The cost of electricity is going down in Ontario for at least the next six weeks.<\/p>\n
For the next month and a half, Ontarians will pay off-peak prices for electricity, regardless of the time of day.<\/p>\n
The province said the discount will be automatically applied to hydro bills and there is no application process for customers.<\/p>\n

Why? Walking the dog has become an enviable \u201cget-out-of-jail\u201d card in the country, as almost all other movement in public has been strictly banned. But as you know, dogs need to go outside, and the dogs in Spain seem to be enjoying more walks these days than ever before, as family members quarrel over who gets to leash Rover up next. Some dog owners are even offering to rent theirs out. The subject has sparked a flood of humor on social media, with posts of pups offering themselves at 15 euros a walk, and other dogs supposedly collapsing in exhaustion with captions like: \u201cBut you\u2019ve already taken me out 38 times today\u201d.\u00a0 One man in Northern Spain was caught by police (and on a viral video) dragging a stuffed toy on a leash, and another video shows a man getting ready to \u201cwalk\u201d his daughter, who is disguised as a dalmatian.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n OPRAH\u00a0<\/strong>is making\u00a0STEDMAN<\/strong>\u00a0stay in the guest house because he was away on business until last Thursday.\u00a0 She says he was, quote, “late to the party” in understanding how serious the coronavirus pandemic is.<\/p>\n She told him, quote, “You ain’t coming and sleeping in my bed.\u00a0 Literally . . . he goes, ‘I’m not?’ \u00a0I go, ‘Oh, no no no no. \u00a0It doesn’t work that way. \u00a0Have you not been paying attention to the news?’<\/p>\n They still talk . . . from a distance . . . and she leaves meals on his doorstep.\u00a0 And he’s not upset about his new living arrangement.\u00a0 Oprah says, quote, “He’s happy to make me safe.”<\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0Six years ago this week,\u00a0Dierks Bentley\u00a0was #1 on the\u00a0Billboard Country Airplay<\/em>\u00a0chart with \u201cI Hold On,\u201d a song that he says is very personal to him.

You know, these verses are snippets about my life and just things about me, and it\u2019s kind of a song of self-discovery too, you know. Who am I after all these years? What\u2019s important to me? Why do I do certain things that I do? Why do I hold on to certain things that I hold onto? It\u2019s a little bit of me trying to figure out who I am, and then the choruses, it\u2019s who we are as Americans, as a people, as human beings, I guess.

She adds, \u201c[The] CDC has told us that this virus [breaks down] relatively easily with warm water and with heat.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can also rinse canned goods or items in plastic or glass containers if you\u2019re worried, though it\u2019s not clear that these kinds of objects pose a major threat of contagion. Overall, just be careful if you\u2019re using any kind of chemical cleaning agent on food with semi permeable packaging and make sure you don\u2019t get it into your food in general.<\/p>\n
