“The political system that you have created is all about competition. You cheat when you can, because all that matters is to win, to get power.

“By way of contrast, I am hearing reports of white Canadians who are refusing to wear masks, who are vehemently opposed to abiding by the public health measures that would help protect vulnerable people from contracting the virus. Refusing a sacrifice so small, a slight physical discomfort, to protect this society’s elders—their elders too!—its healthcare workers and its immunocompromised. Simply because they are drunk on this society’s individualism, and do not wish, I suppose, to be inconvenienced for the sake of another, not if it means being “told what to do.”
