I am unvaccinated. This is the one about Covid protesters.
Ryan Kulbaba and The Bee
In 2017 I began texting online with a man named Ryan Kulbaba.
He wanted to date me, we meet thru an online dating app. I refused his offers, mostly because he is nearly 10 years younger than me. He has a thing for “older” women. Until finally, after much persistence on his part, I decided to meet him in person in the Summer of 2019.
Ryan and I began a casual relationship on and off. If you wonder why – he was a fun guy to get drunk with and listen to 80s music with, and well that body of his helped.
Serious commitment relationships aren’t my jam. (Anymore.)
I am a free agent.
It’s not that I am not open to relationships, I just never come even close to finding anyone I am willing to risk literally everything for. I told Ryan from the get go, it was casual between us, but we had to be upfront and real with each other for that to work.
In the Time of COVID
When the 2020 Covid Lockdowns happened in March and April 2020 – Ryan decided to start a protest group. The protests started small in Surrey B.C. out by Guildford Mall, and I remember helping him figure out the best street corner to use. He eventually merged with other larger protest groups and they became larger events in Vancouver and around BC. Some even across Canada.
I never attended any of his protests, which was a massive thorn in Ryan’s side.
Supported the cause, sure, but I couldn’t afford to get fired over it, and my boss (at that time) had threatened to fire me if he learned of my attending such protests. Which is a whole other story.
Plus, some of the folks it attracted were sketchy and I just didn’t want to hang out with people that believed in flat-earth or other fringe types of people.
Mainly, as you know from my writings, I am a massively anti-social hermit on a good day. With my high functioning anxiety, peopling isn’t my jam.
Ryan and my friends on Facebook got into a few heated debates in my comments, and I was “unfriended” over it, by a few of my so-called friends. (Many of whom I am back friends with now on FB strangely.)
By Summer 2020 Ryan and I had decided to part ways, when he began a committed public serious relationship with another woman. Ryan’s protest group, and the protests he led, became rather large and garnered a bit of news coverage over those next months.
Freedom
- 2020 September 13th a large rally was held at Vancouver Art Gallery “Several hundred protestors march in largest anti-mask rally to date” At one point in the demonstration an upwards of 700 Vancouver protestors – according to a VPD tally – joined together in the singing of “O Canada.”
- 2020 September 19th – Ryan Kulbaba does a podcast with Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson another former Vancouverite that was involved in the Protests. I am sure there are quite a few videos on YouTube of him talking on other “questionable” podcasts. So much so, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network group put him on their radar.
These were the things I didn’t want to be associated with. I didn’t want a target on me. As I knew Ryan BEFORE all this started, back when we would hang out, get drunk and high, and talk about Aliens and shit. Listening to 80s music and chilling was my jam.
Protests
During 2020 October 17-18th There was the B.C. Freedom Mega Rally, which Ryan Kulbaba helped put together and he also spoke at. Held at the Vancouver Art Gallery in Vancouver it was a large event. There was a fundraiser to help with costs.
A large screen with video screen covered the Art Gallery, and streamed hosted talks from Del Bigtree, Robert Scott Bell, Dr. Rashid Buttar, may he rest in peace as well as David Icke, Mikki Willis, David Avocado Wolfe.
- 2020 November 20th article by The Georgia Straight “Antimaskers recommend violating B.C. public health order in stores and filming hospitals in pursuit of “human rights”” noted how Ryan had been banned from BC Ferries and from flying on WestJet airlines.
- 2020 November 24th article from The New Westminster Record “New Westminster café targeted by anti-mask protesters” describe how Ryan Kulbaba and his girlfriend harassed a small business cafe.
I disagreed with this tactic greatly. Harassing a small business owner isn’t cool in my eyes. I get that some may see this site as me harassing people. But I am just telling my life, events that happened, and my opinions. I also allow that my opinions can evolve in time. Lineal life is like that. When I am wrong I admit it.
- 2020 November 30th there is a video with Ryan explaining why he was banned from flying on an airline. In life you do, reap what you sow. It sucks but actions have consequences. He was willing to be the first wave of men on the beach, gunned down in the first battles.
- “Canucks cut ties with anthem singer Mark Donnelly over plan to sing at anti-mask rally” as it made the news that Mark Donnelly was going to be at the December 5th rally singing. Shit was going down.
- 2020, December 5th Christmas Rally at the Vancouver Art Gallery – Ryan held a fundraiser to collect funds for the Christmas event.
Scandal and infighting ensued over the funds raised by Ryan Kulbaba, and Ryan left the protest world by the end of 2020, amid scandal. Then more infighting ensued over the ending of his relationship with his girlfriend. Rumour mills – I heard all the goss.
Despite being involved in arranging a New Years Party downtown Vancouver December 31, 2020, Ryan did not attend and removed himself from all involvement.
2021 Here We Go Again
Ryan was single again by 2021. We reconnected and hung out once in a blue moon.
Eventually he got back into the protest stuff, more in the background though. Ryan was well aware of what I was going through with the MeToo accusations against Matthew Good. I am an honest person for the most part, and those around me know that about me – I don’t hide shit. Clearly.
Well – seemingly. Some stuff I am able to keep private, believe that or not.
By 2021 August – I created a website for Ryan’s protest group. He thanked me in a post on his Facebook. Many of his followers then attempted to “friend” me on Facebook. I was not into that, as I didn’t want to be that associated and involved, and in hindsight me giving him permission to name me, was a mistake. I just wanted to help him in someway and he was planning a podcast.
Then October 18th, 2021 Ryan Kulbaba publicly posted that he was feeling sick on his Facebook page.
- October 20, 2021 CTV News article “‘A severe flu?!’: Prominent anti-restriction activist from B.C. falls ill, reports symptoms consistent with COVID-19” reports on Ryan’s Facebook post and the comments on it.
- October 21, 2021 Georgia Straight article “Antilockdown activist Ryan Kulbaba describes feeling very sick and wonders if it’s a case of severe flu” reports on Ryan’s public Facebook post about him being sick.
Ryan was fired from his job over the articles.
His own fault really, he had gone to work while sick, and posted publicly about being sick, and that broke the company protocols. His fault, what did he expect? The news followed him.
Days later Ryan’s friend in the cause Mak Parhar, a Flat-Earth Yoga Studio Owner who was also sick at the same time, with Covid, suddenly died. People on social media celebrated his death, saying he died of Covid but turns out he didn’t – “Prominent B.C. anti-vaxxer died of fentanyl overdose, coroner rules.”
These events just showed me more just how divided society had become and how vile some people can be when they celebrate the death of a husband, a father and a total stranger – just because of differences in opinion. Yes, I do not believe in flat earth theories but I would never rejoice in a person’s death like that.
- As a side note, unfortunately in December 2021, there was a fatal error in code during an update, in the WordPress website I had made for Ryan, and I just didn’t see the sense in wasting time rebuilding it since Ryan never used it, as was intended, or really even ever noticed it was down.
- He was planning a YouTube blog but it took forever to get off the ground. Ryan tried using other social media like Twitter, but ultimately stuck to using Facebook due to his high follower count there.
- Just recently he attempted a Facebook podcast type of show about ‘dating’ and relationships, and abandoned it. Note: October 2023, he is doing more FB videos now. Maybe he read this page? LOL!
2022 Truck On
The Trucker Protest starts in Ottawa and BC’s protesters are doing these big convoys, honking and waving flags by the end of January 2022.
Publicly Ryan Kulbaba was attempting yet another new relationship with another woman – which he tried to down play to me – but she was in his Facebook Live videos and attending ‘convoys’ and she did a few podcast type videos with him. I decided to cut ties with him – for her sake.
February 12th, 2022, a convoy group occupy the 176th Highway Border Crossing near my home. I drove down to witness what it was all about and take in the crowds. Saw Ryan while walking thru and said hello, but I didn’t stay long. I just wanted to see what was happening – for myself for once. The Machine was there too, and I had walked with him during the visit, before leaving.
My boss had *allegedly* retired, and after 9 years of working there without much of a break or vacations, I was enjoying a bit of time off to figure out my next journey work wise. It was something to see all the people there, they were passionate about what they believe in.
February 2022 Georgia Straight article (Antilockdown videographer Ryan Kulbaba gets emotional as Surrey RCMP disperses crowd near U.S. border) talks negatively in a report about Ryan and his videos at the border situation. Thing is, Ryan, although a known figure at the time, was not involved in the US Border action. He just wanted to be. He wanted to become a big YouTube podcast star and was broadcasting from the events. It didn’t pan out for him that way. Surprise surprise, doing a podcast is work.
2022 July Canada Protest in Ottawa – Since Ryan was still unemployed, and couldn’t fly due to his ban, so he drove across Canada and attended the July Protest. He posted that all his belongings had been stolen out of his truck. Including the urn with ashes of his father. His dad had died in 2021.
Then later that Summer 2022 it was clear that this woman from February 2022, didn’t pan out as a girlfriend, once Ryan returned to BC, that summer, he was texting me again.
I think we hung out a couple of times between then and early 2023.
Then on March 28th, 2023 Ryan decided he actually loved this other woman who he had nothing to do with by this point, and made some grand love gestures – leaving notes and flowers on her car nightly. He posted a video on his Facebook, at 4:07 PM of him crying about how hurt he was when she rejected his manipulative stalker like tactics. They weren’t dating, or even really speaking when he spent 9 days stalking her, writing her 30 page letters of desperate pick me lines.
He had confided when we first met that he has mommy issues!
Incidentally – literally a few hours after he was crying on his Facebook Live about her that March 28th 2023 – which was not publicly made available – he posted a public woes me post… and he was texting me asking to come over.
I knew about the posts – both the public and private ones. He assumed I only saw the public post as we are not “friends” on Facebook now. But I know everything, I have eyes everywhere. *winkwink*
Actually I just have overprotective friends that keep tabs on shit. Love them for it.
The woman he wooed for 9 days sent this response to my friend warning her about the video in March 2023. My friends are super awesome. I love their passion. Maybe Ryan is capable of being ‘psycho’ and ‘unhinged’ but I think he knows I have the power in our casual relationship. I say when or where and if it happens.
Dating Guru?
Not long after this Ryan attempted another Podcast idea on his Facebook using Live, where he was talking to women about relationships. I asked him if it got him laid.
I asked him recently what happened with it, but he says his financial stress is stopping him from bothering with more conversations. Ya, money matters bro.
Ryan remained unemployed until 2023 and the financial tally on his life over everything he did, is still happening today. His victim mentality is a bit much to take. I get it, it’s stressful having no money but him not having work is a him problem, the world isn’t against him. He could have worked right after he was fired, he could have had a job if he had any motivation to do so, but he was always looking for quick paths to wealth or fame. It’s an unattractive part of his character.
We do continue a very casual friendship and text / hang out once or twice a year. He doesn’t like my opinions about his flaws. I suppose no one likes to admit flaws.
Just last month, June 2023, Ryan messaged me saying he saw Matthew Good was doing a show, and suggested we get front row – I said I would never give my money to Matt again.
Ah Yes, Matthew Good…
Matthew Good Does The Congo
When Covid lockdown happened in March 2020, Matthew Good and I were casually text chatting as friends do. I sent my condolences when Matt’s dad Robert died March 5th, 2020. We discussed his relationship issue with Hayley via text. I offered advice on connecting with Hayley’s daughter, given that he had only met the child once. When Matt’s mom was diagnosed as terminal, we chatted again via text. When she died in November 2020, we texted again.
I would not hear from him again until Mid-April 2021. (The whole MeToo story of this site!)
I was always open and direct with Matthew that I am unvaccinated.
My body – my choice. He and I often discussed the whole vaccine issue. Often we stopped the conversation and changed the subject to avoid it going into a heated argument.
Matthew Good had no issue being around me, me – the unvaccinated.
He held his opinions and enjoyed speaking at lengths about his alleged knowledge of vaccines. Matthew was paranoid of catching any bug really, as he has a lot of health issues and lung issues. He is a sickly person, physically as well as his bi-polar problems.
In July 2021, I sold my townhouse and bought a newer one. Matt came by the see the place I had moved to. Many of my friends did, that is what friends do. I have him on security video as proof.
In October 2021, I went to his townhouse, and again, he never showed any concern about being in the presence of someone unvaccinated like me. Even so, he was always bringing it up and stating I should get the jab. It was a point of contention between us.
That Winter 2021 – Was the launch of this Regretful Groupies website. With Matthew’s help, I launched the first posts of this website. Starting with the information regarding the album of music that was canned by Warner Bros.
That Winter 2021 – I also took my training to get my RPAL and Matt was very condescending toward a woman (me) getting a gun. More disagreements over that subject arose. I mean, I knew he was a sexist but it became clear to me, just how bad Matthew was. I was tiring of it, as you can see in my comment on his Instagram. (My private Instagram is Barblicious_Bee.)
Note, Matt just casually suggests burning himself to death in his townhouse – which would be a total disregard to the many units his townhouse is attached too! The dramatic statements this man is capable of saying!
At New Years Matthew’s tooth was severely infected and he ended up calling an ambulance and ended up in hospital. He called me from the hospital. MG posted a pic on his IG of being in the Hot Zone.
He called because he was concerned for me, you see, he explained how the ambulance wouldn’t have even come for him, if he weren’t vaccinated – and again pushed me to get the shot.
I declined to engage in another round of it. I suggested maybe he should take better care of his health and his rotting teeth. That maybe he should stop drinking and smoking cigarettes and fucking barely legal groupies. I was also in the middle of hosting a Birthday New Years sleepover for my daughter, and didn’t have time to coddle him. My patience with Matthew Good had run thin by this point.
Canada’s Trucker Convoy
Then in January 2022 there was a giant Truckers protest in Ottawa. Matthew Good had some very negative things to say about it all. This is a screenshot of a post on his Instagram at that time. Note, he knows the protest is regarding Vaccines and laughs at the idea “that the Prime Minister is bent on turning this country into some sort of tyrannical state.“
As a side note, in October 2021 when I visited his house, Matthew asked me if I had ever fucked the Prime Minister of Canada. I think because I refer to someone I have known since 2016 as “the politician’s son” but even so, it was an odd question, in a long very odd conversation.
I supported the Truckers – censorship and dictatorship-like government activities are wrong.
This new legislation Bill C-11 and C-18… It all feels very 1984 Orwellian, thought police type of shit to me. I have not had cable TV since 2006. I hated the programming and the illusion that we have freedom of thought, or true freedom in the world.
We have been programmed by our government for a very long time – we think we are free but we have never been. Try not paying your income tax. My big brother is a prepper type – has a farm half a day’s drive from here. I almost moved up country, and bought a farm like him. But I stayed in the suburban hell scape for – reasons.
Matthew and I had a few disagreements over all those subjects, but often decided to change the subject before it got too heated between us.
I was also open with Matthew about my on-off relationship with Ryan Kulbaba.
I was also clear about how I did not attend any protests, for my own reasons, but how I still truly supported it. So you can imagine the conversations that those subjects brought between Matt and I.
Winners and Losers
January and February 2022 Matthew and I had a disagreement over my opinions voiced on this website, regarding on his sexual activities, and he accused all the women in his life – of using him – and we have not spoken since.
I am just a chump. *wink*
I realized, we are night-and-day different on so many levels that a friendship was too challenging at this junction.
Who Used Who? That would also be a good title for this website, but too late to change it.
Matthew Good Does The Slide
Then in October 2022 Ryan Kulbaba texts me to ask about the video circulating where Matthew Good stated protesters should be sent to the Congo and shot at, so they could feel what actual tyranny feels like.
I looked up the video of Matthew Good’s statement and it is out there despite any attempt to silence it.
“Amid backlash, Matthew Good denies saying unvaccinated people should be shot (VIDEO)”
It was clear that even though Matt never said vaccines, he said people protesting at hospitals.
(You can find the video, made by Clyde Do Something and find the video of one YouTuber that had their video removed, and it’s amazing how damage control attempts to scrubs things, but shit lives-on on the web like this video post by Unacceptable Fringe about the Congo comment.)
Well, by my understanding, the people protesting at hospitals at that time were hospital staff, that had been fired for not getting the vaccines. The truckers were protesting vaccines, he knew it was linked to vaccines. He back tracked and covered his arse to say it wasn’t about vaccines.
Whether it was or not, it is a pretty shitty thing to suggest anyone should be shot at.
It only further solidified my opinion of the man.
Wishing harm or death on anyone is wrong. So bloody fucking wrong.
Mr. Good refused to apologize for his statement. Clearly he believes he is always right. And despite any sad forlorn posts where he denigrates himself – Matthew’s bipolar highs will always bring him right back to his superiority complex side. The Jekyll and Hyde of him.
The video sparked a bit of outrage in the “Protest” circles and I think some of them even went so far as to protest at some of the tiny venues that Matthew Good is able to still play for pay.
Just a few weeks ago it was announced he was playing locally in future, and Ryan Kulbaba messaged me out of the blue again and jokingly suggested we get front row seats.
I made it clear, I won’t ever financially support Matt again by purchasing anything he sells.
I won’t financially support any man, ever again.
I went out to a local pub recently, and these gentlemen from Dubai were making moves on me, and asked me what was more important, money or intelligence – in a man. I said money. Several more questions of the ilk later and each time I said MONEY.
Then I explained that, I don’t need a man for finance.
I need a man that isn’t going to use me for everything I have worked so hard for. So yeah, looks, intelligence, humour is super duper important in a “mate” but ultimately you have to find your financial equal.
But I am not looking. For now, I just want someone once in awhile, to make my toes curl, and make me laugh. I am going to be single for life – for now – probably until the end.
I guess I wanted to put that out there, because…
I sure can pick ’em.
