And last week it was the turn of Perth, Listowel, Seaforth and Bowmanville, where Lakeridge Health temporarily closed its intensive care unit and relocated patients to the Ajax-Pickering and Oshawa campuses.

TORONTO – Arrogance and manipulation. Posturing and theatrics. If anyone has been following international politics, he/she would know that these are staples on the political menu. None of them are especially harmful in digestible doses but, sooner rather than later, its practitioners are punished by the public.
TORONTO – The housing market in the Greater Toronto Area has no peace: in the month of July just ended, sales fell by 47% compared to the same period last year and by 24% compared to last June. →
