The recent Quebec Governmentâs extension of lockdowns and implementation of curfews to limit the spread of COVID-19 will have more harmful effects on the health and welfare of the population than benefits.
The purpose of this article written by a family physician, a business professor, and a lawyer, all based in Montreal, is to encourage the government and health care policymakers to reconsider the extension of lockdowns and the implementation of curfews and to focus instead on targeted protection based on scientific evidence, in order to improve the health and wellbeing of the population.
It is known that death from COVID-19 is about a thousand-fold higher in older people with multiple comorbidities than the young. Those who are not vulnerable should be allowed to resume life as normally as possible following safe public health measures.
Canada is back! It was one of Justin Trudeauâs rallying calls when his government was first elected in late 2015. While we now know it was an indication of a government long on empty platitudes to come, itâs also something much worse â itâs the very core of a years long vanity project by the current Prime Minister that has come at great cost to Canadaâs relationship with our longtime friend and ally, Israel.
The Trudeau government is consumed with âbeing in the international mainstreamâ at the United Nations. It believes in the inherent âmoralityâ of that international consensus. Some might argue that it is almost immaterial what that consensus is, as long as Trudeauâs Canada is part of it.

Last February, I learned of the development plan for the former Mystic Education Center. Once I grasped the incredible opportunity that this project presented for the economic development of Groton, I reached out to the developer, Respler Homes, to see if they might reserve space for a performing arts space. They invited me to tour the property, and to my amazement, they revealed a little known 322-seat auditorium/theater and mentioned that they would be delighted to keep and renovate the auditorium, but the ultimate decision would rest with the Town of Groton. A subsequent tour, to be co-hosted by Wendy Burry of the Southeastern Connecticut Cultural Coalition was scheduled for March 24, but then COVID-19 happened.
