Brickbat: It Only Comes Out at Night

Quebec Premier François Legault has imposed a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew to battle the spread of COVID-19. Legault has also barred gatherings at private homes. Only caregivers and people who live alone will be able to enter other households. He has also banned inside dining at restaurants.

I like the journalism going on in the linked article. Pure stenography.

I know we’re all tired but it’s my responsibility to protect all ourselves from this.

I don't think Orwell could've taken enough drugs to drive himself this crazy. Huxley maybe.

[Brett Bellmore]

At one time, Canada was a relatively free country. Decades ago.

[Minadin]

Free Rufus!

[Mother's Lament]

Quebec was never free.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

To be fair, French people have never believed in true freedom.

[Fats of Fury]

Maske Macht Frei.

Next you’ll tell us that Quebec has banned English in an effort to battle the spread of covid.

[MatthewSlyfield]

Don't give them ideas.

English, but also German and Hebrew. More glottal stops = more covid transmission.

Seigneur, quel connard.

Can't you just identify as being in a different time zone? Greenwich Mean Time is a European colonialist scheme forced upon 1st Nation Peoples by White Supremacists!

Covid power grabs > Race baiting power grabs

Looks like they might have to change the Oh, Canada lyric from "The True North strong and free" to "The True North cowardly".

"He has also banned inside dining at restaurants."

So how long before Legault is caught dining with other elites at some posh restaurant? Is there a place in Quebec called the English Laundry?

Anyone who does so has violated curfew.

[Á àß äẞç ãþÇđ âÞ¢Đæ ǎB€Ðëf ảhf]

I mean, anyone who catches the rich and powerful en flagrante has violated the poor man's curfew.

[MatthewSlyfield]

No, because in Quebec it would be the Blanchisserie Anglaise.

[mad.casual]

So, at first, I assumed it would 'also' be Blanchisserie Francoise. But then I remembered that this is post-truth Earth, where 'Mother' is an ugly, unnecessarily gendered word, 'connoisseur' isn't, 'latino' is divisive, and 'surveillance' isn't...

Fuck Joe Biden.

Without the American left running cover for authoritarian schemes, none of these lesser countries and regions would have the balls to do these things. Biden and his ilk have empowered assholes throughout the modern world.

It can't happen here.
