Quebec is bringing in the toughest COVID-19 restrictions in the country – including a curfew that will start in time for New Year’s Eve, an end to indoor dining and a ban on gatherings in personal homes – as cases of the Omicron variant of the virus keep surging.
Ontario, Quebec and Alberta are delaying by a few days students’ return to schools next month. And Ontario is limiting the use of polymerase chain reaction (or PCR) COVID-19 tests, even though that will artificially reduce the official tally of daily cases. The provincial government is framing this as a way to protect scarce testing resources.
The (Quebec) Premier announced the curfew at the same briefing. He said it will be in place as of Friday evening and will run from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each day, with fines ranging as high as $6,000 for violators. There will be exceptions for people whose jobs require them to be out, he said.
And now we're letting a virus destroy our nation.

Banning gatherings in people's homes is going way too far! That is horrible...such an invasion of freedom.

Canadian soldiers like my grandfather fought the Nazis tooth and nail. They went through hell in so many ways--sleep deprived, starving, thirsty, wounded, shell-shocked, mourning their fallen friends, pieces of their humanity broken or lost in a vat of darkness they fear might consume them. Facing death, capture and torture, they pressed on. And on. And on. Ear-piercing explosions. Heart wrenching groans by their brothers in war as they suffer long, agonizing deaths beside them while they fight on. And on into the night. These men entered as brave spirits to fight great evil, and they were shaped into warriors of prolific endurance beyond the imagination of common people. They fought for freedom. For country. For a better world.
And now we're letting a virus destroy our nation. A virus, people. Even at its worst it wasn't the Black Plague.
the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after.

Leadership issues. Everywhere. Every single "leader" in this country from federal to provincial to city etc...are all severely incompetent and not fit to run a 7-11. Why do we allow this? These people are so easily influenced and bought.
It starts there, we need real leaders to come forward...if there are any that would even want the job. This is not just a problem in Canada...clearly.
