Here's my current take on Covid in Ontario. I was at one time pleased with Ford's leadership during this pandemic. Hasn't been true for a while. It's still nice he isn't a full-on anti-masker or science-doubter, but he isn't doing a good job of this and I know that. #onpoli 1/6

I'd love to beat up Ford more with this pandemic and score political points off it, as some are. Because I just don't like Ford, or his politics otherwise. But much as I'm unhappy with his leadership right now, I also don't think that's really the problem. We are. #onpoli 2/6

You can yell at a coach for calling the wrong plays, but if the players just don't have the stuff to win you're really just debating how you want to lose. And yes, you can try to embarrass yourself as little as possible. I guess that's all we're aiming at now. #onpoli 3/6

We have the same problem that is crippling America. A lesser version of it, true, but still too much for Covid. We're selfish and we call it individualism. We're impulsive and we call it liberty. We make each other sick and we call it the price of freedom. #onpoli 4/6

I don't have the energy to blame Ford because no one could coach this team to a winning season over Covid. We're just trying to lose in the least humiliating way, waiting for some kind of off-season movement (aka a vaccine) to change the board. #onpoli 5/6

Problem is, losses in this "game" are measured in human lives. I don't have a line to soften that. It's a tragic f*cking failure of our values and our society. And blaming one leader is too easy, because it's on all of us. So screw Ford. But screw you too. And me. #onpoli 6/6
