My wife did not work yesterday, so I found myself with insufficient time to make a post here that day.
I received a link to a most encouraging video that day ─ the link was sent by my older maternal half-sister. The video was evidently live-streamed on YouTube November 2nd, but it has a more permanent home at BitChute.com here: Urgent Action For Vancouver - For November 8th Sunday.
This was the YouTube description that accompanied the video:
Rally Nov 8 Vancouver Art Gallery. 12 noon. Please only use signs about Bonnie. This rally is for the sole reason to out Bonnie. We don't want to confuse the public about our messaging on this particular one. * Correction: No New Normal Rallies are from 1-3 pm every weekend. Nov 8th the Ban Bonnie Rally is at 12 noon.
"Bonnie" of course is B.C.'s Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry.
This was part of my response to my half-sister after I watched the 18-minute video:
I love this girl!
At first I thought that she was that nurse Erin Marie Olszewski who exposed New York's Elmhurst Hospital back in the Spring as detailed in this lengthy video. They look so very much alike ─ jump ahead to the four-minute and 25-second mark if you don't want to watch that far. The nurse even wears the same kind of cap!
But not only could they be sisters (if not even twins), the gal in your video even has a similar family name, for her name is Odessa Orlewicz. As I said, the American is Olszewski, and the Vancouver gal is Orlewicz ─ so strange. The courageous ladies even sound like the same person!
My half-sister said that she is considering attending the event ─ she lives in Langley. I live in Surrey, and would love to attend, too.
However, I do not drive, and thus far I have refused to wear a face mask ─ but public transit demands compliance in this regard, so I will not give BC Transit my custom. Neither do I shop anywhere that makes the same ridiculous demand.
My half-sister drives, but I am reluctant to ride with her if she intends to drive into Vancouver ─ I am 71 years old, but she is several years older than I am. I don't consider her to be particularly 'aware'.
I watched the video again at 10 a.m. this morning for the benefit of my younger brother, hoping he might feel inspired. He watched it, but he never displayed any inspirational investment, so I didn't probe for his overall impression.
Unfortunately, I suspect that Odessa was inflating the strength of any provincial populist movement to bring down the provincial 'pandemic' tyranny that we're under where nonsensical social distancing, face masking, and related restrictions are involved.
I don't see me attending the rally ─ not from way out here. Transitting to there is too much of a hurdle for me. And of course, after the event, I would be faced with getting all the way back home. I'm at the point in my life where the prospect of requiring the use of 'the facilities' while away from home for any extended time is a concern to me.
Even if I was to use public transportation, then I would be looking at a minimum of four hours just for the round trip once the involved walking is taken into account; and the rally will probably add more than another hour.
The SkyTrain is about a mile from my home, so I would have to walk to it; and once in Vancouver, I would have to walk from one of the stations to the Vancouver Art Gallery. I will not ride a bus ─ it is bad enough to have to ride SkyTrain; I refuse to compound my social discomfort by riding one of those usually overcrowded vehicles.
So I can't do it. I just can't 'hold it' that long. And I'm not sufficiently at ease socially to intrude into some coffee shop or similar venue just to impose myself and use its relief facilities.
Besides, I don't even go out around my home for walks because I can't stand all the traffic and overpopulation that I'm helplessly immersed into. Instead of pleasurable release, daytime walks are a source of enormous stress for me.
The prospect of what is tantamount to donating an entire day to subject myself to masses and masses of people is almost a horrifying prospect. Since my retirement in earliest April 2011, I have grown markedly reclusive. It's about all I can do anymore to get out in the early a.m. on Saturday and / or Sunday to do any shopping I want done.
Making my way to downtown Vancouver via public transit is not within my realm of the achievable anymore. The only way I would be able to handle doing it is if I was travelling with a close companion. But as I already said, I refuse to wear a face mask, and it is a requirement for public transit.
What I need is a satellite rally out here in Surrey ─ I just can't bear getting myself downtown.
Odessa Orlewicz is in the fore of Liberty Talk Canada (or LibertyTalkCanada). They don't ─ or she doesn't ─ have a website. Instead, the reliance is placed upon Facebook, YouTube, and BitChute.
I may subscribe to BitChute ─ I am sufficiently interested in what Odessa has to offer. Heck, if I really approve of her agenda and find myself aligned and believing in her sincerity, I might even make an occasional ─ albeit very small ─ donation, something I normally do not do just for causes.
It is presently 6:30 p.m. and I have some exercising to get out of the way so as to clear up my evening, thereby allowing me to hightail it to bed once I notice my younger brother arriving home from wherever it is that he will have been drinking. He headed away before the noon hour had expired today ─ in other words, exceptionally early. He had an assignation to play pool at one of the pubs he frequents.
My wife needed to work today, so she left us no later than 10:30 a.m. on her rather long drive to the Thai restaurant that employs her part-time.
As for my brother, with such an early start at his daily imbibition of beer, I cannot conceive but that he will be company that is best avoided this evening. Anyway, I appreciate getting to bed early rather than to be sitting up late, for I have quite taken to working on my two remaining websites in the weest a.m. hours when I have no interfering conflicts with anyone here in my household.
But to achieve those wee a.m. hours, I need to have had a little sleep beforehand.
So with that explained, I am bowing out right here.
