    As the camera passed by, many at the hub shouted “woohoo, truckers!” and wore food-handling gloves, if no masks.

    Kenora was scheduled to be the first Ontario stop for the controversial convoy.

    The organizer who posted the video told the Star she was “so beyond stoked” that the truckers were coming to the town of about 15,000 people, where according to Statistics Canada data about nine per cent of residents work in the trucking industry themselves.

    That organizer then stated that she and everyone supporting the convoy have been told not to speak to the media because “too much smearing of this and not the truth being told.” A second organizer confirmed that the Kenora supporters had been asked by convoy organizers not to speak to media.

    This truly needs to be highlighted as the bottom is quickly falling out of the oligarch narrative and people are truly saying "enough is enough". Trudeau calls these truckers a fringe element, but the more it underestimates this movement, the more his time is fading as a PM.

    And the media blackout just shows that they do not want this movement to gain any other legs. Just like they absolute have ignored all the massive protest in Europe against the vaccine passports.

    The irony is that Peter O'Toole dissociates himself from this event.

    I guess that's a detail you missed.

    And what relevance does this contribution add to the topic on hand?

    This means that it doesn't pay to support anti-vaxers politically.

    Don't you understand why?

    The "anti-vaxxer" term is getting stale. If being against mandates makes a person an "anti-vaxxer", then being for mandates that do nothing to prevent you from catching, nor transmitting the virus you're supposedly being vaxxed against is a Big pharma shill that is anti logic.

    Even liberals are finding people such as yourself fairly nonsensical. If you're scared of the virus.. You really should just go hide while the rest of humanity gets back to some semblance of normalcy.

    What you refuse to accept that covid IS the new normal. It's the new "flu", except this one kills ;)

    Since the vast majority of those refusing this particular pharma product are current with all their necessary vaccines, those using the term "anti-vaxers" are only parading ignorance and willingness to let others do their thinking.

    What you refuse to accept, that there has never been mandated flu shots..... And FYI, H1N1 has a vastly higher mortality rate than That of Alpha, Delta and about 100x greater mortality than that of Omicron. You all are losing your chit over a cold now.

    WOW...stop watching Fox News

    From the CDC:
    The Flu = 52,000 per year
    Covid deaths in 2020 = 252,000
    Covid deaths in 2021 = 390,000

    Yeah, 7x more likely to die from covid than the flu......not the same

    You understand that the others strains of the virus still exist right ? You also understand that the virus mutates and will continue right ?

    It is quite the thing to see, the largest convoy protest in the whole world. They should be proud. They are fighting the good fight in Canada, just like in other countries.

    First off... I watch them all. Fox, CNN, MSNBC (really hard to watch), Al Jazera, Daily Beast, Brietbart, Huffington post, Drudge. They all are are biased and tell half truths so it's responsible persons job to injest it all and mold you own opinion and not take any of their words as fact.

    Second, I was referring to mortality rate in that if you have 20,000 die out of 1,000,000 versus 200,000 die out of 100,000,000, the 20,000 becomes a vastly more compelling story. And by no means and I trying to diminish those who have died from COVID either. However, I will own up when I'm wrong and I was wrong on the mortality. Covid mortality is greater than Influenza (Omicron excluded). I had those numbers in my head (mortality rates) and not sure where I got them from, but they were wrong.

    I will stand by, at least for the interim, that Omicron is vastly less lethal than that of the flu. However, that will take some time to see real numbers with the conflation of Delta and Omircon during the initial surge.

    Is your side going to campaign on that this is the new normal after Biden campaigned on getting rid of the China virus completely? We are now into year 3 of two weeks to flatten the curve and now you want to say that fear mongering, censoring, vaccine passports and endless boosters are the new normal? I can already see it now, come July of this year there will be a new variant requiring mail in ballots for the entire country, it will be called midterm-i-cron.

    This is the part that amazes me. The right say "NO VACCINES".....and in the very next sentence says "Why hasn't Joe Biden stopped Covid"......

    There will always be new variants, as virus' by definition "carry genetic material, reproduce, and evolve through natural selection". So they will only get worse. Omicron may be less lethal, because it may actually be a newer variant than the variants we have been dealing with, just not spread as much. But worse ones are going to come.

    It's going well.

    Those who believe in science are almost all vaccinated.

    The others prove that Darwin was right.

    Except the "Science" doesn't support having children, healthy young adults, or those with Natural Immunity from previous infection being vaccinated.

    You voted for the man who increased the death toll. Glad you admit it. Now add in the number of deaths of despair - suicide and ODs. Now add in the 500% increase in childhood speaking disorders that developed in the past year due to young children being masked. Now add in the unfathomable increase in failure in school children. This is permanent damage that CANNOT be undone. I spoke about this more than a year ago. FINALLY some on the left are starting to notice the consequences.

    Barry Wiess on Bill Maher finally said it:
    The more self aware progressives are finally starting to realize:
    upload_2022-1-27_20-52-58.png

    They will rightfully be remembered as monsters for the depraved and sick actions they took to "combat the virus". None of their actions did anything other than increase the death toll and inflict long term permanent damage to the economy and the youngest Americans. This is what true evil looks like.

    In this video, Scott Atlas quantifies the damage and it is truly colossal. This is a must watch.


    What we have been subjected to over the past year has been a crime against humanity and those responsible MUST be prosecuted and imprisoned if we are are ever to recover and heal.

    A 22 drop in IQ.... well done Biden... mission accomplished!

    Medical workers in many states have mandated flu shots

    If it was good enough for a previously infected president it’s good enough for me!
    But yah the science does support vaccines for previously infected
    Cdc
    In today’s MMWR, a study of COVID-19 infections in Kentucky among people who were previously infected with SAR-CoV-2 shows that unvaccinated individuals are more than twice as likely to be reinfected with COVID-19 than those who were fully vaccinated after initially contracting the virus. These data further indicate that COVID-19 vaccines offer better protection than natural immunity alone and that vaccines, even after prior infection, help prevent reinfections.
