The least safe way of getting around right now is in a car. Public officials need to be clear on that.

Those who wrongly deny that Canada's mostly science based approach to Covid has saved lives need to look at this chart. The US per capita death rate for Covid from start to Dec. 19, 2023 is 243% of Canada's. We could matched the US and have had 129,932 deaths instead of 53,470.
