Okay. So. WE.
I've stopped paying attention.
I honestly don't have the mental or emotional head room to do my usual thing of trying to find the truth by reading all the sides.
I'm *exhausted* from trying to weed out the hyperbole, partisan spin and, frankly the hatred.

I don't know the truth and the press isn't going to give it to me, the opposition isn't going to give it to me and if I listen to them, neither is the government.
I've lost a little faith that we're ever going to really know what truth is ever again.

So I'm doing what any rational survivor type would do. I'm going to trust my instincts and let it go.
Not because it's not important, not because truth doesn't matter, but because I don't think the players in our little social drama are all acting in good faith.

And here we are, in the middle of the most serious social, economic and health crisis in a century and what are we doing?
Dedicating all the ink, all the brain cells, all the energy to a ridiculous scandal that is now hinging on semantic interpretations.
I mean, Jebus.

Without a thought to the big picture, our government has been destabilized and if nothing else the collective Canadian mental health just took a big hit.
We're at a crossroads where huge shifts are taking place, where what we need the most is stability. And what do we get?

We get histrionics and hyperbole. We get partisan alley fights. Christ, it's like a textbook primer on how to utterly fail and consign the next century to a fucking steaming pile of shit because we're too unevolved to work together to save the ship.
Good on the government I say, good on them for saying "fuck this" and proroguing. I think it was balls to the wall brave and I don't give a crap about your nonsense about how it's to avoid accountability. They're coming back. They can be accountable later. When we're safe.
Maybe the various opposition parties could take a moment, really understand where we are and what's happening in the world and be helpful. Provide helpful criticism. Work with the government instead of against it. You're not supposed to be actual "enemies".
You can be critical. You can oppose things. You can offer analysis and counter suggestions. Your job is not to make us hate our government. It really isn't.
I want to not only survive this, but come out of it better and stronger.

So I'm going to support the government while they huddle away making a plan to get us out of this, to make our country able to withstand what's coming.
Because, my friends, big shit is coming. From America. From Covid.
And we actually need to be ready.

PS. Speaking of America, they pardoned a criminal president for "the good of the country" and up here in the Great Smug North, we're draining our ability to face the biggest challenge in nearly a century over a program THAT NEVER HAPPENED.
