As of Jan. 31 at 12:01 a.m., Ontario will increase its social gathering limits to 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors, while allowing restaurants and bars and other similar businesses without dancefloors to open at 50 per cent capacity

Retailers, including groceries and pharmacies, along with malls, sports facilities and gyms, cinemas, meeting and event spaces, amusement parks and museums, casinos and religious services will also be allowed to reopen, with 50 per cent capacity limits.

By March 14, Ontario says it expects to lift most remaining indoor capacity limits, with its proof-of-vaccination system still in place. Indoor social gathering limits would rise to 50 people indoors, with no limits for outdoor gatherings. The reopening will take place almost a month after Mr. Ford closed restaurants and cancelled non-emergency surgeries as a wave of the highly transmissible Omicron variant of COVID-19 threatened to swamp hospitals and overwhelm the health system. After a two-week delay, students in Ontario went back to school this week, although some boards, including in Toronto, were forced to further put off the return for a couple more days due to a massive snowstorm.

Rudy Giuliani, other Trump allies subpoenaed by U.S. House panel investigating Jan. 6 | CBC NewsThe U.S. House of Representatives committee investigating the Capitol insurrection issued a new batch of subpoenas Tuesday to some of Donald Trump's closet advisers, including Rudy Giuliani, as the committee inches closer to the former president. How do they believe they will get around client attorney privilege?! And I used to admire Giuliani. But, tainted by the corrupt trump, Giuliani has become a historic and historical disappointment. The Salem witch hunt continues.. If you want to hold the real culprits responsible...Subpoena the FBI.
