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.

Donald Trump’s White House Puts ‘MAGA’ Spin on Drake’s ‘Iceman’ Album Cover, Faces Backlash

"Gas is 12 trillion dollars a gallon and y'all on here playing around!" one person commented.

The Donald Trump administration is jumping in on the Drake album hype, with the White House sharing an edited version of the rapper’s new Iceman album cover that immediately drew backlash.

The White House shared its own rendering of the Iceman artwork on X on Friday (May 15) — the same day Drake dropped the LP alongside two other surprise albums, Maid of Honour and Habibti. The original cover features a man’s hand in a crystal Michael Jackson-esque glove, but in the White House’s edited version, that same hand holds a chain necklace with a “MAGA” pendant.
