With all the crazy shit going on, I swear I have enough writing material for two lifetimes.

The current chaos makes me feel like we’ve stepped into a dystopian novel, and what’s worse is that for the first time, I’ve had people coming up to me lately, saying they think something isn’t quite right, saying they have a bad feeling about what’s going on. My response to anyone who says that is to listen to that little voice inside you, because only you know what’s best for you.

I’ve seen division and segregation as of late in my country between the double-vaxxed and the unvaxxed. I’ve heard hate tossed out by political leaders and have seen and heard people I personally know making sociopathic comments to people who are unvaxxed. Honestly, I’ve had to take a step back and wonder what the hell is fueling all this fear. How many times, especially as of late, have you voiced an opinion to someone, telling that person he or she has to do something because you’ve demanded it? Has there been a moment in all this craziness where you’ve maybe said or done something to hurt someone badly, then wished you could undo it?

Let’s be clear: I will not have a conversation with anyone where I try to force that person to decide what to put in his or her body. That’s your choice, one you must make for yourself and for your family. Feel free to unfollow me, but I will not be bullied by anyone or fall in line with anyone’s way of thinking. I’ve made my position very clear to a lot of people as of late. I will always side with the underdog who’s being bullied. Every horrific thing that has happened in history started with one person who knew how to fuel fears that spread through the masses, and it continued because people were afraid to speak up.

But there is a point, as I’ve said to my children over and over, where you are responsible for problems if you allow a false narrative to continue and do not do your own research. Everyone should ask questions. Let’s take the mainstream media, which is funded by the government. I mean, seriously, can you imagine a world where everyone suddenly stopped watching the news? Better yet, how about not sharing mainstream articles on social media, as they only fuel more fear and further a certain narrative? This was exactly what happened in a front-page article on August 26, which still sickens me as I read such hate.

After seeing this, I was quiet for a couple of days, sick to my stomach over the hatred, and scared for a moment at how bold people are in putting these opinions out. I’m wondering how something like this could be allowed to happen in a free country, in Canada. Is this not promoting hate? Under the criminal code, you will find this: https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-46/section-319.html.

What if the government started banning obesity, smoking, and fast and unhealthy foods, forcing people to exercise and get medical screenings? I think, though I could be wrong, that there would be a backlash, most likely from the billion-dollar corporations that make a profit off those industries. And how about the reckless spending by government that has gone on in the name of the pandemic, with untold billions provided to corporations that turned record profits? That’s not to mention the mainstream media, which is funded by the government. Everyone should know the details of how that money was spent, including who got it and how much they were given, because it will have to be paid back, and guess who is on the hook for it? My kids and their kids.

I don’t remember ever agreeing to pay for someone else’s reckless spending. I saw a post on social media poking fun at the current government, saying, “So how do you want us to spend all your tax dollars?” When I saw it, I didn’t respond, but I did say out loud to myself, “On nothing! Give it all back.”

It’s imperative to look at what’s happening in other countries, as well. But, again, do your own research. Everyone is born with that feeling inside that tells you when something is wrong or something doesn’t feel right. You can call it whatever you want, your Spidey senses, your gut, your whatever. You know that feeling that may have saved you from doing something really stupid? Look back at every time you heard that little voice, and ask yourself how many times you decided not to listen. What happened then? Only you can decide what is good for you and your family, no one else.

While you’re all now doing your own research, remember a quote from Thomas Jefferson: “When the people fear the government, that’s tyranny; when the government fears the people, that’s freedom.”
