Unfortunately some protestors apparently didn't get the memo that it was a bad idea to shout "yaba daba doo" in time with the drums. I find this absolutely disgusting. To hop on the back of others and exploit their culture like this is the lowest of the low. Criminal. There are many instances like this (the Terry Fox memorial, the Unknown soldier) and it hints at desperation. If your message isn't strong enough on its own, don't try to tie into others because it's fraudulent and discredits you more than anything. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unvaccinated clearly should not be given any more privileges for this tantrum they are throwing right now, and do not belong in any business serving the general public. It is time to stop going easy on these idiots since they are rewarding the leniency by trying to destroy the country., Give them something to really cry about. The problem with the antivaxxers is is the stick hasn’t worked and the passport system is a big burden on business and could kill some hospitality based businesses in addition to the ones it already has. Time for people to come together and move forward and we can’t do that until all Canadians are equal again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their business is also to be factored in. Until then, we have to do whatever it takes to make them part of the equation. And allow the cancer patients and others to be "equal" in proportion to the health care they can access. That stuff has to be balanced as well. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should not be giving the parasites who are actively trying to destroy our medical system the same privileges as others. The passport system has worked great from preventing the rest of us from having to eat next to a walking biohazard. Plenty of businesses will suffer as well if they have to allow these losers in. There is no reason to give in to the tantrum; antivaxxers are simply not welcome in society; they do not deserve to be treated equally with the vast majority of people who are sick of their ta x dollars being wasted on prolonging the lives of people the country would be better off without. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb I agree with 99% of what you say on this forum but not this. Vaccines prevent severe illness but don’t stop the disease from spreading. The small percentage of unvaccinated if they are truly the cause of plugged health system speaks more to the system than the unvaccinated. To qualify I am double vaccinated and have subsequently contracted omicron. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say we have 2 patients: Billy-Bob is 36, didn't take his vaccine, and now wants an ICU bed. Jessica is a 52 year old cancer patient who needs treatment and diagnostics. Which patient should be prioritized? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sparred with him often and I think there was some mutual respect there, but just before he was banned we had a run-in that soured it permanently. He accused me of doing / saying something that crossed the line and when I challenged him to prove or retract his claim, he did neither, instead doubling down on the accusation. From that point on, he was dead to me and I don't miss him at all. thats fair. I just appreciated his direct approach, unlike this recent crop that can't own their own stuff. Its pretty telling that our buddy here just can't come out and do it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person doesn’t have to live in a city of millions of people to be civilized. While you are mocking the west please include Manitoba we like to be inclusive in the prairies. I don't support the arrogance that I hear from a lot of coastal people at times. Be sure, many of us are aware that people that think like that are often deluded and certainly closed-minded. 18 minutes ago, flat land fish said: If you think lockdowns and restrictions work for the current phase of the pandemic sadly they don’t. Wear a medical mask, have a good supply of rapid tests and stay home if you know you have covid. Also be more cautious if you are at risk of an adverse health outcome. Otherwise go live and enjoy your life and support your community. I'm not sure we ever really experienced a lockdown here; maybe in the early days of Covid, but it didn't last long. The restrictions have been difficult, especially how long they have gone on. I can't say that I fully support the vaccine mandates, but I do understand that the alternative have been created a significant strain on, (or even a collapse of) the healthcare system. I suspect that the restrictions will be relaxed in the near future, as we have always looked at Britain (who have led the way with the Omni variant) and they have dropped most of the restrictions this week. I've always supported wearing the proper masks; and continue to do so. Unfortunately, a majority of the people protesting in Ottawa are not wearing masks and a great many are including it as a threat to their freedom. It pains me to think that some Canadians are so selfish that they can't even suffer the great hardship of wearing a mask to prevent others from getting infected. Soft and selfish. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, with a system that's lacking (it is), we have to carefully protect it from being flooded and people being turned away. The unvaxed are reportedly the majority filling those beds and so, in the here and now, that's what needs fixing. To reduce that number. Did you end up in the hospital? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
