In case you're thinking that the US is just beyond repair — what with the Trumpsters practically beating people up at school board meetings, at restaurants, and on planes, and Congress making sausage in broad daylight, and the media doing its usual (sadly) less-than-stellar job — would it feel better to know that folks in Canada are acting silly, too?
People in Alberta are scaring the bejesus out of doctors there, screaming about masks, demanding vaccine exemptions, and acting like the generally racist pigs that they are. (Yes, we know there are racists in other provinces, but Alberta is particularly heavy with MAGA wannabes.)
But that's not all. While today is Canada's first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation — inviting all citizens to reflect on the nation's terrible record of cultural genocide at First Nations residential schools — one news outlet decided that PM Trudeau, who worked hard to make the day a reality, wasn't observing it properly. "He's on vacation in British Columbia!" they bleated. Um, no — he's meeting with school survivors. Yes, the Canadian media can be just as bad as ours.
Depressing, no? But here are two pieces of news to cheer us up: Anthony Fauci is getting an honorary degree from McGill University tomorrow. And indoor sports and concert venues in Quebec will now allow full capacity for events — provided you show proof of vaccination, of course. Yes, we can imagine a few squeals from the passport-averse outside Montreal's Bell Centre — but compared to the nightmare that's Alberta, Quebec is doing very well. We cats PURR.
