we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
I don't know why, but it's kinda amusing that Enzo DiMatteo manages to write an analysis of the Ford cabinet shuffle that feels like trashy entertainment "news".

My brother mixed Pfixer + Moderna and said today he felt like total poo poo but a tylenol is helping. I said for him to stay home but he said he had to go in (asphalt truck driver).

That sucks a lot but at least it's "I have to work even though I feel like poo poo because I got the covid vaccine" and not "I have to work even though I feel like poo poo because I got covid".

Tell him to keep hydrated. It'll make him feel better.

I did that combo on Monday and felt fine for most of Tuesday, but got really tired in the evening and felt a little sick. I had a really good sleep though and feel fine today.

I got double-vaxxed with Pfizer last week. felt like I was stoned for a bit a couple hours after the shot but then no real immediate side effects except a sore arm. Partner had some lymph node swelling. I've felt exhausted and a bit sore the last few days but not sure if that's the vaccine or just the great combo of solstice+heat wave.

In a speech to his caucus on the last sitting day of the House of Commons on Wednesday, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole spoke about his opposition to the push to 'cancel' Canada Day over of the discovery of unmarked graves of Indigenous children at former residential schools.

And with that Otoole brings his bullet riddled foot up and inserts it into his mouth. He and Kenney both being of the same mind that these calls to action are being done by small groups of bad faith actors is pretty rich.
It's the conservative "old stock Canadians" messaging all over again.

My family is Mennonite but from Saskatchewan. I asked mom if there was any of the dumb anti-vaxx stuff in her church and they seem to be very pro-vaxx, like every single person (outside of a few with immune conditions) have one or both shots and are pretty happy about it. Services have been over zoom the whole pandemic and nobody's gotten upset about it. But we have a translated copy of my great grandma's old journal and one of her cousins got married to some guy from near Winkler and the Manitoba Mennonites were doing this same exact poo poo in 1918. Great grandma was holding church with one other family, wearing masks, and not really leaving the farm while her cousin's husband was dragging the whole family to church with everybody else and not changing their life at all. There was even a mention of some conspiracy theory that the flu/restrictions were Canada trying to punish Mennonites for speaking German and not fighting in WWI. Winkler's a weird place.

Making vaccination targets be the headline metrics was the dumbest thing. Ford should have led with the 3 week gaps as the main criteria and include the vaccination numbers as supplementary targets, since it was a total inevitability that we were going to hit the phase 2 / 3 targets insanely ahead of when we 'should' have. Now everyone is acting like we're artificially keeping things closed, when the plan still makes sense just on the timed gaps alone.

I've given up on Reddit, they've gone full blown "open everything up immediately".

Even though it's a small # it's still an issue because they will come into other areas. It's not like they live and work solely in the Stanley area. You're probably going to get your groceries from Morden or Winkler or serve customers from that area

Too much historical research has poisoned my enthusiasm for Canada Day. I haven't celebrated it for several years. My indigenous cousin otoh is all for it - he'll be downtown on the public walk selling bbq salmon to the crowds.

No kidding - half the posts on r/Canada are op-eds from the national post or other inflammatory nonsense and the comments are truly insane. There's a post in there today about cultural programming for black youth (the NatPo op-ed is typical "this is segregation?" "MLK wouldn't have wanted this!") and all the comments are crying reverse racism, CRT is to blame, the woke are running amok etc.

Only 32 new cases in Saskatchewan today with a positivity rate of 1.77(!), despite having the lowest vaccination rate in the country. I really hope this delta variant doesn’t take gold because things are starting to look a lot better.
