What I learnt on the Twitter this week:

4. Stephen Lecce celebrates Canada Day by tweeting photos of Lecce giving people photos of Stephen Lecce.

5. Lecce says return to class in fall will be safe since most people will have two doses. That's it. That's the funny part. That's his plan.
6. Ford says "No one wants businesses open more than me!" Even more than business owners going broke. Doug suffers for us all. In Muskoka.

7. Burlington LTC experiences second serious Covid outbreak since Oct 2020. Rod Phillips shares pre-recorded fireside chat offering his concern and support.

18. National Post's John Iveson laments cancellation of Canada kite-building event moments before going full Rempel.

19. Stephen Lecce congratulates Ontario government for two-dose summer. Doug Ford responds shyly, "I guess spending that Tuesday afternoon pretending I know how to use a computer really paid off!"
20. Lecce congratulates himself for adding parking to a green space. No, seriously.

21. Pundits predict fall federal election. Annamie Paul says this proves Trudeau hates women. O'Toole picks up RCAF jacket from drycleaner. Singh logs onto TikTok.
22. Montreal Canadiens go 3 games down into Game 4 tomorrow. City of Montreal declared disaster zone ahead of game.

23. Canada Day has come and gone. Events were cancelled but no one was prevented from making the sky explode if they wanted.

Even more important, no one was prevented from putting on some orange and taking to the streets.

That's the Canada I celebrated.
