Don’t worry be happy?

There is a new survey that shows Canadians and Americans are growing increasingly unhappy. “What’s happened in Canada and the United States is that over the past few years, those under 30 have become much less happy than they were 10 or a dozen years ago,” In Canada the RCMP are worried that unhappiness from […]

It wasn’t Stupidity, it was a crime

When the lockdowns were first announced I knew it was stupid but I was not immediately alarmed.  I thought that it was just stupid people doing stupid things out of fear.  Even with my already low opinion of government, I was confident that in a short time cooler heads would prevail.  My confidence was statistically […]

It is a shame we are governed by fools

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread Alexander Pope wrote that or some derivation of it in 1711.  He must have been some sort of Psychic because he managed to sum up COVID mitigation measures 308 years before the virus was even released from the lab.  Our foolish governments dove headlong into COVID, doing […]

Say no to stupidity

Anyone who took the time to watch the documentary I linked yesterday, The Cold Truth, is probably asking themselves similar questions.  How did we allow a fringe theory that has never matched the data dominate government policy?  Why have we accepted tax increases and higher energy bills in a futile effort to alter the weather?  […]

The only thing certain is that government is evil

There is an excellent climate change documentary that is being re-posted everywhere.  I would encourage everyone to watch it.  The people who made it have done a better job of explaining climate change uncertainty than anything I have seen before.  The explanations are clear and even though their experts are renowned scientists you don’t need […]

It is not over because it was never about a virus

I recently told friends I have noticed something interesting about social media.  Comments about celebrities get a lot of engagement; comments about COVID get relatively little engagement.  Either people care little about what happened during COVID or they just want to put it behind them.  Either of these explanations is very troubling to me. Ignoring […]

Legal illegality

I came across this excellent article a few days ago.  The article is a great summary of how public health authorities got absolutely everything wrong during the pandemic.  Everything they discuss in the document can be found on this blog including this very important point. Granting public health agencies these extraordinary powers was a major […]

Of course they knew

One theme that re-occurs regularly on my blog is that they knew.  The people who dictated our pandemic response knew what they were doing was wrong and they did it anyway.  I came to this conclusion long ago based on one simple premise; it is simply not possible for everyone in government to be that […]

Slaying Canadian COVID dragons

Canadians are not that smart, or if you want to be more charitable you could say that they are unaware.  Whether it is lack of intelligence or willful ignorance it does not matter.  The net result is the same.  Canadians make incredibly poor decisions and the worst decision of all time is Justin Trudeau.  Canadians […]

Life lessons from COVID

The COVID scamdemic was one of our government’s most successful programs of all time.  In 4 short years senior politicians and Bureaucrats transferred billions of dollars from ordinary people into the hands of their wealthy friends. I have no doubt that a significant portion of the stolen tax money was also handed back to the […]
