While Donald Trump may no longer be the president, it was clear on Thursday night that Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the House select committee investigating January 6, was speaking to that same audience of one. "Doors have opened," Cheney said.

The survey, published on July 20, shows just a quarter of Canadians would now support the reimplementation of a COVID-19 vaccine passport in their province, compared to when support for this measure reached its peak of 70 percent in September 2021. Support for provincial mask mandates dropped from 86 percent in November 2021 to just 51 percent in July 2022, even though nearly three-quarters...
