Give your story a title.

""Covid barely kills anyone," says man who would probably be pretty annoyed if we killed him"

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

Satirical news article

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

Satirical news articles are interesting sources, because they present the views of the Canadian public in subversive ways. Unlike mainstream media sources, where their point is clear from their headline, satirical media uses comedy to mask their true thoughts with a witty joke. Humor is an excellent way to remember and think about anti-maskers.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
