Trudeau expected to invoke Emergencies Act to aid convoy blockade response: sources
Justin Trudeau is expected to announce Monday he will invoke emergency powers to support provinces in ending the blockades and public disorder that have gripped Ottawa for 18 days, Global News has confirmed.One national security source and one source that participated in a Monday morning Liberal national caucus meeting said the government is poised to invoke the act and that senior officials are preparing for an imminent announcement.Multiple sources have also told Global News federal officials are weighing options for the military to help law enforcement with logistics. But there is no plan at this time, according to the sources, to have the military help police in dealing with civilians or deploying into the streets.What exactly are the powers coming into play? Let’s take a look.First, a quick history recap: the Emergencies Act is not the War Measures Act.The War Measures Act was the controversial piece of legislation that Trudeau’s father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, used back in 1970 during the October Crisis, which saw a series of terrorist attacks by a Quebec separatist group.The law allowed the federal government to suspend civil liberties, and it was in response to questions over how far Trudeau senior would go in suspending these liberties that he offered the infamous phrase: “Just watch me.”That law, however, was repealed and replaced in 1988.

Valentine’s Day couples told to avoid face to face sex in Thailand due to Covid
Thailand are being warned to avoid certain sex positions on Valentine’s Day as health officials release guidance to stop the spread of Covid.Authorities have suggested couples seeking some action take precautions such as having a test prior to intercourse and even wear a face mask during sex.The guidance has come after a rise in daily Covid cases, prompting fears that Valentine’s Day couplings may add to the spread.Speaking to AFP, Thailand’s Bureau of Reproductive Health director Bunyarit Sukrat said: "Covid isn't a sexually transmitted disease, but catching Covid is possible through close-contact breathing and exchanging saliva.”He brought forward recommendations for couples to take antigen tests before their go on their date night in order to try and prevent the spread.Other advice to stop the spread of Covid was to "avoid face-to-face sex positions and deep kissing", as well as some contraceptive advice being issued to stop unwanted pregnancies.Mr Bunyarit added: “If possible, wearing face masks while having sex can help reduce Covid risks.”Other advisory measures given include using the Covid-19 tracking app to see if the restaurant or other establishment is safe, according to the Bangkok Post.Officials also advised couples to wear masks and maintain social distancing while out on their date and when they return home if they live with others who could be at risk such as elderly and or vulnerable people.

‘Occupancy pressures’ holding back Hamilton hospital from resuming non-urgent procedures
COVID-19-related hospitalizations and intensive care admissions across Ontario are behind the decision to lift Directive 2 – an initiative issued last month ordering hospitals to pause non-urgent and non-emergent surgeries and procedures. Timeline to lift all COVID-19 measures in Ontario coming soon, top doctor says But Hamilton Health Sciences’ president says “occupancy pressures” will hold back the city’s largest network with acute occupancy rates over 100 per cent at two of its major hospitals.“As we continue to face occupancy pressures well over 100 per cent and as high as 120 per cent of some of our sites, like the Juravinski, particularly, Hamilton Health Sciences is not yet in a position to resume business as usual or services on any significant scale,” HHS’s Rob MacIsaac told staff in a town hall.MacIsaac revealed ramp-up plans are proceeding “cautiously and gradually” but said a resumption of the services is not in the cards yet until executives are certain access to urgent and emergent care will not be affected.As of Thursday, combined Hamilton’s hospitals are treating 164 COVID patients – about 60 less than the same day last week.There are 19 patients in intensive care units (ICU), representing 15 less than last Thursday.HHS total adult ICU occupancy rate is at 89 per cent as of Feb.
