Why would you do that if there’s no upside for finding out that someone’s not sick? Why are you insisting that people still quarantine if they are healthy, and you know they’re healthy?

FUREY: Canadians deserve more open debate about lockdowns
The other week Brian Lilley and I engaged in a video debate about lockdowns that was posted to YouTube.
My perspective was, broadly speaking, that many of the current restrictions in Ontario aren’t really necessary and they need to be rolled back. I won’t speak for Brian — you can find the video online to hear what we both had to say — but he had a differing opinion from some of the points I made.

COMMENTARY: Ottawa’s management of COVID-19 vaccine file leaves much to be desired
Canadians are understandably feeling anxious and impatient when it comes to the question of vaccine availability.
After all, Canada is falling behind numerous other countries when it comes to overall percentage of the population that’s been vaccinated, we’ve seen disruptions in the delivery of the two vaccines that have been approved for use here, and we’re hearing all sorts of protectionist rumblings that could further disrupt — or block — vaccine shipments.
