One of the best things about having a podcast is hearing first-hand strategies from our enterprising listeners and supporters as they outplay Prime Minister Trudeau’s absurd rules mandating vaccines for domestic and foreign travel on airplanes and trains. I confess, I’m paying a personal cost this weekend, missing my brilliant son’s graduation from Uni because our prime minister has a vaccine fetish. Is there a 12-step program for that? Is he powerless over Pfizer?
Many trapped Canadians make a run for the American border in their cars. Once there, they circumvent Joe Biden’s own COVID mania the old fashioned way — through human connection with sympathetic US immigration staff willing to wave them through. This is often accompanied by a friendly but embarrassed shoulder shrug and a have a nice trip! to relieved travellers who then step on the gas. Oddly, America’s southern border has at times been a festival of jab-free migrants from who-knows-where because — hey! science.
This from a listener:
Decided to pack the car and see if we can get through. Had several houses we could rent through a rental agency on XXX Island. Got to the border in XXX and they asked a few questions about what we were bringing in but no vax questions. Then they cordially wished us a happy, wonderful time in Florida. Early on in our crossing Covid theatre seemed to disappear. Truck stops, rest areas restaurants etc .
A recent vote in Canada’s parliament on a motion to scrap the mandates failed just as resoundingly as the vaccines themselves. We are now a medical outlier. Even spike-happy Israel has thrown in the towel and does not require vaccination. But JT, our petulant, globalist prince is dug in and serves only his higher power – the one who sounds like Colonel Klink and dresses like Darth Vader.
Most of Canada’s lefty political elite, which is to say two of three political parties and virtually all media — headed for the hills on this issue because it is sorta, kinda, connected to the freedom truckers who they hate. Freedom protestors are still digging out from under a dumpster of garbage propaganda spread by media and MPs who support mandates and who are protected from libel and slander claims if their smears are invoked in our sacred halls of our parliament.
In a sad new parlour game, exit points for drivers are bandied about like hockey cards by C-19 heretics exchanging information about friendly border guards. I’ll trade you two FXXX for three SXXX and one BXXX. (Ontario small town crossings)
Meanwhile, JT refuses to provide the (non existent) underpinning science that keeps us trapped in our strung out, colder version of Hotel California - you can never leave. And if you do, getting back in could be hell. The question right now is, why would anyone want to? The couple above returned to what they deemed Leviathan bureaucratic punishment and quarantine despite offering negative tests.
Such a shock after seeing how life is south of the border . It was a sick feeling coming back to our own country, as if we were coming back to east Berlin voluntarily.
Trish, this is how it felt to go to South Carolina or Florida in 2020. It felt naughty, but wonderful! You forget about masks completely until you run into an odd ball business worried. I was stopped once and told I had to keep my mask on until I was on the beach🤪. What? We love Canada and truly miss out annual visits there! Keep up the good work!
Hi Trish! I so often think of contacting you, so I thought I'd do so here - to thank you for the voice of sanity you provide. I've been listening to your podcast for about a year now, and it never fails to provide quality reporting, commentary, and caring!
One thing I'd like to add to the conversations as a consideration: we so often speak of our 'leaders' as having made mistakes - particularly in how they handled Covid. But I do not think that is the case. I think they are doing exactly what they have always intended, science be damned, to facilitate their desire to herd us into the global tyranny - not making mistakes based on bad advice or science, but intentional implementing policies of control. The cognitive dissonance created from having to follow orders when they don't make any medical sense is part of the package - a desired outcome which enables even more control.
Facts and sense don't matter to these people. Only control matters. They've demonstrated that perfectly during Covid, no more so than in your country. JT is doing exactly as he has been instructed by his masters - the global power elite who are his actual constituency. These people are convinced that the quantity and quality of people in the world are the problem, and that peace, community, abundance, and prosperity are not possible. They're dead wrong.
With gratitude from sunny FL.
