Here we are. Again

 Well, we're all locked up again to prevent the spread.  What a great idea.  Wait, scratch that.  You know the saying, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."  That's what's happening everywhere except in the Maritime bubble.

How well have repeated closures worked so far?  That was a rhetorical question.  They haven't.  The problem is people are not adhering to safety, distance and mask protocols.  But wait, scratch that too because in remote, northern communities, where natives neither social distance, nor wear masks because they don't trust the White Man's medicine, natives are being rushed the vaccine regardless of age or other morbidities.  

Maybe we should all do that.  Ignore the rules and get the vaccine out-of-turn.  As I have said, this is a bizarre and futile strategy if you're courting votes because natives don't vote.  And what has anyone done for seniors trapped, isolated and perishing in long-term care homes for the 13 months?  Nothing much.  

It's all so criminal.

And here's a weird stat:  45% of Albertans think Deena Hinshaw is doing a great job on vaccines, yet only 23% think Kenney is doing well.  Wait, isn't Hinshaw the one calling the COVID shots for Kenney?  How does that make any sense?!

And here's another scoop:  No one has died of regular flu or pneumonia this year.  No one.  And it seems Prince Philip was the only person to have died of old age in the past year.  Wow!

Here's another comment on where we're at these days:  Some years ago, a white member of the Washington DC Council explained that in contracting for community infrastructure construction, the Council should not be too ‘niggardly’ in budgeting.  Well, the African Americans on Council (a majority) were enraged. The white councillor pointed out the dictionary meaning of the word, but this fact didn’t calm the enraged. In fact, they challenged the dictionary meaning, claiming there was a language racial plot of long standing in the white man’s world and the dictionary was the vehicle. Go figure!

I give up.
