One of my late Mom’s favorite aphorisms was “if you can’t find anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
She was also a brilliant, hard-working professional, and a community activist on issues ranging from education, to human rights, to racism, to inclusiveness, and fulfilling one’s personal capabilities.
And I suspect she’d be finding it very hard to hold her tongue about Covidiots, and deniers, and community safety abusers.
I’m sorry, but I have zero sympathy for Canadians abroad who are now facing tough, expensive, (finally) mandated and not just recommended regulations upon their return to Canada. Those who are whining on a beach somewhere.
If they had heeded public health advice, they would never have left the country for a vacation.
