What if you went on strike and nobody cared?
Postal workers are learning the hard lesson that their service isn’t as essential to people as they thought it was. With a month on the picket lines, all postal workers have managed to accomplish is to lose public support and speed up Canada’s transition to a paperless society. Postal workers can no longer effectively hold Canadians hostage during the Christmas season. Their strikes no longer cripple the nation, they only irritate it.
If you are one of the nearly 19 million working Canadians expecting to receive a $250 cheque from the Liberal government in the new year, don’t spend the money just yet.
Sources have told National Post that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will reverse the government’s position on the “Working Canadians Rebate” that would have cost an estimated $4.68 billion.

Supposedly you lose 12 minutes of life every time you drink a soda and 24 minutes if you eat a hot dog. And of course the media report it as if it were true with no questions asked.
Google’s quantum computing breakthrough on Monday has left the physicist who heads the project a believer in ‘the idea that we live in a multiverse.’
‘Willow,’ the tech giant’s new quantum chip, succeeded in solving a computational problem so complex it would have taken today’s best super-computers an estimated 10 septillion years to solve it — vastly more than the age of our entire universe.
But Google said its new quantum computer solved the puzzle ‘in under five minutes.’
’Tis the season to be jolly! Most of us are currently feeling joy because Christmas is around the corner. But if your name is Taylor Lorenz, it’s because a man was shot dead in broad daylight.
DNA in Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccines is three-to-four times higher than regulatory limits according to a German study that called for the shots to be stopped.
The peer-reviewed study published in Science, Public Health Policy and the Law, explains, “This far exceeds the maximal acceptable concentration of 10 ng per clinical dose that has been set by international regulatory authorities.”

War is of its nature an uncertain business. Only in retrospect does Assad’s fall, so improbable last week, now look fated. It is ironic, given the opprobrium with which Arab normalisation with his regime was greeted by pro-rebel advocates, that that same normalisation may have helped spell his doom. Seeking to reintegrate himself into the Arab fold, Assad allowed relations to cool with the Iran-centred Resistance Axis which had ensured his survival a decade ago. Yemen’s Houthis have accused Assad of clamping down on their activities in Syria to win Israeli and Gulf Arab favour; Iran now briefs that Assad was an ungrateful and undependable ally in their conflict with Israel; Hezbollah, smarting at Assad’s standoffish response to their recent setbacks, swiftly abandoned a last-minute attempt to preserve his rule.
The Asif William Rahman case reveals that no matter how outwardly assimilated a devout Muslim may appear, their ultimate allegiance to Islamic Sharia and the global ummah undermines the U.S. Constitution, making their presence in America’s most sensitive institutions a dangerous threat to national security.
Former Kentucky swimmer and vocal anti-trans activist Riley Gaines has torn into the Scripps National Spelling Bee for what she sees as a surrender to ‘fabricated issues’ in gender politics.
Gaines expressed outrage after it was revealed that the competition’s study list for third graders included the word ‘womyn’ as an alternative spelling for the word ‘women.’
The word ‘womyn,’ a spelling that originated in feminist movements as an effort to distance the term from its perceived association with the word ‘man.’
Ten years after a deadly attack on its office that shocked France, Charlie Hebdo magazine is marking the anniversary with a cartoon contest mocking God.
The satirical weekly was targeted by two Islamic extremists on January 7, 2014, who gunned down eight members of staff including some of the country’s most famous cartoonists inside its premises in central Paris.
It seems a long time ago now that Conservative leadership contender Kellie Leitch was lambasted by politicians of all stripes for proposing to screen prospective immigrants for “anti-Canadian values.”
Leitch’s policy was based on her belief that there was such thing as a unified Canadian identity, including “equality of opportunity, hard work, giving back to the community, equality of men and women, as well tolerance for all religions, cultures, and sexual orientations, and the rejection of violence as a way to solve problems.”

Right from the beginning, experts have told the prime minister that his gun ban and buyback will divert resources away from fighting crime rather than making Canada safer.
Instead of changing course, the Trudeau government announced it’s diverting even more taxpayers’ money to its failing gun policy policy.
And it’s an expensive diversion.
OTTAWA — Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s fiscal update will face close scrutiny Monday, with financial markets and political observers watching to see if she can stick to her promises while attempting to reverse the Liberals’ political decline.
Freeland will table the fiscal update at 4 p.m. Monday, coming to the table late with a fall economic statement delivered less than a week before winter officially arrives.
