"This is about our rights and how the government's been manipulating the population and oppressing us all the time."
"If it worked, think all these people that were vaccinated would get COVID so fast?"
"Trudeau is a criminal in this country." Convoy!
According to a memo and multiple sources, this week Ontario intends to expand its booster campaign almost any way it can, and faster 18+ eligibility will follow. It’s a huge lift, and welcome. And in the age of Omicron, that may not be enough. thestar.com/opinion/star-c…
This is a central issue: the province is treating vaccination like an all-out emergency, but there are no accompanying restrictions. Which tells me the provincial government remains exceedingly reluctant to impose any province-wide restrictions, again
“This is the scariest it has been since the pandemic started.” I didn’t want to write this, and you probably don’t want to read it. But Omicron is here, and it is almost certainly a force unlike anything we have seen. This will be very hard. thestar.com/opinion/star-c…
I fear this is going to develop faster than we can react to it: holiday parties, holiday travel, an exhausted populace that doesn't want to hear it, and isn't really being told anyway. Omicron will spread so fast, and unless it's strangely easy on the unvaccinated, it will hurt
Vaccination still protects against sever outcomes: that is the good news. But again, unless it is oddly weak against naive populations, this will spread so fast and find people who aren’t protected
Omicron's coming, Delta's doing well, the science table shows that even optimistic scenarios could cancel surgeries, and the province isn't ... doing anything? Not true. But it's not doing much. thestar.com/opinion/star-c…

Yeah, it’s time for a significant escalation in urgency on boosters, now.
Pride was already cancelled: now Caribana, Taste of the Danforth, and more. The CNE is the one we might have saved, and maybe should have. It’s close to the point where everyone could get double vaccinated
This gets funnier and funnier and funnier and then you get to the note, and I’m going to need this to be made into a movie of some kind. Eugene Melnyk never stops. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
I am still enjoying this almost as much as I would enjoy a Caribbean yacht trip in calm waters with a pleasant, non-malodorous captain
I bet Eugene brought his own captain’s hat on the trip
