A secret location, three meals a day, free Wi-Fi … but Toronto’s isolation hotel has been short on one thing: COVID patients

Visitors to the Toronto Voluntary Isolation Centre get free Wi-Fi, three catered meals daily, and a personalized welcome note from medical officer of health Dr. Eileen de Villa — but no room key, an effort to encourage those with COVID-19 to stay inside their rooms.

The isolation hotel, the first of its kind in Canada when it opened three months ago, is by all accounts safe, quiet and comfortable. Yet only about 150 people have opted to use the facility so far, a fraction of its peak capacity.

It’s not because of a lack of need. Cramped, unsuitable housing, where self-isolation may be difficult or impossible, continues to be a major driver of new infections in the city, data suggests.

Etobicoke BBQ Restaurant to Reopen on Condition That Owner Obtain Business Licence

A Toronto restaurant is allowed to reopen its takeout and delivery services after its owner was charged for openly defying provincial COVID-19 orders to close last month.

Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto’s medical officer of health, released a statement on Dec. 14, lifting the requirements of the Section 22 order under the Health Protection and Promotion Act (HPPA) that ordered the closure of Adamson Barbecue in Etobicoke.

CRA sent 441,000 ‘education letters’ to Canadians who may have to repay CERB benefits

The new figure provided by CRA suggests how broad the problem might be. According to federal figures, 8.9 million Canadians applied for CERB. That means nearly 5 per cent of applicants have received letters saying they may not be eligible and could be forced to repay benefits.

As leftists double down on lockdowns, are we being played?

As leftists double down on lockdowns, are we being played?

I’m a pandemic skeptic. I know that the Wuhan virus is real and dangerous for some people. Still, I cannot get excited about a disease with an average 99% survival rate. I believe that the Democrats weaponized the virus to defeat President Trump, and I think Democrats are still working the virus to weaken working- and middle-class Americans (i.e., Trump-supporters) while enriching the Democrats’ corporate cronies. I’m cynical, paranoid, or a realist — or all three. This weekend, information emerged supporting my viewpoint.

Government Coercion Backfires in Fighting COVID-19 – Their draconian measures and hypocrisy in following them come at a cost.

Government Coercion Backfires in Fighting COVID-19 – Their draconian measures and hypocrisy in following them come at a cost.

Influence, persuasion, and communication are complicated matters that politicians must navigate to limit the spread of COVID-19. Most people feel a strong responsibility to reduce the spread of infection. This has given authorities legitimacy to introduce strict measures, such as harsh restrictions and punitive penalties aimed at companies, organizations, and individuals. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and other politicians don’t obey the intrusive restrictions they place on others. Yet the coercive power displayed through such restrictions as business lockdowns and stay-at-home orders frequently leads to increases in drug use, suicide rates, depression, unemployment, and economic ruin.

Vaccines, Legal Liability & Learning from History

…As I’ve discussed previously, a small number of people who received Pandemrix, one of the H1N1 vaccines, later developed narcolepsy – an incurable, life-altering disease. The connection was first noticed in Scandinavian countries such as Sweden, where vaccination rates tend to be high.

In Finland, children aged 16 and under were diagnosed with narcolepsy 17 times as often in 2010 as had been the case between 2002 and 2009. Most of those stricken developed symptoms serious enough to impair their daily lives within a few months of receiving Pandemrix.

Tory wants owners of bar that opened against lockdown orders named and shamed

Toronto Mayor John Tory says that he wants the two people accused of operating a bar in violation of lockdown orders over the weekend to be named and shamed if at all possible.

Toronto police say that after midnight on Sunday, they went to a business in the Queen and Portland streets area.

After being held up for nearly an hour, police allegedly found 30-40 people inside and say the business was being used as a makeshift bar.

A Twitter Thread on Lockdowns Paints a Dismal Picture for Post-COVID-19 Recovery

A Twitter Thread on Lockdowns Paints a Dismal Picture for Post-COVID-19 Recovery

On Twitter, author and attorney Michael P. Senger put together a well-sourced thread on the consequences of lockdowns. To be transparent, he is openly anti-lockdown and believes the lockdowns are a consequence of Chinese Communist Party propaganda to harm other nations. While the intentions of the CCP are debatable, the China threat to the United States and the West generally is not. Recently this was confirmed in a speech from a Chinese professor of economics and an editorial from America’s Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe.

First, even if the virus was not designed as a bioweapon, the CCP used it like one.

RINNER: Canada’s current pandemic response isn’t supported by the facts

RINNER: Canada’s current pandemic response isn’t supported by the facts

A few weeks ago, British philosophers Ian James Kidd and Matthew Ratcliffe wrote about “Covidworld, our new altered reality where accepted norms do not apply.” They note how the entire planet is captivated by COVID-19 as the one and only issue of importance. And they describe the “enormous and wide-ranging collateral damage caused by lockdowns and other measures.” Like many critics of the ongoing tunnel vision on SARS-CoV-2, I am concerned about the lack of proportion in our collective response and allege that this response is not backed by the facts about the pandemic.

Bill Gates says bars and restaurants should ‘sadly’ be closed for 4-6 months, no return to ‘normal’ until 2022

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates believes a return to “normal” life is further down the road for the US than people expect, despite a Covid-19 vaccine being approved and distributed this week.

Conceding that by the summer of 2021, the US should be “way closer to normal than we are now,” Gates, who has donated millions to vaccination efforts through his foundation, believes a full return to normal will likely not be possible until after 2022.

Americans Said No to Coronavirus Contact Tracing Spy Apps

But will they be able to stay off the “national server” if the Democrats take over?

When the NHS, Britain’s socialized medicine system, debuted its contact tracing app, six million eagerly rushed to download it. After a few days, 10 million had downloaded and installed the app, and after a month, around 40% of smartphone users had put a monitoring device on their phones that would trace their social interactions and could tell them to isolate at any moment.
