I am very happy that I and everyone I know personally at least, made it unscathed through this year and I hope we all do next year as well, and I wish the same for everyone else out there as well.
This has been one miserable year on all accounts as far as I can tell and I certainly hope 2021 is much better than this one has been, in all aspects, for everyone!
I also hope I don't spend as much time sleeping as I have lately, because it's getting ridiculous when I spend 6 hours a day awake and the rest of the time sleeping. I'm not physically tired (how can I be, I don't get a chance to do anything), but sleepy. It's like some kind of chemical or hormone in my body gets released into my bloodstream and I'm passed out in seconds. I have to do things (like keep moving) and not merely my fingers on a keyboard, to keep from falling asleep. So I sure hope that changes in the new year. Perhaps with the new year and the vaccines there'll be a lifting of restrictions that keeps us housebound and bored (which may be a huge part of my problem) and that may help.
Other than that, I've been busy preparing things for tomorrow - New Year's Day when the kids are coming for dinner. I thought maybe we'd have something that involved long noodles for long life and round things for good luck. So I settled on an Asian Ginger Beef Soup for the 1st course, coupled with Korean Beef (and a pork alternative - pork is for good luck too), soba noodles, a spinach side dish along with a pickled carrot and cuke salad both sliced very thinly with a mandolin and some seaweed thrown in for good measure. The salad is made, the soup is made and the pork and beef are cut into thin pieces of meat ready for stir frying quickly. Basically all the long tedious work is done, the rest will be done in minutes once started to cook.
Anyhow, now I plan on trying to take a short look back over the year with some articles doing just that and also catch up with the COVID19 headlines so I start the year fresh. So get your glass of bubbly and get comfortable and get ready to relive the year in retrospect along with get informed about the newest COVID19 headlines....

As I suggested this on another internet based site, back in January when I was trying to find out if it was possible that I had the virus myself, and suggesting that those who did, could also donate plasma in order for it to be used as a means of extracting antibodies to be used to help covid patients recover and that those who had the virus could be given a passport to allow them to function normally in society etc.... Because back then they didn't know who had it or how many and there was no treatment available to help anyone severely sick with it, so I suggested that. They were also discussing Wuhan type quarantine and lockdown measures if the virus came here (which it had but they were unaware of). So I suggested a type of card people could carry indicating that they had the virus and were probably immune to it from here on in....
Return to Almost Normal May Be Closer Than You Think I hope they're right!
Ontario plans to vaccinate 8.5 million people with COVID-19 vaccine by July 2021 Good for them, because the pencil necked accountant moron that thinks he's qualified to be a health minister anywhere, has said that he hopes to vaccinate all of the people in QC (roughly the same amount as shown here for Ontario) by the end of 2021. So what I want to know is why can Ontario get it done in 7 months but it's going to take bozo brains here in QC to get it done in 12 months? Something's wrong somewhere me thinks....
Sorry, a COVID-19 vaccine doesn't mean you can have a big summer wedding in 2021 Of course not. We can't let people have too much fun all at once, that just wouldn't sit right with all the saddistic powermongering ash holes that create this asinine laws.
Mosaic Stadium's football field in Regina flooded for free, pandemic friendly skating While I'm positive that there's some city, or town in QC that's outlawed skating due to the plandemic - like Pointe Claire closed down their toboggan hill on account of it.
Pas seulement chez les femmes, mais aussi chez les aines.
Mexico might allow private firms to buy, distribute vaccines I'm sure the cartels love that idea, that way it makes it easier for them to steal the stuff and resell it for a king's ransom. Yeah.... Good idea Mexico, go for it!
Seek help for lockdown stresses, county politicians urge rural women There are phone numbers in the article for women needing help in the Middlesex region of Ontario.
Concerns grow over new coronavirus variant in Canada As I said before, it's probably been here since at least mid October, considering it was around in the UK since about mid September and international flights between here and there didn't stop until recently. So it's probably here and running rampant which probably is why we're seeing so many cases despite all the measures taken to curtail and contain it.
This is sad. I can't even get my head around why families continue to keep their elderly in these death camps after the 1st wave killed a large amount of them off.
Quebecers defy lockdown despite crackdown on rule breakers Because we QC'ers are just fed up to the eyeballs with all the restrictions and lockdowns and never-ending BS. Besides the gov't changes it's mind every half hour so how are we supposed to keep on top of what the most current rule is anyhow? I have because of my blog, but most people I know are totally clueless about what they're allowed to do and not do at any given moment and so they've lost interest in even trying to keep up with it and just don't care anymore and I can't say as I blame them.
Of course, because they don't want the truth getting out.
That's the 1st one they found since they started looking for it. But I bet if they went back amongst all the previous tests and looked for the variant in them, they'd find a lot more than just 1 case of it. That's for sure.
I guess it's not only restaurants and bars being shut down when it comes to entertainment....
Not just nursing home patients but seniors living alone probably are too.
Of course they do. I didn't need a study to know that.
88-year-old dies hours after COVID vaccination in second such incident This one could just as easily be an age related death or an underlying health issue as it could be related to the vaccine, in cases like these.
Obviously not for seniors because dimwits R us in Ottawa seem to think we get enough money already, considering we got 1 cheque all pandemic long and we individually get less than what 1/2 of a monthly minimum wage would be. Then you wonder why seniors can't make it and have to decide between rent, medicine, food, and heating each month.... I'd like to see any one of those clowns in Ottawa try to live on what a senior gets for one month and see how far they get. So if they're going to institute this universal basic income they'd better MAKE SURE IT IS UNIVERSAL & EVERYONE INCLUDING SENIORS GETS IT!!!!!! Otherwise there's nothing universal about it, if only a select portion of the needy gets it, while others look on in desperation. Seniors who were supposed to be the target group that needed protecting during this plandemic is the group that basically got forgotten (by being pushed outsight - hence out of mind) and little to no help at all. Especially independant living seniors who don't have any organizations helping them with anything at all. So if it's a UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME - it has better dammed well be UNIVERSAL and not just for some but not for others kind of "universal".
Fact check: Bill Gates, Pfizer CEO both plan to take COVID-19 vaccine But they conveniently forgot to mention which vaccine they'll be taking, but all of these people (except maybe Gates' spawn) are beyond the age for procreation and so even if they wind up sterilized as a result of taking this vaccine it's not going to hurt them. And after googling Albert Bourla the CEO of Pfizer, I'm wondering how good or efficient any human vaccine that's made by a vet is going to be....
Coronavirus latest news: Boris Johnson to move 'heaven and earth' to roll out vaccine and ease tough new restrictions Unlike any of the Cdn politicians who are content to sit on their ashes and dictate all their miserable cancellations and restrictions to us, while they live it up by going to tropical resorts and partying hearty with family & friends etc.... Yeah do as I say, don't do as I do..... Maybe these ash holes should have to face the same repercussions we would have to face if we got caught PLUS LOSE THEIR JOBS ON TOP OF IT. I'm wondering how that clown with 15 people gathered around his Christmas table would like a $22,500 fine for that gathering? Like anyone else would've gotten if they did the same thing. And the others shouldn't have been allowed back in the country at all until the pandemic's completely over with while they lost their jobs and hence source of income. Let them see what it's like living in those areas with no money and cancelled passports etc.... Teach them a frigging lesson. That's how I'd treat the ash hole Cdn politicians who want to party hearty and take extended tropical breaks while the rest of us suffer, when they could be here, trying to find a way to get us out of this pandemic and ways to speed the vaccinations up. Because right now they're being rolled out slower than a freaking snail's pace. At this rate it'll be 3021 December 31st by the time all Canadians have been vaccinated. Gawd even 3rd world countries like Bahrain and India etc are doing better than we are. We're so far behind everyone in everything to with this pandemic that it's pathetic. Well bozo brains and the genocidal beitches Tam & Haggydodo are to blame primarily, but the provincial bozos have something to do with it as well now.
Ontario sees another record-breaking day with more than 3,300 new COVID-19 cases reported, 56 deaths
With gigs dried up, Cape Breton's Ashley MacIsaac wants to play in your living room Well this is definitely a different & unique way of entertaining us. I especially like the email approach.
Quebec faces challenges in vaccine rollout but should still hit targets: expert Why is this proving so freaking difficult for you braindead bozos anyhow? How the hell did we manage to basically inoculate almost the entire population against H1N1 in a few months but you can't get this done in less than a year?????? What about taking the vaccines into schools and administering shots to faculty and students there and then using pharmacies, CLSCs and walk-in clinics to do the rest of the population besides those in long term care and hospitals? I mean gawd wake up and fly right for a change you bunch of pathetic idiots.
Ottawa tenant's eviction a symptom of a larger problem, advocate says Like I said before this is just cruel and unusual punishment for being poor in Ontario, considering there was a moratorium on evictions earlier in the plandemic but now because autumn and winter was upon us, they lifted it. Gawd the politicians that run this country needs to be lined up against a wall in front of a firing squad.
Anyhow, here's wishing everyone a MUCH BETTER, HEALTHIER, HAPPIER & WEALTHIER 2021! Happy New Year!
