The new COVID-19 policy will take effect on Oct. 25, Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) announced on Thursday morning.
“Providing proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test is now standard practice to access many businesses, services, and venues,” said Penny McCune, chief operating officer for SGI’s Auto Fund. “This will improve safety for our customers and employees.”
The CDC has verified there is vaccinated asymptomatic transmission. Nothing make sense anymore.
Have you noticed how events in Canada have really moved in only one direction?
Acting Senior Sergeant Krystle Mitchell has appeared on The Discernible Interviews channel on YouTube on Friday, wearing her dark-blue uniform and revealing that she had been “troubled” by how police resources have been applied during the pandemic by state authorities.

China’s President Xi Jinping has said that “reunification” with Taiwan “must be fulfilled”, as heightened tensions over the island continue.
Mr Xi said unification should be achieved peacefully, but warned that the Chinese people had a “glorious tradition” of opposing separatism.
In response, Taiwan said its future lay in the hands of its people.
Taiwan considers itself a sovereign state, while China views it as a breakaway province.
There are at least three levels of crazy here:
1. She was suspended from school for not wearing a mask.
2. She was arrested and jailed for it.
3. THEY PUT THE ENTIRE SCHOOL ON LOCKDOWN.
And all this in the reddest red state. https://t.co/rwJ7xRM341

Ontario reports 654 new COVID-19 cases as capacity limits lifted in select settings
Ontario reported more than 650 new COVID-19 cases and two more deaths on Saturday as the province lifted capacity limits for select indoor and outdoor settings.
Provincial health officials logged 654 new infections today, a notable jump from 573 cases on Friday but down from 702 cases reported a week ago.
Ask family members if they’re vaccinated before inviting to Thanksgiving, top doctors say
Canada’s top doctors say you should ask your family members if they’ve been vaccinated against COVID-19 before you invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner.
Depending on their answer, they added, you might want to change your plans, move dinner outside, or add extra precautions to your event.
“Our advice really is that, overall, keep indoor gatherings safer by asking your guests … your family… whether they’ve been vaccinated or not,” said Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam.
Like we need advice from that buzzard.
Exempted employees include call centre operators, federal judges, meat inspectors, park wardens, postal workers, tax auditors, Commons and Senate staff, soldiers, sailors and air crew and members of the public entering federal buildings.
Betcha they’ll be given special dispensation to enter businesses and events that require proof of vaccinations.
Government forcing employees working from home to be vaccinated, or universities requiring it for students taking online courses, is proof that it has nothing to do with the science. It’s a witch hunt.

They are separating the compliant from the noncompliant.
In a letter sent yesterday to the union representing TTC workers, first obtained by the Toronto Star, the TTC said it was delaying the signup sheet for shifts next week due to a potential worker shortage as a result of the mandatory vaccination policy.
The first COVID-19 vaccine for kids under 12 could be in front of Health Canada’s review team in just days, and Pfizer expects to start shipping a new pediatric formulation of its vaccine shortly after it gets the green light.
Political pundit Megyn Kelly pinned the “f***ers” who “lied” to people about the origins of the coronavirus .
In addition to China , she criticized the Biden administration and EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak for the millions of deaths due to the pandemic. Daszak, a zoologist, worked with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and reportedly allocated U.S. government grants to facilities conducting gain-of-function research.
Toronto Police Det.-Const. Adrienne Gilvesy is the same good cop she was before the coronavirus vaccine arrived.
Her skills, passion and work ethic to keep Toronto safe has not changed. The landscape she works in has.
The vaccine mandate that requires federal employees from core public services to be fully immunized against COVID-19 has constitutional issues that implicate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom, an Ontario lawyer says.
“There are several sections of the Charter of Rights that are implicated by mandating vaccines, generally speaking,” said Ryan O’Connor, a Toronto-based litigator who specializes in areas such as employment and appeals, and also advises clients on matters involving federal and provincial legislation.
Ontario reports 573 new COVID-19 cases; 10 additional deaths
Ontario reported 573 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday along with 10 additional deaths, as the province’s hospital burden continued a slow decline and active cases fell to a fresh multi-month low.
The seven-day rolling average of new cases continues to drop, now standing at 551, down from 565 yesterday and 597 one week ago.
Alarmed by COVID-19, Ontario seniors want to live in their homes as long as possible: poll
Nearly 90 per cent of Ontarians aged 55+ say they want to stay in their own home and remain out of the province’s retirement and long-term care system as long as possible, especially because of what COVID-19 has wrought on those facilities, a new poll finds.
The poll conducted in late September found 89 per cent of respondents plan to stay in their own home or apartment for as long as possible, while four per cent planned to move in to a retirement residence or with a family member.
Who can blame them, LTC homes and hospitals were death traps.
The vast majority of Canadians have expressed interest in receiving a booster shot of COVID-19 vaccine, according to a new survey from Nanos Research.
According to the national survey, which was commissioned by CTV News, the majority are interested (69 per cent) or somewhat interested (15 per cent) in getting the third dose of vaccine.
