I’m Either Getting A Blood Clot Or I’m About To Faint Because The Ontario Government Did Something Right

Looks like a bunch of us idiots who did a smart thing and got the crappy vaccine that isn’t all that crappy, actually are going to be able to get the other half of our treatment without having to try out something that sounds kind of reckless even if it might ultimately work. This is …

My Sanity Is Shot!

So I’m sitting here watching the news and just absolutely seething right now! Pretty sure I’ve mentioned a time or 12 that I hate our provincial government. I’m fair when I need to be, but generally speaking, they fucking suck. And this latest vaccine shit absolutely is not helping to change that opinion. You see, …

A Little Bit Of Vaccine History

As we moved closer to being able to get COVID vaccines, I wondered how things went when the Polio vaccine rolled out. Were people scared of it? Did people think it got developed too quickly? Were there all these conspiracy theories? Then I saw this story about what happened when the Polio vaccine arrived, and …

The Border Isn’t Closed. Just Run Through The Loophole

Doug Ford may be an incompetent premier, but he’s not illegitimate Martin Regg Cohn is making a few different points in this column, but I want to focus on one in particular. It actually has little to do with anything that Doug Ford may have done right or wrong. It’s more about what the federal …

If you’ve registered to be notified by text message when there are COVID vaccine appointments available and have heard nothing but a combination of silence and chatter from your friends about how quickly they were able to book their own times, this may be why. The region is asking Telus customers who preregistered for a …

I Got My First COVID Shot!

“I need vaccination, vaccination, vaccination…” and I got it! My first shot anyway. Yup, this afternoon, I got my first COVID vaccine. You might be wondering why the heck I was able to get a vaccine right now. You didn’t think I was quite that old yet. Well I’m not, but I have medical conditions …

Expired Service Ontario ID Isn’t Totally Busted Right Now

I did something that goes against everything that is me. I let my health card expire. To be fair, I never got a renewal letter telling me to get in there, and I didn’t relish dealing with the whole getting a new photo bit. Plus I had read that because pandemic, expired health cards were …
