How the times have changed. I would love to have another all French discussion with my co-worker based out of YUL on what her take today is on this mask/ un-masked agenda. There used to be a time, and a few people I know of fall in that category when a Muslim woman wearing a face-covering was frowned upon. I also can very clearly remember this one time when mum was wearing a face mask due to her condition, was questioned about it. People found it absurd why someone would walk around wearing a face covering. To each, their own doesn’t seem to be the thing out west. People are compliant. Good on them, but don’t forget to questions things. That brain needs to be used, so use it or else you’ll lose it.
Fast forward a few years, we are now frowning upon people who DON’T wish to wear masks. The same people – THE SAME PEOPLE- who had a problem with others covering their faces a few years ago are now walking around with face coverings of their own. Today, the un-masked are not welcome. What changed? The virus has us all toeing the line. Hallelujah!!!
If you ask me, this is the best thing that could have happened. No, I don’t mean the false numbers projecting the rising death rates… let’s all face it, death is inevitable. The fact that now I am working in a cleaner environment with sanitary conditions being up to standards, while walking through the aisles without having to be ‘face sprayed’ by someone’s sneeze or cough, to not having to touch hands, getting to wear gloves while working- this all has been a BOON.
Hopefully, those who were harsh on others for making a personal choice of covering their faces, have now become a bit mellow in accepting that this could be their reality one day. Which it today is. I am so happy the Muslims are off the firing board.
Bring on the new stock to the abattoir <<< the poor, the sick, the elderly, the immigrants and anyone who has a blue collared job. Let the Squid games begin.
Jas out…
