Went to Parallel 49 on Thursday night with a buddy of mine.

They still have these big ass plexiglass windows partitioning the seats on the benches.

It's absurd and terrible to sit within -- it's like you're in a little box sitting beside people, like a damn bubble. Completely destroys the pub vibe, and the ability to have a random chat with people sitting beside you, it's all just very odd. Covid has turned us all crazy, seriously.

I get why people are sick of this shit, no wonder we're so divided.

P49 really underlines the absurdity of it. I go there fairly frequently

When they relaxed the mandates they removed those dividers, when they came back they put them back up. Like they do a fucking thing to prevent airborne transmission in a place like that lol.

He's one of the last "Liberal", "Left-Wing" leaders in any Western government right now. He's become the catalyst and focus of ire by the global rightwing media machine.

Heck, Trump recently called him a "left-wing lunatic"
The hardcore left are still not happy enough with him. So when both sides aren't completely happy, it really means he's the perfect centrist.

And that ends up being the issue in lots of altercations. The person asking the other to mask up, or a passport, or seeing dividers everywhere, social distancing protocols, etc; some of the time the vendor/store/restaurant/bar employee enforcing it might think it's dumb too or not even care really but isn't quite ready to fight for that freedom and wants a pay check and would rather just keep it moving but joe freedom fighter picks THAT instance to make a point about tyranny. Pick your timing and who you are battling with. Sheesh. It comes down to a humanity choice rather than a freedom fighting choice. You can fight for freedom in other ways without hurting the average worker.

No matter what you believe, understand that others who even may believe in your cause too are just trying to get paid and live life. Sticking it to those people in the name of change is just backwards and feeds into the division.

That I can agree with. Nobody wants to get off work and have an altercation though. I’m sure the people that have sure as fuck weren’t expecting such garbage behaviour from the last “protest” at VGH or Nanaimo general, etc.

I thought they made hospitals or vaccine places exclusion zones where you can't protest. Cuz those dumbasses that protested at the hospital a while back.

Naomi Klein has written an excellent book (The Shock Doctrine) that discusses this whole idea, I suggest checking it out:

That would require the police to not be useless for once, which is unlikely.

What exactly is your goal if you are counter-protesting the mandates protests?

To have additional restrictions applied?

JT is doing the smart thing by doing nothing. The longer it lasts the greater chance of something negative happening and people will blame the cons.

After this photo op Pierre Poilievre has announced he is running for the con leadership.

The snow plow man in 1992 truck knows best.

Poilievre is really going to pick an imaginary fear of empty shelves as his political hill to live/die on? He’s an even bigger fool than I thought he was.

I was referring to the irony of talking about "the haves enriching themselves" and then posting a link to Amazon, owned by Jeff Bezos.

It's a little too doomsday. They can absolutely "do something about it" but the concern is it becoming open warfare in the city and the collateral damage. I do agree that they are waiting to see how it goes because if they go ballistic on them it'll just allow the group to gain more traction and drag out the more extreme people hiding in the shadows.

I have no doubt that they can call in the military and take these guys out an less than a day. It's not something they want to do after all the things that has happened in the states, and the high profile protests and incidents that made headlines in HK.

I figured you were doing that

Fine, book it out at your local library, it's worth a read

"Why we're polarized" is another excellent one by Ezra Klein.

Not much can discredit your protest as much as promoting IVERMECTIN KILLS COVID. It shows you have no fucking clue what you're protesting about, and are just following the thing that right wing grifters commonly promote. That's it. You're being duped into disrupting the entire country by grifters.

I feel sad for these people.

(and yes, I know it kills covid in a test tube)
