From January 6th until a couple of weeks ago I stopped caring. I wanted nothing to do with anything anymore. I tuned out absolutely everything, and paid attention to nothing that was going on. Honestly, it was probably the most stress free I'd been in a long time.

But then, one day when I was just minding my own business, YouTube felt it was necessary to snap me back to reality with a "recommendation".

"Canada discusses mandatory vaccination passports"

I've spent the last decade or so of my life involved in a field with international implications. My dream has always been to get out of Canada. I prayed the idea of vaccination passports was going to stay in the realm of conspiracy, but here we are, and it seems like its arrival is inevitable.

Suddenly I can't just sit back and ignore the problems that we as a country and global society face. My hopes and dreams are being destroyed, my life is being destroyed. Ignorance is a road paved with bliss, but it ultimately leads straight to hell. I can no longer afford to not be informed. I want to be a part of whatever movement is pushing back against the tyranny. And ultimately I'll either get my life back, or I'll die trying.
