Election Follies and Funnies #23: some of the good stuff

The polls continue to look positive for the Liberals. But for tonight, I wanted to lead off with this:

A very big moment: I voted for the first time in a Canadian federal election and I am so proud it 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I came to Canada 5 and a half years ago as a refugee. Today, as a proud citizen, I voted because a lot of Canadians have sacrificed so much to protect my right to vote #Elxn44 pic.twitter.com/SRFO5guTnY

There were stupid protests today at hospitals across the country, and my only hope for these people is that somehow they will realize how ridiculous they are.

What's the difference between a Vaccine passport and a Yellow Star? My vaccine passport opens the door to air travel. My grandmother's Yellow Star opened the door to an oven. https://t.co/i1UnuhTPRP

Twitter is back to doing what it does best:

My cousin's friend got the vaccine and BOOM two days later had his car repossessed. Do your research. https://t.co/YnNJD8QrVX

Okay, here's the idea -- we take the Pfizer vaccine and rebrand it as Iverectum, a suppository for treating anal fissures in sheep. Then we start the rumor that it cures COVID and all the anti-vax Republicans will flock to it in large enough numbers to achieve herd immunity.

I don’t need oven mitts. I have an excellent immune system.

Back to the campaign:

We have reached the ‘throw anything and everything at @JustinTrudeau and see if it sticks because things aren’t going well for the opposition’ part of the election. #cdnpoli #Elxn44

Perhaps Singh gets it, but I have seen nothing from O'Toole, Blanchet, Bernier or Paul that would lead me to think they would endorse, or even understand, the positive path Canada has been following toward reconciliation and progress under Trudeau.

When I see these PPC supporters, I think of A E Houseman:
