Thanks Alek.

I think breaking the political complacency in Etobicoke Center next year is an achievable goal. The margin between CONs and Libs was 8% in &#039;18, will likely shrink. Who knows, by this time next year perhaps the entire riding could be winnable by an independent. Wouldn&#039;t that be something.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bombthrower.com/political-party-staffers-mock-constituents-concerned-about-small-business-bankruptcies/#comment-64602&quot;&gt;Kevin Shier&lt;/a&gt;.

Hey Kevin, the main thing is the government got locked into one track and would not waver from it: lockdown, wait for vaccines. 

If you go look at Tom Woods&#039; &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://tomwoods.lpages.co/covid-charts-cnn-forgot/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;Charts CNN forgot to show you&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, he&#039;s compiled a lot of data showing that lockdown or no lockdown, COVID will lay its own course through the population.

What really bothers me is that there are data and studies about other non-pharmaceutical interventions that could have had a real world impact: Vitamin D and Zinc are not controversial but known to be efficacious - a widespread public awareness campaign to encourage people to bulk up on these things would have been better than locking everybody away and waiting. If the government was not sure about these measures, then they could have initiated multiple &quot;warp speed&quot; type operations to &lt;em&gt; find some&lt;/em&gt;. Instead they just locked down, dug in, and spent their time spinning the media instead of going balls to wall to find avenues, any avenues that could have helped.

That&#039;s without even going near &quot;controversial&quot; interventions (that are only controversial because Trump favoured them) like Ivermectin or HCX.

There are two main media points which should have been questioned and researched independently:
1) casedemic: what is a case? A positive PCR test on a CT &gt; 35 or, the old fashioned definition: somebody exhibiting symptoms who requires medical attention.

2) asymptomatic transmission. My understanding is that there has never been a respiratory pathogen that transmitted asymptomatically. So why the hysteria? Either something is different about COVID-19, in which case why is it different? or most of these cases aren&#039;t cases.

The load on the hospital system: I&#039;ve been in touch with some people in the health system who tell me the load can be high at times, but it is on par with heavy flu seasons.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey Mark,

I am aghast at the contemptible responses from a public servant. It highlights many deep problems. My question is around your thoughts on how to open up yet not let the health situation get completely out of control. Do you have something published or can you reply with how you see that working? I&#039;ve followed you for years and generally have similar viewpoints but I am a bit confused how we manage a pandemic but let businesses run as before. I know what we are doing is not working. We open/close/partly open/close and it doesn&#039;t seem like it will ever end, but what would work better?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sad to see so many local small businesses go under. So much more as it seems discretionary. It seems the Party picks the winners. These politicians and their minions are disconnected from the people they supposedly represent. Time for a house cleaning. The good people of Canada, and here in the US need to get involved as we can no longer assume that the interest of constituents are being looked after. Why can we cram elbow to elbow in a plane but not sit distanced in many small businesses?]]></description>
