Keep in mind this is an "opinion" piece, but some good talking points.

In Ontario, 1,308 cases for 0-11-year-olds in the past week, as compared to 1,037 in the prior week. That's now about 40% of the total new cases.

There may not be a lot of hospitalizations (though I don't know where to find the data) but the case counts for the kids are certainly increasing.
That article is pretty ridiculous...very high on the rhetorical flourishes, and pretty low on the data. Honestly, the author just embarasses himself, the COVID 19 restrictions have not been "burdensome" in almost a year...unless you are the kind of freedumb extremist who believes wearing a mask is burdensome.
It includes links to the data though...which shows that there are indeed children hospitalized with COVID-19 right now...
