There are many elderly people in long term care facilities who are now alone and isolated, denied access to their children, grand children and other loved ones.
We say we're protecting them, but in fact we're imprisoning them and fooling ourselves.

It was dismaying to hear my Democrat colleagues today continue their totalitarian calls for #BigTech to silence dissent and censor more voices. That is very dangerous if we want to maintain a free and fair democracy and free speech.
Freedom for my Grandpa
By Benjamin Blake
What about my freedom?
Let me out this cell
I'd rather be at risk
Then stuck inside this hell

My Story:
My grandpa is 81 years old and currently in a long term care facility. He can hardly speak now because he has PSP.
As a family we call to tell him that we love him and are thinking of him, but except for my father, none of us have been able to see him in almost a year
@Canadanurse @brrittannyh Even if that wasn't the case, your definition of "peaceful" is flawed.
Peaceful means non-violent.
No one (in their right mind) would call "spending time with someone who MIGHT be sick" violence.
In fact, before all this insanity happened most people called that compassion
@Canadanurse @brrittannyh Uhh noo... That was a copy/paste. It's 1E of the Canadian Bill of Rights (1960).
Perhaps you were reading a different document?
@sjvandersluis @brrittannyh To be nonpartisan is to look at all sides of an argument, and to test each one equally using logical and factual thinking beforing making a decision.
This is opposed to party loyalism which encourages people to willfully ignore sound logic in favour of towing the party line.
@carol_nasvytis @brrittannyh We still live in a relatively free country so you are perfectly able to hold to that belief.
I'm just glad that the forefathers of Canada didn't share your belief as we would have a very different country today if they had of.
@papercandie @brrittannyh "Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God..."
- Canadian charter of rights and freedoms (1982)
@papercandie @brrittannyh Well that's certainly not what Canada's forefathers believed.
"...the Canadian Nation is founded upon the principles that acknowledge the supremacy of God..."
- Canadian Bill of Rights (1960)
@papercandie @brrittannyh If your Canadian I recommend you take a look at the rights and freedoms that innumerable Canadian soldiers died to protect.

After that I recommend you read some war history. Hopefully it will help cure you of your mockery.
Lockdown advocates:
If Alberta's death count was above 400 (~0.01%) and removing the freedom to gather was not completely totalitarian and against the Bill of Rights which acknowledges the God given "freedom of assembly and association"...
You'd still be crazy
