Remember this time in our collective history. Remember the pandemic and the voices who demanded cancellation, banning, demonetization. Remember the voices who demanded you be penalized for not conforming to their narrative. Remember the voices who demanded you put something into your body, whether you wanted to or not. Never forget their names, their persona’s,…
A typical week for my kids, last year, before everything went bonkers, is as follows…
Old timetable
Monday -band practice (they played in a local band that performed at Xmas events, etc)
Tuesday -soccer practice
Wednesday -free
Thursday -tennis practice, girl guides kitchin
Saturday -soccer
Sunday -free (sometimes skiing, or off road motorcycles)
My kids are not allowed to participate in any of the above activities on any official basis anymore.
New timetable
Monday -tennis practice (this is due to a dedicated coach making it happen)
Tuesday to Friday -free
Saturday -meet up with other teens with similar circumstances.
Sunday -free (sometimes offroad motorcycling on a friends farm)
We have pulled our kids out of school this year and put them into a dedicated online school because of all the disruption caused by sudden lockdowns, and a school that couldn’t cope. We also wanted to avoid any discrimination about their status.
(At this point, schools are running again with restrictions, but this can change overnight.)
The biggest concern we did have for our kids was the social isolation. Therefore, we started a teen group for them, where we meet up every week for a BBQ and a game of some sorts.
As an indication of where NZ sits these day’s compared to other countries, I’ve researched the requirements for Girl Guides around the world.…
New Zealand, all children must be vaccinated, regardless of age on this page…
“Anyone who is 12 years and 3 months or older will need a valid My Vaccine Pass to participate in person. This includes girls, leaders and parents who come into the meeting space (for example, to drop off or pick up girls of all ages). “
The Canadian Truckers protest has become an inspiration for others around the world.
It’s notable that the Canadian Government, along with a complicit media have been trying to discredit the protest with various tactics. I don’t know how this will all play out in the end, but the protest has already had some tangible results.
1) Quebec has dropped the tax of the unvaccinated 2) Saskatchewan is pledging to scrap V passports by Feb. 28 3) O’Toole has been voted out as Conservative leader 4) Alberta are going to scrap V passports
It also appears that the Canadian Prime Minister is losing control of the narrative as shown by the link below..
This has inspired a truckers protest here in New Zealand, which is still underway as I write this. They are starting from towns all over the country, and are headed for Parliament in Wellington.
It went thru our area late yesterday, so I joined up with a bunch of like-minded protesters in support as they went past.
Of some interest is the changing attitude in New Zealand. Most of the other motorists were either neutral or supportive. It took about 10-15 minutes for all the protest vehicles to go past, and they were quite spread out.
There is even talk of a political parties MP’s (members of parliament) going to talk to the protesters when they get to Parliament in Wellington.
This is in stark contrast to the 15,000 peaceful protesters , who were ignored two months ago.
The story behind this submission of his, is that New Zealand’s largest company is attempting to mandate vaccinations to all of thier staff, contractors , and suppliers.
This is a submission against that proposal
