In @iamomeara's Masses on Radar "every poem contains flashes of literary gold; not the gold of glitter but real literate gold, words in combinations never before seen but that shine with brilliance." Read @MarkFrutkin's full review on the Arc website at ow.ly/nfnx50LbfGV!

Why do some politicians never mention the 45,662 Canadians who died of COVID? Or their families? As if they are not victims of the pandemic? Or the healthcare workers who worked over-time under brutal conditions and risked their own families health? 🤔
I wanted to clarify my comments at yesterday's press conference. Here is my full statement:

If there's anything I've been completely consistent with it's not giving one f**k about the Kardashians.
