Bill C-10 opens the door for regulating government accountability

Canadians can choose to watch virtually anything from anywhere in the world online. And they can share virtually any opinion globally through their cellphone. It’s astonishing freedom.

But the federal government sees a problem. Canadians aren’t watching enough of the right stuff and sometimes they say the wrong things. So, the Liberal government introduced Bill C-10 to give the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission more power to oversee what we’re watching and sharing to make sure it conforms to government-approved standards.

‘Craven virtue signaling’: Uproar as 43yo weightlifter Laurel Hubbard is set to become the first transgender athlete at Olympics

Fans have reacted with fury after Laurel Hubbard, a weightlifter who competed in men’s competitions before transitioning in 2013, was announced as being in line to take on women at the Tokyo Olympic Games later this year.

The New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) confirmed that Hubbard, who was the subject of a failed Australian weightlifting federation bid to ban her from participating in the 2018 Commonwealth Games, is “very likely” to be allocated a quota spot for the showpiece this summer.

I’m OK with this so long as not another cent of tax payer money funds athletes and that it be made law that Canada will never bid to be a host of or participate in future Olympic games.

Canadians made desperate by #Trudeauvaccinefailure fly south to get COVID vaccine shots … and … Study says single Pfizer shot offers only 30% protection against UK Variant dominant in Ontario

Desperate Canadians fly south to get COVID vaccine shots as U.S. demand falls

OTTAWA — With COVID-19 vaccine demand declining in the United States, some Canadians facing third-wave lockdowns are flying south to get inoculated, perhaps months earlier than they would be able to at home.

Jimmy Simmons, 37, saw friends in their 40s struggling to get a shot in Ontario. The Toronto businessman decided to spend a few weeks in New York City to meet clients and get vaccinated. He got his first of two shots on Tuesday.

Study suggests COVID-19 vaccine dose spacing strategy considerably less effective against variant strains

A new study involving tens of thousands of participants in Qatar found a single dose of the Pfizer-BioNech coronavirus vaccine was only 30 per cent effective at preventing infection by the B.1.1.7 variant now pervasive in Ontario, and only 55 per cent effective at preventing hospitalization or death.

Ontario reports 3,424 new Covid Cases … and… No herd immunity for Canada?

Number of new COVID-19 cases in Ontario jumps above 3,400 today

The number of new COVID-19 infections reported in Ontario jumped above 3,400 today after falling below 3,000 for the past two days but virus-related hospitalizations still appear to be on the decline.

Ontario is reporting 3,424 new cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus today, up from 2,941 on Wednesday and 2,791 on Tuesday.

Canada may struggle to reach herd immunity, experts say

Herd immunity may not be reached in Canada but a return to life similar to that before COVID-19 is possible through immunization, experts say.

Such immunity is achieved when enough people are immune to a virus, either through vaccinations or natural infections or a combination of both.

Prof. Paul Tupper of Simon Fraser University’s mathematics department said herd immunity is unlikely to happen with COVID-19 for a few reasons.

Trudeau Green-Scam May Force Auto Dealers To Sell Electric Vehicles

Should Canada mandate sales targets for electric vehicles? Report says ‘yes’

OTTAWA — Whether Canada should introduce a national mandate requiring the auto industry to make or sell more zero-emission vehicles is a question facing the Liberal government as it’s not on the road to meet its own targets.

The vehicles, known as ZEVs, are seen by Ottawa as a way to help cut the country’s greenhouse gas emissions to get to net-zero by 2050 and slash them by up to 45 per cent below 2005 levels within the decade.

Together, light-duty passenger trucks and cars typically make up the biggest polluting culprits within Canada’s transportation sector.

Of course Erin O’Tooliban’s Con Party thinks it’s a swell idea too.

WaPo engages in repulsive puffery on Al Sharpton

My guess is that Jeff Bezos does not want Al Sharpton rallying support for unionization of his workforce, which now numbers well over a million souls. A buck-an-hour increase for that many people really adds up fast.

Maybe that explains this article in the Washington Post, shamelessly promoting and (dare I say it?) whitewashing the career of a race-baiter, pogrom-inciter demagogue like Al Sharpton.

The Zarif-Kerry Bromance Saga Continues

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif evidently had no idea that Israel had launched 200 airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria until John Kerry, now President Biden’s climate czar, told him, according to Washington Free Beacon reporter Adam Kredo. Kredo managed to obtain the audio file of Zarif’s leaked phone interview in which Kerry’s disclosure was revealed and had it independently translated.

Video Celebrating Heroic Muslim for Ramadan ‘in Collaboration with Facebook’ Accused of Fakery

“We are a force for good,” says Nas Daily, the popular Facebook video site that boasts: “With 60 members, we reached 3.2% of the world’s population, 10 billion video impressions, 35 million followers, 100% organic views.” Nas Daily videos tend to be heartwarming and inspiring tales of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and a video posted Saturday seemed to be more of the same: it profiled a man who adopted eighty children, portraying him as an unalloyed hero.

Illegal Immigration Destroys Sovereignty – Our ruling classes reject our right to govern ourselves.

Controversy about immigration in America is as old as the nation itself. The Declaration of Independence presents as one of the “Facts…submitted to a candid world” that “the present King of Great Britain” intends to establish “an absolute Tyranny over these States” because he has obstructed “Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither.”

The Declaration had proclaimed that “the Laws of nature and of Nature’s God” entitled the American people to assume, “among the Powers of the earth,” a “separate and equal” sovereign nation. This nation would be based on the “consent of the governed” and dedicated to the proposition that “all men are created equal.” The clear message conveyed by the Declaration was that a sovereign nation-state has plenary power over matters of citizenship and immigration.

Questioning the Climate-Change Narrative

‘The Science.” We’re all supposed to know what “The Science” says. “The Science,” we’re told, is settled. How many times have you heard it?

Humans have already broken the earth’s climate. Temperatures are rising, sea level is surging, ice is disappearing, and heat waves, storms, droughts, floods, and wildfires are an ever-worsening scourge on the world. Greenhouse-gas emissions are causing all of this. And unless they’re eliminated promptly by radical changes to society and its energy systems, “The Science” says earth is doomed.

COVID leads to erosion of fundamental rights and freedom

The “Atlas of Civil Society” report is full of examples of restricted freedoms: overcrowded prisons in the Philippines, arrested journalists in Zimbabwe, threatened human rights defenders in Mexico. For the fourth time, the organizations Bread for the World and Civicus published a comprehensive report on the situation of civil society organizations and their members in almost 200 countries.

“2019 was a year of protests,” said Dagmar Pruin, chairperson of Bread for the World. “Worldwide, people took to the streets. And this mobilization continued in 2020, for example in the US, or in Belarus.”

Combatting violent crime is risky business in the age of BLM

Last year, the homicide count in Washington, D.C. reached a 36-year high. So far this year, D.C. homicides are up 38 percent from the same time last year.

During the past weekend alone, at least 11 people were shot in D.C. Three of them died.

D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser says she will respond by pouring extra police officers into six historically crime-ridden neighborhoods. The idea is to head off violence.

Military response to UFOs subject of latest Pentagon inspector general investigation

The Pentagon is set to begin the most expansive look yet at the military’s response to “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” in an inspector general investigation announced this week.

The effort will build on a provision couched in the 2021 Intelligence Authorization Act that ordered spy agencies and the Defense Department to report to lawmakers what they know about the phenomena within six months. Last year, the Pentagon released videos of incidents from November 2004 and two from January 2015. In the Navy footage from more than a decade ago, two F/A-18 Hornet pilots chase a cylindrical object that moves at high speed with ease. Pilots continued chasing the object across the horizon and remarked that several more are visible.

Canada’s Realization That Its Covid Response Was Worse Than the U.S. Is a Blow to Its National Prestige

Canada’s overall response to the Covid pandemic has been a blow to the country’s national prestige. Canadians are asking themselves why America will get back to normal months before Canada.

They’re supposed to have a superior health care system. They’re supposed to have a more competent and civilized government. They’re supposed to be better than the U.S.

Canada’s leaders used this fantasy to explain away their own failings. “You think it’s bad here, just look at what’s happening in America!”

UK government has ‘washed its hands’ of teacher who has gotten death threats for showing Muhammad cartoons

“Of course it has. The government in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain is paralyzed with fear of its growing and restive Muslim communities, and is increasingly ready to throw Britain’s cherished principles away and embrace Sharia blasphemy laws in exchange for spurious promises of peace and security.”
