After the Ontario government announced Friday they were giving police the power to randomly stop pedestrians and motorists on the streets, multiple police services have come forward saying they will not be making use of these new powers.

Canada’s COVID-19 travel restrictions are an inept, deadly failure
The thing about social media is there’s always something out there to enrage you.
For weeks now, there have been people posting stories about how they avoided the “mandatory” hotel quarantine upon entering Canada by simply renting a car and driving across a land border instead. Yes, you get asked a couple of questions, get your temperature checked, but then it’s away you go to self-quarantine.
“What kind of protective system is that?” I thought. Until I read stories detailing how people flying into Canada have simply been refusing to go to a government-sanctioned quarantine hotel – absent repercussions. They may have to pay a small fine. For most, it’s worth it.

Portland: Antifa rioters torch Apple store
Rioters in Portland, Oregon wreaked havoc on the city’s downtown, smashing windows and setting an Apple store on fire. Though the city has seen nightly riots for nearly a year, the latest came after police shot a man dead.
Another night, another riot. Protesters assembled on Friday afternoon in Lents Park, where police had shot a man dead hours earlier. The man, who local media identified as “white” to ward off any potential “social unrest,” was carrying a replica firearm when he was killed.

I kinda don’t feel bad about this for some reason…
Gretchen Whitmer is overseeing the worst outbreaks of the pandemic; why isn’t she following ‘The Science’?
“We have some of the strongest protocols in the country,” she said Thursday on MSNBC, “and yet, this virus has come raging back.”
You don’t say.
It was a surprise that host Chris Hayes didn’t cut her mic for contradicting The Science.
Michigan is currently averaging more COVID-19 cases and deaths per 100,000 people than any other state.
Gee but this sounds awfully familiar.
Ontario reports 4,362 new Covid cases … and it’s Dougie’s world we just suffer for it
Ontario reports 4,362 new COVID-19 cases and 34 deaths; hospitalizations top 2,000
Ontario reported more than 4,300 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday, as those hospitalized with the virus topped 2,000 for the first time in the pandemic.
Provincial health officials reported 4,362 new coronavirus cases and 34 additional deaths today, the highest single-day death count since 47 fatalities were recorded on Feb. 19.
Ontario’s new COVID-19 restrictions have science ‘absolutely upside-down,’ experts say
A leading epidemiologist is slamming some aspects of the Ontario government’s decision to double down on COVID-19 restrictions Friday, saying that Premier Doug Ford has the science behind his soon-to-be-enacted measures “absolutely upside-down.”
University of Toronto professor Dr. David Fisman expressed his frustration in an interview with Global News shortly after the premier’s press conference, where he announced more COVID-19 restrictions aimed at slowing down the record-setting spread of new cases in the province.
“The reason it’s so frustrating to hear stuff like this is he’s got the science absolutely upside-down,” he said.
You missed the UGG-Patrisse Cullors ‘Eff White Supremacy’ Electric Slide!
When last you heard about Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors, it was because news broke that she’s not just a “trained Marxist,” but also a real estate maven, owning four high-end properties in predominantly White neighborhoods. But did you know that she’s also an “Electric Slide line dance” queen? And that the fuzzy, ugly UGG shoes you wear during the winter are her dance partners in this terpsichorean effort? The alliance between BLM and American corporations is strong.
Canada: J-Space Supports NDP Party’s BDS Resolution to Actively Campaign Against ‘Illegal Settlements’
J-Space is known as a “respectable,” “Progressive” Jewish voice in Canada. It is more or less the counterpart to J-Street in America. Several days ago, the New Democratic Party (NDP) in Canada passed an anti-Israel, BDS-supporting Resolution, 04-10-20 (Justice and Peace in Israel-Palestine), at its 2021 Convention. J-Space supported it.
The Left runs Joe Biden — not the other way around
The President is bending over backwards to satisfy the Democrats’ ‘woke’ wing
“It is the problem of the society that produces the racist,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the National Action Network this week. “And in today’s world, that’s every society.” Said America’s envoy in Turtle Bay: “White supremacy is weaved into our founding documents and principles.”
Woke capitalism is a menace to democracy
Big businesses are aggressively interfering in politics – and liberals are egging them on.
Woke capital is on the offensive. This past week, CEOs of big corporations have aggressively inserted themselves into politics, threatening to use their economic power to override legislation. This is a serious menace to democracy.
‘You’re a guest in a BLACK SPACE’: BLM activists tell white ‘ally’ at Minnesota protest ‘YOU DON’T BELONG’
A white protester who joined in a Black Lives Matter demonstration over Sunday’s police shooting in suburban Minneapolis apparently overstepped his bounds, being told to leave for failing to be a proper guest “in a black space.”
Footage from Thursday night’s protest in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, shows a confrontation between a group of black protestors and a young white man. Washington Examiner journalist Nic Rowan, who posted the video on Twitter, said the conflict began after a group of white protesters told demonstrators to stop throwing water bottles at police.
Big Business Joins the Other Crumbling Pillars of Society
As with all the other pillars of traditional America, business has gone horribly wrong.
What a pitiful trajectory the woke leaders of large American corporations have traced as American business, once a pillar of American society and political science, has crumbled along with other pillars as if in a choreographed sequence.
The senior levels of national intelligence and the Justice Department were tainted in the nonsense about collusion between Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia in 2016. Academia, apparently down to kindergarten, largely has been transformed into a massive brainwashing operation to convince the country’s youth that the United States is hateful and racist. The national political media have failed catastrophically and all surveys show that over 80 percent of Americans don’t believe a word they read or hear from that source. Any sector of American society which has done such savage violence to its own franchise will pay dearly for it commercially.

Shorter Public Health: We Were Already Screwed So Why Bother Screening Flights From Brazil For Vaccine Resistant P1 Variant
Growing outbreaks of the Brazilian COVID-19 variant in Canada prompted health officials to quietly cease enhanced screening measures for travellers arriving from the South American nation.
In a statement sent to the Sun, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said the extra screening didn’t seem necessary as the infectious and increasingly vaccine-resistant variant of concern (VOC) had already gained a significant foothold in this country.
Oh! Oh! South African variant cases rise amid reports several infected people have had a Covid vaccine dose
Rex Murphy: O’Toole is digging a political Grand Canyon there will be no getting out of
“I, Erin O’Toole, promise that, if elected Prime Minister of Canada, I will: Immediately repeal the Trudeau carbon tax; and, reject any future national carbon tax or cap-and-trade scheme.” — A Canadian Taxpayers Federation pledgesigned by Erin O’Toole when soliciting support for his bid to lead the Conservative party.
Last seen falling off his horse on the road to Green Damascus, Erin O’Toole is thought by many to be the leader of a party known as Conservative.
