Once again, if these lunatics had as much support, the PPC would have won a seat running against the mandates. Democracy happened, and the antivaxxers are throwing a tantrum because the adults told them that they had to eat their veggies. No, the vast majority does not disagree. Dehumanizing these people is a seriously problematic/brutal way to think. Democracy is supposed to enable the free exchange of ideas/viewpoints, not the suppression of them. Please, show some empathy and try to have an open mind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have raised over $6M in about a week, which shows they do in fact have a lot of support within this country. Get out of the groupthink and open your minds, it is time to end these destructive mandates. The Maverick Party says otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a nickel for every time this happened... I am sorry, I don't contribute much, but I am an avid Canucks fan. I am more of a lurker I suppose. That being said, that is irrelevant to what we are discussing now and a pretty weak attempt to silence my point of view here. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are free to throw their tantrum, just as the majority of Canadians whose brains actually function properly are free to mock them for their stupidity. I have all the empathy in the world for those who have had surgeries delayed in order to waste medical resources on prolonging the lives of these parasites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an entitled whiner, who believes that the majority should cater to the whims of the minority is about as "human" as it gets.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read through his posts, calling these people stupid, parasites, etc. is exactly dehumanizing. It is wrong. dehumanization the process of depriving a person or group of positive human qualities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The antivaxxers would need to have positive qualities in order to deprive them of any. Calling them stupid may not be kind to them, but it is definitely not wrong. If they want to be treated like adults, they need to act like them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could say all these same things right back to you, but I am not trying to polarize anyone here. What I am trying to do is express a viewpoint that is different than the groupthink going on here with the hopes that some people at least can open their minds to a difference in ideas. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an election. The anti-mandate supporting party lost BIG TIME. The majority of Canadians voted for parties that support the mandates. How's that for ya??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've known Heffy for quite a while. In my experience, he is someone who does not suffer fools gladly and rarely pulls his punches..... I've always liked him for that straightforward honesty and although I have occasionally disagreed with him, I've always respected him. YMMV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
