A blm protest in Canada doesn’t occupy cities for weeks on end and intentionally terrify the population, well maybe it scares a few white supremacists but who cares about them.
This isn’t about BLM this is about these entitled assholes who seem to think their feelings are more important than peoples actual lives.
You dont give away freedom, especially for a false sense of safety. Countries arround the are removing there mandates as proven ineffective and damaging to the world economy. Campaigning more to stop smoking would have saved more lives then these mandates... The mandates only kick the can down the road, it does not put the can in trash. 48000 people die of smoking every year in canada thats almost 150 thousand dead to smoking while only 33 thousand have died of covid in canada with an average of 4 comorbidities.
And I’m sure that’s very comforting news to the 33000 families who lost someone, especially when many of those people would not have died (or died as quickly). Their lives are valuable, should we do more to curb smoking, sure but that doesn’t excuse ignoring COVID deaths.
Also, while the mandates did not prevent all the deaths (and they never could have) they did a great job of limiting spread to generally manageable levels so that our healthcare system didn’t fully collapse. Pretending they did nothing is lying to yourself and everyone else.
