It was me actually, and it’s a photo from the movie The Road To Wellville, operated by General Kellogg, which was mentioned as a cure I think? Cereal with bleach instead of milk? 🤷‍♂️

Edit, maybe it was enemas that was mentioned? Enemas are big in the movie.

I was wondering what Matthew Broderick and Kelloggs had in common. Anyway, the point was to answer nonsensical with nonsensical.

Quebec has the right idea, a health tax for the selfish and vaccine passports to purchase weed & booze.

Just doing some reading on the “freedom convoy”. What a poopshow.

The convoy, which left Vancouver earlier this week, has more than 275,000 supporters on Facebook, nearly 40,000 supporters on the encrypted messaging app Telegram and has raised C$5.5m from 70,000 donations on GoFundMe.

GoFundMe announced earlier this week it had frozen the funds until it could determine with the organizers how the money would be dispersed. One former intelligence analyst said the “speed and anonymity” of the donations has raised red flags.

“It’s not really clear to me how many of those supporters donating online are actually even Canadian. A lot of the donations have been made anonymously and there’s very clearly some activity from foreign countries,” said Jessica Davis, a former intelligence analyst for the Canadian government and head of Insight Threat Intelligence.

“It’s really difficult to get a sense for how many Canadians actually support this versus how many people globally are trying to oppose vaccine mandates and the associated political objectives,” said Davis.

The convoy highlights the way in which public health measures such as vaccine mandates have become increasingly tied to political divisions.
One of the main groups behind the protest is Canada Unity which has opposed what it says are “unconstitutional” Covid rules. The group recently posted a “memorandum of understanding” to its website, saying that members plan to present it to politicians on Parliament Hill. The group claims that the leader of the senate and the governor general will sign the document to create a governing committee, which they claim would work to revoke the vaccine mandate.

“This document is largely incomprehensible and is completely divorced from our political reality,” said Davis.


just another excuse to female dog and moan about how unfair life is for the dim and confused members of our society.

The funny thing is, there’s lots to be suspicious about in regards to the virus itself. It’s a totally unique organism that’s never been seen in nature before. One could easily develop a sound conspiracy on its origin.

Instead, the alt-right has focused on our own institutions to attack. It’s absolutely crazy and shows you the level of intellect that the majority of society has to work and live with. This is about folks who are unhappy with their lot in life and are just using mask and vaccine mandates as an excuse to female dog and moan about their own lack of motivation and smart decision-making.

It’s a white power organization with no ties to the trucking industry and no plans to actually help.

It’s amazing that this fringe group doesn’t realize they are being played like a fiddle.

Yet the vaccinated are the sheep.

You know I have to admit that I'm also getting tired of these restrictions in place, but we all have to adhere to the policies, and measures put in place. If the requirement is to be fully vaccinated, with a negative test to enter this country then that is the requirement for everyone. I don't care if you are a trucker, military personnel, doctor, policeman, minority, indigenous whatever, follow the requirements.

If you want to protest national policies, go ahead and do so, do it responsibly and respectfully, if you're an asshat you should be called out, singled out, and have punitive measures placed on you. No tolerances for idiots, that includes the dumbasses in HB.

We all are and I know what you're saying. These fucktards keep prolonging these restrictions by not getting vaccinated and then filling the ICU's putting a strain on the already stretched and exhausted healthcare providers. I'm tired of hearing child-like comments like "I want to do what I want when I want" or "I don't want to be told what to". Also, this Karen Convoy is full of white supremists, lots of Proud Boy flags in the crowds.

you're expecting these morons to know about law and governance? these are characters out of trailer park boys but unlike ricky, they didn't get their grade 10 so their occupations reflect that.

lol, whatever became of that referendum on equalization payments?

sometimes, you gotta let the morons be morons and let them get the karen tantrums out of their systems.

I think you may have nailed the descriptions of these characters, although I have had to delete quite a few blatantly misleading and accusatory posts.

i remember when you were first proposed for being ref and debating whether to take it.

and then i remember the troll fests, the internal drama, nFu, spinoff threads that led to meltdowns....

and that all seems like a walk in the park compared to this pandemic, anti-vax, political bs.

what you were expecting: be a ref, it's just hockey talk, you'll just have to moderate some childish back and forth but it won't be too bad. just some hockey talk that gets a bit out of hand.
