      Whaaaat! Anti-science, religious bigots drive social decline?

      No that can’t be it. It must be that God is angry at us because of the gays and is sending this plague upon us. We must burn the gays. That’ll fix it. /s

      Notice how Canada is a big country, and how some parts of Canada are different from others. Perhaps you should buy some thinner brushes for your paintings. Map showing total 2025 measle cases in Canada, per province Map showing new measles cases in Canada (week 27) per province.

        I’m aware of that. I’m smarmy because a lot of citizens of countries like to ridicule the US at the moment. Yes, our clown President and his sycophants are a national embarrassment. Yes, Canada is nowhere near the US for the degree to which idiocy and misinformation are deciding public behavior and public policy. But I like to remind people that they may be closer than they think to the switch flipping and the inmates taking over the asylum. Be smug if you must, but don’t let your guard down at home.

        May your backwater provincial leaders be kept in their places. May Rob Ford stay dead.
