Mohammad Movassaghi leaving provincial court in Vancouver, on April 28.Darryl Dyck/The Canadian Press, via Associated Press Tied to that is an apparent frustration and anger toward people who break or bend the rules. Anti-mask protests that have popped up in many parts of the country, particularly in Alberta, don’t appear to have advanced their cause with the general public and, in some cases, appear to have [also been spreading racist messages](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRib6vWP4QMAWh0dHBzOi8vY2FsZ2FyeWhlcmFsZC5jb20vbmV3cy9sb2NhbC1uZXdzL2NhbGdhcnktY291bmNpbC11bmFuaW1vdXNseS1kZW5vdW5jZXMtcmFjaXN0LXN5bWJvbHMtYXQtYW50aS1tYXNrLXByb3Rlc3Q_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTAmZW1jPWVkaXRfY25kYV8yMDIxMDUwMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zMDA3OSZubD1jYW5hZGEtbGV0dGVyJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD01NzAwOSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYIzWJo1gZnCuyVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). And there’s little obvious sympathy for the 536 air travelers who have been fined 3,000 Canadian dollars each for dodging the mandatory quarantine period in hotels that is required at entry. This week, some of that anger and frustration spilled over into a sentencing hearing in Vancouver. The case involved a man who defied restrictions in British Columbia by turning a penthouse apartment into a makeshift nightclub, complete with topless dancers and a dancing pole. When the police entered on Jan. 31, there were 78 people squeezed inside. “If someone who had been at your party was infected and died, as far as I’m concerned, you’re guilty of manslaughter,” Judge Ellen Gordon of the Provincial Court of British Columbia told the man, Mohammad Movassaghi, [according to the CBC](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRib6vWP0T5aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2JjLmNhL25ld3MvY2FuYWRhL2JyaXRpc2gtY29sdW1iaWEvanVkZ2UtcGVudGhvdXNlLXBhcnR5LWNvdmlkLXNlbnRlbmNpbmctMS42MDA1OTMxP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUwJmVtYz1lZGl0X2NuZGFfMjAyMTA1MDEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MzAwNzkmbmw9Y2FuYWRhLWxldHRlciZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NTcwMDkmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmCM1iaNYGZwrslSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).

He was also fined for breaking liquor laws by running an unlicensed bar. “What you did, sir, is comparable to individuals who sell fentanyl to the individuals on the street who die every day,” she said. “There’s no difference.

There were no evidence presented by the police or by prosecutors that anyone became infected at his makeshift nightclub, let alone died. Even in a city where at least two restaurants have [brazenly broken lockdown restrictions](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRib6vWP0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2JjLmNhL25ld3MvY2FuYWRhL2JyaXRpc2gtY29sdW1iaWEvYmMtY292aWQtMTktcmVzdGF1cmFudHMtMS41OTc1MTgyP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUwJmVtYz1lZGl0X2NuZGFfMjAyMTA1MDEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MzAwNzkmbmw9Y2FuYWRhLWxldHRlciZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NTcwMDkmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmCM1iaNYGZwrslSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) during the pandemic, the actions of Mr. Movassaghi, who pleaded guilty, stood out. The police began receiving complaints about large and loud parties at Mr. Movassaghi’s apartment, even though lockdown rules in British Columbia allowed people to entertain only one other person outside the household. No one, however, would open the door for officers who, among other things, observed one night the delivery of about 100 McDonald’s hamburgers. After they finally obtained a search warrant and got inside, the police found menus for “Granny’s Exotic Bar” listing drinks priced from 26 Canadian dollars to 1,500 dollars for a bottle of liquor. A prosecutor told the court that lap dances were offered for 46 dollars. The police fined people at the party a total of 17,000 dollars as they arrested Mr. Movassaghi. Mr. Movassaghi’s lawyer and brother, Bobby Movassaghi, told the court that it was merely a party that had gotten out of hand after guests brought uninvited friends along.

I don’t have chairs around for people to watch. I don’t charge admission. I don’t charge for liquor. I don’t have point-of-sale devices attached to my cellular telephones.” (Bobby Movassaghi did not respond when asked for comment.) As for Judge Gordon’s move into the realm of the hypothetical, Isabel Grant, a professor at the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia, told me that “it’s very unusual for a judge to comment on liability for a crime that was not before the court.” She said that it might be the result of the prevailing mood of the moment: “The judge is reflecting to some degree the exasperation that everybody feels about controlling other people’s behavior. I think people are feeling very frustrated.” More than 500 air travelers have been fined for avoiding quarantine hotels like this one near Toronto’s airport.Carlos Osorio/Reuters Even if someone died of Covid-19 after an illicit party, Professor Grant said that it was highly unlikely that any host or organizer would be charged with manslaughter, let alone convicted. She said that it would likely be impossible for prosecutors to prove that the victim had contracted the virus during the event rather than somewhere else before or after it. But more broadly, she said that Canada’s history of prosecuting people for spreading H.I.V. through unprotected sex suggests that criminal law is not the best tool for enforcing public health measures. “We saw that disproportionately impacted Black and Indigenous people,” he said. “We’ve now reached a point where people are starting to realize that may have been misguided and that it didn’t do really much of anything to slow the transmission of H.I.V.” Trans Canada Shiitake mushrooms in British Columbia intended to help medical conditions.Alana Paterson for The New York Times - As regulators in Canada and the United States take the first tentative steps toward allowing limited use of psychedelic mushrooms, a company on Vancouver Island is one of the first to produce mind-altering fungi for clinical trials of mild-altering therapies as part of a wider movement called [’Shroom Boom](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRib6vWP0TraHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNC8yNC9idXNpbmVzcy90aGVyZS1pcy1hLWxvdC1vZi1mdW5ndXMtYW1vbmctdXMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MCZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbmRhXzIwMjEwNTAxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTMwMDc5Jm5sPWNhbmFkYS1sZXR0ZXImcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTU3MDA5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpgjNYmjWBmcK7JUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). - During the 1950s, [Clotilda Douglas-Yakimchuk became the first Black graduate of the Nova Scotia Hospital School of Nursing.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRib6vWP0T3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNC8zMC9vYml0dWFyaWVzL2Nsb3RpbGRhLWRvdWdsYXMteWFraW1jaHVrLWRlYWQtY29yb25hdmlydXMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MCZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbmRhXzIwMjEwNTAxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTMwMDc5Jm5sPWNhbmFkYS1sZXR0ZXImcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTU3MDA5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpgjNYmjWBmcK7JUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) She was a nurse for a half-century, mainly in psychiatry.

Flesch reading score

Flesch reading score measures how complex a text is. The lower the score, the more difficult the text is to read. The Flesch readability score uses the average length of your sentences (measured by the number of words) and the average number of syllables per word in an equation to calculate the reading ease. Text with a very high Flesch reading ease score (about 100) is straightforward and easy to read, with short sentences and no words of more than two syllables. Usually, a reading ease score of 60-70 is considered acceptable/normal for web copy.
