Nova Scotia is heading back into another COVID-19 lockdown where party guests in western and central parts of the province risk $1,000 fines and “faith-based activities” are paused.
Old Order Mennonites have had their churches and schools forcibly closed following what the local health authority deemed an “outbreak” of COVID-19.
Adamson Barbecue at 7 Queen Elizabeth Blvd. in Etobicoke opened its doors again on Wednesday morning despite warnings from authorities that they would be shut down and fined if they did so.
1,373 new cases and 35 new deaths
Police expected to have presence outside Etobicoke BBQ restaurant that was ordered to close after flouting lockdown rules
Police are expected to have a presence this morning outside an Etobicoke barbecue restaurant that was ordered to close indefinitely after openly flouting public health restrictions prohibiting on-site dining.
Adamson Barbecue owner Adam Skelly opened up the Queen Elizabeth Blvd. location of his restaurant on Tuesday morning for indoor and patio dining, despite a lockdown order that went into effect in the city one day prior.
Ontario AG slams Dr. Williams’ leadership during COVID-19 pandemic
Ontario’s chief medical officer of health and his associates “did not lead” the province’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic in its early days and repeatedly ordered measures only when it was too late, the province’s auditor general wrote in a scathing 230-page report.
Bonnie Lysyk said Dr. David Williams and his team did not “fully exercise his powers” under provincial to marshal resources and enact measures to protect the public during the early months of the pandemic, nor did he embrace the “precautionary principle,” where any precaution thought necessary should be enacted as fast as possible, even when the science of the matter is not certain.
Canada will not be first in line for COVID-19 vaccines, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said during his morning briefing in front of Rideau Cottage on Tuesday (Nov. 24).
“We recognize the disadvantage Canada has of not having a domestic pharmaceutical industry capable of making the vaccines,” Trudeau said.
It already seems clear that the first major political and cultural eruption of the Biden years will be a roiling populist backlash against the next round of COVID-19 lockdowns and other restrictions on ordinary life.
Trump’s fault!
I’m no anti-vaxxer. I’ve had every Vaccine, and so have my children.
But like many around the world, I’m a little sceptical about the fastest produced Vaccine in history. It hasn’t been tried and tested so no one could possibly know if and what the longterm effects are. And with everything we now know about this virus, I can understand why so many people will reject this injection and want to stop their kids from having it.
Additional measures announced by Democrat leaders ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, including a seeming return to Prohibition, are limiting even more of the freedoms of Pennsylvania residents. Gov. Tom Wolf urged people to stay at home and not gather with those outside of their household, and Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine announced a one-night ban on the sale of alcohol in the state.
“Since the very beginning we knew there would be challenges because unlike the Germans, Americans and the British we don’t have a mass production capacity for vaccines so we had to come up with broader sources than those sources and that’s precisely what we did and we were even criticized internationally because we got too much access to vaccines,” Trudeau said.
Toronto police say they don’t have the manpower to shut down a busy Etobicoke BBQ joint that defied provincial COVID-19 lockdown orders on Tuesday by opening for indoor dining.
Police and city bylaw officers arrived at Adamson Barbecue on Tuesday morning after it announced earlier on social media that it would defy the province’s orders forbidding indoor restaurant service.
CityNews reported that Adamson Barbecue had first taken to social media on Monday to proclaim that it wouldn’t be obeying the latest lockdown order. The Ontario government had announced in recent days that indoor dining, and various other activities, would be curbed from this week on, to stop the spread of the virus.
Had King James’s Privy Council contained a proto-Anthony Fauci in 1620, there might not have been a Thanksgiving holiday for the current-day Fauci and his peers to cancel four centuries later. The transatlantic voyage that brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth Rock would have been unthinkable under the ‘stay safe’ philosophy that now governs American life.
At this point in 2020 I don’t think that many of us would be dumb enough to ask for maybe just one thing to go smoothly. We’ve got conservatives being arrested for breathing now, after all. Strap in kids, it’s gonna be a bumpy landing.
Error in reporting COVID-19 data resulted in overestimation of case count on Monday, province says
Ontario is reporting 1,009 new cases of COVID-19 but the province says an error in reporting yesterday’s data has resulted in an underestimation of today’s case count and overestimation of Monday’s total.
On Monday, Ontario reported 1,589 new cases of the virus , a new single-day record, but the province now says that number was not accurate.
“Due to technical issues, instead of including cases up until 12:00 p.m. on November 22, yesterday’s report contained cases reported in CCM up until 8:30 p.m. on November 22, resulting in an overestimate of the daily counts yesterday, and an underestimate of the daily counts today,” a spokesperson for Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott said in an email on Tuesday.
Tam seeks to crush Christmas like they do in Communist China
As COVID-19 cases soar and regions lock down, Dr. Tam has a blunt message about holiday planning
Tam is blunt when it comes to the upcoming holiday season: No large gatherings. Keep it small. Keep it within your own household.
“Christmas is not going to be having any kind of large group interactions,” she said. “Even with family, you’ve got to really think twice. Avoid non-essential travel. Keep to your current household contacts as much as possible.”

Adamson Barbecue is turning up the heat on the latest COVID-19 lockdown.
And pouring on some extra hot sauce, too.
