I hope you are right friend, I would much prefer to live in that world than the one that is seemingly being rolled out.

If Ford comes out and makes it voluntary then this endeavor is to be praised, however, if he makes it mandatory then he is just quickening the rope around freedoms neck. Be weary of allegiances.

Despite the other nonsense Harvo posts he isnt wrong on that one.

ALL THINGS POSTED ON THIS SITE IS FOR COMEDIC PURPOSES, AND HAVE NO REAL WORLD INTENTIONS, CSIS PLEASE NO RAID THIS MAN.

I took a Data Science course at my uni this year. A full semester of learning how these guys can glean data, which is a horrifying conversation, but also how to use that data once you have it. Its not just the media that misframes it but also the agencies that collect the data and the customers who hire these agencies. The only valuable thing that I gleaned from the classes was that if you can show a link between sets then you can theorize a trend, with the caveat that you say "correlation does not equal causation" while you discuss the link to absolve you of any potential bias. Sure, there are some tools to show you how closely those sets are linked, but no further exploration to verify the link outside the dataset itself. This works to a great extent when dealing with objective values, such as equipment failures or optimization, but when you approach data that is subjective, such as a humans actions or events, and apply the same rules/tools you completely neglects a pile of variables and thus the outcomes and results are on loose terms (whether intentional or not). They then present these flimsy results to the public as fact and people eat these facts up. Essentially they treat us like machines that have a predictable outcome from any given influence. There is something to say in regards to the rule of crowds but I would argue that the crowd is still made up of subjective and unique individuals who at any moment can defy the movement of the crowd and forge a new path, and with that presents an opportunity that could move the crowd in an unforeseen direction, better known as leaders. We are all being monitored for these data scientists to tell corporations and politicians how to best go about rolling out their plans as effectively and efficiently as possible, and if we dont question their methods or intentions then were no better than sheep being corralled into any pen the shepherds want.

I awake, ready for whatever lays before me, a mystery only I can solve, the start of a new day. The smell of frothing soy fills my nostrils and I know that its going to be a good morning, Xinnuth, my girlfriends boyfriends brothers partner pokes their head into our open concept free range living space and asks if id like a coffee, of course I graciously accept and walk out to the balcony of my 64th floor downtown apartment. Xinnuth places the steaming mug on the side table and squeezes into the 3' platform as they are lighting a "space comrade gortex extreme" prerolled spliff from the dispensary across town. I take in the sights and sounds of the city below and I realize that I skipped my morning routine, my chakras are not aligned and I havent checked my stars. So I grab my iphone 23xPro and scroll through my 39 grindr notifications forgetting why I picked up the phone to begin with, hehe that space comrade has me good, oh right my stars. Thankfully I found this script on the ten cent market place that will autolaunch all of my star charts and horoscopes at once. "Empowerment is defined by the people around you, so listen, speak, and follow the flow", damn that cut deep. My 3pm alarm breaks my concentration and remember I have a shift at the local coop. Mask? check, Hand sanitizer? Check. Back up mask? Check. smokes, phone, bike lock? Check, check, check. I get to the streets below and start my journey. The day is grey and cool, I light a cig and get off my two speed to wait at a light. A rough looking man is standing on a milk crate, he looks tired but screams with so much hate "Are you anxious? Are you tired? Jesus says come to me and rest!" Ugh, I throw the remaining coffee on his book stack and muster all the courage I can "STOP TELLING OTHER PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE, YOUR GOD IS DEAD YOU RACIST BIGGOT!". I hop back on Nomad, my nickname for my bike, and ride off to my job. Heh, thatll show him, Ill have to post this on reddit later.

Really highlights how effective middle school tactics are on the sheep. "Youre a looser"

• noooo, youre a looser "No, youre the looser"
• youre a looser "Im a looser"
• "Im the looser! haha take that looser Im the looser, idiot"

Again, a narrative that doesnt exist. No, I think instead I will raise my children in a God fearing home, to shoot straight and work hard, to think for themselves and help others when they can. Raise a generation that isnt brainwashed into thinking that everyone is their enemy and the system will carry them.

These people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny. - The one who gets away

Why would anyone take anything that they themselves are capable of handling more effectively and efficiently? Its nonsense.

Guys, this is the game, stop with the outrage. All of this is intended to push anyone paying attention into bedlam.

First we have a virus that the media is claiming to be devastating, world altering, one for the history books, yet it has a high survival rate.

Next, keeping in mind the media is still pushing all this fear, they take all the masks and ship em to a foreign country. What do we get? A T-shirt and an arms width apart.

Now were at the point that we bought this rushed and most likely ineffective vaccine to treat a virus that is as harmful as the flu, and is controlled by wearing a tshirt over your mouth, and were giving it away to yet another foreign country.

This is not the act of a shitty leader, this is the act of someone with malicious intent. Like the emotionally manipulative abusive girlfriend that just wont move out, but also beats the shit out of you and then blames you for everything. Stop giving them your emotions, stop giving them your authority, stop giving them a platform.

Why would they do that, this way were backed into the corner AND have to hear their self righteous lectures, its every journalists wet dream.

Hate to break it to you friend, but my war is your war, youre just refusing to accept that the battle is taking place. This system has fallen into the hands of corruption and power mongers, if you want to keep living the fantasy that theyre pitching because you bought a jersey and root for the home team then that is your prerogative, well be here for you if and when shake off the stolkholm syndrome.

Im sorry but youre already convinced of a narrative that simply does not exist. I am not an antifag, I am not a Canadian conservative or an American conservative, I am a Canadian who is questioning the integrity of the system I once had hope in. You say that were in a time where controversy sells yet play into the controversy of sides when interacting with me, someone who isnt in 100% agreeance with you, you even stoop to the level of name calling. You see, the irony is that you and I agree on the condition of our country, and yet youve already discounted my opinion based off snapshot judgements. My opinion of the current party leaders does not define my political beliefs, they are simply a critique of the person themselves. Stop falling for the trap of division, especially considering you are already aware of the trap and its implications.

Its getting to the point that normies are media hoarders. They waste their life away collecting every morsel the black box preaches, and when someone tries to throw away the macaroni art that is their narrative they lash out and scream from the roof tops. How do you deal with these people? You cant kill them, you cant argue with them, you cant reason with them, you seemingly cant do anything with them. I have found that when I control my temper and tone while speaking with them and simply explain why their nonsense is hypocritical, or counter intuitive, or just not thoroughly thought out, they spend less time arguing and more time rationalizing their own beliefs. I think if we can get them to think critically about their own beliefs instead of fighting them they will figure it out themselves. They have spent years believing whatever the black box tells them but very little time questioning its integrity, get them to question the integrity and the lies will surface on their own with an added bonus of teaching them to think for themselves. Outside of that have lots of kids and raise them right.

Finally some stones from on official. Hopefully more stand up to this.

Be honest with yourself man, what is happening in our country? Im not anti government, Im anti THIS government. Both the libs and cons have been carrot and sticking us for years. "I will scrap the carbon tax", gets voted in "we will be looking at reworking our position in the Paris accord". "Were scraping the Firearms Act" gets voted in silence. OToole is just as milquetoast as Scheer, Sockman is, well Sockman, Jagmeet is a snake oil peddler, and Max is just screeching from the corner but fails to show up to vote on motions. There are currently no good leaders in positions to make the change necessary to bring us out of this mess.

What do you do when youre in an abusive relationship? Break connection, lawyer up, hit the gym. So long as you give them power over you they will abuse it, take back your life.

See this for what it is, mockery. They are resorting to making fun of people who dont comply, why? Because school yard tactics are the easiest and most effective method of creating a hive mind - target an individual and throw around some relatable quirk, if you defend the target you must be like the target, ignore them and youre not cool. Dont let them discourage you or steal your hope by ostracizing you.

Do you believe the government is capable of doing anything in a good way? Its all insider baseball and they dont care about whats best for the country or its population, and they have quite the history to prove it regardless of the colors they fly.

I would agree if the tax payer was the share holder but we all know that isnt going to happen and instead it will be a slow take over similar to the way they move in to buy up properties after driving up property taxes and pushing out local businesses. This isnt good in any way.

No it cant and no it wont. Mask mandates are everywhere, the common joe is following the mandate, they have fines for defying the order and to add to the fuckery there is no means of measuring the obedience. So, how do you tangibly prove that "at least 70% of the public" is or is not wearing the mask? If they have a means of measuring compliance then that is another heavy discussion itself, but regardless if they can prove or disprove it, how is this measure helpful? 69% compliant and were still in the pandemic? 100% and the pandemic ends abruptly? These talking points are nonsense and utterly useless.

Take some action man, why do you need to convince her youre right, why is your discomfort with the idea not a good enough for her to wait. She will never see it the way you do, she clearly does not care about economics or the current housing market because if she did she would already know that this is bad time to jump in. You need to stop treating real life like the internet, no amount of data, evidence, articles, journals, youtube videos, opinions or talking will ever get her to understand something she doesnt care about. You know what she cares about? Being safe, being protected from the world that is becoming increasingly harder to rationalize. If you approach this they way you are you will either buy a house you cannot afford/not happy with or you will be fighting until one of you does something stupid. Wake up, see her motivation for buying a house and tackle that motivation, stop appeasing emotional whims and fear based responses.

The left right paradigm is breaking. They have been pitting us against each other for decades. They get us hot and bothered over libs and cons, over straight and gay, over black and white, native and foreigner, every possible dichotomy they could micromanage. We no longer see each other as brothers and sisters but rather enemy and ally. We fight battles that we have no business being in, we bicker amongst ourselves over events that we were not apart of and more often than not we cant even agree on how the even took place, we show hostility to anyone that challenges our feeble world view while hoisting ad hominin as our main weapon of choice, both sides do this. They have successfully convinced us that their party cares about you and your well being and it is morally just to confront and smite the opposing side, but they do not care about morality they only care to remain in power and keep us from finding out about all the corrupt bullshit theyve managed to pull off while everyone was ignorantly fighting over emotional alchemy and not reality. This isnt a battle of good and evil because they are the evil ones, both sides, it is a mere distraction from the problem - themselves. Turn your anger and malice toward the true perpetrators and away from the people you interact with, they are just as much a victim as you are, weve all been taken for a ride.

1. The characteristics show that it is no different than a seasonal flu, as you pointed out in point 6. Whats more likely is that this is a flu and the effects are a result of pumping people up with strong antibiotics and the mutation has grown more resilient. Stop using their rhetoric, there is nothing novel about this.
2. So, like any other illness.
3. A vaccine to "cure" us from a non life threatening, typical illness? No thanks. Were not vaccinating for any other common non life threatening illness, why this one? Why are they pushing this so hard? Why have they removed liability clauses? Why are they rushing for such a low mortality rate? No.
4. Again, stop using their language. Fake news, novel, this is puppetry, no free thinking man uses these terms.
5. Well the data is indicating an over reaction, yet lock downs and restrictions continue, and to a greater extent. So which is it, need a lock down and vaccine or an over reaction? Youre contradicting yourself.
6. No one wants to get sick regardless of its type, hallow point.
7. Again, fake news, is it that difficult to hold a conversation without using these terms? The media has, and always will be against the common good of the people. Turn off your TV.
8. If this point is true then why are we allowed to wear what is essentially a tshirt? If youre considering this to be a sneeze guard then great, but a tshirt does not contain all moisture from breathing let alone any other bodily fluids. Also, why are the powers that be caught red handed not following their own protocol?
9. Another contradiction, just like every other home grown expert. So we have over reacted, but need a vaccine, we should be wearing masks but have no idea how effective they are. Would you wear a rubber with the same type of stats?
10. A fire drill you say? Then berate people about conspiracy theories? So not only do you contradict yourself but also somewhat of a hypocrite. We have over reacted and need a vaccine as well as wear a potentially non effective mask but it was all a test to see if we will be prepped for a real threat? You mean a threat so great it will be defeated by limiting purchases found on one side of a grocery isle but not the other side? Prepared like shutting down small businesses but keeping international flights open? Have the weapons and defensive measures of keeping certain grades open but day care, despite children being a historical spreader of common colds and flus? You mean were prepared for a real threat by covering our face with a tshirt for walking a dog in a park? I feel safe, dont you?
11. Finally, the creme de la creme of talking points for brain dead ill informed busy bodies. The great reset is more than a transfer of wealth, it is the birth of a new economic model that on the surface seeks to eliminate greed and waste. But when brought to its logical conclusion destroys the working class, strengthens international trading bonds to the point of local economic suffocation, and ultimately lets the big boys reign supreme. If you cannot see this as the stepping stones of tyranny then you are the retarded conspiracy theorist. It is well documented and the opinions of those involved are becoming increasingly more brash. "You will own nothing and be happy", how do you purpose such a world? Do you think people will give up their stuff for free or a slow transition to a subscription model for all of lifes necessities? Either way you are forcibly removing the freedom of choice from the participant. Add to that the mockery of "and youll be happy" is the cherry on top, is it not? If you werent so busy trying to belittle and shitpost on your brothers and sisters, your neighbors and friends then perhaps you wouldnt be so obviously disillusioned. Really, youre the victim in all of this, theyve removed your free will and more importantly your free thought and you dont even know it. That is, unless youre being paid for this, in which case youre a traitor, and traitors in time get the rope.
