Small business!” after being handcuffed and led away by police for attempting to enter his own restaurant in Etobicoke, Ontario, Ezra recalled that Walmart’s CEO, “at a very high expense, hired two of [Ontario premier Doug] Ford’s [former] staff” Melissa Lantsman and David Tarrant to get a private meeting with the premier.

Criminalizing Everything

We all break lockdown in France – Swerving the Covid rules has become the new national sport
As soon as Macron appeared on TV to declare the new Covid-19 measures, I knew we were in trouble. Manu suffers from what poker players call a “tell”: an unconscious physical gesture that betrays the working of the mind. With President Macron it is the hands: he makes an Eiffel Tower of his fingers when stressed. When the tower of digits tumbled I said, “Full lockdown.”
“Dark Winter” Was A CSIS Scenario Code-Name Covering Biological Weapon Use Against America
Could it be possible that the phrase “dark winter” has some sort of deeper meaning that most of us are not meant to understand? We have heard that phrase over and over again in recent weeks, and usually it has been used in discussions regarding the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic. But it also turns out that “Dark Winter” was also a code name for a high level simulation that was conducted back in 2001. That simulation envisioned a scenario in which a widespread smallpox attack was unleashed inside the United States. As you will see below, the simulation was “designed to spiral out of control”, and the hypothetical consequences were absolutely disastrous.
BONOKOSKI: Poor Granny Smith died of COVID-19, or did she now?
While Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland glossed the dire results of her financial update — there hasn’t been a real budget in 600-plus days — COVID-19 infections were also going off the charts.

Environmentalists Now Pressing For ‘Economy-Wide Lockdowns’ To Address Climate Change

Social Distancing
The wealthy have pulled out of the orbit of the rest of the country. Can they be leashed back?
By late October, the best grasp of America’s perilous economic situation was coming from GoFundMe, the internet’s largest donation platform. The website had already become a de facto large insurance company, as hundreds of thousands of patients struggling with exorbitant medical bills started fundraising campaigns every year. By 2019, one-third of all donations on GoFundMe went toward health care costs, according to former CEO Rob Solomon.
But the pandemic created a new kind of precarity in America. From March 1 to August 31, just 3.2 percent of all donation campaigns went toward medical bills. Demand grew so much for other needs that GoFundMe announced a new fundraising category: Rent, Food, and Monthly Bills.
Made-in Canada antibody not good enough for Canada
A made-in-Canada antibody for the coronavirus is good enough for COVID-19-ravaged Italy but not good enough for … Canada.
“I regret to inform you …”
So says the letter from the federal government received Nov. 9 by Dr. Sachdev Sidhu, the esteemed University of Toronto biomedical engineer who insists that his lab has invented a synthetic antibody to mitigate — possibly eliminate entirely for the aged and particularly vulnerable — symptoms of a relentless virus that has brought the world to its knees.

Plunge in city parking revenue due to pandemic is ‘staggering,’ Toronto councillor says
As the city struggles to balance the 2021 budget in the face of a worsening pandemic, councillors are coming to grips with a steep drop in revenue from one of its key money-makers: the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA).
The agency was expected to chip in almost $60 million this year to city coffers. But steep drops in demand for parking downtown mean that amount has plummeted to just $4.1 million. And the amount it expects to contribute in 2021? Zero.
Those numbers, however, don’t shock Coun. Brad Bradford, who represents Ward 19, Beaches-East York and sits on the TPA board.
No worries! Tory will raise taxes!
CDC Quietly Admits That Less than 10,000 Really Died from COVID-19
