What do you call it when someone who has bought into the conspiracy theories about COVID ends up testing positive for the virus?

Almost half of Canadians feel the worst of the pandemic is behind us. And almost the same number want us to be cautious as we end restrictions. And there's just one huge goal as we near the end of this marathon. And that's to help as many as possible get to the finish line.

We're all getting some Valentine love with phase one of the easing of some of the public health restrictions starting on February 14th. It's the cresting of the Omicron wave and all of the work Nova Scotians have done in the past two years that will see us eventually living free of pandemic restrictions.

There are still a lot of people tilting at windmills when we're nearing the end of a real battle. This is why I don't read the comments of those who aren't truly listening to what I and the science have been saying.

Who do you think will be claiming victory when it is time to unravel the public health restrictions? Let's give the credit to the ones who deserve it; the vaccinated.

You know how some people have been complaining about their "freedom" and the on-going pandemic? Those are definitely not the members of the Canadian Women's Olympic hockey team.

A lot of people are complaining about the government. And a lot of those Canadians have long toes.

One of the demands of the people involved in the trucker's protest was for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign. It turns out another political leader has fallen, in part because of what's behind the Freedom Convoy.

I'm having the feeling that we've been here before. And it feels just like it did a decade ago when power rates were political. Maybe it's different this time.

Will honking air horns and jammed streets change public health policy? Or will a legal argument presented by hundreds of lawyers sway policy makers? Both situations are playing out right now as we long for an end to the pandemic.
