Feb 15th, 2022: Let Us Move On With Righteousness and Peace
What we are dealing with now has very little to do with the vaccine mandate alone. It is about how a government has lost its trust in people after it introduced a series of unjust legislation. The anger we see is about how our government has become coercive and treated its people. The lack of wisdom is evident in how the Prime Minister manages this crisis.
We don't have a democracy if we don't have law and order. We also lose our democracy if we don't have the freedom to object to the law based on our conscience. We don't have to agree to live together in a democratic society. However, that is not what we have seen recently. When we take their stand on a moral issue, we have to face threats by this very government to be banned, marginalized, and punished. Law and order will be coercive in the absence of righteousness.
It is time for the government to introduce a plan of taking down the various restrictions concerning the pandemic. It is no point to demand a specific group of people to be fully vaccinated (whatever that means) to do their job.
Here is what Dr. Lynora Saxinger, an infectious diseases specialist and associate professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, has to say:
"Do I think an individual group of thousands of people being vaccinated or not will materially affect the shape of the pandemic in the next short while? Not really"
I wish that all truckers could go home and be with their families. They can go back to their daily work. People of Ottawa can have peace back. It is time to stop this whole tense situation. We are entering a endemic phase. Let us face that together with a healthy economy and a happier population.
Notes: After the vote today in the house, we realize the issue now is about power not health. Many countries have begun their process of easing their restrictions. We see the opposite in Canada. Our government with the help of the NDP has refused to table a plan to do that. Why not? Invoking the Emergencies Act is the last thing we need.
Colossians 3: 13
"Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."
James 1: 19-21
"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls."
