    Maybe the “silent majority” is speaking with their actions. Getting their shots. Wearing their masks. Complying with public health rules to keep each other safe. And generally being decent to each other under the horrible and stressful conditions of the past two years.

    It feels like Canada is splintering into two tribes - the intolerant, authoritarian woke lunatics on the left and the spittle-flecked, hateful lunatics on the far-right. Where are the voices of compassion and common-sense? The silent majority needs to speak up.

    For the Americans that follow who don't get the CBC. and do bobsled for CBC. They are tremendous. An impressive combination of knowledge, passion and the ability to build drama.

    For those watching the CBC: That was an absolutely awesome call of Canada's final four-man bobsled run. Great work.

    This dude did tireless data work for a couple of years, especially for those in Ontario who are immune compromised and with elderly (or very young) relatives. But I understand full well his desire to step away from this place.

    It's time to log off. Stay smart, stay safe. Trust science and true data. Get vaccinated. Wear masks. Be kind to those at higher risk. ❤️
