Open the damn country back up, before Canadians wreck something we can’t fix
National Post ^ | January 10, 2022 | Jordan Peterson

Posted on 01/11/2022 8:54:19 AM PST by billorites

I spent more than three hours on the phone this weekend trying to get through to the online security department of one of Canada’s major banks. One of my accounts was shut down (because I had the effrontery to sign in from Alberta — an event too unexpected for the bank’s security systems). I was placed on hold interminably, subjected all the while to the corporate world’s idea of music (to soothe me). I was then offered a call-back, which I duly received, 45 minutes later. Then I was placed on hold again, and again, and again. This all occurred after my patience had already been exhausted in the aftermath of trying to fly in Canada.

Like so many Canadians, I have been unable to see many of the people I love and who are tolerant enough to return the sentiment for nearly two years. Lockdowns. Restrictions. Limits on personal and social gatherings. Precautions. Precautions. Precautions.

But everything had opened enough, in principle, so flights for such purposes were — in principle — once again possible. My wife and I therefore took the opportunity on the last day of 2021 to fly first to Comox, British Columbia, and then, several days later, to our joint hometown of Fairview, Alberta. However, the airline we had arranged our flights with cancelled/delayed all six flights we had scheduled. Furthermore, they had no staff available in one entire wing of Edmonton’s airport. This made rescheduling prohibitively difficult. We were delayed by one full day travelling to British Columbia, and then another day travelling to Alberta (and there were further delays on our way home to Toronto). This took quite a chunk out of an eight-day trip. All this from an airline that not so long ago was a model of efficiency.

Tyrannical idiots are running governments the world over. At this point there is no defense of their willful ignorance.

People will need to get used to simpler lives. Things like shoddy customer service, inflation, shortages, political conflict are permanent, or at least semi-permanent.

We are in a storm of bloated government and hyper political regulation, woke society, massive-debt, money-printing and inflation, and native de-population

Globalists are preparing the world for the debut of the Antichrist. Whether they realize it or not.

Some of them seem quite dedicated to wrecking everything.

Once one realizes this fact, then everything suddenly becomes that much more tolerable. One knows that the end is near, and that Good will overcome.

It’s the logical end result of this storm of insanity that is sweeping the globe.

Destruction of national sovereignty, anri-Christian Globalism, lockdowns, papers please, already microchipped for va666ine passports in Sweden, Austria talking jail time for non-compliance, Canada’s health minister or some such talking forced va666inations, etc

But at least you’re safe. Until you’re not.

Not to worry Mr. Peterson, our overlords will get wherever they want to go quite efficiently in their private jets. We can share in their joy by proxy.

Set a date. Open the damn country back up, before we wreck something we can’t fix.

The goal is to break it so it cannot be fixed.

The Globalists and the Chinese Communist Party are in agreement on this.

Trudeau spent many racist, raucous days in blackface.
