‘We’re not gonna have a split society’: Ontario Premier Doug Ford rules out a provincial ‘vaccine passport’

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in the strongest terms yet Thursday that the province will not create a vaccine passport that would allow people to signal to businesses and other organizations that they have been vaccinated.

“The answer is no, we’re not gonna do it. We’re not gonna have a split society,” Ford told reporters in response to a question about creating vaccine passports Thursday at the first press conference he has held in some time.

The Ontario government is suggesting you hold on to your COVID-19 vaccine receipt.

You may be asking, wait, what receipt? It’s understandable if you were so excited after getting your second shot that you forgot to meticulously file away the piece of paper you should have received that confirmed you’re double dosed, along with other personal information and details about the vaccine itself.

Now, with some businesses saying they’ll be asking potential customers to prove their vaccination status for entry, that little piece of paper suddenly seems much more important.

Luckily I found mine in the car the other day.

The Dreaded Misery Index Is On The Rise Under Biden

Young adults today are likely unfamiliar with the term “misery index.” But they could soon learn about it the hard way, thanks to President Joe Biden’s economic incompetence.

The misery index, a measure started under President Lyndon Johnson, is a simple measure combining the unemployment rate and the inflation rate. The idea being that joblessness and a fast-rising cost of living produces palpable misery in the country.

Anthropologist explains how she concluded 200 children were buried at the Kamloops Residential School

Anthropologist explains how she concluded 200 children were buried at the Kamloops Residential School

… She also stressed her findings can’t be confirmed unless excavations are done at the scene.

“Which is why we need to pull back a little bit and say that they are ‘probable burials,’ they are ‘targets of interest,’ for sure,” said Dr. Beaulieu, who has about a decade of experience searching for historic grave sites, including working with the RCMP and other First Nations communities. She said the sites “have multiple signatures that present like burials,” but that “we do need to say that they are probable, until one excavates.”

In other words no one knows for sure until daylighting, there are no “mass graves” and the plots were never “secret” but sadly just forgotten with the deaths occurring naturally over many years, but let’s run with the genocide thing anyway.

The word for it is ‘propaganda’: Wikipedia co-founder says website has morphed into playground for rich and powerful manipulators

Wikipedia fails to reflect relevant viewpoints on hot-button topics and describes center-left establishment worldviews, its co-founder Larry Sanger said. This consensus reality is prone to nefarious manipulation by powers that be.

“There is a big nasty complex game being played behind the scenes to make the articles say what somebody wants them to say,” Sanger said this week, blasting the current community culture at Wikipedia. “There are all kinds of tricks that people can play to ‘win’ it.”

OH NO! It’s Moon Wobble! – Launch the tire balancer!

NASA predicts moon ‘wobble’ and climate change will lead to more floods, more often

The moon is wobbling. There’s really no other way to say it. A slight alteration to the moon’s orbit — a wobble, if you will — has raised both eyebrows and questions about what effect such a slight jiggle may have here on Earth. It’s funny to say, sure, but the potential ramifications of a moon wobble have scientists concerned for the future.

Ontario reports 159 new Covid cases … and … Suddenly childhood viruses are back!

Ontario reports 159 new COVID-19 cases; 10 additional deaths


Children’s viruses that disappeared during pandemic lockdowns are back, doctors say

As children emerge from their homes after COVID-19-related lockdowns, common viruses that all but disappeared during the pandemic are re-emerging too, doctors say.

“This time of year in pediatric hospitals, it’s usually quiet,” said Dr. Fatima Kakkar, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist at CHU Sainte-Justine in Montreal. “But now we’re seeing a surge of respiratory infections.”

The level of non-COVID illnesses is what Kakkar usually sees in the fall, she said, when children are out and about in daycares or schools.

Kids should be outside eating dirt.

Almost Four Decades After Its Birth, The Diversity Industry Thrives on Its Own Failures

Campus diversity advocates have pulled off their greatest coup to date: They have declared “diversity” to be a freestanding academic discipline, thus injecting their bureaucracy-heavy apparatus into the very heart of the academic enterprise. As of this month, Bentley University, a business-oriented liberal arts school in Waltham, Mass., will offer a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Sciences degree in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). By all accounts, this is the first undergraduate major dedicated to churning out more diversity bureaucrats and consultants. It will not be the last.

Going All In – The NEA pledges to bring critical race theory to a public school near you.

On June 30, members of the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers’ union, voted to approve a plan to promote critical race theory in all 50 states.

South Africa is on the brink

For the first time, people appear afraid for the future

The province of my birth is burning. Looters, using the excuse of the incarceration of former President Jacob Zuma, have laid an unimpeded trail of violence, arson, assault and damage across KwaZulu Natal, traditional home of the Zulu people.

Armed volunteers mount barricades at the entrances to my village while youngsters on trail bikes scout through the perimeter cane fields. There is no available food or fuel and the chat groups buzz with an incessant flood of posts about destroyed buildings, burnt cars and roaming mobs. The State is entirely absent.

Donald Trump slams ‘disgusting’ report on Russian interference in 2016 election

A new report alleging Russian spy agencies were told to help Donald Trump win the 2016 presidential election is “disgusting” and “fiction,” the former president said Thursday.

“This is disgusting,” Trump tweeted through spokeswoman Liz Harrington. “It’s fake news, just like RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA was fake news. It’s just the Radical Left crazies doing whatever they can to demean everybody on the right.

Facebook Censorship Board Member: Free Speech Is Not A Human Right

Resting Stalin Face

Free speech is not a human right, according to prominent Facebook censorship board member Helle Thorning-Schmidt.

“What we’re trying to find, of course, I think many of us engaging in this conversation, is that middle road. How do you moderate content and how do you find that balance between human rights and free speech, which is a human right, but also other human rights because free speech is not an absolute human right,” the Facebook Oversight Board co-chair said during a live stream of Politico’s Tech 28 spotlight.

Former investigator describes Tracy Stone-Manning as ‘vulgar, antagonistic’ member of Earth First! extremist group

“Last month I wrote about Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management. Tracy Stone-Manning has a pretty extremist history. In 1992 she wrote a thesis arguing for population control to protect the environment. Her paper included a sample advertisement which described a toddler as “the environmental hazard in this photo.” But it’s another part of her past that has attracted the most attention.”

Activists and journalists have left Minneapolis, but the homicides haven’t

While the racial crusade of liberals continues everywhere, from athletics to media to the State Department, it seems that everyone has forgotten where this all started.

Minneapolis, exploited by activists and politicians, is still reaping the consequences.

The death of George Floyd started a whirlwind of racial obsession. With so many people feeling isolated and alone amid the pandemic, leftist activists forcefully attempted to racialize every aspect of our lives. Minneapolis was the jumping-off point as activists, some of them pretending to be journalists, flocked to the city to push their own agenda. But since the guilty verdict handed down against former police officer Derek Chauvin, Minneapolis has been left behind by the national narrative.
