Well, the (so called) authorities have destroyed their own credibility.

She's crying. She's mentioning suicide. She's like, 'I don't know what else to do. How am I going to pay rent?' She has two daughters, she's a single mother, no family in Canada. And she went and she took it, and actually ended up in Emergency. Something went wrong.

It’s just horrible what people were put through. What kind of society behaves this way.

My daughter was an LPN who had left her jon because she moved to another town snd started having kids when this came down. She refused to get vaccinated. This caused a LOT of needless stupid trouble during hospital and clinic visits. She’s still not vaxxed, will not get vaxxed and now can’t go back to work or to upgrade to RN and work. They aren’t suffering financially because her husband works as a lawyer for the JCCF, and also refuses to be vaxxed, but he’s working for the right group for that situation! But, the system needs nurses and this is how we shoot ourselves in the foot, refusing to employ trained staff. So criminally wrong!

It has, indeed, been astonishing to watch the decisions made by those whose job is to manage our health care system. Doesn’t inspire confidence. Quite the opposite. That old-fashioned view that it’s a good idea to avoid doctors & hospitals unless absolutely necessary is starting to look wise :-(

I just retired after 42 years as a RN. If it weren’t that my eyesight is pooched and my knees and ankles are done with arthritis, and we moved again so they’d have to pay for my hotel even longer than they did, I’d still be working in my little community hospital. Over those 42 years I went back to school a few times, also was a medic, got my degree, did grad study in epidemiology, did a couple of courses in health economics and health policy, went in the army, did all kinds of nursing. My last 14 years was in ER. I personally took 3 doses of the vaxx because vaccines have never bothered me including the flu shot every year and then got COVID twice, which wasn't any worse than the flu for me, and taking the vaxx likely harmed my immune response to every other coronavirus because essentially it tells the body those viruses are ‘benign’, so your immune system doesn’t ramp up as it should, so I won’t get any more. I argued every bloody day at work with my colleagues both nurses and doctors about the origin and progress of COVID, its incompetent management, the reasons why vaccine mandates were useless but also criminal, that the risks if adverse effects in young adults and children far exceed any benefits, the useless stupidty of ‘community masks’, etc etc. I have seen the current crisis coming for my entire time in nursing. The one thing which has changed since the ‘good old days’ regarding health care decisions is the telling one: It used to cost us money personally we could see-rather than hidden in outrageous taxation levels. Ask yourself ‘Would I do this if I had to pay for it myself, or even pay the equivalent of a party pizza pack’? Why would anyone see a doctor or go to a hospital unless it was absolutely necessary? Why would we fund essentially ‘vanity’ projects like transgender surgery, rather than direct unhappy young people and their gormless enabling parents, to seek therapy for often temporary issues? Think about all the money that would not be billed for expensive procedures and never-ending drugs, if the petitioners and their professionals due to enrich themselves, had to be responsible for its costs?
