John Ivison: Minimizing border problem allows Liberals to argue tough COVID restrictions are not necessary

Article content Nobody should underestimate the difficulty of governing a country like Canada. Contrary to popular belief, our political leaders are not idiots at least many of them are not.

A group of Snowbirds lost a case in Federal Court this week that argued being forced to stay in a quarantine hotel would cause “devastating, emotional, relational and spiritual harm,” a sentiment that will find favour with anyone who has endured an airport hotel breakfast.

India underestimated the virus Why that s a cautionary tale for Canada

Article content This isn’t India, where a catastrophic COVID-19 wave has brought the country to its knees, where doctors tweet SOS messages pleading for oxygen, and where shrewd variants now spreading in Canada have made India’s first wave look “like a ripple in a bathtub.” An aerial picture on April 26, 2021, shows the funeral pyres of COVID-19 victims at a cremation ground in New Delhi.
