Sask. plans to send more COVID-19 patients to Ontario
‘Up to 3’ ICU transfers a day are expected early next week, province says
Saskatchewan plans to increase the number of COVID-19 patients it sends to Ontario starting early next week.
The Provincial Emergency Operations Centre (PEOC) is coordinating with the Saskatchewan Health Authority and the Ontario Critical Care Command Centre to send "up to three" patients a day next Monday through Wednesday, the Saskatchewan government said in a Friday afternoon update.
These transfers would add to the six COVID-19 patients moved out east earlier this week, along with the additional three expected over the weekend.
"These plans are continually in motion but they are subject to change and we are committed to providing confirmed information on transfers of the Saskatchewan patients," said Marlo Pritchard, president of the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency and head of the PEOC, during a COVID-19 technical briefing Friday morning.
He noted the number of transfers could change depending on several factors. Those include ICU capacity, aircraft availability, severe weather or other unforeseen events.
Confusion during initial transfers
There was some confusion early on with Saskatchewan's plans to move ICU patients out of the province.
Ontario Health told CBC News on Wednesday morning it was prepared to take at least 12 Saskatchewan patients by week's end — six more than what was initially announced.
However, during a technical briefing later that day, Pritchard would not confirm plans for any more transfers or clarify where Ontario health officials would have gotten that number from.
It came as a surprise to some health-care workers in both provinces, who voiced concerns on social media that Saskatchewan was pulling back on patient transfers.
The next day, the province issued a statement. It outlined that Saskatchewan's ICU capacity is assessed on an hourly basis by medical professionals and other experts.
"The issue of out-of-province transfers is an extremely complicated process which requires a high level of technical consideration, medical oversight and review," the Thursday morning statement read.
The province also added that unverified social media posts should be "disregarded."
The statement never did clarify why Ontario health officials thought they would receive a total of 12 ICU patients from the province by the end of the week.
Former PPC candidate among Sask. ICU transfers
Mark Friesen, the former People's Party of Canada (PPC) candidate for the riding of Saskatoon–Grasswood, was one of the first six intensive care patients in the province sent to Ontario this week, supporters confirmed in a Facebook live Thursday evening.
"You know Mark — he's fighting hard, he's doing great," supporter Tamara Lavoie said during the live stream. "All the updates that we get, he's improving; his oxygen needs are down."
According to Lavoie, Friesen was first hospitalized for pneumonia in Saskatoon about three weeks ago, before getting moved to an ICU at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto Wednesday night.

Last month, Friesen was part of a group that lost a court challenge arguing the province's proof-of-vaccination policy is in violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Throughout the pandemic, he also promoted protests against COVID-19 public health restrictions — including one last December in Saskatoon that ended in a fine against the organizer.
At Friday's technical briefing, the province confirmed the Saskatchewan ICU patients transferred to Ontario had been hospitalized due to COVID-19.

PPC members say Mark Friesen transferred to Ontario hospital with COVID
A prominent member of the People’s Party of Canada says Mark Friesen, a party organizer in Saskatoon who has organized rallies against pandemic measures, has been hospitalized with COVID-19.
Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson was a party candidate in Alberta during the 2019 federal election and former host of The 700 Club Canada, an evangelical television program.
Tyler Thompson now hosts an online video program called “The Last Days” and in an episode posted on Friday, revealed Friesen’s apparent diagnosis.
“Many of you know, Mark got COVID. He is actually intubated at this time,” Tyler Thompson says within the first minute of the video.
Over the course of the pandemic, Friesen has organized rallies protesting public health orders aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19. He has also organized opposition to the use of vaccine mandates.
On the night of the federal election, the PPC held its campaign gathering at a hotel in Saskatoon, choosing the location because the province had not enacted any public health orders like indoor masking.
Unconfirmed reports that Friesen had been diagnosed with COVID-19 have been circulating on social media for weeks. In that time, 980 CJME and 650 CKOM have been contacting Friesen and his family for comment but never received a response.
The province’s health care system has buckled under the weight of the pandemic’s fourth wave, driven by the Delta variant’s sweep through Saskatchewan’s unvaccinated population. As case counts have soared, intensive care units have been overwhelmed to the point that patients are now being sent to Ontario.
Tyler Thompson claims that Friesen was among those patients.
“We pray that this is the place where Mark Friesen is going to get the hand of God powerfully moving in his situation,” she says.
The episode saw Tyler Thompson interview Sean Taylor, another PPC candidate, who ran in British Columbia.
Taylor claimed to be with Friesen, and appeared wearing a mask, plastic face shield and a gown. Friesen did not appear during the video.
Despite Friesen’s apparent condition, neither Taylor nor Tyler Thompson seemed to express much alarm about COVID’s deadly consequences.
Tyler Thompson asked Taylor to weigh in on the level of concern regarding COVID he was seeing in Toronto, a “science-fi horror show” as she described it.
Taylor seemed to respond in derision.
“The mind virus out here. Like, everyone’s masked and face shields and eye shields and it’s just. They’re pretty intense about this stuff out here,” he says.
Meanwhile, in a Facebook group called Saskatchewan Freedom Revolution, which has been a hotbed for pandemic-related conspiracy theories, administrators posted a video asking members for their thoughts, and their donations.
The 13-minute video was hosted by Tamara Lavoie, a known organizer against COVID measures in Regina, and Jody Craven, another PPC candidate in British Columbia. Neither used the word “COVID” to describe Friesen’s condition, instead saying he was hospitalized and transferred because of “pneumonia.”
“Send your prayers. Send some donations. Send your thoughts. Send your wishes. Everything. Anything you guys can think of right, to help out Mark and his family right now,” Craven said.
Just like in Tyler Thompson’s video, Friesen was spoken about in lionized terms, with Lavoie commending him for his relentless organizing.
“Almost two years, three years if you want to count his trips to Ottawa with Yellow Vests before this even started, right? So he’s driven all over this country and would do it again.”

Local realtor asked to resign from NHAR board over attendance at NYE anti-mask rally in B.C.
A local real estate agent has been asked to step down from her role as a director on the Northumberland Hills Association of Realtors.
Jody Ledgerwood attended the Hugs Over Masks Freedom Rally, held on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery on New Year’s Eve.
The local realtor told Rebel News she was already in British Columbia after driving her daughter home after the holidays, and decided to attend the rally after she found it on social media.
In that same interview with Rebel News, Ledgerwood alleges she’s become a target of ‘cancel culture’ after Today’s Northumberland shared a video she had posted to her personal account during the rally.
Here is a link to both the Today’s Northumberland article posted on January 3 – http://todaysnorthumberland.ca/2021/01/03/cobourg-woman-welcomed-in-new-years-with-dozens-of-others-at-outdoor-party-in-vancouver– and the article and interview posted by Rebel News January 12 – https://www.rebelnews.com/small_town_realtor_a_target_for_cancel_culture_after_attending_nye_freedom_rally.
We reached out to both Ledgerwood and the Northumberland Hills Association of Realtors.
Ledgerwood says she doesn’t think it is in her best interest at this time to do an interview with My Broadcasting Corporation.
The Northumberland Hills Association of Realtors has also refused to do an on-the-record interview, but did issue this written statement:
“At this time we will decline from conducting any interviews. Please find our Association’s position regarding Ms. Ledgerwood below:
Both Members of the Northumberland Hills Association of REALTORS® (“NHAR”) and the general public have consistently expressed an interest in real estate transactions being conducted in a manner that respects COVID-19 restrictions. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the NHAR has supported following proper safety precautions to promote the safety of our Members and the general public, and to encourage confidence in the ability to proceed with real estate transactions in a manner that reduces the risks of spreading COVID-19.
Over the past few weeks, we have received complaints from numerous Members of the NHAR and the general public regarding the actions of one of the Directors of our Board who has released multiple videos and statements speaking out against COVID-19 safety precautions. Director positions with the NHAR are volunteer positions in which Directors serve at the pleasure of the Members of the NHAR, and Members have the right to remove Directors from the Board if they wish to do so.
We are not looking to publicly comment on the individual specifically or negatively impact her livelihood. We have not asked her to forfeit her real estate license or to stop working as a REALTOR®, nor do we have the authority to do so. However, given the volume of complaints received, including specific requests for her removal as a Director, we have asked for her resignation from her unpaid volunteer position.”

Cobourg Woman Welcomed In New Years with Dozens of Others At Outdoor Party in Vancouver
Jody Ledgerwood posted a video on Facebook of the event showing what appears to be dozens of people celebrating New Year’s Eve outside the Vancouver Art Gallery in British Columbia.
On her profile Ledgerwood states a former president of the Northumberland Association of Realtors, former Director at Northumberland Players and a local real estate agent.
The event was called the NYE Freedom Rally Dance Party and was held from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. with guest speakers, disc jockey, dancing, kids corner, hot chocolate and more.
Ledgerwood appears at the front of the stage surrounded by people not wearing masks.
“This is how New Year’s should be spent people,” Ledgerwood shouts into the camera while music plays in the background.
“Cheers to a better 2021everybody. Let’s not be afraid of each other. Let’s get out there and start living life.”
Ledgerwood states the party was a anti-lockdown and anti-COVID gathering pleading with people to do their research.
Today’s Northumberland reached out to Ledgerwood for comment, but she declined the interview.
“I do not see that my new year’s activities are locally newsworthy,” she stated.
Today’s Northumberland received two videos of Ledgerwood in British Columbia that she posted from the outdoor New Year’s Eve party.
Since Ledgerwood posted the video she says she has been threatened, sworn at and harassed.
“All they have truly done is proven that our community is divided, discrimination is being applauded and good, kind, caring people are being destroyed because of differing opinions.”
Ledgerwood states several times during the video that it is a “giant crowd” at the celebration.
“Hugs over masks. Choose love over fear. Do your research and live your life.”
“We know what the media is spinning us is lies and fear mongering.”
“My mask is not here – freedom is essential.”
Ledgerwood did ask Today’s Northumberland to include a post from her Facebook on January 3 that stated the following:
“As of December 30, 2020 these are the new numbers for 2020 Covid-19 straight from the Government of Canada’s Public Health Website:
Canada’s Population December 31, 2020 was 37,906,883
Canada Total Cases – 572,982 (1.511% of the population was a positive case)
Canada Total # of People Tested – 13,775,115 (36.339% of the population)
Canada Total Active Cases – 72,927 (0.192% of the population is presently an active case)
Canada Total Deaths – 15,472 (0.040% of our Cdn population has died with Covid and 2.700% of Cdns that tested positive for Covid have died with Covid)
Canada Total Cases Recovered – 484,583 (84.572% of our Covid Cdn Cases have recovered)
Ontario population December 2020 was 14,734,014
Ontario Total Cases – 178,831 (1.213% of our population tested positive)
Ontario Total People Tested – 7,601,237 (51.589% of Ontario had the Covid test)
Ontario Total Active Cases – 20,558 (0.139% of Ontarians are currently an active case)
Ontario Total Deaths – 4,474 (0.030% of Ontarians have died with Covid and 2.501% of the positive cases have died with Covid)
Ontario Total Cases Recovered – 153,799 (86.002% of Ontarians that tested positive have recovered)
There you have it folks…straight from the Government of Canada. People are not dying in mass amounts with Covid and they are not spreading Covid in mass amounts either. So why are we, as generally healthy people, being lockdowned, isolated, ticketed, fined, tasered, refused access, missing family dinners and losing our jobs/income? Why are we being shamed, harassed, threatened and discriminated against? The numbers don’t lie. We need to get back to living life instead of waiting to outrun death. We need to hug eachother instead of hide behind masks. We need to love each other instead of fear each other! And more importantly we need to focus on, strategize, plan and execute on repairing our health care system, long term care system, education system and support our science & medical research facilities! We need to make Canada Great Again! We need to work together as a united team to repair our holes. We need to stop dividing each other. Stop the hate! Stop the fear mongering! Stop the media manipulation and get back to truth, living and loving!”

Update – Unknown if Realtor Has Resigned from Northumberland Hills Association of Realtors
It’s unknown whether a realtor has resigned as a Director of the Northumberland Hills Association of Realtors.
In a story posted by Rebel News on January 12, 2021, local realtor Jody Ledgerwood discussed the feedback, both good and bad, following a story in Today’s Northumberland about her trip to Vancouver for a outdoor New Year’s Eve party.
The event was called the NYE Freedom Rally Dance Party which was held outside the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Ledgerwood posted two videos at the Freedom Rally that she stated was a anti-lockdown and anti-COVID gathering and called on people to do their research.
Shortly after Today’s Northumberland’s story, Rebel News picked up the story and spoke with Ledgerwood.
During the interview Ledgerwood showed a letter sent to her by the Northumberland Hills Real Estate Association calling for her resignation from the Board.
Ledgerwood has been on the Board of Directors and has also been a President of the Board of Directors for the Northumberland Hills Real Estate Association for a number of years.
The letter dated January 6, 2021 stated:
“As you are aware, the Northumberland Hills Association of Realltors has a COVID-19 policy regarding wearing masks in the NHAR office and supports the COVID-19 policies put forth by related organizations such as the Ontario Real Estate Association and the Real Estate Council of Ontario. As a Director of NHAR, you are expected to support these COVID-19 policies.
On New Year’s Even 2020, you posted a public video on your Facebook page speaking out against COVID-19 guidelines and the associated restrictions. While these actions were taken in another province, your Facebook profile page at the time listed you as the Former President of NHAR, the video was publicly accessible to both Members of the NHAR and the general public, and your involvement with the NHAR was directly referenced in the news article by Pete Fisher in Today’s Northumberland.
Since early January 1, 2021 members of the Board of Directors of NHAR have received a number of phone calls, emails, and other correspondence from Members of the NHAR requesting a response from the NHAR, including your removal as a Director. As such, we are formally asking for your resignation from the NHAR’s Board of Directors. Please see the attached Resignation Form and provide us with a response by Friday, January 15, 2021 at 2 p.m.
Directors serve at the pleasure of the Members of NHAR, so if you are unwilling to voluntarily resign, we will be proceeding with a special meeting of the Northumberland Hills Association of Realtors Board of Directors.”
The letter is signed by the President of the NHAR, Erin Brown along with other Directors.
With the passing of January 15, Today’s Northumberland reached out to both Ledgerwood and Brown for comment.
“The Northumberland Hills Association of Realtors will not be commenting further on this issue,” stated Brown in an e-mail.
Today’s Northumberland reached out to Ledgerwood but she has not replied.
Editorial – The Truth Shall Set You Free Holds True for Even The Media
Editorial – As the bible states, the truth shall set you free.
Being a member of the media, it’s understandable to be the target of people when they don’t agree.
Comes with the territory since starting in the business over thirty-years ago.
You have to have a thick skin, as I’ve developed that in more ways than one over the years.
But along with being a target, there are also times, even media should defend themselves when they have been wrongly accused.
The Rotary Harbourfront Rink has been a hot topic in the last 24-hours.
On Tuesday, December 22, 2020 it was vastly overcrowded from the 25 person set limit.
It’s crazy COVID times.
During Christmas break any other year, who wouldn’t love seeing the rink full of people enjoying their free time.
It’s exercise, it’s fresh air and most of all – it’s fun.
But these are different times.
Whether you believe governments are doing the right thing or not is up to you.
It is pretty clear that most people believe what all levels of government are trying to do is for the best of our safety.
Passing by the area yesterday and seeing the people on the ice, it was a story that had to be covered.
The rink is literally in the middle of downtown and one would hope by late afternoon any and all of council would have known about the overcrowding.
It’s a given since the public and leaders in the community knew given the Emergency Control Group had a meeting yesterday.
There were a few shots online towards Today’s Northumberland about how we/I created the issue and publicizing it only made it only worse.
But today at a scene, a person actually accused me of calling the police and putting in a complaint about the rink and we/I were the reason why council acted.
First, we at Today’s Northumberland are humbled that any person would think Today’s Northumberland had the power to get the Emergency Control Group together and also to have an emergency meeting with council to decide what to do with the rink.
It means a great deal that someone would think that much of us.
But, alas, that isn’t the case.
Today’s Northumberland covered a story that was in the public view in downtown Cobourg and would do it again in a heartbeat.
We at Today’s Northumberland are not perfect, and have always said there will be mistakes as hard as we try not to make them.
But, we will also try to be fully accountable to our readers, supporters, advertisers and even people who don’t agree with us.
So, on that note, just to clear the (COVID-free outside fresh) air, Today’s Northumberland wrote to Cobourg Police Chief Paul VandeGraaf to see if he could confirm that no complaint or call was made on behalf of Today’s Northumberland.
Below is the correspondence.
Pete,
I have confirmed with our records. We received the call directly from Municipal By-Law.
I hope this assists.
All the best for the season!

Hi Paul
I’m just wondering if it’s possible if you could send me a note on this.
Yesterday I covered the story on the outdoor rink being overcrowded.
The Emergency Control Group got together and a Council meeting was called and they decided to keep it open under strict rules.
While I was downtown a short time ago today, a person stated that I was the one who called police complaining about the rink being overcrowded and therefore it was my fault what happened.
I explained to him briefly that it wasn’t me, but I honestly don’t think he believed me.
If there anyway, you could just confirm that I did not call to complain on anything to do with the rink?
If possible, if not, absolutely no worries as I know you’re busy.
Thx

Coffee with the Police Chief
On February 19 Police Chief Paul VandeGraaf issued an invitation to have coffee with him at the Dutch Oven on Wednesday evening, March 4. Then on February 20, he issued a statement that “Members of the Cobourg Police Service including Officers, Auxiliary Officers, Special Constables and Volunteers will be present throughout the Downtown core on foot for extra visibility.” (See link below). The Dutch Oven event turned out to be mostly a public Q & A session where Paul (he prefers to be called Paul) explained his view of what’s happening in our Town. His focus was on Downtown (King, Covert, Albert) and the area near Transition House but other concerns were also addressed. The session was scheduled for 5 pm to 7:30 pm and just after 5 there were about 45 people. Although there was free coffee and goodies, few took advantage.
As well as Paul, Auxiliary Police Superintendent Duncan Weller was there as well as Police Board Chair Dean Pepper, Councillor and downtown business owner Adam Bureau and others. Paul confirmed that it was not a coincidence that his statement re more Downtown patrols came at the same time. The downtown patrols will include Uniform officers as well as Auxiliary (volunteer) police. It’s planned to coordinate better with businesses who have CCTV and to have a particular concentration on patrols between 5 and 7:00 pm when shop workers are heading home since now many don’t feel safe.
The format of the evening included one-on-one discussions as well as public Q & A sessions – see photos below.
Key remarks by Chief Paul:
- It’s not an Opioid crisis, it’s an epidemic; it’s primarily a social issue, not criminal, so not primarily managed by police;
- But very often the Police are the “social service of last resort”. Their role is to get help for people and make sure they get connected with the appropriate service.
- Police are overwhelmed and officers are just as tired and frustrated;
- In response to comments that in some cases police did not respond to calls or emails or provide updates. Paul said that “the way you were treated is unacceptable” and there will be changes. He said he was “not happy” and “we have to do better”.
- If a victim does not get a response in 72 hours, they should call the Chief on his cell-phone – 289-251-3476.
- Some in the audience said that although Police responded, they did nothing when told about drug users shooting up or fighting. Paul commented that some amount of fighting between consensual adults is legal and Police cannot convict drug users once the drug has been used – there’s no evidence, it’s in his blood! But he is working with crown attorneys on the issue.
- Homeless people were cleared away from Transition house but moved to the bus shelter. When that was not allowed, they moved to the Victoria Hall Lobby then the Police Lobby. Some even had beer and pizza parties there. But now Chief Paul has insisted that the Lobby may only be used under strict circumstances. These are users who have just been made homeless or who are committed to a Social assistance program. You can’t just decide to live there. As Paul said “we have hardened the Police Lobby”.
- Contrary to stories, although some troublemakers (my words) come from out of town, mostly they are local people.
- The most common complaint was that people don’t feel safe anymore – notably in Downtown areas.
- Police are planning to use e-bikes since they can go where cruisers cannot, are silent and officers can get off them quickly.
- Citizens were concerned about break-ins and car thefts;
- Although recently there has been a definite increase in the level of social disorder, the crime rate has not gone up. In fact the clearance rate is improving.
- Paul asked for a show of hands as to who would like e-reporting. That is, an online way of reporting an incident. Based on the response (I’d guess half those present), Paul said he will implement this idea.
- He also spoke about a heat map showing where crimes occur. The Police already have such a thing but it’s not clear what changes would be made to it. Go here for the current one.
Paul said that he planned to repeat the open house “Coffee with the Chief” every 3 months.

Addendum – March 5, 6:00pm
On the same day as the Chief was conducting the session reported above, at 1:15 pm a 16 year old boy viciously assaulted a 15 year old boy from St. Mary’s high school. The assault took place at the Tim Horton’s located on the Ultramar property on Division Street. The young thug was arrested. (What else can I call him?)
The incident was reported by both Northumberland News and Today’s Northumberland. Get the full story at these links.

Small town realtor a target for cancel culture after attending NYE Freedom Rally
By Tamara UgoliniSmall town realtor a target for cancel culture after attending NYE Freedom Rally
785 Comments
A small town realtor has been on the receiving end of a vicious smear campaign by the cancel culture mob in Northumberland County, Ont.
Jody Ledgerwood is an independent realtor residing in the Town of Cobourg, who has received hateful backlash after she posted a video of herself attending the New Year’s Eve Hugs Over Masks Freedom Rally in Vancouver, B.C.
This witch-hunt comes a mere few weeks after Mayor John Henderson signed the declaration for the Town of Cobourg to join the Coalition of Inclusive Municipalities — an initiative geared towards fostering a welcoming community that supports diversity and inclusivity, while working against racism and discrimination locally. Given the targeted attacks that Jody has received, it sounds like Cobourg sure needs it.
In her professional life, Jody has been a stern follower of COVID-19 protocols as set out by the Northumberland Hills Association of Realtors, where she sits on the board of directors and has previously served as president. In this video, we discuss the respect she has for entering private and personal dwellings during the pandemic, while recognizing that not everyone shares her personal point of view.
Despite this, and in light of what Jody chooses to do in her personal life, the board has asked her to voluntarily resign from their board of directors! Jody has not been given a chance to plead her case, provide any form of feedback, or answer any questions. It’s a bluntly worded type of letter — resign, or else.
If a small town realtor can have her professional reputation summoned to the gallows of cancel culture, is it any wonder that medical professionals are also fearful to speak out against the accepted mainstream narrative?
It takes a lot of integrity to stand up for what you believe in when it goes against the fear porn being pushed out by the state broadcaster, especially when a witch-hunt is what will ensue.
