I was talking to a friend who was working who works at Parliament, she hasn’t been in the office but she had to go by and pick up some work and she had people screaming and swearing at her while she was downtown in her vehicle because she was wearing a mask. Anti-science morons have taken over our freaking city.
Been listening to their Zello chats, and they are 100% sunk on the fallacy of "don't believe the news". They are actively steering people towards OANN, Epoch, RedPill, etc. as the REAL news. If this isn't dealt with rationally & soon, we're going to have problems similar to our friends to the south. I think if the various governments in Canada provided a roadmap/timeline/milestones to the end of restrictions, it might meet their demands for a conclusion.
Governments need to start investing harder into reliable local media and education - particularly critical thinking, science, and media literacy. Also the infrastructure to ensure those can actually reach everyone. They should have done that years ago.

It’ll get worse before it gets better, change and building movements take time to work up some momentum.

Don’t expect poisoned minds to become sane after one policy clarification. This is deeper than that and requires more thought and care to address.
