I’ve been scanning around the foreign networks today. Everyone from CNN to Fox News to the BBC is having a hard time understanding how this is an “Emergency”. It’s not a good look on Canada. 🇨🇦

Dr Moore just said that even if you’re fully vaccinated, you should only visit with grand parents outdoors, and masked. Even if the grand parent has had their booster.
We’re right back to square one.
Scotiabank Arena will have a sold out crowd tonight for the Leafs season opener. Almost 18,000 people. No physical distancing in the seats.
Yet the pubs across the street are still capped for capacity and must ensure physical distancing happens.
It's not right.

It’s sad that you got fired for doing the right thing.

I am driving along the 401 between Cambridge and Milton. Every overpass has people waving flags and cheering on the truckers. 🇨🇦 flags everywhere.
This is the Guelph Line overpass.

I’m am so rattled by the outcome from last nights Amber Alert. I cannot even begin to imagine how that poor Mom must be feeling right now. I’m so sad for her.
It’s a tough morning to be on the radio and have to do this story in the news.
For a “reopening announcement”, that went over like a lead balloon. It seems like nobody is happy with this one.
The 4th reopening in 2 years BTW.
#ONPoli
I just watched Dr Tam and Dr Noo completely sidestep a reporter’s question about why Health Canada isn’t calling for international passenger flights from hotspots to be temporarily suspended. Very frustrating.
So hairdressers are not on the list of places you need a vaccine passport for, because they are low risk.
If they are low risk, why did we force them to be closed for so long and why were they one of the last businesses to be allowed to reopen?

Be truthful Adam. Misleading people to distract from chronic underfunding and colossal mismanagement by the Province is why we are where we are.
Be part of the solution and not further stoking the divide.

I have never seen the press aggressively go after the PM to get an answer, like they just did to Erin. I like the style. Get answers. Good journalism. But be fair and do it to everyone.
I’m doing something different this year for NYE. No gigs, no appearances, no parties.
I offered to drive the kids and their friends wherever they wanted to go. Cheers to all of the other DD’s out there! Drive safe.
Happy new year friends!

Reminder: Amber Alerts are not issued by 911 operators. Please don't call them to complain about the alert overnight. It ties up the lines and risks lives.

@JustinTrudeau
Canadians did have a choice. You were only given a minority government less than 2-years ago. That meant you had to work with the other parties to pass legislation. You just didn’t want to.
Despite what your leaders just told you .... fresh air, exercise and vitamin D are all great ways to maintain your health and sustain your immune system.
A third Lockdown just doesn't make sense unless someone can explain (industry by industry) why it is safe or unsafe to open.
Why are restaurants unsafe? Has there been any infections from dog groomers?
Yet there are hundreds of cases in schools.
It just doesn't make sense.
Hey restaurants ..... we have no idea how many lbs a chicken weighs.
Just tell us how many how many chicken wings you are willing to give us for $10.
Thanks.
This really isn’t the time for partisanship. Whether you like it hate Justin Trudeau or Doug Ford or your local mayor .... we need to get behind our leaders.
Right now .... we are all Team Canada and we need to trust and listen to direction from our leaders and health officials.
It’s pretty insane that tens of thousands of servers, gym staff, hair stylists, retail workers, (and more) just got sentenced to 6-more weeks off work.
Thank you for all of the texts and tweets this morning everyone. It was 18-years ago today that I started on the morning show here at

Calm down with the hyperbole Jagmeet. The current system isn’t working and half the doctors and nurses we lost already went to private clinics and offices anyway. Let’s give this a shot and reevaluate those waiting lists in a year or two.
Everyone knows what will happen here right? People from Waterloo Region will simply shop and get their services in Guelph, Halton, Hamilton, Brant or London.
This doesn’t control spread in any way. It’s just another punishment for local businesses.
We haven’t learned a thing
Based on current data and the prevalence of the Delta variant locally, the Region of Waterloo will delay moving to Step 2 of the Provincial Reopening framework. Read more:
Friendly reminder: if you’re heading to the grocery store .... you should have a 2-week supply of food on hand. Not a lifetime supply.

Apparently the provincial cabinet is meeting today to discuss extending the stay-at-home order. 🤦♂️
It’s astounding to me that they still refuse to acknowledge the overwhelming amount of science that says outdoors is safe and the spread wasn’t coming from patios or hair salons.

Back in September most people didn't think schools would stay open past Thanksgiving.
They did.
Teachers, ECE's, administrators, custodians, secretaries, bus drivers and so many others deserve a ton of credit. Enjoy the holidays education workers!

As a Dad of 21 years, I can tell you that I have never taken anything more seriously in my life. My kids have goals that I very quickly took on as my own. If it’s important to them, it’s essential to me.
Enjoy the day. But, also ask yourself what else you can do for those kids
Being middle-class used to mean you made enough money to afford a modest home, a car in the driveway, food on the table, kids in sports, & you could go out occasionally. Maybe a family vacation too.
What salary do you need for that in 2023

Why are Canadian cell phone companies allowed to charge extortionate rates for à la carte data if you happen to go over one month … but they aren’t required to roll unused data over from one month to the next? If you pay for data, you should get to use all of it, no?

Anyone who wants a vaccine should be able to register for one right now.
Surely, the booking portals that we paid a fortune to develop can notify people as soon as they are eligible and offer them the first available appointment. Why aren’t we already doing this? 💉
We’re spending $600 million on an election that nobody except the PM himself wants, in the middle of the 4th wave of a pandemic.
Dr Tam claims it’s safe even though she has consistently said to slow down on easing restrictions.
It doesn’t make sense.

Anybody know what time the vaccine patio opens for 40-year olds in Ontario?
@ColinDMello
Why would the personal (and perfectly legal) choice of any member of the house be subject to scrutiny like this? Especially when everyone is encouraging compassion and tolerance on this very topic.
Canada always sends help when other countries need it. How many times have we deployed DART around the world? Or sent firefights & water bombers for forest fires? Or medical teams after natural disasters.
We need vaccines, doctors & nurses now. Many countries owe us one.
