Bruce Arthur: Toronto hospital protests: Don’t discount the dangers from a sad and lonely bunch

Honestly, I didn't expect it to be so sad. Dispiriting, sure: a protest outside a hospital, 18 months into a pandemic, as burned-out health-care workers stared down at people who statistically may be the most likely to end up inside a hospital with COVID-19. There had been vows online to block ambulances, and even isolated threats of guns from some People's Party of Canada supporters. There is a virus in this country, beyond the obvious one.
