Social gatherings of more than 5 on the rise, police say Yeah yeah yeah. We all want to see our families and friends and to have the normal lives we had a few months ago. But we also have rules for a reason, even if some of them, like the one where public gatherings will […]

Dear Everyone Talking About Coronavirus
Please stop telling people to self-monitor themselves. Ditto for self-isolating themselves. One cannot do either of those things to a person who is not himself. Thanks. Good talk.
Landlords Are Shit
No, not all of them. Calm down. But these jagoffs who are refusing to apply for the government’s rent relief programs to help struggling tenants can feel free to rot in whatever murky evils lurk underneath hell. I get it. Nobody likes a hit to their bottom line. But stop and do the math, guys. […]
Please Make Your Voices Heard, But Try To Be Safe About It
If you’re going to break our current rules about large public gatherings, a march to protest ongoing systemic racism and the tragedies it brings is certainly a worthy reason to do it. But please, try to remember that those gathering rules don’t exist just because. They’re meant to protect us, because we’re still in the […]
What Does Getting Back To Normal Even Mean?
Empty Campus: Big changes at Waterloo’s two universities An interesting read looking at the impact that the Coronavirus is going to have on Waterloo Region.

The Conservative Leadership Race Just Got Interesting
Not really at least not yet, but it sure sounds like Bryan Adams (yes, that Bryan Adams) is gearing up for a run. Based on his first campaign speech, he appears to be trying to split the Derek Sloan vote. View this post on Instagram CUTS LIKE A KNIFE. A song by me. Tonight was […]
No Thank You, Patron. That’s Snot Very Kind!
I read this story about a gas station attendant’s experience with customers these days. A lot of people suck, especially right now. But what really stood out to me was when she said people are spitting on the pumps and snotting on the pay pads! Even in normal times, who does that? Who?! I cannot […]
Bunch Of Yahoos
Wonders never cease. Doug Ford is out here insulting protesters and I agree with him. Ontario Premier Doug Ford slammed a group of people protesting coronavirus-related restrictions outside Queen’s Park on Saturday, calling them a “bunch of yahoos.” Dozens of protesters gathered outside of the legislature demanding an easing of restrictions that officials have implemented […]
