I felt far more under seige by the federal and provincial mandates than by any of the related protests.
siege? what trying to protect the public from a pandemic is "under siege" but armed organized groups taking over border crossing and the ambassador bridge isn't a "siege"? have i got that right sport-o or do I need to break out the crayons and sock puppets ffs?
"Trying to protect the public" aka limiting what people can and can't do. We're adults, we can protect ourselves.
really? I highly doubt you followed any of the health guidelines and probably chaffed at them "muy freedumbs" etc. I lost two elderly family members to jackasses like you , specifically my cousin who went somewhere where the HA said don't, scoffed, caught covid symptomatic, came home, infected my aunt and uncle (both late 70's early 80s for sure) and killed them withing a couple of weeks. he still goes to therapy. So no..i don't believe you can "protect yourselves" especially if you scoff at expert direction, that just makes you an idiot, but don't worry you are legion because basically idiocrasy was prescient not a comedy.
Sorry your cousin is a fucking moron, but I think it's fucking absurd to curtial the freedoms of everyone because of the lowest common denominator of people.
Perhaps consider there's a lot of space between draconian government restrictions and acting like a complete buffoon.
