[POLITICAL][DESIGN] Coward of the Cottage

Inspired by a trending hash-tag on Twitter which was named #cowardofthecottage

The hash-tag was a response to the apparent cowardice of the Canadian Prime Minister self-quarantining himself in his cottage well past the recommended 14 day self quarantine, despite never having been tested for COVID-19.  After 30+ days he finally showed up in parliament.  During those 30 days, his deputy PM and several cabinet ministers (mostly women) met regularly with reporters at press conferences. Other politicians, like the premiere of Ontario, hand-delivered masks to medical facilities.

The icing on the cake was and address by the PM to Canadians to keep self isolating and not to travel to be with family during Easter weekend.  He then promptly traveled to his OTHER cottage to be with HIS family.

Some would say he was demonstrating self-isolation to Canadians, but I disagree. All across the country we have people making not much above minimum wage in various crucial business sectors like grocery stores.   What makes the PM think he is so special?

I'll probably lose some subscribers and views on this blog, but you know what?  I no longer care.

Known for his whimsical socks, perhaps Trudeau himself will be pleased to know that this design is available on socks (and skirts).
