According to provincial data, 207 of the 626 long-term care homes in Ontario are currently experiencing outbreaks of the virus, including 19 new ones reported Sunday.
The CEO of the Ontario Long-Term Care Association, which represents nearly 70 per cent of homes in the province, says the rising number of outbreaks is pushing the system to its limits.
With an abysmal track record for leadership and the most hilariously hypocritical book ever, Governor Cuomo is not the omnipotent all-powerful being he seems to think he is. But he continues to govern New York as such. Now, New York Democratic Assemblyman N. Nick Perry is sponsoring Bill A416, which proposes giving the Governor the power to detain and remove “cases, contacts and carriers of communicable diseases who are potentially dangerous to the public health.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was asked about her vote afterward on Capitol Hill, to which she told reporters that she did not want to risk giving Republicans the speakership due to the slim majority. There were only five Democrats who did not vote for Pelosi, none of which are in “The Squad.”
Back in the spring — we have this on camera — the Fabulous Fauci told the truth. Don’t wear masks, he said. They’re useless.
He was right about that, and should have said what he said. But he said it before the Cult of the Mask became politically and culturally powerful, before the experts knew it was the perfect visual symbol of compliance. It was only after that that Fauci “moved on” from his earlier remarks and insisted people should wear masks. That shift put him back in with the mainstream again, and allowed him to remain its “science” spokesman.
He now says “Wear a mask”, but he like many elites don’t bother wearing one when they thinks the cameras are off, as we all know, because they know the true value of masks, which is none. Take yours off and stop spreading fear.
A minister who vacationed in Hawaii against the advice of her own government to stay at home to slow the spread of COVID-19 is returning to a number of voters upset over the hypocrisy.

CNN’s Jake Tapper retweeted a story by the Washington Post of an apparently illegally obtained conversation between President Donald J. Trump, Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, and Raffensperger’s lawyer.
In the taped conversation were apparently negotiations for a final opportunity for Trump’s legal team to audit election results in Georgia, since, due to a set of bizarre misdirections by Brad Raffensperger in November, where Republican observers were forcibly shut out of the ballot counting process before and after the electoral votes were tallied, there has been no transparency for the American people.
And there still won’t be according to the leaked conversation. Raffensperger refuses to allow Trump access to the data or the machines used to count the ballots.
Federally, the Conservatives regularly rail against Justin Trudeau’s entitlement, slamming the perception that he believes the rules apply to everyone else, but not to him.
And yet, we are watching and seeing that Conservative politicians are turning out to be a bunch of entitled hypocrites, who demonstrate the same behaviour they attack in others.

Infectious disease expert Dr. Sumon Chakrabarti explained to CTV News Channel on Friday that current cases numbers measure those that would have become infected prior to the holiday season.

Outspoken conservative author and commentator Candace Owens took to Twitter on Saturday to not only expose the big picture at play here, but to warn black Americans about who’s really bringing harm to them.
“Netflix now has a category for ‘black cinema’. Uber Eats now has a category for ‘black restaurants,’” Owens tweeted. “The Left has reintroduced segregation back into American society under the guise of progressivism— they used #BLM propaganda to anger black people to the point of blindness.”
Half of air cargo normally travels in the belly of passenger jets rather than dedicated freighters. But flight cancellations as traffic plummeted during the pandemic have left some companies scrambling to ship treatments that decay over time, pushing up overall transportation costs.

Liz John-West, a member of the community league, said the idea came as a City of Edmonton staff member reminded them there are several unnamed parks in the community. Upon reflection, she said the group decided to pick a park and develop it into a tribute to the women and girls from the community who have been lost.
Just like most everything else in 2020, the U.S. Presidential election was a mess. The level of incompetence and blatant disregard for the traditional electoral process is troubling, to say the least. More distressing is how so many elected officials abandoned their sworn obligation to the Constitution and allowed this farce of a process to continue despite the obvious abnormalities that manifested in key areas of the country. Yet, despite the obstacles, it still is not over – as there are many patriotic Americans ready to fight onward.

U.S. National Security Adviser Matthew Pottinger is doubling down on the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese government-run lab in Wuhan.
Pottinger, a staunch critic of Beijing, allegedly made the claim in a recent Zoom meeting with British officials.

A sustainable agriculture company has manufactured a device they say will help curb global warming by neutralizing methane exhaled by cows.
Zelp, a company based in London, says that its device can help contribute to a “strong reduction in the global warming potential of methane.”
The mask, which is strapped to the snouts of cows, “neutralises methane exhaled in real time,” the company claims.
Ever since Justin Trudeau introduced his carbon tax in 2019, the Prime Minister and his environment ministers have been dining out on their claim 80% of families will be better off financially because of carbon tax rebates.
But in Ontario, that’s simply not true.
