"Melodious and melancholic."

#DearEvanHansenMovie is unapologetically sentimental and a roller-coaster of emotions, writes @BWheelerglobe.

The feature film adaptation by director Stephen Chbosky opened this year’s #TIFF21.

The gala world premiere was held at Roy Thomson Hall, and the venue was half-full, in accordance with Ontario’s Stage 3 regulations.

The #DearEvanHansenMovie premiere signals a return of the hybrid film festival, with just a little added fanfare.

tgam.ca/dear-evan-hans…
This year, #TIFF21 features more glitz, more international talent appearances, more international press and more indoor screenings at more venues, with a boost in crowd-size capacities in the theatres.

tgam.ca/dear-evan-hans…
The red carpet for #DearEvanHansenMovie, however, was hidden by blinders and protected with fencing, so as to discourage gawkers from congregating.

The public couldn’t selfie with actors Ben Platt, Julianne Moore and other cast members.

“It reminded me of the festival’s early years, where the vibe was low key and casual,” attendee John Karastamatis said.

“I was 15 when the festival began and I skipped school to attend. The focus back then was on the films and nothing else.”

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is ditching vaccine passports, mandatory face mask rules and work-from-home regulations – and will instead rely mainly on vaccinations to get the country through the winter months.

tgam.ca/2XijF6c
On Tuesday, Mr. Johnson outlined the government’s pandemic strategy for England.

Governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which run their own health care systems, are expected to largely follow suit.

tgam.ca/2XijF6c Image
The strategy centred largely on expanding vaccinations to younger teenagers and launching a booster shot program for front-line health care staff and people over the age of 50.

Metro Vancouver is the eviction capital of Canada, according to a new report.

tgam.ca/vancouver-evic…
A @UBC study shows that 10.5% of renter households in Metro Vancouver experienced an eviction as the reason for their last move.

That compares to 5.8% in Toronto and 4.2% in Montreal.

tgam.ca/vancouver-evic…
The province of British Columbia as a whole has an equally bleak rate of eviction, at 10.6%, again, by a wide margin.

The next highest rate of eviction was on Prince Edward Island, at 6.8%.

Alberta’s intensive-care units are nursing a record number of patients ill with the coronavirus, and physicians are warning the province’s health system could fail within four weeks.

tgam.ca/2XhvGZB
There were 209 patients with COVID-19 in Alberta’s ICUs as of Monday afternoon, according to Alberta Health Services’ internal data, obtained by The Globe and Mail.

tgam.ca/2XhvGZB
The province is cancelling surgeries and procedures to free up the equipment, space and health professionals needed to care for this surge of patients, most of whom are not immunized against the virus.

With the Delta variant dominant across Canada and cold weather approaching, scientists & health authorities have turned their attention to the question of who may need a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine – and when.

Here's a closer look at the science:

tgam.ca/covid-19-boost…
Who in Canada is eligible for a third dose?

NACI recommends immunocompromised people 12 and older – who have not yet been immunized – should receive 3 doses of a mRNA vaccine. Those in this group who have been vaccinated should be offered an third dose.

tgam.ca/covid-19-boost…
Alberta, Ontario and Quebec have already been offering additional doses – not only to the immunocompromised but also to people travelling to countries that do not currently recognize their primary vaccine series.

Two of Netflix’s most-prized 2021 festival movies have leaked online after debuting as part of the at-home digital offerings of the Toronto International Film Festival.

#TIFF21

tgam.ca/tiff-netflix-l…
Jane Campion’s drama “The Power of the Dog,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch, and the Antoine Fuqua thriller “The Guilty,” led by Jake Gyllenhaal, both appeared on pirate websites as of early Monday.

tgam.ca/tiff-netflix-l…
It was not immediately clear if TIFF showings were the source of the pirated copies or if they came from elsewhere.

However, both movies premiered as part of TIFF’s hybrid festival model with screenings in theatres as well as virtually in homes.
