Ontario Premier Doug Ford is in trouble. Ford surprised a lot of people by announcing a sweeping shutdown on Monday. He’s in trouble because a lot of people don’t think a sweeping shutdown is necessary.
He’s also in trouble because other people think the shutdown is entirely necessary, but isn’t happening fast enough. Reports originally said it would start just after midnight on Thursday, but the government shifted the date until Saturday, with Ford arguing businesses needed more time to prepare.
The borders are fine, there is nothing to worry about but we have still banned flights from the United Kingdom.

Germany finishes a two-year term on the 15-member council at the end of this month and Ambassador Christoph Heusgen plans to retire after more than 40 years as a diplomat.
“Let me end my tenure on the Security Council by appealing to my Chinese colleagues to ask Beijing for the release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. Christmas is the right moment for such a gesture,” Mr. Heusgen told the council session, whose official agenda topic was Iran.
CALGARY — The NDP criticized on Tuesday freshly-unveiled clean fuel standards, after a government impact analysis said higher fuel costs will hit lower- and middle-income households hardest.
The Clean Fuel Standard, a key part of Ottawa’s climate plan, was released in draft form last week and aims to reduce the carbon content of liquid fuels, such as those used in transportation and to heat homes. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals say it will cut annual emissions by more than 20 megatons by 2030.

Ethicists debate whether anti-mask protestors should forfeit COVID-19 medical care
This past weekend, hundreds of Albertans rallied against masking orders, demonstrators gathered outside a house in Montreal’s posh Westmount neighbourhood they thought, mistakenly, belonged to Quebec’s premier, while in Ontario, police and bylaw officers saw to an illegal, 60-person party at a Mississauga Airbnb. Some guests fled as police arrived, 27 others were slapped with $880 fines, and the hosts issued summons carrying minimum $10,000 fines.
Protester who offered cops coffee CHARGED for not social distancing
Today, I’m bringing you another story from Hamilton, Ontario where a protester named Fraser McBurney was charged for his involvement in a recent demonstration downtown. Fraser’s terrible actions on that day seem to be offering protesters — and the officers watching the event — coffee and snacks while not remaining six feet apart. Now, police have handed him a $750 ticket under the Reopening Ontario Act.

In Detroit, the reckoning over policing that swept the nation after the cop killing of George Floyd in May has been a struggle between two deeply entrenched sides.

Julian Assange’s Fiancée Sits Down With Revolver to Reveal Deep State’s Plot to Erase Our First Amendment
For years, America’s oligarch class has grown fat by betraying the country they rule over. They’ve outsourced the country’s wealth and well-being to China. They’ve embroiled the country in one disastrous war after another — wars that did nothing to make America safer but did a great deal to enrich the defense contractors who supplied them. They’ve colluded with Big Tech and Big Finance to gradually chip away at the basic rights that Americans once took for granted.
Why does the left stick with shutdowns when it’s clear that they destroy small business? Simple. That’s the signature of communists consolidating their power.
At this most magical time of year, I hope you’re sitting uncomfortably – perhaps listening to the problematic lyrics of your favourite banned carol, settling in for socially distanced merriment and bemoaning the impact of climate change on the chances of a white Christmas. Most people will agree that 2020 has been a stinker of a year, but for those of us on the front lines of the ‘TERF wars’ there have been some huge gains against the joyless gender fascists. It seems the green shoots of reason are finally visible.
“We know people may have made mistakes over the Thanksgiving time period,” Dr. Birx scolded the nation on CBS’ Face the Nation. “If you’re young and you gathered, you need to be tested about five to 10 days later. But you need to assume that you’re infected.”
