It used to be home, now it’s a foreign country, very foreign! The whole country seems to be like this but the vid is about Ontario alone. Ontario is Canada’s largest province and when I was growing up the city I was born in was known as Tory Toronto. Nothing stays the same, and usually becomes much worse. This is unbelievable, although unfortunately very believable.
Victoria was almost like that except we have had zero cases of the Chinese flu for days (weeks) on end, so they eventually persuaded the premier to stand aside.** Oddly this is mostly about the Canadian health system which is a catastrophe although, so far as I can tell, Canadians are really proud of the virtually entirely provincially-run medical system which is worse than even the English system.
But no doubt this decision was poll-tested and in spite of the amount of resistance, you may be sure there is a solid majority who favour these measures. It’s not about the health system, it’s about personal valuation of freedom and human rights.
** Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is walking around and could be back at work soon, a month after a nasty fall on wet stairs landed him in hospital with spinal injuries. Acting Premier James Merlino said Mr Andrews’ doctors were happy with his progress and confirmed he was walking around. The Premier suffered broken ribs and spinal damage after falling at a holiday home on the Mornington Peninsula on March 9.
An emergency is a serious situation that requires immediate action. When someone calls 911 because they can’t breathe, that’s an emergency. When someone stumbles on the sidewalk because their chest is pounding and their lips are turning blue, that’s an emergency. Both people require help right away. Multiply those individuals by millions of people who have similar symptoms, and it constitutes the biggest global health emergency in a century: the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now consider the following scenarios: A hurricane blasts Florida. A California dam bursts because floods have piled water high up behind it. A sudden, record-setting cold snap cuts power to the entire state of Texas. These are also emergencies that require immediate action. Multiply these situations worldwide, and you have the biggest environmental emergency to beset the earth in millennia: climate change.
Given the circumstances, Scientific American has agreed with major news outlets worldwide to start using the term “climate emergency” in its coverage of climate change. An official statement about this decision, and the impact we hope it can have throughout the media landscape, is below.
It’s no longer global warming, of course, since their evidence of an emergency is “a sudden, record-setting cold snap cuts power to the entire state of Texas”, so any unusual climate event will now do as evidence. If you wish to read it all, including their “official statement”, you can go to the link.
Conservatives label younger liberal generations as snowflakes or as having Trump derangement syndrome if they didn’t like the past president; liberals and progressives label right-leaning individuals or conservatives as racists, bigots, misogynists, etc. Resorting to this type of lowbrow behavior might once have been seen as an excuse not to address the actual issues or beliefs at hand, but now ad hominem attacks are more common than not.
But what if what was once a cheap shot or a personal insult has actually been found to bear scientific correlation between the individuals who hold progressive ideologies and an increased risk of mental illness? That’s exactly what Pew Research has found — and all politics aside, the shocking diagnosis of over 50% of liberal women with some form of mental health medical diagnosis is a public health concern that no one seems to be discussing, let alone taking seriously.
Well, it’s a problem that benefits the powers that be. 27
The number at the end gets you to the comments thread which is in itself worth your time. Here’s the data.
From Top 25 most dangerous jobs in the United States. Not office workers, administrative assistants, psychologists, teachers, shop assistants, waitresses, lecturers, airline stewardesses, etc. I suspect the list would be similar in most places.
The only actual homicide on January 6th with any real evidence was the execution of Trump supporter, Ashli Babbit by what appear to be DC police. That would mean the officer was acting under the behest of people like Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, or Mayor Muriel Bowser of DC. Unlike the George Floyd case–or many of the other similar high-profile cases in the past year–the name of the officer who summarily executed Babbit is being withheld as the government in DC stonewalls the investigation. Is it because she was a Trump supporter?
In fact, not a single person entering into the Capitol even had a weapon on them at the time. Worst insurrection ever.
The worst part about seeing the Left succeed is also recognising how third rate they are. Really dumb and ignorant. Thank goodness every so often a Jordan Peterson comes along.
