Burden of proof rests on those making the claim. Can you prove that I do have it? Aren't you the guy who's all about stay at home, but was then revealed to have bought a brand new motorcycle during the spring lockdown?

The premise is exactly the same -- removing of fundamental rights based on something that someone may/may not have done. I don't have COVID, why is me going for an evening walk at 10PM suddenly illegal?

I haven't broken any laws. I certainly draw the ire of some people on here for going outside with friends, but that isn't illegal yet thank god. I mean, why bother having any rights at all? There are crimes far worse than having an illegal gathering yet I don't hear anyone on here suggesting we...

https://www.cp24.com/news/ontario-s-top-doctor-eyes-curfew-to-curb-the-spread-of-covid-19-as-cases-surge-1.5258230 Seriously, this is ridiculous. Politicians going on vacation left and right, but we need a curfew now? Thanks Quebec for opening the door to this garbage.

Yes the famed "mostly peaceful" BLM protests that involve: burning and looting private businesses mobbing, and in some cases, beating/killing ordinary citizens trying to go about their day harassing ordinary citizens (mostly white) sitting down eating dinner at restaurants all of which were...

Idiotic, this will only serve to ruin their movement's image even further. Apart from it being the nation's capitol, this is a drop in the bucket compared to what was going on in May/June/July across the country, but that doesn't make it right. It is amusing to see the "mostly peaceful...

? for an early spring.

Nothing different for me since the restrictions are more/less what we've had in Toronto since early November. Fingers crossed for an early spring.

The playgrounds/outdoor exercise equipment thing from spring was so dumb. God forbid we let people do some chinups in a park, the bars are usually 6 feet apart already anyway.

Because our federal government is incompetent.

Yeah I am being serious, there is nothing wrong with a couple people having some beers around a bonfire and then responsibly enjoying some distanced outdoor activities. The risk level is quite low. If it were as bad as you would suggest, then half the province would already be dead, given the...

Life is full of risks. Manage yours according to your own risk tolerance. Some would call you a fool for riding a motorcycle, which I'm sure isn't something you'd agree with, right? Same type of deal.

Nothing wrong with that, outdoor transmission risk is significantly lower than indoor.

https://www.680news.com/2020/12/20/all-regions-in-ontario-to-enter-lockdown-starting-christmas-eve-source/ I wonder if this means a spring style lockdown, or just a continuation of what we in Toronto already have (plus schools closed).

It's a myth that uneducated people are evil. Some of the most evil people in history were extremely well educated. For example, the upper echelons of the Nazi machinery were filled with highly intelligent people (most of whom the allies were happy to scoop up and use for their own purposes, but...

Ah yes "deradicalization" Austria terror attacker ‘pretended he had given up jihadism’

During the pandemic the city has gone full steam ahead with the bike lanes on Bloor in the west-end, and it's been a complete gong-show. Bloor is effectively one lane each way now. Right turn on red has been heavily restricted, causing traffic jams because everyone has to wait behind someone...

It's not just about weather, under 7 degrees most tires (even all season/weather) ones will become hard. Winter tires are softer and stay softer during colder temperatures. For this reason I've always put winters on my car.
