once and all at the same time without starting out incrementally in stages to see how it goes first. Nope, obviously it was way too complicated for school authorities there to figure out on their own and so this is the result of it.

Update: Three Broward County Educators Lose Battle With COVID-19 In Less Than 24 Hours Yup but why cut back the number of students on campus at any one time (and thus teachers as a result of that) and do it incrementally? Why do it that way when you can do it the way you're doing it now and ensure as many students and teachers as possible gets it all at once and maybe dies off all at once too!??

I swear to gawd, if anyone out there alive today stopped and thought about anything for longer than a microsecond, the rest of us would  be in trouble because they'd have out thought the majority of us on any one subject at any one time. Seriously, it's just super pathetic how quick to act and slow to think everyone's become. The gov't or boss says, so without thinking or questioning they do.... And then we see results like that.....

 

Vast majority of Canadians in favour of proof of COVID-19 vaccination: Yahoo/Maru poll I have a problem with polls in that pollsters always manage to find the results their client is looking for and as we get the results of these polls given to us, we rarely get the name of their clients who commissioned those polls. That's one problem  another is unknown pollsters like who the F is Maru anyhow?

 
 
US coronavirus: 'This is starting to look really ominous in the South,' expert says, as US is among nations with highest rate of new cases  Yup and they have a nerve telling their citizens not to travel to Canada because of our case rates. Like I said above, we don't even get in the 20,000 range number of cases in one month like Florida's been having in 1 day recently. I don't think we ever had even close 3,000 cases in a single day COUNTRY WIDE NOT JUST IN A SINGLE PROVINCE like the STATE OF FLORIDA IS A SINGLE STATE & NOT COUNTRY WIDE.

Federal government to require vaccines for air, rail travellers What about interprovincial buses? Are they going to require passengers to be fully vaccinated too?

 

 
Wearing Visible Proof Of Covid Vaccination Status Might Be Coming Soon To Film & TV Productions What's next? Tattooing on your forehead? Or perhaps on top of your right hand? What about an injectable chip that can be read with some kind of scanner? Would that do it for you?

France sees fifth weekend of protests against Macron Covid pass Good except they shouldn't let up on the weekdays! It should be non stop protests - 24/7 until the wanna be dictators get the message.

Sydney lockdown fines increased to $3,700, stay-at-home orders extended Yup, another jack bootied gov't who wants to pay off their deficits via the fines on their poor gestapo victims backs. It's gov'ts like these that I would love to see overthrown and the members of given the same treatment their gave their constituents while in power before placed in front of a firing squad. And we have a few of those gov'ts here in Canada too. 

Canada to buy 40 million Moderna COVID-19 doses in next two years: Trudeau So folks.... What do you think that's for? Just to stockpile and let spoil or to use? If it's to use how do you think they're going to get us to accept those shots if not via a mandated booster shot (that is if you want to keep your passport you'll have to get too, or you'll be back to square one like the totally unvaccinated are now). That's what's coming and it's not even because we need it, it's because they bought it and if they don't want to waste the money spent on it, they'll have to use it and who are they going to use 40 million shots on if not the entire Cdn population? They're certainly not going to use them all on the parliamentarians themselves or even all the Federal employees, as there's no where near enough of them to take care of 40 million shots. So it's going to be us folks. Just a heads up, in case you don't see this coming. It's coming alright and from a long ways off, before it's even determined the virus will still be around in 2 years from now.

Does COVID cause babies to develop differently? - prelim data Wow.... That does not sound good and it's not necessarily because the mother or infant had covid either. So is it the isolation? In that infants aren't being as exposed to different people (and ways of talking) and stimuli as before? Because everyone was forced to stay home and isolate? So no daycare, few outside trips to parks, libraries, play dates, or even family friends or extended family - like grandparents - so less people playing with, talking to and reading to the kids?

Trudeau says Canadians deserve a say at pivotal moment, triggers Sept. 20 election The excuse was we deserve a say in how we finish the fight against Covid. We "deserve a say", like he'll listen. That little self centered, self entitled, self-serving prick doesn't listen to anyone but himself. 

Police use tear gas at Paris COVID pass demo Here in Montreal the crowds don't have to be protesting anything but rather celebrating stuff like when the Canadiens were in contention for the Stanley Cup and won a few hockey games towards that goal. Crowds outside the Bell Center in downtown Montreal were sprayed with some noxious gases of some kind - tear gas I think because I remember seeing the CTV girl reporter Kelly Greg with tears in her eyes trying to report on what was happening there. So imagine what they do when there's an actual protest against something go on and what they use on the crowds then.

BONK-I BEACH Couple caught having sex on Bondi beach cliff top in front of shocked sunbathers during Sydney lockdown To me what's shocking here, is that people are actually allowed to sunbath on the beach during lockdown. Lockdowns here were strict where we were barely allowed to go out for walks and if we did we had better not have been too close to anyone else who might've been out walking too. Swimming and sunbathing were totally prohibited. They even closed the beaches and pools down in the summertime until there was a loud outcry about the inhumanity of that - making kids and people suffer in the heat.

One Virus Case Puts New Zealand Into Nationwide Lockdown Wow... Just wow.... Does anyone not see and realize what's going on here? All 3 commonwealth countries - OZ, NZ and Can are ALL practicing draconian authoritarian rule using this virus as an excuse and is this perhaps a dry run for future endeavours like perhaps declaring all rights null and void and everyone gets house arrest until or unless they comply with all gov't rules and measuers and in which case they get a pass permitting them to do things like leave the house and buy food? Otherwise they get to stay home and starve maybe? I mean all 3 countries are just using over the top measures supposedly against this virus. But if that's the case, then why did NZ lockdown the whole nation? You can't possibly expect me nor anyone else for that matter to believe the whole nation as small as it is, came into contact with that one person? So since it's one person, why not just lockdown that person, and ALL of their contacts - from family members and their contacts, to colleagues and their contacts and their kids contacts (teachers and classes). I mean IF we want to make a tree of all the contacts there's probably 3-4 levels on it with maybe 10 branches (points of contact like work, school, stores)  at the most and 1,000 leaves (individuals) to lockdown. The rest of the nation should be free to carry on as per usual. Only when I say lockdown here I mean the 40 days a normal quarantine comprises, rather than the skimpy 10-14 days everyone is advocating these days.  Do that and I guarantee you in 40 days your 1 case and all consequential cases will be eradicated, without any drastic shutdown of society at large. But nooooooo that's not a good practice run for the upcoming BS. So of course they can't do it that way.  They have to go the draconian gestapo way, instead.

Weak Retail Sales Offer Preview of Coming Attractions as Delta Variant Spreads Well what else can you expect when people aren't sure if they'll be able to afford to buy food tomorrow, the way the prices keeps sky rocketing! Or they don't have jobs, or the goods they want to buy aren't available due to shortages for one lame reason or another, or they just don't feel the need to buy stuff like it was going out of style and learned over the past 18 months or so to be content with what they already have due to forced lockdowns and store closures.

After a Year Without Rowdy Tourists, European Cities Want to Keep It That Way 

Ontario announces mandatory vaccine plans for health, education workers; 3rd doses for some Monkey see, monkey do. They've got to mirror whatever Legault & DuMbe do here in QC.

These three Quebec regions are currently on the health minister's COVID-19 radar

Quebec reports 323 new COVID-19 cases, 67 per cent of those were unvaccinated So that means almost 1/3rd of the cases WERE VACCINATED. So again, what's the point of that passport declaring someone's been fully vaccinated?

COVID-19 updates, Aug. 16: Quebec’s daily case count could soar to 2,000, Legault warns Remember those little words like "could", "would" and "should" doesn't mean anything as they are not absolutes, they are mere possibilities and it doesn't mean because it's possible that it WILL happen, only that it could. It's a lot like saying tomorrow morning the moon could crash into the earth. I guess theoretically it could, if something else out there unforeseen went askew causing it to, but it doesn't mean it will, nor that there's any other forces out there that will so affect it, as to cause that. Those "could"s & "should"s are trigger scaremongering tactic words. To scare people into compliance. They'd rather do that then to come flat out and mandate vaccines because then they might be held liable under the law for abrogations of rights, or even possibly for lawsuits involving wrongful deaths or serious harm brought by those who were injured by the vaccines or families of those who died from the vaccines, because they were forced to take it by the gov't. So they'd rather scare people into taking the vaccines of their own volition that way if anything happens they can't hold the gov't responsible because they can weasle out of it by saying they never said anyone absolutely had to get vaccinated by law, that it was always only suggestions and people did it voluntarily.

Winners of Manitoba’s vaccine lottery announced  I'd like to say that either I or my husband will be the big million dollar winner this coming Friday here in QC. Though I'm positive I won't be because I have an English name, however my husband has a 100% typical French Canadian name - you couldn't get a name more typically French Cdn if you tried, trust me. So he stands a chance, but he's not a positive thinker so I don't think so, because you attract to you whatever your mind desires or can percieve of - so he hasn't got that universal magnetism required to attract such great  things to him. Mostly it's either mundane, boring or who give's a sheite stuff he attracts to himself. In other words not always the greatest things. But maybe this time the universe will just feel sorry for him and pick him anyhow. Well hey he/we have as much chance as anyone else does - actually he has a better chance than me, just because of his name. I'm going to say, he will be chosen this Friday, just because I'm a positive thinker.

COVID-19: Province to roll out school vaccine clinics; Ontario reports 526 new cases with 353 of those identified in unvaccinated people So that's 173 vaccinated people with only 60 of them partially vaccinated, which leaves 113 FULLY vaccinated. That's still an awful lot of people who are fully vaccinated getting this virus. I wish though they started keeping track of the ones who had vaccinations which vaccinations they got. Like are they mostly Pfizer, or Astra Zeneca or Moderna or what or an equal mix of the three? So we have an idea of which vaccine seems to be providing better protection, out of the 3. 

Fifteen children got COVID-19 after kid with symptoms sent to Ontario childcare centre  So 15 PRESCHOOLERS at ONE daycare WHERE ONE KID WITH SYMPTOMS WENT, GOT COVID. Despite the fact they/'ve been telling us over and over again that kids that young only carried and spread the virus but didn't actually come down with symptoms from it. Hmmmmmm.... Seems to have been plenty contagious amongst those kids there.....

COVID-19 in Quebec: What you need to know on Tuesday

Unprecedented COVID-19 spending makes economic recovery top election issue That's never going to happen. Waterhole has dug us into a hole so deep the only way we'll ever get out of it again is if the IMF, WEF and World Bank come along and in exchange throwing us a rope long enough to hang ourselves with, they get all our resources and assets we have now and centuries into the future. That's the only way we'll have an economic recovery.

Four New Travel-Related Cases of COVID-19 in NL, Another Two Recoveries

Did you lose your B.C. COVID-19 immunization card? Here is what to do 

Imagine COVID-19 in a world with water and sanitation for all Since it's a respiratory illness to start with, where it's inhaled, I doubt sanitation good or bad would have that much of an impact on the spread of it. I'm not saying that there shouldn't be sanitation for all, I'm just saying that this virus is inhaled and clean hands or feet or whatever isn't going to change much about it. That hand sanitizing BS I've stopped practicing long ago when my hands were getting dried and cracking because of it. Now I only do it when I have to and that's upon entry to a commercial establishment with the hand sanitizer near the door and that's all. I used to hand sanitize again soon as I got in our car with our own private little bottle we brought along in the car. Not any more. Sanitizing because I have to to get into the store is more than enough for me and trust me, after going through the store and coming home and putting things away I sometimes ate a snack or a meal without thinking twice about it and I was never any worse for the wear. Not even a slight cold or sore throat or anything of the sort. So I'm sorry if I don't go along with that unadulterated fairytale crap here. I know there are a lot of underprivileged areas in the world that require clean water as a matter of a basic human right and they don't have it. I know that. I wish they did have it and could have it tomorrow, so they could wash their hands until the cows came home or their hearts content. I don't wish to deprive anyone of water or the ability to wash their hands or the rest of their body either. I just abhor people spewing BS and fairytales about how little covid there would be in the world if we all just washed and sanitized our hands until they bled. Because that's just f'n nonsensical BS, especially since it's a RESPIRATORY DISEASE THAT PEOPLE CATCH BY INHALING THE VIRUS. It has SFA to do with soap, water, sanitizer, or anything of the sort, unless you have the virus on your hands and stick them up your nostrils. I mean I've proven that sticking food my hands touched in my mouth or even quite possibly my fingers too, didn't cause any problems so I don't see why such actions would cause anyone else problems either - unless they have a compromised immune system. The virus being a respiratory virus needs to infect your respiratory system, which it's not going to do if you swallow it with your food, drink or just plain saliva as that goes to your stomach and NOT your lungs, which is where that virus needs to head to start to do it's damage. If it goes to your stomach you stomach acid will attack and kill it before it gets a chance to do anything. I mean gawd people just use your brains for once and figure this simple sheite out on your own. Or did any of you take any form of health or human anatomy courses in school at all? I mean y'all do realize your brains are in your head, your nose has airways that goes to your lungs, your eyes are connected to an optic nerve in your brain, your lungs, heart, liver, stomach and other small organs like gall bladder and pancreas are all in your torso (which is protected by your ribcage) I mean you know all of that already don't you? So if that's the case, how come you can't figure simple sheite like the fact that the virus needs to get to the lungs to do it's damage first before going to the bloodstream to do further damage whereas if it gets swallowed, your stomach acid will kill it before it can do anything? I mean gawd it's a no freaking brainer here people. So continue to sanitize and wash your hands until they bleed if it puts your mind at ease, but honestly it's not helping you at all. Standard normal daily hygiene should be sufficient without having to wash or sanitize your hands every 5 minutes of the day.

Coronavirus in Russia: The Latest News | Sept. 2

WHL mandates jabs for all Do the players for that league get paid? Like as if they were employees even if they're rather badly paid? Because if not and it's strictly a league where players play for fun and at their own expense (in other words like when my brother played he had to pay for all his goalie equipment, jerseys, sticks, helmets, even for the trips they went on when they were competing against other out of province teams, he had to pay his own way or fair share). So if that's what that league is, something like that, I don't think they can mandate vaccines for all. If on the other hand they pay their players and for all their equipment and trip costs then yeah I guess they could because they'd be like they were their employers.

The Health and Legal Consequences of Using a Fake COVID-19 Vaccination Card 

U.S. border agents say they're seizing counterfeit COVID-19 vaccination cards from China 'every night' From China? I dunno there's a story just above this headline that talks about fake vaccination cards being rampant in the US - and I assume they're all made in basements right there in the US.

To the point where she absolutely does NOT want the vaccine at all and is even considering giving up her career over it if it comes to that, which she's hoping won't come to that. 

Federal agents seize thousands of fake covid vaccination cards destined for locations across U.S. And the Chinese didn't have anything to do with creating the virus and releasing it to the environment eh???? BS. The fact that they're trying to help the virus spread farther still using fake vaccination cards, doesn't tell you anything???  I know it's probably not the gov't doing the fake card scams and probably Chinese scam artists, but still.

Trudeau warns of 'consequences' for public servants who duck COVID-19 shots I hope he faces consequences for ducking his responsibilities as PM in keeping us safe from harm and let the virus into the country by refusing to close the border or ENFORCE STRICT QUARANTINE for the Chinese nationals that first entered the country with it and were under "voluntary isolation" - meaning the minute it didn't suit them they could go out because it was only voluntary. I hope he faces consequences for his derelict of duties that allowed hundreds if not thousands of seniors to die of covid for senicide and for the mass genocide he caused by NOT closing borders when it was prudent to do so. By March it had already entered the country and was running rampant. The Borders should've been closed the very day they learned about what was going on in Wuhan China. Some might want to say that was January 20 something 2020, but actually if anyone watches the news you'd have seen Chinese doctors in Wuhan having nervous breakdowns because of the hundreds of patients a day that they were seeing all with the same symptoms, so you'd have known right then and there to close the borders especially to those coming from China. But Tam the witch doctor didn't want that because she's Chinese and I guess maybe had friends and relatives that she wanted to get into this country first before the borders closed. So her and Waterhole need to face the consequences of that.  Without question.

Federal government drops court quest to keep lab documents under wraps These are the people suspected of stealing the documents and work done on the CanSinovac vaccine - the supposed to be collaboration between Canada and China to make a vaccine against the virus. Except they absconded with all the data and materials back to China and decided to continue working on it alone. Which is just as well, as it turns out it's a lousy vaccine that doesn't work. So they can keep it all to themselves. 

Anyhow.... That's as far as I can make it in my bookmark file tonight before I pass out here on the keyboard. So until next time, take care & stay well.

Anddddd On It Goes

The Neverending COVID19 News

May 29, 2020

Having gone to the pharmacy today and talked to the pharmacist she told me something revealing. She said that the Quebec Association of Pharmacists put out in one of it's bulletins that there was a woman who had COVID19 and came to Quebec for the Christmas Holidays and it started spreading then (or the earliest case they know about). So she said she thinks I'm right about me having had COVID19 back in January (because I talked to her about it before, being unable to speak to my family doctor about it as she likes to take extended vacations to Romania - where she's from, so I couldn't see her after the holidays as she was still on vacation). Anyhow the pharmacist knew what I said about my symptoms, she also knows I was a nurse and so when she read that in a recent bulletin put out by the association, she said she believes I was right, that I did have it back when I said I had it. So that settles that then. I did have it. My husband even though he looked after me and was around me all the time I had it, didn't get it because a few months prior to COVID19 being unleashed on the world, our family doctor gave him a vaccination against viral pneumonia of all types (it's a one shot fits all for life kind of deal). 

When I can find the name of the vaccine he was given against the viral pneumonia, I'll post it for other seniors to ask for if they haven't had it yet (the shot I mean and not the virus). 

Now all I need is a test for antibodies to verify it once and for all and that's it.  So there's no more questions about was it here in early January, because we now know it was brought in around the Christmas holidays. Nice Christmas present to give Canadians eh?

Okay now on with the neverending stream of COVID19 news..... 

Tourist businesses face make-or-break summer as visitors stay home I'm sure a lot aren't staying home out of choice, but more out of necessity (as in can't afford to go anywhere) or due to draconian restrictions.

Coronavirus 'cover-up' is China's Chernobyl: White House adviser Probably, given that only since they're being blamed and shamed and pressed on this, are they now admitting welllll they might've had a few more deaths than they said. I'm sure though it's a lot more than the few more they're admitting to, but we'll never find out for sure.

Why reopening Montreal is a riskier bet than Legault is letting on Maybe because it's one of the hottest spots in North America but he won't admit it?


Canadians With Disabilities Left Out Of Federal Coronavirus Pandemic Funding And seniors too, considering this was about protecting the seniors, so you'd think that would include protecting them from poverty and winding up on the streets due to not being able to pay the extra 21% interest rate charges tacked onto all their purchases they've had to make via phone or online since mid-March. Basically the piddly amount announced for the seniors recently isn't nothing more than another kick in the head for them. It kind of reminds of me of when we had our kids - peers to the brats in parliament, and we got $7 a month in family allowance for them, when just one box of Pampers diapers cost more than that. Now family allowances are in the thousands of dollars a month if they have more than a couple of kids with an additional $300 per kid thrown at them not just once during this pandemic but twice, a far far far cry from what we got to raise our kids. Seniors have been paying taxes all their lives and getting nothing back at all for anything ever, really. But yet everyone else except the disabled, homeless and seniors keeps sticking their whole heads in the tax payers trough slurping up as much as their greedy guts can hold, while leaving us seniors (who paid the most into that trough) out in the cold and looking on. So much for "protect the seniors". I guess they can't see that their actions speak louder than their words, when they hang the seniors out to dry every opportunity that they get. 

Montreal fans struggle to get refund to postponed Elton John concert  Oh surprise surprise yet another entity that thinks it's financial woes are worse than everyday people's are - considering most of them lost their jobs and the amount of money Elton John gouges people for on a couple of tickets to see him play, would probably buy groceries for their family for a whole month. I'm getting so sick and tired of reading stories like this where the rich and powerful or at least richer than, don't want to give consumers back their money, while pleading poverty and hardship. What the hell (sorry about that but sometimes I just have to let it out) do they think the average person is going through right now? I wish there was a law somewhere that allowed governments to immediately seize all bank accounts and assets of companies that whined like this and refused to reimburse consumers who never got the services or goods they paid for due to the coronavirus, and used those funds and assets to reimburse the consumers on behalf of the whining no good for nothing companies who did that. That would stop this nonsense going on, like here and with the airlines and other such companies and services. Then they'd keep their greedy mouths shut and reimburse the people and get it over with. Then if need be plead poverty to the government afterwards if they could prove it. But don't make your paying clients be the ones to bail you out, it's not their fault a lockdown was declared or that you're losing money either. They had nothing to do with either and so shouldn't be responsible for paying for it. 

Cellphone tower set on fire in Saint-Henri Another one who believes that theory about cellphone tower radiation and COVID19. 

Accountability group calls for COVID-19 transparency, whistleblower protection A medical ombudsman should've been in existance forever or at least long before this virus came along, allowing for physicans to report other physicans because the way the College of Physicians is rigged is to protect all physicians and not necessarily to hold them to account. In most cases doctors are held to be above the law at the College of Physicians. So an ombudsman where you can go to report other physicians being a tad shady in their practices might cut down on a lot of problems. Problem number 1 that I can think of right off the bat to do with this particular pandemic is a doctor or doctors could've gone to that ombudsman to have Tam removed and stripped of her license when they saw that she wasn't responding correctly to the impending pandemic. Maybe then things wouldn't have been so bad, as they are now.

N.B. fears rising federal debt and sinking economy may squeeze poor provinces Oh it's not just the provinces that's going to get squeezed. It's everyone because he's made the federal debt skyrocket. On a previous page I have a link to the Canadian Debt clock posted.

Shoppers line up in downtown Montreal as retailers reopen to public  While the stores were closed, we desperately wanted them to reopen as my computer was broken and we needed a part for it, so my husband could fix it. But before they could reopen again he managed to work around so we don't need that part anymore, and got my computer working anyhow.

Newfoundland and Labrador offers $25M to support tourism sector through pandemic  So essentially they're supporting in province tourism and not to encourage tourists from out of province to go visit.

COVID-19: Can someone else use a family’s pool? Well regardless of what they say, a moose used someone's pool in Ottawa recently. That was a fun clip to see on the news. Something different besides the same old same old of COVID19 As per the news clip here; Moose in Ottawa Backyard Pool 
We need a little levity every now & then in here, I think.

Calls grow for internet to be declared essential  I guess this stems from the "work at home" rule everyone's been under since COVID19 struck.

Doctors face pay cuts, furloughs and supply shortages as coronavirus pushes primary care to the brink  This is in the US. So I don't know if the situation in Canada is any better, worse or different.





'I'm looking for the truth': States face criticism for COVID-19 data cover-ups Same here. For instance why is the info about the COVID patient in December in Quebec being circulated only in a bulletin for pharmacists and not publicized elsewhere? Why are they still trying to hide it from the public anyhow? I mean that would certainly absolve them of any guilt to do with the borders, because in December we didn't even really know about it, so couldn't have taken actions to keep it out, because as far as we were concerned there was no such ailment in the world as COVID19 then. 


More People Are Taking Drugs for Anxiety and Insomnia, and Doctors Are Worried hehehe.... Geez my husband and I are the exact opposite we need to take Wake Up pills to stay away otherwise we're dozing off everywhere all the time, we look like those glass cranes that bob for water in glasses of water, with our heads going up and down like that. I don't know what it is, but since this pandemic started we can't keep our eyes open. Maybe it's the monotony and boredom that's doing that, I don't know, all I know is we can't watch a show from start to finish without nodding off and then quiz each other on the parts we saw, so we can take what we saw with what the other saw and stitch it together to kind of make heads or tails out of it and maybe get most of the picture if not the full one.

Egypt’s doctors criticize government over virus ‘negligence’ The doctors in Canada aren't brave enough to do that even though there's no death penalty or lashes involved in criticizing our government.

Italian Leaders Threaten to Reimpose Restrictions After Sunshine Draws Out Crowds I think that's pretty much going to happen everywhere given how the masses behave together.




Ontario won't specify COVID-19 'hot spots' even as premier urges testing This is what I don't understand why governments won't do..... Is specify hotspots or danger zones for others to take note of and stay away from. It's almost as if they want people to wander into those places, totally unaware and then get it and spread it around in their communities. I mean I see no other reason for wanting to keep hotspots secret than that.


Bloc Leader Rips Liberals, Tories For Receiving Wage Subsidy It's not as though they need it. The pigs at the trough don't know when to quit and give others a turn, do they? Like maybe the seniors who've pretty much been ignored when it comes to helping them during this pandemic. 

Alberta's United Conservatives among parties seeking COVID-19 wage aid More oinkers at the trough. Wondering when any of them will ever be "protecting the seniors" with financial aid...

Chinese media says Wuhan had live virus The Chinese themselves are saying this, not Pompeo or other "ill informed" Americans.

A Polynesian Paradise Sacrificed Its Economy to Stay Virus-Free And they were among the very few smart nations out there to do so.

COVID-19: Half of Canadians think their governments are deliberately hiding information Well as of today I officially know they are, considering the Quebec association of Pharmacists knows that there was a COVID19 patient in Quebec around the Christmas Holidays, but yet the gov't is acting like it only just arrived in March a couple minutes before they decided to shut down. Why won't they admit that it was here earlier than they thought? That's what I want to know.

Scared Americans Desperate to Travel Are Buying Up ‘Covid Campers. I hope then in that case the Americans are allowed to travel between states, unlike here in Canada where most provinces have closed their borders to everyone including other Canadians from other provinces.

Thousands still flying into Canadian airports amid COVID-19 restrictions Like I said we have unbelievably slow learners heading up our gov't here in Canada. They need to go through the whole thing several times before they learn anything apparently. 

Husband of ReOpenNC leader says he’s ‘willing to kill people’ to fight government control I'm sure he's not the only one in the world that feels like that. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people all over the globe that have pretty much had it up to their eyeballs and are now sick and tired of it to the point where they'll kill to get their rights and freedoms back. 

As Covid-19 cases rise in 17 states, Americans still divided on whether masks should be mandated  Well I posted a link to a story on a previous page to a story about a study that pretty much demonstrated that surgical masks and homemade masks are useless. Only N95 masks and better (that being P100) are of much use protecting everyone from the virus. 

The benefits isolation can have on your work I guess there's maybe a few positive sides to isolation and this one of them.

Hide the silverware: Plastic forks rule as restaurants reopen Until the virus is beaten, plastic utensils, paper/styrofoam plates & glasses/cups are the way to go for backyard BBQs too. Where the plates, and everything is stacked and the guests pick up their plates and come to the table where the food is served by the hosts (that way only one person is touching the serving utensils) and canned drinks are the refreshments offered. When guests are finished they clean up after themselves putting all their plates etc in the exterior garbage can. That way there's minimal contact with everyone else's potential germs and everyone's happy.  


Thailand: Elephants on 'great migration' to survive coronavirus starvation It's even affecting the elephants in Thailand. As I keep saying there's so many different, takes, aspects and angles on this pandemic it's mind boggling sometimes.

Care home creates 'drive-through' visit Here in Canada in some cities like Ottawa and Halifax for instance, even looking in a patient's window was forbidden, so relatives couldn't even see their elders through closed and locked windows. So nothing so generous and thoughtful would be permitted here I don't think.




Armed with massive data pools, genealogy companies Ancestry, 23andMe begin COVID-19 research Wondering if that's even legal. If these companies have the right to use the DNA of people who paid for genealogical research. After all they never bought the DNA or DNA rights from those people, on the contrary it's my belief that the people paid them to run genealogical tests on their DNA and didn't sell them anything - no DNA & no rights to that DNA for research purposes. 

Coronavirus: I was in the stay-home-until-it's-safe camp. But I just can't take it anymore. I'm sure more and more people are starting to feel this way too.

'Draconian'? 'House arrest'? Coronavirus lockdowns prompt raft of lawsuits against states I hope that there's grounds for Canadians to sue their governments over this too, because there was absolutely no need to put everyone under house arrest like they did.


Nail salons, tattoo parlors and barber shops are finding creative ways to keep earning cash I'm not so sure that Canadian equivalents have found ways to make money during this crisis.




New York's stock exchange reopens — with masks and a waiver  And here is what the story has to say about that waiver, copying & pasting verbatim: 

Traders who go into the building will have to sign a waiver. While the Exchange is not making it public, The Wall Street Journal reported that it is an acknowledgement that returning to the floor could result in them “contracting COVID-19, respiratory failure, death, and transmitting COVID-19 to family or household members and others who may also suffer these effects.”





'Batman atmosphere': Mysterious lock picker opens parks across Paris at night  I guess someone wants to see others enjoying themselves.


These school bus drivers paid a touching tribute to their graduating seniors Very cool. Check out the pictures to see what I mean.

Drive-in cinema opening in Vaudreuil-Dorion during pandemic This might actually be fun. We haven't been to a drive-in movie since the early 80s and thought that they had all closed down back then. 

Heat wave forces cities to rethink how to offer heat relief under COVID-19 Well they're doing an excellent job for the preteen crowds, the same ones that don't think they're too big or too old for the little plastic kiddy pools parents can put in their own backyards without needing to drag them to these splash pads in public parks. But failing miserably at helping anyone else with the heat, particularly the elderly.

COVID-19 disinformation being spread by Russia, China, say experts CBC.... The masters of spin and fake news - who I actually caught in the act of putting their own spin on events to suit their own agenda, so I would take whatever they have to say about this with a whole box full of salt, nevermind just a grain. They lie like a rug, as a matter of habit.

Be prepared for a different kind of camping experience this summer, say resort communities Essentially just realize that you'll be confined to your camper/tent/rv and won't be allowed to socialize with anyone. Your kids won't be able to play with others and no one will be allowed to go swimming even in the ocean. So essential just one miserable mosquito swatting (as your only source of entertainment) vacation, from all I've read about what campers will and won't be allowed to do.



Coronavirus Australia stats: Covid-19 active and new cases, numbers, map and data update The reason why I have this headlines is because the other day when we went to buy our air conditioner there was a man in line behind us who said he was from Australia and that he couldn't believe what was going on here and how different it was from Australia and that they had only 100 deaths so far. So I researched for their case/death rates to see and sure enough he was right. Now 3 days later their death rate has only increased by 3 and as I don't even bother to keep up with the Canadian numbers I have no clue what our death rate over the last 3 days was, but I know it was higher than 3, even just right here in QC alone it was higher than 3 that's for sure!

America's meat problems are about to get worse  Not just America's, but pretty much everywhere around the world, I think, from all the stories I've read.

CAMH survey looks at binge-drinking, financial anxiety during COVID How is this news? Or even a surprise? Since I was a little kid, we've known that stressed adults drown their troubles in the bottom of booze bottles. Not all adults but enough that it's cliche.


A third of Americans now show signs of clinical anxiety or depression, Census Bureau finds So it's not just Canadians feeling it, going by this story.

The Stock Market and Consumer Sentiment Are Telling Different Stories That sounds an awful lot like in 2008 after the crash and Wall Street got bailed out but the average American didn't.

Salaries Get Chopped for Many Americans Who Manage to Keep Jobs That just doesn't seem right. Why are their salaries getting chopped? Is this just another ploy for the rich to keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer? Seems like it probably is.

Sex workers offer to limit customers to two positions which 'minimise the risk of transmitting coronavirus' to enable brothels to end lockdown in Switzerland  Okay, what can I say? When we're told to stay 2 meters apart to cut down on transmission, apparently there in Switzerland the virus works under other distancing measures and not the 2 meter measure.

Wanted in Hollywood: COVID-19 consultants to help keep sets safe Maybe they should ask the Swiss, as they've managed to figure out a way that 2 people can have sex without transmitting the virus.

Bible verse warning against 'religious masks' exposed after Pope's Sunday mass Referring to something completely different than a disease.... Referring to religious hypocriscy (saying & preaching one thing while believing and doing something else). Like I said angles and aspects and if anyone can find any way to tie anything no matter how remotely related it might be, to coronavirus they will.

Germany clamps down on SINGING over coronavirus fears: Choirs are silenced and hymns banned at church services after warnings that it spreads infectious droplets  I have a German friend that sang/sings (haven't heard from him in a while now and he's older than I am) in a choir and he used to enjoy that a lot and very often sent me MP3s of their singing. They were quite good. If he's still alive (and I hope he is), he'll be very sad that choirs are banned now.


China Drafts Sovereign Immunity Bill to Fight Global Coronavirus Lawsuits Good for them, but unless that's a bill adopted universally I don't think other countries will care if they think they're immune or not, especially when they get hauled before the world court. It's doubtful their immunity bill will stand up there. Because if that's all countries would have to do everytime they're taken to the world court, they would and then they'd all get off with all their crimes scot free. So I don't think it'll do them much good.

An ‘Avalanche of Evictions’ Could Be Bearing Down on America’s Renters Here in Canada too, from all the things I've been hearing and reading, it's a good possibility.

Manitoba premier says cheques will be sent out to low-income disabled persons Well at least Manitoba is willing to provide more financial help to their disabled. I just hope it's not an insulting little pittance like the Feds gave the seniors recently.

Kahnawake, Kanesatake businesses remain closed despite Quebec reopening Does that include their cigarettes, weed & booze outlets too?

Some employees miss working in air-conditioned spaces as central Canada sizzles I guess that was one perk of working in offices - air conditioning, but honestly it's not all that expensive to buy a window air conditioner for the home.

Twenty-nine of Canada's 48 national parks to reopen to day-use visitors in early June So in other words they're open to local residents who've probably been there and done that so many times before, they couldn't care less if the park was open this year or not unless their livelihood depended on it.

Devastated by the pandemic, Canada's hotels make plans to reopen As no one is allowed to go anywhere and our borders are supposed to still be closed, who do you think is going to be staying at your hotels?

Drive-in grad ceremonies forced to revamp celebrations — again — due to new vehicle limitations What I'd like to know is which cruel inhumane SOBs make these rules anyhow? They're cars people and if everyone stays in their cars, there should be no danger of transmission of the disease between attendees.  I mean grow a freaking brain and some compassion too while you're at it, you power tripping idiots in charge! And they wonder why people have had enough and are revolting.... Ummmm duhhhh sure beats me.

Conservatives demand to know why Liberals didn't release military's report on care homes earlier  As with everything else to do with this virus they've taken their sweet time about it.


Global pandemic: Through the eyes of the world's children Another perspective on it. But I find it curious that those who this virus hits the most haven't been asked for their perspective on it. Instead it's almost like spectator viewing, watching what is happening to them, without asking them about how they feel and what they think of how they're being treated and if they think more could've or should've been done to help them. I'd be curious to hear directly from them, what happened to them and their horror stories that they could tell. Maybe what we've seen and heard is only half the real story. So maybe someone should be interviewing them for their perspectives as well.

Justin Trudeau says he'll take COVID-19 antibody test once available I'd love to, too, except I doubt I'll be allowed to because I can't prove that I had it (via medical records or anything like that), nor that I was in contact with someone who did.  But yet, I'm positive I have had it and would like to find out for sure.


Organized crime suspected of being behind COVID-19 phishing and counterfeit-equipment scams  Well they usually are behind things like that, so this is no stretch of the imagination.


Liberals, NDP vote to waive normal Commons proceedings during pandemic Well I for one vote to waive their salaries, expense accounts and pensions and not pay them a damned thing, since they're not earning it. It's like they plan on having a year long vacation at the taxpayers' expense. I don't think so, a sitting parliament is vital in a democracy to keep wanna-be dictators in check. So if they don't want to actually earn their money, expense accounts and pensions then they shouldn't be entitled to them. That's the way I feel.


Province issues first heat alerts — three weeks after snowfall warnings We didn't have snowfall warnings but last week we had cold temperatures where the daytime highs were like 10C to 15C and nighttime lows of -2C - which was not great for planting. Then whoops suddenly we're in hell and unless we want to die of heat stroke this isn't exactly planting weather either. So as a result my garden at least is only 3/4s planted.

COVID-19 aid programs will have to end, others to be modified, Trudeau says  Oh but I bet the aid programs that allows the gov't parties and members to partake of, won't be ending any time soon. Not until there's a nice uproar over it, probably.

Trudeau Suggests Federal Election Call Off Table Amid COVID-19 Pandemic  The little wanna-be dictator can suggest whatever he wants but if the other parties calls a non-confidence vote (which I hope they do soon), and the Liberals fail, then he won't have much choice in the matter. 

Fredericton looking for 'pandemic-related' art proposals Really? Who would want to remember such gloomy and draconian times as these via art? It's bad enough that things posted on the net never gets removed, so whatever stories were ever posted about it online and blogs like this etc, will forever be online or in massive online archives somewhere. It's like the Germans wanting someone to do art commemorating the Nazis and their atrocities. 


'We're trying to survive': Seniors grow frustrated over slow rollout of COVID-19 financial aid Hallelujah! This is what I've been saying for months now and the media is only just now cluing in. Even if it is that they're only cluing into the fact that the promised funds haven't been received yet. Although they did talk to a lady in the story that emphasized the expenditures she's had and the fact that the money promised won't cover anywhere near all of it and that much more is needed. And I don't see why they can't get much more after all everyone & their dog can get $2,000 a month and parents who have kids are getting their regular family allowance of $400 & $500 per kid per month, with an additional $600 per kid thrown in on top of that, that's besides their own salaries they're making or the $2,000 CERB  benefit (if both parents are getting that, then that's $4,000 plus all the rest of the money for the kids they get per month and the nice $600 COVID19 bonuses per kid as well). While the seniors have a piddly little $1,000 or so per month and when or if they ever see that money they promised an additional 1 time payment of maybe $500 or maybe it's only $300 and they definitely have much more expenses and bills to pay than 3 year old brats do. So I don't see why they can't even get the same amount a 3 year old brat gets for staying home picking his nose and throwing his mega blocks around the house and pulling the dog's tail and ears. 


Legault asks that 1,000 military staff remain in Quebec's long-term care facilities until Sept. 15 Oh boy, Legault is going to have to explain those salaries to QC's nurses, since that's what a lot of them are making per hour now - $26.00. And I know my daughter inlaw had to go to college for a lot longer than 3 months to get her license and qualify for that $26.00 an hour salary, so I don't think she'll be pleased about that, when she finds out. 

The world sacrificed its elderly in the race to protect hospitals. The result was a catastrophe in care homes Oh the elderly were sacrificed for a lot more than just the hospitals. They were sacrificed in order to collapse the economies, to introduce free money or a basic income as they call it, for depopulation purposes, for the NWO's 1 world government probably (and our prince bozo thinks he's going to be the head of it I guess). And probably a ton more nefarious reasons that I'm not diabolical enough to think of.

Opinion: Why your Social Security check could feel a lot smaller next year I'm sure it's not just the Americans social security checks that will be or at least feel smaller next year, I'm pretty sure the Canadian's OAS checks will be or feel equally light.

Cheyenne Frontier Days canceled for 1st time in 124 years  So is the Calgary Stampede. Seems like they're trying to suck all the fun out of not only summertime but life, period.

First Quarter GDP Revised Down to 5% Contraction This is the American GDP that's being revised down 5% here.



Sweden has the highest daily coronavirus death rate in the world – and it’s getting worse Well I guess they've overtaken Brazil & the US for that distinction and to think a couple of weeks ago a minister from Sweden was on Trevor Noah's Daily Distancing Show bragging about how well they were doing with no lockdowns.




The Chinese CDC now says the coronavirus didn't jump to people at the Wuhan wet market — instead, it was the site of a super-spreader event  Geez.... They just keep changing their story almost on an hourly basis. So who knows what to believe anymore?

Quebec schools see spike in COVID-19 cases as Ontario eyes regional reopenings I guess we're finding out now that kids can get and carry COVID19, aren't we? Too bad it had to be this way making it so that so many more kids get it as well.



Trudeau, allies call for global unity at UN summit on pandemic recovery They're colluding on a recovery to make it uniform across the world.... So what do you want to bet they didn't collude on the lockdowns and the rest of it? Like I said this was engineered & orchestrated from the get go.





Coronavirus response a 'massive policy screwup' but not Trump's fault: Niall Ferguson Of course not because this was a PLANdemic, it was planned and orchestrated by the world's powers and it was irrelevant whether he wanted to go along with it or not. Maybe that's why he's acting so cavalier about it, because he knows it's mostly a scam to crash economies and implement something new like a basic income, maybe a new currency, new laws, new 1 world government, etc.

20 things that have gone wrong in 2020, so far  These are mostly things gone wrong on the Asian continent, but it might change your perspective on how hard we've had things here.

Mortgage rates nose-dive to new low and bring out the buyers  I suppose that's good for those who wish to sell their homes. 


SEC Is Scrutinizing Public Companies Granted Virus Relief Funds Good I hope that when they finish they hold them responsible and make them pay the money back with interest and fines.

Important changes for tax filers after COVID-19 pushed CRA's deadline back You've only got until Sunday to get them done....


'Two-tiered health:' Manitoba premier wants PM to clear up rules on powwows What's so hard to understand about 2 meters apart, wearing masks, and no more than 10 people in a gathering if you're in QC? Elsewhere follow the rules of the province. Or as you claim you're your own nation make up your own rules that would apply to all natives country-wide.

Deaf mum inundated with orders after designing face mask that enables people to lip read Not only does it allow lip reading but to see the expressions on people's faces, like smiling, frowning etc... But because of the way they're made I think they're a little creepy looking. If the clear plastic is taut enough so that it doesn't smother the wearer, perhaps totally clear masks would be nicer looking. 



Does China really want war? As if the coronavirus they gave us wasn't enough now they want war with the US? And probably Canada too, since they seem to love us so much.

Ontario says more heath providers can reopen including dentists, optometrists  I think Quebec is allowing the same although I'm not sure when. Perhaps a check on the QC Coronavirus site will inform us on that.

Your ultimate summer bar at home: Industry experts' top tips and tricks  I know I shouldn't be encouraging drinking, but having a drink every now and then to blow off some steam won't hurt, it's when you make it a habit or have more than 1.  That being said perhaps you'd be interested in this book, which is an epub and downloadable from the longfiles link at: A-Z of Cocktails

‘This is Star Trek Finance’: COVID-19 forces Canada’s banks into a strange new world Hmmm I'm not the be all and end all trekkie, but I'm not sure they had "finance" per se. I think it was more like they operated on a credit basis. Not credit as in loans, but as in you did something to merit this and so you have so many credits that you can put towards it if you want.

Sex Workers Can Get Back to Business in Switzerland, But Sports Remain Prohibited I wish I could see the logic in this decision, but I just can't. I guess the men in Switzerland are using the smallest heads in the room to think with. That's the only explanation I can see.

Home trading triggers bank 'black hole' surveillance alerts I guess now that stock traders are working at home, and not under the close surveillance of their bosses, they are finding creative ways to make even more money on the stocks.

Canada’s Covid Hot Zone Is Deadlier Than Chicago or L.A. And it's nothing to be proud of either.

Pregnant woman unknowingly loses baby while COVID-19 prevented ultrasound It's not only the people with the virus that are suffering, there's lots of people with other problems out there that are suffering too, but are not being attended to, because for some reason COVID19 takes precedence over all other illnesses and deaths. A death is a death whether it's related to COVID19 or not, and if it was preventable if seen by a doctor and treated in time, but they couldn't or wouldn't see and treat that person because they were too busy trying to save a COVID19 patient that died anyhow, then that's 2 deaths for COVID19 and not just that one. That's how the true measure of death should be done - the COVID deaths and the deaths that didn't necessarily have to end in death if it was treated, but wasn't because of the pandemic.

Thousands of elderly people 'may have isolated unnecessarily' during lockdown I'll agree with that. Life is short for all of us, but particularly the elderly because the older you get, the less time you have. So you should live your life to it's fullest for whatever time you have left rather than stay couped up in a small room by yourself for what could potentially wind up being the rest of your life. No one says you should go out partying on the beach in a huddle with a few hundred other people, but there's nothing wrong with seeing others and talking to others and even sitting on opposite sides of the livingroom to watch a TV show together or to talk. Here in Canada prisoners put into solitary confinement for longer than a couple of weeks, is deemed to be cruel and inhumane punishment, but yet they're asking the elderly to go into solitary confinement for a few months. In Canada when wardens put those prisoners in solitary confinement the prisoners usually sued for and got a very large settlement - in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. So imagine how much Canada and all the other countries around the world who imposed that cruel and inhumane punishment on innocent elderly taxpaying voters could get if they sued their respective countries? Personally, I'd love to see that happen. It would serve the governments right.

Coronavirus: 99% confident that COVID-19 vaccine will work, says Chinese firm  They should try it out on their own citizens first.

Tyson Pork Plant In Iowa Shuts After Hundreds Of Workers Test Positive for COVID-19 Here comes more food shortages yet again and higher prices as well.

Professor warns against 'really dangerous' barbecues as coronavirus lockdown measures are relaxed Obviously the guy is a nitwit. BBQs are easy to handle via the pandemic while observing all safety precautions. Use paper plates, disposable plastic utensils,  & canned drinks or bottled water. Everyone picks up their own paper plate from a stack of them (being careful not to touch others), and the utensils can be wrapped in a napkin (fork, spoon, knife) and each guest picks up the set with the napkin. The host serves the food using the serving utensils exclusively - in other words the serving spoons, forks and tongs are used by one person and only one person - the host and they never ever touch the serving end of the utensil - which touches only the unserved food. When everyone's finished eating they put all of their stuff into the garbage can that's outside, themselves. (We all have one now, they're called black boxes). Et voila.... Besides I don't see the paranoia over your friend or brother-in-law touching things like plates and glasses, but you have no qualms about people in stores touching things and then you go and pick it up and buy it and the cashier and the bagging boy also touches it. I mean have you watched people in  grocery stores? They touch everything and half the time they don't take it, they put it back on the shelf where they picked it up from in order to take pictures of it with their cellphone or to read the label before deciding they don't want it and put it back. So if you can go buy groceries knowing that someone you don't know and never met before in your life and maybe several someones at that, touched that product and probably every other product you bought and come home and use them, then you shouldn't have a problem with someone you know and can talk to to find out how they are and if they've had any health problems lately or not. I mean there's insane paranoia and then there's over the top insane paranoia and this is over the top if you ask me.

'They're mad...it's like a horror movie': 150 people exposed to COVID-19 in New Brunswick after doctor neglects rules

Murals of Canadian doctors leading COVID-19 fight removed from Vancouver building As far as I'm concerned the mural/s of Tam can not only stay removed they can now be used for firewood for a bonfire for a homeless camp.

Cancer, coronavirus are a dangerous mix, new studies find I'm sure knowing that cancer is dangerous and coronavirus is dangerous we didn't need a study telling us that the mix of the two was dangerous. I'm sure we can all pretty well figure that out on our little old lonesomes no matter if we have medical training or not.

CDC suggests coronavirus started spreading in the U.S. in January Finally! They're starting to come clean! I knew I wasn't crazy.... But getting to the truth is harder than extracting teeth with no novocaine to stop the pain. They basically admitted this to congress in a congressional hearing March in a round about way, so why couldn't they just come right out and say it honestly and upfront? What was the big deal about when it was started here, unless the Americans themselves had something to do with it, which they are trying to hide from their own citizens and the rest of us. Now that I wouldn't doubt at all.

Phew, finally caught up with it all. Now it might be a few days before I post anything here again because I will have to change computers with my husband (this is his computer I'm using and now that he's fixed mine, he wants his back). So it'll take a few days for me to make the transition (files, bookmarks and the like and I'll have to set mine up the way I want it too).  So you'll have some time to read and digest all that stuff about this plandemic, until I get a chance to resume posting in my blog again.

Until then stay well and take care.
