STUDIN: Ontario’s medical officers of health must resign
Most of the province’s regional medical health officers need to step down before 2022. That’s according to Irvin Studin, author and president of the Institute for 21st Century Questions.

Technically, this is where the fifth-place finisher goes but people love their soaps and the casting shakeup at General Hospital has fans wanting more. Longtime cast member Ingo Rademacher was let go from the show, while Steve Burton is reportedly also out. Both dudes, same reasons: their anti-COVID-vaccine stance. Though it didn’t help Ingo’s cause when he reposted a transphobic tweet.
Who’s next? Word on the street is more actors will be ousted. Dun-dun-duuuuuuun!
