FUREY: Are Canadians finally fed up with lockdowns?
Are we witnessing a societal shift in Canada?
The milder Omicron variant has resulted in thousands of COVID cases in recent weeks. Many Canadians know of others who have tested positive but have very mild symptoms – with only a small percentage of people having to go to the hospital.
As a result, many Canadians are starting to wonder why we’re in lockdown yet again.

Joe Biden Plans Angry Speech in Georgia Attacking Voting Integrity Laws
The president is expected to use the issue of voting rights to call for reform of the Senate filibuster rules and condemn Republicans, according to a Politico preview of the speech.
“We are doubling down, kicking it into another gear, we are going right to the belly of the beast, or ground zero, for voter suppression, voter subversion and obstruction,” White House director of the Office of Public Engagement Cedric Richmond told Politico.
Shareholders Press Google and YouTube To Disclose White House Requests To Scrub COVID-19 Videos
The proposed disclosure requirement could shed light on whether the administration has directed tech companies to remove information that it deems misleading, a scenario that raises concerns about government censorship. In July, the White House said it was “in regular touch” with social media platforms to discuss ways to combat “misinformation” online.
When That Ol’ Mojo Stops Workin’: The Destruction of Fauci’s Credibility
What you’re actually seeing in the rhetorical hoo-ha over the January Sixth capitol riot is the main cattle-prod driving mob madness — fear of Covid-19 — losing its power to terrorize the public. The Party-of-Chaos put on a grand opera of lamentation Thursday to celebrate its unity in victim-hood — we wuz so traumatized by the riot! — but in the background, they can see their dearer dream of total vaccination — and total control of the population — fade in the winter mists.
Mass Formation Psychosis. The Madness of Crowds. And The End Of Progressive America.
Left unabated, a society under the spell of mass formation will support a totalitarian governance structure capable of otherwise unthinkable atrocities in order to maintain compliance. A note: mass formation is different from group think. There are easy ways to fix group think by just bringing in dissenting voices and making sure you give them platforms. It isn’t so easy with mass formation. Even when the narrative falls apart, cracks in the strategy clearly aren’t solving the issue, the hypnotized crowd can’t break free of the narrative. This is what appears to be happening now with COVID-19. The solution for those in control of the narrative is to produce bigger and bigger lies to prop up the solution. Those being controlled by mass formation no longer are able to use reason to break free of the group narrative.
Mosques Overflowing As Churches Close Their Doors In Canada
Here we come to understand why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spent the past six- years prostrating himself before immigrant communities. Our prime minister is positively gleeful about these developments. His feelings are shared by CBC, Global News, Globe & Mail and Toronto Star.
It would be one thing if their promotion of 3rd World religion existed as a stand-alone phenomenon. What should concern the Canadian-born is the fact that an anti-Christian political movement exists concurrently with the development.
Speaker Pelosi says GOP voter integrity laws are ‘legislative continuation’ of the January 6 Capitol attack and claims Democrat voter laws must be passed to ensure fair 2022 midterm elections
‘What the Republicans are doing across the country is really a legislative continuation of what they did on January 6, which is to undermine our democracy, to undermine the integrity of our elections, to undermine the voting power, which is the essence of a democracy,’ the House Speaker told on Sunday CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan.
It’s a Constitutional Republic, you idiot.
Drive time therapy
One year ago today Kathy left us.
I brought flowers to her resting place this morning. I have visited frequently, in fact almost every weekend since her service in September though I know Kath would not approve.
I was reminded of this in a recent dream of her where I was pointedly told she was ‘not there’ but in fact everywhere. I interpret that as a suggestion I better catch up on the house cleaning.
I believe the visits have been doing me good however. The drive there and back is like a form of grief therapy. That said I can see Kathy’s perspective on things and so will endeavor not to let them become a crutch.
“They” say the first year is the toughest. Each day has it’s own little landmine and then of course there are the Big Ones, birthdays, anniversaries etc.
And then come the “Holidays.” I looked upon their approach with dread initially but perversely found an unexpected balm in the realization that while they could not be the Joyous occasion of old without Kathy & Mum nothing could possibly be so grim as the preceding Christmas and New Year. You gotta take solace where you find it I guess. I do wonder if Kath didn’t plant that thought in my head. She works in mysterious ways.
They came and went. I was supposed to spend Christmas with my brother’s family but came down with a suspected case of the Omicron and stayed home with the cat instead. Though I did sneak out Christmas day to visit K’s resting place. So far no outbreak at the cemetery has been reported.
I think of Kathy constantly though sometimes I am busy enough to be lost in myself and even on occasion ‘wake’ and wonder if it all really happened.
It’s funny how the little reminiscences are often the best at helping me through the day.
I miss the way she would make out like I was the greatest guy in the world because I brought her coffee in the morning.
Who else would think to nickname ‘America’s History Channel’ the ‘Alternative Hitler Channel’?
Kathy hated cooking so much she pretended I was good at it and never failed to compliment my efforts.
Then there was the Christmas eve we discovered Korean BBQ because we forgot everything closed down at 5pm and went on a frantic search up and down Yonge to find something, anything open.
I miss how she always overpacked.
How she seemed to know the name of every dog breed, not to mention dinosaurs.
Her love of Pip.
Her love of pajamas.
Her insistence I watch yet another cat video on Lovemeow.
The kiss goodbye at the door.
I miss her. Always will. She is my love.
Thanks to all for your patience and kindness.

Maxime Bernier leads protest against COVID-19 health measures and vaccination mandates
People’s Party of Canada (PPC) leader Maxime Bernier was among the thousands of Quebecers who braved the cold to denounce vaccine mandates and other health measures put in place to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Montreal’s Old Port on Saturday.
“There is no convincing case for compulsory COVID-19 vaccinations,” Bernier wrote on Twitter. “Mandatory policies are a blunt tool aimed at covering up government ineptitude.”
Texas: Wind Fails, Media Blames Natural Gas… Again
Texas’s natural gas industry had almost a year to prepare for last weekend’s cold blast and avoid another loss of production. But yet again, instruments froze, output plunged and companies spewed a miasma of pollutants into the atmosphere in a bid to keep operations stable.
