Saw this and downloaded it before Twitter disappeared it from my timeline. Wishing our Canadian friends good luck with with what their leaders are pushing on them.

I don't think there's ever been that many people who completely distrust "authorities".
COVID-19 location tracking app/tracking fob turns out to have zero privacy, while the company behind it lobbies to make using it mandatory.
Supporting covid tracking in any way shape or form was a massive mistake. The idea that we could get privacy preserving versions of it rather than a panopticon was always a pipe dream.
Resistance is the only option.

@Atlas_Khan I have personal experience with this. :) I lost weight pretty quickly with exercise, and I keep it off. But I'm lucky to have active stuff I actually like to do.
Main thing I need to do is get a job with a commute again... I was so much better when I was cycling to work every day.
That and getting out of lockdown so I can go climbing again...
@Atlas_Khan For the record, I'm overweight.
And I agree with you. I'm fat because I'm lazy. I don't have any excuses.
@Atlas_Khan He's overweight enough he needs to worry about covid. 😂
Fuck you.

@stephanlivera I'm an Australian citizen, and I think there's a very good chance I never set foot on Australian soil again. The culture is authoritarian enough to lockdown their borders forever.
Remember that there's a good chance that reopening not only results in a surge of covid-19 cases. But also other diseases, like flu.

this is an oft-discussed scenario, I tend to think it will be a less significant effect than portrayed in this article; I am probably influenced by the history of bitcoin; I haven't seen evidence that prices are ever lower outside centralized exchanges (the opposite?), seems mostly surmise, not data.
The author may be under-stating the importance of the perfect verifiability (and doesn't understand intrinsic fungibility).

The ACLU is suing to prevent a private citizen from accessing public records from the Washington State Department of Corrections.
Guys the ACLU done FUCKED UP
The ACLU has filed a lawsuit to prevent a private citizen from receiving public records from the Washington State Department of Corrections on the number of inmates in state custody who identify as transgender and the number of male inmates who are housed in women’s facilities.
Somehow the ACLU has stuck with their values enough to support even free speech for Nazis (while condemning it, of course), and yet transgender issues is the thing that makes them falter. Do you see the undue power this issue has?? Its chokehold on society?
This is truly insane. I can hardly believe it’s real.
In a twist of irony, our client actually used resources provided on the ACLU’s website to draft the public records request which they are now seeking to squash.
Lmao… this is so painfully hypocritical.

ICU/hospital utilization in Toronto is *lower* than normal right now.
Yes, lower.
"I got the feeling very early on that many health professionals were using COVID to fight a proxy war against what they see as a chronically underfunded health care system."
He's right. Unfortunately, using tactics like that is unbelievably dishonest. I think you can make a good argument it should be criminal fraud.

@alex If I were 70, I'd still take it. But at 36, I'm refusing to take any of these vaccines out of principal: forcing 100% of the population to take emergency use authorization vaccines with just a few months of testing data is absurd and dangerous even ignoring human rights and bodily autonomy. The medical community pushing for that aren't just evil, they're really stupid too.
Purely from a "don't put all your eggs in one basket" point of view 50% uptake makes much more sense.

@adam @Johncdvorak Please review the attached image. I hassled health Canada to the point they FINALLY responded.
These motherfuckers are using 40-45 cycles.
