Splendid Isolation - Deja Vu Edition 2021 Style

Well Premier Dark Fraud has finally listened to the medical experts and figured out that his emergency brake was in need of a tune up, so we find ourselves in a prolonged lockdown once again. These times are difficult for everyone but researchers are finding that everything about the pandemic is having a far greater impact on marginalized people in our communities: people who live in poverty; Black people; Indigenous people; recent immigrants, etc. This the list of usual folk who suffer more because our societal structures are designed to favour those who have resources and money. Check out the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives for reports on how the pandemic is affecting different communities and for some progressives ideas on how to get out of this pandemic building a more just society. https://www.policyalternatives.ca/ On the Wavelength, all we can do is play some music that addresses themes of loneliness and how we need to work/stick together to overcome the challenges we face right now. Of course we can also play some beautiful instrumental music to fill up your space and hopefully show that there is still lots of beauty in our mad world. Remember to support those in your life who need connection and support at this time. And if you are in need of support and feel you don't have anywhere to turn, consider the Ottawa Distress Centre.
