I am sickened to see protesters dance on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and desecrate the National War Memorial. Generations of Canadians have fought and died for our rights, including free speech, but not this. Those involved should hang their heads in shame.

Well that's uplifting. But it makes it even more important to get those booster shots if you're eligible.

Three and a half weeks ago, omicron wasn’t detected in Ontario. Today or tomorrow, it will overtake all others to become dominant.

“On Monday, Barton anchored CBC’s long election-night coverage with aplomb. That is, with good cheer, a command of the issues and command over a lively, sometimes grumpy panel of pundits.” Via @MisterJohnDoyle theglobeandmail.com/arts/tel…

Enough already with the demonization of CBC’s Rosemary Barton
