Have you read Old Man and the Sea?

Top three Wedgie's favorites of all time, with A Christmas Carol and Homage to Catalonia.

Christmas Carol is #1.

Oh poop, add A Child's Christmas in Wales.

Remember when Ford used public funds to put partisan stickers on gas pumps, and the stickers all peeled off? This is a guy who inherited a STICKER COMPANY from his father and couldn't figure out how to make stickers that stick.

Then he personally selected a new license plate design for the province that you can't see at night, because he thought the old ones were 'liberal plates'. But the old ones came in under Bill Davis lolololol...

Or when he said we'll bring back buck a beer in Ontario stores and the brewers said um, yeah, we can't sell beer for a buck unless it's a can of water.

This guy is as dumb as he looks and sounds.

He's done a fine job with the covid-19 crisis. Kudos to him for knowing how much to get involved and how much to stay out of the way. That being said I think his populist politics on a regular day are less than desireable at least from my viewpoint.

I dunno if it's just the cabin fever talking but I'm starting to develop a crush on the weekend CTV local news weather lady.

What did he do, isn’t Ontario the most infected? Or is it Quebec?

As far as I can tell, he gets in front a microphone everyday and reads at a grade 5 level.

He ordered schools shut down like 1 day before everywhere else.

Quebec's definition includes people that are probably infected, not just confirmed by testing.

I know what you're saying, but that's pretty much what the province needs from him right now. He needs to act a leader without necessarily taking over, and as a liaison between the nerds and the geezers

I guess giving people that sense of security is his main job.

Tbh, I don’t think anyone knows what tf to do. We should go into complete lockdown for two weeks. Don’t leave ur homes. When he announced on essential services I thought it was nurses and doctors.. But my cousin was still selling windows and doors to random people so idk.. seems like he didn’t do much until it was too late. All of the leaders dropped the ball. We had the data from Japan/S.Korea, but still haven’t implemented necessary measures..

The list of essential businesses is suspect, agreed

They included construction as an essential service at first, but that's been changed now I think.

Because he's protecting the people from the horrible ebay seller gougers apparently. Once the pandemic is clear the gouging on gas and everything else government controlled will be ok to start doing again. Ontarians, Canadians in general have been getting gouged for everything for the last 20-25 years at least.

Ontario’s population is almost double the next closest province. Odds are there will be more cases in this province. There isn’t...yet, so let’s assume something is working.

That was an eye opener. Reading it (and pretty much everything else by Orwell) made my political views grow up more than anything else.

Armed with will and determination, and grace too..

I see what you mean. I get that sense even in the little amount I read. I have a whole bookshelf full of books, I’m dabbling in Steinbeck rn..

Grapes of Wrath? Maybe the most powerful statement of American socialism I’ve ever read. Amazing book.
