Something was different today. They were reporting on mandates being lifted by provinces, what's going on with protests, and the vote on the Emergency Measures Act. I can't exactly pinpoint it specifically with cold, hard evidence, but it's extremely noticeable about the overall TONE. I heard it in the voices of the on-air hosts and reporters as well as the controlled "experts" being interviewed: the sound of people who know they are facing imminent defeat. The word DOOMING came to mind. This is the first time I've heard such tone in such a pervasive extent.
This tells me that they truly believed their own propaganda, but more importantly, it told me that We the People are prevailing ...
And they can barely hide it anymore!
Glorious!

I hope your observation is right. Down here in the lower 48 States it seems the propaganda machine is still running with oiled precision, at least among people who still subscribe to the nonsense. My home state has banned mask and vaxx mandates, but of course I still see them around.
And among some local groups, they never will relinquish their fear mentality because it brings meaning to their otherwise empty little lives. Example: my wife is a talented singer and has done community theater for longer than I have known her. Her theater group is planning a Summer show and she still can't get an answer from them whether she can rehearse and perform with them.... she's unvaxx'ed and will refuse to be vaxx'ed. This apparently doesn't sit well with the terrified "heroes" of the left. It is an affront to their self-delusion of being heroes of the community, for the greater good, not being selfish, and just being obedient little proletariat robots.
Try is plandemic has shown us all a side of human nature that is simply appalling!! The vitriol vaxed scared people hurl is shocking, and the desire of the masses to submit to Tyranny so They can feel “safe” is beyond the pale.
I remember Rush Limbaugh used to say, when speaking of the leftist mob, that everyone wants their life to have meaning. This plandemic has given even the most retarded basement dwelling leftist a platform on which he or she can claim HERO status, merely by obeying government mandates.
I have seen folks I've known for a long, long time... people who once prided themselves on their counterculture status, defying "the man," and all that, suddenly become agents of the state and ostracizing anyone who defies the mandates or declares personal body autonomy. I suspect that they were never really all that "counterculture" in the first place, they paid no actual price for their poses, they weren't hauled off to jail or any kind of price paid.... so they could AFFORD to pose as counterculture.
I know realize that they were all frauds all along.

YES. THIS. This whole plandemic has been a devilsend for the "Govern Me Harder, Daddy" crowd who have been conditioned by the media to live on the internet and consoom product.
some people come alive in a crisis cos they can distract themselves from how miserable their lives are.
Unfortuately I have noted the same thing about my long term friends - we always questioned "the man" and knew the government only cared about getting their hands on our money and made laws to "control" us, not protect us but covid fear destroyed their discernment and common sense. It has been a lonely war and even when we "win" the chances of being a united people in a united country is not the outcome I visualize. I hope I am wrong about that.
Everyone, leftist or not, wants their life to have meaning - See Viktor Frankl Man's Search for Meaning https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/3389674-trotzdem-ja-zum-leben-sagen-ein-psychologe-erlebt-das-konzentrationslag, which was a very helpful book for me during a trying time in my life.
Example quote: "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to chose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way"
The trouble with leftists is, they give this last freedom away. They want someone else to dictate their meaning. They choose victimhood and slavery, and let others dictate their "attitude"
I remember the first time I heard that quote, it was so impactful. Never lost a bit of that impact to this day. Thanks for spreading it.
That's one of the basic tenets of the philosophy of Stoicism. Basically you are in charge of how you feel, not external circumstances.
Jesus taught much the same when he said in Matthew 6: "25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"
"I have seen folks I've known for a long, long time... people who once prided themselves on their counterculture status, defying "the man," and all that, suddenly become agents of the state and ostracizing anyone who defies the mandates or declares personal body autonomy."
You just blew my mind. That is one of my best friends to a T!!
I've lost a lot of respect for him. Because he always acted like he was a classical liberal who was counter culture. Covid hits and he is a huge govt sycophant and ruled by fear. These last 2 years have been a huge litmus test to see what people are made of. I have become 100x more libertarian and distrusting of institutions, and am actively seeking autonomy whenever I can.
And I have a lot of friends who used to be strong, conservative Christians and wise people of faith who have succumbed to fear and groupthink, too. It is sad.
it's not a pandemic it's a litmus test!
Yep, all frauds. They weren't rebelling against the establishment, they were only trying to tear down the establishment where they themselves didn't feel important. It was never about the greater good, it was always about them.
