COVID-19 was among the worst diseases to hit Canada in the past 100 years or more. In my opinion, it was handled worse than any previous disease. I won’t argue that vaccines were wrong, although there is a lot of evidence that the benefits of vaccines were highly over-promoted. I would daresay that vaccines should not have been compulsory and there are those who will vehemently disagree with me. It’s just that, in general terms, I am very wary of anything being compulsory. There were people who didn’t get vaccinated who died from C-19 but there were a lot of people who didn’t get vaccinated who didn’t even get sick.

Our slightly changing work and life patterns have taken us on many road trips this year. We travel every week to Rivers to deliver papers and we have had several trips to follow our great grandsons’ very young sports careers. All our trips have been day trips and that means eating on the road. If I don’t mention a particular food establishment in this column, it’s not meant as a slight, it just means we haven’t been there yet.
