Again, humour is a beautiful teaching tool.

In a nutshell, this is the issue for all our woes.
As the Verve would say:
Tryna make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die.

This reminded me of when Kentucky added a roundabout and hilarity ensued. 
 

I see no difference between ignoring health restrictions, doctors, infectious disease specialists, pandemic specialists,  ......on Covid and me deciding there is no problem with me running stop signs and red lights. I'm a great driver, I have my class 1, why should they be able restrict my freedoms. I'm pretty sure I heard a guy on Facebook said traffic would run much better that way.
Some opinions make no sense. If that was my real opinion  it doesn't deserve respect. We have rules and regulations to help our society run, for the good of everyone. We have enforcement to enact those rules because some people don't get that.

Yeah it was Barker...thats the reason this team was so tough...well balanced so they can go either way...and add that to a defence that allows less than what..14 points in a game, and takes the least amount of penalties, and best turnover ratio..well u go 11-1 in games that mattered and the full team was playing

Prolix is good because he will sometimes try to explain things a little more to the fans on the mike. Sadly his accent can cause unintentional hilarity. Like the game in Calgary where every time there was a tackle eligible play the player was required to report and the official had to announce it on the PA so the defence could not be tricked. After about five versions of “Calgary number ticksty tree is illegible on display” Bob Irving actually said “Poor Andre” on the broadcast, and the league changed the rule where it did not need to be broadcast any more. 
I liked the Proulx game where an Alouette got a little too exuberant after a sack and in his celebration bowled over Andre and then looked worried he was going to be flagged. Proulx pops up and says “There is no penalty on the play, it was an accident” barely containing his laughter. 
Judging by this thread I found not all Ticat fans may be as pleased with the referee selection. Some feel he has an anti-Hamilton bias.

**** did our DL just beat the piss out of them.
 

My favourite objectionable conduct penalty of all time.
Dirt bag Dylan Wynn twists Streveler's ankle, Streveler gets up and screams in his face. 
Harris busts off a 20 yard run the next play. Bailey gets robbed of a TD in what was 100% more a catch than Williams' "catch" Sunday.
I can't ******* wait till Sunday! 

Jake Ireland was an equal opportunity referee. In other words, he screwed every team equally. He had no favourites. He was just a brutal ref. So, he retired & they rewarded him by making him a replay official so he could keep screwing every team equally.

It's gone beyond sanity. I was an avid hunter for most of my life. We lived off what I shot and grew for many many years. ( and without hydro and running water for a while lol )  I was part of a Manitoba champion shooting team as a  teen.   I also considered myself a Christian for many years. So I quess I believe I am qualified to say ...... Christmas and machines designed to kill humans only. Lol, what would Jesus say ? They are all F-ing nuts!

If these same people who are comparing health restrictions to Nazi Germany thought that comparing them to the Smurfs would agitate their targets, they would do that instead. 

I look forward to the day the truth seekers and freedom fighters say "I think that's enough calling people nazis on twitter for today, maybe now I'll go sit down with a doctor or nurse and get another opinion" but I suspect the sun will actually set in the East first

Anti-vaxxers are attacking both businesses and government. The public health orders are being labelled as "authoritarian, tyrannical, fascist" by these uneducated, overly entitled narcissists who only care about themselves. 
The "both sides" argument is such flimsy, ridiculous, and fallacious argument (look up the the paradox of tolerance - https://academy4sc.org/video/paradox-of-tolerance-to-tolerate-or-not-to-tolerate/).
There aren't two sides to this pandemic, anyway. There are those who understand science and act on it, and there are those who are simply ignorant and wrong. The latter should not be tolerated. Full stop.
People who have done their due diligence and their part for the good of all are tired of those who have exacerbated this crisis with their denial, deflection, and sometimes antisocial behaviour, perpetuating the hardship for everyone. They can't even see past their own noses. So, how do you reason with people like that?
And attempting to understand a person who chooses not to get vaccinated with the "medical freedom" or "my body, my choice" narrative is a futile endeavour, as there is no rational, objective, or scientific justification for either. They're often the same ones who claim, albeit erroneously, that rights and freedoms are being taken away or trampled on, but there's no evidence for that, either.
"The sky is green."
"The Earth is the centre of the solar system."
"Vaccines cause autism."
"The pandemic is a hoax."
"Bill Gates murders children."
"Justin Trudeau is a communist."
"5G causes health problems."
"The Holocaust didn't happen."
"The moon landings were fake."
"The Earth is flat."
Facts do not support any of those arguments. Not one. And those who choose to agree with such nonsensical claims without a shred of real, hard, verifiable evidence cause irreparable harm in doing so, especially when they have influence in society and can easily spread their ignorant messages on the internet and social media to others without accountability.
The world would be a much better place if people actually chose to be informed and educated, and put in the effort of understanding the world around them. Rather than fall prey to misinformation on Facebook or YouTube.
There is no respectful dialogue to be had with conspiracy theorists or the willfully misinformed.

What experiment ? This technology is over 10 years old. The testing done on these vaccines was extremely thorough.  More so than many other vaccines. The reason it was so quick was because drug companies with the aid of governments threw ALL their research,  money , effort and energy at it.  And the proof is right here, 5.6 billion jabs last time I checked and very , very few side effects. And that is as massive a test as could exist. It's damn near miraculous. What is experimental is goofy internet cures like hydroxy chloroquine and Ivermectine to fight something they weren't designed for . 
As far as finding A doctor who doesn't support vaccines ,of course you can. There is something like 10 million Doctors in the world. There is a Doctor who told a Senate committee in the US that vaccines were making people magnetic. Every barrel of apples has a few that are going off.
Edit : One more add. Masking and vaccines aren't just about me.They also are about me not spreading Covid to others. If we all get vaccinated and take what precautions we can it gives vulnerable people a better chance to avoid it. It also allows our society to return to something more akin to normal.

One of the most bizarre things I see is people making a connection that vaccines aren't effective because we need boosters... like seriously? We get multiple doses of pretty much every vaccine! My kids get like 3 rounds of shots by the time they're a year old! 
There are a lot of people out there that say things that "seem to make sense" problem is that it doesn't actually make sense scientifically. Trust the vast majority of experts on this stuff not the crackpots. Vaccines work and they work damned well. Yes variants might mean we need annual boosters not unlike a flu shot... but covid vaccines are many times more effective than  flu shots and it is such a nothing needle I don't know why people are so opposed to them.

We have had two years of continuous messages about the severity of the pandemic and the necessity of ALL of us getting vaccinated to protect not only ourselves and our loved ones, but also to protect members of our communities who cannot be vaccinated for legitimate reasons.  Apart from a few utterly bizarre people, there is no debate. Those who have chosen to ignore hard science and history are so rigid in their ideation, that literally nothing will change them.
