Campus on Steroids

The day before the repeal of the mask mandate here in Quebec, 100% of people I saw here wore masks. Where I live, the day (and the week) before the repeal, maybe 10% wore them. The only place with maniacal 100% compliance was our campus.

Quebec is like our campus on steroids. People have really gotten into the snitching, berating mode. Twice I took a short walk next to my sister’s house, and immediately enraged (I’m not exaggerating, they were extremely emotional) neighbors fell out of the houses to interrogate me about what I was doing there. One of the neighbors tried to sic a dog on me. I wasn’t on their property, or anything like it. But they were completely overwrought. My sister told me these were the people who behaved like total assholes during the pandemic.
