My much less credible theory, based on nothing except the fact that Olivia Chow mentioned in an interview that Layton was watching Return of the Jedi on the day that he died, is that he was watching the original Star Wars trilogy right as the letter was drafted and without realizing it he was riffing on Yoda saying that "Fear leads to anger anger leads to hate hate leads to suffering".

so i have a pretty common name and i have lastname.firstname@gmail.com, which means dumbshit idiots with my name are constantly signing up for things with my email address. this morning i got an interesting email:

quote:

Hello <my name>,

Thank you for your inquiry. It will be our pleasure to help you locate a safe, quality, and reliable aircraft.

We have your trip listed as follows:

Round Trip
Leg 1: M44/M44 - CYKF/YKF - Wed - Aug 26, 2020 @ 0800 HRS LT - 1 Pax
Leg 2: CYKF/YKF - M44/M44 - Sun - Aug 30, 2020 @ 1700 HRS LT - 1 Pax

M44/M44 - Houston Municipal Airport - Houston, Mississippi, United States
CYKF/YKF - Kitchener Waterloo Regional Airport - Kitchener, Canada

I see you have not selected an aircraft size at this time. A VLJ or light jet will yield your lowest priced options. Do you prefer a larger aircraft?

Would you be available for a short phone call to discuss your trip needs?

We are a company of lifetime aviation experts helping our clients secure the best value aircraft worldwide.

Looking forward to speaking with you soon.

seems to me some rich fucker from one of the plague states is planning a trip up to KW this week in a private jet, and based on the dates pretty clearly has no plans to quarantine for 14 days. are they just letting americans in like this?

also a guy who can afford a private jet but also doesn't know his own email address is really confirming a lot of my biases.

How do you know hes American and not a Canadian working in the US? there are thousands of Canadians going to and from the States everyday with no real restrictions.

you know his name so if you really want you can snitch on them but the chances of the police doing anything are incredibly low and I imagine even lower for people that are chartering jets: https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/police-notified-of-21-422-cases-where-travellers-to-canada-may-have-broken-quarantine-rules-1.5024380

yeah i guess you're right. normally i'm against snitching but snitching on someone who's chartering jets feels different.

i thought you had to quarantine if you came in from abroad, regardless of citizenship.

Something like three quarters (more?) of the people still crossing the border are quarantine-exempt for misc. reasons.

you 'have to' quarantine but there's no enforcement at all. my friend's dad came back from a week in mexico, and less than a week in hosted family from out of town, and then they all went for dinner downtown. he'll probably be back at work next week.

just close the border. no one has to leave canada that badly.

e: he went to Mexico to handle paperwork for the condo they own down there. definitely not essential.

all the sane snowbirds left already when Canada put the US on its list of unsafe countries to visit, because that meant travel insurance no longer covered healthcare in the US

which leaves only the insane ones

so, yes

I turned on the Con Convention for literally 15 seconds and caught a very moist, possibly teary, Andrew Scheer bemoaning that young people haven't lived long enough to see the east german bread lines and thats why they don't like capitalism, saying the cons should make their goal reminding young people how great it is. With what I've been through this year, including not being able to afford to buy groceries from the grocery store I work at due to lack of hours and job losses, I could have reached through that television to tear him apart.

Not to mention getting threatened by chuds while operating an actual bread line...
