So what exactly is going on in Canada?

Others, little aspiring tyrants just like you, decided that they didn't like smoking so no one should smoke and they used the blunt instrument of government to accomplish it.

Cause it kills people.
I don't care if it kills me so much, I don't want to live past 80 anyways.
Besides stinking Second hand smoke is bad for everybody around it.
I'm infringing on the health and safety of others because I want to make bad decisions.

Andrew Noymer, a public-health professor at UC Irvine, told me that if COVID continues to account for a few hundred thousand American deaths every year—“a realistic worst-case scenario,” he calls it—that would wipe out all of the life-expectancy gains we’ve accrued from the past two decades’ worth of smoking-prevention efforts.

COVID Won’t End Up Like the Flu. It Will Be Like Smoking.

Hundreds of thousands of deaths, from either tobacco or the pandemic, could be prevented with a single behavioral change.

Guess what, there's nothing that says smokers have to smoke around non smokers. Crisis averted!

If you block city streets, you are going to be removed and arrested. That's how these things work. That is how civil disobedience works.

Sure, remove and arrest them. That's how civil disobedience works. Not freeze their bank accounts and lock them out of their assets. Your lack of awareness that this overreach can someday be turned on you by an administration you don't support says everything anyone needs to know about you. Just like those idiots on the right who supported GWB granting himself "temporary" emergency powers with the Patriot Act, which congress keeps voting to renew despite the premise being bullshit from the beginning. You are witless.

I also wrote that I hated the idea of freezing bank accounts.

But right now, we are talking about new zealand. Are they freezing accounts too?

Yes, and you also wrote you loved the idea of freezing bank accounts. Are we really doing another lap of this?

 

[norton9478]

No, you can just spare me the ausplainin'.

I never wrote under what circumstances, what restrictions and what context I like the idea.

No, you didn't. You're right that everything you say is vague and meaningless. You're shit at backpedaling, by the way.

 

[norton9478]

Not backpeddelin'.

Just trying to clear up any misunderstanding.

It's like a never ending ping pong match in here.

if you never really said anything, did you really say anything at all?
