Hibernation Day #242 | Try as they might, the #monkeypox thing is not getting much traction. And people are wondering how it could pop up in 24 countries in a couple of days. The narrative engineers are cutting corners. #NoVaccineMandates 1/
Hibernating is becoming a bit of a joke. Quite seriously, I am living exactly the same was as I did in Spring 2019. The vax/masked Karens are fading. The VID is still around but not something to worry about. People are living their lives. #NoVaccineMandates 2/
The BC government quietly dropped its jab mandate for its employees - I think the HCW mandate is still in place, but it will go. I am not sure that this will save the BC gov't from assorted legal actions. But nice to see reality bite. #NoVaccineMandates 3/
So, all that is left of the vax mandates are the silly federal jab mandates for travel (and the civil service, I gather). These are vanity mandates for JT and his band of merry idiots. "We have power!" Well, yes, so stop appeasing the three Ont Libs who love mandates. 4/
The idiot Ford is likely to beat the bigger idiots of the Ont Libs and NDP in next week's election. The Ont vax and mask Karens will be crying. The rest of the country will want the dim Trudeau to get the airports moving. Is he smart enough to listen? 5/
COVID has left the science and health building and is now resident over in "community services". The nice ladies with social work and teaching degrees because they really didn't like math. There are a lot of them and they adore Justin and hate conflict. 6/
COVID response has now become entirely detached from Public Health or Science. For a dwindling minority it is about "feeling safe". How can we tolerate these people? Well, they annoy me but I am pretty tolerant. Wear a mask, get jab #5, no skin off my nose. 7/
We are about to hit the happy moment where no one actually cares about COVID. We'll get on with our lives.

Spring has Arrived! 8/8

Hibernation Day #243 | Work, garden, buried a bird who flew into a window, watched the unsurprising HoC vote on travel restrictions, Lamented for the Nation. Mask count continues to fall. #NoVaccineMandates 1/
The whole edifice of masks, mandates, passports has slipped beneath the waves. The loonies in Ontario and Quebec are still hysterical but life goes on. You can now say ivermectin on Twitter without being banned. #NoVaccineMandates 2/
We had the great pleasure of a pod of orcas going by the house at 7:30 AM. (Which is why no pictures.) Four. We are incredibly lucky to have the ocean right out front. We also have a couple of sky cobras and their goslings wandering around the Islet. #NoVaccineMandates 3/

I am totally unsurprised that the @CPC_HQ motion to get rid of travel restrictions was defeated in the HoC today. Partially because the Libs and NDP were never going to vote for it, partially because the restrictions seem popular in certain parts of the country. 1/
In the West, including BC, the whole question of mandatory jabs and the villification of the unjabbed has really remained a minority view. We lacked the militant media pro-vaxxers required to gin up the hatred of the unjabbed. 2/
Not so in the land of the Toronto Star and the Ontario Science Table or in Quebec home of the curfew and, very nearly, fines for the unvaxxed. Out West, as the mandates and the passports collapsed we moved on. In Ontario, led by the vax maximalist leaders of the Opp...3/

A change of conversation: for the last two years public conversation has been about COVID - the disease, the NPIs, the jabs, the mandates. I think this is about to change. Quite radically. 1/
There is very little left to say about COVID. The Karens will keep their masks but the rest of us have moved on. There is still a lot to say about vax injuries and the immune effects of the jabs. But that will be pushed off the table. 2/
There is every possibility that the Bank of Canada is going to bump interest rates a full half point. And then, perhaps next month, another half point. Not enough to kill the current, crazy, inflation, but enough to hurt. 3/

Hibernation Day #241 | Off to the Legislature for a rally. Good crowd but a little different. Different organizers. As one of my kids put it, "More Facebook than Instagram". Very much a "pro-Charter" rally. #novaccinemandates 1/ Image
I was amused as one woman spoke about how very small groups of people could have huge influence and referred to the @CPC_HQ leadership. She suggested signing up as members and then voting for Leslyn Lewis. It was a very odd thing to say, but that was the crowd. 2/
The organizers come out of the socon/pro-Life/Christian world - and nothing wrong with that - but it is very different from the more Libertarian/PPC/freedom of choice world which has animated the earlier rallies. 3/

A lot of people in BC are more than a little annoyed that we are in the running to be the last province to lift COVID mandates and vax passports. I'm annoyed too but there is one upside, this reveals the whole thing as purely political. #honkhonk 1/
Back when the mask mandate came in it was an order from the Attorney General rather than the PHO. And it was in response to a request from the BC Retailers' Association, not the public health community. So, political. #honkhonk 2/
The vax passes were not about health either. They were about "incentivizing" people to get the jabs. Jabs which did nothing to prevent infection or transmission and, were essentially useless against Omicron. So, political. #honkhonk 3/

Hibernation Day #154 | Much of Canada will be dropping the COVID restrictions and mask mandates in the next few days. A good thing as very few of them were effective. Take up of the 3rd jab has dropped dramatically. #honkhonk 1/
Does this mean COVID is over? I doubt it. The NPIs and the jabs were a response - and not a very good one - to an actual virus which is, as we speak, out there mutating away. Yes, there was a lot of BS surrounding COVID but it actually revealed a bunch of issues. #honkhonk 2/
First, Canada and British Columbia have a really rickety Health Care system and no one seems willing to even begin to fix it. We lack the ability to rapidly surge ICU capacity. We lack that ability not because we don't have the room, rather because we don't have the people. 3/
