    To be fair, ANTIFA has had tons of military members. They fought the Nazis in WW2. 

    I was having a conversation with a young man who was really ragging on Antifa and I pointed out to him that both his grandfather and my uncle were antifa in the 1940s. He didn't seem to appreciate my observation.

    I'm just going to throw this in for people to think on:

    I read a book on the Great Depression this winter and alot who went through it talked about how everyone was depressed, had given up hope ,saw no future, no way out.It was a general feeling throughout the hard hit west .

    It has occurred to me that right now we are suffering an equal mass psychosis ( not sure if that's the right word ) But this time it's anger.  Left is furious with right, right with left, vaccinated  angry with unvaccinated  and vise versa, non maskers vs masked, ......It seems to be in every country, every where. I find myself thinking " You deserve  it if you die unvaccinated from covid " which is stupid because I know some real good people who aren't  vaccinated. Where does entire angry societies take us ? I don't know but the BEST case scenario is now where.

    I'm double-vaxxed myself, as are many other Hutterites that I know, but you are absolutely right about a good number of Hutterite colonies. But there only 10 000 Hutterites in Manitoba, quite widely dispersed.  I don't know if we'd make a significant statistical difference in any municipality. For example, Cartier has far more Hutterite colonies than North Norfolk, and it is not on the low vax rate list.

    Thats good to hear. The RM beside me may be an anomaly as it has one small town around 4 or 500 people and multiple colonies that aren't vaxxed. Im glad to hear many Hutterites are getting vaxxed. We have a close association with the closest one to us. They are awesome people and I've been worried about them as they have chosen not to get the jab .

    After Potage La Prairie and before Carberry for North Norfolk, and the Morden/ Winkler area for Stanley

    Stanley's low numbers are legitimate but I wonder about North Norfolk. There are some municipalities whose Vaccination rates show as low are due to the number of Hutterite colonies . The Colonies I know are not getting vaccinated and I doubt any are. While the percentage shown is true it's not quite indicative of the communities in those RMs. In the RM beside me the Colonies owned %60 of the land 10 years ago and it would be much higher now. Population wise it would be close to close to %50 now as a wild guess. I'm not sure about North Norfolk but I've been surprised about their numbers all along.

    Sometimes the lack of self awareness when trying to break everything down to the plain “religion” argument as your default astounds me. 

    BTW, nice clothes, glasses, make up, computer, smart phone (for those missing the irony). 

    Now, I'm not one that has ever been prone to public nudity but I'm pretty sure if I was at that meeting I would have jumped up, yelled  " You are right " and stripped completely naked.
