00:00:00.000Do we bring back masks for elementary school kids, university students, all of general society?
00:00:06.560And I know what you're thinking right now. Don't touch that button there. Don't stop this video.
00:00:09.740You're thinking, oops, I screwed up. I accidentally went to some old video from, I don't know, fall 2021, fall 2020, something like that.
00:00:17.740No, you did not. This is November 2022.
00:00:22.500And if you heard that opening question and you're like, what? Why is he saying this?
00:00:26.700I will say to you, yeah, I don't know why I'm saying. In fact, I'm kind of embarrassed to be even putting that question forward.
00:00:33.820And yet, can you believe it? That is where the conversation apparently is at for some individuals, some news organizations in Canada right now.
00:00:43.300Do we force masks upon children once again?
00:00:46.740The obvious answer is no, but I don't even want to lower myself into returning to that conversation that we have had for quite some time.
00:00:55.280We've really been repeating all of this. It's just kind of an eye roll that we're suddenly at this position right now.
00:01:01.800No actual official and anywhere I can find in Canada is actually saying, yes, we want to bring back mask mandates.
00:01:08.040We're seriously considering it. I know there are some odd headlines trying to imply that, for instance, Toronto Public Health would say,
00:01:14.580we got to bring back the mandates. Really, it was just that some people were pushing Toronto Public Health to consider that.
00:01:19.900And they're like, OK, thanks for you advocating this for us. We'll take that into consideration.
00:01:24.380But no, we're not actively planning to do this. I just find it bizarre.
00:01:29.980I find it kind of cringe and embarrassing that Ontario, Ontario, always the most backwards place.
00:01:35.940And in the Western world, the English speaking world, sometimes you look back at the lockdowns and it was like Ontario and China were the only places doing this totally bonkers, crazy thing.
00:01:46.200Now we're in a situation where, yet again, find me a place where masks are forced upon schoolchildren.
00:01:51.980Right now, November 2022, there ain't such a place, really.
00:01:56.620You're going to have to look pretty far and wide and overturn a whole bunch of rocks to try and find this location.
00:02:01.480Guys, you're embarrassing yourselves by pushing this narrative.
00:02:05.080You want to wear the mask, you want to deal with your own personal issues and make personal choices, go ahead.
00:02:09.320Nobody's telling you not to do that. That's fine.
00:02:11.260But this whole conversation, do we bring back mandatory masking in children or else you're not going to be allowed in the classroom?
