February brings us Groundhog Day, an 1800\u2019s European tradition, previously known as Badger Day, whereby the animal emerges from its burrow and predicts the arrival of Spring, based on it’s shadow.<\/p>\r\n
The popularity of this day grew with the 1993 movie by the same name, which used \u201cGroundhog Day\u201d as a term that meant repeating something over and over. How fitting, as we enter the third February of the pandemic, repeating this exhaustive and draining cycle, as if stuck on replay.<\/p>\r\n
Along with all healthcare workers, RT\u2019s have felt no reprieve, with each day seemingly replicated from the day prior. When will this end?\u00a0 Spring must be close.<\/p>\r\n
As Bill Murray said \u201cThere is no way that this winter is ever going to end as long as the groundhog keeps seeing his shadow.\u00a0 I don\u2019t see any other way out.\u00a0 He\u2019s got to be stopped.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
On February 2, 2022, Wiarton Willie, the famous Ontario groundhog, did not see his shadow and therefore has predicted an early spring.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
In history, all pandemics end.\u00a0 Winter ends.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
Spring will come.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
