Based upon my experience with Canadians throughout this pandemic, I would not trust the Canadian electorate to vote them out. As a whole, they are mindless sheep. I tell me Canadian husband (who I, of course, love dearly and is not one of the sheep!) that if I had known this was what I was headed for, I would have never left the free state of Florida 10 years ago. And I thought all I would have to complain about was the weather!!!
Yep. I've been frustrated by the bovine nature of the standard Canadian for more or less my entire life. These days I look on them with contempt. They've chosen slavery, and done so consistently at each opportunity. I want nothing more to do with them.
Technically Ovine. But the idiocy here is utterly mindblowing. But it's a result of decades of left-wing control over education, especially post-secondary. We had a boon of Vietnam draft dodgers start University teaching in the 60's.
They come for the kids minds like all good autocratic regimes the world over.
Similar to you: American in Canada, unvaxxed, Canadian partner, mostly all unvaxxed relatives in the States. WeтАЩre planning a trip this summer (by land of course) there and IтАЩm strongly tempted to just not register on the ArriveCan app upon return. Risk the fine? IтАЩve heard some success stories. Anyway, I had my fourth baby in September and none of my American family has met him. IтАЩm glad to know the compassionate care thing exists but it sure does sound like a hassle! I know there is a huge movement of non-sheeple here, which gives me hope in that at least IтАЩm not alone. Canadians are more awake than the US gives them credit for. Our government, though, feels very corrupt. More so than the US?! Ha! Not sure bout that.
The compassionate entry exemption was a headache and was based solely upon the fact that my doctor was willing to write a letter to the government saying that it was medically necessary for my mother to be here (which was valid because it was but the fact that it was needed in the first place was absurd!) And a letter from the Canadian government was still not enough for the border guard not to be a major A-hole to my 73 year old mother (plus the border guards were totally clueless and had no idea what the exemption letter even was).
And I saw a brief glimmer of hope during the trucker thing, but I think most people have just returned to their vaccinated lives. And as far as the corruption goes...the US govt is so much bigger but proportionally probably the same amount of corruption as here. I donтАЩt think people pay as much attention in Canada as they do in the US, and there is no strong alternative to the MSM here like there is in the US so a lot of the corruption goes unnoticed. Thank God for Substack!!
I hope all goes well with your planned trip and you are reunited with your loved ones soon!
I follow some hopeful insta pages, Rebel News, CounterSignal, Druthers, and True North. Plus some you tubers. Helps me feel less alone in my beliefs here. Early on, when I first started waking up, I truly felt isolated and hopeless. But now I see that a lot of Canadians are awake/emerging. Hopefully more will andтАжhopefully itтАЩs not too late.
I live in Manitoba and barely know anybody who is truly awake. If it wasn't for substack, I would go insane but, as things drag on with no end in sight, I fear I won't be able to hold it together for much longer. So much anger and frustration.
I feel your pain. I briefly attended Action 4 Canada meetings, which helped me connect with other likeminded people in real life (even in Vancouver!!)тАжplus I attend rallies when I can. See if you can find any near where you are. YouтАЩll feel so much better.
We made it to the rally last Saturday in Victoria, but not to the conference and banquet. The Hon. Brian Peckford gave the last speech, which is now available as transcript and video on his website: Peckford42.wordpress.com and should be seen.
The admirable Professor Steven Pelech was also present and speaking- he is in Vancouver and is very much worth hearing; there is a fine interview on Rebel News a few months ago.
Tanya Gaw of Action4Canada made an appeal for support and spoke of progress in the legal battles.
I have found a real difficulty in connecting with people on Substack; even when I know they are nearby and like-minded (ie "AndyinBC") there is no obvious way to directly communicate.
This has been my experience, as well. Even those I know who were never afraid of Covid in the first place still got vaccinated so they could continue on with their lives through the mandates.

Only problem is, my family lives there.

I just learned a new word. Thanks, fren!
What continues to be done to loved ones who live on opposing sides of the Canadian border during Covid is appalling!
Yep. I now know how Koreans feel.

I have been trying to find a meeting group here in Winnipeg -- thanks for the tip!
