Yeah. I live in Ontario and the rules are that all unvaccinated people (including babies) cannot attend day care for 14 days if they went abroad. Vaccinated children do not need to "quarantine." Last night I finally withdrew my almost 5 year old from a super expensive private Montessori school. I'm not sure how I will be able to work, but at least I'm self-employed, so I guess I'll figure out something....

My daughter just finished her degree at Guelph for Neuroscience, she needed one more credit for an “Honours” certification But that would mean getting vaccinated and that is NOT happening. She put together her resume to see if she could teach unvaccinated children. She used to help teach music at music camp before she headed off to Uni and the kids loved her. Anyway, we are getting together with some other families with children who need school. We need to create a parallel society because the one they have planned for us is not an option.

This is one of the difficulties with the anonymous subscriber sections on Substack. We could be next door, or on the same telephone exchange and we would not know and couldn't connect. (We're not, you are three time zones east of us.) You are evidently close to Sirka Sie, and may be able to see an actual email through your newsletter comments, but we (anonymous) proles can't. I appreciate the need for some privacy and safety from surveillance, but after Edward Snowden I have no illusion that the government could peel my identity from the Substack servers (AWS) in a flash if they cared or if I became too outrageous online.

This has unfortunately kept any resistance dispersed and marginalised.

Best of luck with the real education, there is a good chance that the children will not have their intellectual growth stunted.

If you know other parents who think and believe as you do (and I am very aware that up in Canada you are in the minority) band together to start a micro school. Hire a teacher who also is fed up with the education system to teach your group of kids. It’s likely to be less expensive than what you are paying now in that ‘woke’ Montessori school your child is in now. I live in So California and a number of parents who are fed up with the education system (masks & vaccines) are doing this for their kids. The kids are with a teacher three days a week, doing ‘school’, then the other two days, they do extracurricular activities like sports, or go on ‘field trips’ or do things like ‘farm school’, where they learn real life skills on a farm such as growing your food, caring for animals, making things, doing chores, etc. There’s always a work around…you just need to get extra resourceful and start to ‘think outside the box’ that we All have been asleep in for so long!

Expand full comment

Yeah. I did find a group, but they fired the teacher because of her teacher mentality. They didn't want to replicate the mainstream education system. Yesterday my son played with boys his age for hours while I talked to adults in exactly the same boat as me. Those hours gave me the courage to break up with my beloved Montessori school...

Socializing is the most important thing for the kids. You can homeschool any way you want. Not sure what the laws are were you live but even if you can't find a teacher, you can get started on cementing the social bonds by agreeing to meet several times per week, or as much as possible. Good luck!

Expand full comment

Thanks. They are quite serious about what they are doing (and incredibly relaxed about it which is incredibly healing for me). They spent all summer cleaning horse sh*t from a barn they rented out. That's the space where we meet (some are there every single day; I have agreed to (*paid for*) two days a week but I'm considering more than that). Homeshooling is legal in Ontario; I'm learning how that works. Homeschooling is not legal in Mexico (where we're looking to escape to). Did I say everyone feels the same way I do in that space? ❤🧡❤🧡

That's fantastic. Creating spaces where we feel safe and protected is essential.

I read a comment to that effect posted by a (what seemed like) an Alberta or Manitoba teacher in Canada's NP online paper. The teacher said public education has become so degraded that a child can spend 1/2 the hours and get more results with home schooling compared to public school schooling. Sorry, no links, I'd look for covid alliance websites, perhaps even go to the JCCF website or look to some of the politicians that are anti lockdown like Randy Hillier. They may have something on their websites.

I had a friend who homeschooled her now adult son back in the 90’s. They did ‘school’ for 3 hours a day! That’s it! Then he did his chores, took care of all their animals, then met up with the local kids in the small village where they lived after they got out of school! He was very bright and all the kids loved him…and he did not lack for socialization whatsoever!

Force your public school to provide your children with equal opportunity and resources under the Independent Education protocols of CA. *most states have some equivalent. If enough parents force school admin to provide legally mandated resources. while not being compensated for enrollees, they will start to pressure the state to change exclusionary mandates.

Funny how "child-oriented" the Montessori schools have been until the kids need sacrificing to protect the elderly. I thought they'd be at the forefront defending children's rights, but it seems most are in it for the marketing and yummy-mummy conformity.

I actually got bullied off a Facebook Montessori group for standing up for the children twice. One mum was going mental at her kids not wanting to brush their teeth twice a day and I dared to show them Weston A Price literature and suggest the kid's got a point if their diet isn't full of sugar. I was told I was being unhelpful.

Well, not all of them are the same. The one my daughter goes has stayed strong and no mask mandate for kids (we are in Florida though). The worst part are the parents. Some teamed up to force masks and vaccinations mandatory for teachers. The directors of the school replied that people in disagreement with they policies could leave and their money would be refunded. None left. People is just plain stupid and evil.

I attempted to tell her about the dangers of the Vaxxines…she said I was crazy. This past summer up in Canada,she and her sisters, ostracized their one sister who did not get The Jab, and would not allow her to “visit them at the cottage” in the summer! because she was not vaccinated and might give them Covid!

The Mexicans in Mexico appear to be fairly compliant, also. I go to the dentist in Tijuana frequently. Every time I walk across ALL the Mexicans are masked up! I’m one of the few people not wearing a mask! Also I have a long time friend who lives in a small village outside of the City of Oaxaca, in Oaxaca. There were plenty of her friends, both Mexicans and Gringos, who got the Jab. Some even had serious adverse reactions after getting it! And they are wearing masks like crazy!

We spent ten months of the pandemic living in Mexico. Mexico has mask mandates but not vaccine mandates. The people have better things to think about other than covid. Mexicans are laid back and very mellow. But we can find all kinds of people anywhere in the world.

They may be “laid back & mellow” and do as they are told, (goes back to the mentality of Hacienda days between the serfs and the Patrón.) I understand ‘the culture’ as I have lived and traveled all over Mexico, & grew up on the CA Mexico border as well as I speak Spanish.

Regardless if there is no ‘vaccine mandate’ in Mexico, I look at the ‘wearing of a mask’ from a different POV.

I refuse to wear a mask…because that is another level of compliance I chose to not participate in. The wearing of a mask, is like the frog in the kettle of water and the heat is slowly rising. As things start to heat up, it will comply with anything to get out of the pot! And besides the masks do nothing in the spread of infection whatsoever. They are another way of muzzling, control, and installing fear into the Psyche.

Childcare/ECE is already heavily regulated by the various tentacles of the administrative State. The children really are in the crosshairs of this fiasco in so many ways.

In my occupied US territory the problem is a combination of the multiple regulatory bodies all vying to assert their powers - and the population itself, which is divided among diametric realities.

The State regulatory body for ECE, State childcare licensing, county health dept, State health dept., CDC, Montessori Associations, franchisors, etc. all have their mandates and regulations and "guidance". Its a labyrinth of contradictions, dead-ends, theatrics, and financial trappings all on a constant cycle of change based on arbitrary "data" generated from sources that at this point should be burned to their foundations.

Then there are the parents. 1/3 are furious that not enough is being done to "protect" the kids. 1/3 are angered by the confusing and contradictory measures being constantly employed, then dropped, then re-employed. 1/3 are perpetually annoyed that all of this is interfering with their ability to farm out their kids uninterrupted - especially given what they have to pay.

Then there are the staff, teachers, administrators, and owners who similarly fall across the spectrum of anti-reality hive-minded freaks, low-pay retail labor issues, and small business owners who have invested their entire lives into their schools. Much like healthcare, many are simply just leaving.

The increased stress, costs, and regulatory hoops that management has to constantly navigate whilst getting heat from all the above no matter what they do or don't do all while trying to maintain statutory staffing ratios in a labor "market" that is completely gutted by federal intervention and social decay have drained a lot of the goodwill in an already stressed industry.

The destruction of all of our institutions is underway. Godspeed with your child. He/She is in the best of hands now. You are not alone in this predicament. Have faith that as the great sorting continues there will be opportunities for those of us of sound mind to find ways to serve each other.

CRT grifters are just ordinary racist scum, not Marxists. Guarantee you Karl Marx never wrote in any of his books, "hey guys, go out and judge people by their skin color". That's more or less diametrically opposed to his ideas of working class solidarity.

Actual Marxism has lots of problems, but racism isn't one of them.

Expand full comment

I concede your point that Karl's ideas weren't couched in racism, but instead class distinction of proletariat vs bourgeoisie. But in today's world, there are many who have embraced Karl's methods and applied them to their own causes. Every wronged/oppressed group can now use Marxism as a method. For example, Black Lives Matter founder, Patrice Cullors stated in an interview that she and co-founder, Alicia Garza are "trained Marxists". Social Justice, Climate Justice, etc are using Marxism and joining together for the "othering" of our society into opposing groups. At least that's my view of the world at present, and yes they are grifters as you point out. Patrice Cullors bought herself 4 houses in gated, mostly white communities with BLMI $$$. Go figure that self described Marxists are really only Marxists until they get somebody else's money, then they're capitalists. Thank you for respectfully continuing the conversation!

Expand full comment

Whether a bug or a feature, vaxx mandates or just plain segregation, as sadly happens with many families and friends, does serve the useful purpose of being an ideology test. On the down side, it is a "loyalty test." Take the jab, keep your job or other privileges (many of which once were rights, but apparently no more...?) Of course, behind loyalty (rebellion) is the unspoken, perhaps often unconscious, (lack of) faith in The Party and all its dictates and questionable health mandates. The sheep might be forgiven for being trusting for the first round of jabs, but if they still are on Team Vaxx for boosters and as the body count mounts, they are signalling loud and clear which team they're on.

Comrade Mao had an interesting technique he used to diminish the social authority of local notables, a technique that might be recyclable for use on Covid Nazis. He made them wear dunce caps (like an old-school tall, pointy, conical dunce cap) and hauled them on a wagon through the streets of town, while the peasants were encouraged to throw rotten food at them. Pretty good symbolism, imho.

Still… not enough.

They're already wearing the dunce caps. Just a different shape and on a different part of the head.

My fear is that by the time they all wake up to what they have allowed to happen it will be too late. I never thought I would live to see the day in America where the people allowed their political “leaders” to lock them in their homes, deny them the right to work, eat in restaurants, go to the gym, mall, theatre, mandate medical treatments and deny care based on same…and not only did not react in outrage, but meekly cried, “more, please! Keep us safe oh wise leaders”!

I say good. That is the only way these Covidians are going to realize that the restrictions and rules they support are wrong. They are so narcissistic that only when something directly effects them will it be seen as wrong. The "unclean" deserve what they get but my 4 year old being labeled unclean is a crime against humanity. Maybe some of these blue checks will start waking up and realize that civil liberties are for everyone, not just the "Fully Vaxxed".

You just gotta love the big apple, New York City. Hey if you are into discrimination in a big way, this is your kind of town. Although it looks a lot like my kind of town, Chicago, which is desperately trying to catch up to NYC’s draconian mandates, led by the superstar mayor, Lori. What a great job she is doing, single-handedly destroying a once great city. Sort of what deblasio did for nyc. The only people worse than these two mayors are the people who voted for them.

I did and then got this: Hello,

We're reaching out to let you know that our moderators removed your post about Buvette.

We typically remove posts that appear to be motivated more by media attention rather than one's own customer experience with the business. We recognize that this business has been in the media spotlight and that many people have strong opinions about the situation. If you'd like to share your feelings on Yelp, we encourage you to start a conversation with your local community on Yelp Talk (https://yelp.com/talk). Please be aware that any further content you post in response to media attention may be subject to removal without notification. Repeated guideline violations may result in account closure.

We apply this policy regardless of the business or topic at issue, no matter what our thoughts on the subject may be.

I don't entirely agree. We know a medical administrator/provider who has to remain silent in order to keep her job. She claims that most of the others in her hospital feel the same way, but again, there are mortgages to be paid and kids to send through college. There are others, too, in the same boat. Shame on those who are trying to force this sort of thing on people.

Expand full comment

You are right. I had a discussion about this with someone yesterday and said that if I was at a different point in life, younger with children to support and a mortgage to pay I might be forced to take the jab.

Let us not forget that those who are forced into silence are victims too.

Expand full comment

No, sorry. There is no excuse. This is just a variation on "i was only following orders when I rounded up the jews..." We dont get to excuse our evil behavior by blaming it on someone else's evil behavior. Cowardice. Call it out. I have sympathy for people threatened with job loss but no excuse to cave. Especially people in hospitals where lots of people are being murdered with the use of Remdesivir and ventilators and denied ivermectin etc... If you work in a hospital that is following the murderous treatment protocols then you are complicit in murder, every bit as much as someone who hands out paychecks to Auschwitz guards or drives them to from the camp or merely guards the trains while they wait to depart for the death camp. Stop making excuses for evil.

You are quite right, unfortunately. I write unfortunately because it would be easier to resist were it not so.

My old tutor in logic and philosophy used to give every new class an assignment:

"Say you work at the railroad. Do you stay even though you know what's on the trains?"

That was the question, no other info given although no-one missed the association intended. Task was to answer and explain the answer and its moral/ethical logic.

I've used it myself, being a teacher. It never fails to infuriate people, good honest everyday decent people, who are used to being able to rationalise their actions:

"I've got debt/mortgage/student loans"

"If not me then someone else"

"I only do my part, I'm not responsible for the whole"

and so on. But it is on us, on each and every one of us. To comply is a choice, with a cost. To refuse is also a choice with a different cost.

The funny thing is, the people of the vacc-quisition are generally really into climate change (i.e. eco-fascism), and on that topic they will happily argue that everyone has a personal responsibility for their "climate impact".

It's as was more or less proven by Milgram in his experiments, contoversial to this day more for the findings than anything else, and also in the TSST method.

The more opportunity for rationalisation and transfer of authority we are given, the more inhumane we can be.

Expand full comment

Scary indeed. Currently listening to the audio book "Ordinary Men" by Christopher Brown, about a reserve police battalion in WW2 that committed all sorts of war crimes against innocent jews. These were working/ middle class, middle aged men who initially started guarding Jewish prisoners and ended up shooting them. It became easier over time.

The masks were the gateway to jabs. The jabs were gateway to stigmatization. Stigmatization is the gateway to mass murder.

Resist. At all costs.

Expand full comment

Individuals tend to think they are absolved of personal responsibility if a group of people is doing the same thing. Living as being responsible for the impact of one's own actions is real living.

I agree. That is quite different than remaining silent and taking the jab so as not to lose one's job when there are children to support.

Knowingly participating in causing harm to others is never excusable.

Expand full comment

We shouldn't make that distinction. Our compliance with illegal and immoral orders ensures that the evil continues. Using children as an excuse is lame and shameful. It's hiding behind our children because we lack the moral courage to do what's right.

I make the distinction. That doesn't mean that I agree with the choice. A 35 year old with 2 young children, a morthage, car payment, and debt who makes the choice to take the jab to keep their job is a victim not a villain.

But yeah, I'm hearing a lot of anger and indignation from parents these days who double jabbed their teenagers and now are frustrated that the "vax or die" crowd they surround themselves with is now "boost or die," with rules and regulations to go along with it.

Do not comply

Expand full comment

The courageous thing to have done would have been to walk in past the enforcer, find a table, sit down and ask for menus. At this point the restaurant can either give them to you or make a scene that you can escalate and damage their business. If they physically touch you they will have violated the law (assault and battery). Their only option at that point is to call the police. When the cops show up you explain that your daughter does not require a vaccination as she is only four. The cops may ask that you leave and you can protest while walking out. They will not arrest you. The restaurant will get lots of bad press. It is lose/lose for them and win/win for you.

There has been a lot of silence. There has been a lot of cowardice. There has been a lot of self deception in the face of facts. There has been a lot of pain and suffering.

Amidst all of the pain and suffering something wonderful has arisen. I remember that after September 11 Mr. Rogers advised children that when something terrible happens to try to think about the helpers. That doesn't mean a turning away from the horror. On the contrary. Heroes turn towards the pain, the suffering, the horrors, and the injustice. There have been and there continues to be many heroes throughout this whole epoch. There are heroes large and small.

Everyday heroes as well as those known by many. I could name names but this post would be very long and I would be sure to miss many of those who are well known to many of us.

I think we should honor the heroes of this movement. That is what it is, a movement. A movement that promotes truth, justice, liberty, and the dignity of all people. It is a movement of historical proportions. Many have stepped up and have done the right thing instead of the easy thing. Heroes are brave. They place themselves at risk and the possibility of loss to do what in their heart they know to be right. I have been touched by these heroes. They give us hope. Their courage and bravery is contagious.

In March it will be two years since we entered the covid era. As bad as things are it would be much worse without the heroes, those known to many and those known only to some.

I propose that we declare March 5th as Covid Truth Heroes Day. On that day we will celebrate our victories, honor our cause, honor the heroes, and send a loud message that we will not be silenced. Please join me in spreading the word far and wide in making March 5th Covid Truth Heroes Day.
