Only open to the "general" population for after October 30th though. High-risk groups only 'til then.

It is worth noting that Shoppers Drug Mart does not tell you this when you do a booking. I made a booking for last week blissfully unaware and was told to come back after the 30th.
Yes, I made an appointment for early November

Indeed. I double checked this when getting my fifth Covid shot (and flu shot) at Rexall last week.

Got my first Covid shot today in a year and a half. Also got the flu shot at the same time. 6 hours later and aside from a tiny bit of soreness in both arms, I feel fine, if a bit tired, though I'm not sure if that's related to the shots or not.
Initially I wasn't going to bother with another shot because I'm just SO OVER COVID and barely even think about it anymore, but since I booked my mom to get one, I figured what the hell, since I'm there I guess I'll just get one too.

The Elementary Teachers and the province have a tentative deal (subject to ratification) with wages to be determined in arbitration.
In an article about that deal, The Star highlights how far behind students are that received virtual, rather than in person learning.

From the above:
That's an enormous gap; what a profound loss. That's so hard to make up.

Here’s what’s in the tentative deal between the Ford government and Ontario’s elementary school teachers
A copy of the agreement, which still needs to be ratified, was obtained by the Star.

it seems we are in a bit of a summer surge. I was in Vancouver a couple weeks ago for a wedding. People got sick with COVID after the wedding. My boyfriend included. Thankfully it was mild for him. But one guest ended up in the hospital. I had a dinner party cancelled this weekend in Toronto.. As the host and her wife both tested positive for COVID.

If people have mild symptoms of sickness, why would they still bother to test for covid? If you feel sick, just stay home, no matter what illness it is.

Hubris, ignorance and lack of paid sick days are unfortunately still a thing.

Got my Moderna and general flu shots today at Rexall. Apparently the new Moderna covid vaccine targets the KP.2 variant. Interestingly, the new Novovax vaccine targets instead the JN.1 variant. I wonder why the difference?
This chart below makes no mention of the KP.2 variant at all. What's up there?

Probably based on when they decided to make the vaccine. Lead times may be different for the two different vaccines technologies.
