It’s taken 20 years, but the Toronto Sun finally decided to publicly be what we know they are. An alt-right conspiracy publication run by alt-right conspiracy theorists.

A very important piece by a prof who breaks down why eliminating mask rules in Ontario schools is in fact the key to keeping schools open. Ontario parents, give this a read with an open mind:https://t.co/5tsjp4GcGE

The Sun:Ontarians often wonder why British Columbia was able to keep its schools open last school year despite never mandating masks on young children, while Ontario mandated masks on children as young as kindergarteners and still ended up with shuttered schools.

The answer is hidden in the question itself.

Because BC never mandated masks for all school children, there was less unfounded fear about schools among the public, hence there was less demand for school closures.

In Ontario, all children were forced to wear masks in schools–most inexplicably also outside. Ontarians mistakenly learned to associate children and schools with significant Covid spread. This made school closures all too easy politically. The assault on the rights of Ontario’s children was baked in before the school year even started.

Void of medical info, Mikko’s entire swipe at masking students comes with no source material other than one study (hyperlinked) because he’s an anti-vaxxer who doesn’t want to wear a mask.

Ontario's school closure again lacks any assessment of the harm this will cause to children's health and life expectancy. As I wrote in January, if politicians were forced to acknowledge the MASSIVE size of these impacts, schools would NOT close. @Sfleccehttps://t.co/zU8aP5ntWT pic.twitter.com/UykcFtqL7Z

"That is about protecting our young people, it is about protecting Canadians."

Incredible. As if banning unvaccinated from planes & trains is not disturbing enough, PM @JustinTrudeau justifies this discrimination by fomenting UNFOUNDED fears about children and Covid. #cdnpoli https://t.co/qSJElJEmDI

When Mikko Packalen is writing papers on how to organize science textbooks for GOOGLE (that’s a fact) he’s an economics professor at the University of Waterloo.

He has ZERO medical training and has no background in human sciences.  He’s a fucking math nerd who The Toronto Sun Commissioned to write a hit piece on masks because they either A) paid him to do it or B) are using him to write pieces Sun staff writers can’t because they’re conspiracy cowards.

Packalen’s entire MO is the same as every other conspiracy theorist’s: Make everyone else doubt science at all costs.  Because he’s a prof, he somehow has it in his poisoned balding head that his opinion can be ported into other areas.  He’s confusing his ego with science, which is how you know Mikko Packalan is a scared little boy with an economics degree who doesn’t like needles or being told what to do.  That shared sense of entitlement powers stupidity, and the Toronto Sun is all about it.

I’m happy the Sun is going ‘Stormfront” light.  They only employ alt-right agitators in Doug Ford’s direction and their publisher, Adrianne Batra, is one of Doug Ford’s advisors (Rob Ford’s old press weasel).

Fellow scribe Brian Lilley (who founded Rebel News w Ezra Levant) left his wife for Doug Ford’s press secretary.

Joe Warmington is the crayon and sippy cup version of Brian Lilley.

Anthony Furey?  Never heard of him but who fucking cares.  If he’s perpetuating the maskless myth where my kids are concerned, he can fuck off too.

Top to bottom, The Toronto Sun is chock-full of partisans who’d trade their own families for a front-page article.  If that means embracing a culture full of lying, poorly educated, human skin tags to sell paper or curate a science-free narrative, no problem.  It’s The Toronto Sun’s wheelhouse.

Then there’s the ‘quality of work’ issue.

I say this with no hint of exaggeration or slander: @TheTorontoSun is the dumbest form of journalism available to Canadians today. Dumber than Fox News or OAN.

Big letters, small thoughts, and pictures of scantily-clad women.

Definition of lowest common denominator.

Don’t read the Toronto Sun.  Take it with you on camping trips to light fires and wipe your ass.  It’s cheaper than kindling and toilet paper and is more useful as a shit ticket than a mental point of reference for anything worthwhile.

And if you see Mikko Packalen, remind him to stay in his fucking lane with all the other dumb fucks who think the degrees on their walls come with respect.  They don’t. He’s a math nerd who’s scared of needles and masks and his opinion is fucking worthless.

Happy SUNDAY!
