For almost three months Canadians had quarantined their humanity out of fear of the novel coronavirus.  When funerals were cancelled hardly a peep was heard, little concern expressed for those grieving the loss of loved ones.  “We have to stop the spread”, was the reply, so we have to make

Canada’s response to the novel coronavirus, like much of the world, was based not so much on science as on computer generated model predictions.  Predictions of 200,000 people dying with no action taken, and even still 100K with mitigation efforts meant our health care system was forecast to be overrun

I’m not in favour of forced lockdown measures, anyone who has been following this blog for any length of time knows that.  I just read an incredible Guardian article that beautifully calls out the blatant hypocrisy of many so called progressives for distorting science here:   https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jun/08/we-often-accuse-the-right-of-distorting-science-but-the-left-changed-the-coronavirus-narrative-overnight When the George Floyd

How many times have you seen posts on social media talking about “Covidiots” and saying things like: “Get ready for the second wave“!!!  I know I’ve seen lots.  Every time there was a lockdown protest at Queen’s Park, or when people gathered at Trinity Bellwood park, and again now with

Another credible source telling the world that the “deadly” coronavirus is nowhere near as deadly as first thought when a 5% figure was used as justification for locking down large segments of society. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/05/28/863944333/antibody-tests-point-to-lower-death-rate-for-the-coronavirus-than-first-thought?utm_campaign=storyshare&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR2Mshkd7T65rGP7uh6TpQIvb51QRGUVdz_mg8VC4tzor_Ys3CuzsHBUdJA To summarize, a large (4,600 people) randomized testing for both the virus as well as antibodies

In 1968 my family lived in New York City, Staten Island to be precise.  I don’t remember it, I was in diapers back then.  But my late, great amazing Mother often told the story about how, on the night after Martin Luther King had been assinated, mayor John Lindsay walked

Before I share my thoughts here is the link to the news story dated May 26th and updated May 28th: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/data-cdc-estimates-covid-19-mortality-rate/275-fc43f37f-6764-45e3-b615-123459f0082b?fbclid=IwAR1ymyj3B9PcW4YrdfmBsye3BV3ousaNrjh5WFNr1Wjkk63r7F3xH0znKic Everyone is a conspiracy buff these days.   Right from the start of this pandemic, anyone who didn’t believe the doom and gloom forecasts of 2+ million dead in the

I don’t write about my faith often, I try to balance never denying it with not beating people over the head with it.  At times I’m a pretty lousy Christian, and in point of fact I only started taking my faith seriously about 13 years ago, around the time I

Lots of people are expressing anger, frustration and disbelief about reports of thousands of people gathering in Toronto’s Trinity Bellwood park recently.  Part of this anger is based on the misguided and completely false notion that if not for this kind of behaviour the pandemic would be over and people
