By the way, from the Okanagan, which is fairly right wing…https://www.pentictonherald.ca/opinion/article_cbb09eb6-8b96-11ec-93ba-f3f54af119de.html

I still comment regularly on gab.com, home of Christofascists, Trumpers and KKK windbags. I posted the story of the OPP clown using his car as a trucker photo booth…no comments.

None from Fox News, either. Like home schoolers, they want complete control of their own narrative, while bellowing “free speech”.

Any demonstration that I see around Abbotsford here is 99% whitewhiners.

We all used to have a shared reality. It may have been a media driven reality that was fake, constructed and even false, but at least it was shared.

Those days are gone. We now have many realities, competing realities, and this is the result, Ottawa has been occupied because of "space aliens" or something. If only Trudeau was not a, "communist who works for PUTIN", then maybe there might be some hope. As it is we are the verge of a war on Russia, Trudeau actually does love the idea, and few have even noticed.

Our Democratic Party(Canada LLC) is drooling…Chrystia Freeland must be orgasmic.

I occasionally glance at driftglass.blogspot.com. Guy’s a complete Obamabot. Calls Glenn Greenwald ‘Spleenwald’. After GG noted that Obama had run on good tolerance for whistleblowers and then prosecuted a record number, he naturally spouted that all whistleblowers weren’t good people.

For an educated group, they’re the most insular dunderheads around.

Just had a look. People who love the Clintons are just as insane as people who love the Trumps. One thing I do not miss about Twitter was engaging either of them.

Actually, he doesn’t have any time for Clinton, after the stunts her team pulled in ‘08.

Hi, Bill. Well, I'll have to disagree on this post. But I notice it's over 5 months ago so maybe you're seeing evidence that contradicts what you thought then? According to polls conducted by four independent firms, twice as many people report knowing someone who died soon after the vaccine than the know who died of Covid. 10% of the vaccinated say they regret it but even more, 15%, self-report that they've been diagnosed with a medical condition they didn't have before the vaccine.

Of that 15%, 21% of those conditions were blood clots, or 1 out of 33 vaccinated people. 19% were heart attacks. 15% were strokes or 1 out of 45.

Anecdotally, I know of three men who died from heart attacks--a good friend of my ex's, my aerial teacher's dad, the 20-something son of a liquor store owner. Only the last one connects it to the vaccines, something he didn't want but had to do as an elementary school teacher. All were healthy and had never had a cardiac event.

And then two athletic people in their 30s have collapsed--the competitively fit handyman at my daughter's work and a dancer in my class. Both had the same curled fingers. Both survived but the handyman still doesn't have feeling back in his arm. Neither's doctors connect it to the vaccine.

And then there are many more nebulous connections still to be seen. Lots of indications of an impact on fertility. Neurological disorders. Something they've termed SADS--Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, like the SIDS acronym they came up with after babies started dying 'without explanation' after their vaccines.

Have you not had any of this in your circles?

Hi, Bill. I re-activated @pete_needham on twitter, but all I get right now are my old posts. I can’t tweet or find friends. I needed the screen name , email, and phone # related to it. Have you tried it?

Taibbi wrote a good piece about the free speech freak out!

Thanks!

Wall Street investors are dumping their Moderna and Pfizer stock faster than the world can drop the mandates. Moderna is down 70 percent from its high, while Pfizer is off 19 percent. Former Blackrock Executive and investment adviser Edward Dowd calls for Moderna to go to zero and Pfizer to end under ten dollars per share."

“And it’s come out recently...that the all-cause mortality for the Pfizer product failed – that means there were more deaths in the vaccine group than the placebo group. Normally in such a case, you have NO drug approval for such drugs. It's the gold standard. I've been told by all my people in the Biotech Industry they were horrified.”

“ Executive and investment adviser Edward Dowd ”. Well, that’s top notch medical bona fides right there…an investment pusher.

So, how’s things in Ottawa today, Bill? I’ve been having a riot on gab.com with all the crazies. Postmedia’s behind a paywall, so commenting there is out of the question.

Very quiet. After 3 weeks of living in a truck, or even a hotel room, most people were pretty happy to go home I think. I fully expect that they will be back though. We still have police checkpoints at chokepoints, but the one on my block is gone. My wife got stopped and carded. Her first time.

Singh had better watch out or get Serpicoed.

The real question is, "what if he had not been CAF?"

We all know the answer.

BOOM

*important to note that like the "truckers", Hurren - the would be assassin - was drunk on Qanon memes.

Singh didn’t serve; you may be thinking of Sajjan, the former MND.

Sorry, I meant Singh's security detail might run a little slow come the day.
