Further increasing the percentage of fully vaccinated and boosted individuals would translate to being willing, or sooner being willing, on the part of public health officials, to do away with restrictions on what people can do—lockdowns and limits on public gatherings and events—and on masking requirements.
So says this latest CDC report (referring to my previous message here), the way I read it between the lines.
In other words, if you don't like restrictions on public activities and don't like masking requirements, you should like raising the population percentage of Covid vaccinations and booster shots. More freedom for public activities without face mask requirements—"Yes, please." More people working the production and supply chains without being interrupted by doctor visits and hospitalizations because they are getting symptomatic infections of the Omicron variant—"Yes, please."
They're saying, Do it or else... That's what is written between the lines.
They declared a state of emergency to do this. A 99.85% survival rate does not require a state of emergency.
The cops put up concrete barriers on every single side-street and access to Huron Church rd.
It's one giant no-way-out funnel from the end of the bridge to the 401. Business along there are pissed nobody can access them, locals are pissed the city has been cut in 1/2, and all its going to take is one single "emergency" to shut the whole thing down again for a long time. One car or truck fire and EMS/EFS has no access, it will burn itself out before they get to it, and it will take months to re-build the road.
It has GOT to be the worst, stupidest, dumbest, back-yourself-into-a-corner planning in the history of mankind. About par for liberal thinking.
Besides, the 'Mericuns now have the other side of the bridge **** the mandates.
The convoy didnt have to permanently disrupt the city, the cops did it for them !!

You might be correct, might not have been a real good idea to block that port of entry in the first place. The bolded/underlined part is absolutely correct. But they were and were promising to stay there. I guess permanent can be defined a few different ways.

It certainly wasn't a good idea to issue shut-down mandates for a relatively innocuous disease....
If you'll notice, I have not addressed that issue. What the Canadian government did is a Canadian thing. I don't support the vast majority of mandates on this side of our border.

Of ALL the ports of entry currently blocked/slowed down, wonder why THAT is the only one to receive any attention ? All the rest they are simply routing around the protest.
Wouldnt have ANYTHING to do with all the auto sector factories along that corridor, would it ?
The rest of the country....Meh, whatever. Leave it.....but dont screw with the single biggest source of tax income in Canada.

Has there been a power outage where you're at? Did the lights just come on or what? Pretty sure I mentioned commerce in a previous posting.
Between getting ready for the move in 2 weeks, everything going on here, trying to make some money, the phone, email and messenger, and a damn cat who thinks my keyboard is a bed, I have ended up with the attention span of a squirrel the past few weeks....OH, LOOK....Something shiny !

Same tactic you always take when you don't want to respond to something. Distraction or divert to something else. That's OK, I didn't expect a realistic response.

Actually the oil industry is, but I have noticed anything that affects Ontario is always deemed a "national crisis" by politicians (because that's where the most votes are).

Now....back to the regularly scheduled programming..
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!
On the radio last night, there was discussion among reporters about misinformation being distributed, and one story that was mentioned was what MEM had posted above. Turns out it was total fabrication. Never happened.
CLAIM: Police in Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, are returning fuel they seized from protesters in response to an order from a judge.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. There is no court order requiring the police to give back seized fuel, according to a spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. The Ottawa Police Service also confirmed that it isn’t returning fuel to protesters.
THE FACTS: False claims circulated widely on social media this week that a judge ordered police in Ottawa to return fuel they had previously seized from protesters opposed to COVID-19 restrictions.
“Judge orders Ottawa Police to return the confiscated fuel back to the truckers,” read one Tweet that was shared more than 8,000 times. Similarly, a Facebook user who shared video footage of people handling gasoline canisters wrote in a post on Wednesday, “Ottawa police returning all fuel they took from the truckers by Judges order. FREEDOM CONVOY 2022.”
But the claims are false, according to both the Ottawa Police Service and the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. No such court order exists, nor is the police department giving fuel back to the demonstrators.
“The Ottawa Police are not returning seized items associated to the demonstration, such as fuel,” Constable Amy Gagnon, a spokesperson for the Ottawa Police Service, wrote in an email to The Associated Press.
Brian Gray, a spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General, wrote in an email to the AP that court staff at the Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa were “unable to locate any such order.”
Spokespersons for the Department of Justice Canada and the Federal Court in Canada referred the AP to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
Demonstrators in Ottawa protesting COVID-19 restrictions, including vaccine mandates, have used hundreds of parked trucks to disrupt the Canadian capital’s business district, the AP reported. The mayor of Ottawa has asked for almost 2,000 extra police officers to address the nightly demonstrations.
The Ottawa Police Service announced on Sunday night that it had seized multiple vehicles and fuel, along with taking a variety of other enforcement actions, including arrests. ___
This is part of AP’s effort to address widely shared misinformation, including work with outside companies and organizations to add factual context to misleading content that is circulating online.

But, but, but it was on the internet............. Surely someone didn't fabricate a fib..............
Gaslightingnoun : psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator Gaslighting can be a very effective tool for the abuser to control an individual. It's done slowly so the victim writes off the event as a one off or oddity and doesn't realize they are being controlled and manipulated.— Melissa Spino Gaslighting can happen in any relationship circumstance, including between friends and family members—not just in couple relationships.— Deena Bouknight This is a classic gaslighting technique—telling victims that others are crazy and lying, and that the gaslighter is the only source for "true" information. It makes victims question their reality …— Stephanie Sarkis
**** the mandates.
Same tactic you always take when you don't want to respond to something. Distraction or divert to something else.
