'British Columbia becomes latest province to introduce a vaccine certificate allowing residents access to restaurants, clubs, sporting events and other activities.'

- The Globe and Mail




The clip below from Australian news provides a preview of what life in the province of British Columbia and across Canada will look like with the rollout of this next level of 'medical tyranny'.


The news report shows inspectors conducting random checks for vaccination status. Don't have yours with you? Not up to date? Didn't get the most recent, state mandated booster shot? Sorry, you're not allowed to work. You are fined and ordered to immediately go home.


And as is already happening in France, it also means you can't get into shopping centres. You get kicked out of cafes, restaurants and bars. You can't use trains. And on and on.


In short, it's a world in which you must be prepared at any moment to prove to the state that you meet their requirements to be allowed to function in society.


This is a fundamental transformation of the way we've lived in our countries for generations. And yet middle class people in Australia, Canada and other Western nations are not just passively accepting this transformation, many are zealously demanding it.


Why are people demanding that the political class impose these extraordinary controls on them? Believe it or not, it's because a ludicrous conceptual abstraction has been manufactured and projected at them: Politicians are entitled to destroy society and replace liberal democracy with totalitarianism if there's a new virus in circulation.


Without taking even a moment to reflect on it's legitimacy or logic, supposedly educated middle class people simply accepted the premise as axiomatic. Their judgement about every increasingly authoritarian move by the political class over the past year and half has flowed from their acceptance of that first, unexamined conclusion.


When you and your peers have accepted a premise as self-evident unquestionable truth, why would it even occur to you to examine it?
