Steven Lewis once said, “I don’t know how you can be a Christian and not be a socialist?”
Idolatry
Vaccines
I am not an expert, but I have always thought taking a vaccine was for my protection. That will be my call if I want to take a risk and contract a disease. I have taken a vaccine for the Wuhan Flu dominating the news. But that was my decision.
One hope
I have one hope in this pandemic crisis. I hope that Canadians appreciate the importance of freedom more than ever.
Having lost them in the clutter of orders for vaccines, lockdowns and masks, we may understand how important they are.
An insight from Venezuela
An immigrant from Venezuela shared his fear.
He and his wife fled Venezuela to escape what they see emerging in Canada today.
Loss of meaning
Flying the flag at half-mast has become meaningless.
Shame on us. We have lost a signal of respect and regret that had significant meaning—shame on us for electing and tolerating such nonsense.
Truth in Advertising
I saw a bus billboard the other day. The sponsor was the Union of Public Employees for the Province. The message suggested that we all benefited from the work of Civil Servants.
What happened to ‘contact tracing?’
Histories of past epidemics show the importance of contact tracing.
But the subject has vanished from the public discussion and the media pays it no mind.
Maybe the media is not interested in solutions, only in the problems.
Woke
The politically correct crowd is changing our language to change us. They have added a new verb, woke.
We can fight fire with fire; we can create words that aim the speaker to a trajectory of thought.
This Time Will Not Be Different
I meditated this morning on the coming financial crisis.
During my brooding, I wondered, will cryptocurrencies, computer-based currencies make a difference?
A virtual farewell
A dear friend of mine passed away recently. He contracted and reacted badly to the Covid virus, which I prefer to call the Wuhan flu.
His wife was not able to be at his side. She was allowed to see him through Facebook as they removed life support.
