The addition of face masks to the Hooters girl uniform in Barrie provided an image for the times as parts of Ontario reopened sit-down restaurants, hair salons and shopping malls while other parts remain closed.

Tim Hortons sent a message to app users explaining its policy after being questioned about it by James McLeod of the Financial Post.

Jordan Peterson will soon release a new video that explains his current situation while undergoing a new round of drug detox therapy in Belgrade, according to his daughter Mikhalia.

Happy birthday @jordan.b.peterson. I know the last year has been the most difficult year of your life. I also know that you’re going to take the next year by storm. The future is full of opportunity and hope and I’m so fortunate to be able to be there with you to experience it. Thank you for everything you’ve taught me - particularly to not feel sorry for yourself. Happy Birthday! Also... update coming soon 😊

Erin O’Toole’s campaign acknowledged briefly using a U.S. firm to reach members by phone when the available Canadian ones were overflowed by rivals like Peter MacKay.

Yolanda Ballard dead at 87. The longtime companion of Toronto Maple Leafs owner Harold Ballard dominated the headlines when she went to war with his children over the fate of his estate.

Finally, words of the profits

David Marsden, who still broadcasts online 57 years after his first fame as a Toronto radio DJ, is honoured twice in the new animated video for Rush’s “The Spirit of Radio.” The first rendering is Marsden while at CFNY, the station that inspired the song.
