Reading Wednesday

Currently reading: An Anthology of Canadian Native Literature in English, edited by Terry Goldie, Daniel David Moses, and Armand Garnet Ruffo. This is an absolute brick. It's full of brilliant material, though, so while I really wish I was reading this in ebook form and not dead tree form, there's some really excellent work. I guess the one good thing about reading it in dead tree form is that I'm able to tear up tissues and mark things that I'll want to share with my class.

A part of our heritage

DW's tweetposting sucks, which normally is one of the things that I appreciate about this platform, so you need to trust me that it's worth clicking through to the thread.

Okay okay if you don't trust me, here's what happened. Doug Ford's daughter, Krista, is a militant anti-vaxxer. This is a different one from the one who tried to open up a cookie shop named after the KKK. (It's very difficult and to be honest, despite being a little obsessed with this dynasty that has made my life so hellish, I did have to look it up.)

She's married to a cop (of course) named Sergeant Dave 'Juggernaut' Haynes (of course). He's an anti-vaxxer too. Owing to her daddy's vaccine mandate (which, admittedly, I agree with), Juggernaut is now on unpaid leave from Toronto Police Services because he refused to stop infecting people with covid.

Krista then went on Instagram (of course) and went on a weird, sweaty rant while working out at the gym about how God will prevail over the evildoers (her father). If you click the horrible BlogTO link, you can watch it if you find that kind of thing funny (I do).

This is SO GOOD. Jay Rosales on Twitter beat me to the punch on the obvious.



I'm just sitting here cry-laughing. I know Ontario voters are really stupid and won't remember this come election time but I'm still going to enjoy this while I can.
