    the watcher got a reaction from Stickem in 2021 (??) CFL Season   
    Governments have the right to order you to go to France Live in a trench up to your knees in fetid water, surrounded by dead comrades and horses and crawling with millions of rats while constantly being pounded by artillery . Then climb out of that muck hole and run straight at a machine gun. But apparently in the mind of some they can't make you wear a mask or get a little prick in the arm. My great uncle that died like that, and my other great uncle that lived like that at 14 years old would have something to say to them. As would my uncle who burned to death in a bomber 25 years later.  Yet we have all these people who think wearing a mask to to big of a sacrifice to make.  It makes me sick.

    I instruct a martial arts class 2 x a week. My adults have bailed for now so I have a bunch of kids left. We are mask on before entry and the kids don't balk at all. I work them pretty hard at times and you can  tell they get pretty heated but they are fine with it. Occasionally a kid will have a naked nose but I just tell them to pull it up. They are tougher than all these whining anti- maskers and they are just a bunch of kids. It makes it hard for me to deal with the whiners.

    The restrictions make it clear the economy is held above all else including family connections and mental & physical health. Increasing restrictions does not bother me personally much. Due to having a newborn and an autoimmune condition, my family has held ourselves to more restrictive standards than governmental restrictions for the past year. Its sucked, but hopefully it will change soon. It would be nice if the restrictions made sense and showed compassion for anything other than the almighty dollar.
    Its also really unfortunate about the idiots at the rallies and nothing being done about enforcement. They should all be fined with the fine going to support small businesses. They claim their rally is to support small businesses, so they should happily pay the fine.

    I'm going to be coaching my kid's softball team and I've already put in the email to the parents that masks will be mandatory at all times on my team (even though the return to play and public health rules allow them to now wear them in the field).  If a kid or parent has an issue with that, then they don't have to be on my team.

    At this point they should of come out in clown costumes, nobody is listening and nobody is adhering, look at all the traffic on the street during non rush hour times, people don't care, they have had enough with the double speak, they haven't got it right the first or second time and this time will be the same, again get vaccinated take care of yourselves, continue to wear a mask and stay away from idiots

    I'm surprised they didn't do more.I was expecting tighter controls. I'm disappointed there isn't more on enforcement. Those who are not following the rules now will continue not to. Those that attended the rally will continue to do so. The nutbar that was heading that up will continue to run  his destructive sideshow. This news conference was pointless.

    The comparison to pre- war Germany gets scarier all the time. The Germans weren't  an evil people. They were going through hard times in the depression . People were desperate for answers and solutions . They were given a target, some people to blame it on. They were promised jobs and a return of their national pride.  At first some restrictions on the people causing problems for their society seemed reasonable . Bit by bit the horrors that followed became the normal. At some point previously reasonable people looked down the barrel of a gun at a 5 year old child.......and squeezed the trigger.  I have studied enough history to know it can happen again. The world worries me now.

    People haven't been adhering to the restrictions the last few months and they wont follow these ones either, as this point people getting vaccinated is the only way that will get us back to  a new normal what ever that will be.

    Jenks for Premier.  The rally could have been stopped and thst move would be supported by the vast majority  of the province. The trouble is it takes a big set of kahunas to do it and that seems to be sadly lacking.

    There was plenty of time to do something about this before it got to the size it did. The lack of proactive enforcement is just disturbing. There should have been a team of people that greeted Chris Sky at the airport and escorted him to an isolation facility. There could have been a couple cruisers on the lawn at The Forks broadcasting the message that it was an illegal gathering and to disperse or be ticketed. Child and Family Services should have been on site handing out notices to parents that their parental competency was not under official review. 
    I have been very quiet and purposely not criticized the experts as I know they have information we don't. I can no longer sit here and watch people destroy what chance we had at a normal summer.

    The demonstration at the Forks wasn't so big that it couldn't have been controlled.  All the police would have had to do was "kettle" them and let them out one at a time while they handed out citations and arrested the nut from Saskatchewan. I suspect that if it had been an ANTIFA demonstration the response would have been much different.

    That is great to here. Early last week Dr Joss Reimer was tweeting that they still had appointments for that same afternoon, pleading for people to call and make appointment. 
    I am greatly embarrassed to be from Winnipeg for the first time in many many years.
    I like the enthusiasm and public shaming may be the answer but for these idiots they would wear it as a badge of pride. Oh how I wish that somoene started a grass fire and the fire department had to show up and hose the all down...

    They should start off today's press conference by listing the names and addresses of everyone that attended the Forks rally yesterday. Then after they've announced the new restrictions they can say "If you want to complain about this, go see those people".

    They MAY have been there taking photos. Which does nothing to deter people from joining the movement. The whole thing is embarrassing as hell. Both the people there and our willingness to either stop it before it happened or to break it up.Not a day I'm proud to be Manitoban.
