Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Cancel Culture

So you are a bully and support your country even when it does things you disagree with. Things you know are immoral. That is a common problem with career military. My father was a 34 year U.S. Navy officer and he once quoted to me "My country, right or wrong, still my country". I told him that was akin to saying "my mother drunk or sober, still my mother".

Surely by now you know the science was wrong on a lot of the Corona response and would admit the "vaccines" can be dangerous?

So those decisions are above your pay grade and you assume above mine.

Thanks for contributing your opinion, soldier on.

Hastings, I admit that you have the right to your opinion, as I have a right to mine.

Cancel culture is like robbing a bank and then putting all the witnesses and victims in jail.
It's like creating a virus real or imaginary and putting anyone who doesn't buy or take your vaccine in jail.

Guys should quit picking on Steve 😉

Not that he doesn’t earn it.

Better idea is to put him on ignore, then you don’t have to listen to his self serving drivel...

I agree about the right to an opinion. I am just terribly sorry that your great country and mine knuckled under and didn't insist that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed.

I have travelled in western Canada and found the people there much like our western population. We used to be able to cross back and forth across the border almost as easily as from one state to another. There have been millions of good people harmed financially, socially, and mentally. Some families have broken up, there has been a surge in suicide and drug and alcohol abuse in both our countries. If only you and millions more like you would have said enough is enough and said no matter my opinion of the ''vaccines'' I respect a persons right to refuse a medical experiment without coercion. You knew the science was ''evolving'' and has it ever evolved.

I rather suspect that you like myself already collect a rather nice retirement payment every month that will come no matter how many millions get knocked out of their livelihood. that doesn't give us the right to sneer and say let them eat cake.

Time will tell but I fear we will reap a bitter harvest from all this COVID response.

As a side note. I came down with 5 degrees of fever Saturday evening and my RN-NP wife tested me which produced an unambiguous positive Corona result. I used an appropriate dose of Ivermectin that night and another 14 hours later. Fever was basically gone Sunday afternoon and I'm back feeding cows and shooting hogs. Taking a Zpack to prevent secondary problems.

Doctors say that Omicron is the dominant variant now. It is a very mild version of COVID but provides good immunity. For most, except those with serious health conditions, it is no worse than a cold. It lasts a few days and is gone. Fever, a runny nose and fatigue are said to be the main symptoms.

It is expected that virtually everyone will catch it, but most will assume that it’s a cold. In Europe, they are referring to it as a “COVID cold”.

You will be fine.

So why do we continue to shut the world down over a "cold"? Last year the gov't told us there were no colds, first year in at least 10,000 years. A year later it's back. Govt's have lost all credibility, should just admit they have no clue.

This is my interpretation.

According to doctors, the Omicron variant is a milder form, unlike previous ones. For persons with compromised immune systems, it is still capable of putting people in hospital. It can still cause death, but they are not seeing the higher numbers like with previous variants.

The coronavirus continues to mutate. How people will react to variants is unknown until the mutations arrive. Vaccinations help by reducing the severity. People are less likely to die, but some will still end up in hospital.

The medical community doesn’t want cases to arrive all at once. That would overwhelm them. Spreading it out, or flattening the curve, makes it easier to manage resources.

So I guess "cancel culture" is a phenomenon that whereby you ask a simple straight forward question and get a surprising array of answers that have nothing to do with the original question.

In a strange twist, the answer is in here somewhere, I think its is to confuse the masses.

673;
Morning sir, I see your light is on so hope the fire's lit and the coffee is brewed as well.

Not only do "they" want to confuse the masses, they want/need them to stop talking to each other, to have them segment into something resembling tribalism.

When I read history for instance, Riel was dangerous because he very nearly got the FN folks to work together and reject the centuries of tribal conflict.

We can only guess what would have taken place if Crowfoot would have thrown the Blackfoot Confederacy behind Riel, you know?

I'd argue that likely it was Jerry Potts' influence as well as the respect Crowfoot had among the younger members that kept the lid on that time.

If "they" can keep us fighting amongst ourselves, we're easier to herd, no?

Cheery thoughts on a calm Tuesday morning from Dwayne!

Have a good one regardless sir.

I finally caught the sheit but other than me everybody I know that has come down with Corona in the past year has been shot up with one of those ''vaccines''. I had 5 degrees fever and knocked mine out with Ivermectin taken immediately on verification by nasal swab and another dose 14 hours later. Fever pretty well gone within 24 hours of onset.

If I were a Canadian I would grab up some Ivermectin before it gets outlawed. There is no telling what the Chinese will turn loose next or maybe this thing could mutate into something way worse as did the Spanish Flu in its mutation after the first wave.

This official and social media resistance to discussion of alternate therapies is strange and hard to understand unless they are having nefarious motives. Instead of railing against Ivermectin and deriding people for taking "horse wormer" why don't they come out and say it won't hurt you and might help? There could be public service announcements on correct dosing and the human version could be sold over the counter just like aspirin and Tylenol both of which can surely kill you.

Send me a PM if your wife wants to meet a man.

Another good read from Jordan Peterson

So is there some connection to a loss of a freedom of speech or some kind of censorship doctrine by the government? I am a born again Christian who holds the Bible as my absolute authority in all matters of faith and practice. Can the government make me quit proclaiming the truths contained in the pages of holy writ? I know quoting Scripture on the 24Hr Campfire starts an open leprous sore that brings naysaying and ridicule.

Is that cancel culture? Not that it bothers me. After 40 years as a practising Bible Believer, I have learned to roll with the punches, and leave most of the religious threads alone.

Anyway thanks for the thoughts of those who have answered seriously, and to the others , , , , , , , , , Consider yourselves . . . . . . . cancelled.

No, cancel culture is about erasing history because it somehow offends someone. It is about changing mascots because the current choice is not politically correct. Etc.

There's nothing any gov't .. well, at least not yours and not mine .. is doing to drive this. It's strictly the wackadoodle left wing trying to censor whatever they seem to be offended by at the moment. Anything patriotic. Statues of past leaders, war heroes, etc. Anything .. inspiring, in any positive way. Primarily it is anti-white, anti-conservative, anti-male, anti-success. Anything people can blame for their own failures or can remove that reminds them of their own personal inadequacies.

Yes,people who don't like their life.

I would add there is something that is easy for most to see. When you are watching television this evening, watch the commercials. Most of the persons are not white. There is a high percentage of women and there are a number of mixed marriages. By pointing this out, I would be labelled a racist. But the point I am making is that the persons and situations in these commercials do not reflect Canada accurately. It does not represent the make up of Canada, but for some reason, it is politically correct.

It is not a good time to be white and male, despite the fact that whites represent about 73% of the population. In the Canadian media, Caucasians are now underrepresented. To point that out at work would be grounds to discipline or even discharge you.

According to the 2016 Canadian census, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Canada#Ethnic_origin

White Europeans represented 72.9% of the total population
Aboriginals 4.9%
South Asians (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Myanmar) - 5.6%
Asians - 8.6%
Blacks - 3.5%

If we look at the scriptures, I have never read a single verse that calls for races to be singled out, put down or murdered. Sadly, mankind, oh sorry, peoplekind, keeps those differences front and centre. They are in our face every day. We are our own worst enemy.

Aboriginals, blacks, Asians, gays and females get national days or weeks or months, Suggest a National Caucasian Day and you had better duck. By constantly holding race in people's faces, they perpetuate the problem of inequality. Having events like this keeps the problem alive.

I'd have to disagree there. See Deuteronomy 20:16-18. I think a person has to be playing fast and loose (in other words, dishonestly) with Scripture to say this is anything but commanding genocide. Very likely most of the Jews' problems, and most of the problems of the world today, would have been avoided if they'd followed instructions. Just as with Abraham and Isaac, if the tribes had begun as if to follow orders, with full will to carry them out, those commands might have been rescinded and the deck reshuffled, but the lack of will, lack of faith, were poison and the price is still being paid. ... IMHO anyway.

This is God is instructing the elimination of non-believers. Those who worship false idols. I was referring to a command to destroy a people because they are black or from another place, etc.
