Just a quick note to ensure that people are aware that things are starting to shift in the right direction in Canada. As reported by our mainstream media (if they say anything that is ‘anti-narrative’ then you know it is true!), Alberta is going to rescind their COVID-19 inoculation passport and the need to apply for exemptions. This is supposed to happen this month…
…let’s hope this is just the first of many dominoes to fall. I am so happy for all the Albertans who will be freed from their current segregation!
Hi Judy, I couldn't agree more. The reality is, as per the article in the link, I worry that this may be more of a temporary political stunt than anything else. The messaging does little to alleviate people's unnecessary fear of the Omicron variant. It also leaves the door wide open to try to reinstitute unnecessary measures should a new wave occur, which is almost guaranteed to happen for an endemic virus like this that is prone to mutating over time. However, it is certainly a move in the right direction and my hope is that a 'temporary' removal of the passport will make it much more difficult to implement it again. The taste of freedom will make people much less willing to have a tyrannical mandate reintroduced. Relief from mandates will give us precious time to convince more people with the science that the virus has reached a point where we no longer need to treat it as anything other than something like the colds and flus and other respiratory infections that we have lived with our whole lives. Once these rules are gone for good, we absolutely must replace the people that implemented them or we'll never be safe in the future; if not SARS-CoV-2, they will eventually find another reason to do this all over again.
Still lots of work to be done - Alberta should drop all mandates effective immediately! Thank you for working tirelessly to help make this happen.
