596 – Canada’s Leadership is Intolerable

Nice… now the Americans call it “Stickergate”. He just likes dressing up, and so does his laptop ok! 🙄

An Ontario court has ruled that the Iranian military's downing of a passenger jet early last year was an intentional act of terrorism, paving the way for relatives of those killed to seek compensation from the country.​ https://t.co/CnPokRyT09

Please note info around the consent for vaccination has been updated. Youth aged 12+ can consent to immunization on their own behalf provided they understand the benefits and risks of vaccination.

As with any other medical appointment, we encourage family discussion. https://t.co/jFC55GlNRf

What went largely unnoticed yesterday in the media was that the ON re-opening plan quietly extends the province wide lockdown for another 12 days. We really need to get on the phones with our MPPs, let them know that they are all toast next election if they do not change course.

1/ The Canadians have lost their minds. Ontario has 14.7 million people. 1 in 11000 is hospitalized for #Covid. Cases are plunging, vaccinations soaring.

Yet Ontario has a lockdown as strict as any US state had LAST APRIL. No “nonessential” retail, playgrounds closed, etc… pic.twitter.com/IYplMdoTot

Doug Ford's slow, timid reopening plan will keep Ontario largely shut down for much of the summer, even as increasing vaccinations make the province safer every day. Doesn't make sense on any level. My @nationalpost column. https://t.co/BnixmYgBZX #onpoli

Every life is precious, but fair risk valuation is good for health & policy.

-89% of 2020 Covid deaths had 1+ comorbidity
-65% had 2+
-46% had 3+
-95% were age 65+

– now, 86% age 70+
– ~70% in LTC+RT

Let's be less afraid & look at good decisions.#onpoli https://t.co/15oSUSgQZV

@fordnation please reconsider your decision to not allow splash-pads to open at the same time as other outdoor activities like golf and basketball. It’s going to be over 30 degrees this long weekend. Please RT and email your MPP. #splishsplash

.@fordnation if you don’t fully reopen #Ontario on June 2nd, you will unquestionably go down in history as the worst premier in Ontario’s history.

Put an end to your disgraceful crisis-management and #ReopenOntario

A 30-day extension of the US-Canada border shutdown with no further exceptions for those vaccinated, no goals to expand crossings, no family reunification & no plan is unacceptable. We need progress on reopening the border. It is essential to families & our bi-national economies. pic.twitter.com/cKqGHFKDUY

THIS NOT SCIENCE. This is not the mandate of @COVIDSciOntario.

This is punditry pure and simple.#Ontario “Science Table” has been an unmitigated failure. It’s populated with some professional scientists, and dozens of amateur policy analysts/wannabe politicians.

Official: the UK NHS's COVID vaccine app is collecting data on individuals' "family" "social circumstances" "genetic/biometric details…to uniquely identify an individual" and even "alleged criminal behaviour."

In other words, a social credit score. #CCPhttps://t.co/sAPiZR1xaG pic.twitter.com/LhX4ahGgnF
