Well as we all know by now, we got stuck with the same cretin in power. That was a colossal waste of time and money, having that election! He could've given most of that to help those who need help the most, like the homeless, the poor, the disabled and people like that instead of blowing $650 million on his own grab for power, the vain little wanna-be dictator, because he didn't get any more power than he already had. I don't know as I can stand any more of his BS or not. I've pretty much had my fill already.
As Monday was an excellent day for another boat ride, my friend invited me to go with her. We spent quite a bit of time on the water going all over the place. Exploring different places that even she had never gone to before. It was quite interesting and lots of fun.
Tuesday, was bill paying time and doing errands that needed to be done - you know like picking up a loaf of bread, dropping something off for someone etc... Those sorts of errands.
Wednesday I got to sit in the car and wait (because of Covid) while my husband went to the dentist's to get some work done. When we got home I made some clam chowder and boxed Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits for supper (sorry but I found them to be rather dry and didn't really like them so we gave the rest to our neighbour).
Yesterday I made some bread, but basically spent most of the day and night sleeping. I don't know what hit me, but I could barely keep my eyes open. It's then that I had a ton of bad bad dreams. Holy gawd, they have to have been the worst dreams I've ever had in my entire life.Talk about a horror story. I woke up with bruises all over one of my arms, so I must've been fighting someone or something, that's for sure.
Even today I'm having a tough time of it, but so far, knocking on wood, I'm managing to keep my eyes open. I finished working on the heart shaped floral wreath (couldn't find a floral wreath pic, but found that one at the top instead) this afternoon, amid a lot of cussing and cursing and screams of pain each time I burnt a finger with the hot glue. But alas it's done. Now I hope that what I made to hang it up with, holds and it doesn't fall down and break after all that work. I know I managed to pick it up off the table holding it by the hanger I made, but that was only for a few seconds. I hope it'll hold much longer than that when we finally hang it up. Which should be later on today before supper.
Meanwhile I've accumulated a huge backlog of Covid 19 headlines. Some of which I want to get rid of by posting them in here. As I don't know what my husband has planned for later on, I don't know how many or few of them I'll get to post in here, but whatever amount that is, it'll make my bookmark file that much smaller. So pull up a chair, get a glass of lemonade or whatever you like and start reading.

Joe Biden lashes out at China for withholding 'critical information' on Covid origins Do you honestly think they'll tell you? They don't want to be held responsible at the Hague for Crimes against Humanity and have to pay reparations for that! They're not crazy enough to admit to something like this if they can get away with it!

Quebec defends vaccine passport system after politicians' QR codes allegedly hacked We printed ours out and took them to Bureau en Gros (Staples in the rest of Canada) and had them shrink them to wallet size and laminate them for us. So now they're in our wallets like all other gov't issued ids are. We just show that when we go somewhere that requires it, instead of an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper that we had to fold up to bring in our wallets with us and that the people with their cellphone readers had a hard time reading. Now it's small enough to fit in our wallet and in their screenshot all at the same time.

Why Canadians need to keep their guard up in the 4th wave — even if they're fully vaccinated Especially if you've had the Pfizer vaccine, as that seems to be little better than a placebo compared to the Moderna vaccine.
369 new Sask. COVID-19 cases marks largest single-day increase since January
Ontario reports 835 new COVID-19 cases; highest single-day case count since June 4
How bad is Canada’s 4th COVID-19 wave getting? Here’s a look at the data
COVID-19: Premier says police will enforce vaccine card rules Looks like BC is adopting the same gestapo measures prevalent here in QC.
Quebec reports more than 600 new daily COVID-19 cases for the third consecutive day
Wuhan facilities shed light on China’s oversight on wildlife use
Canada suspending direct passenger flights from Morocco
New poll finds 96 per cent of Quebec teachers are vaccinated against COVID-19 They probably knew they wouldn't have a choice eventually, that the QC would mandate it sometime in the future. But aside from that, a lot of the schools are big petri dishes with all kinds of viruses and bacteria floating around and mingling with each other in each new host they come into contact with. So it's probably to their benefit that they got vaccinated. Hopefully they were vaccinated with a vaccine that actually works and not the Pfizer placebo.
‘Scapegoating China’: Beijing denounces US report on COVID origin Yeah that's a likely story, them being scapegoats on this. For that to be the case, it would have to be untrue that that virus came from China and excuse me, but the last time I checked Wuhan was located in China. Ergo, it's a fact and not untrue.
The G20's coronavirus agenda This looks like a lot of huff n puff with no fire and brimstone, but only a bunch of hot air. In other words they've concocted another reason for them to all fly off to some exotic destination, get stinking drunk and participate in a bunch of orgies on their taxpayers dimes. That's about the size of it as they're aiming basically to do a whole lot of nothing more than they're doing now.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Screw your freedom' remarks leads to a sponsorship loss Aha! the nazi in Mr. "I'll be Back" is starting to creep out and show! I'm sure he'll manage just fine even though he had a bunch of repercussions from this remark. Mr. Money Bags can probably live very comfortably on his wealth that he currently has, until he dies and then some.
A year and a half after Sweden decided not to lock down, its COVID-19 death rate is up to 10 times higher than its neighbors That's not good at all. I don't know what they think they accomplished from this if anything, but it looks like a dismal failure to me.
Federal health agency first in Canada to suspend COVID briefings during election Yeah, why'd we need to know how good or bad things were going during the election anyhow? It was enough just to know they were going, is all, apparently. In which direction is another story, but I guess they didn't want to tell us incase it was in the wrong direction and reflected on Mr. Genocidal Maniac and made him lose his tenuous minority gov't. Which he only regained with that waste of money he spent for an election. The power hungry monster, lost his bid for more power. Whoo Hoo! At least there's that. Too bad he didn't lose altogether.

HEARTBREAKING REALITY Medics reveal horror of ‘talking dead’ Covid patients who are awake but can’t survive without machines due to damage That's why those machines shouldn't be used. Because the people who come off of them rarely survive anyhow and all they're doing is prolonging the patient's misery. I know it gives the doctors and nurses in ICU units something to do and to complain about how over worked they are, but really those respirators are what's causing all that overwork and for nothing. Because the patient will inevitably die because of the damage being intubated normally does to a person's insides. So they're probably better off living or dying without being hooked up to those machines and let them either make it or not with the other medical treatments available other than those stupid machines. If they can't make it with the other medical treatments, then they aren't going to make it if they get put on a respirator, so tell them to make peace with the deity they believe in give their last words to their loved ones either via phone or facetime and let them go peacefully.
Switzerland warns of terror attacks on Covid-19 vaccine sites Oh just peachy keen.... Something else for us to get worried about. But what are they going to strike first? The vaccine infrastructure like manufacturers and transportation hubs, or are they going to prefer hitting bigger targets like electrical infrastructures and water supplies? Seems to me those last 2 would afffect way way more people than the vaccination manufacturers since a lot of people in nations that have such facilities are already vaccinated.
Greek police use tear gas, water canon during Athens vaccine protest Greece the home of the democracy is using draconian authoritarian methods to quell dissent now eh?

Parts of the country are running out of oxygen supply as COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations soar
Hostile school board meetings have members calling it quits I've never seen so many contentious issues over one thing, as I've seen over this one virus. It's unbelievable the amount of issues contentious & otherwise this virus has generated.
Trudeau climate promises interrupted by angry crowd in Ontario People were finally coming out to protest against this moronic imbecile. He's one to talk about listening to science. If he listened to actual scientists on handling infectious diseases, he'd have never let this disease cross our borders and would've clamped down strict and hard on incoming travellers the moment we heard about this virus in the news. Nevermind, worrying about offending people. How many people do you think got offended when one of their loved ones contracted the virus? And how many others were even more offended to the point of livid rage maybe on account of the loved one dying from it? Oh but we mustn't offend any Chinese travellers, because gawd forbid.... Instead of listening to Tam the genocidal traitor, who wanted to let in as many Chinese people as she could possibly get into Canada before closing the borders and instead listened to any infectious disease specialist worth his degree, would've told the imbecile "you need to close the borders down now and as tight as possible until this plandemic is over with". That would've been listening to science and not some genocidal beitche with an agenda, like Tam.
Trudeau says he won't back down after protesters hurl death threats, racist and sexist slurs Guess he thought if he didn't back down he'd have a majority in gov't now and could therefore identify all those people and arrest them and put them on the torture rack for the things they said and did and no one would be able to stop him from doing that either. Little clueless wanna be dictator clown.
O'Toole doesn't distance himself from candidate who warns of a 'climate lockdown' I wouldn't doubt it, except he won't call it a climate lockdown, instead it'll be some incredible tsunami wave of covid that's going to get us if we don't lockdown. Considering all the stories that came out last year about how clean the environment was and how nature was taking back the earth with wild animals wandering freely in the streets and the clean air etc. So in order to achieve that again, there may well be some gigantic scary boogey man strain of this virus (made up and hyped in the media as a real strain) to get us to stay home no matter how many booster shots and vaccines we've had. Even if we've had every vaccine and booster shot given we'll still be warned against venturing outside without 25 layered masks and the like and just for safe measure we'll need to be at least 100 feet away from everyone else. Ergo one person in the store at all times, so no personnel will be working there, just the guy outside who allows 1 client in at a time and they'll have to use automated cash registers and bag everything themselves. That's maybe what it's coming to. And everyone will have to work from home forever.

The World Is Still Short of Everything. Get Used to It. It's called work arounds or make your own. This is when people get creative and inventive, trying to find ways to attain that thing they so desperately want or need. So they try to find ways of making or fixing it themselves without the much needed item. Sometimes they're only temporary solutions but they work just long enough until the real thing can be had. And sometimes that's all that's needed. Other times they may be more permanent solutions like someone who wants a new livingroom set but can't get one in a timely fashion may just decide to reupholster the one they have - either have it done professionally or do it themselves. It's called making do and getting by, what my parents were brought up doing in the early part of the last century, especially during the depression era (and ingrained in me from a young age - they called it improvisation).

McDonald's, others consider closing indoor seating amid Delta surge in U.S. Consider closing? Geez there's restaurants around here that never reopened, but are still operating on take out and delivery only. One of the restaurant owners told me he's not reopening until the plandemic is 100% over with and he'll just do take out & delivery until then.

Alberta government backbencher denies advocating for COVID case spike in unvaccinated This only goes to prove my theory that to be in government the only requirements is to be a braindead moron who's too stupid to think.

Doctor's orders: 'Nature prescriptions' see rise amid pandemic I can certainly understand, considering that when we moved here to this location it was a rural agricultural community, now there's more and more houses and cement around and now it's being classified as suburban rural. The agriculture has gone from the classifications. That's one of the reasons we want to sell and move. To find somewhere as beautiful, serene and pristine as it was here when we moved here 35 years ago. I know there are a lot of places like that out there, as we've seen a few on the MLS.Ca site. If we could only get this place sold then maybe we could buy and move to one of those places and be at one with nature again. That would be awesome!
When COVID Deaths Are Dismissed Or Stigmatized, Grief Is Mixed With Shame And Anger
Corporate America launches massive lobbying blitz to kill key parts of Democrats’ $3.5 trillion economic plan Get this.... Companies like Pfizer and Astra Zeneca (the very same companies that relied on the US' gov't approval to be able to sell their vaccines out there in the world) are against this bill that would basically put more Americans on a more level footing with Canadians as far as medicare, and child care and social safety nets goes. They're against such things, because it'll raise their taxes. Maybe the US should remedey that problem by implementing a special tax just for them on each of the products that they sell, that can't be charged to the client and that they have to pay like overhead from their profit. Andddd now that they know Moderna is better than their covid vaccine placebos, drag their ashes at any more approvals on anything to do with those vaccines and make them wait and wait and wait some more until they give up and throw the dice in.
In Israel, Being Fully Vaccinated Now Means Three Shots Yup, and that's probably only for the next 2-3 months until those start waning and then they'll need more shots and more shots forever and a year until the virus is either totally eradicated or the person dies, which ever comes first.

'You should stay in the U.S.': U.S. ironically tells American travellers to 'reconsider travel' to Canada, despite soaring numbers This is just another example of how ignorant and clueless they are about other countries and the standing of other countries in certain things. Even one of their 2 border nations they're totally clueless about, especially when it comes to comparing case & vaccination numbers between the two nations. Anyhow I look at it this way, they're welcome to stay home and not come here. At least that way they won't be showing up at the border with their fake vaccination cards and viruses. Which will inevitably keep us Canadians safer. So essentially they're doing us a favour here.

Scientists studying immune response to new South African Covid variant
Ontario reports 656 new COVID-19 cases, two-thirds in unvaccinated people So that means that there's almost 220 vaccinated people in those numbers. So it doesn't appear that the vaccines are working all that well. There should be almost no vaccinated people in those numbers if the vaccines were up to snuff. But they're not. In fact the Pfizer one is almost useless after a certain period of time and certain strains arrive on the scene.
Do vaccine mandates violate Canadians' charter rights?
Vaccines not enough to stop fourth wave of COVID-19 in Canada, experts warn Of course not, especially not, when we're using half baked vaccines in a half ashed fashion, where this person gets this vaccine which is the strongest, another one gets another vaccine that's not quite as strong and other gets what might pass off as water on some days. Those are all varying strengths of vaccines, but none of them use the same recipe. They all use different methods and recipes and they're all given out half ashed. So the virus has time to adapt to this vaccine at this dose and to that vaccine at that dosage and to those who aren't vaccinated and then to make the rounds again, only this time in different hosts than the original ones, so another vaccine and dosage to adapt to and on it goes. So it creates strain after strain and strength of strain after strength. Get your mother loving acts together and settle on one vaccine once and for all and hopefully it'll be the best and strongest of them all, aka Moderna and administer a first dose to EVERYONE ALL AT THE SAME TIME (or within as short a period of time as possible - in other words within a couple of weeks) and then AS PER THE MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDATIONS YOU ADMINISTER THE 2ND DOSE TO EVERYONE. That way there's one vaccine and one strength of it for all and there won't be a million different levels of and types of vaccinations out there for it to keep mutating and changing to defeat. There'll be one and a strong enough one that it'll have a helluva job trying to mutate to defeat. That's how it should be done and I'm pretty sure how every other major disease that we vaccinated against was done too. So stop dicking around and do it right once and for all and get it over with.

Moderna seeks FDA green light for COVID-19 vaccine booster shots
More than 200 people protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates outside Saskatoon hospital This should tell you something, when it was organized by the Canadian Frontline Nurses. A national nurses union (no clue what that is because as far as I know all nurses unions are provincial, considering it's the provinces that hire and regulate them and their salaries as per the medicare agreements with the feds - the feds don't regulate anything when it comes to medicare as far as I know) disavowed that group apparently.

Ontario's fourth wave could see 9,000 daily COVID-19 cases by October in worst case : Science Table Remember the operative word here "could", that's not a "will" or a "should" but merely a "could" and given all the other "coulds" I've seen over the last year and a half that this has been going on, it's more like a "won't". So don't get super worried over these hyperbolic predictions. They're just made in the name of the government and in the governments interests to keep you scared and compliant. That's mainly what they are.
