Global National: Dec. 27, 2021 | More provinces impose new COVID-19 restrictions amid Omicron surge

We begin with the rapid spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant and new measures to try and slow it down. With cases spiking, new restrictions will take effect in New Brunswick and Manitoba. In Manitoba, there are new capacity limits on public gatherings and liquor sales will stop at 10 p.m.

Today, Canada officially surpassed two million COVID-19 infections with cases surging like never before, while hospitals are bracing for potential impact. Abigail Bimman has more on the response.

In Israel, a trial has begun to see if a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine can help vulnerable people against the virus. It comes as the vast majority of people in Africa are still waiting for their first dose. One of the country’s with the lowest vaccination rates is the Democratic Republic of Congo. Redmond Shannon reports on the situation there.

In the U.S., several western states have been hit by winter storms, knocking out power for thousands of people and disrupting traffic on the road and in the air. Jennifer Johnson reports.

With the new year right around the corner, we’re looking back at the top business stories of 2021. It was a busy year with no shortage of drama. From a family feud at Canada’s largest telecom firm to supply chain disruptions and surging real estate prices. Here’s Anne Gaviola.

Before we head into the new year we want to take a moment to recognize those we’ve lost. Eric Sorensen takes a look back at those who left us this year.

This nightmare will not end until there is mass non compliance.

For the first time in history, the ineffectiveness of a medication is being blamed on those that do not take it.

[XCIION]

the year is 2025 you accidentally sneeze at work and are told to self isolate for 14 days and told to get your 27th booster shot.

[princessleia]

Who are they blaming for Omicron while poor unvaccinated not allowed to travel? The outbreak on cruise ships, hockey, flight crews, are they all jabbed? 🤔

“I think the people have reached a point where they can’t trust the government, ”..

We baked a pizza at 475 for 40 minutes and it was burned so badly that we couldn’t eat it. So this next pizza we are going to bake it at 475 for 40 minutes….we are sure it will be good.

Merry Christmas to all unvaccinated. Its a privilege to stand side by side with y'all.

Propaganda within propaganda by propagandist

[mikeyrichard]

Since when did public health move from:
"protecting the vulnerable"
to
"protecting the vaccinated" ?

I also can't believe that so many people are getting colds and flus during the cold and flu season.

[mike]

So you can’t catch omicron before 10pm in a liquor stores ? wow that is one smart variant and it can also only get you when your standing up in a restaurant but when you sit down you can take your face diaper off and all is well

[becauseiamawezome]

If social media and the internet was as big back in 2002/2003 as it is now, we'd still be hearing about H1 N1 or SARS

[kd]

It’s all about money and power. That’s what this has turned into

[kentillotson]

the virus has mutated in an expected manner, by becoming less deadly, but much more transmissible especially among the vaxxed..

These life saving nutrients are covered in the Canadian Criminal Code, section 245 (1)

Title; "Administering noxious thing"

245 (1) Every person who administers or causes to be administered to any other person or causes any other person to take poison or any other destructive or noxious thing is guilty

(a) of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than 14 years, if they did so with intent to endanger the life of or to cause bodily harm to that person; or

(b) of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than two years or of an offence punishable on summary conviction, if they did so with intent to aggrieve or annoy that person.



Where and if no offence is said to exist then proof provided of the injection ingredients in whole and in consideration of the performance nature of the same ingredients within my body and of the biologically determined long term health effects be known, or be liable for prosecution regardless".

You thought these mandates would be over if you complied with vaccines but it will never end if you keep complying

[robperry]

This is so idiotic. And to live and breathe and think at such a time is an eye opener. They already know the solutions to this pandemic and they refuse to promote them.

[whatdoyouwantfromme]

How about new measure to " property feed everyone and homes and apartments eh " stop scaring people about the flu 😝

[MrPatrick]

The Psychic Epidemic continues: “Indeed, it is becoming ever more obvious that it is not famine, not earthquakes, not microbes, not cancer but man himself who is man's greatest danger to man, for the simple reason that there is no adequate protection against psychic epidemics, which are infinitely more devastating than the worst of natural catastrophes."

The Canadian gov't updated *Economic and Fiscal Update*, page 25, includes a chart showing how much they will be spending every year on boosters. 2026-2027 has $507 million dollars for Covid-19 vaccination program.

They have _zero_ intention of "returning to normal".

For the love of God, quit getting tested!!!
