Summary

The restrictions and mandates are gone. You can breathe again. We no longer have to put on a chin diaper in order to go to the washroom in a restaurant. Bars are no longer having to close three hours early during prime sales and drinking times, and large venues for sports and concerts can fill up again.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 I want to interact with people.
00:00:03.760 Trudeau has certainly triggered people.
00:00:05.680 Especially coming from our top leader.
00:00:07.520 The Western Standard covered it and we're going to keep going.
00:00:09.340 Is it the tax? Is it the rate? Or is it what we assess?
00:00:12.560 The problem is, is who ends up paying for that tax at the end of the day?
00:00:15.980 Triggered. I'm Corey Morgan.
00:00:18.120 Coming to you every day, live at 11.30 Mountain Standard Time.
00:00:22.460 So I'm going to start, Ro, with sending my condolences to the City of Edmonton.
00:00:26.420 And particularly those who are, particularly those who own small businesses.
00:00:33.480 But you're going to lose revenue to competitors outside of city limits.
00:00:36.800 I feel for our neighbouring provinces as well.
00:00:38.900 And I hope they follow Alberta's lead soon.
00:00:42.220 Because Alberta's restrictions and mandates are pretty much all gone.
00:00:45.140 You can breathe again, smile again, scowl again.
00:00:48.040 We no longer have to put on a chin diaper in order to go to the washroom in a restaurant.
00:00:51.700 Bars will no longer have to close three hours early during the prime sales and drinking times.
00:00:57.580 Limits on social gatherings are being limited.
00:01:00.520 Or lifted, I should say.
00:01:02.040 And large venues for sports and concerts can fill up again.
00:01:05.260 Work from home orders have been lifted.
00:01:07.260 Most of us have forgotten they were even there.
00:01:08.820 But they are gone now.
00:01:10.140 Did I mention those damn masks are going to be gone?
00:01:11.960 Oh, God.
00:01:13.060 Aside from public transit, taxis, and care homes at least.
00:01:16.480 Hopefully they're going to be gone in most of those as well soon too.
00:01:19.360 If the prospect of having these restrictions lifted frightens you, all I can say is too damn bad.
00:01:25.320 Your fear is not my problem.
00:01:26.860 We're trying to make it so.
00:01:28.580 There's nothing to stop the fearful from wearing masks wherever they please.
00:01:32.420 They can choose to find work they can do from home and they can get all their products delivered.
00:01:36.320 Become an introvert.
00:01:37.500 Hell, you can wear a deep sea diving helmet for all I care.
00:01:40.780 It's up to you.
00:01:42.360 It's your problem.
00:01:43.840 We're never going to live in a zero-risk world.
00:01:46.020 There's always something out there that could kill us the second we step out the door.
00:01:48.860 No matter how hard the government may try, they're never going to be able to eliminate those risks.
00:01:53.880 They can only eliminate our freedoms, and they're very good at that.
00:01:57.200 All efforts around the world from every country to eliminate COVID-19 has failed.
00:02:01.100 Every one of them.
00:02:02.000 No matter how hard some nations have locked themselves down, the virus continues to exist and spread.
00:02:07.620 We can mitigate, but we can't stop this thing.
00:02:09.980 We need to face the reality that we can't govern ourselves out of a disease.
00:02:14.480 Governments can't do the most simple of tasks efficiently and effectively.
00:02:17.760 Why on earth did anybody think they could quell a pandemic?
00:02:21.140 All of those who've chosen to be vaccinated have done so now.
00:02:24.760 Leave those who've chosen not to alone.
00:02:26.720 Quit chasing them around, messing with their lives and demonizing them.
00:02:29.500 It's not making anybody safer, and it's only dragging out our already agonizingly slow return to some form of social normalcy.
00:02:37.160 Ignore the bloody mainstream media news.
00:02:39.160 Not only because I want you all subscribing to us here at the Western Standard, but because it's better for your mental health and sense of safety.
00:02:45.840 The mainstream media will continue to headline whatever the most frightening and negative stats are for the day every day.
00:02:51.460 If deaths went down, the news will report on infections going up.
00:02:54.420 If infections went down, the news will report on the higher positivity rates in testing.
00:02:59.080 If all the stats went down, the news will find an expert who found a lone case of COVID-19 in a rodent in Botswana,
00:03:04.640 and will express concern that this strain shall surely lead to mass impotence in young men if indeed it breaks free from the Botswana rat world.
00:03:11.740 Thus, we must lock down in Alberta.
00:03:13.000 They refuse to report positive news on COVID, and you're never going to lose your fear of it if you keep listening to them.
00:03:20.480 Doctors like NDP Joe Vipond will continue to get airtime, and he's going to continue to fear monger.
00:03:25.800 They have no power, though, if you don't listen to them.
00:03:28.360 We've got to remain on guard, though.
00:03:29.800 Not for the virus.
00:03:30.700 That's never going away.
00:03:32.160 We just have to live with it.
00:03:33.840 We have to watch for the moves on the government's part to go back into restrictions.
00:03:36.980 Remember, we sang all these celebratory tunes less than a year ago as we entered the best summer ever.
00:03:43.360 Only to be locked down again by fall.
00:03:45.380 They can and will do it again if given a chance.
00:03:48.660 The protests, they helped, even if no authorities will admit it.
00:03:51.960 I hope they understand the protests will be back with a vengeance if the restrictions return.
00:03:57.560 For now, though, let's enjoy that breath of freedom.
00:03:59.440 We've been long overdue to draw it in.
00:04:01.620 And at the same time, remember that freedom could be fleeting.
00:04:03.720 We can lose it quickly if we don't remain on guard.
00:04:06.220 I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
00:04:08.000 The battle of the last two years has never been about health.
00:04:10.180 It's been about control.
00:04:10.960 Citizens have regained some personal control.
00:04:14.360 Be sure to guard it carefully and jealously because it can be fleeting, as I say.
