Who?

An emerging Michigan-based bodybuilding superstar. If you watched his other videos, you'd see he has overcome a lot. Seems like a good kid.

They have rights in Michigan. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit jealous.

1979 Grand Rapids from the George C. Scott movie "Hardcore" looks like modern-day Thunder Bay.

I should focus on finding a way to escape to the USA to live there. By 2030, Canada will either be free again, and similar to the USA, or a Western communist country on a social credit system. I'm only just barely thinking this is back to 50/50 odds with the trucker protest currently happening.

My line in the sand is whether or not forced vaccination in perpetuity in order to buy food becomes law here.

If so, there is no way around it - I have to move to the USA.

One of my favourite states for sure.

After watching the 1979 movie "Hardcore", I saw that there were neighbourhoods in Grand Rapids that look exactly like neighbourhoods here.

Big difference: you have freedom there.

Question: what's the Covid situation like now? From the videos Tr55 is posting, people seem mostly mask-free in gyms.

Is the hysteria voluntary there now?

Here in Ontario, our provincial government is doubling and tripling down:

https://twitter.com/Roman_Baber/status/1486140932273680386

Right now, I literally had to get a fake job as an equipment tester to be able to work out at my gym. Well...it's a real job, but can you believe that - having to use a loophole like that just to train?

And even then - gyms are closed until the 31st - even to the vaccinated!! And that's assuming that date isn't postponed, which it wouldn't surprise me if it is.

I pride myself in being my own man and everything - but I won't be able to find loopholes when they start sending the army door to door to jab people. And that wouldn't surprise me AT ALL if that happens.

Are the good people of Michigan just moving on with their lives more or less? Or are they double masked despite being triple jabbed, and hiding in their homes?

Thunder Bay Wal-Mart - when I went there for a haircut last Thursday, I only saw ONE other person unmasked. Out of however many are in Wal-Mart at any given time. Maybe 300?

Is there ANY state in the USA that is this insane?:

Since Omicron starting spreading rapidly, I've noticed more masks in the gyms but they are definitely in the minority.  Very few places here in Michigan require proof of vax or recent test to enter.  The only place I can think of is the theater we are going to in a couple weeks to see a live performance.  This place also will require masks whether vaxxed or not.  Also, very few places here require masks.  I don't wear mine at the gym but admittedly will put it on when I go into the grocery store.  Doesn't hurt me to do it and I figure the people working there have to wear one for 8 hours so I can wear one for 20 minutes.  My choice.  Overall, to answer your question, it has felt pretty normal here in Michigan since the summer.  The biggest pain in my ass is that my Tim Hortons has drastically reduced their hours and I am forced to get dunkin donuts coffee more often than I'd like.  :)

That's amazing to be in a place that is sane. Grand Rapids is looking better and better all the time.

Canada is doubling and tripling down on the insanity. I can't tell what's up - the leaders could be mad they backed a moronic position for so long...they could want to punish the unvaccinated...or maybe we will be getting a Chinese style social credit system soon.

Holy shit, that's amazing.

You have a solid 28M+ people, a massive land mass, a huge amount of resources, and I'm not sure if this is disclosed - but I have no doubt that Texas is a nuclear power.

I have never been more jealous of Americans in my life than I am right now.

I predict an armed conflict between myself and police. I can't fathom being around for more than ten more years if Canada does this - either dead or in jail.

Uprooting everything and moving completely is not something I ever wanted to do. Until now. I can do nothing less than strongly consider it at this point.  :-\

Matt ain't no civilian. He's a highly trained ex-local reservist. Let me just say that Matt is the best combat vet I've ever seen. A pure fighting machine with only a desire to win a war that someone else lost. And if winning means he has to die, he'll die. No fear, no regrets. And one more thing: what you choose to call hell, he calls home.

That's a really good question, Rambone.

I only had very few bad experiences - but with nobody of note. I won't mention them only because I think part of the reason for their bas attitude might be due to being at a crowded, fart-filled expo all day.

Rich Piana was always nice, and always granted me an interview. I did interview him in 2012-2013 [sort of before he was famous / just on his rise], but he was gracious to everyone, IMO. I don't know how that incident between him and Mac Truck happened.

Literally, my first time covering the Olympia [2010], I got interviews from Samir Bannout, Lee Labrada, and others - even though I had no background in vlogging. I think just being respectful goes a long.

The autism helped me in one way - I knew the dates, locations, and contest histories of so many pros, going down to obscure details, that people thought I knew them better than good friends did.

Dave Henry took with me, having recognized me from Getbig - but at the time, it was during a period where I had stopped posting here myself, and when he heard that, suddenly things were on great between us.  ;D

Frankly, I have never understood the Dave Henry bashing on here. Great physique.

Lastly [for now], I think YouTube is terribly censorious. Look at the RIDICULOUS example of censorship below - and that is why I've never been able to bring myself to post on YouTube again:

I found a couple to fill in the gaps too!

All credit to my dad for lining those up like that. He used a laser pointer and everything. He has been a carpenter since age 20 [he's 63 now], and knows his stuff.

It was amazing to me how much those awards being up helped me feel motivated to do things in the past.

Not anymore.

I feel we live under law by mob rule in Canada right now, nothing more.

The laws on mask exemptions are crystal clear in Canada - and Trudeau stating anything else is just that - a statement holding no legal basis.

IF Canada makes it out of this Covid disaster [that is yet to be seen], there are going to be so many people who have lawsuits for all the laws broken during this fake crisis, encouraged by government at the highest levels to do so.

https://projectprotech.ca/community-news/trudeaus-vaccine-promise-that-wasnt-made-to-be-kept/

^ See what happens when you blatantly break the law?

We have a process in Canada to do these things. That process may not be perfect, but it wasn't used AT ALL this whole time.

Our government took a huge gamble thinking they could get away with this. And that gamble is only now starting to turn.

My gut feeling is that with this convoy, Canada has now reached the tipping point and Trudeau won't be around much longer- at least not in a position of influence.. Just a notion. He literally has shown himself to be a complete pussy. Much like Biden has shown he is a complete asshole.

You made a good point that I don't think is made enough:

I don't think Justin Trudeau is a particular "nice" guy.

I'd say he's very much a controlling authoritarian scumbag. Ditto for Joe Biden.

I'd be curious if these things were put to explicit democratic votes, how people would vote on it.

I bet most Canadian Liberals would vote yes to this overreach...and then flee to a more right-wing provinces later.
