Now Hollywood realizes the Golden Globes are meaningless?
Such perfect timing, now that viewership has tanked and there is seemingly no awards show — not the Oscars or the Grammys or the CMAs or the SAGs or anything, really — that a pandemic-battered America wants to see.
A recent ruling by an Ontario judge confirmed what some employment lawyers have been saying for more than a year — that many businesses may have actually constructively dismissed their employees when enacting temporary layoffs, putting themselves on the hook for severance pay.
Last March, when employers were doing temporary layoffs during a time of uncertainty, Toronto employment lawyer Stuart Rudner told the Star that many of those layoffs might actually be constructive dismissals, meaning the employer had essentially terminated the employee and would owe them severance.
Lockdowns just keep getting better and better!
Ontario’s top doctor says the province will stop giving out first doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
Dr. David Williams says the decision has been made out of an abundance of caution because of increased instances of a rare blood clotting disorder linked to the shot.
When activists take over any country’s government, the country said government oversees will see a general downturn, not only in the freedom that government “allows” its populace to have, but in the “tolerance” displayed by the “useful idiots” towards anyone or thing that doesn’t fit its “worldview.”
“[Sheryl Sandberg] has donated $2 million publicly so far to Planned Parenthood, the biggest abortion chain,” she stated. “Big Tech is notoriously ruled by far-left ideologues, so it’s a huge problem when we talk about the fair and open sharing of information, that these groups are basically colluding with the abortion industry to shut down pro-life voices.”
OTTAWA—In a bid to keep a crucial oil pipeline flowing into Ontario, the federal government has stepped into the legal battle over Enbridge’s Line 5, arguing the threatened shutdown raises “grave concerns” about Canada’s relationship with the United States.
Natural Resources Minister Seamus O’Regan announced the move on Tuesday, one day before Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s May 12 deadline to shut down the portion of the pipeline that runs under the Straits of Mackinac between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
“Line 5 is essential to our energy security,” O’Regan said in a statement Tuesday.
Seamus O’Regan? Not reassured.
The New York Times recently argued that abandoning the bathtub and ditching social hygiene can save the planet. Unfortunately, that’s no joke.
The deranged Times story was headlined “See Fewer People. Take Fewer Showers.” Times “breaking news” reporter Maria Cramer propagandized how a preschool administrative assistant named Robin Harper allegedly has only “shower[ed] once a week” since the pandemic.
Two federally-designated quarantine hotels in the GTA, where international travellers are required to stay after arriving at Pearson International Airport, have been hit by COVID-19 outbreaks.
Hampton Inn and Suites on Caroga Drive in Mississauga is listed on Peel Region’s website as partially closed as of May 8. It is not yet known how many staff and guests have been affected.
So you obeyed and quarantined at Hotel Pandemic. What if you caught Covid there? Can you sue?
Defiant Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad officials on Tuesday threatened to step up their attacks on Israel after some of their senior military commanders were killed in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip.
The two terror groups said in separate statements that they will continue their rocket attacks until Israel “halts its aggression” on the Palestinians in Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. They also accused Israel of targeting innocent civilians, including children.

When former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein fired 39 Scud missiles at Israel in 1991, many Palestinians took to the streets to celebrate the attacks. Many demonstrations took place in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem even while Palestinians were being issued gas masks by the Israeli authorities to protect them against a possible chemical attack by Iraq against Israel.
The Los Angeles Times reported back then that “several Palestinians expressed joy at last week’s [Iraqi] missile assault on Tel Aviv and Haifa.”
When the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist group launched rocket attacks on Israel from Lebanon in 2015, Palestinians took to the streets to celebrate, holding Hezbollah flags and handing out sweets to drivers and passersby.
Gas stations along the Southeast coast are being slammed by panic buying and long lines amid the shutdown of the biggest oil pipeline in the US from a crippling cyberattack believed to be orchestrated by a Russia-based criminal group.
The closure of the 5,500-mile Colonial Pipeline, which carries more than 100 million gallons of fuel from Texas to New Jersey each day, has stretched into its fifth day. The Alpharetta, Georgia-based company suspended all operations after it was hit Friday by a ransomware attack that could prove to be among the most costly in US history.
Russian cybercrime or State actors?
‘Absolute garbage LIARS’! NYT BLASTED for ‘gaslighting’ like nobody’s business in desperate piece whitewashing obvious gas shortage
In recent weeks, a seeming contradiction has emerged: States in the U.S. that have had little to no COVID-19 restrictions have gotten case counts under control, while in Canada there are provinces still struggling with a third wave despite having never fully reopened.
It has the potential to become fuel for anti-lockdown protesters: If those states have opened up and brought case counts down, why can’t we? Do lockdowns not work?
Lockdowns slow an outbreak but vaccination seems key.
Professor Explains Flaw in Many Models Used for COVID-19 Lockdown Policies
Economics professor Doug Allen wanted to know why so many early models used to create COVID-19 lockdown policies turned out to be highly incorrect. What he found was that a great majority were based on false assumptions and “tended to over-estimate the benefits and under-estimate the costs.” He found it troubling that policies such as total lockdowns were based on those models.
The fact that 80% of Canadian workers who are in the private sector can no longer afford to pay the salaries, benefits, and pensions of the 20% in the public sector was a crisis before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Coming out of the pandemic, it’s going to be a disaster.
Ontario teacher candidates say they’ve been left behind by new mandatory math test
Passing the Mathematics Proficiency Test (MPT) is now required to become a certified Ontario teacher, but some teacher candidates say trying to get an appointment — and make sure they’re ready for the exam — is causing them a lot of stress.
“If I don’t pass and I don’t get another opportunity, I lose my licence,” said Kayleigh Lajeunesse, who finished teachers college last year.
“I always wanted to be a teacher, and I feel like this test doesn’t reflect who I am as a teacher.”
“She feels”
… Last week, Galyaviev is reported to have set up a channel on the Telegram service, with messages purporting to be from “God.” In a series of comments written last Thursday, the account announced that “I am like a God.”
The account went on to say that the population of the world were his “slaves,” and should kill each other before ultimately killing themselves. He added that there should be no living creatures left in the world, and that life was a “mistake of the universe.”
