End all COVID restrictions now, says Maxime Bernier
COVID lockdowns don t work, People s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier told crowds in Kelowna, Vernon and Kamloops on Friday. Lockdowns are an experiment that failed, said the Beaucu, Quebec-based politician, who is also a leader with the non-partisan End the Lockdowns Caucus of Liberty Coalition Canada. We need to reopen the economy and gain back our freedom. We can end lockdowns and stay-at-home orders safely and let people go back to work, students go back to school and churches and businesses to reopen.
Bernier met with a crowd of mostly unmasked 30 supporters Friday morning outdoors on the plaza of the Landmark 6 office building in Kelowna before heading off to similar rallies in Vernon and Kamloops.
louisiana shoreline by tomorrow. there is apparently five times as much oil leaking as originally estimated. it s headed straight for a wildlife refuge. oyster beds, fisheries, volunteers have prepared to deploy oil-skimming booms along the shore, and may face a major battle. the blown-out oil rig may be dumping more than 200,000 gallons of crude oil into the gulf every day, enough to fill an olympic size swimming pool to a depth of two feet. and of course, 11 people who were on the drilling platform have never been found. some workers who managed to escape are having trouble coping with what happened. carlos may ramos escaped the blast, but his wife says it s haunting him. people were on fire, jumping overboard. he s at home right now with our baby, and if there is a loud noise, he drops. if there is a heavy toy that s dropped, he s started. i m hoping these men can all get help. the human impact of the story, okay? ramos is talking to a lawyer about a possible lawsuit.
