TORONTO – Despite the favorable Covid indicators in Ontario and the relaxation of the obligation to wear masks, we must not be taken by easy enthusiasm.
TORONTO – Marco Mendicino, Minister for Canadian Border Services and National Security is about to find himself in a very frigid place. Feel sorry for his young family.

This is in summary the result of a study conducted by the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences during the provincial closure that began in December 2020.

TORONTO – More and more, it seems that there is an undercurrent of reaction against the incursions of the wokist ideology seeping its way into the society we had come to know.
