The federal government announced the opening of the border to fully-vaccinated Americans on August 9, while holding off on other countries until September 7, arguing that the intervening weeks will allow for protocols at the border to be streamlined.
Good luck with that. Have federal officials observed what is actually going on at the border now?
Prince Harry harbours ‘Prince Andrew complex’ and fears he has ‘limited shelf-life’ before public become more interested in ‘Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’, friend claims
Prince Harry harbours a ‘Prince Andrew complex’ and fears he has a ‘limited shelf-life’ before the public become ‘more interested in Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’, a friend of the royal has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex, 36, who is currently living in his $14 million mansion in Santa Barbara, has given a series of explosive interviews since he stepped back from royal duty last year.
A friend has said he ‘always been in such a rush to make an impact’ before he begins to slip down the pecking order in the royal family.
The politicians, corporation executives, media personalities and activists who are trying to move the United States toward Globalism and Democratic Socialism are heartless careerists and power hungry con artists. they are selling collectivism. Call it what you like, social justice, anti-fascism or woke, all forms of collectivism are just suave modern cousins to murderous Communism (Maoism, Stalinism, Khmer Rouge, North Korea’s Kim family), brutal Socialism (Nazism, Mussolini) and blood- thirsty Islamofascism.
History shows the dangers of suppressing scientific debate—but social media platforms, using public health as a justification, are eroding free speech.
There is a growing tendency toward censorship in the United States, made worse by the Covid-19 pandemic. It must be opposed vigorously, as it is a slippery slope indeed. Once people have the power (and it is an awesome one) to decide what is truth and what is not, they will never willingly give it up. As that great political scientist, James Madison, explained, “Men love power.”
Cathy Jones is off CBC’s 22 Minutes after 28 years
… Though Jones is not at liberty to discuss the details of her departure, she denies rumours that she was fired because of political differences or a refusal to comply with COVID-19 protocols. While the comedian is vocally against both masks and vaccines, she states that her relationship with 22 Minutes and its production company remains positive.
The CBC aficionados of Twitter had a Two Minute Hate on her.
In a breathtaking act of arrogance, hubris and tone-deafness, the United Nations is insisting on going live with its annual global warming gabfest from Oct. 31 to Nov. 12 this year.
That means up to 30,000 people from 200 countries will pour into Glasgow, Scotland this fall, including more than 100 heads of state and thousands of government and UN bureaucrats there on the public’s dime.
With more than 300 active fires and thousands under evacuation orders, B.C. is currently on the fast track to the most destructive wildfire season in its history.
Although the fires have become an emblem around the world of the destructive effects of climate change, many of the province’s forestry experts are pointing out that while climate change makes fires more likely, it’s poor forestry management that is helping to make them more destructive.
No word on arson?
Never mind that the very term “Islamophobia” is used to silence all legitimate criticism of Islam. Such criticism is said to be based on an “irrational hatred” (a phobia) of Islam and of Muslims, but many of us believe that anyone who studies both the text of the Qur’an, and the observable behavior of Muslims toward non-Muslims both now, and during the past 1400 years, has good grounds for alarm about the Muslims in our midst.

The world’s most famous medical journal, The Lancet, sat on vital information being suppressed by China proving that the Covid virus could jump from human to human and was spreading outside of Wuhan in the early days of the pandemic.
Its editors also failed to share critical evidence – given to them by brave Chinese scientists trying to alert the world to the danger of the new disease – that showed the new coronavirus could be spread by people who were not displaying symptoms.
The revelation has emerged in a new book by Sir Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust.
In Dante’s “Divine Comedy,” according to a feature published Thursday in the British Catholic weekly The Tablet, “the Prophet Muhammad, along with four popes, is pictured suffering the torments of Hell.” However, as far as The Tablet is concerned, the big news in this 700-year-old literary masterpiece is not that, but a “less well-known” aspect of the epic poem: “how much Dante’s masterpiece owes to the vibrant culture of early medieval Islam.” Well, of course. All over what used to be known as Christendom, the best and the brightest are eagerly twisting themselves into all sorts of knots in order to argue that Islam has always been a part of the West, and not as a historic adversary, either, but as an integral element of Western culture. Why shouldn’t The Tablet join the party?
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — The United States is in an “unnecessary predicament” of soaring COVID-19 cases fueled by unvaccinated Americans and the virulent delta variant, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert said Sunday.
“We’re going in the wrong direction,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, describing himself as “very frustrated.”
He said recommending that the vaccinated wear masks is “under active consideration” by the government’s leading public health officials. Also, booster shots may be suggested for people with suppressed immune systems who have been vaccinated, Fauci said.
All across the country, Canadians are returning to some semblance of normal. Adults are hanging out again and returning to the workplace; children’s activities have resumed and in several provinces COVID-19 restrictions and mask rules are gone.
Easier said than done, it remains to be seen if the fall brings a resurgence and our politicos decide to lock us down again. Let’s hope the vaccines work.
Kidnappers in Nigeria have seized a man who was sent to deliver a ransom payment to secure the release of dozens of abducted school children.
The elderly man was sent by the children’s parents after they managed to raise 30m naira ($73,000; £53,000) by selling land and other possessions.
But they have been left feeling hopeless following his kidnapping.
The north of the country is in the midst of a wave of school abductions carried out by criminals for profit.
Sunday July 11. Demonstrations erupt in the main cities of Cuba. Tens of thousands of people take to the streets. They know they risk being brutally arrested, sent to jail, possibly tortured and killed by the police. They reject the communist dictatorship that has oppressed them for 62 years. They shout “Libertad”: freedom. They hold up Cuban and American flags — once again, the symbol of people who yearn to breathe freely.
Those who dream of communism for the Western world first kept silent, then, while making a few criticisms of the dictatorship in Cuba, blamed it on an American embargo. They failed to point out that if the Cuban dictators cannot trade with the United States, they still can trade with the rest of the world; and also failed to point out that Cuba has nothing to sell: its leaders have destroyed the country’s economy.
Governments in Western Europe have made no comment to date; they seem to prefer avoiding the subject.
