Farther And Farther Out On A Limb

The governors of four blue states said yesterday that they were going to ditch their mask mandates as the world moves towards relaxing Wuhan Flu restrictions. 

New Jersey’s governor seemed to be ready to throw in the towel and stop fighting public sentiment on the issue. Well, shortly after that, the push to put an end to the mandates appeared to start spreading faster than the Omicron variant. Three more blue state governors joined Phil Murphy in saying that mandates would be coming to an end either this month or in March. Oregon, Connecticut, and Delaware jumped on the bandwagon, with the governors of those states sounding suspiciously like the protesters who have been demanding that people – particularly school children – be allowed to go back to some semblance of normal life and get their early social and educational development back on track.

At work, our beloved conspiracy theory connoisseur told us that California will follow suit. I haven't taken the time to look it up yet.

All of this leaves that Canadian idiot, Justin Trudeau, in worse and worse shape. Everyone else is relaxing and he's still as rigid as ever. This was all so predictable.

So what does Trudeau get if he wins? Every day the truckers sit there, Omnicorn fades away some more, the natural immunity numbers go up and Trudeau's payoff becomes smaller. For the life of me, I can't figure out his end game.

The guy is clearly an amateur. A professional would have been able to see a few weeks into the future, heck, a few days in this case, and would have made magnanimous concessions to the truckers with some fine speech about balancing the needs for safety with the call to freedom or some such rot. Instead, he ran away and hid and called them violent, Nazi racists. What a nitwit.

What's the over-under on how much longer he remains prime minister?

Right about now, the old pros on team Trudeau must be wondering just this.
