00:00:00.000 where is our humanity i'm thinking that a lot these days as i see these stories about stuff
00:00:13.560 that's going on in society that just isn't right based on pandemic rules or suffering that people
00:00:20.200 are going through that i really don't think they should have to endure or the naming and shaming
00:00:24.500 of people for for breaking various rules and so forth and you go really is this really a national
00:00:30.100 story and there's one national story in relation to a politician that it's really not sitting well
00:00:35.960 with me i was really dismayed to read this ndp leader jagmeet singh found to be breaking covid
00:00:43.660 rules that was the headline oh what is this now we just had a series of stories back around christmas
00:00:49.120 time a number of politicians who demanded canadians stay home don't go anywhere except for essential
00:00:55.500 reasons do not leave your house and then those politicians were found to be traveling around
00:01:00.540 the country traveling outside of the country to some pretty swanky places and a lot of people were
00:01:05.240 really upset at them for that it became you know national uproar of course jagmeet singh was he
00:01:09.280 found to have done that did we just break the news now in the summer that jagmeet was getting up to
00:01:13.760 christmas vacations no no that's not the story you want to know what jagmeet singh did he briefly
00:01:20.100 briefly hugged another human being outdoors that's right jagmeet singh who is vaccinated he's made a
00:01:27.980 post to social media back when he got his vaccine ran into an ndp staffer a guy who you know i guess he
00:01:33.980 liked and he said hey nice to see you and what have you and they gave they had a little bro hug and so
00:01:38.080 forth does that break the rules okay i guess technically it does it did at the time ontario
00:01:44.040 has some pretty strict rules about you know not being outside with someone not in your household
00:01:48.440 and staying six feet apart and so forth so you got jagmeet outdoors vaccinated the other gentleman i
00:01:54.660 don't know whether he's vaccinated or not they do this brief hug okay they didn't follow the rules
00:02:00.060 but look can we have a sense of proportion here i mean on any given day how many millions of canadians
00:02:05.280 are not coming to a complete stop at the stop sign they're doing the rolling stop don't do the
00:02:09.980 rolling stop against the rules you shouldn't be doing it but it's not a national news story when
00:02:15.780 someone does the rolling stop just like it's not a national news story when jagmeet singh say what
00:02:21.880 you like about the guy's politics you know i'm not particularly rooting for him to become the next
00:02:25.480 prime minister but he's a nice guy he's an affable guy see someone maybe hasn't seen him for like a
00:02:30.660 year and a half happy to see him gives him a bit a bit of an embrace gives him a bit of a hug
00:02:35.440 there you go did he break a rule or two yes he did in the grand scheme of things does it matter
00:02:41.760 no it doesn't no it doesn't is it a national news story it is not come on folks let's stop being so
00:02:49.280 so petty so inhumane with so much of this
