So Aira has a promotion where people can get free minutes to do COVID-testing-related things. I guess they’ve had to help a lot of people do at-home rapid antigen tests. I was intrigued by this, because even with someone on a phone directing me, it sounded pretty hard to do. Like, how do I get …

Nothing’s For Sure, That’s For Sure
Ontario’s top doctor says he ‘can’t guarantee’ that businesses will reopen on Jan. 26 Some days I wonder if anyone has learned a thing during the nearly two damn years that we’ve been dealing with COVID. I know we all want to see it over with for a lot of reasons, but by now we …
Would You Like Freeze With That?
‘Bundle up’: Restaurants reopen patios due to restrictions on indoor dining This is an article from this month. This month is January, in case you’re reading this later. I understand that businesses are having to do what they have to do to keep going, but what I don’t get is how and why in the …
You Need What Now? Why?
So. Have any of you noticed that sometimes when people talk about PPE it sounds like they’re saying peepee? And if you have, are you like me and giggle whenever you hear that they want to provide everyone with all the peepee they need? How much peepee does someone really need, anyway? Is there a …
The Tuition At I Did My Own Research University Is Starting To Go UP, Thank God
All of this editorial 1000 times. We’ve said a bunch of this here already, but it still needs repeating. Plus it’s good to see governments coming around to the idea that you can’t always be nice and simply rely on people to do the right thing. Sometimes you really do need to slap some fuckers …

Train Of Thought
Back around Christmas, Steve and I went home to see my family. We took Via Rail, and I wanted to make a couple of observations about the experience. First, to the people who think unmanned Via stations are acceptable: they suck if anyone needs a little bit of extra guidance or assistance. Yes, you can …
Third Time’s The Harm
I was murdered by yet another COVID shot on Thursday afternoon. After the awful reactions I had to the first two, that’s pretty much what I expected would happen. In fact I expected it so much that I made the decision to wait until after Christmas to get it because there would be no Christmas …
Has The Region Of Waterloo Been Booking And Cancelling Appointments For Anyone Else?

While I was away over the holidays (Boxing Day …
But But But My Personal Choice To Get Frostbite!
Watching the news right now and of course they’re talking about our newest COVID lockdown. Among the things they said were going to be closed down for the next few weeks at least are waterparks. Uh…what? It’s January. This is Ontario. Are waterparks even open? If so, why? And what sort of maniacs are planning …

The Real Murderer Is Right Under Your Nose, Officer
I’m surprised that I’ve only heard about this stunt once. Hopefully it won’t become a thing. Anti-vaxxers took to the streets of Birmingham city centre on Saturday.
