Travel Ban.

As if it wasn't a Police State enough before with all the "pandemic" restrictions, mandates, lockdowns, etc, but now both the provincial and federal gov'ts have a travel ban ,too(even though travel only accounts for 1-2 % of the Corona virus cases), and have prohibited airlines from flying out of this country to the sunny tropical destination spots(such as the Caribbean) people typically go to in the winter to get away until at least the end of April (and by then winter is over,anyway) so basically efectively banning all tropical winter travel, so now everyone is stuck  in this tyranical shithole lockdown and can't even get away, plus on top of that they ordered that all international arrivals into the country incl. returning travellers must get a mandatory Corona virus test at the airport upon arrival and are forced  to quarantine at a certain hotel under guard costing 2K of their own expense! It sounds more like jailed to me! WTF? This is seriously a violation of our rights and freedoms, such as the right of mobility; now we can't even leave the country; it's like North Korea or something! I wonder what a bunch of my cousins are going to do; they've booked 2 cruises again; one for later this year and one for next year? They fly out of Buffalo though as it costs much less( half as much!) as it does flying out of here and they even said on the news that Canadians pay the highest airfares in the world( it's the same for cell phones.) We're always getting ripped-off! This place sucks  and now we can't even leave  and are just stuck here!!

My friend T ( in Ottawa) says people that travel in this time are "selfish" too but I don't think so; they just need a break and need to get away from all this insanity and all this Big Brother banning, regulating, controlling, mandating, and over-seeing everything, so tightly micro-managing and intruding into every aspect of our lives, and my idea is just to by-pass it;there's almost always a loophole, you just have to find it; in this case flights still are allowed to USA for example, so what I'd do (if I had the $$$) is book a flight to Miami, for example, and then from Miami book another one to Jamaica and just continue on from there, so that Jamaica is my final destination, but as far as the authorities here know they think I'm just going to Florida. The same for large gatherings and the police fining people for having morre than  their own household members in their homes: still have guests over but just tell them to park their cars in various other locations and not in your driveway or on your street so that nosey parkers won't notice and be suspicious and report you. It's all about being careful, knowing what to do, finding ways around the restrictions, evading the authorities, and still  maintaining your freedom underground. LIVE FREE OR DIE!!!!

It's sooooo bone-chilling cold the past 2 days -25 C with wind-chill I call them Burrow Days; days where you just burrow under every single blanket you have trying to keep warm all day, kind of like hibernating, and I still have what I call my Partime Cold  where 2/3 3/4 of the time the left side of my nose is always blocked and I'm stuffy and congested....but only on that one side....and it's not a sinus infection as that would be both sides and I don't have any thick smelly nasal discharge, just clear, so maybe it's nasal polyps or something or maybe even a tumour, and the thought occurred to me the other day too that dying is like taking a photo-click- in an instant the image is transformed into another realm. My hubby also decided to move his home office from the basement to the sewing room upstairs; to switch the rooms(he always needs some sort of big project to work on to keep him busy) as it's a bigger and warmer room) and yesterday when my mother ran out of coffee he quickly ran to the store to buy her more but I'm also running out of my drink too and when I reminded him to pick up mine he brushed it off and snapped, I know what you want. Shut up about it already!  and isn't in any hurry and doesn't care if I run out and get dehydrated. She should have been his mother, not mine.

I do still have it.. underneath of my every day activities even though it's been suppressed for so long. She's still under there somewhere, hidden there someplace. She never left. She's just watching and waiting.
