shit's about to get real:


It is the renamed and slightly altered War Measures Act last used in 1970 to deal with domestic terrorism.

It's about time.
It was heart warming to see counter demonstrators stop and deflag the anarchists before alowing them to scamper home.
I am a veterant, 23 years in the army. What I find stageringly offensive are veterents in uniform out suporting this nonsense.
For fuck sake, the city is Ottawa is surendering to those tugs.
I was a kid the last time the war measure act was called. It was a scary time back them but Trudeau put an end to the anarchist with imposible demands. It seam like we have been living in relative peace until now.

Sauna, cafeterias, free food, fuel, a bouncy castle, people wearing the star of david, confederate flags, impossible demands, disrespectful.

Did I miss anything?
dancing and pissing on the grave of the unknown soldier, then dismantling the protective fence around it so they can guard it (hint no one guarded it)

You guys are right, I agree with everything you said. However John Hopkins study does not:

John Hopkins study on Covid Mortality.

You guys believe what you want, it really doesn't matter to me. Covid is a political issue now in my opinion. Moving on.
It's interesting you portray it as a political issue, while yourself using a politically-driven analysis of data, with a side of "Appeal to Authority", because it's got the "Johns Hopkins" name pasted on top to associate it with the medical institution, when that's not who actually produced the analysis. I mean, I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just not sure you realize the point you're illustrating.

The "Hopkins study" is not really political. Simply that it only looks at one particular variable in a meta-analysis of sorts. Thus, the scope of its claims is rather quite limited because mortality rate is not a comprehensive measure/variable.

The acceptance or dismissal of it usually indicates a lack of education and political biases amongst the individuals reading it.

Stigmatizing the unvaccinated for the most is probably the most wretched and reprehensible part of the MSM's actions, but they also weren't wrong about everything either.

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you on that.

Biased researchers perhaps, but looking solely at mortality rate is simply tunnel-vision of sorts. Mortality rate is merely one calculation that cannot cover the entirety of what COVID does. Not affecting mortality rate does not mean other variables not study could have been affected.

If it weren't politically-motivated, perhaps the economists behind it might have submitted it for peer review, so it could be taken more seriously.

also i wonder when Alberta conservative lead government will start applying this law that they enacted just recently. They were so giddy to use it against environmentalist/native protestors
