1. Authoritarianism not going well in Ontario. The powerful owe it to the weak

to protect them from bad men. Good on the U of Toronto History Department. Doug Ford tried to impose draconian policing powers to pull anyone over in their cars while not closing down manufacturing. The police refused to act on that. Ford backtracked. But he still has manufacturing going while people have no extra sick leave if they get covid. No doubt he's being schooled in bringing authoritarianism to Ontario as he is a populist and gets advice from the US. His numbers already tanked the last time he tried authoritarian policy and practices. Then his numbers went up when he worked well with Trudeau on the first two shut downs. Now this last wave he has gone full on 'spread the virus' and his numbers have tanked again.
