Can anyone today look me in the face and tell me that the government has dropped these Covid mandates that were meant to dictate and control us little people? Can anyone explain to me why my dentist office nor my chiropractor’s office does not require mask wearing but when I walked into two eye surgeon offices to arrange treatment I was forced to leave for refusing to wear a mask (told no if ands or buts - put on a mask or leave) - tomorrow morning- I am scheduled to attend my yearly stress test at my cardiologist office ( which although I’m getting older each year - Covid care now says My needs for my visits have decreased frequency of appointments from one to two years - last time in April 2021) - will be forced to wear a mask to enter his office! - just came up with the idea of claiming that the government has made me so paranoid of contracting Covid in public that I’m thinking of wearing one of those $70 - $90 hazardous masks and buying and wearing a pair of those whit hazardous material coveralls that workers extracting asbestos must wear for protection when I enter his office and demand double safe distance of separation from 6 to 12 ft. in their offices- if they have the right to demand their standards on their patients -I believe I have a right to also demand even more from them to me meet my standards.

In March I visited Mitchell Eye Centre in Calgary. I think I saw one staff member and a few patents wearing masks, but there was no request or requirement and the vast majority were not wearing masks. So there is some sanity returning.

The difference David is you don’t have an idiot of a tyrant wingman for Trudeau in your province like we in Ontario as we have with Doug Ford who allows businesses and firms to make up their own discriminating rules - unbelievable!!!

Peter - can you send me a private email at barbaraburrows@protonmail.com and send me the name of your eye surgeon? I am due for a checkup and am presuming I am going to run into same protocol so keep stalling. I am in Burlington so if your experience is in another city, it doesn’t matter. Actually I haven’t been in any doctors office since before COVID - maybe CPSO has mandated this? GRRRRRR

We use to call people who pushed drugs on others "Drug Pushers," and when caught we put them in jail. How is this different? Isn't it actually worse?
