The Seasonality of Madness
There is no rational reason you cannot get a proper haircut.
Sporting a sleeveless dress, sunglasses, and wild hair blowing in the wind as I ride in the passenger’s seat of our pick-up truck, I ponder my visit to the pharmacy, where I purchased some DIY box highlights. There is an art to blonde hair, and since my stylist is unwilling to give me an illegal colour job, I’ll do it myself, just like I did when I was 21.
Gone are the days of sophistication and treating myself to a proper hair do, since that is no longer a luxury of the lowly citizen class. It’s been almost a year since millions of us have had a professional colour or cut, but I’m sure Justin Trudeau, Christine Elliot, and all official mouthpiece journalists have exemptions.
The exasperated lady at the cash agreed with the hypocrisy. Step beyond an hour radius of a major city like Toronto or Ottawa, and you will find less disciples of the Covid temple, and more blue collar ‘essential workers’ with their faces muzzled for a year on end. They are fed up, and they live close enough to the cows to be able to smell bullshit.
In the same way that movie sets can operate but hairdressers cannot open shop, it is all about image, and the elites maintaining their melting mirage.
Like the parched desert traveller thirsting for real life to return, as we approach the oasis, we see that it is disappearing. The empty promises and temporary extensions to the emergency measures stretch into infinity, and we are in a vast Sahara of lies.
But as I feel the fresh air filling my lungs, and the sun lighting the road, it is clear that we are fast approaching summer, and this simple truth exists in the back of even the most stubbornly loyal Covidian’s mind: people don’t get colds in the summer.
Just like the millennia of all coronaviruses before this one, there is a seasonality to the political virus of 2020 and all its ongoing variants.
And despite what any perfectly coiffed pharmaceutical company shill, corrupt scientist, compromised doctor, power-drunk politician or elite with an agenda will tell you, there is no rational reason you cannot get a proper haircut.
Likewise, there is a seasonality to collective madness, and with the warm weather coming in, let’s hope we are on the upward curve out of it — at least until next flu season.
Let's hope so. From here in the tropics though it's been more than a year of lockdown with only miniscule mortality. Seems there's only mad dogs and Englishmen taking advantage of the equatorial sun
You have been allowed to go to the dentist and have your mouth wide open but you couldn't get a hair cut. How sad. Does the difference in pay scale dictate what was essential? Getting your haircut can make a person feel alive again thereby being mentally and physically helpful.
When your incompetent you have no clue how to lead.
Looks like the Ontario government is squeezed into the corner. It proves that if you push hard and stand together you can force changes. As Roman Baber states...open up ..open up everything...not a pretend opening. Open it all. The children are hurting. The parents are hurting. The vulnerable are hurting. Everyone is hurting.. There comes a time when you face up to your mistakes and do what is right. The time is now Ford nation.
