    1. It absolutely makes sense. what is happening is a REGIME CHANGE. the government is stealing our rights. A year from now society will not be able to recognize itself.

    2. It’s not supposed to make sense. Your just supposed to buy into thier lies while they slowly erode your civil rights and freedoms away.

    3. @Willy Figueroa exactly. Look at Sweden NOW, not 6 months ago. They have no lockdowns and they’re doing better than most

    4. @joe 6pack buddy most of the world hasnt been on lockdown for months. NZ had zero cases and started normal life again. They had packed stadiums for rugby matches. Canada eased lockdown restrictions in June. What are you talking about?

    1. @Nic not all of will roll over, nor are afraid to die πŸ˜‰ try to jab my arm to vax me, i’m taking you with me…

  1. Ontario’s deputy health officer Dr. Barbara Yaffe says over half of the PCR tests produce false positives, Yale and the British Medical Journal call Covid19 PCR tests “highly unreliable” and “unfit” for diagnostic purposes. Dr. Laurence Rosenberg, Executive Director of the Montreal-West Health Authority which includes The Jewish General says Covid “isn’t much more dangerous than seasonal flu.” Single-cause Covid hospitalizations and deaths in Canada are now virtually non-existent, so this “public health emergency” is the greatest, deadliest and most expensive governance failure in Canadian history.

    1. A K he didn’t do nothing! He was critcized for closing the border, called a racist, xenophobe, meanwhile thousands of flights coming into Canada DAILY from dirty chyna! STFU

    1. @DingleDangle Wanna bet? I guess you have to see their heads on a pike to believe it!!! Not everybody is a weak limp wristed coward like you!!!

    2. @DingleDangle Your’e a fool …you don’t know anyone in the comment section, so what are you saying…..You must be projecting your own cowardice.

  2. I am sure that by the 6th lockup we will hit Herd Immunity and the money grabbers will pat themselves on the back for the great job they did πŸ™‚ and shortly after we will go belly up like so many nations in the past πŸ™‚

    1. @MAH CHEEZ MOH please dont make assumptions about me, this discussion was not about my morality. Its about swedens response and possibly the effectiveness of the herd immunity theory. In comparison to swedens closest neighbours, swedens response was not a success IMO. Specially if you or your loved one was one of the almost 6k deaths that could have been prevented.

    2. @MAH CHEEZ MOH and the elderly are always vulnerable during outbreaks. What happened at retirement homes in Quebec and NY state and prob many mpre that were never reported should never happen. Thats human negligence and fear, it happened with sars in my city years ago.

    3. They didn’t abandon social distancing measures and restricted hours to businesses, not to mention the populace largely tried to be responsible, but still their deaths are several magnitudes higher than their neighbours

  3. The federal and provincial governments has failed to demonstrate why these lockdown measures are justifiable given their flagrant violation of the right to associate, peaceably assemble, and worship as described by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, therefore encouraging another one while we’re not even out of the first one is absolutely appalling. Our rights and freedoms aren’t null and void in times of conflict and strife, they are inalienable and one of the government’s duties is to protect them!

    1. ” Our rights and freedoms aren’t null and void in times of conflict and strife, they are inalienable and one of the government’s duties is to protect them!”

      Oh you sweet naive child. Seriously. Not to be insulting but rather to be accurate as to what you really are if you believe this.

      Your rights are actually temporary privileges. Why? Because it is exactly during times of conflict and strife that the government can suspend those rights if the conflict and strife is serious enough.

      The reality is this. So long as things keep getting worse, government will respond in kind as they deem appropriate. This is why you have to be a WISE voter, as well as a STAUNCH defender of your freedoms and “rights”.

      You have no rights. Your only natural right is to live and die. The in between is all up to you. Yes, you. Because at the end of the day, you let others rule you, or you don’t.
