Tougher COVID-19 restrictions on the way, Doug Ford says

Premier Doug Ford is signalling tougher measures — possibly including a stay-a-home order for parts of the GTA — will be revealed Wednesday as the rapid spread of COVID-19 pushes Ontario to its most dangerous point of the pandemic.

Less than a week after imposing tougher restrictions across the province, and amid criticism from health experts that they weren’t strong enough, Ford acknowledged more must be done to suppress highly contagious variants of the virus, particularly in Toronto, and in Peel and York regions.

“We’re going to have further restrictions moving forward very, very quickly,” the premier told a news conference Tuesday, noting he had discussions with chief medical officer Dr. David Williams over the Easter weekend.

“We’re going to be very clear tomorrow.”

Toronto Public Health closing all schools starting Wednesday as city’s COVID-19 cases surge

Toronto Public Health (TPH) will force all public schools to close on Wednesday and have students learn remotely instead, it announced with Tuesday’s classes nearly done for the day.

The public health agency said in a news release the shutdown is needed to reverse a surge of new COVID-19 infections — Toronto reported 955 new cases earlier in the day.

“The spread of COVID-19 has never been greater in Toronto, with variants of concern increasing both the risk of transmission and the risk of serious illness or death,” the statement said.

Ogopogo culturally appropriated: hands off our water spirit, say First Nations

‘Like copyrighting Moses’: hands off our water spirit, say First Nations

People living on the shores of Okanagan Lake have long said that dark, curling waves signal the presence of Ogopogo, a monstrous serpent lurking beneath the surface.

A handful claim to have seen the long green body and horse-like head of Canada’s own Loch Ness monster. They tell stories of a creature that once nearly killed a settler when it dragged his horse into the depths. And every few years, new video footage renews excitement that Ogopogo has been found.

Indigenous residents tell a very different story: one of a sacred water spirit whose identity has been warped by outsiders.

Iran nuclear deal: US joins Vienna talks aimed at reviving accord

The United States has joined talks in Vienna aimed at reviving the Iran nuclear deal, which the Trump administration abandoned in 2018.

President Joe Biden has said he wants to return to the landmark accord.

But the six remaining state parties need to find a way for him to lift the sanctions imposed by his predecessor and for Iran to return to the agreed limits on its nuclear programme.

Iran has said it will not meet the US face to face until that happens.

Biden’s DHS may restart border wall construction to plug ‘gaps’

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told department employees he may restart border wall construction to plug what he called “gaps” in the current barrier.

In a conversation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees last week Mr. Mayorkas was asked about his plans for the wall and he said that while President Biden has canceled the border emergency and halted Pentagon money flowing to the wall, “that leaves room to make decisions” on finishing some “gaps in the wall.”

Palestinians: US Taxpayer Money Going to Terrorists

The Biden administration’s decision to resume unconditional US financial aid to the Palestinians will allow the Palestinian Authority (PA) to continue rewarding terrorists who kill Jews, and sometimes, as “collateral damage,” others.

Last week, the Biden administration reportedly confirmed to Congress that the PA has continued to use international aid money to reward terrorists and their families.

The Biden administration, however, emphasized that the PA’s actions will not impact its plan to renew funding to the Palestinians.

A self-centred giant baby’: How China is bashing Canada

There was once a time when the official stance of the People’s Republic of China towards Canada was indifference spiced with the occasional Norman Bethune reference. Those days are now firmly over: Under the rule of Xi Jinping, China has adopted an openly aggressive stance towards the Maple Leaf, a position represented most notably by the imprisonment of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor in apparent retaliation for Canada’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou.

Clear link between AstraZeneca vaccine and rare blood clots in brain, EMA official tells paper

ROME (Reuters) – There is a link between AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine and very rare blood clots in the brain but the possible causes are still unknown, a senior official for the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said in an interview published on Tuesday.

However, the EMA later said in a statement that its review of the vaccine was ongoing and it expected to announce its findings on Wednesday or Thursday. An AstraZeneca spokesman declined to comment on the matter.

“In my opinion, we can now say it, it is clear that there is an association (of the brain blood clots) with the vaccine. However, we still do not know what causes this reaction,” Marco Cavaleri, chair of the vaccine evaulation team at the EMA, told Italian daily Il Messagero.
