Move over “anti-vaxxer mobs” with “unacceptable views.”
Meet the “flat Earthers.”

An influential US medical panel is warning about the dangers of a rapidly spreading deadly fungus — just a week after the hit zombie show The Last of Us wrapped up.
The American College of Physicians (ACAP) said the rise and spread of antibiotic-resistant cases of Candida auris, also known as C auris, is ‘particularly concerning’.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) already described the fungus, which kills up to 60 percent of people it infects, as an ‘urgent threat’ in 2019.
OTTAWA — All eyes will be on New Democrats on Tuesday as they decide whether they will support the Conservatives’ motion to compel the prime minister’s chief of staff to testify on alleged Chinese interference in past elections.
When Premier Doug Ford’s government tables its new budget on Thursday, expect to see more than $6 billion devoted to subsidizing hydro bills.
Although previous Liberal governments also spent taxpayer money on lowering electricity prices, Ford’s Progressive Conservatives have taken it to such a level that it is now one of the single biggest line items in the Ontario budget.
The 2022-23 provincial budget earmarked $6.3 billion for “electricity cost-relief programs,” nearly four times as much as the $1.6 billion Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals budgeted for such programs in 2018.
Xi Jinping said China was ready with Russia “to stand guard over the world order based on international law” as he arrived for a state visit to Moscow that comes days after Vladimir Putin was made the subject of an arrest warrant by the international criminal court.
The Chinese leader is expected to position himself as a potential peacemaker in the Ukraine war during his two-day visit to Russia – his first state visit since Putin’s invasion. For his part, the Russian president will be hoping to project unity in the face of western isolation, as the US condemned Xi for providing “diplomatic cover” for Moscow to continue to commit further crimes in Ukraine.

Rather than change their tactics, progressives change the language — as they’ve done so many times before.
We find ourselves in the middle of an exhaustingly familiar spectacle in which the American Left and its allies in media pretend that a word with an all but universally understood definition is all of a sudden incomprehensible. Today, that word is “woke.”
She doesn’t have the flowing locks, soaring voice, or radiant smile of Vera Lynn. But for Russian “turbo-patriots” who cheer Putin’s war with Ukraine, there’s a modern forces’ sweetheart every bit as inspiring: Yulia Chicherina.
Her dark, short-cropped curls often encased in a black balaclava, her guitar strung over military fatigues, she performs her self-penned songs to troops in draughty halls in occupied Ukrainian towns and forest clearings behind the trenches.
Progressives generally do not understand irony. The deeper the mental and emotional commitment to an ideology that defies nature and common sense, the less likely the individual is to have any self-awareness or appreciation of how ridiculous he or she or zi looks.
There’s no vital U.S. interest served by this indefinite advise-and-assist mission in the region.
Two decades ago, the war in Iraq began. The regime change mission was “accomplished” in a matter of weeks. Then, after that initial steroid high wore off, the limits of American military might started to show.
The U.S. occupation produced one tragic debacle after another. Public judgment of the war’s proponents moved from “convincing” to “mistaken” to “deceptive” to “deplorable.” Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died, and millions more endured needless suffering. Baghdad did not emerge as a shining city on a hill. Once enthusiastic about the invasion, the American people first stopped delighting in the project and then, unless forced to attention by some discrete new horror like the rise of the Islamic State (IS) group, stopped looking at all.
The American pilot felt his aircraft wobble in the sky near the coast of West Sussex, England, where the beach gleamed below him, and the emerald meadow pastures lay ahead on June 22, 1944.
He and nine other crew members aboard a B-24 Liberator had just been jolted by a shell from a German antiaircraft gun that tore through the plane’s metal, forcing the pilot, First Lt. William B. Montgomery, into a dire situation as he tried to fly from Paris back to base camp in Britain.
OTTAWA – Liberal House leader Mark Holland isn’t ruling out turning a Conservative motion on foreign interference into a confidence vote that could topple the government and would test the strength of the supply-and-confidence deal between the Liberals and the NDP.
The Conservatives tabled the motion in the House of Commons Monday demanding that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s chief of staff, Katie Telford, appear at the House ethics committee before the middle of April. They want her, along with more than a dozen other witnesses, to answer questions about allegations that the Chinese government interfered in Canada’s last two federal elections.
Sure they will.
From football to NASCAR, every sport is now a platform for relentless propaganda.
For the best part of two weeks, the spat between football pundit Gary Lineker and the BBC dominated the news agenda. Despite Lineker’s refusal to apologise for potentially breaching BBC impartiality rules in his attack on the government’s immigration policy, the BBC bent over backwards to keep him employed. Supported by other celebrity football commentators, Lineker demonstrated that he possessed far more cultural power than his employer. And so, to much acclaim from the woke elites, he has been reinstated as host of Match of the Day.
Attendees will gather to mourn the end of ‘public health’
Today, at 4:30 Pacific Time, a group calling itself Mask Bloc will gather in the courthouse square in Portland, Oregon dressed in black, with masks, to mourn the official end of mask requirements in healthcare settings in Oregon.
Mask Bloc’s tweets are now protected, but the gathering invited protesters to “”Wear funeral black, wear your mask, bring signs” to lament “the end of infection control in OR”. It’s billed as a “funeral” for “public health”.
Muslim Council of Britain condemns ‘wanton act of incitement’ after Rasmus Paludan responds to incident at Kettlethorpe High School
A far-Right Danish politician is threatening to burn a Koran in Wakefield after a schoolboy received death threats when a copy of the holy book was dropped.
Rasmus Paludan, the extremist leader of Danish political party Stram Kurs (Hard Line), has become known for holding events where he burns copies of the Koran, some of which have led to violent counter-protests.
However, in his latest stunt, he published a video on Twitter announcing that he is planning to burn a copy of the Islamic holy book in Wakefield, West Yorkshire this week to coincide with Ramadan. He claims he is doing this to ensure “undemocratic forces” in the city “understand and respect democracy”.
There is nothing “extremist” about torching a Koran, the extremists are the ones trying to prevent you from doing so.
Canada will take a ‘hard long look’ at UN call to speed emissions reduction: minister
OTTAWA – Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says Canada will take a “hard long look” at a call from global climate scientists to hit its long-term greenhouse gas emissions targets 10 years earlier than planned.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued the call in a new report Monday warning the world is teetering dangerously close to missing its critical targets to keep global warming in check.
The science all points to one incontrovertible fact: humanity continues to warm our planet to dangerous levels.
I thank @IPCC_CH contributors for their important work. We must continue to implement strong and bold climate policy. pic.twitter.com/tXUQxuJBwz— Steven Guilbeault (@s_guilbeault) March 20, 2023
Scientists deliver ‘final warning’ on climate crisis: act now or it’s too late
IPCC report says only swift and drastic action can avert irrevocable damage to world
Scientists have delivered a “final warning” on the climate crisis, as rising greenhouse gas emissions push the world to the brink of irrevocable damage that only swift and drastic action can avert.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), made up of the world’s leading climate scientists, set out the final part of its mammoth sixth assessment report on Monday.
The comprehensive review of human knowledge of the climate crisis took hundreds of scientists eight years to compile and runs to thousands of pages, but boiled down to one message: act now, or it will be too late.
