Mission 3M: Matéo, Maxime & Menzies

Even beyond the grave my wife is giving me a to-do list...

On Saturday morning, I felt a distinct message from her to attend a People's Party of Canada rally happening in not-so-far-off Burlington, Ontario the next day. They were protesting the school board which is allowing a transgender teacher to wear grotesquely large prosthetic breasts while teaching shop class...
 
Other than protesting this unimaginable level of new (ab)normal insanity, I felt my late wife's spirit had three objectives for the mission and they all started with M:

1. See my three-year-old nephew Matéo (who lives near Burlington).
2. Hand PPC party leader Maxime Bernier a signed copy of my novel (in case he's the next prime minister, I could use the publicity).
3. And meet RebelNews reporter David Menzies (whom I'd already mailed a copy of my novel).

A big part of me wanted to just stay home and recover from her recent passing, but I knew she would want me to move forward, knowing that she should be there with me.

So our son Jonah, I and our freedom-fighting friend Pete "Typolino" Toccalino (one of the proofreaders for my novel) headed out on that rainy, autumn morning for the one-and-a-quarter-hour drive to Burlington...
  First stop was meeting my brother, sister-in-law and nephew for lunch at the Bliss Kitchen in Waterdown (a plant-based restaurant that pleased everybody's taste buds with their made-from-scratch creations). Here's a pic of Matéo, with Jonah and me...
  Yes, the little guy's name was the inspiration for Mathéo — the French Canadian character in Much Ado About Corona. I feel a bond to him, as he has the same congenital eye disease as Jonah and I, leaving him blind in one eye (like me).

Arriving just in time for the rally, I found myself questioning if I should have come at all. Asking for a sign from heaven, I stepped out of the van, and around to the trunk where I had copies of my novel and flyers to display and hand out.

"Hey, there's Maxime," said Pete.

I turned around and the PPC leader was getting out of the car behind me.

Bernier graciously accepted the novel, saying he spends so much time on planes that he would read it in flight...
 
My son later told Bernier that if he found out anything bad about him, then he wouldn't vote for him when he turns 18. Bernier, laughed and encouraged him to do his research. Here's a pic of the two of them with Pete...
  Next on Nicole's to-do list was David Menzies, our favourite reporter from RebelNews. Menzies already had a copy of my novel, but said I was a "good salesman" for enticing him to read it by having the characters in the novel talk about him and RebelNews...
And as an extra bonus, I gave three MP candidates and the local PPC youth leader signed copies of the novel, as well as selling a couple others (one to an ICU nurse).

Lastly, I was surprised to run into long-time subscriber Elizabeth Wallace, who recently started reading Much Ado About Corona, and was happy to find it features music from one her favourite Schubert album....
  Matéo. Maxime. And Menzies. All 3Ms. Mission accomplished, Sunflower! (If you don't know why I call my late wife, Sunflower, click here). If I look like I was about to cry in those pictures, I must admit it was a happy-sad day for sure.

Indeed, Nicole often was not well enough for such long trips, including my father's funeral, my brother's wedding, and even the book signing of my novel (I so wish she was in that group picture). But this time, I felt as if she was at my side, and in my heart, the whole time.

PS Here's a RebelNews video with David Menzies from the rally, showing a teacher stealing and vandalizing some of our signs.

PPS "So far, I love the way you have woven the actual science and truths of the whole 'plandemic' into the lives of the characters [in Much Ado About Corona]," Elizabeth Wallace later wrote me in an email. "[I] hope those who are reading your book, who are not awake or 'woke' will get the message and will realize just how mind-controlled humanity has been for centuries."
