What I learnt on the Twitter this week:

1. Kenney says a deal with Saudi Arabia to build a petrochemical plant in Alberta doesn't affect Alberta's reputation for producing "ethical oil" because the contract was printed on paper made of recycled cardboard healthcare promises.
2. With Ontario's Covid case numbers at record highs, Doug says numbers are on their way down. Ford says if you tilt the graph paper down to the right that's pretty obvious.
3. Doug decides praying Covid will go away isn't working so he begs the Great Pumpkin to make it go away.
4. After posting photos of 50 maskless family members standing squeezed shoulder to shoulder, MPP Oosterhoff says the knitting circle just wasn't done with their masks yet.
5. Doug says people should give Sam a break. Says Sam detailed his car, so the province should forgive Sam.
6. Poilievre says socialism doesn't work and, as someone who's been paid by the State his entire professional career, he should now.
7. Rempel says if you don't donate to the CPC your credentials and years of scientific experience don't count.
8. O'Toole asks "Are you with meme?"
9. Ford government writes bill giving friend's christian school ability to grant degrees, before official application process complete. Ford says he trusts the school will be approved since Ron Taverner is Dean and Dean French is the lacrosse coach there.
10. #Yahoosterhoff
11. Ford says best way to battle rising Covid numbers is for his government to re-announce old announcements about stuff the previous government planned.
12. Kenney says UCP is contracting AB hospital cleaning services out to 'Ben Harper's Hospital Cleaning and Lawnmowing Inc.'
13. Lecce says the best way to keep kids safe in class is to hire new Teachers College grads who live in vans and can move from school to school more easily.
14. Lecce says he and Oosterhoff have been busy in discussions about making schools safe and Sam is really learning a lot.
15. Doug says most university deans owe their school $500K and are married to people who say they're doctors when they're not. Says people are texting him and telling him that all the time.
16. Lilley says "Dr Williams should be fired - doing a terrible job running the province!"
17. Blanchet asks for 50-year-old apology from Feds for War Measures Act. Singh says Trudeau must also apologise for the Leafs' poor performance since '67.
18. Bobby Orr leaves retirement to play Right Wing for Trump's wreck league.
19. Jack Nicklaus shanks one hard to the Right.
20. Kenney says economy shutdown not the solution for managing pandemic. Says keeping healthcare workers at home is key.
21. Shandro says Alberta can't be moved over to Federal tracing app until he upgrades his Nokia burner.
22. UCP creates fake nurse account. Spell nurse wrong.
23. Report indicate most people reaching their threshold for pandemic and political fatigue. The good news is, with 55 days until Christmas, family dysfunction and financial anxiety should help alleviate that.
24. Oosterhoff family plans carolling event at Bob's All-You-Can-Eat.
26. Does anyone happen to know what I should do with this flash drive I found labelled "Fake Biden Bombshell!"?
25. Reminder to self: Life is short. Don't sweat the small stuff. Be kind. And always make sure I have adult supervision when pumpkin carving.

Some learnings I've learnt living in these here pandemic times:

1. Everyone should have access to the internet during a pandemic. Oh, and funny hats.
2. These past ten years the dust bunnies under my sofa and bed have been pretty busy building thriving little towns and villages.
3. Screaming into the abyss is a real thing. My neighbour just doesn't get it.
4. If you want really nice weather all summer long, just declare a pandemic lockdown.
5. Amazon will pack two lightbulbs into a microwave-sized box. Can confirm.
6. Right wing politicians really don't like not being in front of people. Which is kind of weird, since they don't seem to like people.
7. Sometimes I find myself wondering if the person who invented the salad bar sneeze guard back in olden times truly knew what they were on to.

Saw the blue sky this morning and thought it looks like a rockstar day. Stepped outside and the chilly temps broke my heart. Saw all the leaves on the ground and I hit the roof. Put all my sweaters on the table. Spared no expense on coffee. Then I got laser focused on some bacon.
Saw the neighbours passing doobies. I yelled "What're ya doin, ya Yahoos?!" I was shocked the leaves were falling in autumn. Made raking the leaves my number 1 priority. Created a robust and massive plan to make a pile of leaves. Kids belong in leaf piles, I thought to myself.
Decided to create the leaf pile one leaf at a time, because kids wouldn't understand the leaf pile if I built it all at once. I saw the kids were jumping into the four or five leaves and hurting themselves, so I made jumping in the leaf pile by appointment only.
