Canada is primarily vaccinating people by age. That’s a big mistake
It can fairly be argued that there are not a lot of success stories to tell in Canada’s fight against COVID-19. (Except for Atlantic Canada. Can we put Nova Scotia in charge of the country yet?) It’s mostly been a saga of provinces imposing lockdowns that flatten the curve, and then relaxing them the moment they see an inch of daylight.
Alberta Independence vs. Separation
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has promised a referendum on equalization, but Alberta independence activists say there are more challenges than simply equalization payments that are driving westerners to feel more and more alienated from Canada. Alberta Economic Education Association chairman Danny Hozack says the referendum should be broadened to truly send a message to Ottawa about how Albertans feel about their place in confederation.
Trudeau’s military misconduct response highlights ‘pattern’ of ignoring complaints: Singh
In an interview with The West Block‘s Mercedes Stephenson, Singh said the government’s lack of action in responding to the allegations about high-level appointees sends the message that women’s complaints and safety are not being taken seriously.
Biden’s ‘Go Big’ Agenda Threatens a Lot More Than ‘White Privilege’
Democratically elected governments don’t do revolution. First and foremost, revolution throws up the wrong kinds of people to lead a democracy. Joe Biden has only been captured by the radicals. Imagine if AOC or Bernie Sanders were actually president?
And revolution is no way to usher in a change of any kind. Radical change — to the culture, to the government, or to citizens — is a recipe for perpetual revolution. Mao Zedong understood that concept very well. That’s why he deliberately engineered radical change in China’s provinces, knowing that the continuous revolution would eventually rid the country of all “counterrevolutionaries.”
But that wouldn’t work in America. The U.S. does so much better when change is “evolutionary,” preferably gradual, and ideally, one heart and mind at a time. Incrementalism was the byword of both parties when world events didn’t move at quite the manic pace they move today.
Charles Barkley says politicians ‘divide and conquer’ based on race to ‘keep their grasp on money and power’
Barkley, a former athlete who is an analyst on Inside the NBA, said he finds “most white people and black people are great people,” but politicians benefit by pitting them against one another.
China threatening free speech in Europe
“The current standoff is, in essence, about the future of free speech in Europe. If notoriously feckless European officials fail to stand firm in the face of mounting Chinese pressure, Europeans who dare publicly to criticize the CCP in the future can expect to pay an increasingly high personal cost for doing so.”
