WARMINGTON: City of Toronto staffer and others flock across freedom border

WARMINGTON: City of Toronto staffer and others flock across freedom border

Even locked down City of Toronto workers are heading to the land of freedom and opportunity called York Region.

But this City of Toronto car was hardly the only representation at the corner of Steeles Ave. W. and Dufferin St., which has become one of those bizarre border points. There are so many great places to patronize on both sides of the street.


My hair is an ungodly mess, in fact I am at least three months past due for a cut, given I’m under home quarantine through the 19th ain’t nothin can be done even if I wanted to.

I could scoot up to Vaughan or wherever once freed but the guy who cut Kathy’s and my own hair for the last 20 years is still closed thanks to our Covid commissars.

He survived the 1st lockdown but just barely. He always treated Kathy so well I promised I would wait till he was open again to help keep him afloat.

Even if it means looking like Cousin it.

Ontario reports 1,371 new covid cases… Tam, Hajdu endorse Astra Zeneca jab so now you know to steer clear of it

Tam, Hajdu confident in Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine

OTTAWA — Canada’s top doctor and federal health minister say they see no reason to halt the use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine in Canada, as other countries have done citing blood clots following inoculations.

Speaking to Evan Solomon, host of CTV News Channel’s Power Play, on Thursday, Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam said that because Canada hasn’t been supplied with the same batch of AstraZeneca vaccines as the several European countries who have suspended its use, there’s no need to follow suit.

If they’re endorsing it I’m staying away.

Federal emails: COVID “accelerating in Canada” while Trudeau gov’t claimed “low-risk”

Canada’s chief public health officer Theresa Tam described COVID-19 as “low-risk” up until a few days before internal Trudeau government emails discussed the “accelerating” situation in Canada compared to China.

COVID-19 was “mostly under control in China, but accelerating in Canada” according to a March 20, 2020 email sent from Privy Council Office staffer David Hamilton.

Canada’s health minister: Gov’t ‘working on the idea of vaccine passports’

Canada’s health minister Patty Hajdu said the government is “certainly working on the idea of vaccine passports” with its fellow G7 partners.

“I was on a call with my G7 health minister counterparts just a couple of weeks ago and that is a very live issue,” Hajdu explained last Sunday on CTV’s Question Period. “We’ll be coming back to Canadians as we understand more about the intentions of our counterparts internationally, and as we understand more about how that will unfold around the world,” she explained.

‘We now have two pandemics’: Variant COVID-19 cases soar in Ontario

‘We now have two pandemics’: Variant COVID-19 cases soar in Ontario

Faster-spreading and potentially deadlier variants of the coronavirus are now responsible for around 40 per cent of new cases in Ontario, a figure that experts say should be a warning to the entire country about the threat of a third wave that could outpace vaccinations.

Ontario’s COVID-19 science advisory table is publishing a brief about the variants on Thursday, along with a new dashboard separating traditional cases from those screening positive for a mutation that signals one of three variants of concern.

In Some Countries, Lockdowns May Be the “New Normal”

With such flawed studies and claims regularly echoed by politicians and media outlets—and with, of course, covid-19 posing a genuine threat to a small percentage of populations—it is understandable that the public can be scared into submission. Propaganda is propaganda, whether based on truth, lies, or a mixture of both. Since early 2020, in many European countries and some US states, we’ve seen that this social subservience has happened on a massive scale, and without much resistance.

Denmark pauses use of AstraZeneca vaccine to investigate blood clot reports – Norway and Iceland follow with temporary suspension while Italy pauses use of one batch

Denmark pauses use of AstraZeneca vaccine to investigate blood clot reports – Norway and Iceland follow with temporary suspension while Italy pauses use of one batch

Denmark, Norway and Iceland have said they are temporarily suspending inoculations with the AstraZeneca vaccine as a precautionary measure, after blood clots formed in several people who had received the jab.

Italy’s national medicines authority also said it was banning the use of one batch of the AstraZeneca shot after being notified of “some serious adverse effects”, but stressed the move was precautionary and no link had yet been established with the vaccine.

This is the same crap Ontario is rolling out via pharmacies. I qualify in the age group targeted but have a lot of doubt about the Astra Zeneca jab. Something does not seem right.


Significant number of Ontario PSWs refuse their COVID vaccine

It looks like Premier Doug Ford let the cat out of the bag when it comes to some health-care workers refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine offered to them.

Earlier this week, the Ontario Ministry of Health responded to a question from this newspaper by saying that they don’t track health-care workers who take, or don’t take, the COVID vaccine they are offered.

Turns out that’s not true and the government does have some detailed numbers.

Canada to mark national day of observance to commemorate those who died of COVID-19

OTTAWA – Canada will mark the one-year anniversary today of the World Health Organization declaring COVID-19 a global pandemic.

Earlier this week Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is to deliver a statement in the House of Commons this morning, designated March 11 a national day of observance to commemorate those who have died.

The government has asked Canadians to think about those whose lives were claimed by the novel coronavirus, as well as the health-care and other essential workers who have been on the front lines.

CNN is wringing the last drops of panic from the coronavirus pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic was the best thing to happen to CNN since Donald Trump.

What drama! What fear! What potential for ratings! Rarely has the old journalism aphorism “if it bleeds, it leads” gotten such mileage.

When the virus first came to the United States, CNN was dismissive. There were bigger, sexier stories to worry about, including Trump’s impeachment trial.

Then, as COVID-19 infections and fatalities ticked up, CNN suddenly became interested in the viral outbreak, focusing its attention almost entirely on the Trump administration’s sluggish and unfocused response. CNN went all-in on hysteria, death counts, and social distance scolding. Now, CNN’s programming is dedicated largely to squeezing the last few drops of panic from the pandemic, its guests and hosts warning viewers repeatedly that, even with the creation and distribution of new vaccines, things are far from “normal” and that you should stay frightened.

It’s still dangerous out there! Tune in tonight to learn what you can do to protect yourself!

Trudeau Liberals ‘double down on fake investment,’ say Conservatives

Conservative Party MPs released a statement accusing the Trudeau Liberals of “doubling down” on a fake investment of $30 million to a Nova Scotia PPE manufacturer.

“The simple fact is that no investment exists,” wrote Pierre Paul-Hus, Conservative Shadow Minister for Public Services and Procurement, and Chris d’Entremont, Conservative MP for West Nova.

The statement calls on the Liberals to stop their campaign of “misleading Canadians on their fake investments.”

FUREY: StatsCan report looks at undetected cancers, other harms caused by restrictions

A new Statistics Canada report that highlights delayed cancer screenings, mental health woes and the damage caused to low-income Canadians is a damning indictment on the many voices who called for ever-tighter lockdowns without appropriate concern for the harms that they were inflicting on their fellow Canadians.
