It has angered me a lot, because I've essentially lost a year of my life because of this thing and it is just going on and on because we seem too stupid to come together and do the right thing.
THIS.
Political beliefs aside, there has been no country/party/leader that has tackled this pandemic perfectly. Everyone/where has had hurdles and struggles, some bigger than others.
I'm not a fan of Trudeau, and yes, he (and the rest of the government... he isn't single handily controlling this) could of done better... but he also could of done worse. Erin O'Toole, Jasmeet Singh and Annamie Paul (I had to Google that one) would of fucked this up too.
I had a huge hate-on for DoFo pre-COVID, but I respected the way he took the reins when the crisis started. I've swayed back to being less than impressed with him again.
All these politians are human, and hindsight is 20-20. We will look back years from now and be able to look under a microscope to judge their shortcomings... but this is something none of us have lived through, and a lot of decisions are made on informed guesses.
