Today in "Life's a Hustle"

Read former Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, sell COVID-19 to his bosses as the path back to the public purse - permanent-like:

"As conservatives, we must also ensure that our governments do not lose focus on the economic challenge that is now coming at us as quickly as the coronavirus. The measures that countries are taking to deal with the pandemic, as necessary as they have been, are creating economic and fiscal realities that are simply unsustainable. Our populations will naturally look to the centre-right for economic answers to the coming recession and budgetary crises. At the same, as supply chains are being rebuilt and restructured, our parties must not lose sight of the importance of freer trade. When grounded in mutually beneficial agreements and national security, trade is key in driving the innovation and growth our world needs."

Freedom COVID-19

Yeah, yeah, trade. It's the racists and sexists in charge of our governments we don't want. So not you.  Liberals. Or NDP. Either/or is fine. But thanks for trying.

Freak...

And the Problem with COVID-19 Is...

...The solution requires the public to have a solid grounding in math and science.

While We're Watching

Years ago when my mother was living in a Chartwell seniors' residence I became aware of a parasitic entity taking advantage of the sitting duck residents called Hospitality Network.

There was a brief CBC Go Public look into Hospitality Network's deals with hospital administration boards that allowed it to feed off patients, but nothing about its deal with the boards of seniors' residences and nursing homes.

I don't know if it's still around, but if it is, it shouldn't be.

What the hell were governing politicians ever thinking that they would put the care of citizens in vulnerable states of being in the paws of profiteers?

And while we're watching, maybe governing politicians could cancel that stupid and reckless policy of paying bonuses to so-called executives in our public service. All it does is make wealthy public servants wealthier while reducing services for everybody else. Enough already with garbage governance.
