That's pretty good. Time to open up everything and get rid of the mandates.

It’s funny how “the science” crowd don’t believe “the science” now that its not in their favour. Back when Trudeau made the mandates a wedge issue, that wasn’t political. Cases going down like they did every summer, now THAT’S political.

It’s headlines like this that makes me wonder if people realize that the ICU occupancy drops BECAUSE THEIR PATIENTS DIE. 🙄

Don’t worry it will be back in the Fall. Big time. As usual.

Is the ICU occupancy dropping as result of the number of deaths, or because it’s simply not that severe… who knows really… nothing makes logical sense anymore.

Gee, that's a few more than yesterday! We're still losing ~100 per week due to this virus, yet the DF government is all crickets!

Wow thought they stopped reporting Covid shit. Just stop

Wonder if election time has anything to do with it eh...🤔😏

How come there are no statistics for other things that people did from daily Asking for a friend!!

Love the mannequin prop in the background.

Yea right. 'The Ministry of Health says there are 808 COVID-19 patients in hospital...' - fake news. More than half are NOT in the ICU due to COVID-19 - how are they a COVID-19 'patient'?

Have a great Tuesday y'all. Short clip of my kitten from yesterday. To cheer you up from the CP24 Doom & Gloom

How about suicide, addiction, mental health, and poverty?

Perhaps Covid dropping, but this is not what ICU nurses are saying. Nurse/client ratio is dangerous
