I just went to a movie at TIFF, "I'm Still Here", based on the 1970 true story of a Brazilian family of seven, torn apart by the fascist military dictatorship. Police took the father, a former Labour congressman, out of his home without arresting or charging him, tortured him to death, disappeared his body and then denied that he had even been taken to the police station despite the blatant evidence of his car being in the parking lot of the police station and the testimony of another prisoner in the adjacent cell. His wife went back to school, obtained a law degree and fought for 25 years to get her husband's death certificate from the government and obtained convictions of the three men who had murdered her husband. His 'crime' was that he was part of a supportive network of people passing letters and information back and forth between families of former journalists, writers, lawyers and politicians who were targeted and had fled Brazil to avoid torture and murder by those psychopathic tyrants. Despite convictions by the 2014 government, the three murderers have never been arrested. Your post tells me that the BC health authorities and police are no different than those psychopathic tyrants.

Judging from afar, and purely on the basis of what can be gleaned from the comments on sites like this one, it seems most of those trapped in that hell zone which is the dying wester world still don't grasp what that liminal space is all about.

To describe it as mere 'abuse of power' or 'arbitrary exercise thereof' is to totally confuse the issue - and the consequences thereof.

Overstepping whatever line there may be between 'social engineering' and the draconian enforcement of cultural norms foreign to what most understand to be implicit to being and/or remaining 'human,' politicos and their 'security' enforcers have teamed up with a third element - the doctor mafiya - for purpose of imposing the MEDICAL TERROR STATE. Birthed in 2020, it's only in it's infancy - yet. As it's presence grows clearer, even eventually to those still parked behind the wheels of their nostalgic fantasies of former times and better days, the few remaining restrictions on that western-wide terror state/state of terror will be lifted.

And those who comfortably considered themselves to be merely 'reading' about the travails of certain 'targeted individuals' will at last see the kafkaesque transformation of their world into the baroque nightmare it has become; taken form without need of their permission - or even acknowledgement. Even those who sought shelter in their naive desire to believe the pledges of some politico to 'restore normalcy' or 'bring back the past' will finally be plunged into the icy bath of a reality wherein all the talking heads are recognized as uniformly servile minions of the very same dark lords who arranged this carnival of souls in the first place.
