Offbeat, odd and awfully sad about National Hugging Day

Now a break from everything else and not a moment too soon. First we have Saskatchewan pals Rylan Parrott and Koltyn Piller racking up more than 16 million TikTok views in just a few days with their extreme ice-fishing exploits. Then, hairdressing and haircuts are not allowed during Ontario’s C-19 crackdown. Or are they? Below that, the lamentable state of National Hugging Day. May it soon return. Lastly, we see UK prime minister Boris Johnson totally gobsmacked as a reporter asks him if he thinks President Biden is woke.
