My 87 year old mother called me to tell me she had an off phone call today from
Save-On-Foods pharmacy. They told her they were offering a $300 vaxx to her age group for FREE. WOOHOO free stuff. I am glad she called me because firstly, she had no idea what they would be vaccinating her for (she is currently sick with some sort of respiratory illness) and secondly wasn’t sure if she already had a shot. I called Save On to see what they were offering (haven’t heard back yet) so I checked online and it’s the RSV shot, something she doesn’t need because she has probably had it and has antibodies and secondly she’s sick so NO. She says “but it’s a good deal, FREE. After all we have been through, after all the illness and deaths she was still thinking about it, unbelievable. I told her if she’s currently sick with RSV and gets a shot it could kill, her a lie I know but what the hell. you never know. She’s not getting the free shot but I’m thinking it’s going to expire soon and they have to get it into arms to have it covered by Heath Canada.

she paid attention.
She didn’t “flip overnight.”
She didn’t rage-quit out of anger.
She noticed patterns. She questioned narratives. She followed her intuition when things stopped making sense.
Woman: "Hi everyone, I have been so inspired by Brandon’s hashtag “left the Democratic Party” … why I left … and I thought I’d get on here and share my own story. It’s pretty personal, but for most of my adult life I was a deep blue Democrat. I was raised by a mother who was on welfare and really sucked the system for food stamps and all of the things and she was a big, big Democrat. Like, Obama was her man—Obamacare and everything. And so I always voted Democrat. I really didn’t question it. I just ...
