I flew into YYC last night. This morning, I was exploring Calgary a little. I think it’s safe to say that the city is no longer a “conservative” metropolis.

I met some longtime friends for breakfast. Very nice people both. Very well educated both. But, during breakfast, when one of my friends expressed exasperation about the “craziness during Covid”, especially in regard to the health & welfare of her grandchildren, I chimed in, “Oh, you mean even more so now after the Anthony Fauci debacle?” She shut me down in record time with: “Yeah, we complete disagree with you about that so let’s not talk about it.”

I did, of course, say no more because long ago I realized that each person had to figure things out for themselves, but I got to thinking ever since, how on earth could anyone defend Anthony “Fifth Amendment” Fauci after what was revealed this past summer?!? I ask that question sincerely and simply do not understand how anyone could. But in the interest of fairness, I asked Grok.
