Hello All,
Happy Wednesday - some good news to report, following up on yesterday’s post involving the Truckers for Freedom Convoy in Canada.
Saskatchewan is the first Canadian province to announce the scrapping of its provincial vaccination requirement and all COVID-19 restrictions - a major policy shift in light of the efforts of the Freedom Convoy!
From the True North article linked:
Saskatchewan has become the first province to announce it will be dropping all COVID-19 restrictions, including proof of vaccination requirements.
Premier Scott Moe made the announcement during a press conference Monday evening, stating restrictions would end on Feb. 28 and recognizing Canadians’ desire “for a return to normal.”
“Our caucus MLAs are hearing this from the people that they are talking to across the province and the people that they ultimately represent, and people are asking their government for a return to normal – a removal of public health restrictions – and we most certainly are looking at how we can do that in the weeks ahead here in Saskatchewan,” said Moe.
Furthermore, officials in Alberta and Ontario have signaled possible movements toward reopening - and the Premier of Quebec, Francois Legault, has nixed a plan to tax the unvaccinated, citing the divisions the widely controversial policy had deepend.
What a change in tune! However, the media would like you to know - this is definitely *not* because of the truckers. Kyle Becker pulls a screenshot from the Toronto Sun below:
So several Canadian provinces begin walking back their divisive COVID-19 restrictions and policies the week after 50,000 truckers descend on Ottawa to protest them… but we’re not supposed to connect those dots? (Meme Source)
And to follow-up on the accusations of violence and hateful-rhetoric against the truckers from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau - the video below again tells a different story - this time directly from a police officer!
There’s a whole lot of honking for freedom going on in the background, but my ears hear this:
Police Officer: “Doing great! Nothing but good. People are super good. The truckers have been having a good time. They’ve been getting their point across. And you know what, it’s a beautiful city that we’re in and… they can’t ignore all of this, right?”
I think millions across the world would agree. And based on the early returns from Canadian provinces as mentioned above, this police officer speaks the truth - officials CAN’T ignore this. Who could?
As much as I’d like to ride the positive train all the way through the end of this post - news from Australia is there to bring us down. WAY down… the caption below sums it up and it will make your stomach turn, along with the accompanying video.
I’ll be honest, I really struggled with that clip. The smiles and approving nods from people as they discuss keeping unvaccinated parents out of hospitals with their sick kids inside… horrendous. Separating sick kids from their parents - that’s how far the world has fallen into madness.
On the other hand, as the brave truckers of Canada have shown - when government pushes too far, sometimes the people push back (peacefully and effectively). For the sake of sick children and their parents in Western Australia, one can only hope that sanity and compassion soon return. I’ll pray that a future post confirms the scrapping of this evil policy someday SOON.
So much positive momentum, and then the story out of Australia. Brutal. My next post will end on a high note - that’s a guarantee. More to come - thanks for reading!
