I hope someone compiles a list of restaurants that will continue to enforce proof of vaccination after January 17th, because those are the restaurants where I will spend my money.
Lifting this requirement in the dead of winter, during a fourth wave, is alarmingly stupid.
So let me get this straight: Ontario is planning to lift proof of vaccination requirements on January 17th, which means that anti-vaxxers can simply wait it out until January 17th and remain unvaccinated?

When my kids were little, we were broke. Even when I started on the Hill (at $38K a year), every month I struggled to pay for after school care. Fortunately, I received a subsidy to help. A tax credit does nothing if you can’t afford to pay out of pocket for childcare.

The release of the conservative fiscal plan confirms total cut of $10/day child care: it's anti-women, anti-family and anti-kids and would undermine a strong and fair social and economic recovery. Not a surprise but an awful choice. Elections have consequences
