On April 8th, The WinePress reported that Ontario, Canada was promptly forced under a new one month lockdown to try and slow down a new wave of cases – cases that the media are blaming on the new variant strains that are more contagious and deadly.
We’re losing the battle between the variants and vaccines. We’re on our heels. If we dig in, remain steadfast, we can turn this around.
Doug Ford. Premier of Ontario
To enforce this new wave of stay-at-home edicts, the Ontario police have been granted additional powers to stop residents from the potential of spreading the disease.
According to a report by The Guardian, ‘Police in Ontario will now have the power to stop drivers or pedestrians and ask for their address and reason for being out. Residents could face fines of up to $C750 (US$600) for refusing to comply. Checkpoints will be established on provincial borders with Manitoba and Quebec to stop non-essential travel – but not on the frontier with the US.’
Additionally, Ford has also enforced restrictions on playgrounds, camping and outdoor sports.
According to the report, no sick pay has been mentioned for those forced to stay home.
These new powers granted to the police, along with the added restrictions have angered some Ontarians.
Blanket powers for police to stop vehicles like this bends our constitutional freedoms too far, and will cause a rash of racial profiling.
Michael Bryant of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association
All of this comes at a time when hospitals are being filled to the brim, and health officials have asked other nurses and health workers from other provincials to send aid if possible.
[Our hospitals] are bursting at the seams, we are setting up field hospitals. Our children’s hospitals are admitting adults. This has never happened in Ontario before. It’s never happened in Canada before.Adalsteinn Brown. Co-chair of the province’s science table
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Proverbs 29:2
Look at this guy – look at this fat slob shutting everything down, again, in the name of “health,” and then the government won’t even give some kind of reparation, as Ontarians will have no way of paying their bills!
I am not even Canadian and this triggers me. The WinePress has not been reporting on their economic situation, but I can tell you that their goose is cooked. A socialist nation cannot progress and advance, so when a “problem” enters the system a new baseline lower than the original is formed, thereby dragging down the country. As America and so many other nations, Canada is in an economic freefall, and this will severely crush them even more as the coranazis’ make their rounds surveying the streets.
[9] By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. [10] But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; [11] Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? [12] There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. [13] Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.Job 35:9-13
Until the cries of repentance come before the ears of the Lord, the oppression will not end; but we know that will not be happening no matter how many people complain.

Fat Hog! I hope that vaccine kills him like it did that polish doctor. That sorcery in a syringe plus his daily consumption of two dozen doughnuts should seal his fate! I had curiousity of visiting Canada like for the Toronto International Film Featival (TIFF) but after reading this, destination declined.
