It was like déjà vu all over again at Queen’s Park in Toronto last Saturday. In the shadow of the cenotaph — a monument that commemorates those Canadians who gave their lives in numerous wars to preserve our rights and freedoms — members of the Toronto Police Service were ticketing and arresting anti-lockdown protesters who had the temerity to… display a sign… or wave a flag… or merely stand in a park doing absolutely nothing!
Pastor James Coates has been denied bail and will stay behind bars until his trial in May.
Justice Peter B. Michalyshyn, in the Edmonton Court of Queen’s Bench, made the ruling Friday morning stating the pastor’s continued detention was “justified” and “necessary.”
“Pastor Coates is bound by the rule of law. His refusal to the condition of release and multiple noncompliances with the stated intent to continue concerns public safety,” Michalyshyn said.
My city has been occupied for more than eight weeks. Major thoroughfares blocked, thousands of armed soldiers, armored vehicles, seven-foot fencing, concertina wire.
What’s it all for? An invading army across the Potomac? Rising far-right militias, ready to strike at any moment?
Millions of Canadians oppose the ongoing abuses and overreach of government power. Why are so few politicians willing to speak on their behalf?
Over the weekend, Anthony Furey reported that parents were being told by Peel Public Health that young children who are dismissed from school must be quarantined completely alone for the two week period – even if they don’t have COVID.
After Anthony’s report, Peel Public Health apologized and admitted that they made a mistake.
This is a story that shows public health officials make mistakes and Canadians have the right to push back and criticize them.

In the worst-case scenario, Ontario could see as many as 5,000 cases per day by early April, mostly made up of new variants, according to modelling by Scarsin Corporation, a Markham, Ont.-based company specializing in disease forecasting for global pharmaceutical companies such as Gilead, Bayer and Jansen.
I just got a call from a federal agent asking if I am sleeping with my partner while special conditions are applied to my lifestyle, having just entered Canada. I told them that was a little too personal, and they said an officer might be by to check. Totally normal.

Everything Should Be Better: Canada tried to copy New Zealand’s mandatory quarantine policy, but the government did it with staggering ineptitude.
I have been detained in a COVID jail.
It’s not a surprise to me — we knew that Trudeau was doing this to innocent Canadians, even though the CBC lied and said that it was a conspiracy. I entered the belly of the beast to document firsthand what it is like in these facilities.
Allegedly, people were being assaulted, denied water and all-around treated like animals. It seems like the situation is more dire out east, but where I am it is no cakewalk either.
In this clip from a recent livestream, Ezra Levant reviewed footage from a Toronto anti-lockdown rally where our cameraman Mocha (@BezirganMocha on Twitter) caught some police radio chatter advising cops to arrest anyone with a megaphone or a sign.
Travellers say they’re frustrated by long wait times to book hotel quarantines and chaotic service during their stays.
Raymond Truesdale recorded a now-viral video of a crowd of hotel guests yelling at staff in a government-sanctioned hotel in Toronto on Friday. They said they hadn’t been fed for hours and weren’t getting clear answers from the front desk.
“It was a boondoggle. Pandemonium. You could see people really frustrated and I don’t blame them” he told CTV News in a video interview.
In a recent article from the CBC written by Adam Miller, it seems that Canada’s publicly funded media is slowly starting to push the idea that Canadians must stay in some form of a lockdown or the third wave of COVID-19, and new coronavirus variants will sweep through the country.
