On this episode of Global National: Canada's provincial and federal governments are reimposing multiple restrictions in a bid to blunt the steep rise of Omicron. Abigail Bimman looks at the new rules in Ontario and Nova Scotia, and what Ottawa is about to mandate once again for people making quick dashes across the border.

As British Columbia also faces a steep rise in COVID-19 cases spurred by Omicron, the province is also reintroducing a slew of restrictions to slow the spread. Keith Baldrey reports on the changes and how they will affect New Year's celebrations.

In the United States, President Joe Biden is issuing dire warnings ahead of the holidays, as Omicron tightens its grip on the country, while hospitals still deal with the Delta variant. As Jackson Proskow reports, unvaccinated Americans are especially at risk.

As cases of Omicron surge, what can you do to better protect yourself? What risk does it pose to children who aren't eligible to be vaccinated? And when can we expect to know more about how severe this variant really is? Global National's Dawna Friesen speaks with infectious diseases physician Dr. Lisa Barrett to answer your questions.

Meanwhile, reaction is pouring in to a Global News story about Nazifa, the 10-year-old Afghan girl approved to come to Canada but was murdered by the Taliban. As Jeff Semple reports, her death has people wondering why she and her family were not rescued sooner.

And big boars lead to bigger problems. Over the years, wild boars have become increasingly common in parts of Canada. But researchers say these creatures are nightmares. Mike Drolet explains the danger behind the invasive species.

2 weeks to flatten the curve has become 2 years to flatten the economy and people's livelihoods.

Remember when the Prime Minister told the people of Canada that the way out of the pandemic was to get vaccinated ?
So ...

Obedience: Doing what you’re told, regardless of what is right.

You don’t quarantine the healthy you quarantine the sick.

"Control Omicron"
We know it's to control something, but omicron isn't it

It feels like there is a competition which country will get crazier and more tyrannical. The word science lost its meaning.

The government is really loving all this control. If memory serves me right, haven't we seen this before in history? I will have as many people in my home as I chose - not what the government tells me.

So got two vaccine shots as part of the “two dose summer” but I still can’t have a normal Christmas? Why would I think a booster would buy my freedom back?
