Re: your second point: No, I couldn't read it. But in an earlier post you critized her for filming the incident at all. Now you're criticizing her for not including enough details? In any event, from the Translink website: https://www.translink.ca/rider-guide/coronavirus-precautions#ministerial-order-on-mask-use TransLink will suspend the issuance of exemption cards given we are not able to exempt customers from a Ministerial Order. The Ministerial Order does exempt persons from wearing masks in some circumstances. Transit Police will conduct standard inquiries with any customer not wearing an appropriate mask or face covering, whether they hold a TransLink issued exemption card or not. She didn’t appear to have made mention of any physical, cognitive nor mental impairment that would allow her to be exempt from the mask mandate on public transit. She just gave a general statement of being exempt. She was being a Karen and she can go &^@# herself, in her car, in Richmond. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a Karen is not a medically accepted medical condition. It’s a condition of entitlement and false sense of superiority where one believes that norms and rules don’t apply to them. Karenism would be a great paper for some university or college student imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all are white. Almost all are female. The socioeconomic status however is wide ranging. Where does the entitlement derive from? Is it a real or perceived entitlement? What’s the entitlement from their perspective? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's technically possible that she has a psychiatric condition, her comportment suggests to me that her condition is, as he so eloquently puts it, "Karenism".... As I said earlier, I was unable to find any supporting evidence for a Mask Exemption Card. If she was lying about that, my opinion is that she was lying about the rest as well. You're welcome to your opinion, but I don't share it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I see both sides of this because this was in December and there WAS an exemption for people with medical issues in accordance with this: https://bchumanrights.ca/wp-content/uploads/BCOHRC_Dec2020_Mask-Exemption-Poster_FINAL.pdf However, the story said that her card wasn't legible and she even states at one point that she has an exemption from her doctor "at home". So in her situation, I feel the cop was justified in how he reacted. And hers was a show for the camera/lawsuit she'll try to file for sure. People these days are setting the scene with shows like that, that's all. I agree...if she's in a state that she can't wear a mask she sure didn't show it when she erupted....seemed fine to me. I'd also agree that she likely should have driven her own vehicle then too. Others who use transit really don't need to contend with these belligerent, self centred idiots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedestroyerofworlds Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 What angers me is all these people who suddenly claim to be unable to wear a mask because of some disability. I know people who have actual lifelong disabilities and some of them can actually wear a mask. Some of them actually make an effort to wear a mask. These people use the disability as a crutch. Plain and simple. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the entitlement from their perspective? I'll keep it brief since it probably belongs in the George Floyd thread, but it's because this particular group of white people are confident that cops won't deal with them in an overly aggressive manner. Minorities such as blacks on the other hand...they'll likely fear that such entitlement might come with consequences beyond just a fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedestroyerofworlds Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 If you do any kind of digging into the origins of a lot of tinfoil hat posts, you'll find a similar pattern.

Plus the uk is the largest contributor to covax the program to share vaccines with poorer countries. uf you actually read up on the topic rather than a utuber said so you might realise this. the issue with AZ and the EU is 3 fold - the vaccine for Europe is predominantly produced there and their production rate is slower - two go look at my post a few pages ago the uk total ordered to September wouldn’t even make a drop in the eu shortfall even if the uk handed over all of their vaccine. Three to uk funded the vaccine and gave AZ funding to improve capacity and production at its uk factories , the EU didn’t. AZ is an Anglo Swedish company and not the UK government. The uk government has not stopped denied or held up a shipment to the EU. I don’t particularly like our government but in this occasion it’s not on them Your post is just another example that you have no clue what's going on. Here are the facts: Asked which countries this principle (export stop() might cover, von der Leyen cited the U.K., which she said was the "No. 1" destination for EU vaccine exports, while not sending any shots back in the other direction. "We have observed that in the last six weeks, actually 10 million doses by now have been exported to the U.K.," she said. "We're still waiting for doses to come from the U.K." Going forward I will not read any more posts from you because you are absolutely clueless.
