Number of patients in Ont. hospitals with COVID-19 drops below 1,300 today; 33 net new deaths reported

The number of patients in hospital with COVID-19 continues to steadily decline in Ontario, dipping below 1,300 today.

Officials say there are currently 1,281 patients with COVID-19 receiving treatment in hospital, down from 1,829 last Friday. The number of patients in intensive care testing positive for COVID-19 has also dropped to 352, down from 435 seven days ago.

Mandatory vaccination policies for some sectors may no longer be needed, Ontario’s top health official says

The worst of Omicron-fuelled COVID-19 infections in Ontario is “behind us,” the province’s top doctor said on Thursday.

“We reached our peak several weeks ago, and that correlates to a rise in admissions to hospitals, which peaked in the third week of January, and they’ve been coming down ever since,” Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore said.

FUREY: Liberals cite CBC ‘analysis’ to justify freezing bank accounts

The incredible powers that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has given his government to freeze people’s bank accounts is based on their reliance on “analysis” from the CBC.

This is according to a 14-page document the government tabled in the House of Commons Wednesday night detailing the supposed rationale for invoking the Emergencies Act in the first place.

Canadian Civil Liberties Association to sue federal government over Emergencies Act

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) announced Thursday that it plans to sue the federal government over its decision to invoke the Emergencies Act in response to ongoing protests and blockades.

“Emergency powers cannot and must not be normalized,” said CCLA executive director Noa Mendelsohn.

She said use of the act “seriously infringes on the Charter rights of Canadians.”

House of Commons sitting cancelled as police ready action on protesters in Ottawa

OTTAWA — The House of Commons will not sit Friday to debate emergency measures the government has brought in to deal with the protest just outside its doors that is entering its fourth week.

A note from Speaker Anthony Rota says the sitting is cancelled because of a police operation expected to take place by Parliament Hill and other locations around Ottawa’s downtown core.

The note goes on to say that anyone not in the parliamentary precinct should stay away from the core until further notice.

Police set to begin massive operation in Ottawa to remove convoy protesters and trucks

Police are about to undertake one of the largest law enforcement operations in Canadian history to seal off and clear downtown Ottawa of demonstrators and large trucks that have been clogging up the streets for three weeks.

The multi-day operation will start on Friday and involves hundreds of riot police, mounted officers and special obstacle-removal teams to deal with truckers who refuse to leave their rigs, according to a senior source with direct knowledge of the cordon-off-and-clear plan.

Citizens group wins court-ordered freeze of Freedom Convoy accounts, cryptocurrency

Citizens group wins court-ordered freeze of Freedom Convoy accounts, cryptocurrency

OTTAWA—An Ottawa judge has frozen the bank accounts and digital “wallets” of convoy leaders believed to hold more than $1 million in bitcoin and cryptocurrency after an extraordinary secret hearing.

Late Thursday, Ontario Superior Court Justice Calum MacLeod granted an injunction to a private citizens’ effort to stanch the flow of money that was a lifeline for the 21-day occupation of Ottawa.

… Lawyer Paul Champ, acting on behalf of a group of Ottawa residents who have launched a class-action lawsuit for damages caused by the protest, won the injunction during an unusual “ex-parte” hearing, held “in camera” — without public notice or access. The targeted defendants did not receive advance warning, nor did they have an opportunity to get a lawyer to court to contest the claims.

It was a calculated effort to halt the flow of funds after a private investigator and a bitcoin expert hired by Champ flagged that the “Freedom Convoy” organizers were moving cryptocurrency funds out of digital wallets and into new ones faster than the RCMP could keep up, and outpacing the federal government’s efforts to track them, Champ said.

Tamara Lich, convoy organizer, arrested amid ‘major’ push to oust blockade

Tamara Lich, a top organizer for the so-called “Freedom Convoy” blockades in Ottawa’s downtown core, has been arrested in addition to several other arrests Thursday evening.

Convoy spokesperson Dagny Pawlak confirmed the arrest to Global News, calling it a “dark moment” in Canadian history and “a disgrace to any liberal democracy, although not a surprise.”

Lich had said earlier Thursday that she was resigned to the fact she was going to prison, adding her personal bank account had been frozen.

The Canadian truckers’ choice: the easy way, or the hard way

Justin Trudeau, current Prime Minister of Canada, and heir of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, is angry. There are truckers – lots of them – clogging the streets of Ottawa, honking their horns, and revving their engines.

Raised in privilege as a Prime Minister’s son, Mr. Trudeau doesn’t believe that he should have to listen to the people’s voices, let alone their engines.

The Freedom Convoy isn’t what’s ailing Canada. Justin Trudeau is

The “Freedom Convoy” isn’t a Canadian “problem.” The prime minister and Canada’s Laurentian elite are.

The protests have inconvenienced many, but they have exposed what ails the country. It’s governed by a party that won only 32.6 per cent of the popular vote, with a public badly divided among five other parties. The Liberals have dominated politics for decades, backed by the well-heeled establishment in Montreal, Ottawa and Bay Street whose careers, incomes and businesses are linked to the party and who disdain rural and Western Canada. Such attitudes led to Justin Trudeau’s rebuff to the truckers when he pledged that “we won’t give in.”

Justin Trudeau’s phoney dictatorship

Relying on emergency powers reveals his weakness

When Justin Trudeau invoked emergency powers to quell protests against mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations this week, it was another sign that for Western liberal democracy, business as usual is over. This is the first time Canada’s Emergencies Act has ever been called upon by a Prime Minister. Its predecessor, the War Measures Act, was used three times: once for World War One, once for World War Two, and once to deal with a violent campaign of bombing, kidnapping, and murder by Quebecois separatists in 1970.

Fear and Loathing on the ‘Oasis of the Seas’: Cruising in the Era of COVID

In 1959, Frankie Ford implored to his gal, “Be my guest, you got nothin’ to lose; won’t ya let me take you on a sea cruise?” But 63 years later, taking a sea cruise in “these unprecedented times” is fraught with some fascinating challenges. First, in order to sail on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas super-mega-liner, it’s necessary to have a vaccine passport, and to be tested within 48 hours of sailing. So that meant, the day before our flight from Dallas/Fort Worth Airport to Miami, we had to drive 35 miles to be tested at our nearest COVID testing facility, a small hut in the parking lot of the Walgreen’s in Crowley, Texas, population 15,439, preceded by lunch at the funky but tasty Nicky-D’s Family Restaurant nearby.

Is the Canadian Government Starting a Civil War?

Trudeau to protesters: If you don’t let our government make your health decisions, we’re willing to shoot you.

The Premier of Ontario has declared what he calls a “state of emergency” to justify the Canadian government’s removal of the truckers and their trucks from Ottawa.

Others, however, could view his statement to more closely resemble a Declaration of War.

You decide. I urge you to watch the video of the Premier’s statement for yourself.

According to the Premier, each trucker they arrest will face up to one year in prison, have to pay fines up to $100,000 and may likely forfeit their trucks to the Crown!

The truckers’ revolt has exposed the left’s class hatred

Every time working-class people rebel today they are instantly smeared as fascists.

We need new political labels. That much has become clear amid Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau’s crackdown on the truckers’ revolt – the now weeks-long protests by truckers and their supporters, in Ottawa and elsewhere, against Covid vaccine mandates.
