The vaccine experiment has failed like some experts predicted it would. There is a reason vaccines take 5+ years to develop.

Well we are at spitting distance ("good way to spread the deadleeeee megatron reeeee") of the country being 90% jabbied.
pop is 38m. 90% of that is 34.2m. We are at about 3.5m or so taking out the very young - and, surely one wouldn't advoate or condone jabbing newborns and toddlers with an experimental rushed to market, injectble liquid with no long term safety studies or full approval - would you?
...and take out the very elderly - whom one could argue ...look they are so frail, lets just let them live out their short years in peace hey?
3.5m sprinkled at say, a rate commensurate with pop density accross the country.
Is anyone seriously arguing that the vast majority of these folks are clogging up the hospitals in record numbers?
Lets say, yes they are. Ok. Simple way to see with your own eyes just who the heck is in the hospitals is to go and look. Occams razor says it's older folks with co-morbidities. There's probably data somewhere. BC CDC's data in 2021 showed it was mostly elderly.
Older folks tend to be retired. That means they aren't in employment. Another common sense extrapolation: if this 'pandemic of the unjabbed' was affecting folks of all working ages at random, in hospital clogging numbers, surely one would hear of people you know and failing that, people you know of people they know, that "oh bill got taken in to hospital with the Xi Disease" , and everyday logistics would be a clusterphuq.
IE, random folks that werent jabbed between prime working age, 16-50 in hospitals in record numbers, meaning postmen, couriers, truckers, warehouse workers, power plant workers, cops, medics, cart pushers, checkout girls, road repair crews, snow ploughers. Basically random folks that keep civilisation running, would be affected so much that you see an effect on the streets.
But we don't.
Weird eh?
It's all over the news.

Thank you for the media articles.
It appears the writers may have short memories. In Canada much, if not most of the business difficulties were caused by government, not a pathogen.
Mr. Trudeau elected to put thousands on the CERB dole, with many of them finding that the CERB paid better than being in employment, so effectively paying people with printed money to sit on their posteriors, despite 'hiring' signs popping up everywhere.
Biden and his trillions of printed money handed out as covid 'relief' also helped people sitting on their bums instead of going back to work. Legions of teachers in the USA and Canada are milking this to the max, and still being paid (by us!) instead of getting their lazy asses back to work.
Nurses and docs and assorted staff being fired or 'encouraged' to quit or take the jabby.
Same with truckers in Canada and the USA. The mainstream had articles on truckers being told jabby or go. Plain as day, our Canadian goods entering the states via truck, driver doesnt have or want the jabby? 1 less trucker. Id imagine its the same the other way.
Trudeau said all who enter from the USA must be jabbied. So that includes truckers carrying vegetables from California and US originating goods. No truckers? No goods, no supply, no goods on the shelves at Loblaws.
Seeing as the vast majority of those dying from covid are retired (death numbers affect the elderly the most) the labour force is mostly being affected by various gov interfercences in the free market, and the abiity of people to trade with one another without gov poking their nose in.
The jabby papers for restaurants is an illustration. Also many restaurants and hotels, resorts are saying to workers get the jabby or quit. I know this from personal experience. I travelled to BC lately for a break and some golf. I booked some time and a room at a golf resort in the BC interior. On arrival I found I had to show 'papers' to gain entry to the course, and even my hotel/golf resort room. All their workers had to have the jabby too. How many of them quit?
I could not, and would not. They were good enough to refund my money and i went elsewhere.
All (or certainly most) of this supply hoo ha is caused by government spiteful contantly changing array of 'regulations', rules, curfews and the like.
One would think that our gov doesnt actually want small businesses to survive. It's okay for Messers Trudy and co. They still get paid even if we don't.
Sounds like you think Trudeau invented the response. Here's the playbook from 2006: https://publications.gc.ca/site/eng/9.688957/publication.html
Harper doesn't get off scott free either. He doesn't have a perfect record. Saying that, making a 'plan' and implementing it are 2 different things. Mr. Trudeau did not have to activate said plan, not cimpletely and beyond.
Now my company cannot send our salesmen to the US to see their clients. We cant get new people a lot of the time because the college leavers arent coming in for interviews, they get paid with printed money I guess.
Sure a lot of it we can do over the phone or video call, but it isnt the same. Logistics have also gone down the pan. Our logistics fuel costs are crippling. We can't get stuff over the border each way because our carriers truckers are either quitting (jabby mandates) or parking rigs because diesel is crippling.
At the moment, our HQ in the states is currently cut off from our HQ in Canada. We have had plenty staff take 1 or 2 jabs. Some have had a 3rd. Some had it by chance caught naturally and some declined. Theres enough of them that havent had 3 or nat immunity in each HQ or those that dont want it to affect our profitability because we cant move or trade freely.
Very, very frustrating. Many US staff can't come to us, and many Canadian staff can't travel south, because Biden wants jabby or no entry, and Trudeau wants jabby or no entry. Absolute deadlock.
We couldnt have a staff christmas party in AB or BC this year because of the jabby papers. We can't have conferences or business meetings in different cities because good luck a hotel renting you a ballroom. We have to meet clients or have stealth conferences with large groups in hotel lobbies, smaller groups in coffee shops, minivans, even using our homes! Oh but Bonnie Henry and Kenney says we cant have people over that we dont know in our own damn houses. Absurd we have to sneak rent a big hotel room that opens thru to another, bringing lots of chairs and a projector. Our staff in Quebec can't even walk around in peace after dark or carry on business between clients without hassle from the authorities. Absolutely ridiculous the hoops we have to go through just to carry on a business!!
We have had to raise raw material prices 3 times in the last year alone.
I could go on but omegacanada probably gets the drift.
