Act like it’s a life worth living
I don’t give a shit about Quebec’s « data transmission problems » or any of the other many dysfunctions our province suffers from. The fact that the last 24 hours « only » saw 37 deaths is not comforting, and neither is the fact that the other 165 deaths added to the day’s tally (for a total of 202)…

Coherence is an endangered animal
Collected thoughts after yesterday’s Covid-19 press conference in MTL: Coherence is an endangered animal. A) Schools After Legault and Plante’s (I’m sure titillating) private meeting yesterday morning, it was finally announced that MTL schools will be kept closed. Whew. Does that feel hard-won by anyone else? But the part that had me snickering was the…

Shit
Apparently I find therapeutic value in taking huge, heaping piles of shit and boiling them down to their essential elements–pardon the image, but the CAQ’s behaviour is more than worthy of this crappy metaphor.

I will NEVER judge a person who has to go back to work or send their kids to school for lack of options–our society is not set up to meaningfully…

Fear won’t save your ass
Yeah, so really tired of feeling there’s no better recourse than bloody facebook, but alas. 1. Fear won’t save your ass… During yesterday’s daily press conference, good ol’ Fitzgibbon, Minister of Economic Development, when asked by a reporter (although I am not giving credit to reporters for their hard-hitting questions) whether employees were being given…

Sarcastic reflections of the day
1. I’m so thankful for the scientific evidence provided by Quebec’s Santé Publique. I bow down to thee, Santé Publique, and shun the advice of out-of-province/international medical experts. Quebecers are clearly a unique breed of human that have different mental and physical health requirements than people elsewhere. As well, I am buoyed by Legault’s confidence…
