I walked into a store in Vancouver. No mask. They wanted me to put a mask on. I said I couldn’t for health reasons. They said I had to anyway. I said ‘according to the law you must accommodate me’. They said ‘we don’t know about that. You have to put a mask on’. I said ‘okay, I want to be really clear here. You’re telling me you discriminate against those with disabilities? Is that correct? Can I have your name please?’ Clerk calls manager. He reiterates they demand a mask. I reiterate my ‘disabilities’ remark. I ask him for his name. I can hardly stop from laughing. They let me in.

Probably wouldn't have worked in Karentoria. There is a bad outbreak of masking on the island.

The only bonus is a pod of Humpback whales between Nanaimo and Horseshoe Bay frequently visible from the ferry if you take that route.

I live in Victoria. I still see lots of young people masking.

One of the problems with substack and "social media" in general is that they actually impede physical social connection.

Since Edward Snowden we know that "they" know our identities, but we don't know each other.

This appears to be a structural "feature", not a "bug", as the resistance is identified but kept isolated.

The trucker convoy was important, but watch the slime bags spin the toothless inquiry this week.

Yes. They cannot legally deny you. You just have to be firm and hold your ground.
