Everyone in my house got three doses..

I have no issue with vaccines.....I get a seasonal flu shot every year..

But, if there is another coronavirus, and another batch of rushed vaccines, my husband and I will politely decline.

Health care continues to be among the top two issues in every provincial election in every province in Canada..

Parties promise more money and usually deliver once elected, but it is not solving the worsening problems of public funded health care in Canada.

Why the 'great reset' failed to change the world
https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/goldstein-why-the-great-reset-failed-to-change-the-world

Anyone remember the "great reset" theory during the pandemic, which among other things was supposed to put the world on a permanent path to addressing climate change by dramatically lowering industrial greenhouse gas emissions?

Simply put, it never happened.

The great reset plan endlessly spouted by "progressive" politicians, the United Nations and think-tanks like the World Economic Forum was all the rage in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic four years ago, including by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who told a UN conference in September 2020 that: "This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset. This is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to re-imagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like ... climate change."

A year later, then-federal environment minister Jonathan Wilkinson told The Globe and Mail that because of the pandemic that was officially declared by the World Health Organization in March 2020, 2019 would be the last year that Canada's annual greenhouse gas emissions would increase and that for the next decade they would steadily decline.

"We will see year-on-year reductions — absolute reductions — starting in 2020 through to 2030," Wilkinson said. "We have high confidence that's actually going to be the case."

But that was then and this is now.

Last week, the authoritative Statistical Review of World Energy released its latest annual report, which described global energy use in 2023 as "a year of record highs in an energy hungry world" during which the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions hit record levels.

Emissions from energy rose by 2% compared to 2022, exceeding 40 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent for the first time.

Global fossil fuel consumption also reached a record high, up 1.5% from 2022, as did total primary energy consumption, up 2% from 2022, 0.6% above its 10-year average and over 5% above 2019 pre-COVID levels.

Fossil fuels — coal, oil and natural gas — continued to be the world's dominant energy sources, accounting for 81.5% of the global energy mix, only marginally down from 82% in 2022.

The story was much the same in Canada, where unlike the Statistical Review of World Energy the federal government reports our emissions two years after the fact, meaning the latest data available comes from 2022.

That said, despite Wilkinson's "high confidence" in 2021 that emissions by now would be on a steady, downward march heading toward 2030, Canada's 2022 emissions at 708 million tonnes were up 1.3% from 2021, when emissions at 698 million tonnes were up 1.8% from 2020 emissions (686 million tonnes).

The reason the great reset never happened is that it relied on the illogical belief that the global economic recession caused by the pandemic in 2020 was the beginning of a rapid, worldwide shift away from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power.

In reality, the only times global emissions have gone down significantly — but also temporarily — were during major recessions.

Prior to the pandemic in 2020, the last major global recession where emissions fell rapidly and dramatically was in 2008-09, set off by the subprime mortgage derivative scandal in the U.S. that eventually led to a global credit freeze.

Emissions fall significantly during major recessions because people have less money to buy goods and services, almost all of which are created using the fossil fuel industry.

But once the economy begins to recover, the demand for these goods and services, along with the need for more fossil fuel energy to produce them, increases.

Our prime minister still plans on raising the carbon tax four hundred percent over the next six years.

and watching people like LotusButtcrack support this shit, or at the very least turn a blind eye to it, after YEARS of pontificating about all the money spent on the "industrial war complex" at a period of time when there were no wars, just someone she didn't like personally, is a most disgusting display of absolute and untamed hypocrisy

In my opinion from the brief times that we posted together, Lotusbus seemed very angry..

I suppose total allegiance to any ideology can make a person unhappy.

I'm making spicy braised tofu with bok choy and garlic and rice tonight for meatless Monday.

I found a recipe for corn bread that I am going to try.....I hope my family likes it.

You're most certainly welcome.

Quote from: DKG on June 22, 2024, 10:47:51 AMWe know now the pandemic was a plandemic. It was not an accident originating in some wet market. Coming at it with this new knowledge, it would make sense that that a localized open concentration camp was a testing centre for the West.

Some elected members of Taiwan's legislative Yuan have openly stated that the CCP's plan all along was to have rich democracies reenact what they did in central China..

Taiwan didn't adopt some of the harsh restrictions countries like Australia did....schools remained open for example.....and it was because of the likely possibility that we would be falling into the trap China set.

That's not true caskur......I'm well aware that the COVID vaccines were not approved in the same way as vaccines in the past.

He said he would do it again......I hope he never gets out of what might be a woman's correctional facility.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on June 21, 2024, 11:08:05 AMChina will be Catus? Surely you jest.

How exactly so when they form a military alliance with Russia, Iran, North Korea, Turkey, Cuba, Venezuela and a host of other countries all secretly chomping at the bit to topple the world Aggressors. All fueled by the abundance of natural resources both Russia and Saudi Arabia has to offer. 

While we in the west focus on pronouns and ""teh environment" making ourselves weak and ripe for the picking

Oh, because we have those fancy little 6th gen F22 raptors which wont do us much good without the chips Taiwan used to supply before the Chinese blockade which we will not penetrate went into effect? Sure they can evade conventional weaponry 80% of the time. But their numbers are finite and without the fuel to run them or the chips to guide them they wont be of much use as these nations have BILLIONS of patriots ready to stand against us and a vast supply of firepower to use in the process. So 5 years into a conflict which hurts US 10X more than it hurts them what will our fleet of fancy 6th fighters look like? Assuming 95% of them haven't been shot down in a literal barrage of munitions fired upon them from thousands of sources

Shieet.. China has but to send an email and 90% of the pharmaceuticals westerners rely upon vanishes into thin air. 

And what do you think other emerging superpowers bordering or in close proximity to this newly formed alliance will do when it's time to pick a side? Do you think India and Pakistan will choose a crumbling empire that has some shirt lifting fairy nonce pretending to be a 5 star general?

wake the fuck up, puppet.

This is why I miss my kitty.....when I was petting her I never thought about the state of the world.

Ultimately it is a very sad story because we are talking about deeply mentally ill people mutilating their own bodies to try to be something they can never be.  The majority are also gay men with autism or women who were sexually abused as children  so talk about taking advantage of vulnerable people.  But that is what trans activists are.  They are predators preying upon the most vulnerable.

Why would anyone want to live like that for the remainder of their life.

Quote from: Lokmar on June 19, 2024, 03:17:57 PMYep, and there was a very infamous one about a guy who died in a motorcycle accident that tested positive for COVID so it was labeled as COVID related. Fucking scamdemic!

I read about that one.....we falsely blamed COVID for some deaths too.

A very important detail that most people are unaware of..

The vaccines were rushed through clinical trials and that is why they don't have the efficacy of vaccines that weren't warp speed.
