In Wiarton, Ont., the community's famous albino groundhog, Wiarton Willie, was nowhere to be seen as officials called an early spring after throwing a fur hat into the air — a move they said hearkens back to the tradition's first edition more than 60 years ago.

Love to hear we will have an early spring
Thank Christ for that.
Doug Ford saw his shadow.. 6 more weeks of lockdown. “Stay a la maison”
Fordo hasn’t seen his Wiarton Willie in years, he needs to lay off the cheesecake!
@fuelerr same here though. Gotta jump back real quick just to see it 😞
🤣🤣🤣
No.o.o.o.o.o.o.o
With Doug’s built body, he will always see his shadow even in the dark.
There’s no actual groundhog?
I know right!!! Totally killed my happy childhood illusion that an actual groundhog could predict weather!🥺
Covid got em
Wait… where the hell is the groundhog?
Oh look, Trudeau and Ford ruined it. *barf*
Remember when rightwingers blamed Kathleen Wynne for all their problems? Simpler times, same faux outrage. Sit down.
Spring weather may come early, yet – much like GOT – ‘Winter has come’ with the present government…
Flowers are budding already, pretty sure its an early spring.
The ground hog day is set back for fourteen days because the ground hog is self quarantining .
Lol! 👍🏽☺️
Willie is going to be given a social distancing ticket if he comes out for an early spring…
I was hoping it would predict the early exit of some politicians.
Oh well, I’ll take the early spring.
No kidding, Kenney in Alberta, Ford in Ontario, Higgs in NB, did I miss any rightwingers who cut funding for healthcare prior to this pandemic?
Can’t wait to see the girls in their Maskinis!! Whooo Hooo!!
Glad to see that Willie broke the provincial “Stay At Home” order and went outside. Was he wearing a mask?
Cry some more
@Cole S Hypocrite …
@*trigger warning I IDENTIFY AS CAPS LOCK STOP BEING INTOLERANT TO MY FELLOW CAPITAL LETTERS fact over feelings, hypocrite
@Cole S The fact he wasn’t wearing a mask, moron!
Heck Yeah he does! The alternative was Wiarton Willie Stew!
Sometimes they wear a mask, sometimes they don’t. But it’s all science though!
I can alwals count on Willi for an early spring
It’s been groundhog day since the lockdown started.
So they invented groundhog day just to attract more money and cash in
In Canada, when Trudeau emerges from his cottage and he sees a microphone, there will be 6 more weeks of lockdown.
