Very interesting article George. Thats the first time I've seen pictures of the arrest. Unsettling to be sure. Certainly not something I thought I would ever witness in Canada. Hard to imagine those images not shocking a majority of the population. Is the fear really so great the people will let this continue? History is easily forgotten it seems. A group of Canadian doctors are trying to use science, and the data from it, to dispel some of that fear. I certainly hope they succeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7vWuIO5Q6Y

I won't call it anti-Christian as much as a question of Christian theology . But a hunting forum is not the place to ague theology.
The specs on the 3Ms N95 differently do filter out droplets. They have found double masking are almost as effective. And with most of us, a mask is an improvement. in our looks. .

I couldn't care less regarding any religious aspects of the debate. Personally, I feel that gathering in any group is not without risk and generally speaking, unless there is a rifle competition involved, I won't do it. Speaking of that, we are not allowed to engage in rifle competition either. Perhaps if we wore BLM hats. There is little doubt that we are losing the freedom of choice, the freedom to assemble, freedom of speech. We are being coerced into accepting untested "vaccines". In the midst of all of this, we continue to strive to bury our world with our sheer numbers (covid or not, the population continues to grow). I intend to avoid any vaccines and will travel and mingle on my terms. If I catch covid, it probably won't make me all that ill. If it does, oh well. I've taken bigger chances. GD

Looks like you guys have some communists in this bunch. That or they are quite useful to them. Call it socialism or whatever you wish it has worried me since I learned of your laws against carrying a gun. To me that is a God given right not from the government. We have an active chasm between freedom and our highest government in the US as well. Good luck to you all, Be Well, RZ.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill.

You do realize that two of the largest studies ever done on masks were just published in the last couple of months right?? They were RCT studies too. Interesting to note that RCT are the gold standard when it comes to medical studies. Both studies found the same thing. Masks offer zero protection from covid. If we were really following science mask mandates would have been lifted the day after these studies were published. Thats not going to happen though because this whole mess has nothing to do with science.

Thank you Dwayne. An old pastor (well, he’s still preaching I think) was fond of noting the unpredictability of life: “90% of it is what happens to you, the other 10% is how you respond to it”...and the rightfulness of that is often questionable.
Reminds me of Psalm 92 — “it’s good to give thanks to the lord, for His loving kindness in the morning (for He sustained me through the night) and for His faithfulness in the evening (for He preserved me through the day).”

Saddle gun, Are you saying that you have a personal right to not get sick?....because you DO NOT! If you live in fear then you should lock yourself up in your house.
Covid like most illnesses generally kill the weak just as it’s intended to do in nature.
You don’t get any guarantees that you won’t get sick and to blame anyone for getting you sick is cowardly. Take some personal responsibility for yourself and quit expecting everyone to cater to the weakest. Illness is meant to weed the weak out of the gene pool. 😉......it’s biology 101. Quite amusing.

I bet you are popular in Alberta, probably have to put you're groucho marxist nose and glasses on to go outdoors.

The reason kids are still in schools is that the government doesn't have the infrastructure for that much child care and they don't want to foot the bill... so I can't see how they can put minor children at risk and then turn around and arrest an adult in the company of other adults who have voluntarily chosen to accept so level of risk... and the "greater good" argument doesn't wash... we all drive cars at great risk, we can choose to skydive, climb mountains and do any number of high risk pursuits fully accepting the consequences... this situation is more about protecting the accepted and presented storyline.

Dwayne, what is very clear is that the Kingdom that He calls his followers to proclaim is not of this world. God is not political and could care less about my politics or your politics. Jesus died for people, not politics. What the scripture is VERY clear about is that His Good News is proclaimed, and that we ought to "become all things to all men that by all means we might save some." For the church of Jesus Christ this should not be a nationalized/political thing... if we really care about His Kingdom we should ignore the politics of men and proclaim His truth. Remember how Jesus told His disciples to "render to Caesar what is due to Caesar"? There is no recognition of right or wrong there, just that we render to government what is asked because "we are not of this world." Our citizenship is not in Canada or the USA but in Heaven.
But the scripture always runs cross-wise to what we humans think... this thread is a perfect example. I'm still looking for the scripture which instructs me to compel my fellow man by threat of violence to do or not do things for his own good. It would appear that you are in full support of doing so, citing the teachings of Christ re: stumbling blocks and loving your neighbor. Wow is right.

Looks like dangerous liberal white supremacists like sadllegun and Brad are the real reason for the necessary crackdowns. At least according to this Muslim mayor in Alberta. Lol.

That was the most intelligent post you’ve made on this entire thread, dodging the question was your smartest move. Catering to the lowest common denominator has obviously benefited you....LMFAO Congrats?
