It’s not yet confirmed if Muoi Ha was the 39th resident to die at Scarborough’s Tendercare Nursing Home as a result of a coronavirus outbreak.
What is confirmed is the 93-year-old with an incredible life story was living the Canadian dream up until last week when the COVID-19 nightmare, which she had successfully been avoiding all year, struck her in the Tendercare facility on McNicoll Ave.
About half of the 420 visitors ordered to self-isolate left Verbier in ‘cloak and dagger’ operation
Hundreds of British tourists fled the upmarket Swiss ski resort of Verbier in a “cloak-and-dagger operation” this week, breaking quarantine rules retroactively put in place to contain the spread of the coronavirus variant first discovered in the UK.
Following the detection of the new mutation of Covid-19 in Britain, Swiss authorities announced on 21 December that all people who had arrived from the UK since 14 December would need to self-isolate for 10 days from their date of arrival.
The new quarantine rules also applied to hundreds of British tourists who had planned to spend the Christmas break in Verbier, an alpine village located in the municipality of Bagnes in Canton du Valais, nicknamed “Little London” by locals for the British visitors who make up 20% of tourists during a typical winter season.
The incident, which occurred in the northeastern city of Belfort, was reported by local media on Saturday. The 20-year-old victim is the son of law enforcement officers.
Everyone except Muslims knows that Islam is the religion of peace.
“You are lucky to be in Paris at this time,” says a friend phoning from New York. “Here, we are like rats in a box, going round and round.”
In the past few weeks I have heard similar lamentations from friends in London and Berlin, not to mention Beirut and Tehran.
It must be the name of Paris that leads our interlocutors into imagining the rosy times that I am supposed to have in these dark and dreary days of the coronavirus pandemic in the City of Light.
NBA ratings took another hit on Christmas Day when under 4 million people turned on the Lakers vs. Mavericks game.
“NBA Christmas Day ratings were off 21% from last year. NFL dunked on NBA head to head, nearly quadrupling the NBA audience,” OutKick’s Clay Travis tweeted about the ratings that day. “To be fair, the NBA had more viewers in communist China, however.”
All pro-sports have lost their allure thanks to going woke.
We were just three weeks into 2020 when Tom Cotton, the Republican senator from Arkansas, implored the country to take the Wuhan coronavirus seriously. The “experts” told us he was out of his mind—there was only a “minuscule” risk of the virus in the United States. “Not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about,” they said. It was xenophobic fear-mongering for President Donald Trump to restrict travel from China.
Then, of course, the virus made it to the United States.
“The Squad” may be no more.
Despite a new class of progressives coming to Congress next term, the band of leading liberal firebrands — led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — is likely to dissolve, insiders say.
“I think the idea of ‘The Squad’ is going to go away, and I think that it is going to be fascinating to see how [AOC] shares the spotlight of progressivism,” one senior Hill staffer told The Post.
I’m old enough, just barely, to remember watching Paul Henderson score his winning goal against the Soviets in the final game of the 1972 Summit Series. I knew that something important had happened, but I didn’t fully understand what it was until much later. Yes, it was hockey, and our national pride was at stake, but there was more to it than that. Team Canada was fighting for our way of life against an adversary that sought to tear it down. The United States was the standard flag bearer in conflicts with the Soviets, but in September 1972 the Canadians were combatants in the Cold War.
At least seven people have been killed by a knife-wielding attacker in north-eastern China, media reports say.
Another seven people were reported wounded in the mass stabbing, which took place in Kaiyuan, a small city in Liaoning province.
Police have arrested a suspect, the state-run Xinhua news agency reports, although a motive remains unclear.
Witnesses described seeing a man stabbing people seemingly at random.
Good thing they have gun control in China.
Democrat vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris has claimed that she grew up celebrating Kwanzaa, but because of the senator’s history of lying about virtually everything, few appear to believe her.
In a ratioed Twitter video posted on Saturday, i.e., on Kwanzaa, the senator stated, “My sister and I, we grew up celebrating Kwanzaa.”
Our Kwanzaa celebrations are one of my favorite childhood memories. The whole family would gather around across multiple generations and we’d tell stories and light the candles.
Whether you’re celebrating this year with those you live with or over Zoom, happy Kwanzaa! pic.twitter.com/21bzGHZpYe

Ontario is reporting 2,005 new COVID-19 cases and 18 new deaths on Sunday, a third straight day of declines after marking a record high earlier in the week.
“Locally, there are 572 new cases in Toronto, 331 in Peel, 207 in York Region and 140 in Windsor-Essex County,” Health Minister Christine Elliott wrote on Twitter.
Canada confirms first two cases of mutant COVID strain from the UK: Fears grow that super-infectious virus is already spreading through North America after doctors said travel restrictions were imposed too late
I have a New Year’s resolution for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
After more than five years in power, he should take responsibility for his decisions, as opposed to blaming others.
Canadians stranded in the United Kingdom are facing uncertainty around how or when they will be able to get home and in some cases where they will stay while waiting out the travel ban.
Brooke Johnston, 42, is from Ontario’s Niagara Region but had travelled to London for work. Her contract ended on Dec. 18, and she had been preparing to leave when Canada suspended all commercial and private passenger flights from Britain.
That initial 72-hour suspension on flights from the U.K. has now been extended for two weeks until Jan. 6, as Canada tries to prevent a new variant of the novel coronavirus detected there from spreading here.
The comments on this piece are virtually 100% against government assistance for anyone who travelled despite government advice to avoid doing so during the pandemic.
After a handful of fans voiced their displeasure before a December 15 game against Colchester, the club reacted by launching an investigation.
“Each case has been looked at separately,” the club said in a statement. “Conclusions reached range from education and support without any ban through to bans to the end of the season with season tickets refunded.”
The camper van blast in Nashville on Christmas Day was probably a suicide bombing, law enforcement officials are quoted as saying by US media.
Investigators are conducting DNA tests after human remains were found near the site of the powerful blast.
The home of a possible person of interest was searched on Saturday in Nashville’s suburb of Antioch.
The blast injured three people and disrupted communications systems in Tennessee and four other states.
