Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 29

alone in winterThe semi-open posts  I've hosted here on the Covid-19 narrative, the inadequately tested experimental drugs for it, and the whole cascading mess surrounding them have continued to field a very high number of comments -- to understate the matter considerably! -- so I'm opening yet another space for discussion. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, as Canadian officials launch a campaign of reprisals against citizens who supported a peaceful protest against government policy, and the words "died suddenly" become the favorite media euphemism of our time, the floor is open for discussion.

HMMM!! I'm going to do some research on this because I believe it IS one of the prerogatives of the Queen's representative in all of the dominions. I know they don't like to use it. The last time it was used was in Australia in the 1970's and it was not well received. Maybe the Australians on this forum can comment.

For sure, I am glad I added my voice and emailed her. One thing she CAN do is call Castro Jr. and let him know that the peasants are revolting so he better cool it. As the Queen's Official Representative in this, the 70th anniversary of Elizabeth's reign, I'd bet good money she did just that.

Who knows - maybe Justin got a stern note from Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty is said to be very, very fond of Canada and Canadians. If so, I hope she told him off royally!

Another propaganda articles created to censor, sow confusion and drown the energy.

Of course the citizen cannot initiated a vote of no confidence.

That's beside the point. You can still contact your representative
and general governor so they can then initiate a vote. (Which
is what the convoy was asking)

This article is created with fact-checker in mind, so they
can go on and censor any groups that talk about vote of no
confidence and steer the debate in the direction of fake news.
Wasting time and energy away from possible direct action.

Hopefully people dont get caught in it and do stuff

The citizens can't vote directly, that much is true.
She could use her bully pulpit to tell Parliament the citizenry is Not Happy, and dissolve Parliament, or at least threaten to do so.

I find the timing to be very interesting. The GG has been inundated with phone calls (people being put on hold for 2 hours +, I heard!) and emails for the past week. It's funny that this announcement is made after the Emergencies Act was nixed; it could have been made a week ago.
