Today, March 1st, is supposed to be a day of new freedoms in Ontario. These freedoms are being “given” by a government and bureaucracy that has no authority to give, let alone remove them, in the first place.
I propose that March first become a day of memory, a day to remember the loss of so much that will not soon be reclaimed. It should also be a day to remind those who did this to us:
- The loss of faith to fear.
- The loss of family
- The loss of choice due to the loss of bodily autonomy
- The loss of life to a treatable disease
- The loss of life due to medical interventions that were inappropriate, unnecessary, and politically driven
- The loss of life due to needlessly cancelled surgeries
- The loss of free expression and thought
- The loss of freedom to travel
- The loss of freedom to gather with others
- The loss of grandparents
- The loss of God-given freedoms and liberties
- The loss of trust and respect of science
- The lost of what remained of trust in journalism
- The loss of integrity in law and political process
- The loss of community
- The loss of employment
- The loss of homes
- The loss of education and career opportunities
- The loss of confidence in critical thinking
- The loss of respect of law enforcement
- The loss of the church’s obedience to Christ and witness in the community
- The loss of the elderly of the children
- The loss of children of their elders
- The loss of truth
- The loss of well-being: mental, physical, spiritual, and social
- The loss of hope
- The loss of kindness
It should also be a time to remember the gains:
- The gain of wealth by a few at the expense of millions
- The gain of power and control over the story of the past two years by a tiny minority
- The gain of State authority over every detail of life
- The gain of the power of lies
- The gain of drug abuse
- The gain of suicide
- The gain of abuse
I intend to mark the names of politicians and bureaucrats who have inflicted this upon the citizens of Ontario without consequence to themselves. I will send this email each March to each one of them every year.
