Tyranny of the week
Visiting Patients - Scarborough Health Network still requires masks AND COVID-19 vaccinations to visit patients. There is simply no evidence that cloth masks stop transmission of SARS-CoV-2. I think there is now agreement that the vaccines don’t stop transmission, with it even being possible the vaccines increase transmission. The visiting rules are politics not science. This is wasted motion (and tax dollars) and possibly giving people a false sense of security.
Upcoming Elections
We have a provincial election coming June 2nd, a federal Conservative leadership race September 10th and Toronto municipal elections October 24th. It’s important to demonstrate and organize locally so we can more effectively lobby our local Scarborough politicians.

Rally at Markham and Lawrence this Saturday from 1pm -2pm
Last week there were a number of people that stopped by including Opa Day, upcoming New Blue candidate for Scarborough Guildwood and we again made some connections. There are people out there that feel isolated and it is very rewarding to be able to show them they are not alone. If nobody else is there by 1:30pm, I will shop at Healthy Planet and then head home. You are welcome to come earlier and/or stay longer but best to let me know in advance. If you can’t see us from the corner at Markham and Lawrence, then check the parking lot in front of Healthy Planet.
Please bring a sign, flag, empty gas cans, flyers etc. if you have them. By all means bring signs to support political candidates that support medical and other freedoms. Here are some examples. James Bountrogiannis who started these rallies is submitting papers to run in Scarborough North. Opa Day has submitted papers to run in Scarborough Guildwood. If Mitzie Hunter or John McKay want to rally to support freedom, they are welcome too, although Yvonne and I have never seen them during our many protests at their offices… John McKay’s office is still closed as of Thursday! I don’t know why he bothers having a constituency office. In the federal Conservative leadership race, Roman Baber from North York has been early and steadfast in his opposition to many of the provincial COVID-19 mandates. Leslyn Lewis has also criticized mandates and vaccinating children.
