Ontario imposing stay-at-home order, closing non-essential retail: sources

Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s cabinet has approved a provincewide stay-at-home order and will close non-essential retail stores for all but curbside pickup, multiple sources told CBC News Tuesday night.

The move comes in the wake of criticism that restrictions announced last week — what the government called “emergency brake” measures — are insufficient to slow the spread of Ontario’s third wave of COVID-19.

Sources familiar with cabinet’s decision said the stay-at-home order would take effect at 12:01 a.m. ET Thursday and last up to four weeks.

‘It’s Tragic’: Glenn Greenwald Laments Destruction Of Media Credibility, Pinpoints ‘Trump Years’ As Breaking Point

Journalist Glenn Greenwald on Tuesday lamented how historically trustworthy major corporate news outlets have destroyed their own credibility, especially during the years of the Trump administration.

“I’ve been a critic of corporate media outlets for 15 years but always assumed one could get basic facts (even if flawed) by reading them. I now no longer think this,” Greenwald tweeted. “Their journalistic and business model makes me distrust everything I read there.”

Diane Francis: Canada is ignoring the science on second doses

A recent editorial published in the British Medical Journal makes a good case for why the Canadian government’s risky dose-delay strategy to compensate for its failure to procure COVID-19 vaccines is a bad idea. It adds to a wealth of emerging scientific data, which clearly demonstrates that elderly people who have gotten their first dose of vaccine should get their second within the recommended 21 or 28 days, not 16 weeks.

Hunter Biden’s Beautiful Things is an ugly piece of fiction

Only in America — and banana republics and one-party dictatorships — can naked nepotism be converted into virtue

Biden is dishonest. His memory is shot. He’s an influence-peddler pretending to be a victim, a lifelong exploiter of his public position who hides behind the lowest forms of sentimentality.

Hunter Biden, of course. You’d have to be on the wrong end of a three-day crack binge to confuse Hunter Biden with the impeccably honest, mentally agile and profoundly principled multimillionaire career politician Joe Biden.

The Left’s War on Free Speech

The Left wants to ban “hate speech” using the powerful national institutions they now govern. They do not hide this intention but say so openly. Powerful tools—like Big Tech, a nearly unified press, and the national security state—give speech restrictionists the impression that this goal can and should be pursued. But exactly what kind of speech do they want to ban, and exactly how would this ban transform America?
