The battlefield is still warm, following Canada’s war on the unvaccinated. The mandates have let up, and both sides stumble back into something that looks like the old normal — except that there is a fresh and present injury done to the people we tried to break. And no one wants to talk about it.
Only weeks ago, it was the admitted goal of our own leaders to make life unlivable for the unvaccinated. And as a deputized collective, we force-multiplied that pain, taking the fight into our families, friendships, and workplaces. Today, we face the hard truth that none of it was justified — and, in doing that, uncover a precious lesson.
It was a quick slide from righteousness to cruelty, and however much we might blame our leaders for the push, we’re accountable for stepping into the trap despite better judgement.
We knew that waning immunity put vast numbers of the fully vaccinated on par with the shrinking minority of unvaccinated, yet we marked them for special persecution. We said they hadn’t “done the right thing” by turning their bodies over to state care — even though we knew that principled opposition to such a thing is priceless in any circumstance. And we truly let ourselves believe that going into another ineffectual lockdown would be their fault, not the fault of toxic policy.
And so it was by the wilful ignorance of science, civics, and politics that we squeezed the unvaccinated to the degree that we did.
We invented a new rubric for the good citizen and — failing to be one ourselves — took pleasure in scapegoating anyone who didn’t measure up. After months of engineered lockdowns, having someone to blame and to burn simply felt good.
So we cannot hold our heads high, as if believing we had logic, love, or truth on our side while we viciously wished death upon the unvaccinated. The best we can do is sit in the awareness of our rabid inhumanity for having cast so many aside.
Most of us who pilloried the noncompliant did it because it seemed like certain victory, like the unvaccinated would never make it through unbroken. Indeed, the promised new normal looked unbeatable, so we sided with it and made punching bags out of the holdouts.
But betting against them has been a scathing embarrassment for many of us who’ve now learned that the mandates only had the power we gave them. It was not through quiet compliance that we avoided endless domination by pharmaceutical companies and medical checkpoints at every doorway. It was thanks to the people we tried to tear down.
So for those of us not among the hopeless few that pray for the return of mandates, we might find some inner gratitude for the unvaccinated. We took the bait by hating them, but their perseverance bought us the time to see we were wrong.
It seems right now like the mandates will return, but this time there’s hope that more of us will see them for what they are: a rising authoritarianism that has no concern for our wellbeing. If there’s an enemy, it’s the confidence game of state power and the transparent attempt to tear us apart. Heeding that looks like our best shot at redemption.
Agreed. We have only our chains to lose.
The mandate was the reason I decided to NEVER get vaccinated.
I had CV-19 before the the Vaccines and during Delta and Omicron, EVERY vaccinated person I know, that hadn’t had CV-19, got CV-19, but I never got it again.
Turns out, that is what the math says happens, but Math is Racist or doesn’t fit the Official narrative.
Five O’clock news,
The Veiw and CNN are planning Public Service
Announcements.
Local Radio stations also.

Dream on,,
Good Point all.
Not enough regret to get rid of Castro Jr. and the rest of the lot on Parliament Hill.
Canadians have learned nothing.
Psychological Warfare,
Sad.
Was Real Pat King ever released from prison, or is he the Canadian Jan 6 political prisoner?
His crime? Love of country. Love of Freedom.
About a month ago I went to my high school reunion. A prestigious private school in Northern Virginia. As a child I grew up with learning disabilities and it was very tough for me to do well in such a place, but my parents insisted I be there instead of public school. Anyway, I bet 95% of my classmates were vaccinated and boosted. After a few beers I got a real kick bragging how I was not and very happy that way. Me the ditch digger telling the ivy league doctors and lawyers that they had been scammed. I’m sure many made fun of me afterwards afterwards, but I bet they were more concerned that I was telling the truth.
I can hardly believe the words were printed. Does anyone think it’s a set up?
Unfortunately, the majority of people from Ontari-hairy-hairy-owe and Queerbec, vote Lieberal or communist NDP. Many of these self described ‘intelligent’ beings,worship the ground that True-dolt walks on! Even with the multiple ‘blackface’ episodes, the multiple unsolicited ‘gropings’ of women, the multiple cases of verbal abuse against female Cabinet Ministers, and the multiple convictions’ by the gubmint ‘Ethics Commissioner’, they STILL vote this joker in!
Canaduh is finished!
What we learned is that with the Government and the medias help we can turn any group of citizens in to thirds class pariahs
If I had still been raising kids I probably would have taken one for the team and just resolved to take revenge if appropriate.
I’ll read it again.
All my Family were Vaxxed and badgered me. They believe the TV more than I.
How can you break thru it?

Get busy living or
Get busy Dying.

As far as a Setup,,,
We Are so deep in the crap
The orchestrators hold the cards.
Judging from her past writing, she hasn’t changed her point of view. In other words, she has no personal regrets, she is chastising the control freaks.

We learned that there is a raging evil authoritarian in our government and 65%90% of the people dependent on location. It taught me the move between resistance and going on the offense is much quicker than I thought possible. It taught me most people, friends even, are not to be counted on. So learn ….
My best argument is, if Whoopi Goldberg was vaxxed 3 times including the booster, then why did she still get covid? No one has a comeback on that one. I tried it on this leftard and she couldnt say anything.
Sign: “We are hiring at top pay. Vaccinated need not apply.”
Here’s a fairly complete summary of the injustices and lies, written by a retired neurosurgeon.

The hard-core vaxers will argue that if not for the shots and boosts Whoopi would be dead. Not necessarily about the vax, but I have given up arguing with liberal friends. I have a couple of liberal friends who accept my terms and agree not to argue, but most are no longer friends.
It’s madness.

Yes it is... but look at the bright side. What WuFlu has done is let the crazy people publicly identify themselves so there is no dispute as to who they are. This makes it very easy to know who to avoid....
