Packaging Food For Freezing, & Nibbling on Breadsticks, Pork Rinds & Clementines While Posting Headlines on....

January 23, 2021

I pretty much spent the day helping my husband prepare and package meat in meal sized portions, for freezing again. While intermittently browsing the net off and on for headlines about this plandemic of ours. Hence the picture chosen for today's post, given this shocking article I read about this being a senicide (implying planned) and Doug Ford handling it as such. It will be one of the headlines posted along with a lot of other equally disturbing headlines too.

To add a little warmth to the house though I decided to cook a pork roast with tons of veggies around it and my husband who butchered the other pork roast into souvlaki cubes, cut the rind on that roast into bite sized pieces, which I coated in oil and salt and garlic powder to put on top of the meat and veggies to go in the oven. A few minutes ago I commented on what they looked like and so my husband pulled a couple pieces out for me to try. They're not totally crispy yet, but maybe by the time dinner's cooked they will be. Because I am famished and can't wait for dinner I also had a clementine and a couple breadsticks to nibble on as well.
 
Mmmm... Yum, supper was delicious even if I do say so myself.
 
Now, on with the recent covid19 headlines. Pull up a comfortable chair, cozy blanket to keep you warm while you read, get a cup of tea or coffee and find your specs, and start reading...
 
Johnson Signals Third U.K. Lockdown Could Last Into Summer It sounds like Legault QC's premier is getting ready to copy him. 

 
 
'This is... very uncomfortable': Ontario Premier Doug Ford called out for 'stay at home' message in 22 languages Yeah, he's got a nerve and a half considering he can barely speak English properly with all the grammatical errors he constantly makes. I doubt he can speak French either, so trying to speak all those other languages, was doomed to failure before he even started and he should've known that. Besides our constitution doesn't mention anything about Urdu and Punjabi and all those other languages being an official language. The only 2 official languages of this country as outlined in the our constitution is English & French!

Wow, it looks like the universe doesn't want us to have vaccines for some reason, given the fire at India's largest vaccine plant and the flood at that warehouse while Pfizer frigs around with their plant.
 
Hungary buys Russia's Sputnik V vaccine, first in EU, minister says Why not? It can't be any worse than the vaccines we have here in Canada NOT. At least it's something to inoculate their population with and if it works then great, if not well they won't be worse off then they are now. Unlike here in Canada we don't have any vaccines nor any hope for the short term either.
 

Look if these countries have the qualified staff (as in relevant education in order to approve it) to approve this vaccine in a timely manner, why the F can't Canada? Oh yeah that's right we have to wait 4 years for Haggydudu to get through medical school first and that's if she passes. Otherwise it could be eons before she's qualified to approve of it, even though she's the of Health Canada. 

Wondering if that's the going rate or if they're getting gouged by them too, like the way Pfizer gouged South Africa on their vaccines.
 

 

I've abandonned my fair weather friends years ago when I saw what they were truly like. Now the friends I have, I want to keep and have known that for years now. I didn't need this plandemic to tell me that.

 
Buyer Beware: COVID Vaccines Netting Big Bucks Online  I don't know if that's also true here in Canada, but anything you're buying over the internet, I wouldn't trust. I mean how do you know it's not a vial full of water they have and want to sell you or worse yet, something more lethal instead? You just don't know and it's not worth taking the risk and finding out too late you were duped into buying impotent water or dangerous chemicals instead, or possibly real vaccines but that weren't kept according to instructions at the prescribed temperatures and have gone bad as a result.

More censorship aimed at protecting the lamestream media's views and agendas.
 

Are they going to vaccinate all the spectators too? As in everyone who buys a ticket also gets a vaccination thrown in for free? That alone might entice people to buy tickets to the games - getting a free vaccination in order to attend.

 
‘Packed us together like sardines’: Guard deployed to Capitol struggles to contain Covid The way they were treated is just deplorable. If it weren't for them, the Bidens and Harrises could be dead and not safely installed as Prez & VP of the US. And for Jill Biden to give them chocolate chip cookies was just over the top freaking oblivious and callous. Instead of giving them cookies why doesn't she talk to her President husband into recognizing their help at the inauguration and ask him to treat them accordingly - like with some decency & dignity that they deserve. I mean I thought Mr. Bozo Brains in Ottawa was the ultimate airhead in the universe until I saw the new 1st Lady giving them chocolate chip cookies as if that would make up for the fact they were made to sleep in a cold garage and cramming them altogether like sardines etc.... I mean hello... Is this another case of "Let them Eat Cake" kind of sheite? Seems like it.

 

 
Bharat Biotech, ICMR publish Covaxin Phase 1 data showing safe, enhanced immunity to Covid-19 disease Good. The more the merrier. Hopefully this makes it through Phase 4 and into the approval phase sooner rather than later.

 

 
At least 50,000 flight reservations have been cancelled since mandatory COVID-19 testing was introduced Good! It's at least that many fewer potential imports of the virus from all areas of the world.

Stop hinting and start doing you spineless brainless wonder! 

 
Legal review shows British Columbia can't restrict interprovincial travel: Horgan Neither can the maritime provinces but they're doing it anyhow.
 
 
Jurisdictional issues challenging COVID-19 vaccine distribution to priority Indigenous populations Ah gawd, stop fighting over who should give them the vaccination and just do it already! I'm sure they won't care if it's the white man or a native that gives it to them, as long as they get it! Just do what's best for them and not your own jurisdictional egos, for once in your frigging pathetic political lives, would ya!?!

 

 


 

What're they going to do if someone can't or refuses to pay for this hostage taking in designated hotels?
 
PM urges Canadians to cancel travel plans after data reveals 1M travelled over holidays Here's an idea bozo brains.... You cancel their travel plans for them, by saying that all travel is banned and no planes currently in Canada will be allowed to leave the ground to go anywhere and no new planes will be able to land in Canada. It's as simple as that, because the Feds do control the aviation industry.

Waterhole the spineless little wussy boy who can only stand up to Canadians that say things he doesn't like. We need someone with guts that Ford seems to have as PM. Not a little wussy boy that just replies with "yes sir, how high sir?" when told to jump.
 

 
Ontario premier offers to drive to U.S. himself to pick up more COVID-19 vaccines hehehe.... This guy sure has moxie, I'll tell ya that much. I guess they didn't take him up on the offer though. Too bad, because just the news picture or footage of him driving a truck to get it, would've been right up there with the picture of Trudeau senior and his finger while supposedly saying "fuddle duddle".  In other words one for the history books.

Hang on and hold tight is what you say when the seas are getting choppy and you're in a boat, or when you're in for a wild ride on a bronco or other kind of crazy horse.
 
Cruise line says only vaccinated passengers can sail Then I guess they won't be including too many Canadian passengers among their ranks.

 

 
Quebec's curfew might be extended past Feb. 8, Legault and Dubé suggest Oh what a surprise, now that the power abusers have found a new way to ticket and abuse people's rights, they plan on using it for as long as they can. I could've told you that that was coming. They've never let up on anything here since the plandemic started. So don't expect them to now. I'd love to know what their agenda is though. Besides sapping the joie de vivre and spirit out of our lives, what's the end plan here? I mean pretty soon more of the population will be considering suicide than those who get and die of covid19, if they keep it up. Because honestly I can't see the point of wanting to live such a boring, mundane BS existance as they've imposed on us since last March. I'm sure I'm not the only one to see things like that either. But I refuse to give them the satisfaction of me committing suicide just so they can save on my measly pension payments. 

 
New COVID-19 variant can evade immunity, research suggests Oh wonderful. I hope the research is wrong though.

A doctor ought to know what he's talking about in this regard. But still the media and the powers that be want to suppress and censor him anyhow. Got to keep everyone scared and compliant the best way they know how and that's through fear. Scare'em silly and perhaps they'll listen and behave. That seems to be the tactics here.
 
Quebec COVID-19 cases have surpassed the quarter-million mark That's only 1/34th of the entire Quebec  population, so as large as the number appears to be, it's really no big deal. 

That's good.
 
 
 

Considering our medicare system is for everyone in the country and considering the ravages that COVID is having on the population here, I can understand why. I mean how do we know that some of these illegals didn't just show up here during the plandemic hoping for free medical care, if they happened to get the virus? 
 
Special Report: How U.S. CDC missed chances to spot COVID's silent spread I'm of the mind that it was all missed on purpose by everyone, considering I could see what was happening with it just by watching and reading the news, and I was asking why no one was closing the borders and where were all the masks and why no one was telling us to wear one and instead only wash our hands and social distance. That was in March, but in January after I read a report about the description of what it did to a person based on what it was doing to people in China, I knew I had had it myself. So I wondered why no one was taking what was happening in Wuhan seriously and reacting accordingly by shutting down the borders to ALL international travellers - Cdn or not. Keep them out, keep them all out until the plandemic is over with and then you can reopen the borders again and let Cdns get home and others come for whatever reason they have to come, but KEEP THE BORDERS CLOSED BOTH WAYS UNTIL THE PANDEMIC WAS OVER WITH and that way you wouldn't have to worry about having m/any cases and the ones you would have you'd easily be able to eradicate without a vaccine. When a vaccine was available import enough to vaccinate the population and if that's done before the plandemic is over with, then fine reopen the borders otherwise keep them closed until the plandemic is over with or the entire population has been vaccinated. Meanwhile no one would be under lockdown, we'd have all been able to travel interprovincially for vacations and visiting other friends and family and continue to work as always and go to school as per usual. No interruptions or lockdowns or curfews needed. But noooooo.... Why would they do that? That way they wouldn't have any excuse for going all draconian on us and fine us silly with their eye gouging fines they've been issuing for the stupidest things.

 

Maybe we should get Allan Hawco to star in a bumbling comedy about bozo brains in Ottawa and his handling of the plandemic, as the Canadian version.
 

 

 
Farmers urge feds to reconsider pre-departure COVID tests for migrant workers I said it before and I'll say it again.... WHY???? Why should they be treated so special when we have a lot of teenage boys who'd love to have a summer job even if it was working on a farm. Lots of them can't find one especially if they live in a rural area, where there's no other employers around. So give Canadian teenagers a chance first why don't you!?!

 
Coronavirus: Over 1.1 million vaccine doses distributed across Canada So think of that as being really only 550,000 doses, since they require 2 doses to make a full vaccination. Which when you think of it, isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to our population size.

Oh really? So why did the woman who claims to have been the one who made the Moderna vaccine, say it only took her 2 days to make it? I have the headlines to that article in a previous post on here for those who don't believe me.

Oh what a surprise that is!
 

 

The maritimes seems to be getting away with it pretty good. Guess maybe no one has challenged it in court?
 

 

 

 
P.E.I. COVID-19 restrictions easing further, as of Saturday Lucky them! It was only last March that we were able to enjoy even half of that here in QC.

 
Families Slam 'S**t On A Plate' Food In Long-Term Care Homes Long term care homes in Canada have been in deplorable states for decades, but are only just now coming under the spotlight for it, because of COVID19.

 

 
Sledding banned at Mooney's Bay Probably because everyone was having too much fun so when they saw that they had to ban it. 

Like I said, let your bills percolate for a few days, they'll still be bills by the time you get up a nerve to handle the envelope they came in.
 

Why do foreigners think that they have the same rights and privileges as taxpaying voters have? I've never understood why they think everything should apply to them equally as it does us Canadians.
 

 

 

 

 
 
This is a bit of good news.
 

 
BONOKOSKI: Losing faith in Justin Trudeau ever again telling the truth Wow, it sure took you long enough. I lost faith the first time I heard him deflecting, evading and just outright lying and that was way back when he first came to power. He hadn't even been elected for more than a couple of months when he was caught accepting a stay at the Great Kahn's island worth about $100,000.00 and all the back peddling and BS he spewed about that incident, then on and on and on ad nauseum ad infinitum from the SNC Lavallin BS, to the blackface incidents (which he claimed there was only the one incident - the one he got caught on first) to everything that literally comes out of that ash hole's mouth. He's a compulsive liar and if he says any different, he's lying. Period. The sooner you and everyone else figures that out the better off this country will be. Hopefully.

 
Getting the jab done: When can Canadians expect to get a COVID-19 vaccine?  The way things are going..... Basically never is when we can expect to get the vaccine.

It's not just in Ontario where the senicide is going on. It's across the country and around the globe. That's probably why this virus was unleashed anyhow - as a means of cutting down on the senior population. Which most governments who have to pay pensions to their elderly retired workforces would go for - to cut back on the amount of pensions having to be paid. 
 

Your projections are nothing but a pile of BS, concocted by you power abusing gestapo maniacs to keep abrogating our rights and gouge our eyes out in stupid fines.
 

That's it for the latest headlines about this plandemic. So take can stay well until next time....

The Neverending Saga that is....

 Covid19

Courtesy Pixabay.com

January 15, 2021

Given today's events in the Ontario government, I thought this picture above would be very appropriate for today's edition of the covid headlines, given that Doug Ford expelled from the Ont. PC party one of his members that had the audacity to quote articles written by professional psychologists, the Ontario Ministry of Health, and other professional sources for his letter, which he provided several footnotes - linking to an extensive bibliography. But yet Doug Ford accused him of spreading "misinformation" and fired him. I'm sorry but exactly how is direct data and figures provided by the Ontario Ministry of Health misinformation? Along with all the other researched and seemingly valid references? Seems to me that he was fired because he wasn't towing the party line with the rest of the implicit silent backbenchers who will quietly acquiesce to the dictates of Ford whether his policies and laws are based on scientific knowledge or not - mostly not. But hey don't let those implicit to causing all those problems stop their compliance. Don't want to jeopardize their own salaries and standings in a party that's willing to crash the economy, and wreck people's lives for less than a 0.00X% of infected deaths. And we've absolutely got to exaggerate the amount of hospital beds and ICU units that are left, on the negative side, in order to try to scare people into compliance. 

Anyhow there's a headlines (actually 2) that I'll be posting dealing with this incident and I'll copy & paste the text of the letter in question into the blog just below those headlines so you can read it in it's entirety except for the footnoted bibliography which as I said was quite extensive so I didn't type that in as I had to use Windows' notepad in order to do it. But if you can get to the Lilley headlines pertaining to that letter, there's a link in that article to the full text of the letter including the bibliography, if you wish to see that for yourself. As I was unable to copy & paste it, or even take a screen shot of it to post in the blog, so I had to type it by hand myself.

This is just one prime example of the powers that be and the lamestream media and society wanting to silence those who are basing their thoughts, opinions etc on fact rather than half baked ideas and fictions about this disease, who are systematically being silenced, censured and censored. Because they refuse to go along with the espoused BS that the politicians rely on in order to use draconian measures against us, to keep us all under house arrest. BTW,  I  just wonder why they want to keep us locked up like that, anyhow?

The facts and figures he was able to compile for Ontario.... I'd like very much to know those same facts and figures as far as the stats here in QC goes and for all of Canada - broken down by province & territory and as a comprehensive whole, for that matter. Then we the people would be able to make our own choices based on actual facts and not just the hair'em scare'em tactics of the leaders. 

Given the announcement today of Pfizer's cut back on delivering vaccines to us and us only getting 4 million doses by the end of March from both Pfizer & Moderna combined, just blew my mind. Do they honestly think they'll keep us under some form of lockdown or restrictions for that much longer, without a major revolt on their hands???? Seriously???? Because right now, even being the age and gender I am, I'm willing to join a mass revolt against the ash holes in power in this country, nevermind by then, by then I might be the one trying to organize such a mass revolt, if there isn't one already underway. And hopefully there will be, because enough is enough already.
 
In any case, I'm beginning to wonder why I bother to wear a mask, given that I'm sure I've already had it and if I didn't have, then maybe I should get it and get it over with. That way they can drag their ashes for as long as they want over getting vaccines into this country and into our arms, as I won't give a flying F by then if I had it and KNOW I HAD IT, because then I'll be immune to it and know it. And since it's me and my body, I don't see how they can force me to wear a mask anyhow. If I have it, then I should be quarantining and not out running around spreading it around, right!?! If I don't have it, then I'm allowed out but with a mask on. But what if I don't want a mask on and want to catch the virus just so I can naturally inoculate myself against it,  since the gov't is doing such a bang up job of preventing us from getting inoculated in the first place!!!!! 
 
Even the major mainstream papers in the US are starting to notice that. That bozo brains "secured" more doses than we need, but he didn't actually get them  here and into our arms. No he's too idiotic for that, or cheap to cough up the balance due in order to actually take delivery of those doses. Or impotent as a leader. One that has no credibility and no clout and is a total laughingstock of the universe.

Anyhow enough of that..... Now on with the headlines that made me go on that tirade in the first place....

I don't blame them. Astra-Zeneca is the one I'm opting for if I can. 
 
 
Lower zinc levels linked to higher risk of death from COVID-19 It pays to have a healthy and varied diet, in more ways than one.
 
 
Where’s dad? Third of women are shouldering all child care duties during COVID shutdowns In today's day and age I just don't understand why this is still going on. Even in my generation most people I know agreed on a 50/50 split of household and child care chores even back then. I don't know why today's women tolerate that, all they have to do is grow a backbone and put their foot down and tell their husbands those are his kids too and he can help with them. That's all there is to it.

 
Most care home residents in Ontario unvaccinated as COVID-19 outbreaks rage That's good. So now maybe they can start vaccinating others and lifting restrictions instead of imposing more?

 

Good! I hope the ones in QC gets hit with a massive class action lawsuit too! Especially the The Heron Home in Dorval, where the staff abandonned the patients alone in their beds.
 
Shaw Communications says year off to great start despite pandemic Considering everyone's been reduced to remote this and remote that, it's little wonder communications companies are reaping the rewards of that. 

 
Medical staff need guidance on life-or-death triage decision as ICUs fill up: experts As you will see in Mr. Baber's letter to Doug Ford, this is all a bunch of contrived BS in order to keep everyone panicked and scared and thus compliant with the house arrest orders.
 
 
 
 
EXPLAINER: Vaccine push gains steam but many still face wait And we're going to wait even more now that Pfizer is cutting back on deliveries.

 

Yeah I bet. I bet it's as "extremely tense" as the Ontario hospital situation is, which is to say nowhere near as tense as it usually is on any given year at this time.
 

 

 

 

 

 
Government won't forgive CERB repayments over net-gross problem despite messaging mix-up Like I said before if we did something like that we'd have to swallow the losses, but if they do something like that we still have to pay for it, even though it was their mistake. They never pay for their own mistakes it's always us taxpayers who do.
 
 
Smaller cities suffer the economic brunt of Air Canada's pandemic exit It's always like that, the small communities who need these services the most are the first ones to lose them.

Well at least someone somewhere has some hope. So that's good.
 

Euuuu that ought to make a whopping dent in the disease given there's 13 provinces & territories and if each gets an equal amount that equates to:  76,923 doses per region. Divide that in 2 that means 38,461 people will get vaccinated (as there's 2 shots per person required) in that region. Euuuuuuu that'll surely cut back on the spread of the virus in a roaring hurry. Gawd, that's TOTALLY PATHETIC COMPARED TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!! For a country that "secured" the most doses per person, you sure wouldn't know it. Because they can't even get the required number of doses in in a timely fashion nevermind the excess they supposed secured. There's a huge difference between "secured" and "procured" and "brought into the country and thereby in our possession". You can "secure" gazillions of doses of everything, but if you don't actually pay for and arrange to take possession of those things, it's nothing more than a promise to buy, which depending on terms of the "securement" might be able to be broken by either party. So you might as well say Mr Bozo Brains told each manufacturer, I want and I want and I want, without signing anything or paying anything. Or did sign and pay a downpayment but is now refusing to cough up the remaining balance on the deal.  Or the companies decided since everyone in the world wants their stuff, they'd use that as leverage to raise the prices and terms and decided not to honour their previously lowered priced commitments. Which is also probable. In which case it's up to our gov't to pay the new higher prices, but use their original contract to sue the company's ashes off after they've gotten the doses we require from them. 
 
But Mr. Bozo Brains won't do that, because he'd rather F Canadians over than anyone else - just look at the 2 Michaels in China as an example of that and the other example that got us into this mess in the first place, by not shutting the borders down because he didn't want to offend anyone (namely the Chinese). But by gawd, he sure as hell didn't mind offending us, by causing us pain, misery and sorrow due to the infections and deaths of the disease he let into the country through total willful negligence.

 
As Quebec postpones surgeries, breast enhancements and butt lifts still a go How's this for double standards and hypocrisy for you, eh? 

 

Oh well, don't hold your breath there Mr. CEO, because at the rate that's going that won't be until about a decade from now at the earliest.
 
More than 30 international flights land in Toronto since start of 2021 with passengers who later tested positive for COVID-19 I still do NOT understand WHY we're still accepting international flights or anything incoming from any international originating point, via any means, IF our borders are CLOSED!?!?! If the borders are closed, shouldn't they be closed to everyone no matter the method of arrival????

So then QC'ers should refuse the 2 dose vaccines and wait for the single dose vaccines to arrive, because if they're getting them that far apart they might wind up proving useless in the way of protection and it's the people who are getting those vaccines who are going to be the ones suffering, not the pencil necked idiot Dube who only cares about the bottom line and not the actual human lives that bottom line of his affects.
 
PM Trudeau wants to serve for 'number of more years,' rules out vaccine passports Yup, because the longer he can stay in office the longer his jail term for all his crimes he's committed against this country and it's people, gets put off as he can't be tried for anything while in office. He has to lose his seat in parliament first. Hopefully, that'll be this year.

Do you see and understand how pathetically sad this is considering a few nations already have their entire population inoculated and others like the UK have made a substantial effort on that endeavour, while Joe Biden promises to have 100 million shots given in his first 100 days in office. We can't even get 10,000 shots given in 180 days, by comparison.
 

That would be nice for sure, except we need the actual vaccine first, in order to vaccinate anyone.
 
 

 
Dr. Bonnie Henry condemns B.C. businesses for refusing entry to Indigenous people due to COVID-19 fears Some people are just totally freaking braindead. That's all I've got to say.

 
'Spend as much as you can,' IMF head urges governments worldwide OMG, I can just picture the head salaciously rubbing their hands together & drooling, with glee dreaming of all the countries riches and resources they'll be able to plunder in return for helping them bail those countries out afterwards. Yeah.... Go ahead world spend yourselves into dept - the IMF will bail you out afterwards, in return for all your present and future wealth and resources - which includes human resources - ie: workers - or in the IMF's case better known as indentured slaves.

 
In LA, ambulances circle for hours and ICUs are full. Is this what Covid-19 has in store for the rest of the country? Here in Canada they don't circle anywhere. They just pull over on the side of the road and wait.

Again the optimal word in that title is "could". As you will see demonstrated in Mr. Baber's letter to Doug Ford these projection models are never exact and wildly exaggerate the predicted outcomes. So the same is probably true here too.
 

 

 

 

Because the idiots in charge, can't get their act together, the world's population may be decimated or worse yet annihilated. 
 

Canada and all other countries too, for that matter, should be doing the same thing.
 
Stay calm under pressure with lessons learned in the world’s most stressful careers  Yes, without a doubt they are high stress careers, but also too, without a doubt it's not a constant stress, since they work only so many hours per day and after that they get to go home and destress. Someone living in quarantine or lockdown in a pandemic, is under stress 24/7 with no time off to destress. So while there might be some useful tips here, the author completely forgot about the fact that there's a big difference between being stressed 8 hours a day and 24 hours a day.

Maybe this will help with destressing for those living 24/7 in a stressful situation.
 

 
‘There’s only one way out of this storm’: WHO’s stark warning we're in defining moment of pandemic This lump of excrement with hair on it, is the one who so blithely led us into this storm to begin with. So we're going to trust this lying corrupt ash hole to tell us how to get out of it? I don't think so. If I were the world's leaders I'd do the exact opposite of whatever this jerk says. Period.
 
 
There are no extra COVID-19 vaccines doses left to send to states, despite Trump's health officials promising to release more 3 days ago Oh but I bet the moment Joe Biden takes the oath of  office there'll suddenly be a couple hundred million doses at his disposal, for distribution across the US.

 
Ford ousts MPP from caucus over open letter pushing for end to COVID-19 lockdown I hope you DO notice that this article DOES NOT provide a link to the letter that is the center of this whole thing, in order for the readers to read it and make up their own minds. Nope the lamestream media has to try to hide it or at least stymy your efforts to see it, as much as possible. 

This is the story with the link to the original letter complete with all the footnoted bibliography etc. But because I don't know how long this story will be accessible via this link and if they'll keep that link to that letter active or not, I am going to copy & paste the copy I typed up in notepad in here, in case (because it is an important document and can't go missing in this whole Covid story). So here it is in it's entirety except for the extensive bibliography at the end of it, which you can see at the link above if you wish to see it:

Re: The Lockdown is Deadlier than Covid

The medicine is killing the patient. Ontario's Hospital and ICU Capacity are better than in the last 3 years. I write on behalf of my North York constituents and plead for the millions of lives and livelihoods ruined by Ontario's Publich Health restrictions.

The Lockdown isn't working. It's causing an avalance of suicides, overdoses, bankruptcies, divorces and takesn an immense toll on our children. Dozens of leading doctors implored you to end the Lockdowns. (footnote indicator)

The crisis is largely limited to Long Term Care homes (LTC). With all LTC residents in "red zones" to be vaccinated by January 21, Ontario should end the Lockdown & the catastrophic toll it's causing Ontarians.

LOCKDOWNS VS. COVID

"Hot zones" like Toronto and Peel have been in Lockdown since Thanksgiving without success. But the Lockdowns are objectively deadlier than Covid. For example:

(a) Cancer screenings at Princess Margret are back to 60% with Oncologist fearing a "tsunami of cancer". (footnot indicator)

(b) Ontario's overdose rate is trending 50% above normal. (footnote indicator) The growth in the number of Ontarians who died of overdose in 2020, may be higer than the number of people who died from Covid outside LTC.

(c) According to The Canadian Mental Health Association in September 2020, 10% of adults reported "recent thoughts or feelings of suicide" (4x normal). Among Canadians aged 19-35 the rate is 20%. (footnote indicator)

(d)SickKids is calling the increase of eating disorders in young people an "unprecedented crisis". (footnote indicator)

(e) Tens of thousands of businesses shut down. The unemployment rate is near double & 320,000 people have not regained work. (footnote indicator) We are faced with a catastrophic wave of bankruptcies and foreclosures.

(f) The Government is criminalizing normal human behaviour and putting law abiding Ontarians in legal jeopardy. Public Health can't change human behaviour. My heart breaks for family of Damien Moses. (footnote indicator)

Covid is real, but the fear of Covid is exaggerated. (underscored)  While every death is tragic, after 10 months we learned that Covid is not nearly as deadly as first thought -it has a 99.98% Infection Survival Rate. According to the CDC's latest estimates, Covid's Infection Fatality Rate by Age is as follows: (footnote indicator)

What follows is a small chart form display of the statistics but I am writing this in Window's notepad without any fancy wordprocessing capabilities, so I can't reproduce charts in here. But essentially it's the Infection Fatality Rate in the Following Age Groups:

 [0-19 - 0.00003%]  [20-49 - 0.0002%]   [50-69 - 0.0005%]  [70+ - 0.054%]


Regretfully since the start of the Pandemic about 5,000 Ontarians died from/with Covid. (footnote indicator)  Approximately 4,000 (~80%) of Covid deaths occurred in Group Living Settings. (footnote indicator) Of all 5,000 deaths, over 3,000 died in Long Term Care (footnote indicator) where victims were on average in their last year of life. (footnote indicator) We should focus on & fix LTC! (underscored)

Approximately 3,5000 (70%) of all Ontarians who died were over age 80. While we mourn every death, only 200 people or 4% of all deaths were under age 60 and ZERO children died from Covid in Ontario. (footnote indicator)

HOSPITAL & ICU CAPACITY

Ontario's hospital capacity is better than pre-Pandemic. On Jan 12, I was advised as follows by MOH* (Ministry of Health):

Ontario's Hospital Occupancy (Daily Average)

Following is another small chart detailing the time periods and hospital occupancy %, so I shall do as before and put the time period and the percentage in the same square bracket configuration as I did for the infection fatality rate figures above.

[December 2017 - 94.5%]  [December 2018 - 94.8%]  [December 2019 - 95.0%] [December 2020 - 84.4%]  [January 6, 2021 - 87.6%]

Ontario ICU Occupancy (Daily Average)

Another small chart follows indicating time period and ICU Occupancy rate percentages which I will handle in the same manner as the other charts above.

[2017 (1-16 Dec) - 86.66%]  [2018 (1-16 Dec) - 91.21%]  [2019 (1-16 Dec) - 83.51%] 

[2020 (1-16 Dec) - 80.84%]  [2021 Jan 1-13) - 81.60%]

On January 4,2021, the ICU Occupancy rate was 80.6%, with Covid taking up only 16% of total ICU beds. (footnote indicator) Today, there are 385 Covid ICU patients, (footnote indicator) that's less than one patient per Ontario's 492 Hospitals. Risk can be minimized with transfers and good management. Urban are hospitals are always above capacity at this time of year - that's why we campiagned on ending Hallway Healthcare.

The lack of Capacity is created artificially by raitioning healthcare resources in response to modeling by the Command Table, except that Table's modeling almost always wrong. (underscored) The worst projection was made in the Fall Prep Plan. On September 30 the Table warned us that if Ontario maintained Michigan's case trajectory, by end of October we will have over 250 patients in ICU. (footnote indicator) Although Ontario maintained Michigan's case trajectory, the actual number of ICU patients on October 31 was 73 or 3.5 times less than predicted. (footnote indicator) While the Table can't get Capacity modeling right, the hospital planning made and threatened in response to it's modeling is catastrophic. Ontarians are needlessly denied care & surgeries. (underscored)

CHILDREN

The Lockdown is having catastrophic effects on Ontario's children. Constituents tell me that their children developed anxiety. We are scaring children even though they are 100% safe. The Government should also follow SickKids' advice against masking kids at school. (footnote indicator) The crisis is in LTC homes not schools.

Premier, we should stop scaring children. This generation of kids will grow up with an anxiety disorder and will be afraid of normal life. Kids need to be kids again, back in school with their friends. They should not believe that coming close to another child result in someone's death. It's false and unwarranted.

PROPOSED EXIT STRATEGY

1. End the Lockdown and let Ontarians go back to normal life. That's the best thing for their health.

2. Focus on LTC and proper IPAC instead of imprisoning 15 million Ontarians. With vaccination of all LTC residents in Ontario's "red zones" by January 21, tehre's much less justification for the Lockdown.

3. Build addition Hospital Capacity such as the facility at Joseph Brant and train ICU nurses.

4. Restore healthcare by ending Emergency Protocols (except LTC). Ontarians need healthcare back.

5. End the spread of fear & panic. It's unjustified and causes considerable stress, especially on children.

The Lockdowns aren't working. They are killing lives instead of saving lives. I plead with you to accept this reality and end the Lockdown. I wrote this letter with my greatest respect to you and our colleagues.


Yours very truly,

Roman Baber, MPP



Followed by all the relevant footnotes. If you wish to see those I suggest you try to find the original document online. Perhaps the Lilley story in the Toronto Sun will still be available with a link to the original document, when you get around to reading this, and you'll be able to see all the footnotes and maybe follow up on more information there.

Newsroom Ready: Vaccine ramp up phase to start in April: Fortin By then most of the rest of the world will already be fully inoculated. So does that mean we're getting the dregs of the vaccine products? The leftovers that weren't used or sold elsewhere at bargain basement prices? Is that what this is about?

 

 
Police don't have power to randomly stop people over Ontario stay-at-home order It's only the gestapo here in QC that gave the cops total authority over us, even the power to enter homes when they figure there's too many people inside. Gawd it's good it's not the pre 60s era where French families were large. My husband comes from a family of 13 kids - he's the youngest. So imagine if it were during that time and a cop was driving by the house and noticed a ton of people in the living room watching TV together - I mean there were 15 people (including him, his siblings and his parents) in his family. Gawd Legault would have a problem with his 5 people maximum in a house at any one time in that case. It's draconian and over the top abuse of power here in QC if you ask me.

 
La glissade dans les parcs est permise, mais il y aura des surveillants Well at least something fun for the kids is permitted...

 
Quebec plans to use rapid tests days after health minister said they weren't needed What's not needed here is the "health" minister, since he knows SFA about health. He's an accountant and all that matters to him is the bottom line and what's it going to cost.

Livestream performances delayed or cancelled as Ontario tightens COVID-19 rules How come they can delay or cancel these events but not the NHL games????

Gawd, it's taken them long enough - more than a year to worry about something that should've been top priority in order to keep the virus out to begin with!
 
Ottawa promises to ramp up coronavirus vaccine rollout They'd better find a way to "ramp up" the roll out sooner than that!  Try approving more vaccines like Astra Zeneca for instance or Johnson & Johnson's or even the Medicago one, to give us more choice and hopefully more vaccines to use in a sooner period of time!

 
Coronavirus: Toronto hospital worker dies from COVID-19 This should be more saddening than shocking. 

Yup another high ranking gov't official flouting the rules. What's new?
 
Federal and provincial governments proivde $5 million for beef farmers Is that going to help the food prices stabilize if not go down? Or is this just another payout to a greedy group of people who'll take the money and pocket it but continue to gouge the eyes out of the consumers heads?

 
COVID-19 test requirement to enter Canada a burden for migrant workers, advocacy group says Too bad for them. If they don't want to comply they can go elsewhere for work. I'm sure there's some Canadian teenage boys who wouldn't mind a summer job on a farm, if they could get one. No all teenagers want to work at McDs or Wendy's.

 

 
There will be damage and scarring to the Canadian economy: Former BOC governor Now if it were Mark Carney that said that, I'd sit up and take notice, but Poloz.... mmmmm..... All I can say is my opinion about him was he had a hard time to chew gum and tie his shoes at the same time. Not the brightest nor best crayon in the box, to cover that job that's for sure. 

See what I mean? Even the Washington Post has noticed how incompetant our vaccine rollout has been. But what they don't seem to understand is that "securing" doses isn't the same as HAVING the doses on hand to do anything with. We might've put the word out that we want x amount of doses, but we haven't actually gotten them. So..... Kind of hard to administer what we don't have. Don't you think?
 

Soon? How soon is that? If it's April, that's NOT SOON ENOUGH!!!!!!
 

 
 
Good question! Why hasn't every country banned all international flights?
 
Coronavirus: EU anger over reduced Pfizer vaccine deliveries So we're not the only ones getting short changed by them. What was wrong with the CEO of this company that they were so short sighted that they didn't realize that they couldn't handle the production demands on the vaccine doses they promised? Was it sheer greed, or just stupidity and oversight? Either way it's not fair to their customers and questionnable to say the least. 

Now I'm going to beseech you once again to badger your MP silly to make them find, and acquire timely vaccine doses for the Canadian population by asking Moderna for more doses sooner, and approving Astra Zeneca's vaccine (if the UK and others can approve it for use on their citizens what's wrong with Canada approving it for use here?) and just in general doing whatever it takes to get more vaccine into this country sooner and into the arms of Canadians as quickly and efficiently as possible. So here's that address to look up your MP and badger them to death via email, postal mail and telephone too if you wish: 

Just click on "List of Members of Parliament" to be taken to the page where the parliamentarians are displayed with their picture, name, and riding. Click on their picture to get to their contact page. Then have at 'em and let them know in no uncertain terms we want a vaccination and we want it now. 
 
So have fun with that and until next time, take care and stay well.
