Ontario Live Reopens, Vancouver Celebrates With Bryan Adams

By FYI Staff

The Ontario government has lifted capacity restrictions on a range of venues including clubs, stadiums and restaurants with the caveat that proof of vaccination is required.


According to a government news release, “Ontario will slowly and incrementally lift all remaining public health and workplace safety measures, including the provincial requirement for proof of vaccination and wearing of face coverings in indoor public settings, over the next six months. This phased approach will be guided by the ongoing assessment and monitoring of key public health and health care indicators…”

The loosening of restrictions across the country is scattershot, but clubs and larger indoor venues have been operating in a limited fashion in BC and New Brunswick. In Montreal, sports venues are open but clubs are still in lockdown.

MacKenzie Porter Makes Her Solo TV Debut on The Kelly Clarkson Show

Surrounded by flowers and plants and backed by a six-piece band, the Canadian country rising star performed the ballad 'Pay Me Back In Change' from her new sophomore album, 'Nobody's Born With a Broken Heart.'

Canadian singer MacKenzie Porter made her solo TV debut this week, bringing Albertan country music to The Kelly Clarkson Show. (She previously duetted as a featured artist with Dustin Lynch onGood Morning America.)

The rising star performed the broken-hearted ballad "Pay Me Back In Change" in a lush gazebo setting, surrounded by plants and flowers, as well as a six-piece band. The performance shows off her pristine voice, as Porter urges a lover to make good on his debts. "I'm so damn broke on love / you better cough it up," Porter sings, accompanied by a tasteful countermelody on the violin.
