This week’s Sparky: by their name ye shall know them

“…Saskatchewan politicians have been clear Bernier is not a welcome guest.
“Anybody that’s disobeying the public health order and holding rallies is not looking out for their community. It’s very self-serving,” Health Minister Paul Merriman told reporters on Friday.
“If he’s going to cause some issues and break the public health orders, that’s extremely disappointing that a formal federal leader is looking at breaking laws going across our country.”
NDP MLA Nicole Sarauer called this response to Bernier and the growing number of “freedom rallies” across the province weak. She called on the Saskatchewan Party to take a stronger stand against Bernier.
“This is the last thing we need in this province right now,” Sarauer said. “Maxime Bernier and his rhetoric are not welcome here.”
After the week we’ve all had, this SFH song seemed timely.
"When Mr. Singh entered the foyer, Mr. Bernier said, referring to Mr. Singh, 'Il ne se fera jamais élire avec ce torchon sur sa tête,'" wrote Conway. He translated the phrase into English as, "He'll never get elected with that rag on his head." #cdnpoli https://t.co/UjBnAf4SnL

The pandemic has caused a total collapse in citizens’ trust in communications by government. I’ve never seen anything like it. In wartime, public opinion coalesces. During the pandemic, it has atomized.

I love the people who yell at Dr. Fauci on Twitter, because they think he has enough free time to find their stupid tweets on Twitter

When the pandemic is over, I’m going to arrive at client meetings on a hoverboard, and if they ask about it I’ll tell them that it’s a pandemic thing
