Quebec officials announced Monday that they are taking the drastic step of throwing the province into a lockdown amid an explosion of Omicron cases.

“The situation is critical. The explosion of cases is overwhelming,” Health Minister Christian Dubé said at a press briefing. “Our health system is already in crisis.”

Dubé said establishments such as bars, cinemas, concert venues, gyms and spas in the Canadian region will shut down starting at 5 p.m., CBC News reported.

Working from home is now mandatory for all non-essential employees, including government staffers.

Restaurants, which are allowed to operate at half capacity, must close by 10 p.m.

Meanwhile, sporting events will not be allowed to have spectators, officials said.

If there’s a poutine shortage, you’ll see a revolt!

Yes. That is the intention. Some people just want to burn everything down. Covid is just another excuse. Like all the psychos who joined Isis. They didn’t care about about Islam. It was just an excuse to rape and murder and destroy. Lockdown bureaucrats and politicians are the same. They just hide it better.

Because of the politicization of the virus, politicians always overreact because they don’t want to be accused of doing too little. They know that they will not be personally hurt by their mandates; only the little people will.

With all those people dying, what else could they do? When we woke up this morning it was like the curtain went up across the globe on Act II. Complete total BS.

This is lockdown 2.0. They’ve seen how outrageously successful they were in Australia, that they’re implementing lockdowns everywhere. It’s a big tightening of the screws, and I’m suspicious not only of the timing but if they’ll actually lift it in the future. I smell another variant in March/April.

I think there is no coincidence in the fact that they are re-imposing these lockdowns right before Christmas. They are trying to break the spirit of the people.

It is not about healthcare it is all about control and herding the sheeple. In South Africa where this supposed strain emerged they have ended all actions regarding this mild strain of the original chicom virus. But the media is so evil that it will serve the lying oligarchy to use the variant as a scare tool to end sovereignty of we the people. THAT IS EVIL in action.

We'll have to see what Joe will do tomorrow. I think nothing significant because he would provoke red states to revolt and red areas in blue states. Think of Upstate in New York. And Staten Island in New York City. That would potentially end Biden's presidency so that's why I say it is unlikely. More likely he will go on a rant against the unvaccinated.

Perhaps a better word would be oligotcha rather than the oligarchy.

As of yesterday, the 7-day moving average of Covid deaths in Canada was 17, for the entire country. That is actually a slight drop from a few weeks ago.

I don't think that's going to work out the way they think it is -- if you back people into a desperate corner, with nothing left to lose, they will lash out.

We do a lot of volunteer events for veterans, and I can tell you there are a lot of true patriots out there who've just about reached their limit.

Conveniently for the left, this will restrict movement on Christmas.

This is the last gasp of the '60s and '70s "activists," some of them billionaires now.

It's long been their dream to foist "World Socialism" on all of us except them. They're in a hurry to do it before they croak.

Leftist leaders all over the world are their diligent, well-paid footsoldiers.

If George, and Bill, and the rest of the homeboys want their city/state/country shut down, they get right to that.
