I don't know the proper emoji to use for sarcasm, hence the .... I thought it was clear by the 'it sucks' on the previous line. If I really thought old people are all racists it would be great to keep protesting and kill more old people in the process ;)

Yet true ageism is also at play in this pandemic. The age group mostly responsible for spreading it gets the mildest symptoms and just wants to go back to normal life asap.

Sarcasm doesn't always work well on the internet.  If I misunderstood you, my bad.

No worries. It's all crap right now. Black lives matter and my eyes were opened as well when I read that you are 20x more likely to get shot by the police in Toronto when black. And that's over a year ago already, I didn't even notice it back then :/ My bad.

However now people are having a rally in the town next to us, yet my wife's life matters as well and she is at severe risk to covid19. It was small (hundreds not thousands) and I see lots of face masks in the footage. But local reported cases still keep going up.

Perhaps do something original, like think up new names for Dundas st and plaster them all over the street signs. Plenty to choose from
