Party needs to move quickly to replace Erin O’Toole with our next puppet, CPC party president says

Conservatives need to move quickly to replace Erin O’Toole, party president says

Federal Conservatives say they have to move quickly to find a permanent replacement for Erin O’Toole, because the minority government means Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could trigger an early election.

Conservative Party president Robert Batherson said Thursday that an organizing committee, which has not yet been appointed, will make a decision on when to hold an election for a new party leader. The same committee, he said, will determine other rules for the leadership race.

But he noted there are time pressures facing the Official Opposition party. “We know from Justin Trudeau calling an election in a pandemic last year that he can call an election at any time,” Mr. Batherson said.

‘Security experts’ concerned about possible ‘threat financing’ tied to trucker convoy … Now do extorted tax dollars being used to threaten citizens

Canadians ought to be worried about whether crowdfunding websites could be used to finance hate groups and other extremist organizations, financial crime and security experts warn.

As the so-called “freedom convoy” enters its second week of protests in Ottawa, hard questions are being asked about a GoFundMe campaign set up by convoy organizers and whether any of the $10 million raised so far might have come from malevolent sources keen on wreaking havoc in Canada.

What nonsense. I wonder how much money Communist China donates to Trudeau and the LPC?

Ottawa police launch ‘surge and contain’ strategy to contain protesters

Ottawa police say they’ll increase their presence and further restrict access to the city’s downtown to control what’s expected to be another weekend of noisy protests, but they warn the situation remains volatile and dangerous.

In a Friday morning news release, police said the new “surge and contain strategy” means there will immediately be about 150 more officers dedicated to patrolling central Ottawa neighbourhoods and enforcing laws, more heavy barricades to manage traffic and more intelligence work with provincial and national help to lay charges, including against those planning and funding illegal activity.

‘Nobody can say anything’: China cracks down on dissent ahead of Genocide Olympics

Achill is blowing through Chinese civil society as activists, journalists and academics report receiving police warnings and censorship of their social media platforms in recent weeks as Beijing prepares to host the Winter Olympics beginning on Friday.

In mid-January, the Beijing-based human rights activist Hu Jia said in a tweet that China’s state security apparatus was summoning activists around the country to question them and warn them to stay silent.

Johns Hopkins professor blasts own college and the MSM for not publicizing study that found lockdowns only reduced deaths by 0.2% because it doesn’t fit their ‘narrative’

A Johns Hopkins professor slammed his university and the mainstream media for downplaying a study conducted by economists at the university that found that COVID-19 lockdowns only reduced virus deaths by 0.2 percent.

Dr. Martin Makary warned that ‘people may already have their own narrative written’ about the effectiveness of lockdowns in an interview with Tucker Carlson Wednesday night.

Results From a Century-Long Experiment Eviscerate the Case for Climate Change Mandates

The Green Left foments hysteria about supposedly catastrophic consequences if the earth’s current modest warming trend reaches 1.5 degrees Celsius. Preventing the planet from warming to that level, the Green Left insists, requires imposing draconian regulations that would kill economic growth and impoverish millions, especially in the Third World.

Yet since 1920, the planet already has warmed by 1.12 degrees. In other words, the world has conducted a massive experiment over the past 100 years by warming almost the amount that the Green Left so fears. The result of this test disproves the Green Left’s case.

The British Medical Journal Story That Exposed Politicized “Fact-Checking”

The fact-checkers who flagged Paul Thacker’s British Medical Journal article about a Pfizer subcontractor for Facebook admitted they police narrative, not fact

In February of 2010, the New York Times released a front page story entitled, “Research Ties Diabetes Drug to Heart Woes.” The lede read:

Hundreds of people taking Avandia, a controversial diabetes medicine, needlessly suffer heart attacks and heart failure each month, according to confidential government reports that recommend the drug be removed from the market.

The Times piece quoted an internal F.D.A. report that said the GlaxoSmithKline diabetes drug Avandia, also known as Rosiglitazone, was “linked” to 304 deaths in 2009, adding the conclusion of the two doctors who authored the report: “Rosiglitazone should be removed from the market.” The story was released in advance of a Senate Finance Committee study that produced a series of damning internal documents, including one in which an FDA safety officer expressed concern that Avandia presented such serious cardiovascular risks that “the safety of the study itself cannot be assured, and is not acceptable.”

What happens when the elites don’t give a f**k

Is your head ready to explode? Have your friends from the former USSR told you America now feels like the country from which they fled?

Are you asking yourself, repeatedly, what matters in fighting Covid: mask, or no mask, three jabs, or no jabs, in-person education or distance learning, party time, or isolation?

China’s Industry-Takeover Playbook

Once lauded as “a storytelling medium that can…convey American ideals, including free expression itself, to foreign populations around the world,” the American film industry has largely abdicated its role in exporting Western values in hopes of catering to a Chinese market that’s now vanishing. The allure of a billion new moviegoers made kowtowing to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) censors seem like a savvy business move, and short-term paydays made selling out seem worth it. But as China has clamped down on market access once again, Hollywood’s ordeal now serves as a cautionary tale: China has a playbook for taking over industries, and yours could be next.

Why the experts are losing

Their fantasy world can no longer control us

We tend to characterise totalitarianism as a top-down affair, where the state controls the thoughts and actions of its citizenry according to the whims of some politburo. But in the West today, the project of information control and narrative management is not solely the brainchild of the state. Rather, calls to increase censorship come not from the state but from below, with the educated, urban middle classes often organising on their own to help bring this about.

The Thought Police are here

Criticise the trans lobby and you can expect the cops to come round to ‘check your thinking’.

Orwell tropes are overused. I’m guilty of it myself. And yet there are times when only a Nineteen Eighty-Four reference will do. The police questioning of Scottish charity worker Nicola Murray is one of those times. After Ms Murray issued a statement saying that her domestic-violence charity would no longer refer women to the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, because of ‘deeply concerning comments’ made by the trans woman who runs the centre, the police came knocking. ‘We need to speak to you to ascertain what your thinking was behind making your statement’, they told Murray. Police officers visiting a woman’s home and grilling her over her ‘thinking’?

Yep, we need Orwell for this.

Ontario needs to ‘reassess the value’ of COVID-19 vaccine passport system, top doctor says

Ontario needs to “reassess the value” of the COVID-19 vaccine passport system in the coming weeks to decide if it should be ended, the province’s top doctor says.

Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore made the comment on Thursday, saying while the COVID-19 vaccine offers significant protection against severe disease, two doses doesn’t do much to limit the spread of transmission.

“The vaccine isn’t providing significant benefit at two doses against the risk of transmission, as compared to someone unvaccinated,” Moore said. “We have to reassess the value of the passports in the coming weeks and months.”

City must do everything it can to keep possible trucker protest from devolving into situation similar to the one in Ottawa: Tory

Mayor John Tory is expressing concerns that a planned trucker protest against vaccine mandates at Queen’s Park this weekend could restrict access to nearby hospitals and “drive customers away” from businesses that only recently reopened.

A flyer circulating on social media suggests that a “Convoy for Freedom” demonstration will take place at Queen’s Park, beginning at 12 p.m. on Saturday.

While details about the demonstration are limited, organizers are encouraging supporters to gather at one of seven meeting points across the GTA before departing for the legislature.
