For those keeping track at home, if your big issue is a “return to normalcy” wrt COVID, you better hope this guy gets back in because most of those people obstructing ambulances and threatening his life: they vote CPC. I trust I don’t need to explain that to anyone. #elxn44

If you’re pissed off and tired and mentally exhausted from all the COVID stuff, I think it’s a good time to reflect on just how bad it could have been for all of us, except for these guys in the federal government. Imagine what’s happening in Alberta happening in every province.

Imagine no CERB as Poilievre suggested or businesses getting money first as O’Toole suggested. Imagine not enough vaccines and poor uptake like America whose collective consciousness was infected by conservatism via Trump.

Imagine everyone given the tacit approval to remain unvaccinated and not having a federal government insisting upon, helping set up and funding vaccines passports.

Imagining all that?

COVID isn’t remotely done with us and electing a bunch of science deniers so you can pretend it is and get back to your life is possibly the worst mistake you could ever make. It’s like getting a diagnosis you don’t like so you get a new doctor.

In the end, we should finish out this dance with the people who made sure we were on top of the world in terms of vaccine procurement and uptake. Not because we owe them anything, but because O’Toole TOLD us over and over again how he’d have managed it.

And truthfully, a LOT more of us would be dead had we had a conservative government in place when this happened. That’s not political hyperbole, that’s a rational assessment of the facts in evidence.

I’m not willing to risk my loved ones and I would so very much appreciate it if you wouldn’t either.

Because, again, COVID isn’t done with us yet.
