Spring is in the Air, So is Lots of Hope & A Little Despair Over....

Covid19

March 10, 2021

With temperatures like we had today of +9C or about 48F it certainly feels like spring is in the air, but the ground is still covered in snow and ice. There's not a sprig of green vegetation to be seen anywhere except the boreal forest trees that are in the area. But the leafy trees don't even have leaf buds on them yet, so it doesn't appear anywhere near as close to spring as the picture above depicts. I chose it primarily to help lift my spirits and maybe others.

With more and more people being vaccinated now, there's less and less news about the virus itself, except in the cases of the virulent strains that's sprung up recently. I'm hoping and praying they don't start spreading like the original strain did, because otherwise we're in trouble, especially if some of the vaccinated people who got covid again was because of those strains. 

Anyhow, things are looking up with an ominous shadow behind the hope, that we just hope doesn't overtake the hope we have and diminish or extinguish it altogether, with it's virulence and death dominating all hope. So we have to be vigilant and try as much as we can to prevent it from getting into our population and spreading like crazy. 

Now on with the headlines.... 

Oh I can imagine, the disbelief and despair when you suddenly lose your multimillion dollar jobs. I remember the disbelief and despair poor old De Niro and Madonna expressed. It was poor lil ole me, I only have 3 million left in my bank account until my next gig, what am I going to do? Kind of BS I was reading while sneering at them, thinking well as a senior citizen here in Canada it's good everything of mine is paid, because I've only got $300 left in my bank account until the end of the month, what ever in the world am I going to do? Oh poor lil ole me.... And wondering how much some less well off seniors have until their next cheque arrives. It's really hard to get behind stars like that, when they come up with sheite like that, knowing how well off they are compared to most other people on planet earth, considering they figure in the 1%ers while the rest of us 99%ers are way below them in income and acquired wealth. I mean if you're that broke sell something, like some jewellry or one of your paintings or other things of worth or if you need more than that brings in sell off one of your gazillion properties you have all over the place. So I'm sorry if I can't sympathize with any of you, but that's life. Here's the story about De Niro whining about the pandemic: Robert De Niro Whines That COVID Hurt His Finances: ‘Lucky If He Makes $7.5 Million This Year’ and I'm sure it's in the blog somewhere, but incase I didn't post a link to it, here it is....  I'm sure there's also a link in the headlines in my blog to the story about Madonna too... But um yeah... How can you empathize with these self centered, self-entitled narcissists? I know I can't.

Thailand to quarantine foreign tourists on yachts, not in hotels  That almost makes me want to go to Thailand.  Well in all honesty that is one of the places I would love to go sequestered on a yacht or not.

 
 
 
Quebec to expand vaccination to people 65 and up in Montreal area: health minister Soooo.... It's starting to look like there might be some hope for more and more people. At least in the Montreal area.

 
Covid-19: Brazil experts issue warning as hospitals 'close to collapse' Yeah this is one of the things we have to seriously be concerned about. About it getting into Canada (it is already here, but hopefully in small enough numbers to contain it) and running rampant like it's doing in Brazil.
 

 
 
 

I wish QC would do the same. Because right now all that's on offer to us is Pfizer's and Moderna's, despite the fact that we're getting some of the AstraZeneca vaccine too.
 

 
WHO study finds 1 in 3 women face physical, sexual violence Wow! I would've never believed the numbers were so high! That's scary, considering many of them have no recourse, and no justice and some of them wind up dying on top of that. 
 
 
 
Just Eat sales surge 50% in lockdown to €2.4bn Now if the restaurants that use those services only thought of how much money they and their customers could save if they only had their own delivery service. Nearly every restaurant (except fast food chain restaurants) in the area, has their own delivery service. I mean cars owned by the restaurant that are used by restaurant employee delivery personnel who are paid by the hour by the restaurant to deliver all their delivery orders. So if they have a few different orders from the same areas, they give them all to one delivery person going in that region to deliver one behind the other, while the other driver does another region of the delivery area. 

 

 
Aide alimentaire: le point sur la situation That's why we should continue to donate to our local food banks and centre benevoles. The plandemic isn't over and most people who lost their jobs especially in rural areas like this, haven't regained their employment yet.

 

 

 

 
 
 
One in three Americans on unemployment benefits struggle to pay for food, housing - survey That's very sad. None of that should've happened if the gov'ts had've handled this plandemic properly and not the way Gates and Schwab laid out in their 201 Event conference. 

Canada to benefit from U.S. rebound, says OECD Like a mangy dog running round the dinner table looking for dinner scraps?  Because from what I've seen and read about Biden's USA, he's no more charitable to Canada than Trump was and he's as much a nationalist as Trump was too. So there's not apt to be too much falling off their plates onto Canada's floor, if Biden has anything to do with it.

Riggghhhhttttt..... Meanwhile they have no problems churning out 100 million doses for the American market as per a headlines above.  Mr. Dressup is nothing more than a gullible moronic idiot, that everyone knows they can tell stories to and get away with their lies and so they do. Just like J&J - meanwhile there's stories elsewhere in the press that exposes their lies.
 
Exclusive: J&J 'under stress' to meet EU second-quarter vaccine supply goal - source Funny they don't seem to be under any such stress when it comes to supplying the Americans 100 million doses. 

 

Russia to make Sputnik V vaccine in Italy; a 1st in EU I guess that means the EU will have other options for a vaccine after-all.  

 

 
120 000 $ pour contrer l’insécurité alimentaire causée par la pandémie en Estrie That amount of money should make a dent in several people's hunger, or at least I hope it does.

 

 
Happy campers: More overnight camps to reopen this summer Cdns don't get overly excited here, because unless they open the borders for Cdns to go touring the US or for non essential travel, you won't be able to partake of those overnight campgrounds.

Is that from the first dose given in the world as in the UK, or just the first dose given in the US?
 
RBC Canadian Open cancelled for second year in a row Well here's this post's cancellation...

 

 
Record Lego sales as people look for lockdown distractions Our kids - our son in particular loved Lego or the Cdn equivalent called Mega Blocks that at the time made a lot of different themed building sets and were much cheaper than Lego. 

 

 

 
Parks Canada cancels this year's Festival of Birds at Point Pelee National Park due to COVID-19 And yet another cancellation. Which for the life of me, I can't see why, as this is an outdoor event where there should be plenty of room for everyone to maintain their distance, while watching birds.
 
Money mule recruiters use fake online job adverts to target ‘generation COVID’ Generation COVID, well I must say, that's a new one on me.


 
Ontario Police College outbreak reaches more than 100 COVID-19 cases With any luck they'll all get it and die. I'm sorry but the way the cops have been behaving across Canada with their power tripping mania and ticket happy behaviour I have turned against cops in a big way. Now I see them as nothing more than the gov't's thugs, that's all.

Halifax police want COVID-19 vaccine priority, but Public Health says no  Good I'm 100% behind NS' Public Health officer that decided that.  

 

 

 

 

 

Anyhow, I am falling asleep at the keyboard now, so it's time to quit for the night. More headlines next time.... Until then take care & stay well.

Looking Back Over the Year & Recognizing Those Who Served & Protected Us From....

 Covid19


 Courtesy Pixabay.com
March 9, 2021

Today's headlines are filled with the reflections of the year gone by in various aspects of it, among other things. 

The Canadian gov't chose to send a tweet out to all health care workers thanking them for their service. I chose to thank all front line workers, whether that be health care workers or the grocery store clerks or pharmacists, or teachers, or taxi and bus drivers, emergency sector workers - from the 911 operator to the ambulance driver and fireman (excepting cops as the only "help" they're providing is filling the gov't coffers by gouging the eyes out of everyone they see with fines). They all deserve recognition for their help in keeping us safe and society going. 

That doesn't mean I'm letting the medical professionals off the hook though, because anyone or all of them could've rang the alarm bells and told the imbeciles at the helm to close the border now, when it should've been done,  - think of that Game of Thrones episode where a man freaks out screaming close the gates, close the gates, close the gates. Well that's what anyone of the medical professionals could've done or if they were afraid of doing it on their own gotten together as a group and doing it together. If any of you cowards had've done that at the beginning we wouldn't be going through this now. And had haggy the witch doctor summarily dismissed as head of the Canadian Public Health agency and her license yanked as well and told Haggydodo where the pastel crayons and paint brushes crossed the road - which wasn't in the health ministry, but rather down the road in the kindergarten's art class.

Now sit back and get comfortable as there's lots of headlines to get through, which I doubt I'll manage before passing out, but I'll give it my best shot....

So it's not just me, losing my mind because of my age, younger people are too and it's because of the plandemic. Phew! That's good to know!
 
Study of Aggressive Covid-19 Strain in Brazil Suggests Limits of China Vaccine  I wouldn't doubt it, because basically everything made in China is second rate.

 
In 2018, Diplomats Warned of Risky Coronavirus Experiments in a Wuhan Lab. No One Listened. Aha! The truth is finally starting to come out now! Hopefully, some investigative reporter or others will follow up on this information and dig deeper to finally come up with the  truth once and for all.

 
Spit Swapping, Hard Pants and Hope: New Ads Envision Post-Pandemic Life I can envision sexier, prettier, more fun things to to do than licking someone else's face. Gawd, when my dogs do that people get revolted by it, but when other people do it, they seem to think it's fine.....

 
U.S. Coronavirus Cases Post Slowest Spread Since Pandemic Began  That's good. Maybe the tide is changing on this plandemic.

It's the US, Texas to be precise, so why would that be out of the ordinary? Seems like that's probably an everyday occurrence there for whatever excuse they want to use to call ICE on someone. 

 
How you take your coffee may reveal much about your personality Yes indeed, there is a  tie-in to the plandemic in this article too. I mean what isn't there a plandemic tie-into these days? As for us, we have Tassimo coffee maker and had it long before COVID came along. We bought it because we like having different types of coffee without paying mega-bucks per cup for it. We can have everything from plain coffee, to swiss mocha, McD's or Tim Horton's coffees to double espresso, plain espresso, latte, French Vanilla or even Capucino, Chai Tea and even once there were some hot chocolate pods available for it. All that at a reasonable price, without leaving home to have one. But in our case the plandemic didn't play into our decision to buy that coffee maker as we had it long before the plandemic started.

 

They're going full steam ahead.
 
New U.S. COVID-19 cases fall 12% last week, vaccinations top 2 million a day "vaccinations top 2 million a day".... Gawd, we can't even get 2 million vaccinations a month done, nevermind in a day.

 
'It's been a good week': Tam hopeful on vaccines as pandemic anniversary nears She'd better be hopeful about the vaccines, considering all deaths, suffering (caused by all facets of this plandemic) are squarely on her's, Mr. Dressup's & the art teacher's shoulders!!!!!! All of it. In fact I hope as soon as this is over and all you imbeciles get voted out of office you're all grabbed and tried for crimes against humanity. 

 
International Women's Day: A look at the women who helped shape Canada's pandemic response I don't know what the F Freeland and haggy the witch doctor Tam have to be so proud about here. But yeah the witch doctor helped shape the pandemic alright, the response not so much, it was the other 2 pictures here Hinshaw and Henry who did more to shape the response than the other beitches shown. Government propaganda by cartloads here. The witch doctor Tam was responsible for letting this into the country and then telling everyone oh you don't need to worry just wash your hands and you'll be fine - and in fact forbade us to wear masks and did sfa to prevent it but did everything in her power to help it spread. So that one needs to be held criminally responsible for negligence causing mass senicide if not mass genocide. 

 
MPs back Bloc motion to boost seniors benefits in upcoming budget That little mother F'n weasel faced ash hole had better pass it. Or I'll be looking for his head on a stick. Think of me as a Vlad the Impaler fan.... Gawd, I hate the little imbecile so f'n much it's unreal. He and the rest of the ash holes in power are the reason why I'm quitting this blog on the 16th (precisely 1 week away, Yippie can't wait!) because of all the anger, upset and ulcers they cause me. Like I said the other night, I wish I had a rocket launcher sometimes.... Gawd, do I ever. I wish the military surplus had some I could buy.
 

 
The Latest: Ireland reaches half million vaccinations Even they're 1 month faster than QC'ers are!

 
Canada takes steps to make 'feminist' budget addressing women's post-pandemic challenges Sure at the expense of the seniors, yet again. Why not!?! Do you ash holes in the Lieberal gov't not realize that it's the seniors that brought your sorry ungrateful self-centered asses into this world to start with????? That's YOUR PARENTS GENERATION (you know the ones that fed, clothed, supported, sheltered and sacrificed for your ungrateful ashes) that you're sheiting on here and continually ignoring to death? Literally - we're being ignored to death - that's what that senicide was all about and I hope every mother f'n one of you ash holes in the Lieberal party are held criminally responsible for that including you Lizard Lady Freeland (big assed cry baby).  Gawd, I can't stand the sight of any of you inbred self-centered idiots.

 
US officials believe Russia launched a disinformation campaign against the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to boost the status of its own: Report Just how would that boost the status of their own if the 2 vaccines aren't being offered in the same countries? 

 
Scientifically safe, but Astrazeneca skeptics remain Hey that's okay by me. If someone doesn't want their designated dose because they're afraid of it, they can have my designated mRNA based vaccine dose if they're prefer and I'll take their Astrazeneca dose any day of the week.

Wow! That's just awesome! Hope the trend continues like that.
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 
Struggling EU urges US to agree to export of Covid vaccines They better f'n NOT! Especially considering Biden said an unequivocal NO to both Mexico and Canada for vaccines (and we're both bordering the US) and on top of that the EU didn't want to honor Cdn contracts for vaccines made there and let them be sent to us. So NO I hope they don't get any help from the US and it'll serve them right and they'll get a taste of their own medicine for a change! Nothing like Instant Karma.

 

 
Bernie Sanders Wants Us To Start Dating Again In other words he wants us to all start living again, which I think is what we all want.

 

 
Quebec reports 749 new COVID-19 cases, 10 deaths as province expands vaccine access Yeah amazingly, my husband just got his written "invitation" from the gov't to register to get his vaccination today. That's freaking amazing since we live in the Monteregie which up until now wasn't vaccinating anyone.

Of course not, because the focus of attention from the Lieberal party changes like a freaking whirligig in a tornado. One second it's kids, the next it's women and everywhere else except of course where it should be - on the health and medical sector and seniors. Nope got to ignore those even though we're in the midst of a plandemic that's causing a senicide.  Talk about short sighted idiots and ash holes....
 

 

The latest numbers on COVID-19 in Canada for Saturday, March 6, 2020. The title is wrong. It should be March 6, 2021.
 

 

People must prove valid reason for travel abroad from Monday - or face £200 fine Yet another excuse to gouge people's eyes out of their heads with fines.... When are they going to start fining them for breathing extra air? I mean like when someone finished running and is panting for air or yawning or breathing heavy? Considering the way gov'ts are fining everyone for everything, it's coming. It's just a matter of when and how much is all. Same with coughing, sneezing, breaking wind, sniffling and sighing as well.
 

Domestic tourism facing unprecedented crisis Well what can you expect when you're permitted to travel only within your zones? Like us for example, we're confined to the Montreregie (where we live), Montreal and Laval, we can't go anywhere else because nowhere else is a red zone like we're in. So if I'm going to Montreal or Laval a mere matter of minutes away for both, why would I rent a hotel there even if I were permitted to do so while it maintains the red zone status? As for things to see there - well outdoor parks I suppose, and a few museums but all the restaurants, bars, pubs, nightclubs of any kind, movie theatres (after 7pm) and just about everything else is closed or closes at 7:30pm due to the 8pm curfew.
 

As Quebec City restaurants prepare to reopen, some say they aren't ready Meanwhile there's tons of restaurants in the red zone that's chafing at the bit to reopen but aren't allowed to.
 

Restaurants taking on the cold in hopes of recouping some pandemic losses In Ottawa. But I don't see how putting tables inside tents is any different than allowing customers inside an unheated restaurant to eat. 
 

 
One month after major COVID-19 outbreak, workers call for prison inmates to get vaccine Personally I don't see anything wrong with QC's stance on this. Inoculate the guards and warden, fine, but the inmates. phf, they get what they bargained for. If they wanted to be treated  good all they had to do was behave like everyone else and they would've been, but since they didn't, oh well, tough noogies for them.

South Korea, U.S. scale back military drill over coronavirus Yet another aspect of how it's having an affect on society.
 
Boulder Police: CU partygoers assault officers, damage property  I would've never in the past condoned assaulting a cop, but lately, I'm among the group that would love to have at them for their brutish over the top thuggery and power tripping mania, especially here in QC.

Two Montreal drivers fined over $4,000 for driving on closed roads during the curfew Here's a classic example of what I was just talking about. I bet there's lower fines for those infractions, but I bet the cops involved wrote out the tickets for the highest amounts they could (probably because they get a percentage of the fines they give out). 
 
Vaccine passport for international travel 'very live' discussion among G7 countries: Hajdu And Hajdodo is super excited about this, so excited it looked like she might be peeing her pants, anticipating it - probably hoping she can break out her box of crayons to be the one to design them for the G7 or at least for Canada.

 
What still worries Dr. Theresa Tam one year into the COVID-19 pandemic Ummmmm.... Lessee now.... Being tried for criminal negligence causing senicide and genocide???? Betcha she is but she won't voice that worry because she doesn't want anyone to think there might be any legitimacy to it. 

 

Three Hamilton city employees put on paid leave after allegedly giving COVID-19 vaccines to people not in priority group So now people in that Hamilton work group who desperately wants a paid vacation, knows what to do to get one. 
 

 
Over 30 people pick up $1,550 fines for gathering at Quebec ski chalet More power tripping ticket happy cops out there I see...

Hajdu talks vaccine certificates as Tam looks to 'optimism' of inoculation rollout Like I said Haggydodo is super excited over the certificates because she probably thinks since she's an art major and not an actual health anything masquerading as our health minister, that she's probably the more qualified person amongst her counterparts to design the passports as the rest of them probably have some medical training and 0 art training.
 
First death related to COVID-19 reported in the 19 and under age group Sunday Very sad and scary. I hope that's not a harbinger of things to come.

I don't know why when they could visit: Gutenberg Canada   or:  Welcome to Project Gutenberg  for electronic ebooks for free in both English and French and at the original Project Gutenberg site, other languages as well. Plus there's other places on the internet that has free books in both French & English as well. They don't even have to leave home for that or worry about due dates on the books either. 

 

 
Quebec families, athletes call for return of team sports Actually we're calling for more than that, we're calling for a return to our normal lives.

Quebec to go against advice from national vaccine panel and give AstraZeneca to 65+ Good I hope that's the one they give my husband. I know that's the one I want.
 

 

Quebec teachers unions take province to court over air quality in classrooms I hope the teachers unions win this case because lighting and air quality in classrooms was the bane of my life when I went to school. 

Canada adds 2,820 new coronavirus cases as global deaths top 2.6 millionFor those wanting the numbers, quoting the story now: Globally, 117,424,768 people have contracted the virus, according to a tally from Johns Hopkins University. So far, the virus has claimed 2,608,231 lives around the world. The United States remains the viral epicentre of the coronavirus, with more than 29 million infections and over 527,000 fatalities.

GTA malls entering grey zone use staff at doors, tech to track capacity

Ottawa expands COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to people born in or before 1931 So.... They're expanding the eligibility to the 90+s now.... So who were they vaccinating before this???? Centenarians? If that's the case, how many freaking centenarians are there in Ottawa anyhow???

How this business is helping Canadians cure their COVID rage, one swing at a time This is totally F'n ridiculous and a waste of time, energy, and pent up rage.... Instead focus it with all your strength and energy and rage on ways of ending this BS. Protest, petition, flout the laws and swamp the courts with contestations of the fines and punitive measures, demand an end to this draconian BS from the gov't in no uncertain terms. THAT MIGHT HELP NOT ONLY ALLEVIATE YOUR PENT UP RAGE, BUT PREVENT IT FROM RECURRING DUE TO YOU HAVING FORCED THE GOV'T TO CHANGE THE LAWS, SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO GET SO ANGRY ANYMORE. Besides doing that not only helps you, but it helps all of us as well AND ADDED BONUS IS YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY SOMEONE IN ORDER TO VENT YOUR RAGE LIKE THAT!!!!! So you get to keep whatever money these clowns with bricks and sledge hammers are charging you. Failing that buy your own sledge hammer and bricks, I'm sure it'll wind up being cheaper than what you're paying those bozos, in the long run.

I realize it was international women's day yesterday, but still that doesn't diminish the role that men played in keeping us well and safe too, and they need recognition for their efforts as well, I think.
