Canada Is Run By Stupid, Unfeeling Autocrats

Please, prove me wrong:

Speaking to the media on Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had harsh words for Canadians who are not adhering to guidelines on social distancing in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

“If you choose to ignore that advice … you’re not just putting yourself at risk, you’re putting others at risk too,” he said in his daily press conference outside his Rideau Cottage residence in Ottawa.

... says the mental midget who hides in a taxpayer-funded cottage while people who scrape by can't leave their homes under severe penalty.

Did one forget to mention the grim milestone of nearly two thousand cases?

If only that could have been prevented somehow ...

The walking Tide Pod challenges aside, this comes from the  moron who wanted the economy - and I swear to God that he said this - "... from the heart outwards."

Who would put the fate of their nation into this twaddle-spewing @$$hole who, but a few weeks ago, wouldn't remove thugs from railroads?

Canadians.

That's who.



Let's remember these unsung heroes:

The House of Commons will convene Tuesday to deal with urgent business related to the novel coronavirus, according to a source in the prime minister’s office.

Let's not forget:

One thing that hasn’t been cancelled during this COVID-19 pandemic is a $2.5 million pay hike for Canadian MPs, Blacklock’s Reporter has revealed.

Unlike Ontario MPPs, who haven’t had a pay increase since the 2008-09 recession, federal politicians have a built in boost in compensation every April. 1.

 
It sucks if you're a prole, though:

In each province, however, the additional sick leave is unpaid and a new poll commissioned by Postmedia Inc. shows that 47 per cent of respondents say they can’t afford to miss work as they have no benefits or savings to fall back on.

“The income level of these people is simply not going to be there, so the question is how can governments respond to it,” said pollster John Wright.

Oh, it gets better:

Canada began to shut down on Monday.

“Quebec will be on hold for three weeks,” said Quebec Premier François Legault.

Both Quebec and Ontario announced that non-essential businesses would shut down by midnight Tuesday. Nunavut also announced that it would prohibit non-residents and non-essential travel in the territory as of Tuesday night.

The announcements came just hours after Nova Scotia put in place border controls for those coming into the province by sea, land and air, saying they would be stopped and told to self-isolate for 14 days. Also over the weekend, the Northwest Territories was the first jurisdiction to slam shut its borders to non-residents, after the first case of COVID-19 was diagnosed.

I can't but think that there were ways to prevent all of this ...




Because priorities:

The federal government says it will exempt temporary foreign workers from some COVID-19 travel restrictions because of their importance to the Canadian economy.

But if anyone steps outside of their own houses ...

But it was one the clinic felt necessary, Hacksel says, in order to ensure it can still provide care for people seeking abortions who cannot always afford to wait out a 14-day period of isolation.

“We do not see abortion services as elective,” she says. “They are an essential service, and our goal is to maintain operations while maintaining staff and client safety as much as possible.”

To try to make up for the lack of in-person support, Hacksel says the clinic has eased restrictions on using phones in the clinic (so long as they’re cleaned on site before being brought in). The clinic has also moved all post-abortion counselling services to the phones.

At Athena Health Centre in St. John’s, N.L., anyone seeking an abortion who has travelled outside of the province is being asked to wait until 14 days after their return to access the procedure.

However, a spokesperson said exceptions will “absolutely” be made for people who are near the end of the gestational cutoff. Similar to the Choice in Health Clinic in Toronto, Athena Health Centre is also limiting the waiting room to patients only.

Chinese-spread virus or no Chinese-spread virus,  babies have to be killed!




Who hired this woman?:

Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says chloroquine is just one of a "vast suite" of existing drugs being tested for use against the virus and that the medication should not be taken until those scientific tests are complete.

She says to do otherwise might not only be ineffective, it could also be dangerous, as all drugs come with side effects.

Canada is part of a massive global study started by the World Health Organization to look into the use chloroquine and other potential treatments for COVID-19.

Yes, about that:

Professor Didier Raoult from infection hospital l'Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire (IHU) Méditerranée Infection in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur), published a video explaining the trials on Monday March 16.

Professor Raoult is an infectious diseases specialist and head of the IHU Méditerranée Infection, who has been tasked by - and consulted by - the French government to research possible treatments of Covid-19.

He said that the first Covid-19 patients he had treated with the drug chloroquine had seen a rapid and effective speeding up of their healing process, and a sharp decrease in the amount of time they remained contagious.

Chloroquine - which is normally used mainly to prevent and treat malaria - was administered via the named drug, Plaquenil.

The treatment was offered to 24 patients, who were among the first to become infected in the south east of France, and who had voluntarily admitted themselves to hospital for the process.

Patients were given 600mcg per day for 10 days. They were closely monitored, as the drug can interact with other medication, and cause severe side effects in some cases.

Chloroquine has been available and effective for years.  The recent case in France has some some efficacy. Obviously, testing does need to be done, but I doubt that Dr. Tam's reservations are due to lack of evidence. After, she and Patty Hajdu have helped make this current crisis into the debacle it is now.

Speaking of whom:

Patty Hajdu says border controls in a pandemic can “create harm.”

Then, look at what Trudeau says in the last seconds of his announcement – three days later – on closing the border:


Trudeau says “these measures,” (AKA border controls) “will help save lives.”

Patti Hadju now says the federal government is considering a ban on interprovincial travel ...

(Sidebar: the useless government is not stopping there.)

Who is this incompetent fool, appointed by Trudeau to fill a gender quota? Here’s a letter Patty Hajdu’s own mother Barbara Hajdu wrote, when she could not longer stomach her own daughter’s dishonesty. https://t.co/7lX50l1oNY pic.twitter.com/123fUoqi3i

 Never send a graphics designer to do a medical professional's job.

 This is the government Canadians richly deserve.

If one needs to be told that a trust-fund @$$hole with no governing experience and whose favourite country is currently at fault for a crisis he is clearly incapable of handling, a graphics designer and one whose job requires her to actually know what she is talking about are the worst possible choices for helming a country, then there is no hope whatsoever.
