Jesus, that Twitter bio of hers is everything wrong with current year in one smattering of nonsense.

I am an Albertan. There are pockets of Canada like the lower mainland of BC, Vancouver Island and Toronto that are absolutely batshit crazy. And they have the votes and the seats. Combine that with compliant and fearful maritime provinces on the east coast that are used to decades of receiving government handouts and transfer payments from successful provinces. And then you have Quebec, who wants whatever is good for Quebec, won't allow pipelines Alberta needs but happy to take Alberta's transfer payments. Quebec claims this is for environmental reasons but then dumps raw sewage into the St Lawrence River. Our country is a mess, and many in Alberta and Saskatchewan are wanting out of this dysfunctional country.

I live in Victoria BC and I can confirm they are bat-shit crazy here. People riding their bikes down the street - alone - wearing masks. I shit you not.

I went to the hospital for tests and they have a woman standing at the door sanitizing her hand and handing everyone a brand new mask. She sanitizes her hands every time.

And then on the other side of weird, I saw an Pilipino guy wearing a a black cloth mask as he walked down the street and then he took it off right before he went into the building. I assume that he likes hiding his face, or thinks he looks ominous or tough?

That's a real possibility. Es muy macho, si! Where I live in the heart of the Emerald Triangle in NorCal we have many Mexican cartel foot soldiers in our teeny tiny town (less, now that the cannabis market has collapsed - there's always a silver lining). These young dudes actually love to wear their masks, everywhere, indoors and out. Maybe they've just seen too many narcotraficante movies (I've seen three-year-old toddlers watching these, day and night, they start 'em young), wanna look like badass hombres? Most are them are just lonely, bored and worried young men working for nothing, trying to keep El Jefe back in Zacatecas from harming their sweet little abuelita if they don't bring home the bacon. I feel sorry for them, mostly. But the mask thing does turn my stomach. I know it isn't healthy.

Theo Fleury has been speaking out, his Tucker Carlson appearance was good to watch. And Ryan Whitney (I think he is American) singlehandedly helped end some Federal covid restrictions at airports due to his twitter rant at Pearson in Toronto. He embarrassed our leaders into doing something. Jamie Sale, Olympian gold medal figure skater has also been vocal. So there have been a few athletes speaking out.

I know nothing about Canada, but wonder if Quebec could be persuaded to accept a pipeline from Alberta if it meant additional cash for Quebecers. In other words, are the terms of the proposed pipeline deals just not attractive for Quebec?

Expand full comment

Pipelines are a federal jurisdiction, so they could be built if the feds wanted too. However, they have shut down the pipelines applications to the BC and east coast. Might have to do with a prominent political family in Canada having shares in Irving oil and that refinery in the maritimes is supplied by supertanker with Saudi oil. As I said before, we are a dysfunctional country when you prefer to get oil abroad from dictators instead of supplied by fellow countrymen. Meanwhile throwing away the oil royalties that would go into your own country's coffers. Throw in gender requirements and you can see where many oil companies prefer to invest in other countries.

"Conservative politician Andrew Scheer stated in November 2017 that Canada should ban the import of oil from Saudi Arabia due to human rights and environmental concerns.[6] In December 2018 Scheer demanded that the gender-based analysis requirement imposed on Canadian pipeline projects by the Liberal government be instead applied to oil imported from Saudi Arabia"

They already get cash from Alberta. They see it as their due. It's not fair that Alberta has all of these natural resources and they don't. Despite being "a country within a country," they believe that ALL natural resources (outside of QC) belong to the whole country, and the benefits therefrom should be shared.

You know, despite doing everything they can to shut down said resources, and separate from Canada every couple decades or so.

The difference with Alberta and Quebec is when we say we want to separate, we do, and we will. Quebec uses it to negotiate more goodies but know they have it better staying in Canada then out. The Alberta GDP per capita in 2022 is $78,155. As our own country we would rank 5th in the world, right behind #4 Qatar and ahead of Switzerland.

Not necessarily. It tends to be a city vs rural thing. I live in a city where there is a huge mall that attracts tourists over holiday seasons when kids are out of school. You can easily pick out the visiting small town folk by how they dress, hairstyles etc (I can call them that because I was one of them and grew up in the time warp of a small town) and they are not the mask wearers even when it was mandated. Common sense tends to be more common outside the cities.

@Bart- I'm in NY but live a mile from the Canadian border. We have a mall the Canadians love to visit (read: take over on the weekends. No lie. They even protested one year telling us Americans to stay away on the weekends so they could have it to themselves. not) and many shoppers are Asian. They were wearing masks long before Covid was a thing. Decades. It stems from the pollution from their ancestral homelands. The mask wearing seems to have evolved into a cultural thing.

During the height of maskomania, I started taking the self-dehumanizing of the maskoholics at, so to speak, face value. I'd refuse to make eye contact, and behave as though I were utterly unaware of their presence. If a group of them came walking down the sidewalk, I'd simply refuse to move out of their way, and inevitably in they little game of chicken the timid creatures would part like Red Sea.

It was fun in a sociopathic, antisocial, sophomoric kind of way. Jerk move to be sure but at that point, well they had their emotional coping mechanism and I needed mine.

I truly can't hear them. They are usually soft speakers, anyway, being the docile sort; and I have trouble hearing when there is ambient noise. I just say to them, "I can't understand a word you are saying through that mask."

It was all part and parcel. They needed to shame you into wearing masks so they could shame you into locking down and then shame you into getting the jab. Most people do not develop beyond high school with regards to philosophy or how they treat other people. If i understand this, then i'm sure the psychiatric industry does (which by the way .gov employed to find better ways to scare you).

Has anyone thought about why all of this was done? It wasn't because a virus. I've been watching finance like a hawk since 2008, waiting for the system to implode because they never fixed it then. All they've done since then is pile on more debt, rob people who save money on their own (instead of gambling in the stock market).

Expand full comment

This is correct.

Even many "in the know" are still trapped in the virus story and the Covid merry-go-round.

Now I'm not talking about Germ Theory v. Terrain Theory, that's another discussion.

I'm simply talking about the fact that the official narrative of "Covid" is a fiction- all of it. It is an intelligence operation meant to do what you described.

There was no pandemic- EVER.

Once you have explored the details of these frauds it is easy to identify the scam as it is happening. The playbook is pretty much the same,the players are the same, they simply refine and expand their techniques. Not so easy to convince others of the scam as they are bombarded with fear porn 24/7. I have to say that the “messaging” is far more comprehensive, insidious and sophisticated with Operation Covidius than all others before by quantum leaps.

As long as good people continue to assert that this manufactured crisis was in fact an actual epidemiological event the ghouls that concocted this lie will have fertile ground to create the next one- which rest assured is in the pipeline.

"Covid" is the engineered destabilization of the global economy.

"COVID-19", the operation, is essentially a cover-up for systematic debt-leveraged monetary expansion.

"Covid-19", the disease, is nothing more than a disease of ATTRIBUTION to other causes.

Expand full comment

And...aaamen to that. In total agreement with you Allen. We've been played.

Expand full comment

I agree the official narrative is fiction and everything they forced on us was unjustified by data and previous experience.

However, I subscribe more to the school of thought that it was a bioweapon release. It was an actual novel virus that did spread easily and got a lot of people sick, and killed a good number. Of course many of the people it killed were already medically fragile and high percentage of the deaths wouldn't have happened if we had widespread early treatment. The suppression of prevention through health and early treatment is one of the most diabolical aspects of the whole thing.

Expand full comment

The 'diagnosis' of "Covid" effectively permits dangerous protocols to be enacted that then increase the chance of mortality. This matters for several reasons. A pneumonia patient has a very good chance of surviving with correct support. However, if the patient tests ‘+’ for the non-existent pathogen an entirely different medical protocol goes into action and with this, there is little chance of survival.

The number of "Covid deaths" is cooked/manipulated due to how the CDC does their accounting- in short an audit of the CDC mortality numbers themselves is essential. The number of "Covid deaths" is grossly overinflated and here is how we had so many "Covid deaths:"

1) The first thing to be addressed is "who were these people?" The average age of a "Covid death" is around 78 in the US and 82 globally w/4 comorbidities. The majority of these people were from nursing homes, assisted living, hospice, died in hospitals etc.

What we had here in the US was a radical and mandatory shift in policies relating to care homes, hospitals and "Covid." These were mandated through various state policies (remove 8 states from US mortality rates in March/April 2020 and no excess will appear) which resulted in a concentrated death rate for a six week period in March/April. Take that out of the equation and there is no death rate to talk about. Put (or keep) these policies in place and we will have this happen every year;

2) The faulty diagnosis of what is a "Covid Death" did they die "with" or "from" Covid which is problematic for several reasons. In many cases an actual test was never done only a "presumed to be "Covid" assessment was put forth. Add to this that PCR with faulty specs (gene sequencing, cycle thresholds, annealing problems, faulty primers and so forth) were used. PCR can't diagnose anything in the first place and compounded with these problems they are useless and misleading;

3) No autopsies. Why were no autopsies done in the US? Why new mandates that halted all autopsies for "covid deaths" which went against decades long protocol?

On March 24,2020, they changed decades old protocol on how death certificates would be filed- this is a big one- giving special dispensation to "Covid deaths" and incentivized everyone under the sun to code all manner of deaths as U07.1 (COVID-19).

There was also gross negligence (beyond the usual) in these nursing homes that led to abandonment and medication alterations that turned these slow motion abattoirs into death houses. One of the remarkable things of note is that here in the US the "pandemic" was not widespread (which is supposed to be one of the defining features of a pandemic) but was in fact limited to very specific locations;

4) Another way they inflated death counts was through hospital admissions and again faulty PCR testing. So for example if one came in with a coronary condition you would be given a "Covid test" no matter what- all admissions required this- and then if you died while in the hospital you could have been listed as a "Covid death." This happened frequently throughout the year;

5) Home deaths is yet another way that figures were cooked. This was admitted point blank by Stephanie Buehle among others (NY Health spokesperson) who stated that home deaths with no testing at all would be "presumed Covid deaths." This was mandated through the NY Health Dept and elsewhere;

6) "Covid death" counts were forged- CDC instructed officials to certify any death as "caused by" COVID if the decedent tested positive prior to passing or was suspected of having C19, even if it wasn't the actual cause of death. Thus we have major misattribution. E.g., we have over 16,000 "accidental deaths" in the C19 death total;

We're also seeing unexplained declines in other common death categories because so many have been attributed to C19. The unprecedented broad definition of C19 death has created huge fraud in "Covid death" counts.

7) Huge spike in iatrogenic deaths caused by misattribution of "Covid" to incoming patients and the ensuing improper treatments applied e.g. remdesivir, ventilators and associated fentanyl dosages which killed thousands;

Etc.

I wonder who will write the first history of "this"? My recollection is no, the hysteria preceded mask wearing and particularly by means of that master stroke: the "Asymptomatic Case" i.e all humans are a mortal danger to all other humans. Then a FOMO dynamic took over: Fear of Missing Out - masks were hard to come by late spring, summer of 2020; so there was this manic effort to obtain masks the subsequent wearing of which signaled that you were a winner and on board with the authorities. Then the dynamics self-amplify - as you suggest - limit human action is a response to fear and a promoter of fear.

And yes! - whatever it takes to break these still mask compliant people - I am trying for now a look of bemusement rather than scorn!

We're splitting hairs. Again, I would say the "single most important fallacy" is that the shots are Safe And Effective.

I wear glasses. I spend the summer of 2020 angry every time I went out because I was forced to wear a mask in 85+ degree heat and my glasses fogged up. Constantly. Plus... I really don't do well in hot weather, and the mask made it worse. So... I was kind of bitchy all the time when I had to run normal errands.

And then I was smart enough to buy a symbolic mesh mask that was for show. That worked almost everywhere. And then I just stopped wearing them.

Since I am single and had no family, I was able to avoid most of it. Here in Georgia, the rules were ridiculous in that the restaurant staff had to wear masks, but the customers did not (please explain how that makes sense). When a lot of private businesses introduced Mask mandates in June of 2020, I steered clear of them. I was a legalist about signs. Instead of Krogers, I went to smaller ethnic Grocery stores that didn't mandate them. Finally, I got the guts to go to Krogers late at night to shop without a mask after hearing others doing the same. I walked right past a security guard who was wearing a mask and he waved me on through.

The few times I wore masks, they also fogged up my glasses, and of course everything smelled like "mask," I also had not trouble enunciating words.

Part of the problem with masks is you can't tell who is onboard vs. who is just going along to get along. I have worn a mask in some situations to go-along to get-along. I've worn masks in doctor's offices and on Uber rides when it was mandated. I am to the point now where I am rethinking that because I am realizing it's not going to go away on it's own.

That's the irony isn't it. You know medically after awhile, something isn't going to go away on it's own, so you know you have to see a doctor. But in order to see the doctor, you have to do something that you know needs to go away, but won't go away on it's own unless you do something about it. And that thing to do to get to that point is to risk not going to the doctor in order to stop something that won't go away on it's own.

I wear glasses also. In Canada the fogging hit going in and out of stores in the winter, as well as the steamy summer days.

People still wearing them get my worst scorn face - this needs to be deeply unpopular.

Back during the 3 weeks or so that unvaxxed people could go unmasked, basically everybody went unmasked. This REALLY REALLY upset the people who were still wearing masks. They would want into a store, realize they were THE ONLY ONE wearing a mask, and sort of freak out.

These people want the safety blanket of others wearing the mask, too.

When mask mandates were first dropped "for the vaccinated", the hilarious thing was that if you saw someone without a mask, there was a good chance they were one of the dirty unjabbed, whereas if you saw someone WITH a mask there was a very, very high probability that they were fully vaccinated. At this late date the former doesn't really hold anymore but the latter absolutely does.

Snipet from the excellent interview Ivor cummings had from Mattias Desmet:

[Regarding mass formation]…So this typical solidarity that always emerges when a mass forms is never a solidarity between individuals, it’s a solidarity of every individual with the collective, and the longer the mass formation exists the more all the solidarity and the energy is sucked away from the social bonds between individuals and is injected or invested in the bonds between individuals and the collective, meaning that in the end the solidarity with the collective is much stronger than the solidarity with other individuals, and that explains of course why during the corona crisis people were all talking about citizenship and solidarity and at the same time accepted that if someone got an accident across the street they were no longer allowed to help that person…

…and in the same vein people accepted that if their father or mother was dying somewhere that they were not allowed to visit them. So they fought this heroic battle for the sake of the elderly , for the solidarity with the elderly and at the same time they accepted the elderly should die alone or that they were not allowed to visit them during their last hours. So that’s a very typical solidarity which exist in a mass, it’s a very strong solidarity with the collective and not with individuals and that explains why every totalitarian state is always based on mass formation always ends up in a paranoid atmosphere in which every individual is prepared to report every other individual to the state if that other individual is not loyal enough to the state narrative…”

But please see it for yourself, it's really pleasant way to spend 1 hour learning:

This is horrifying. I would never have thought that the people staying away from dying relatives actually thought it was a good thing! Very glad no one in my family felt that way. When my grandmother was dying in the summer of 2020, all of us took turns visiting her. There were questions about what was the best thing to do, but ultimately no one thought it would be best for her to be alone. That is probably the tragedy that breaks my heart the most through all of this, all those elderly people dying alone, they shouldn't even be living apart from their families, nevermind dying apart from them. We have everything so backwards.

I'm more live and let live. Science has clearly shown that masks do not prevent COVID and indeed can cause other issues. However, so many people are watching 24/7 CNN fear mongering and they are deeply afraid. As long as they don't ask me to mask up, I just have compassion and let them continue on.

While I agree with you that we should live and let live, should we enable the behavior? I would go a step further and explain why masks don't work, break it down in very basic terms. Make it clear that why they might believe "it couldn't hurt" it certainly can't be helping.

I know what you're saying. However, I found when I try to tell friends or family taken in by the mass psychosis information on the vaccines or masks (no matter how fact based)

True, though many vets will measure titers and if they are sufficient (and they nearly always are), they will give you the rabies tag. All these pet cancers, auto-immune disease and injection site tumors have skyrocketed along with the skyrocketing number of jabs, same as childhood vax & childhood disease.

Other countries have dropped some of the most damaging shots/are waiting until far later to administer vax, and are spreading them further apart, but it isn’t enough. Gardisil, one of Billy from the GATES of hell’s personal

favorites, has rendered thousands of girls infertile and put them into early menopause at the ripe old age of 14! It has killed hundreds of boys and girls. It’s tragic. Openvaers.com #realnotrare

Wise woman! Robert F. Kennedy, jr. has done so much to shield children from all the damaging effects of childhood vax. DISSOLVING ILLUSIONS is a fantastic read.

Dr. Ronald Shultz has done studies to show that vaccines are effective for 7-9 years after just one vaccine after 4 months of age. He recommends only vaccinating once with the core vaccines. He is currently doing the Rabies Challenge to show that the rabies vaccine is good for the life of your pet. You don’t see veterinarians vaccinating themselves every year with the rabies vaccine do you…..

We (Canadians) are complacent and trusting to the point of being gormless—especially the Toronto crowd. Most of my countrymen literally believe that the government has their best interests at heart; that a clown like Trudeau is sincere…You know, when he’s not wearing blackface and being overtly racist, or canning women who disagree with him, or involved in no less than three—on record—ethics scandals. “But that was so long ago,” they say (it wasn’t). As if racism, actual misogyny (not the ad hominem version we see so much of) or corruption have expiration dates.

I live in Canada. We seem to be missing any kind of independence gene. Everyone just goes along to get along. You should have seen the complete astonishment on faces when educating people on the dangerous untested shots and they would always bow to authority: "what? are you smarter than a doctor?" The look on their faces when I said "yes a couple of my classmates became doctors - I blew them away in high school marks. Doctors aren't very smart, necessarily." Canadian brains sort of short circuit when they try to grasp that. It doesn't compute for them and they go blank. Very weird.

Bullseye. I often feel like a stranger in a strange land. At least in Alberta there is a little less of the zombie following authority mindset. By the way, that is a good retort. I too had higher high school marks than a classmate that became a specialist doctor. Being able to memorize doesn't necessarily equate to higher intelligence and it certainly doesn't correlate with having strong critical thinking skills.

And that is exactly the problem.. Most higher educated people are excellent and memorizing. When all you do is memorize you fall out of practice and your ability to critical think evaporates.

It was my initial visit so I was well. I walked in- it's a small office, just her and I in the building- she came out of her office and said I need you to put a mask on. Mind you, I live in rural Indiana- very few people have worn a mask here since the start of 2022. It was 100° outside that day and I told her I didn't feel comfortable wearing a mask with my asthma as it is worse on super hot days with poor air quality. I told her I'm healthy and she can check my temperature and that I had covid this past winter. She said "well are you vaccinated?" I said no and she said "Yea, well, I don't think this is going to work out then" and walked back into her office. I'm in my early 30's, healthy, and very proactive with my health. She just completely disregarded me. I was thinking if there are any ways I can report her if its really any use because it seems like I'm outnumbered. I was pretty upset. I thought doctors who were more on the "alternative" to the mainstream healthcare would be more understanding of people's personal health choices, but now I don't even know where to look for people who are on the same side!

this doctor is insane and you don't want her anyway. i wouldn't go to a doctor who felt she had to tell me what pronouns to use. that alone shows a poor understanding of biological reality. is she an alternative doctor? really?

i go to an alternative doctor here in SC and they don't recommend the vaccine because of miscarriages and menstrual irregularities they saw in their patients a few months after the vaccine roll out!

Some people will go along because they see no other option, just like how in the 50's people build fall out shelters in their basements against Hydrogen bombs.

If there are other options, then people will go for them, just like the ran to the pfizer mRNA treatment. Probably faster because of the damage that the shots and the masks do to people.

There are studies, published in Nature, about UV frequencies that destroy airborne viruses like colds, flu and Covid, and won't give you burns or cataracts. No one knows about this that I can tell, and everyone is focused on forcing kids and nursing home inmates into masks.
