Putin crashes Canada internet and cell service

At least if you're a Rogers captive. And even if you're not, apparently all the big banks are, so good luck getting your debit card to work today! Shows you how dependent you are on these electronic grids, grids wide open to hanky-panky by you-know-who. You don't imagine it's mere coincidence this outage comes on the very day Tamara Lich, that Freedom Convoy witch,was ordered to remain in jail till her trial, do you? As we all know, thanks to the brilliant journalism of the CBC, Lich is a white supremacist funded by Putin. Today's cyber-attack is Putin's revenge.

How are things going with Putin's "Freedom Convoy" in Canada?

The elite journos at CBC actually posed that question.

Our legacy media are desperate to disparage the truckers' protest any way they can.

It's pretty much the same story at our national newspaper of record.

I drive into town every day, and fork over $4.20 for my daily Globe and Mail to the Korean Extortionist at the Circle K store. Not that there’s ever $4.20 worth of news in the newspaper, but I gotta stay up to date on which way the wind is blowing amongst Canada’s ruling class.

Those fuckers read The Globe and Mail every day too, and man, I can tell ya honestly, they suffer some serious delusions.

That’s playing out in the public square as I write these words.

The top guns at the Globe were already connecting this weekend to last January 6 in DC two days before the first protester showed up in Ottawa.

The Globe reflects what our “thought leaders”/ elites/ owners/ wish to be the case, and it’s mostly wishful thinking.

In their wishful thinking, the world we have is the best of all possible worlds. More people starving while billionaires get richer is the natural order of things. Only stupid racists would disagree. Therefore, everybody who isn’t happy with our benevolent management of their lives is a domestic terrorist.

And only Putin could engineer such a turn of events.

That’s the level of engagement with the 99% in the pages of The Globe and Mail.

Will 5000 Freightliners parked in downtown Ottawa get PM Fluffy's attention?

I was talking to a (very) recently retired trucker who plans to join the protest parade to Ottawa. He's taking his grandchildren. 

That protest hasn’t got much attention in the national propaganda organ yet, and what we’ve seen has been desultory and dismissive.

But it seems to be a happening thing.

The guy had been crossing the border several times a week throughout the pandemic. At this stage of the game, claiming he shouldn’t do that anymore unless he gets the “safe and effective” vaccine seems silly. Are we still flattening the curve, two years on?

He also says it’s about a lot more than vaccine mandates. People, at least actual people who do real work that can’t be done at home, are tired of being talked down to. They’ve been going backwards economically all their lives. Their kids are priced out of higher education and priced out of the housing market. Their dreams are massively circumscribed compared to past generations of working class people.

The CBC will do everything they can to portray them as anti-science morons, and most probably domestic terrorists to boot. There’s a lot of Asians drive truck, and hopefully they’re well represented among the protesters. After all, the Sikh-led farmer protests in India managed to force Modi to a climb-down, and he’s way tougher than Trudeau.

Alas, Jagmeet, leader of our putative “workers party,” has already denounced the protest.

A few thousand tractor-trailers parked in downtown Ottawa and Toronto for a week should get Justin’s attention.

Pandemic Emperors' clothes increasingly threadbare

Looks like the end of the line for the Great Wuhan Flu. More and more countries are completely eliminating pandemic restrictions.

Not in Canada. In fact, now that the virus has pretty much run its course, our Pandemic Emperors in Ottawa and the media figure it's time to restrict unvaxxed truckers crossing the border. They'e been golden since the pandemic started. No vax - no problem, and that's back when the deadly virus was way more deadly than the latest mutation.

Suddenly, PM Fluffy sees the need to crack down on unvaccinated truck drivers. The federal Pandemic Emperors have spoken! And this bold stroke comes when our emaciated supply lines are already front page news.

Hey morons; if you got it, a truck brought it. Think it through!

But I digress. There are an awful lot of these emperors all across Canada. Because health care is a provincial responsibility, every province needs their own Pandemic Emperor, and of course, a robust support staff of experts, all of them drawing plump six-number pay packets and few of them ever seeing a patient.

All of them are replicating the same studies and modelling already done by the Pandemic Emperors in Ottawa, who are replicating the same studies and modelling already done in England or Sweden or Israel. It is an article of faith among these experts that the same virus behaves differently once it crosses borders.

Omicron was discovered in South Africa. From the get-go we were told it's mild but it spreads like wild-fire. Pandemic Emperors around the world have had to research those claims and find out for sure, often shutting down their societies and inflicting serious, often grave injuries on everything from your livelihood to your child's education.

And guess what? They universally proved the original assessment was right! It's nothing more than a bad cold, but it spreads like a motherf@cker. In fact, multiple teams of experts in many different labs generally agree the Omicron has an R value in the 4 - 5 range. 

That means if you get the virus, on average you'll pass it to four or five others, each of whom pass it along to four or five, and so on. 

Do the math. Since the Omicron was discovered, every breathing soul on planet earth has been infected at least twice. 

This isn't a development the Pandemic Emperors welcome. After all, it's a fun job...

Isn't it time to sack the lot of them, so we can go back to our own jobs, and our kids can go to school, and the CBC can talk about something other than how delighted parents are to find a safe injection site for their five year old?

It's time to move on.
