What I learnt on the Twitter this week:

1. Doug Ford says the hardest part for families who have lost loved ones in an LTC is that Doug has to get up for work at 6 AM.
2. Jason Kenney warns Albertans for the eleventh time that this Covid flu thing is getting pretty darn serious.

3. O'Toole says he'll fight for freedom of expression in Canada because 9 trillion Canadians are out of work because of the virus Trudeau imported from China.
4. Doug insists Feds need to step up with more funding for provinces because the $9B Doug's hoarding isn't nearly enough.

5. Lecce tweets about a chat he had with someone about something. LaGrange says "Hold my Min of Ed beer!" and tweets about a *great* chat she had with someone at some point.
6. Lecce tweets more selfies of Lecce, proving to parents he's working hard tweeting selfies of himself.

7. Freeland announces new Canadian hero will be selected for new 5-dollar bill. Conservatives outraged, saying if Wilfred Laurier is no longer on money how will people learn Canadian history?
8. O'Toole says slogans are ridiculous and asks for the 2,133rd time if we're with him.

9. Ford govt gives itself power to decide what to do with Conservation lands. Says developing protected lands is a key step in their plan to fight the Covid.
10. Ford says Elliott doesn't announce Covid death numbers because he's up at 2:30 AM.
11. Toronto is Red. I repeat, Red.

12. UCP increase focus on battling pandemic by asking Albertans if they believe they should own guns.
13. To urge people to keep social distance UCP gives churches $5K for new band equipment.
14. Kenney says $4B he gave O&G is offset by the $5K he spent renting an RV this summer.

15. Doug says he's tired of people who aren't named Oosterhoff not taking the pandemic seriously.
16. On Tuesday it was reported Ford is sitting on $9B of federal relief funds. On Wednesday the Sun's Brian Lilley writes "Feds not doing enough." That's it. That's the funny part.

17. Liberal MP hires sister to work in office. Hides the fact she's her sister. MP ejected from caucus. Poilievre says Lib MP's actions prove Margaret Trudeau's labradoodle is complicit in something.
18. O'Toole renames non-existent government "The O'Toole government." That's it.

19. Republican ballot counter in Kentucky says poll station management didn't organize enough lunch for ballot counters which proves the election was rigged.
20. Trump announces he'll star in new reality TV show. Airing date for "I Declare Myself Not Fired!" yet to be determined.

21. With record case numbers in Conservative-run provinces, right wing media say Trudeau is an autocrat because right wing media suggests he must consider invoking Emergency Measures Act. Follow?
22. CDC predicts 2000 people will die a day at this rate. That's a *really* bad flu.

23. Canadians prepare for Zoom-based Christmases. Oosterhoff clan meet to decide which venue they should pretend to physically distance in.
24. Doug insists his pandemic framework is incredibly powerful and all the calls he's had with imaginary experts were perfect phone calls.

25. Brave Canadian men and women fought in wars to defend and protect democracy. Poppies once a year are nice, sure. But *voting* whenever you have the privilege to ... I feel as though that's what they really fought for.
26. Living in a pandemic is hard. Fighting wars is harder.

27. I want to see if I can crash the internet. There's 41 days until Christmas. Have you started shopping online yet?
28. It's been a tough 10 months. But we'll get through this. Try to think of it this way: We're *living* out some bigly history right now.
