@Nex,
That's it though isn't it, the reality is, making people who travel (who shouldn't be travelling) spend a few days in a hotel while extra testing is carried out, for the benefit of the wider community and country as a whole hardly warrants the harsh language you seem to be adopting to push this harsher tone narrative (hilariously, you're usually the one bringing up narratives).

Let's be honest, you could apply harsh language to a variety of things in this world but it comes down to is it justified or not and does a given thing or situation call for such language.

So you keep pushing the use of words like internment & covid camps to try and stoke fear as if it's somehow comparable to concentration camps through history when in reality, this is nothing like that. You pull things out of context with references to the 'great reset' as another example, to make it out to be something it's not.

It's unnecessary so I'm going to ask you to stop, if you have an issue with that, feel free to take that up with FMR. If you want to push for such harsh and in this case unnecessary language then perhaps find a message board that likes to discuss such things in unnecessarily strong ways, and enjoys discussing conspiracies, to fear-monger and so on, but as far as the Off Topic forum of the RuneScape message boards are concerned, we can have civilized conversations here about Covid, about the latest measures such as these hotel restrictions without blowing it up into something more than what it is.

Sorry, but imo being vegan is a lifestyle choice and not a medical requirement.
I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you but such a diet can be based on personal beliefs in the same way that religion can change the way you eat / what you eat and I would want that to also be respected as well, despite not being religious myself.

Having said that, what you also need to consider with specialized diets is, people can build up a a level of intolerance to certain types of foods after a while. E.g a person who is vegan may find after some time they react & become ill when eating dairy for the first time in a long time so that also can't be ignored.

And in these cases, as far as I'm aware, this isn't tax-funded - those who chose to travel and then need to stay in a hotel for a few nights as per the new measures are paying for that which I assume the cost of food is included.

There's no additional testing, other than taking your temperature.

If you have money, you don't have to stay in the covid camps. You can just pay the fine for not going there. It's not about "the benefit of the wider community and country as a whole" if a simple payment can bypass it, is it? If it were for the benefit of everyone else, there wouldn't be an option to pay your way out of it, would there? Or does money somehow prevent the spread of the virus?

How did I take it out of context? I've repeatedly stated that it's the things beyond the virus that worry me the most. You ask what that is. I explain it's referencing the great reset, and am labeled a conspiracy theorist, so I explicitly display a video of Trudeau explaining that the pandemic "is an opportunity for a great reset". Rather than accept that your government has something else in mind, you claim I'm taking it out of context. Your cognitive dissonance won't let you admit that your government is using the pandemic for their own personal political purposes. Instead, you have to claim I "pull things out of context" in order to "make it something that's not"... even when the evidence is served up directly to you. Your prime minister literally confirmed what I was claiming, but you're refusing to admit it.

I can back up any claim I make with a citation. If you need a citation, ask.
I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great! :)

Sure, if you have up to $750,000 that you're willing to pay, as well as up to 6 months in prison. That's if you're not found to have cause harm or death to another person as a result of not isolating, in which case, the fine is up to $1m and 3 years in prison.

We've already been over this 'reset' topic. Many seem to think it's some great conspiracy of something bigger going on, like Covid was planned all along, there's this higher, greater plan to control human civilization and so on. To reference it in such sinister terms and then provide a 'citation' of a leader saying it as some sort of proof of its more conspiratorial context is ridiculous, because your 'citation' does not have it mentioned in the same sort of sinister way, the context is completely different.

It's not just one thing with you either, it's a combination of 100 different things that paint a picture, like how in your posts above you say "your government", "your prime minister" when I know that you know I live in Canada. You know that I know you also live in Canada. So either you're forgetting that or it's another anti-government message on top of everything else and you do not wish to accept reality that it's also your government as well. Anyway, perhaps that's too political so taking a step back from that.

You ask for a citation regarding hotels, what is it you're after exactly? It's fairly public knowledge that those who travel have to book a hotel upon return at their own expense, that expense being to cover the cost of their stay and has been widely reported, the cost of their food so not sure why you're asking for a citation for this.

The only thing I'm not 100% on is if anything is subsidized by the government but I've not seen any reporting on this and based on the cost someone has to pay for the hotel, seems unlikely.

PM, health officials warn Canadians against believing COVID-19 'internment camps' disinformation

Disinformation campaign falsely suggests Canadians will be forcibly sent to quarantine sites

John Paul Tasker · CBC News · Posted: Oct 20, 2020 3:17 PM ET

Canadians will not be forced into COVID-19 internment or containment camps, a spokesperson for Health Minister Patty Hajdu said Tuesday — taking aim at a disinformation campaign that has been circulating on social media for weeks.
That's right! They're hotels! Not camps! COMPLY!



Trudeau warns Canadians not to believe COVID-19 ‘internment camps’ rumours

Original message details are unavailable.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned Canadians on Tuesday not to believe and spread “harmful misinformation” and conspiracy theories that the federal government is preparing internment camps to limit the spread of COVID
They're isolation centers, not internment camps! COMPLY!



"Don't worry, we won't do this"

Then they do it.


But don't worry, they're calling it something different, so, that makes it different, right?

It's not a "camp" because it's in a "hotel", so, it's a "vacation" (see how that works?). It's nothing more than word games to justify what they claimed they wouldn't be doing, but are now doing, they're just calling it something else.

They're not jails, you're just not allowed to leave, or have any visitors, or open the door other than when you're told to open the door for meals and temperature checks.


Is it any wonder that they're trying to conceal the locations of these "isolation centers" in Canada, when they've already claimed that they wouldn't be setting them up?

Agenda 21 is not a conspiracy theory. It's the UN's literal agenda. That's the great reset that Trudeau and other world leaders that belong to the UN have been talking about. It's not a conspiracy theory.

Yeah, it's almost like I'm highlighting the fact that this stuff is happening in YOUR country. These are things that YOU as a Canadian should know about. These are things that directly will affect YOU. This is what I'm trying to highlight.

I don't need to highlight it to myself, I already know.

Cite me the source for that information. I'm assuming that because this a government regulation, that you will be able to cite a government source for this information. It's "fairly public knowledge" so I'm sure you'll have no problem with that.

Look, you've been asked to stop using unnecessarily harsh language to try and make out things are much worse than what they are. It's been widely reported that hotel quarantine measures were being implemented today and advance notice was given and it was clear. Should you choose to travel against current advice, upon return you'll need to spend a few nights at a hotel (a place where people normally stay when they're away from home) as a precaution.

To start using harsher language to try and stoke fear that it's somehow something more than the above, or something worse than the above is not going to fly here. Using 'internment camps', or 'covid camps' can lead to people drawing parallels to more serious events in history such as concentration camps etc which is not what this is.

If people are that concerned with staying in a hotel for a few nights, perhaps they should just not travel, as is the advice anyway? Just an idea.

So, you can cite your news articles, you can pull up reasons and technicalities for why you think you're right and always right, but it doesn't change that you've been asked to stop. That's the bottom line. Ok? Thank you. If you have such an urge to post such remarks, perhaps find a more suitable message board on the Internet that is along that tone.
