Unsurprisingly with the arrival of Omicron, Covid is in the headlines once again. But amid the media panic and the catastrophising, many Covid pundits are failing to appreciate a shift in the public mood. According to new research, there is mounting of Covid fatigue in the general public.

Taboo Truths about the Covid Vaccine

Heart attacks skyrocket – and ICUs are overwhelmed from coast to coast.
The COVID-19 vaccines appear to be causing a global health disaster. There are so many warnings from all around the world. I’ll list just a few in this column. But the U.S. media remains silent. They’re as quiet as a church mouse. Why?
Japan’s Ministry of Health just announced that “the Moderna and Pfizer Covid vaccines could cause heart-related side effects in younger males.” Health experts in Japan have witnessed skyrocketing rates of myocarditis and pericarditis in young men and teenagers. And they’ve seen the same nonstop heart issues with middle-aged and older individuals.
Why Is the Left Suddenly Worried About the End of Democracy?

What is behind recent pessimistic appraisals of democracy’s future, from Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Brian Williams and other elite intellectuals, media personalities, and politicians on the Left? Some are warning about its possible erosion in 2024. Others predict democracy’s downturn as early 2022, with scary scenarios of “autocracy” and Trump “coups.”
To answer that question, understand first what is not behind these shrill forecasts.
Canada makes ‘a start’ in cleaning up its money-laundering mess

“… Last month, a local investigation by an independent media organization called Coastal Front revealed that a freedom-of-information request it filed a year earlier had obliged the City of Vancouver to disgorge 750 pages of documents showing that between 2012 and January of this year, city officials had accepted nearly 2,000 payments totalling $13.1 million for everything from property tax payments to municipal cemetery plots — all in stacks of cash.”
University of Minnesota’s ‘Antiracism and Healthy Equity Center’ claims ‘birthing people’ are at higher risk of premature deliveries in over-policed neighborhoods

A University of Minnesota scholar has raised eyebrows with her study into how policing affects ‘birthing people’ in different parts of Minneapolis.
Rachel Hardeman, director of the Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity at the university, published her findings on December 8 in the medical journal JAMA.
Hardeman found that all mothers living in intensely-policed parts of Minneapolis were significantly more likely to give birth prematurely – defined as birth before 37 weeks of gestation.
Ohio police ask for help finding thieves who stole entire bridge

AKRON, Ohio (WJW) — Akron police have investigated the theft of all kinds of valuables over the years, but for the first time in anyone’s memory, detectives are trying to find out who stole a bridge.
At one time, the pedestrian bridge was along the Little Cuyahoga River in Middlebury Run Park, which sits in the shadow of Goodyear World Headquarters on Akron’s East End.
Salvation Army ditched by donors and volunteers after disastrous release of anti-white ‘anti-racism’ guide

Salvation Army chapters across the country are reporting massive shortages in volunteer hours and toy donations just weeks after the charity distributed (and then pulled) a controversial guide calling on white people to confront their “racist attitudes.”
Some 20,000 volunteer hours have gone unfilled for the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign this year, which historically represents about 33% of the charity’s total yearly donations. The charity has also reported substantial shortages of toy and gift donations in some parts of the country, such as New Jersey, where donations are down 30% across the state.
WTF?
Before I left Yorkdale Mall, I decided to walk the entire length of the line for #COVID rapid tests. It took three minutes to walk from the back to the front (at a very brisk pace).

GOLDSTEIN: Let’s stop pretending Trudeau’s deficit projections are real

Given the financial record of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government, does anyone, including the Trudeau government, seriously believe its deficit projections anymore?
If not, then why does Trudeau keep pretending to make them and why do we keep pretending to believe them? It’s a form of political insanity — doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.
The Anti-Defamation League Is Now a Tool of the Anti-Semitic Left

If there was ever a doubt in recent years, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is now not only dead, it is beyond resuscitation. The final nail in the coffin came in the form of an email to Jewish leaders on December 14 from Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL’s CEO and national director, in which he proudly wrote about ADL’s involvement as pro bono counsel in filing a lawsuit against individuals and organizations “for their role in coordinating an act of domestic terrorism against our democracy on January 6.”
Rex Murphy: How are Alberta and Quebec treated differently? Let me count the ways

As a public service I have herein drawn up a concise — some might even say terse — table of the most explicit contrasts between Alberta and Quebec.
There is nothing new here, but as an aid to easy reference and quick digestion it is my hope it will prove of some utility.
All the rest of Canada you mean.

Wuhan lab leak ‘is now the most likely origin of Covid because Beijing tried to cover it up’ and it is ‘reasonable to believe virus was engineered in China’, Harvard scientist tells MPs

The Wuhan lab leak is now the most likely origin of the coronavirus pandemic because Beijing tried to cover it up, MPs were told today.
Harvard scientist Dr Alina Chan told the Science and Technology Select Committee that it is ‘reasonable’ to believe that Covid was genetically engineered in China.
She also said that the Chinese Communist Party’s cover-up of the initial outbreak in Wuhan two years ago and attempts to sabotage the World Health Organisation’s inquiry into the origins of the pandemic made the lab-leak theory likely.
Lithuania Stands Up to China: Europe Should Too

China has blocked all imports from Lithuania and has ordered multinational companies to sever ties with the Baltic country or face being shut out of the Chinese market.
The extraordinary sanctions, which amount to a full economic boycott of Lithuania, are in retaliation for the country’s decision to allow Taiwan to open a representative office in its capital, Vilnius.
Taiwan has other offices in Europe and the United States, but they use the name of its capital city, Taipei, due to the host countries’ preference to avoid any semblance of treating Taiwan as a separate country. Beijing insists that the democratically self-ruled island is a part of the territory of the communist People’s Republic of China and has no right to the trappings of a state.
