A video emerged on social media last weekend that was widely criticized as an example of police aggression to fight the COVID War.
COVID Cops in Gatineau, Quebec, were informed by a neighbor about a house party on New Year’s Eve. Police officers arrived at the home and said they found six individuals from six different households, which violates the province’s COVID guidelines.
CBC News reported Gatineau police said the confrontation escalated after one of the responding officers was assaulted by a person inside the home. Police said charges will likely be announced.
Mathieu Tessier, one of the two occupants arrested, told CBC News it was the police who were the aggressors. He said an officer grabbed his mother and treated those inside the house “like animals, like criminals.”
RT.com reported some social media users also took issue with the neighbor who had informed police about the party. One commenter wrote, “Tale as old as time: miserable people ratting on happy people aka misery loves company.”
The police were also called out after eagle-eyed viewers noticed that some of the officers were not wearing face masks. The department said they didn’t have time to put them on because “they were called as back up and due to the emergency.”
TRENDPOST: Canada, a nation of 38 million people, has registered 16,074 deaths since the virus broke out or 0.042 percent of the population.
And who is dying from the virus in Canada? As with the rest of the world, mostly the elderly. According to the National Institute on Ageing, 70 percent of Canada’s COVID deaths are attributed to long-term care homes.
As reported in the Wall Street Journal last week,
“An analysis published in November in the Journal of Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine looked at a dozen Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development member countries and found the Covid-19 mortality rate among long-term care residents was more than 20 times higher than that among older people living outside such facilities.”
Yet, rather than developing strategies to assist those most at risk, Canada, as with most nations, punishes its people for minor infractions while locking down the entire nation, destroying businesses, lives, and livelihoods.
Indeed, the WSJ quoted Joseph Ibrahim, a professor focused on health law and aging at Monash University in Australia, who said, “Long-term care is forgotten, neglected, at the bottom of the list for almost every country when you look at the data.”
