  • I'm bothered by the lack of news surrounding Line 5 and Line 3 pipelines...

    Ongoing fights led by indigenous people and environmental activists in Michigan and Minnesota could potentially lead to the death knell of the oil and gas industry in Canada.

  • I'm bothered by LTC homes ravaged by COVID-19 giving bonuses to execs...

    Long-Term Care homes, which suffered some of the worst casualties and exposure during the pandemic, and were so bad that the military were called in, and the military was so shocked that they needed to bring in mental health experts to deal with the traumatizing things they saw...are paying massive bonuses to their executives. Nationalize these long-term care homes already. They have blood on their hands.

    Maxime Bernier, QAnoners, various online fringe groups and selfish individuals held a big protest in Montreal which led to the closure of Montréal’s Biggest COVID-19 Vaccination Site, thereby extending the very thing these people are out protesting over... -_-

  • I'm bothered by crayons, the Oscars, pandemic news, and more...

    Dear God, there was a LOT to be bothered by this week... -_-

    Between Maple Leaf Foods releasing climate change crayons for Earth Day, Oscar hypocrisy over 'Nomadland', an NFT "tribute" to the late Chadwick Boseman, millions skipping their second doses of Covid vaccines, the unfortunate lockdown in Nova Scotia, and the rise of COVID-19 variants being overlooked as provinces loosened restrictions, it was a deeply frustrating week.

About Bothered Boy

From the publisher's feed

I'm bothered by a lot of things, so every day I aim to post a simple, short, off-the-cuff video expressing my on-the-spot thoughts about whatever is bothering me that day or that moment from the news.
