If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Covid, the "lockdowns" etc.

You're already seeing this ridiculous attempt to ass-covering in Canada, where several Premiers have announced, in the wake of the Trucker's Revolt, that they will lift the vaccine mandates, lockdowns and mask mandates, etc.

Jason Kenney, the "Conservative" premier of Alberta, made an announcement that sounded incredibly surreal. He was pretending:
a) that he was deeply opposed to the massive draconian mandates in the province of Alberta... the ones that HE and HE ALONE was responsible for instituting and enforcing, up to and including the arrest and imprisonment of pastors and grandmas who tried to object.
b) That he's lifting these regulations because that was always the plan and it has nothing to do with the truckers, but who he supports, in spite of his also trying to arrest them.

Within six months, every single conservative/republican who had gone all-in on Covid tyranny will be pretending that they had been the greatest hero of the resistance

Yep.  It is much like the old joke from the fifties, that the number of members of the French Resistance ballooned post-war.  The number of folks who were "always suspicious" of the pandemic measures will somehow be much larger after the stupidity of them is undeniably obvious...

And incidentally, regarding "from covid" vs. "with covid":
He pointed to an "Incidental Covid-19 Report" published this week by the Massachusetts Department of Health, which showed 49.5% of the state's Covid-19 patients were hospitalized due to "primary" Covid infections, while 50.5% patients tested positive after being hospitalized for other reasons.

All these cunts realize that people have had enough of their bullshit to the point they're willing to drag them kicking and screaming out into the streets.  They're just trying to ensure that their head doesn't end up tumbling into a basket after being lopped off by the crowd - given half a chance, they'd still be happy to parrot the mandate bullshit.

Read the goddamn publication date. And if it hasn't moved from test tube to human clinical trials, then it's not worth crowing about.

The backpedalling is strong here in British Columbia as well.  Just last week they revealed that 60% of "hopsitalizations with covid" were actually in hospital for something else and happened to test positive sometime during their visit.

Our benevolent fascist dictators are telling us that they "might" let us have freedom by our upcoming long weekend.  This after they promised last year that we'd be free after 70% double vaxxed -- we currently sit at 84% of everyone 5+ years old being double jabbed.

  I think what should be amplified, and EVERY Canadian, agree or disagree with the Trucker thing, is the actions the Substitute Drama Teacher took.  HE FLED THE FUCKING COUNTRY.  I have NEVER seen a better example of a man who should not be in charge of fucking anything, maybe serving ice cream or french fries, play out right in front of everyone.

Don't you mean he fled to the country? As far as I know he hasn't left Canada. I'm not sure he even could travel abroad, since he's got Covid.

   His first move was to go to his hide out country house in the USA wasnt it?   I remember the autists at 4 chan pinpointed his location when he gave an address from there.  Now I am sure that was not said or confirmed in the media, and IF he did not leave the country, so be it, fleeing the city is almost as bad, but at this point, I am more inclined to believe the autists at 4 chan than media reports.

  LOL I am spreading rumors possibly, but, I am not so sure the cowardice of that queef is any less one way or the other.  Sorry if I jumped the shark on his staying in or out of Canada as he completely fled his office and hid in a secret site instead.

Huh? What hideout country house in the U.S.? Even if he had one, he shouldn't be able to enter the U.S. with an active case of Covid. You'd think.

Anyway, he is reportedly in an undisclosed location "in the National Capital Region." Almost certainly, that means he is at the PMs country retreat at Harrington Lake, which is secure, and considered part of the National Capital Region.

  Oh I believe you on where he is, what I doubt is that political class people have to follow any rules at all regarding movements and Covid.

Maybe. They may be able to get away with things the rest of us can't. At least some of the time. cough Boris cough. I have no real insights there

  May?  From insider trading to never wearing a mask and getting hair done during a lockdown I think they can certainly do and get away with things the rest of us can not.  That is obvious to casual observers, as you point out.  If they are so cavalier about things they screech about constantly, I ask myself what else to they get away with that no one can really know about (well since the institutions of the press and investigation are completely compromised in their favor)?
