It is with a heavy heart to hear of the passing of long-time friend and advisor, Christopher Cutler. We are keeping Christopher’s partner, Lan, his family and friends in our thoughts and prayers during this unimaginable time.

Performing arts industry revenues declined by a record $783.8 million from 2018 to $1.8 billion in 2020, falling to their lowest level since comparable data became available in 2014: StatsCan report. https://t.co/yEpNhT2o1m

Can you imagine how amazing a college like overtime would have been between the #BillsMafia & #ChiefsKingdom The way they were playing, that would have been epic! Hello #NFL, it’s time for change.

[Patrick Brown @patrickbrownont]

Good conversation with @AndrewLawton on the Andrew Lawton Show on #covid19 hospital data, outdoor recreation and why we can safely reopen our country.

[Patrick Brown @patrickbrownont]

#Covid19 hospitalizations at #Brampton Civic are down from 101 to 95 and ICU admissions are down from 14 to 11.

Our critical ICU capacity at @OslerHealth remains stable.

This declining trend for both hospitalization and severe cases is encouraging.

https://t.co/BnHB8a2oYy Hospital capacity is the real issue here folks. How about we address that and get on with sensibly living with a virus that is not leaving. Look at the date of this article. Will we ever learn ?

In early '21 we spoke with Dr. Donald Gerson owner of PnuVax, a vaccine production-ready facility in Montreal after PnuVax was ignored by the Trudeau government. Dr. Gerson returns today as vaccine production still lags in Canada.

@Jackbewright @TedMcMeekin I appreciate the support, John Jacob. This pandemic is presenting unprecedented challenges on numerous levels, which requires innovative solutions & fresh thinking. I’ve worked with Ted on different community initiatives, he is a good man with integrity who is widely respected

[PJ Mercanti @PJMercanti]

Recently heard from 2 colleagues (from different social circles) who tested positive for COVID. Neither had been in touch with anybody or gone anywhere in public for weeks; both have no clue how they contracted it. The lockdown did not prevent them from catching COVID.

[The Roy Green Show @TheRoyGreenShow]

Let's reposition the trucker vaccine mandate a little. Not only are now thousands of truckers no longer crossing the border from U.S., but also behind each trucker's cab are trailers, each with many thousands of pounds of food/essential supplies for Cdns. Now halted. In January.

When infections disease specialists on the frontlines say that lockdowns aren’t the answer, it’s time to change up the strategy.

[Anthony Furey @anthonyfurey]

Check out my latest Postmedia podcast episode with @TorontoIDDoc, an infectious diseases physician on the frontlines who explains why we need a much more balanced covid response:

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the pandemic, lockdowns, and uncertainty, let me leave you with this.

All pandemics end.

The 'new' normal will eventually be the old normal, and likely much sooner than you think.

@EJPratt40 Compensation for nurses has to certainty be addressed. No arguments there. Also, many ER nurses have reached out to me in the past few days agreeing that the lockdowns are doing more damage than good.

#ON Parent question:

Before March 2020 school closures, my son was doing soccer, basketball, swim team, Glee Club, Dance Club, & many other activities.

He is turning 13 in a month, & after almost 2 years without these activities, I worry he won't return to them.

Am I alone?

[PJ Mercanti @PJMercanti]

A great career by a great Hamiltonian. Congrats, Ted! Will always enjoy our 2012 concert experience with @chicagotheband in support of @GoodShepherdHam. Thanks for your vision and tenacity.

[PJ Mercanti @PJMercanti]

@ibrisbin @HHHamilton @LauraBabcock @TheSpec Thanks for the note, Ian. Appreciate the interest. Be well.

[Alex Pierson @AlexpiersonAMP]

It’s worse than March 2020. Cdn’s did what was asked of them, and we are still locked down, kids out of school and small biz’s in ruin. And it will happen again and again because hospitals will still be brittle and broken.

[Maureen Wilson (She / Her) @ward1wilson]

@PJMercanti @LauraBabcock Im not following. What is your proposition?
