Is Dr. Theresa Tam Incompetent or In Over Her Head?

Failure. Incompetent. In over her head. This is the prevailing view of Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, who continues to draw fire for advice that changes almost as often as the weather. Yes, it’s easy to play Monday-morning quarterback when yours isn’t the head on the chopping bloc, but Dr. Tam made it too easy when she failed to heed her own … [Read more...]

Enhancing Public Safety by Granting Early Release to Criminals?

Ontario released over 2,300 convicted criminals from jail early due to fears over a COVID-19 outbreak in the prison system.
