A confession: I totally lost track of what was going on early in this week’s episode of TVO’s
Political Blind Date and had to rewind a bit because of some shots (circa summer 2020) of the lovely southwest Ontario countryside, briefly visible from the windows of cars being driven by MPP Taras Natyshak and MP Dave Epp. It shouldn’t have been that difficult to pay attention to what they were saying, but it’s currently a pretty grim winter in Toronto, and the sight of green, sunlit farmers’ fields in a part of the province I badly miss driving around was incredibly distracting and made me feel the current restrictions on our movement even more keenly.
