Air Canada urges Ottawa to adopt ‘science-based approach’ to reopen travel This is rich coming from the same people that have started selling all the seats again, distancing be damned. Why are they allowed to do that, by the way? If it’s not safe enough for bars, restaurants, water parks, churches or pretty much anyone […]

I’m Not Ready
As Stage 3 approaches, many of us face a dilemma A lot of this column is me, essentially. It’s nice that they feel the numbers are down far enough that we can open more things, but unless I’m doing something I really need to be doing, I’ll take a pass, thanks. I’ve got my own […]
No Mask, No Heart, Big Problem
Let me make this as simple as possible. If I know you and I find out you’ve been doing this, the next time we’re unfortunate enough to be in the same place at the same time I’m going to punch you in the fucking throat so hard that you actually will have a breathing problem. […]
Just Wear The Damn Mask. And If You Honestly Can’t, Just Say So
Perhaps some of you might remember a website from years ago called the Biggest Idiot On The Internet. It’s sadly not around anymore, but if it was I’m pretty sure Letitia Montana here would have today’s win sewn up. Went into the Emergency Dept. at St Joseph’s Hospital in #Toronto for a suspected broken finger. […]
I Want A Coronavirus For Christmas
No, I don’t have a death wish. Let me explain. First, imagine singing the “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” song, but pronouncing Coronavirus like “Corin avris”. That’s how one of our screen-readers pronounces Coronavirus. Steve and I have gotten so used to pronouncing it that way that we have to make sure we say […]
The New Themes In My COVID Dreams
A while back, I said that I was having anxiety-filled COVID dreams. I am having less of those, but I have noticed that my dreams have changed. I guess they would be new-age COVID dreams. Now, they’re less terrifying and more sad. They point out all the little things that I miss, or think might […]
Touchy About Touch
I read an article about how this new physically distant life kind of sucks for blind people, and although I don’t agree with all of it, he definitely has some good points. He very clearly explains the constant anxiety I feel when I’m out and about and might bump someone, have to touch elevator buttons, […]
Today In Weird Ass Gathering Rules
Legitimate question: Is the Ontario government coming up with these new loosened gathering and reopening rules by using a dart board or a hat? Seriously, they read like nonsense. Now you can have a wedding or a funeral ceremony outside that can include 50 people as long as those people can distance, but the minute […]
Social Circles: Maybe Not The Worst Idea If You All Happen To Live Close Together
Ontario has come up with a new system that’s supposed to allow people to get closer to at least some of their family. It’s called a social circle, and it goes a little something like this. Creating what he called a “safe” social circle, the ministry physician said to start with your immediate household and […]
This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things
I’m sure it’s not the case and that most of the problem is with people who are assholes on a good day sticking out like even more of a sore dong than usual right now, but sometimes it feels like the last few months has eliminated our ability to be proper, decent, civilized human beings. […]
