Most countries have not initiated any mainstream critical public debate about how Covid-19 was addressed. The governments responsible for the outrageously botched response to the virus have not been held accountable. Communist China, despite having unleashed the virus on the world by deliberately lying about its human-to-human transmissibility, has not suffered a single negative consequence. Nothing has been done either about the duplicitous role played by World Health Organization (WHO), which parroted Chinese Communist Party propaganda about the virus, even after having been informed in writing early on by Taiwan that the virus was highly transmissible.

We won’t let the haters make Zionism a dirty word
To the surprise of almost no one in Canada’s Jewish community, or in police hate crime units, newly released figures show that antisemitism rose dramatically in 2023. According to B’nai Brith Canada’s annual audit of antisemitic incidents, published last week, there were 5,791 documented acts of violence, harassment and vandalism targeting Jews last year. That is more than double the total in 2022.
As if surging antisemitism wasn’t bad enough, adding insult to injury, some non-Jews arrogantly tell Jews what antisemitism is and isn’t. They also earnestly insist their fierce so-called “anti-Zionism” has nothing to do with antisemitism and accuse Jews of trying to shut down criticism of Israel by labelling it antisemitic.
Tolerance for Me, But Not for Thee! ‘Hateful’ Conservative Man on ABC’s ‘Station19’ Needs Rescuing by Gay Liberal Sister
As if ABC’s Station 19 didn’t shove their liberal opinions down our throats enough by championing kids attending over-sexualized gay pride parades and portraying anyone who doesn’t toe the LGBTQ line as hateful bigots, the show decided to revisit last month’s storyline in their latest episode, “Give It All.”
Apparently, Shonda Rhimes hadn’t given it her all in the previous episode, “True Colors,” and she had some more liberal preaching to do. If you remember, in the previous episode, a crowd of angry, white, conservative men (of course) were protesting at a pride parade in which Station 19 was participating, including bi-sexual character Maya Bishop (Danielle Savre) who saw her brother among the men.
Wow am I ever glad I don’t have to watch network TV anymore.
Northvolt should turn Quebec into a major EV player. So why are people so unhappy?
MONTREAL – In late September, Quebec Premier François Legault announced his government had attracted the largest private manufacturing investment in the province’s history, which he said would transform Quebec into a global player in the electric vehicle supply chain.
He lauded it as the “greenest electric battery factory in the world,” but since then, the $7-billion project has managed to anger many across the province — particularly environmentalists.
“Satisfying everyone is an impossibility, but satisfying nobody seems like a pretty mean feat to pull off,” said Moshe Lander, a senior lecturer in economics at Montreal’s Concordia University.

Convoy leader Pat King heads to trial
One of the most polarizing figures to gain notoriety during what became known as the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa more than two years ago will stand trial Monday, signalling the tail end of criminal proceedings that have dogged hundreds of individuals who participated in the historic protest.
Pat King, from Red Deer, Alta., is facing charges of mischief, intimidation, obstructing police, disobeying a court order and other offences for his role in the protest that gridlocked downtown for nearly a month in early 2022.
Yacht sinks after latest incident involving orcas in strait of Gibraltar
An unknown number of orcas have sunk a yacht after ramming it in Moroccan waters in the strait of Gibraltar, Spain’s maritime rescue service has said, in the latest in a series of similar incidents involving the animals.
The vessel, Alboran Cognac, which measured 15 metres (49ft) in length and carried two people, encountered the highly social apex predators, also known as killer whales, at 9am local time on Sunday.
The passengers reported feeling sudden blows to the hull and rudder before boat started taking on water. After alerting the rescue services, a nearby oil tanker took them onboard and transported them to Gibraltar. The yacht was left adrift and eventually sank.
MORGAN: Trudeau has his eyes on your home equity
As national support for the Trudeau Liberals continues to plummet, Trudeau has become more unprincipled than ever while desperation sets in. The term ‘unhinged’ has often been applied to his behaviour and actions lately. Trudeau is hinting at going after the assets of older Canadians in a wealth redistribution scheme that could tear the nation to shreds. It’s becoming undeniable, his eye is turning toward the capital tied up in individual home ownership and he wants a piece of it.

The Man Whose Musings Fuel Elon Musk’s Nightmares
Elon Musk’s bedtime routine is giving him nightmares.
To hear him in public is to catalog a running list of his greatest fears: end-of-the-world type stuff, killer AI threats and, in recent years, the scourge of what he calls the Woke Mind Virus.
“I listen to podcasts about the fall of civilizations to go to sleep,” Musk said this past week during an appearance at the Milken Institute conference. “So perhaps that might be part of the problem.”
One provocateur, in particular, has caught his attention of late: Gad Saad, a marketing professor at Concordia University in Montreal, and author of the book “The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense.”
Saad wants a better immigration policy for his Canada, one that requires a hard look at whether Islamist migrants should be included at all. That’s not a bad thing.
I doubt we would be welcomed in his circles however.
He is on the public record seeking a meeting with Poilievre to discuss immigration policy. If it happens I bet it will be behind closed doors and will not change Poilievre’s approach to mass immigration which when compared to Trudeau’s amounts to “Same, Same, Different.” Poilievre needs to run the same identity politics playbook as Trudeau to get elected. Under normal circumstances I believe Poilievre would lose the upcoming election to Junior. However Trudeau has shot himself in the head with the housing and affordability crisis so all Poilievre has to do is keep his finger off the trigger and speak of immigration in only the most harmless of generalities if at all.
Musk as we know is an opportunist currently riding the populist wave. He is a rent seeker extraordinaire albeit an entertaining one. Do not trust him, what you see is this year’s model.
Michael Cohen Expected to Take Stand in Trump Business Records Trial
Michael Cohen, the prosecution’s “star witness,” is expected to take the stand on Monday in former President Donald Trump’s business records trial in Manhattan.
Cohen was Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, who is expected to testify about his role in alleged crime Trump is being accused of — falsifying business records to influence the 2016 presidential election.
Blame Canada? Justin Trudeau Creates Blueprint For Dystopia In Horrific Speech Bill
On February 21st, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave a press conference in Edmonton, announcing his government’s decision to introduce the Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63. It was described in Canadian media as a “bill to protect kids” that would stop the “exploitation of children,” and Trudeau’s curt speech focused solely on minors. The scarf-clad PM angrily dismissed criticisms the bill might have a broader focus.
Fierce fighting rocks Gaza after US warning of post-war ‘anarchy’
Israel battled Hamas in Gaza on Monday, including in far-southern Rafah, despite US warnings against a full-scale invasion of the crowded city and of the threat of post-war “anarchy” across the Palestinian territory.
Clashes also raged in northern and central Gaza as Israel marked a sombre Memorial Day, which is followed by Independence Day from Monday night, more than seven months into the war sparked by Hamas’s October 7 attack.
Israelis marked a moment’s silence and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that “our war of independence is not over yet. It continues even today… We are determined to win this struggle.”
McGill in court seeking injunction to dismantle pro-Palestinian encampment on campus
MONTREAL – Lawyers for Montreal’s McGill University are in court this morning seeking an injunction to dismantle the pro-Palestinian encampment that has been on its downtown campus since last month.
In a judicial application dated Friday, McGill says the encampment poses a “security, safety and public health risk” and has escalated tensions on campus.
McGill cites “fierce verbal exchanges” between protesters and counter-protesters earlier this month, barrels of possible “human waste” on site, possible fire code breaches and the encampment’s potential as a “magnet” for further clashes with counter-demonstrators.
Germany’s domestic secret service battles far-right AfD
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, or BfV), Germany’s domestic intelligence service, has argued that the populist far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD) is anti-constitutional. It therefore classified the political party as a “suspected case” in 2021.
The party took legal action against this decision at the Cologne Administrative Court, but was unsuccessful. A higher regional court in western Germany has now confirmed that ruling, meaning the AfD may be classified as a “suspected” far-right extremist organization.
The court proceedings have drawn attention to a state organization that acts as an early warning system to detect threats to democracy, and is one of Germany’s most important intelligence agencies. It gathers intelligence while coordinating information gathered by the 16 state-level intelligence agencies.
