To all those who follow me because of @xx_xyathletics and who are now telling me to stop talking about covid...
Let me just explain a few things -- and why that isn't going to happen.
The only reason I'm even active on @X is because of covid. The only reason I have any following at all is because of covid.
Why? Because I objected to school closures and lockdowns from day 1. I lost my career, my city, pretty much all of my friends. Because I said closed schools, closed playgrounds, and masking were harming our kids.
We all suffered the most egregious violations of our civil liberties imaginable during lockdowns. I will never understand why people don't care and want to just pretend it never happened.
We couldn't leave our homes. Literally. We were told we couldn't see family, celebrate the holidays. We couldn't move about freely. We were censored. We couldn't gather or protest (unless it was for BLM, then it was ok). People couldn't go to church or AA meetings. For years!
Two year olds were forced to wear masks for hours a day. They suffered speech and developmental delays. That continue to this day.
Public school students in blue states were kept out of full time school for a year and a half. While their private school peers attended school and played sports. The most vulnerable children were harmed the most.
People couldn't work. 27M people lost their jobs in 2020. 27M!!
People couldn't visit loved ones in the hospital. People died alone. Women gave birth alone.
People were arrested for surfing. In the ocean - alone.
The world shut down. Supply chains stopped. That initiated the inflation we still are struggling to beat back.
I've been a covid dissident since March 2020. Children were harmed. They are still suffering from learning loss and the emotional impact of isolation and halted development. For some, the course of their lives was altered forever. They dropped out of school. Or fell behind and never caught up. Disengaged and never re-engaged. Drugs. Eating disorders. Suicidal ideation. Attempted suicide. Oh and the by way, the trans madness accelerated during lockdowns. Why? Isolation, terminal on-line-ness, depression, anxiety, all of it. Caused by lockdowns.
This is not something I will forgive. Or forget. You can't treat kids like prisoners and expect them to be ok (that is quote from a parent in Generation Covid - a parent who lost his child to suicide in 2021.)
I started making this documentary in 2022, and followed children and families who were harmed for 2 full years. It's called Generation-Covid.
Don't look away.
@BGatesIsaPyscho@grok Without seeing the orientation of the object how know the rectangle is on top of the sphere shapeโฆit could be mounted on the side. Also you would need a second light source to follow the red arrows, which would also cast two shadows.
@elementoflogic@MichelleLA1981 Iโm not missing the point at all. Iโm also not arguing against how taxes fund essential services. Nor am I suggesting things come free. The original post was about being overtaxed and underpaid. These two points resonate with the majority of Canadianโs. Good day!
@elementoflogic@MichelleLA1981 Canada's GDP is inflated by housing & immigration. Imputed rent (fake owner "rent") makes up ~8.5% of GDP, driving growth via asset bubbles, not productivity. Record immigration boosts totals but tanks per capita GDP & strains housing. This masks a low tax-to-GDP ratio (~33%)
When Liberal Budget 2025 calls a digital program โgenerationally transformative,โ Canadians deserve to know exactly what that means, and how it will reshape their rights, their democracy, and the integrity of the nation.
This budget sets in motion changes to your life in fundamental ways. Under this new digital framework:
You will see national infrastructure begin shifting from physical assets like bridges and power grids to AI networks, data centres, and emerging digital ID systems that govern access to services.
You may experience your economic activity being redefined, as your data, behaviour, and digital interactions become counted as part of Canadaโs capital assets and GDP.
You will eventually spend money differently as the government moves towards programmable digital currency to control when, where, and how your funds can be used, and even expiring if not spent.
You will be tracked more closely, as your purchases, travel patterns, and even your carbon footprint become part of a centralized ledger that monitors real-time interactions.
You will see ownership replaced with access, as government and corporations move toward systems where you rent, subscribe, or log in, where Gen-Z's should forget about ever owning a home, products, or tools outright.
I warned five years ago that this shift was coming, and now the foundation for it is being laid.
My hope is that this serves as a wake-up call for Canadians to become more engaged in our public life, because the future of our rights, our democracy, and our national identity will depend on your consent.
โThis is one of the biggest crimes in Canadian historyโ
They never tested the birds, the birds that survived the avian flu were alive & healthy a year after the outbreak. This was an unnecessary slaughter & it needs an investigation.
โI killed 900 people, and raped 50 young girls and 200 women.โ
