Andre Picard (Globe and Mail) repeating "COVID-19 has worsened chronic problems in hospitals":
You know that when they say "as COVID19 has worsened chronic problems in hospitals" they mean 'as the policies in responses to COVID19 have worsened chronic problems in hospitals.'
Healthcare bureaucrats who enacted those policies and journalists who supported imposing them have an incentive to not address the results of those policies honestly.
This is the problem when everyone who is in control of the narrative around the problem is complicit in either creating, enacting or promoting the policies that exacerbated the problem.
Politicians. Public Health bureaucrats. Journalists. They are all complicit.
Max Fawcett (Canada's National Observer) responding to Alberta MLA Brian Jean's tweet about Health Canada reporting 355 deaths following mRNA injection:
"I just cannot"
Obviously when people parrot these sorts of generic, high school level retorts they're not trying to make a valid point or an argument. They're merely making sure everyone can see their contempt for the person on the receiving end of the remark.
But you have to ask... you 'just cannot' what, Max? It's an incomplete sentence. Is it that you 'just cannot' get over your irrational investment in the official narrative to identify the deaths of these people as concerning? Or is it 'you just cannot' act like a journalist?
What's interesting is that the 'if it saves one life', 'my conformity to Covid measures equates to moral superiority' crowd are so invested in the official narrative they're now passing off illogical indifference to evidence of deaths attributable to the injections as sophistication and cleverness.
Tasha Kheiriddin (National Post, CBC, CTV) responding to a tweet from a fellow journalist about a group of citizens demonstrating their distrust of the mainstream media:
"Foreign interference"?
The most plausible explanation that Tasha can come up with for Canadians expressing their distrust with the media is a conspiracy theory (it's different when they do it) about how malevolent foreign entities are behind it. This is delusional.
My response to Tasha was highlighting her personal bias:
Tasha replied to my comment by suggesting it was somehow not factual to characterize her as part of the Canadian media establishment:
I reminded Tasha of what it says on her own bio on the website of the glorified PR company she left temporarily to join Jean Charest's leadership campaign:
But other than that... Tasha is definitely not a member of the Canadian media establishment.
Here's another example of Tasha's self-contradiction:
"Shame on those exploiting internal division".
That was on the Friday. But on a panel four days previously she said this:
Tasha's perspective about party unity appears to fluctuate depending on what is convenient for her position in the moment:
MONDAY: "We have competing visions for the party... it's more populism versus what I would call 'common sense conservatism."
FRIDAY: "Shame on those exploiting internal division."
Here's Tasha expressing her distaste for Canadians who speak openly about valuing freedom in a liberal democracy:
"Dogwhistle" is one of these meaningless labels generally used by the LEFT to associate thinking that threatens 'woke', progressive-Left ideology with vague, malevolent motivations.
This alleged conservative(!) is doing that to Canadians who say they value freedom in a liberal democracy.
Unreal.
Jonathan Kay (Quillette) has been feeling free to criticized his former colleagues in the Canadian mainstream media establishment now that he is no longer part of it.
Here he talks about a recent interview with journalist Terry Glavin who actually went against the official media narrative about "unmarked graves" of aboriginal children on the grounds of former residential schools:
What? Canadian journalists can be involved in propagating "what now looks to have been a nationwide social panic"?
What other "nationwide social panic" can we think of that Canadian journalists should be examining their involvement in propagating?
Hmmm.
