Ontario Strengthens Enforcement of Stay-at-Home Order Implementing Stronger Enforcement, Travel Restrictions, Public Health Measures to Stop the Spread of COVID-19 and Save Lives
T
he Ontario government, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health and other health experts, is strengthening enforcement of the province's Stay-at-Home order while imposing new travel restrictions and further strengthening public health measures. These urgent actions are targeted at stopping the rapid growth in COVID-19 case rates and relieving mounting pressures on the province's health care system. Details were provided today by Premier Doug Ford, Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, Solicitor General Sylvia Jones, Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development and Dr. David Williams, Chief Medical Officer of Health. "As the latest modelling confirms, without taking immediate and decisive action COVID-19 cases will spiral out of control and our hospitals will be overwhelmed," said Premier Ford. "That's why we are making difficult, but necessary decisions to reduce mobility and keep people in the safety of their own homes. We need to contain the spread of this deadly virus, while getting vaccines in as many arms as quickly as possible." To increase public Long Term compliance with the Forecast Stay-at-Home order and Thursday High 5 stop the spread of Low -4 C O V I D - 1 9 , Friday amendments to an High 15 emergency order (O.Reg Low 1 8/21 Enforcement of Saturday High 10 Low -5 Sunday High 3 Low -4 Monday High 8 Low 2 Tuesday High 13 Low 6
COVID-19 Measures) have been made that will provide police officers and other provincial offences officers enhanced authority to support the enforcement of Ontario's Stay-at-Home order. Effective Saturday, April 17, 2021 at 12:01 a.m., police officers and other provincial offences officers will have the authority to require any individual to provide their home address and purpose for not being at their residence. In addition, police officers, special constables and First Nation Constables will have the authority to stop vehicles to inquire about an individual's reasons for leaving their home. This additional enforcement tool will only be in effect during the Stay-at-Home order and exclusively to enforce the Stay-at-Home order. "With our hospital system under significant pressure and the continued increase of COVID-19 variants, we are stepping up enforcement to ensure that people adhere to the Photo Kari Luhtasaari Stay-at-Home order and follow public health measures," said Solicitor General Sylvia Jones. "This is a critical moment in Ontario's response to this deadly virus, that's why we are doing whatever it takes to stop the spread and protect our communities." Both the provincial declaration of emergency and the Stay-at-Home order (O.Reg 265/21) have been extended for an additional two weeks to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The Stay-at-Home order currently in effect requires everyone to remain at home except for specified purposes, such as going to the grocery store or
pharmacy, accessing health care services (including getting vaccinated), for outdoor exercise, or for work that cannot be done remotely. "Now, more than ever before, businesses need to take all measures possible to stop the spread of C O V I D-19," said Minister McNaughton. "We're in workplaces every day to enforce safety requirements and we won't hesitate to stop unsafe work and ticket offenders. Today, we launched an enhanced, targeted provincewide inspection campaign of construction sites, dispatching 200 workplace inspectors, supported by provincial offenses officers, to visit 1,300 constructions sites to enforce COVID-19 safety requirements. In addition, provincial offences officers will also be visiting over 500 workplaces this weekend in the COVID-19 hotspots of Ottawa, Toronto and York Region. Their visits will include big-box stores, food processors, manufacturers and warehouses." In order to limit the transmission of the variants of concern, the government is also restricting travel into Ontario from the provinces of Manitoba and Quebec with the exception of purposes such as work, health care services, transportation and delivery of goods and services or exercising Aboriginal or treaty rights. "The rising spread of variants means we must take stronger measures to limit transmission and prevent our hospitals from being overwhelmed," said Christine Elliott, Deputy Cont’d on P.9

Be aware: Romance scams The Competition Bureau of Canada has published the The Little Black Book of Scams 2nd Edition and it is available online at https://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/eic/site/c b-bc.nsf/eng/04333.htm. The information is invaluable and should be of interest to virtually everyone. Over the next few months we will be publishing the information from the The Little Black Book of Scams 2nd Edition, one scam at a time. Last week we published Health and Medical Scams. Today the topic is: Romance Scams Who is really behind the keyboard? Keep your guard up and look out for potential scammers who will try to lower your defences by appealing to your romantic and compassionate side. They can prey on you on popular dating sites as well as on fake ones. On a real dating site, a scammer might send you a few messages and a goodlooking photo of themselves, or of someone they claim to be. Once you are charmed, they will start asking your to send money. They may claim to have a very sick family member or a desperate
situation with which they need your help. Once you give them the money, they often disappear. (My note; Or others have been known to continue to ask for money, each time for a specific situation, and knowing that even should you begin to question their honesty will often not seek help due to embarrassment for getting hooked. People have lost their life savings to these particularly heinous fraudsters.) A fraudster can also create a fake dating site where you pay for each message you send and receive. To keep your writing back and paying, the scammer may hook you in with vague emails about their love and desire for you. In many cases, the scammer may even arrange to meet up with you in person to make their fraud seem more credible. Tips to protect yourself: · Never send money or give financial details on a dating site. · Trust your instincts, ask questions and carefully read the terms and conditions before signing up. · Know which services are free, which ones cost money and what it takes to cancel your
account. · Make sure you use only legitimate and reputable dating sites. Always check website addresses carefully as scammers often mimic real web addresses. · Remember it is unlikely that someone will declare their undying love to anyone after only a few letters, emails, phone calls or pictures. If you suspect a scam, always report it The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, managed by the RCMP, the Competition Bureau and the Ontario Provincial Police, has plenty of information on fraud.

Méfiez-vous des fraudes relatives aux services de rencontre Le Bureau du Canada à publier « The Little Black Book of Scams » 2nd edition et est maintenant disponible en ligne à https://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/eic/site/c b-bc.nsf/eng/04333.htm. L'information est très importante et devrait attirer l'intérêt de tous le monde. Dans les prochains mois ils y auras autres publications de escroqueries (une par semaine). L'information sera retrouver dans le livre « The Little Black Book of Scams » 2nd edition. FRAUDES RELATIVES AUX SERVICES DE RENCONTRE Qui se trouve réellement derrière l'écran? Restez sur vos gardes et faites attention aux fraudeurs qui cherchent à vous faire relâcher votre vigilance en faisant appel à votre côté romantique et compatissant. Ils se cachent non seulement sur les faux sites de rencontre, mais aussi sur les sites populaires légitimes. Sur un vrai site de rencontre, un fraudeur pourrait vous envoyer quelques messages avec des photos flatteuses de sa personne… ou de celle qu'il dit être. Une fois que vous êtes sous le charme, il vous demande d'envoyer de l'argent pour diverses raisons : un membre de famille malade, ou une situation désespérée pour laquelle il a besoin de votre aide. Après avoir payé, vous ne le reverrez sans doute plus. Un fraudeur peut aussi créer un faux
site de rencontre dans lequel vous payez pour chaque message envoyé et reçu. Pour vous forcer à répondre et payer, le fraudeur vous intriguera par de vagues messages où il déclare son amour. Dans bien des cas, le fraudeur essaye même d'organiser une rencontre en personne pour rendre l'arnaque plus crédible. Pour vous protéger : N'envoyez jamais d'argent et ne donnez jamais de renseignements financiers sur un site de rencontre. Fiez-vous à votre instinct. Posez des questions et lisez attentivement les conditions d'utilisation avant de vous inscrire. Sachez quels services sont gratuits, lesquels ne le sont pas et ce qu'il faut faire pour annuler son inscription. Assurez-vous de n'utiliser que des sites de rencontre légitimes et fiables. Lisez toujours l'adresse attentivement; les fraudeurs imitent souvent les adresses de vrais sites. Souvenez-vous qu'il est très peu probable qu'une personne déclare son amour éternel après seulement quelques lettres, courriels, appels ou photos. Si vous soupçonnez une fraude, signalez-la immédiatement.

Chapleau Moments by
Michael J. Morris I have been feeling nostalgic recently, perhaps being contained in Cranbrook by the virus has something to do with it. I did get my first vaccination the other day, and I do believe that by staying positive I’m sure and certainly hope there are better days ahead.
Also, It never entered my mind that I may now be in the Winter years of my life until I received an email from a friend some years ago now. She expressed the thought that we are in the “Winter” of our years, and may have arrived there sooner than we thought. It was a most kind message, but it got me thinking about the Winter years -- Am I really there now? Maybe but my doctor encourages me to keep writing Chapleau Moments and on Facebook. Keeps my brain working at least a bit. Gosh, it seems like just yesterday that I was cruising the sidewalks of Chapleau on my tricycle, and making the trip up and over the horseshoe bridge to visit my grandparents. Lil and Harry Morris, on the other side of town. That was in the 1940s. It doesn't seem that long ago since I started in Grade One at Chapleau Public School, and enjoyed every moment of the eight years I spent
Michael reflects on “The Winter of our years ...have they arrived” there. My mother, Muriel E. (Hunt) Morris, who many of you knew, taught at CPS for 32 years and we had an arrangement that I would not bother her with "son stuff" ever, and it worked. I recall one time the principal J.M. Shoup sent all the boys to the office for the strap because of a snowball fight. And, it would have been a disaster for me with the other kids if Mr Shoup had let me off, particularly because I was guilty. I actually loved snowball fights. Mom was my teacher in Grade Six, and treated me like everyone else, even on the day I got the strap for being part of the big snowball fight, and had to enter the room while she was reading the afternoon story to the class. She just continued reading and never mentioned the incident. It was only 66 years ago since I started Grade Nine at Chapleau High School in 1955, and I have fond memories to this day of the positive influence John 'Mac' McClellan, George Lemon, two of the principals, and Dr Karl A Hackstetter and his wife Mrs. Hackstetter, had on me. Roland Michaud and Richard Murchland were two of the best English teachers I had anywhere, and contributed immensely to the "sound of story" being alive in all I have done ever since. Like every kid I had my favourite teachers and these happened to be mine. High school days were awesome, and I made many new friends who arrived at the same
MJM at CHS 1957
time from Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Separate School. The annual inspection of 1181 Chapleau High School Cadet Corps, banquet and dance were highlights of every school year. And to visit with so many of my friends at the CHS reunion in 2012, was a very special moment, as well as seeing students from my years there as a teacher. I taught at CHS almost 20 years before moving to Cranbrook where I taught Communications until taking early retirement ion 2000. It seems that it was only yesterday that my cousins were singing 'She'll be Coming Round the Mountain' on the day our grandmother, Edythe Hunt, arrived home from England in 1944 after serving as a Red Cross nurse with the British Army in England since 1939. I told them she was coming from Toronto and there were no mountains on the route. It was only a moment ago that my mother and I got on the evening Canadian Pacific Railway train for an overnight ride to Toronto to visit family and friends there, or board another train to head into the United States to visit folks there. It doesn't seem that long ago since I took my first airplane ride over Pittsburgh in a Piper Cub with Iven Nichol as the pilot, one of my father, Jim Morris' best friends from RCAF days, and his daughter Sandy as the other passenger. That was about 1952.. When I am out and about I sometimes still sing 'Heart of My Heart' that our Bantam team sang over and over again in our private railway car on the way to and from Sudbury to play hockey in 1954. I wasn't a very good hockey player but loved the game so Don and Olive M. Card and Garth "Tee" Chambers made it possible for me to become a referee, even sending me to a school in North Bay. And I remember like it was only yesterday that Sunday afternoon in 1956 when Tee gave me my first referee's sweater and I worked a game with him in the Chapleau Memorial Arena.

REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa by/par
Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
Every year on April 28th Canadians observe the Day of Mourning to remember those who have become ill, been injured, or even killed at work. It is often marked by important ceremonies across the riding, including the annual gathering at the Miner’s Memorial in Elliot Lake. At these events, we re-commit to doing our best to ensure that workplaces are safe places for everyone. This year, we are adding the names of front-line workers affected by Covid19 to the list of those who became ill or have died from contracting the virus at work. The pandemic has shown that workplace health and safety considerations are always changing. It also illustrates the cumulative effects of bad choices made by governments that were focused on saving pennies instead of ensuring we were best prepared to save lives. It has forced us to reconsider the societal value of accepted employment models and proved the
Day of Mourning takes on urgent tone in pandemic need to ensure that every worker has paid sick days. As we witnessed the tragedies that unfolded in Long Term Care (LTC) residences in the first wave of the pandemic, we were hearing less about outbreaks of Covid in other congregate living scenarios such as work camps and group homes despite the challenges those settings encountered. While some workplaces, such as meat packing plants, proved to be difficult to secure due to close-quartered conditions, in most cases it was LTC and group home employees spreading the virus as they travelled between part-time jobs that proved to be the biggest challenge. New Democrats were raising concerns about the growth in part-time, precarious work for years, but it took a pandemic to show that the concerns related to the employment model were not just theoretical. The criticisms that informed our efforts to halt and even reverse the growth in part-time work were confirmed when people who were forced to hold multiple jobs were seen as a driving factor for the spread of Covid among LTC and other congregate living facilities in the first wave. This led to our negotiations for paid sick days for all workers and ultimately the concession we forced from the government who, incredibly, weren’t going to address the problem
in the heart of a pandemic. It can be argued that workers’ rights have been a missing ingredient in public health considerations throughout the pandemic. The outbreaks in meat packing plants and distribution centres were avoidable, but governments have proven to be ineffective and deferential to corporate interests – all while Mom and Pop shops were not even allowed to attempt to navigate their businesses through the threat. It is clear the government needs to learn from the pandemic and rebuild capacity, preparedness, and resilience into our public health systems. Whether that’s the production of vaccine or ensuring our stores of PPE are never allowed to expire without replacement, there is much room for improvement. So much of that improvement will be driven from within our workplaces with the help of allies like those in the labour movement. We can build on successes like federal paid sick days. We can ensure that workers at risk are prioritized for vaccinations and can demand the government do more to assist provinces struggling to administer the doses we already possess. We must do this for the same reason we gather for Day of Mourning every year, because nobody deserves to die, be injured, or become ill when they go to work.
Le Jour de deuil prend un ton urgent en période de pandémie Chaque année, le 28 avril, les Canadiens observent le Jour de deuil pour se souvenir de celles et ceux qui sont tombés malades, ont été blessés ou même tués au travail. La journée est souvent marquée par d’importantes cérémonies dans la circonscription, notamment le rassemblement annuel au mémorial des mineurs à Elliot Lake. Lors de ces cérémonies, nous nous engageons à nouveau à faire de notre mieux pour que les lieux de travail soient des endroits sûrs pour tous. Cette année, nous ajoutons les noms des travailleuses et travailleurs de première ligne touchés par la COVID-19 à la liste de ceux qui sont tombés malades ou qui sont malheureusement morts après avoir contracté le virus au travail. La pandémie nous a montré que les considérations de santé et de sécurité sur le lieu de travail sont en constante évolution. Elle illustre également les effets cumulatifs de mauvais choix faits par des gouvernements qui cherchaient à économiser des sous au lieu de s’assurer que nous étions le mieux préparés possible à sauver des vies. La pandémie nous a obligés à reconsidérer la valeur sociétale des modèles d’emploi acceptés et a prouvé la nécessité de garantir à chaque travailleuse et travailleur des jours de maladie payés. Nous avons tous été témoins des tragédies qui se sont déroulées dans les établissements de soins de longue durée lors de la première vague de la pandémie, mais nous avons moins entendu parler des éclosions de COVID-19 dans d’autres lieux de vie collective, comme les campements ouvriers et
les foyers de groupe, même si ces milieux vivaient aussi beaucoup de difficultés. Si certains lieux de travail, comme les usines de conditionnement de la viande, ont été difficiles à sécuriser en raison de la situation de proximité des travailleuses et travailleurs, dans la plupart des cas, ce sont les déplacements des employés entre leurs emplois à temps partiel dans les établissements de soins de longue durée et les foyers de groupe qui ont été le plus complexe. D’ailleurs, cela fait des années que les néodémocrates dénoncent l’augmentation du travail à temps partiel et précaire, mais il a fallu une pandémie pour montrer que les préoccupations liées au modèle d’emploi n’étaient pas que théoriques. Les critiques qui ont alimenté nos efforts pour stopper et même inverser la croissance du travail à temps partiel ont été confirmées lorsqu’on s’est rendu compte que les personnes obligées d’occuper plusieurs emplois étaient un facteur déterminant de la propagation de la COVID-19 dans les établissements de soins de longue durée et d’autres établissements de vie en communauté, lors de la première vague. C’est ce qui nous a conduits à négocier des jours de congé de maladie payé pour tous les travailleuses et travailleurs et, en fin de compte, à faire une concession au gouvernement, qui, chose incroyable, n’allait pas s’attaquer au problème en plein cœur d’une pandémie. On peut affirmer que les droits des travailleuses et travailleurs n’ont pas été pris en
compte dans les considérations de santé publique tout au long de la pandémie. Les éclosions survenues dans les usines de conditionnement de la viande et les centres de distribution auraient pu être évitées, mais les gouvernements se sont montrés inefficaces et complaisants face aux intérêts des entreprises, alors que les petits commerçants n’ont même pas été autorisés à essayer de faire face à la menace. Il est évident que le gouvernement doit tirer les leçons de la pandémie et reconstruire la capacité, la préparation et la résilience de nos systèmes de santé publique. Qu’il s’agisse de produire des vaccins ou de veiller à ce que nos stocks d’équipement de protection ne deviennent jamais périmés sans être remplacés, il reste beaucoup de choses à améliorer. Une grande partie de cette amélioration viendra de nos milieux de travail, avec l’aide d’alliés comme ceux du mouvement syndical. Nous pouvons nous appuyer sur des réussites comme les jours de congé de maladie payé au niveau fédéral. Nous pouvons veiller à ce que les travailleuses et travailleurs à risque soient vaccinés en priorité et nous pouvons exiger du gouvernement qu’il en fasse plus pour aider les provinces qui ont du mal à administrer les doses que nous avons déjà en mains. Nous devons le faire pour la même raison que celle pour laquelle nous nous rassemblons chaque année pour le Jour de deuil : parce que personne ne mérite de mourir, d’être blessé ou de tomber malade en allant au travail.

$5,500 in Fines and Hunting Suspension for Member of an Illegal Moose Hunt The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) wants to remind hunters that abandoning hunted wildlife suitable for human consumption is illegal. Individuals should contact a conservation officer if the wrong animal is hunted. Keith MacCrae of Hearst has been fined a total of $5,500 and has been handed a one-year hunting suspension after pleading guilty to possessing wildlife unlawfully killed and permitting flesh to become unsuitable for human consumption. Other members of the hunting party were found guilty in a previous court appearance. In total, the hunting party has received $23,000 in fines and eight years in hunting suspensions. Court heard that on December 7, 2018, MacCrae was hunting as a member of a party when a bull moose was hunted without a proper game seal. His hunting party only possessed a cow moose game seal. After realizing the wrong animal had been hunted, members of the hunting party transported the moose away from the kill site. The next day a snowmobile was used to transport the moose to a remote location to avoid detection by conservation officers. The remains of the bull moose were discovered by conservation officers through information received from the public and the use of a MNRF canine team. Once the bull moose remains were located, a lengthy investigation was conducted by conservation officers from the Hearst Enforcement Unit with assistance from the Timmins Enforcement Unit. Justice of the Peace Jean-Marie Blier heard the case remotely in the Ontario Court of Justice on February 23, 2021. MNRF conservation officers continue to patrol and protect our natural resources during the current COVID-19 pandemic and would like to remind everyone that by respecting seasons, sanctuaries, bag and possession limits we all help ensure our natural resources stay healthy. Visit Ontario's website to learn more about how the province continues to protect Ontarians from COVID-19.

Amendes totalisant 5 500 $ et interdiction de chasser pour un membre d'un groupe ayant abattu un orignal illégalement Le ministère des Richesses naturelles et des forêts (MRNF) rappelle aux chasseur(se)s que d'abandonner une espèce sauvage récoltée propre à la consommation est illégal. Les personnes qui ont abattu le mauvais animal doivent communiquer avec un(e) agent(e) de protection de la nature. Keith MacCrae, de Hearst, a été condamné à des amendes totalisant 5 500 $ et il lui est interdit de chasser pendant un an pour avoir possédé une espèce sauvage abattue illégalement et permis que sa chair devienne impropre à la consommation. D'autres membres de son groupe ont été trouvés coupables lors de comparutions antérieures. Le groupe de chasse a été condamné à des amendes totalisant 23 000 $ et à des interdictions de chasser pour huit années en tout. La Cour a appris que, le 7 décembre 2018, monsieur MacCrae chassait en tant que membre d'un groupe quand un orignal adulte mâle a été abattu sans que le groupe possède la vignette de chasse adéquate. Son groupe ne possédait qu'une vignette de chasse à l'orignal adulte femelle. Après s'être rendu compte que le mauvais animal avait été abattu, les membres du groupe ont transporté l'animal à distance du lieu d'abattage.

Passer du temps à l’extérieur contribue à notre bien-être (EN) S’il n’est pas surprenant que le plein air contribue à une meilleure santé physique, des études montrent qu’il améliore également la santé mentale. Aujourd’hui, les restrictions liées à la COVID-19 nous font encore plus apprécier le grand air. Être à l’extérieur nous permet de rencontrer des gens en respectant la distanciation sociale avec nos familles et nos amis, ce qui accroît le bien-être général. Les visites sur le trottoir sont désormais une partie intégrante de nos agendas. Faire des marches et profiter des parcs, des terrains de sport ou de leur propre jardin s’est avéré être une source de plaisir pour les familles, tout en contribuant à la santé communautaire. Il n’est pas rare que les espaces verts soient menacés par les insectes, les mauvaises herbes et les maladies, mais il existe des outils – comme les pesticides à usage urbain – qui peuvent aider à gérer ces menaces et à garder les espaces extérieurs sains et agréables. Les pesticides se présentent sous forme de préparations grand public conçues spécialement pour une
utilisation par les particuliers, ainsi que sous forme de produits commerciaux destinés à être utilisés par des personnes ayant reçu une formation spécialisée, tels les employés des entreprises d’entretien des pelouses et d’aménagement paysager. Les pesticides sont efficaces et sûrs car, avant qu’un seul puisse être vendu, il doit être approuvé par Santé Canada. Notre processus de règlementation est rigoureux, reconnu dans le monde entier, et il garantit que tous les pesticides utilisés sont sans danger tant pour la population que pour l’environnement.

Stress is not something that we generally think of in a positive light. Stress, however, can actually have positive effect on our lives. For example, stress can be a useful motivator in getting ourselves to take action, learn and prepare for events in our lives. Also we know athletes perform better with a controlled amount of stress. Clearly though, high, and prolonged stress is not good -- we all know that. Like anything in life, moderation is the key. Most of us can handle stress; even high stress when necessary. Sometimes we have to even handle somewhat prolonged stress such as when a loved one is sick or injured. In general, those stresses we find manageable in that we are able to generate reasonable timelines and outcomes that are relatively foreseeable. Recently I heard part of a remarkably interesting CBC radio podcast in which the topic was the difference between our normal stresses in our lifetime and stresses which we are experiencing now because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The psychologist guest pointed out that the stresses caused by the pandemic are worse not only because of the prolonged nature of pandemic but the stresses are also magnified by the fact that everything associated with the pandemic is so unpredictable, unstable, and out of our personal control. The psychologist has hit the nail bang on.

As I see it, experiencing this pandemic is kind of like riding a speeding rollercoaster. The stress of riding the standard rollercoaster is manageable because we can see the hills, valleys and turns up ahead. We can brace ourselves for them. But this pandemic rollercoaster ride we are on has unanticipated highs and lows as well as twists, turns and loop de loops that we can't see coming at us until we are suddenly upon them. We don't even know how long the ride will be! If we can understand beforehand that the pandemic rollercoaster ride is “double black d i a m o n d s t r e s s o r, ” w e c a n f o r m u l a t e expectations and strategies to helps us navigate the route with greater confidence. In real life, this is where our government leaders can help. When the pandemic hit, the government needed to develop a plan that would help us to manage taking the twists and turns as they come and instill a sense of confidence. Instead, what Ontarians are being subjected to is a government that is short sighted, focusing too much on economic prosperity rather than physical and mental health. As a result not listening to public health experts and poor planning, Doug Ford marched us right into this lockdown with eyes wide open. Experts made it clear every step of the way: he was re-opening too quickly, taking away public health protections too soon, and implementing half-measures that would not stop the spread. This brutal lockdown today is of his making. Go back a year ago when it was decided for the protection of our children that schools needed to be closed until we could come up with a plan that would ensure their safe return to classes. Premier Ford and Education Minister Lecce promised that no expense would be spared to make our schools safe. The NDP proposed over and over again to spend money to protect our students by capping class sizes, vaccinating frontline workers, providing sick days, on-site testing, in-workplace vaccine clinics and more. But Mr. Ford would not spend money he has from the federal government to help protect Ontarians from the virus. And then it happened across the province. Students and teachers became infected and classes or entire schools had to be closed. The schools had to shut down early at Christmas and have a delayed start in the New Year. People said, “So much for a safe school plan.” Now Ontario finds itself mired in a devastating third wave that in every way pales the first and second. Mr. Ford and Mr. Lecce earnestly promised Ontarians that our children are safe and secure in our schools. Every assurance was made that the schools would close for a delayed spring break and then reopen the following week. · Lecce: April 11: “Ontario has one of the
lowest case rates for young people under 19 years old in Canada…. since September, 99.2 per cent of students and 98.7 per cent of staff never reported an active case.” · Ford: April 7: “These schools are safe.” · Ford: April 6: “Schools are safe. Folks, across the province, we're looking at 98.5 per cent, almost 99 per cent of the schools are currently open.” · Lecce: April 6: “Schools are safe. The data speaks for itself.” · Lecce: April 1: “But we are proud on this side of the House. We're proud of our students and the system of education that has worked so well to keep COVID out of our schools.” Then, after all of these resounding assurances, over a single weekend there was a complete flip-flop and the premier and minister announced a province wide stay home order and that schools were immediately closed until further notice. Daycares and after school care programs would be closed. Suddenly, after being assured that things were fine, parents are left to scramble for childcare. Even worse, Doug Ford and his cabinet knew on Friday that they would be announcing the school closure Monday. So much for the government instilling a sense of confidence in peoples' minds. My office receives hundreds of calls and emails from frustrated and stressed out constituents who just don't know what to believe anymore. The eligibility and actual access to receive the vaccine depends upon the age of people in different regions and whether it is urban or rural it seems. There seems to be no consistency but an ample supply of confusion and frustration. The people of Ontario are intelligent, strong and resilient. They have the fortitude to handle any rollercoaster ride that is thrown at them as long as they have clear, consistent and confident leadership. That is something that seems to be lacking these days in Queen's Park. Ontarians deserve better. As always, please feel free to contact my office about these issues, or any other provincial matters. You can reach my constituency office by email at mmantha-co@ndp.on.ca or by phone at 705-461-9710 or Toll free 1-800-831-1899.

We’ve rounded up the best practices to embrace the natural aging process and help you live your best life, no matter your age. Make healthy food choices Did you know gut health may play an important role in healthy aging? Nutritionists recommend focusing on good bacteria in the gut.

antioxidant vitamins A and C to help support gut health. Revitalize your smile Keeping your smile healthy is key to your confidence, and your gums play an essential role since they are the foundation of a healthy smile.

It features a new, specialized formula that helps reverse early gum damage and reduces bleeding and inflammation for healthy and revitalized gums.

Doug Ford’s terrible record on paid sick days for workers Doug Ford has never supported paid sick days. He even went out of his way to speak against the federal program while not bringing in provincial paid sick days, and spent the spring attacking any notion of provincial paid sick days. On June 5 2020, Ford opposed the push for a federal paid sick leave program, stating: • “I don't support it. We have legislation that protects jobs that people, if they, you know, again, if they don't feel safe, they don't have to go into work. That is a priority for BC, but there wasn't too much take up on that right across the country, to be very frank.” Once the federal government introduced the current program that he opposed, Ford stood in the Legislature and threw attacks, suggesting the push for paid sick days was misinformation: • April 15: “She’s telling the people that there are no paid sick days. Imagine the people at home listening to this who won’t even apply to the federal government’s sick day program that we fought hard for, that we fought for $1.1 billion.” • February 17: “… rather than sitting there and constantly criticizing from day one, putting confusion with the public about paid sick days. Rather than sending inaccurate information out to the public and hurting the public, why don’t you come and join us to support the people of Ontario for once, rather than just sit there and criticize and criticize? It’s like listening to nails on a chalkboard, listening to you.” • February 16: “Anyone that I’ve ever talked to that I’ve said, “Oh, there’s already a program,” the first thing they say is, “Well, the Leader of the Opposition must be confused because she’s making it out that there are no sick days.” Again, it’s very disappointing that the Leader of the Opposition would be out there and confusing people.” • February 16: “waste of taxpayer’s money”

Change for the better: New habits to keep post-lockdown flossing to prevent tooth decay and promote gum health,” explains Dr. Thomas Nguyen, assistant professor in periodontology at McGill. The oral health products you use play a part, so consider switching to a toothpaste like the new Colgate Renewal Gum Revitalize, which features a specialized formula that helps reverse early gum damage.

Voici quelques questions courantes et les réponses obtenues directement auprès de Santé Canada. Comment a-t-on pu développer des vaccins contre la COVID-19 aussi rapidement? La création d’un nouveau vaccin peut prendre des années. Toutefois, les vaccins contre la COVID-19 ont été développés rapidement, sans compromis à l’égard de la sécurité, grâce aux avancées en science et en technologie, à la collaboration internationale de scientifiques, de professionnels de la santé, de chercheurs, de l’industrie et de gouvernements, et à un financement accru. Les vaccins sont-ils sûrs? Le Canada est reconnu dans le monde entier pour ses normes élevées et son processus rigoureux d’examen des vaccins. Seuls les vaccins qui sont jugés sûrs, efficaces et de grande qualité sont autorisés au Canada. Les vaccins contre la COVID-19 ont été soumis à des tests rigoureux durant leur élaboration et ont été soigneusement examinés par Santé Canada. Les essais cliniques des vaccins contre la COVID-19 ont lieu depuis le printemps 2020, et des millions de personnes au Canada et dans le monde ont déjà été vaccinées. Puis-je contracter la COVID-19 à cause du vaccin? Les vaccins ne peuvent pas donner la COVID-19 parce qu’ils ne contiennent pas le virus qui cause la maladie. En quoi les types de vaccins diffèrent-ils? Santé Canada a approuvé à ce jour deux types de vaccins : les vaccins à base d’ARNm et les vaccins à vecteur viral. Les vaccins à base d’ARNm donnent des instructions aux cellules pour qu’elles génèrent une protéine du coronavirus. La protéine déclenche alors une réponse immunitaire qui contribue à vous protéger contre la COVID-19. Les vaccins à vecteur viral utilisent un virus (mais pas celui de la COVID19) qui a été rendu inoffensif afin de produire des protéines du coronavirus dans l’organisme sans causer la maladie. La protéine déclenche ensuite une réponse chaexpress@sympatico.ca immunitaire qui contribue à vous protéger contre la COVID-19. Les deux types de vaccins sont sûrs et efficaces. 705-864-2579 Vous trouverez davantage de renseignements sur les vaccins contre la COVID-19 sur canada.ca/vaccin-covid.

With lockdown rules loosening, you may find your lifestyle changing to reflect a returning sense of freedom. Here are some healthy habits to consider keeping postlockdown. Make time for hobbies Did you learn to bake during lockdown? Take on any DIY projects? Whether it was cooking more, completing a 1,000-piece puzzle or writing the next great Canadian novel, we all found unique ways to upgrade our skills or occupy our time at home. While it’s tempting to zone out in front of the TV or laptop after work, keep making space for your new activities to help reduce stress.
