I’m not trying to be an asshole or anything, but if your name is O’Toole and you have a son, why in god’s name would you call him Jack? Do you expect that he’ll never ever find himself in the company of other children or people in their 40s who sometimes still act like children? […]

Can We Just Build A Wall Around America And Be Done With It?
I know people don’t much like the word in this context anymore, but this is retarded. Completely and utterly fucking retarded. So retarded that actual retarded people would look at the person who would make a decision like it and say “what are you, retarded?” A federal judge has struck down Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s […]
COVID Hyper-Alert?
I have a probably dumb question about the new COVID Alert app. If you get the virus and report that to the app and input your happy little key, what happens when your case is marked as resolved? Does the public health unit deactivate your key so your phone stops spewing warning-triggering codes? Or are […]
A New COVID-19 Theory? That’s Super, Computer!
As we learn more about COVID-19, it pisses us off because it feels like its laundry list of symptoms just keeps growing, and the symptoms have no connection to each other. We just want to scream “Now you tell us it can cause cough, fever, loss of taste, sore throat, headache, stroke, heart trouble, kidney […]
How About We Don’t Have An Election
Most Canadians comfortable with an election amid coronavirus — what would it look like? Count me firmly in the camp of not most Canadians, then. I’m not personally opposed to going out to vote right now. I don’t live in a region that’s currently overrun by disease, so I’m sure I would be fine. But […]
You’ll Be Fine. It’s Exaggerated, Remember?
I can’t imagine there not being a dumb lawsuit over this at some point, because that’s generally what happens when dumb people like Phillip Dupaul do dumb things and then have to face the possibility of perhaps facing the music. Dupaul is one of those guys who won’t wear a mask because the pandemic is […]
Being Blind In The Pandemic. Could Be Better, Could Be Worse
This column, written by our friend Shermeen Khan (look at me name dropping) for the Waterloo Record gets into a lot of the things that Carin and I have been saying throughout the pandemic. Like us, she and her husband are blind, which in itself adds an extra layer of complexity to dealing with this […]
It’s A Nice Day For A WhatsAppp Wedding
Oops there’s something in my eye. Here’s something that’s very 2020. A couple of weeks ago, Steve and I watched someone’s wedding over Whatsapp. It wasn’t just someone. It was Barb and Alex’s wedding, and if the stupid Coronavirus hadn’t come along and squashed all this year’s hopes and dreams, we were supposed to be […]
It Is Time For Coronavirus, Canada
Chris Lindberg: I know that God will protect us and our extremely important prayer event. The world needs us at this time. God: I tried, but you didn’t listen. Why do you suppose I gave you public health guidelines and sent you a warning tornado? Enjoy your COVID, numbnuts. If you’re lucky, maybe I’ll make […]
I Came Out Of Lockdown For The 2020st Of Reasons
Well hi there! I sure have been quiet lately, haven’t I? Part of that is the traditional summer slowdown, part of it is my ever present sleep issues being especially present the last few weeks and part of it, at least in the last couple of days, was being out experiencing the world for the […]
