Sunday, Sunday

Right. World events being as they are, I’m going to ignore that which I have no hope of understanding. Specifically the situation regarding Ukraine and Russia, or why Justin Trudeau is such a tw*t. Although I have an inkling of what cunning old Vlad is up to and am preparing accordingly.

Trudeau on the other hand authorises brute force on peaceful protesters in Ottawa, then has the nerve to stand up and spout some formulaic crap about ‘standing up for human rights in the Ukraine’. If I was the Ukrainians I wouldn’t be expecting any help from Canada. Apart from a deployment of the pronoun police waving their rainbow banners.

Anyway. Today I am close to finishing my mobile work bench and will soon start the process of Hive building. Now there’s a whole range of differing hive designs, from the National and Langstroth to the Warre and Long designs, all of which I’m going to build at least one of each by the end of March when the bees arrive.

The Bees are the nexus, the pivot around which everything else revolves. I have wildflower seeds to sow in mid-March (One days work), trees to order (four days) and a hundred and forty plus board feet of eight and a half inch by five eighths plank. Which will build me quite a lot of hives, so I need to build jigs for all the parts and maybe buy some more water resistant wood glue and a shedload of30mm panel pins.

This is what this Sunday is about. Plotting and planning. We know what building works we need have to have done and what sort of time frame and budget we have. So the decisions made, I’m handing off the day to day management of builders to Mrs S while I do the more physical stuff. It’s going to be a busy Spring and Summer.

In the meantime we’re taking a short time out to have a nice lunch before we pull the trigger on the building works and put our heads down. “Don’t forget the new farmyard gate or the raised vegetable beds.” Says Mrs S. Heavy sigh. Sunday, Sunday. What the hell.

Better dig faster

So Putin has taken it to the wire? Not just a bite as I first thought, but trying to swallow the whole of Ukraine. Right. So we have a real live shooting war on our hands.

Predictably, the markets took a dive. Our broker has repeatedly sent out “Don’t panic” emails to us over the last 24 hours. Not that we’re going to, Mrs S and I are very careful about such things.

While others do headless chicken impersonations we tend to hunker down and make our own assessment. A policy which has served us well thus far.

Still a bit pissed about losing on the Canadian banks this week, but those losses are reducing day on day and we will recoup in the medium term. Even if that dolt Trudeau and his bunch of WEF sponsored f*ckw!ts remain in office. He’s so out of his depth he’s drowning and the actions of the Police after the Truckers Convoy has been pushed out of Ottawa are making him look like a bigger N*z! than the people he rails against.

As for the WEF, I wonder how many of those totalitarian scumbags have taken a cold shower over this Ukraine business? The Russian and associated markets have dropped like a hanged man, and a lot of people, not just Russians, may find their ‘wealth’ but a hollow shell of paper. May that put an crimp in their meddlesome ways.

And this was all so avoidable. The Biden administration, in this memorable quote from a previous administrations military advisor;

“President Biden and his failed foreign policy team set the table and sent the invitation and President Putin came and spoiled the dinner party.”

In the meantime, the Russkies are offering the Ukrainians terms of surrender. Their stated aim being the ‘demilitarisation’ of the Ukraine. Hopefully the Ukrainians and the Biden administration will see the situation as a nuclear car crash waiting to happen and tell the Russians to withdraw providing they in turn make the guarantees of neutrality necessary. If NATO takes it’s missiles away, says Putin, then the invasion will stop. Allegedly.

If they don’t, then I won’t just be buying a new spade, I’ll be hiring an excavator to dig a shelter.

Update: I was out shopping earlier, and while passing the supermarket ‘news’ paper shelf I noted that most of the front pages were beating the propaganda drum for war. Putin is the bad guy and NATO din’t do nuffin by sticking missiles into Ukraine. Which is what the Russki’s are complaining about. Right, phoning plant hire company,,,,

Another update: Apparently Ukrainian President Zelensky wants to negotiate, but the USA doesn’t want him to... Interesting. The low level proxy war which triggered the Russians has been going on since 2014 between Ukraine, NATO nations and the seceding Russian backed locals , with snipers and shelling from both sides in a nasty little tit for tat conflict. And the EU, in it’s push for ‘ever closer Union’ is partially to blame, using NATO as muscle behind it’s drive to expand.

There are commentators who say Putin has ‘lost his mind’. I don’t think so. He’s like a chess player faced with someone determined to play dominoes instead. And I don’t think the Western nations, particularly the current US Administration, come out of this mess looking all that good.

I agree

This ordinary Canadian guy speaks his mind and recounts some personal anecdotes of how the perennial drumbeat of fear porn has turned so many against their own families.

I repeat; the threat is low, the vaccinations pose as much risk as not. Masks and lockdowns are no better than placebos at stopping SARS/COV-2, and are probably far worse for your mental health.

Far too many have been driven barking mad. Maybe a real war will bring them to their senses.

Now I’m off out to get digging a fallout shelter like Colin Furze. Byee…..

It’s true I tell you!

For all you deniers and unbelievers out there I would like to present clear cut proof and evidence of global warming here in the currently not so Emerald Isle.

Not…..

All right, it’s just a strinkling, but weren’t we told that “…children won’t know what snow is…” by some wavy handed activist ‘expert’ back in 2010 2000? Gosh, twenty years wrong. Thanks to the pedantic bogtrotter for the reminder. But I mean, seriously?

This is as pleasantly bucolic a scene as one would wish to wake up to at this time of year. But the roads aren’t difficult, I’m off out to buy a spade (not a shovel) for doing a little light post holing later. My working day will shift into the workshop where I have a mobile workbench to finish. Then there’s steam cleaning and a whole other batch of chores to do to prepare for building works.

Anything else? Ukraine you say? Where Russian troops were invited by the Luhansk and Donetsk separatist regimes last Monday? I’m not going to lose any sleep over it. Russia is supporting these breakaway areas to protest NATO’s eastward expansion and apparently there are people out there who still think the Russians are ‘communists’ for heavens sake. So we have to ask ourselves….

As for Canada. Well, the emergencies act was invoked, not ratified but implemented all the same. Bank accounts were (and still can be) frozen, goods and vehicles confiscated. Threats were made to take away pets and have them killed (Anyone remember “Vote liberal-or we’ll shoot your dog”) Children were going to be taken from their parents and put into ‘care’? Peaceful demonstrators were threatened with guns, attacked with stun grenades, ridden down and beaten with rifle butts? A member of the press shot in the leg with a tear gas round? All of these things happened. The video evidence is out there.

All these things done by a minority Canadian government who have about 50% of their membership affiliated with the neo-fascist World Economic Forum? Because ‘global warming is a real threat’ and other such risible nonsense? Because it is, allegedly. Even if the turn of the seasons carries on much as it has done for centuries, outside of political control.

All this talk of ‘threat’ is no more than posturing by weak narcissistic people trying to make themselves look valid. Especially that Trudy Blackface.

Now I have proper work to do.

Blue touchpaper lit

The directions on an individual firework used to read thusly; ‘Light blue touchpaper and retire’. What has just happened in Ottawa against peaceful protesters is such an event. A violent putdown of the pro-freedom anti mandate protests. Which was disproportionate.

Apart from snowball fights between friends there has been not one incidence of violence from the protesters, no ‘hate’ or anything that could be construed as such. Well apart from the two guys with confederate and Nazi flags on the first day. And they were only holding them up saying “Do you want this?” In a rhetorical fashion. A little in bad taste, but neither were Nazis or pro slavery. Anyone telling you otherwise is either misinformed or lying. This is information direct from the source, not the bought and paid for mainstream media.

The reports from the ground are of multiple arrests and injuries. One old woman with a walker on a mobility scooter ridden down by a Police Horse (And from the same picture a man ridden over and trampled in the same incident). That much I can say for certain. From what I can ascertain there’s a lot of ‘catch and release’ going on. A few political arrests, including the guy who was the head of Trudeau’s security detail, until he recently resigned in protest. A lot of ‘kettling’. No baton charges against protestors as at the anti-lockdown protests in the UK and elsewhere. But no violent rioters.

Weak politicians could not be bothered to go and at least talk to the protesters. Instead they’ve used legislation which was never intended for this kind of protest, but now a precedent has been set, the bar lowered. The banks have been complicit and they have pissed off a slice of ordinary working Canadians who are already talking about a national strike and writing to the Governor general to ask for a new Prime Minister, which somewhere in the region of a million Canadians have already done if some sources are to be believed.

FYI for any visiting Canadians wanting Trudeau removed: the Governor Generals email address is info@gg.ca. The heading should read ‘No Confidence Vote’ and be subtexted ‘for the attention of the Governor General, the Honourable Mary Simon’. In the body text it should also read; ‘This is a No-Confidence Vote against Justin Trudeau’. Include your real name and Province.

All this for a pandemic most sensible people agree has been over for months. Trudy Blackface could have followed the lead of other nations, ditched the mandates and restrictions, saying “Okay guys, we’re through this.” and accepted the applause of a grateful populace but no, he had to double down when there was no need to. Idiot.

This will not end well. Trudy Blackface has lit the blue touchpaper, there will be fireworks.

Stormy weather…

Ah, storm ‘Eunice’ and other alarumed divers. Mrs S chiding me for not panicking over the wind and sleet currently knocking over our garden chairs and stirring up the leaves in the yard. The trees seem to be holding up okay and I’m just keeping my head down. The roof is still on the house, but we’ve got insurance, propane heaters and a tarp on standby just in case, so mostly we’re okay.

No doubt this wee bit of stormy weather will be blamed by people who rarely get out of their nice, air conditioned and heated homes and offices on the mythical ‘global warming’. To which I respond; “Look, if the world is supposed to be getting warmer, why is it so freakin’ cold and windy?” No one has ever given a satisfactory answer to this question. A lot of pseudo-scientific blather yes, but not a proper cogent and empirical answer.

There is inadvertent comedy out there, like a kids trampoline being dumped on the nose of a train. Well, it beats the ‘wrong kind of snow’ or ‘leaves on the line’ as an excuse for being late to work, doesn’t it?

As an aside; for anyone interested in where all this weather is coming from, may I recommend windy.com, which shows that we get a lot of our inclement weather from the good ol’ US of A. The storm systems, as is usual for this time of year, are following the Gulf Stream up across the North Atlantic Drift right onto Ireland first. At this time of year they’re like buses on the North Circular, nothing for long while, then three turn up all at once. Which is what is happening right now.

So, anything new on the Canadian truckers protests? Well. the cops have arrested some ‘leaders’, but truckers as a whole are rugged individualists who don’t blindly follow diktats from others, so these ‘leaders’ being removed from the scene won’t make a lot of difference. However, ‘violence’ has broken out in the form of a snowball fight. Which has now been taken down. See below.

No doubt the Trudeau pantywaisters will now try to bring in the army to quell these ‘vicious thugs’. Although a little bird tells me that the army have already given the Trudeau regime a polite but firm “No.”

I have also heard that many Police officers (Including at least one RCMP, others have posted their own Youtube videos) are already unhappy about the orders being given to them by the politicians. If little Trudy does call out the Army, he may well find that they will not open fire on the truckers. After all, they weren’t called out when violent people were blocking the railroads and throwing burning pallets at trains as recently as February 2020.

Must be a Thursday

Moved some of my assets on the recommendation of my broker into the financial sector yesterday. That was before those idiots in Ottawa decided they could invoke the Emergencies Act and use those powers to freeze bank accounts and call those donating to the Truckers Convoy ‘terrorists’.

Well, in response the banks share price is nosediving, so I imagine that the people who own the politicians will already be making angry phone calls to Trudeau’s party hotline. The financial powers that uphold the Liberals will be growling at him. The attack dogs of financial lobbyists will be let off the leash, which leads me to one inescapable conclusion; Trudeau is officially toast. Turn the feckin eejit over because he’s done. He can call them ‘ists’ and ‘isms’ all he wants because his fate is already sealed.

The people who keep the financial heart of Canada beating will be very unhappy with their lapdog PM, mostly at being caught with their underwear around their ankles, so I’m expecting little Trudy Blackface to be thrown under the bus very shortly. He’s already an international joke, and now he’s hurting the banks, which is something no sane Prime Minister of any country should ever do.

Sure, I have lost money already. I estimate about 3% of the trade in total, but the markets will bounce back and in the meantime we can use this loss as a tax write off. Not that we need to, but it’s always good to reduce tax bills when they come due. I’ll make it all back and then some when this whole mess is over.

Closer to home we’ve just had a bit of a breeze. I was out pruning trees in it yesterday. Despite all the ‘Orange warning’ drama the weather was absolutely average for a Mayo February day. Today it’s all calm and the rain has mostly held off. Tonight and Friday is going to get a bit noisy, but the house is shielded by trees, and there’s nothing big enough to fall and damage any of the buildings.

So I’m just going to take a day off tomorrow, curl up like a Dormouse and wait for the storms, real and financial, to pass. Like I say, must be a Thursday, never quite got the hang of Thursdays.

A Wednesday Post

Talking to my broker yesterday. He seems to have drunk deep on the propaganda pushed out by the bought and paid for press of Canada and their Alice through the looking glass version of what the Truckers convoy is all about.

So what is it these revolting Truckers want? Do they want ‘insurrection’? Do they want to topple Trudeau? Well, why don’t we find out instead of making wild guesses? See the truckers own statement read out in the video below. Kudos to Dr Peterson.

All they want is an end to the restrictions and mandates, then they will gladly go home and get on with the business of living and helping rebuild Canada’s economy.

Typical Canadian language. A little too wet for my taste. Needs to be less conciliatory, or at least a little snappier. Anyhoo. We’ll see how long this stays up before it breaches someone’s warped idea of ‘community guidelines’. Link to Bitchute alternative here.

Personally I think the Trudeau Feds will raise Cain and seek to punish the Truck convoy members, even long after this is all over. The feds have already said they will freeze bank accounts and invalidate licences and insurance, which is a stupid move. Because that’s literally shooting the whole Canadian economy in the foot. This peasants rebellion will not go unpunished if the Trudeau Liberal government remains in power.

On a happier note I’m thinking Trudeau and cohorts will suffer the equivalent political fate of Richard II. Eventually deposed and figuratively left to starve to death (Or forced to retire, permanently). If there is any justice in this world.

Update: Regarding the ‘200 guns’ and ‘violent agitators’ narrative at the Coutts blockade. What is the actual truth? Did the RCMP actually search vehicles and find the firearms shown to the press? The convoy organisers say no searches and no discoveries.

A protest that ends in hugs and handshakes? Is that the act of ‘violent insurrectionists’? Like I say, this whole business has a through the looking glass air.

A Sunday post

Re: the Ottawa truck convoy. The Liberal government of Canada has sent the dogs in (Armed RCMP) to arrest unarmed peaceful protesters at the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ontario, Canada and Detroit, USA.

Both Federal and Provincial authorities have threatened to fine, jail and take away licences. But who will deliver the goods and move mountains if the authorities reduce the amount of people moving the goods? The truckers, both self employed and otherwise, could easily starve the big cities by simply hanging up their keys, turning off their phones and taking a two week leave of absence. Or a fortnights sick leave by announcing they’d all caught the dreaded lurgi and had to self isolate.

Do the Turd-brains in their clown parliament and local legislatures think they can bring in enough unskilled labour to move Canada’s goods? The freight trains alone can’t do it, the support infrastructure just isn’t there any more and all the delivery points are in big retail stores far from the tracks. There’s also a shortage of new drivers. All the old boomers who formed the greatest demographic of drivers have been retiring. It’s the same all over the world. UK, Ireland, Europe, wherever.

And driving a big rig is a dangerous business. If you’d driven the trans Canada as I have, you’d understand. The broad roads of Canada have their own particular hazards, from wayward wildlife to rainstorms that can wash out even major highways in minutes, whiteout blizzards and windstorms that can blow even smaller vehicles halfway across the highway. That’s without factoring in the ignorance and eccentricity of the average Canadian car driver.

A truck isn’t like a car, it doesn’t manoeuvre like a car, it takes longer to stop for one. it handles differently. So some guy from just off the boat with no experience won’t be able to do the job.

Besides, to get your heavy goods ticket takes a great deal of time and money, not to mention that Canadian licence transfer legislation effectively downgrades your licence if you move countries. Been there, done that, passed my driving test in BC to boot. Lost my light goods certification in the process. Same for Ireland. I’m only just getting my old UK driver certifications back next week after months of writing letters to Service Canada and the DVLA.

So yes, by all means strip the livelihoods from people instead of having the guts to go and actually talk to them. Hobble the Canadian economy. Then whine about driver programmes not being ‘inclusive’ enough because there aren’t enough transgender or feminist drivers. Complain about CO2 emissions then wonder why there’s a lot less on the supermarket shelves and prices are skyrocketing.

The Pandemic is over. It’s been over for some considerable time and there’s no excuse for not lifting all the restrictions. Right now. People want their lives back. They want their civil rights and pre-COVID freedoms back and there is no good reason not to grant this simple request.

Not that there ever was.

Update: and now for a short word from someone who is definitely not our sponsor.

A Friday post

Just a random video from the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.

Key phrase; “this is the least racist place I’ve ever been in.”

And “Open up how you get your information”

Words we should all take notice of.

Another text

Another day and another message saying I should have a ‘booster’ jab. Another text message I will be ignoring, apart from writing about the experience here. Seriously people? Has no-one else got the memo that you get SARS/COV-2 regardless of whether you’ve been vaccinated or not? Or that the current iteration (The “OHMIGOD!” variant)is like a heavy cold? So what’s the point?

On the family side of things; ‘North’ was allowed to return to work on Monday after a second negative test, so she’s a lot happier. ‘South’ is happier now the fabled land of Oz is opening up once more and my Canadian Investment broker is getting twitchy over this ‘Freedom Convoy’.

To be honest I’d be more worried about what Trudeau is going to do. Rumours have been circulating of Police snipers deployed against unarmed demonstrators. Police have been arbitrarily confiscating fuel containers from supporters of the protests, and harassing people without obvious grounds, which is a bit dodgy, legally speaking. Nova Scotia declaring that supporting the truck convoys is a ‘crime’ punishable by jail time. The premier of Saskatchewan declaring that the restrictions will be over by this coming weekend. Alberta now making conciliatory noises after Jason Kenney’s outburst. The situation is fast moving, fluid, and events are on a hair trigger.

I think Trudeau has painted himself into a political corner and he will be forever damned if the Police take armed action against unarmed and peaceful (Albeit noisy) truck convoy protests. However, more trucks are coming. The point is coming where he needs to call a general election or double down. Personally I think he’ll do the latter because the Liberals will be trashed at the ballot box.

The worst case scenario for him will be if an armed policeman shoots one of the children of the demonstrators, or ironically hits a counter demonstrator. Then all hell will cut loose. Canadians may have the reputation of being overly polite, but there is a point past which even they will not go.

Not that I’m worried myself here in Auld Ireland. The earnings on our investments have slowed to a trickle over the last two years, but what we lost we made back with a little bit more into the bargain last year, so we’re keeping ahead of the game. However, through not panicking we still have a modest cash reserve even after the various market hiccups. Many others have not been so fortunate, I hear a lot have taken a cold bath over the last two years.

Anyway, it’s not a bad old day up here in Mayo, so I’m off out to shift some foliage while the rain holds off. The world will have to do what it does and I will adjust my actions accordingly.

Update: Alberta will lift all restrictions shortly and a number of other provinces are following suit.

The UK has dropped all restrictions. Ireland are going to drop theirs shortly. They think it’s all over.

I think it is now.

Sympathy for the bedevilled

Came in from playing with my new toy, a slash hook, which is basically a rather vicious looking half-sickle on the end of a four foot haft, handy for clearing briars, brush and perhaps supporting one of those those peasants rebellions should one happen to be passing, to find Mrs S watching a video about Harry Windsor, one time HRH, rattling on about how good meditation is, and why everyone should be doing it, now.

It wasn’t what the one time prince was saying, but what I actually saw shocked me. It was the look in his eyes. I have rarely seen anyone not on the streets look so down and haunted. He obviously didn’t believe what he was saying and looked so lost, and very, very tired. Trust me, I once spent a couple of years training to be an actor and I know what a bad performance looks like, seen enough of those in the mirror.

His performance in the video was, well, lifeless. None of the spark that was so readily apparent in his younger self, just a hopeless yearning to be anywhere else doing something else. His was the face of a man so out of his depth he’d already drowned and been consigned to Davy Jones locker with the rest of the damned.

What happened? Well to cut things short; Prince Action Man married Princess Barbie and is now deeply unhappy being Prince (in name only now he’s lost the HRH) Ken.

He’ll learn when Princess Meggy Sparkle dumps him and walks off with the kids, as she will. Because she’s not a real Princess at all, she’s a fake Hollywood Media Princess who thought marrying a Prince would make her a real Princess, but reality and fantasy don’t work like that. Princesses need a lifetime of training in the right environment. So she will do the only thing she knows how to. And that will break Harry because he loves his children. More than he is broken already. One cannot help but feel sorry for the guy.

The great honking

As an expat Anglo-Canadian I’ve been taking an interest in the current Canadian Revolution led by the Truckers over the various mandates. Haven’t been watching any of the mainstream content, but trying to find first hand livestreams and perspectives to get to the core of what is going on.

How would I characterise the truckers blockade of Ottawa? Noisy but good natured. No ‘Nazis’ or ‘alt-right’ or ‘anti-vaxxers’, just ordinary Canadians of all ethnic and religious persuasions, no ‘white supremacy’ here, who have had quite enough and would like it to stop please.

Viva Frei’s livestreams are interesting if his content can be contrasted with the ‘reports’ from the mainstream. Protesters are being prevented from getting hotel rooms by the Government buying up all the rooms. No doubt with taxpayer dollar. Expedia cancelling hotel bookings in Ottawa. Facebook and GoFundMe have tried to cut support and funding. The Corporatists who own the politicians are panicking.

No graffiti, violence, vandalism, no ‘defacing’ of memorials or statues pulled from their plinths, piles of garbage or broken windows, unlike every far left ‘protest’, ever. No ‘mercenaries’ (Where the hell did that come from?). Just Canadian Truckers having a street party blockade in the icy cold of a Canadian midwinter. A bit noisy, but in the truckers own words, “The Honking stops at eight o’clock.” Not because anyone asked them to, but because the truckers understand that everyone has to sleep.

Yes, the stream is patchy, there are a few blank spots, but the content is telling. If you want to skip the long dull bits, go to 1:14 to 1:18 and 1:52 – 1:54 to see the protest signs outside Parliament. Interviewing lawyers providing charity legal support to the protesters at about the 2hr marker. Memes at 2:44. This is history in the making, video as a social document. And it’s only one of many.

There is an old trope that “The revolution will not be televised.” Which is true, it won’t be appearing on mainstream TV. It will be available on a video streaming platform near you. If YouTube falls over, then on Bitchute, Rumble or Odysee. The truth is out there. All you have to do is look.

My personal perspective is that I am making notes on these organisations who are being used as proxies against the pro-freedom protests with an intention to boycott. Not that I ever use them anyway, but I will make an effort not to use them in future and will remind any contacts of my decision and my reasons why.

Our civil rights have been trashed for no good reason. The great honking is part of trying to get them back.

Here are the truckers in their own words;

Tooling up

Yesterday my new power saw and electric belt sander turned up. Spare saw blades for cutting everything from OSB to mild steel and concrete. Spare sanding belts, coarse and fine for speed and finishing. Yes they cost me a few extra pennies, but for the scope they give me in building things like chicken coops and beehives, far more useful.

Mrs S is overjoyed that our new washing machine arrives today. I know there’s something a bit nostalgic about sitting in launderettes or washing your smalls in cheap hotel rooms road warrior style, but seriously, I will be happy to have my important little places cosseted by properly laundered cloth once more. The bath and washbasins can be returned to their proper function.

We’re also looking at a replacement oven, as the old one is so clagged up it isn’t funny. I haven’t dared to use it as the innards have a definitely unhygienic look to them and I’m not sure if all the heating elements work either. Makes cooking a bit more complicated than need be, but we’ll cope. We always do. No one is going to starve.

New bed has arrived and is far more comfy than the monster Ikea thing we bought with us from Canada. The one we can’t get fitted sheets for unless we shell out for new sets from a company in upstate New York. You see, it’s an old US ‘King’ size, which is seventy eight inches by seventy six, whereas the European ‘Super king’ size, the biggest sold outside North America, is only seventy two inches by seventy six. Which even Ikea have shrunk down to, hey they’re a Swedish company so of course it made sense to rationalise. So the new bed is a ‘super king’ for which we hope to obtain new sheets this week up at one of the ‘big box’ stores.

So, what’s happening back in the old country (Canada). Well the video clip from Indian news outlet WION (Via Tony Heller) asks the burning question; Where’s Trudeau?

Ignore the pro-vaccine sentiment in the middle, but they do have a right go at the substitute drama teachers disappearance the moment a proper domestic crisis arises. I’m sure the two faced little eejit won’t resign and force a General Election, the Liberals would get trashed.

Good to see elsewhere that these vaccine mandates are being dropped. They weren’t going to do anything anyway, given the efficacy of the mRNA ‘vaccines’ on offer. I think the problem is that even a relatively small mutation of the virus renders these treatments effectively useless, and besides, viruses mutate, it’s part of what they do. Which, in the rush to find a definitive answer, a lot of supposedly very clever people seem to have forgotten.
