A journo from Quebec decided he would flee Canada’s Covid lockdown for a vacation in Florida and — SURPRISE! — he was triggered by just how open the Sunshine State actually is:
This is why people not only distrust the corporate media, but hate them. A pro-lockdown journalist from Quebec jets down to Florida for a luxury vacation so he can escape the curfew. And in between cocktails he says how much he hates it there. https://t.co/G3urUN9Zew

He literally opens the article by bragging about how he “fled Quebec” to seek refuge from “curfew-and-confinement rules.” So, why did he come then?
Totally surreal article in the MTL gazette that is beyond parody.
Lede: I recently fled Quebec [to Florida] for a week, a refugee from Legault’s 2.0 curfew-and-confinement rules.
Entire story to follow is about how triggered author is by freedom in FL. https://t.co/tdakeGxWEe

“It’s lunacy by Canadian standards,” he said:
Yup — “It’s lunacy by Canadian standards, but an eye-opening experience. For starters, everyone’s out and about, filling bars, restaurants, movies, gyms, and jam-packed sports arenas.” https://t.co/uqjEQ8JliV

He was also shocked by how easy it was to get tested:
“To fly home we needed a COVID PCR test, almost impossible to come by in Montreal, with lineups hours long at most hospitals…travellers must go to private clinics and pay perhaps $200. Meanwhile, every Florida pharmacy does free PCR tests, even for travelling foreigners.”

And people shaking hands seems to have really bothered him:
"During my visit, I saw some customers shake hands with their waiter, as if to say: 'Thanks, I’ll have some germs for dessert,' Josh Freed writes."https://t.co/GrtUUsQMeu

It’s too bad he flew home already because we’d like to see this happen:
@ChristinaPushaw pls deport.

And, we will admit, it was amusing when the journo called out his fellow journos at the Miami Herald for not covering Covid enough:
This Canadian lockdowner has many complaints about Florida, including that “the prestigious Miami Herald” does not devote sufficient news coverage to COVID https://t.co/CHv95YLV5T
