Snowy, Rainy Day, Relaxing at Home and Reading Headlines About....

 Covid19

February 27, 2021

Sometimes I just need a lazy day like this, where I can basically just sit here and browse the internet and do whatever I have to do by phone, like order dinner and pay bills. A day to recharge my batteries and even get so bored as to actually want to post another post in here. 
 
That's getting rarer and rarer as I get more and more ambivalent about this whole plandemic BS and see the leaders world wide now jockeying to find ways to still keep us home, scared and compliant even though there's vaccines available and being used out there now. Which should theoretically (as is the case with all other known vaccines in history) provide full immunity a couple of weeks after being fully inoculated against the virus (so if your vaccine requires 2 shots for full inoculation - it would be 2 weeks after you get your 2nd shot). 
 
But now they've got new boogey viruses to keep us home and afraid.... Namely scary variants that keep popping up all over the place and if that's not enough there's now a new Ebola out break in Africa, which apparently the border authorities in the US are preparing for in case it comes to the US.  As a new potential threat to keep us scared and compliant in case the variants aren't enough to do that. And after pretty much a whole year of that, I've had my fill of it and really don't give a flying F what's going on out there in the crazy covid plandemic now.  I'm just trying to keep my promise to myself and the few visitors who visit the blog every now and then, that I made about posting the headlines until March 16th - making it a full year since this blog was started. So.....
 
It's doubtful I'll get through all the headlines today as I collected them since I last posted and there's a lot to get to. Anyhow you can delve into the following ones posted here...
 
 
Police issue over $900 in tickets to two BC Ferries passengers for not wearing masks Wow they basically got off scott free considering what they'd have to pay here in QC.
 
 
 

Oh what a surprise! But then I guess the way Ontario's going with their vaccination campaign it won't even have started until after Labour Day.... So I guess that's understandable given the circumstances.
 
 
This must be last lockdown, northern Tories tell PM I think the whole world feels like this better be the last lockdown or else.

 
Montreal health officials racing to delay dominance of U.K. variant to April Hopefully by then Astra Zeneca will have tweaked their vaccine to take care of the variants. 

 
 

Wow! Just wow! Thought our property taxes covered policing costs! Didn't know individuals were now being charged for policing costs involving themselves!  If cities are going to be doing it that way, then they should not have the right to charge for police services on our property tax bills!!!!!!! 

Of course! Because that's what this is a real world test with the vaccine recipients being used as guinea pigs!!!!! Glad they admitted that it was a "real world test". 
 
Plan to camp this summer? Better book your spot As the snowplow goes by my house, yet again today, others are thinking about booking campgrounds for their summer vacation.... I haven't even thought that far ahead yet. I'm just thinking about spring arriving and my perennial vegetable and fruit plants and what kind of shape they'll be in after the spring thaw arrives.

 
Government to reconsider child-care situation for essential workers if 'circuit breaker' extends I like how they've renamed lockdowns as "circuit breakers".... It's not going to change the fact that everyone's caged up alive in their houses and forbidden to do anything except maybe breath, without being ticketed to death. 

Wow! That's scary! I'd have hated to have been that baby's mom, having to hear that and worrying myself to death over the poor little thing, knowing there was nothing I could do to help it. Well that's kind of like what happened to me in real life. When my daughter was born she developed "scalded skin syndrome" and nearly did die. In fact, her survival was so rare the doctors gave me a paper attesting to the fact that she had it and survived, in case other future doctors wanted to argue with me about it. Or needed to know all of her medical history even the unheard of survival of that disease. In my case though, the infection was caused by the unsanitary conditions of the hospital where she was born.

 
Police not enforcing airport quarantine order Probably because there's either no quotas they have to meet or they're not getting a cut of amounts of the fines given out. One or the other. Here in QC they have that downpat by giving officers monthly quotas of fines to give out and probably given the propensity they all suddenly have for giving out the hefty fines for breaking pandemic rules, they're probably getting a percentage on the fines they give out too.  So it's more lucrative to give a $1,500 fine to a couple walking too close together - as that's $3,000 than a $120 fine for not using your flashers while turning a corner while driving. I mean hmmmm if I was an officer getting a percentage, let me think which would be more lucrative to me too..... Ummmmm nope not the $120 fine.... yup, the $1,500 x 2 fine is way more lucrative even if I get the same percentage. 10% on $120 is only $12 but 10% of $3,000 is $300.... So yeah, I can easily see them opting for that form of ticketing than the highway code violation ticketing. Guess the cops in Ontario aren't getting the same incentives or quotas, so that's why they turn a blind eye and don't do anything.
 
COVID-19: Are you coronamüde with coronafrisur? Learn some of Germany's new 1,200 words I pity them, they not only have to learn about the virus and the ways to deal with and defeat it, but practically a whole new language surrounding it too.

Are there really that many 95+ citizens in Manitoba that they need their own category because they'd be too numerous to handle lumped in with the 85+ group? I mean sheesh, I knew we were living longer overall, but to have a demographic in that age group that is numerous enough to require their own age category is mind boggling to me. 
 
Vaccines to be delivered at 102 pharmacies in Calgary, Edmonton and Red Deer: Shandro That should make it a lot easier for everyone in those areas.

 

I don't blame them, especially when they see their QC counterparts already starting to be vaccinated.
 

 

Quoting the story now: Though the program is still in the planning stages, Dubé likened it to a similar effort in 2009, when the province issued a paper record of vaccination against the H1N1 avian influenza. Only this time, it will be digital.
 
Only one problem with this digital passport. Not everyone has a cellphone nor wants one and some of those who do, don't drag it around with them everywhere they go. Some of us actually feel like it's some kind of ball and chain, rather than feeling naked without it. We as a couple have ONE cellphone for the 2 of us. If we go on a road trip we bring it with us for a variety of reasons, but mostly in case we need road side assistance, or want to use google maps to see how to get somewhere. That's all. Unless one of us gawd forbid has to go into the hospital then they will have the cellphone with them, so the one at home can call them or they can call the one at home or others they'd like to talk to during the day.  Those are the only reasons we use the cellphone. Most of the time it's sitting face down under some papers uncharged. We charge it the night before we need it for one of those purposes named above. Or when I went out west to visit my brother, I brought it with me as it has free across Canada calling on it. So I brought it in order to stay in touch with my family back here without having to run my brother's phone bill up on him.
 
But let's say we as a couple did drag it with us everywhere we went. What happens if we both get the vaccine but have only one cellphone to record a digital passport on? Will both passports go on the same phone together? Or only one? If it's only one, how's that fair to the other person?  Besides what's wrong with the paper passport anyhow? That way he can carry his in his wallet and I can carry mine in my wallet. No phones needed. Besides cellphones aren't free. So if the gov't insists on using our cellphone to record the passport on, maybe the gov'ts should pay for the cellphones for us, that way we can load it up with all their aps and passports and whatever other junk they want us to carry around on it. Naw.... I prefer paper passports, that way there's no hidden tracking BS hidden in QR codes etc that are potentially found on those cellphone passports. 
 
 
WHO panel to recommend deeper probe into farms that supply wet markets in Wuhan You can look in the chairman's grandmother's underpants too but you won't find any traces of it there either. Where it started is where you HAD to look, as in past tense.... As in just shortly after it started before they had time to sanitize things and relocate certain personnel who worked on it. As in that Wuhan lab. Hey why don't you go grill the Gilead techs who worked on redemsivir in China with the Wuhan lab in question? Maybe they can answer the questions if you bother to ask them, that is.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
COVID-19 cases and deaths are starting to rise again. How worried should we be? I'm not worried, I think for now it's just a mild ebb and flow of the numbers. When they really start to surge as they did in the autumn after the UK strain escaped it's bounds in the UK and sauntered across our borders driving the numbers of daily cases up, I'll start to worry again. But for now, it's just a normal ebb and flow of the numbers I think.

 
Health Canada approves AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine Whoo Hoo! That's awesome news! That's the one I want if I get one. My husband too says he'll take this one if he has to take one.

 
Confusion remains around vaccine rollout in Ontario, family doctor says Well look they put Canada's equivalent to GI Joe in there to coordinate the efforts. They might be skilled in combat and walking hundreds of miles in scorching hot heat with 100lb backpacks on singing marching songs, but I wonder how skilled or well trained they are in medicine and in giving vaccinations in particular.

 
China approves two more domestic COVID-19 vaccines for public use Good for them. They can use it on their own people. I wouldn't trust anything they made or approved for use on anything.

 
COVID-19: Face masks may not be needed indoors over summer, deputy chief medical officer suggests Good for them. Because even though we have vaccines now and may have a large percentage of the population inoculated by then, according to Tam our genocidal witch doctor, we'll probably need to go even further than just masks now, by then we may need full body biohazard suits along with chemical and biological warfare masks and have to socially distance by a few kilometers in each direction from everyone else. 

Okay? What's going on here? Is Ford that desperate to know about everyone's every move now?
 

That's how QC operated with the flu shots given out in November.
 

 
New vaccine brings optimism amid rising threat of variants, high case counts Apparently it's also the only one that can easily be tweaked to provide protection against all the strains out there.

As I talked about above.
 
CPP Investments CEO Mark Machin resigns after travelling to UAE for COVID-19 vaccine As he should. I guess he thinks he's special. That he deserves a vaccine ahead of those who's pensions he's in charge of. 

First we have to make sure everyone already here, has a job and a place to live after we finish with this plandemic fiasco we're currently dealing with here. Doncha think? When everyone here is all settled into a place to live complete with decent paying jobs and we still have more job vacancies and housing or apartment vacancies  then we can worry about filling them with more people, but in the meantime let's just take care of those who are already here, properly, before we start importing more people to house and feed on the public dime.

 

 
U.K. Takes Stakes in 37 Firms After Covid Loans Converted Is this what the "debt forgiveness" part of the Great Reset is all about? Where the gov't doles out money to help the companies/people who's affected financially by this plandemic and then forgives their debt if they let the gov't take it over? Is that going to apply to personal real estate property as well, as on mortgages? I think I'm beginning to see the machinations behind this "Great Reset" BS of Gates and Schwabs. 

 
Sudbury holds its first mass vaccination event against COVID-19 in local arena It's good to see they're not dithering and dancing around in panic and fear like the rest of their province is. 

 
COVID-19 cancellations mean Canada Day parade and fireworks will not take place in East York and Beach Of course, got to make everyone has nothing to look forward to, despite the vaccination campaigns. Oh yeah I forgot, in Ontario they'll only just be beginning the campaign considering they aren't even getting to the 60+ group until then!

BS! What happened to the H1N1 pandemic response plan? What'd you do with that? I mean, gawd, what do you take us for anyhow? Total idiots? Or what?
 

Well when you have the vaccine manufacturers in your own country and can issue mandates to make the stuff and then organize vaccination campaigns that's what happens. But when you're blessed with blithering moronic idiots at the helm and no vaccine manufacturers you'll be lucky if you get 100 vaccinations in weeks. I mean look at Ontario.... They have the vaccine now, like the rest of Canada does but it's going to take them over 3 weeks just to start vaccinating anyone. So imagine....
 
Beware of social media: warning for UK dog owners as thefts rise That's very scary. That's why there are no pictures here - except that one sunset picture. Good luck figuring out where that was taken though...

 
Joe Biden marks 50M vaccine doses in 37 days; South Korea, Hong Kong administer first vaccinations; 508K US deaths: Latest COVID-19 updates Gawd it's been 2.5 months or roughly 85 days,  since we started here in Canada and we haven't even gotten 5 million vaccinations done yet!

They don't say if she got the Pfizer, Moderna or the Astra Zeneca one though. Which would've been interesting to know.
 

Good then it should go relatively quickly. 
 

Ahhh poor creatures. I wonder if the vaccines will work on them? Or if modified ones might? 
 
 
Bond markets left smarting from worst rout in years as reflation goes global As I'd never heard of "reflation" before, I had to read this article to get the gist of what it means. Lucky, I did, because it has to do with the plandemic as well.

 
COVID-19 shots for 80+ residents in Windsor-Essex will start Monday. Here's how it will work Welll whatd'ya know!?! There ARE a few people in Ontario, that can figure out what a vaccine's for and how to use it.... My, my, my, wonders never cease.

Afternoon matinees aren't big adult draws. So the only ones who'd be going to the movies at those hours are small kids. Even teenagers would rather see movies at night rather than in the afternoon.
 

That's weird, considering  a few days ago, I posted the headlines to a story where they were all mystified as to why suddenly the cases and deaths were declining. 
 

 
Victory for Dutch government over legal challenge to COVID curfewWondering if they have a constitution that guarantees rights and freedoms like Canada & the US does? If not, then I can certainly see why the courts sided with the gov't.

Oh you mean like all the misinformation published by the lamestream media? Because I have tons and tons of headlines posted in here mostly all from the lamestream media and mostly all of the misinformation, conspiracies and outright fake news originated in the lamestream media - the headlined articles prove that all on their own.
 
Canada approves AstraZeneca's COVID-19 shot, 500,000 doses to arrive next week That's just totally awesome! Doing a small happy dance right now! 

 

So you mean they're able to live a normal life without the gov't interfering and trying to keep them terrified of leaving their bed to go out and live life? Unlike the genocidal witch doctor's efforts here in Canada, where if she has her way we'll be dressed in full biohazard suits with biowarfare masks hiding from the virus and all it's mutations under our beds and in our closets, too afraid to leave the house, even though we're all fully vaccinated and suited up for a biowarfare zone.
 
‘I Am The Proof That God Exists,’ South Florida Woman Beats Coronavirus 150 Days After Being Admitted To Local Hospital Orrrr you just have a very strong will to live..... Could that be possible maybe?

That's very sad.
 

That is just awful! Who's going to care for, look out for and teach those kids?  What's going to happen to them now?
 

These hospitals are in India.
 

I guess Texas isn't enough of a disaster zone after that major freeze & thaw. Now he wants to make it into a covid death zone too, I guess.
 

Well not here, if people are flocking to beaches it probably has more to do with either ice fishing or skating than sunbathing or swimming. As for parks, yup, because that's the only places they can go really for fun, except to afternoon movie matinees maybe.
 
Covid-19 Death Toll In California Tops 50,000; Highest In The US That's probably due to that rough Californian variant they have going around there.

Like I said before, this is just total stupidity period. It's not those people that everyone should be mad at about this virus. Unless the head of China, his party and the lab workers who worked on it and released are in that crowd of people in the US everyone is prejudiced against, and I sincerely doubt that. 
 
New coronavirus variants, possible third wave will impact whether Canada gets back to normal: Trudeau And the 4th and the 5th and the 999th and the 3,999th wave.... There's over 4,000 variants already identified and I'm sure there's more out there than just those 4,000. Like I said it's like the waves on the ocean - just never stops.  So at some point people have to say "hey, we've had enough of these waves, we're just going to have to take our chances at living or issue us all pill to take to end it all right now". I mean what's the point of waking up every morning if it's going to be another day of doing nothing and going nowhere because of some virus, that we've supposedly been vaccinated against? I mean if that's the case, why bother getting vaccinated to begin with because there will always be another variant on the loose trying to get us and do us in, vaccination or not, so might as well say "F it, I'm going to live until I die - whichever way that might be, but I refuse to be kept as a prisoner of the state in my own house" and just resume living life normally - whether the wanna-be dictators like it or not.

 

 

 

Well according to the QC pharmacists association's newsletter the first known patient was a woman from NY who came to visit in Montreal around the holidays of 2019 - so late December 2019. So this is a bunch of hogwash like everything that came out of Arruda's mouth back then - CTV Montreal news showed a "flashback" of the news reports from a year ago as a means of "commemorating" the year. He lied like a rug and he knew it, given the smirk all over his face. I remember being furious at him when I saw him on TV feeding us a line of BS about how we didn't need masks and with washing our hands we'd be fine. I wanted to jump through the TV screen and strangle him on the spot then. Since then it's just been one lie after another from everyone to do with this plandemic. CTV news DID have a doctor on once (and I wish I made note of his name) who WAS TELLING IT LIKE IT IS, but like I said it was once and only once. Guess we're not allowed to hear the truth, only BS by the shoveloads so whatever doctor is willing to violate his oath by lying to the public about it, they'll get to put on TV in order to continue feeding us BS.
 

 

 

 
Why we need to rethink COVID-19 risk as the weather warms up Allow small risks to counter fatigue? Is it? Or is it to counter all out revolt? I think the all out revolt is more likely.

 

 

 

That's a pretty hefty amount there. With almost 2 Trillion Dollars they should be able to put a pretty good dent in whatever damage the virus is wreaking across their country - health and economy wise.
 
 
 
 
 
Coronavirus editorial cartoon gallery There are several cartoons here going back to the beginning of the plandemic I think. Anyhow we all need a laugh every now and then so why not check it out?

Or maybe not at all.
 
Feeling unmotivated? Here are 12 ideas for sparking and maintaining motivation Yup, I know the feeling about not feeling motivated.

This is seriously scary. I do hope that anyone needing help gets it, before it's too late.
 

Very sad.
 
New Zealand's largest city, Auckland, goes in lockdown after 1 new Covid-19 case found That's a lot like taking a sledge hammer to kill a flee. Big time overkill going on there.

 

Another one of those totally unexpected covid headlines.... 
 

That seems to be par for the course when it comes to this disease. No one is going to tell you. They won't tell you if you had/have antibodies, they apparently won't tell you if have a variant. But they WILL tell you even if you're asymptomatic that you have it and need to self isolate for 14 days.
 

 
 

Now if only Canada would approve of their vaccine, it'd give us that much more to use.
 
One of the strongest weapons against COVID-19 variants may be a vaccine the FDA hasn't approved yet Yes! I'm glad this one is turning out to probably be the best one out there for several reasons!

Wondering if they'll do that in Canada too....
 

Wow! I don't believe it! I actually managed to get through all the headlines I'd accumulated in my bookmark folder! 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.

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.
