I was a cook. I was a dishwasher. If nobody came to my restaurant when I was in college, I wouldn’t have been able to survive. When you talk about closing down our city, you're talking about putting low-wage workers out of a job. I’m not letting that happen.

We are seeing a slow and manageable growth of our COVID positive inpatients and ICU patients at Humber. If the Omnicron wave peaks in the next 1 to 2 weeks, we will be just fine. #COVID19 #Omnicron #GetVaccinated #GetBoosted @HRHospital

School is essential. To avoid a revolving door of disruptions post-Jan 17, Ontario Government needs to use the time it has now to make school as safe as possible. -priority 3rd shots -promote age 5-11 shot 1/2 -surveillance & test to stay RATs -better masks for kids -ventilation standards

What a year this past week has been!

PJ Mercanti Laura Babcock 🇨🇦 Im not following. What is your proposition?

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.

#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?

A great career by a great Hamiltonian. Congrats, Ted! Will always enjoy our 2012 concert experience with Chicago, the band in support of Good Shepherd. Thanks for your vision and tenacity.

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. #COVID19

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

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.

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.

toronto.citynews.ca/2018/02/22/hos… 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.

#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 William Osler Health System remains stable. This declining trend for both hospitalization and severe cases is encouraging. #COVID19Ontario #onpoli

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

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. bit.ly/3Iy6Ru6 #performingarts #Canada #entertainment Statistics Canada

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.

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.
