Old Person Does Sad, Old Person Thing

Fully immunized woman dies from COVID-19 in Kitchener long-term care home This headline, as well as some of the handling of the story itself, are kind of garbage. I’ll explain why in a second, but before I say anything else I want to make it clear that every COVID linked death matters and I’m in …

I Am Fully Vaccinated For Some Reason

I’m extremely happy to have it done, but I’m also equally confused and annoyed that it happened. I have no idea how it is that I, a fella, have both of my doses while Carin, who not only got her first one nearly a month ahead of me but who more importantly did so because …

Good Morning, Class. Welcome To Today’s Lesson, Entitled Please Don’t Murder The Vulnerable

Unvaccinated Ontario long-term care workers will have to participate in educational program I have mixed feelings about this. Surely it’s going to convince some of the people on the fence to climb over to the right side of it, but there’s just as much chance of it being resented by those whose minds are already …

The Poison Is The Misinformation

I’ve been seeing people saying there’s antifreeze in the COVID vaccines. The TL;DR version is there isn’t, but let me try to explain where they’re getting this from in case you’ve heard it or you hear someone talking about it.

I Want To See The Coffin, Coughin’ Be Damned!

I saw this story around Mother’s Day, and although restrictions are less severe than they were last month, I think it’s still worth talking about. There was a Leamington cemetery that decided to close its gates on Mother’s Day because of all the potential for crowds when people were being discouraged from gathering. Because of …

In a sure sign that things are going great and everyone is perfectly happy, Doug Ford quietly conducted a massive cabinet shuffle on a Friday afternoon. It feels to me like he just shuffled it, but apparently it’s been a couple of years. Man, time moves fast. Anyway, he made a couple of interesting choices …

Sir, We Donut Want You Eating In Here

It seems to me that if I were an identity thief and a shoplifter who was already on probation, I would want to keep a low profile. What I would not want is to be caught doing something silly like, say, being an asshole to store clerks during a pandemic. Guelph police were first called …

But My Customers Can’t Live Without Me!

This is a fine example of police throwing any charge they can think of against the wall and seeing if it sticks. It’s also pretty hilarious. Police in Hamilton, Ontario, saw a man driving aggressively and with improper plates. For reasons I don’t quite understand, they didn’t pull him over right away, but instead kept …

If The Crazy Old Metal Preacher Says The Pandemic Is Over, Who Are We To Argue?

Clearly, the best way to experience Kenneth Copeland is to not experience him at all. But if you must, listening to his rantings set to metal is a close second. Isn’t that so much better than this? There’s no need to answer that question, but you can explain why the answer is yes if you’d …
