@blogTO @courtneyydobbs Best oppurtunity after WW2 to sell weapons, at tax payers expense, and worst of all at the expense of millions of #Ukrainians lives. No shame at all
@jacquesleger17 @blastingbs @momwright6 The evidence is seroprevalence is very high in the unvaccinated population, and natural immunity in latest studies is more protective against reinfection that vaccination alone. Tell me how a pass keeps you safe in this situation.
@dcjohn2969 @CheikhDiopissa @JustinTrudeau Wtf do you people not understand about us having the right to protest! IT'S OUR RIGHT!!! The government doesn't get to tell us when we have to stop protesting the government! They work for us they don't rule us.
@JustinTrudeau Dude.. if you have 90% of them vaccinated why need more? Forcing people even more at those numbers is political suicide and trust me, you've already done that by grouping everyone at that protest with a couple people that weren't even in the thick of the protest.
@JustinTrudeau Does this take into a account all the truckers and Canadians who frlt like they had no choice but to get vaccinated to keep feeding their families?? it’s easy to praise people you extorted into getting vaccinated!!!
@JustinTrudeau “This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. Now go get vaccinated and boosted, because that’s exactly what I did and I still got the virus.” Does no one else realize how weird all of these messages are?
