Car Caravans Forming for ‘Historic’ Protest in Washington

Sixty-year-old Robin, a supermarket clerk in rural Virginia, hasn’t visited the nation’s capital in more than two decades or ever taken part in organizing a political event, although she was quick to volunteer to manage a stop for one of the four vehicle caravans headed to Washington for what many are calling a historic protest on Jan. 6, 2021.

In an unprecedented request, President Donald Trump asked his supporters to travel to Washington for a “big protest” on Jan. 6, when a joint session of Congress will be held, during which lawmakers will vet the Electoral College votes cast three weeks prior.

Ontario reports new record of 2,923 Covid cases

Ontario is reporting a new record number of COVID-19 cases for the second consecutive day and it comes despite a drop off in testing that has coincided with the holiday season.

The Ministry of Health says that there were 2,923 new cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus confirmed on Tuesday, pushing the rolling seven-day average up to 2,309.

It is a marked increase on the then record 2,553 cases that were reported one day prior.

WARMINGTON: Lockdown makes no sense without rapid COVID testing at Pearson

It’s obvious who the first two people tested for coronavirus at Pearson International should be: Ontario Finance Minister Rod Phillips and former federal finance minister Bill Morneau.

After all, both figured it was OK to travel during the pandemic while government and health officials urged the rest of us to stay at home to stop the spread of the deadly virus.

The current lockdown might slow the spread of the UK variant, but it won’t stop it. I suspect they’ll just lock us down again if it becomes dominant later. Just a little something to look forward to in 2021.

‘We are not prepared’: The flaws inside Public Health that hurt Canada’s readiness for COVID-19

As a global pandemic began to take root in February, China held a series of backchannel conversations with Canada, lobbying the federal government to keep its borders open.

With the virus already taking a deadly toll in Asia, Heng Xiaojun, the Minister Counsellor for the Chinese embassy, requested a call with senior Transport Canada officials. Over the course of the conversation, the Chinese representatives communicated Beijing’s desire that flights between the two countries not be stopped because it was unnecessary.

“The Chinese position on the continuation of flights was reiterated,” say official notes taken from the call. “Mr. Heng conveyed that China is taking comprehensive measures to combat the coronavirus.”

Canadian officials seemed to agree, since no steps were taken to restrict or prohibit travel. To the federal government, China appeared to have the situation under control and the risk to Canada was low. Before ending the call, Mr. Heng thanked Ottawa for its “science and fact-based approach.”

Looks like the Globe released this from the paywall. Interesting but distressing read of our ruling class at work.

BLM-inspired ‘Black Panther of Oxford’ calls for ‘Holocaust-style’ reparations for all black people and a sex offenders-style ‘race offence register’

A leader of a new political party inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement has called for a ‘race offenders’ register’ that would see people barred from jobs based on having been accused of ‘micro-aggressions’ in the workplace.

Sasha Johnson, the self-styled ‘Black Panther of Oxford’, came to prominence as an organiser of the BLM protests earlier this year, where she was seen addressing crowds while wearing camouflage trousers, a black beret and a stab-proof-style vest.

The 26-year-old, from the Taking the Initiative Party (TTIP) said the racial offenders list would be ‘similar’ to the sex offenders’ register – which is used to bar paedophiles from professions like teaching.

How Canadians will know when it’s their turn to get vaccinated

With the recent announcement that Health Canada has approved Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine, the second being made available to the public, Canadians are likely wondering when it will be their turn to get inoculated.

But with the country currently in the first phase of vaccine rollout, that’s still unclear, with much depending on what they do and where they live.

Ontario finance minister says he’s returning home as news of Caribbean vacation sparks anger

Ontario Finance Minister Rod Phillips says he’ll return home after news that he travelled to a Caribbean island for a personal vacation amid the COVID-19 pandemic sparked public anger.

On Tuesday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he was “extremely disappointed” that Philips had travelled despite repeated calls for Ontarians to stay home amid rising case counts of the novel coronavirus.

The trip comes at a time when Ontario residents have been asked to make sacrifices, Ford said.

Girlfriend of Lizard People Hunting Nashville bomber Anthony Warner told cops he was making bombs last year

Girlfriend of Nashville bomber Anthony Warner told cops he was making bombs last year

Nashville police were warned in 2019 that Anthony Warner was making a bomb inside his RV — but nothing was done to stop him.

Warner’s girlfriend told Nashville cops on Aug. 21, 2019, that he “was building bombs in the RV trailer at his residence,” according to a report Tuesday in The Tennessean.

City cops passed the tip off to the FBI and ATF.

Nashville bomber Anthony Quinn Warner reportedly believed in ‘lizard people’

Authorities are looking into evidence that Nashville RV bomber Anthony Quinn Warner spent time hunting for aliens and was interested in “lizard people,” ABC News reported.

Law enforcement sources told the outlet that investigators found some of Warner’s writings containing ramblings about various conspiracy theories.

Some of the notes were reportedly about the lizard or reptilian conspiracy — the idea that shape-shifting lizard creatures take on human form in an attempt at world domination.

This to me says the Lizard People are running the FBI.

Will Washington, DC lock out Trump-supporters on January 6?

When leftists say they want to silence us, arrest us, re-educate us, and utterly and completely destroy us, they mean it. And as we know all too well, they will use any means necessary.

This is what tyrants do.

And so, as patriots start to converge on Washington, D.C. for Trump’s rally, the left is applying pressure to make it difficult for us to secure accommodations.

A Racism Reign of Terror Begins at University of Rhode Island

The Cultural Revolution targets an insufficiently woke faculty.

Seeming to give credence to Bertrand Russell’s observation that “The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts,” yet another campus engulfed in race hysteria has set its sights on administrators and faculty who purportedly have not exhibited sufficient contrition for their racism according to the current moral arbitrators of race awareness.

The Left is paralysed by disgust – If you hate your country, you cannot change it

Decades ago, in a village in Burma, my companion told me of a fear she’d had in the night. “What if they all want to do that?” she asked.

“That” was move to Britain. We had been talking to a waiter who had learned good English and through some connection with previous tourists knew about the outside world in what we might call granular detail. He was particularly impressed with banks that gave out money via holes in the wall. He wanted to escape the repression and poverty of his country and get to London. We gently put him off the idea, which seemed too far-fetched to be realistic.

The year Big Tech became the Ministry of Truth

In 2020, social-media firms suppressed protest, scientific debate and corruption allegations against the powerful.

In this year of lockdown, it is not just our movements, social lives and work that have been restricted. Big Tech has also stepped up its efforts at closing down what we can say and read. Two issues in particular have been central to Silicon Valley’s escalating war on wrongthink: the Covid-19 pandemic and the US presidential elections.

It’s hard now to imagine the time when Twitter’s managing director proudly declared his social-media platform to be ‘the free-speech wing of the free-speech party’.

Dressed to Kill: Why the Most Fashionable Football Hooligans Used to Wear Pierre Cardin

French fashion designer Pierre Cardin has died aged 98. But why did his clothes became “must have” accessories for British football hooligans in the 1980s?

Tributes have been flooding in for Pierre Cardin, who was among the first to design ‘ready-to-wear’ collections in the late 1950s.

A designer with great business acumen, he became the king of designer merchandising in the 1970s and 80s.

Delingpole: Woke BBC Comic Berates Ricky Gervais for ‘Transphobia‘

A woke BBC comedian has called out Ricky Gervais for telling insensitive jokes about ‘trans’ people.

Here’s the funny part. The woke BBC comedian — whose name is Frankie Boyle — built his career and his multi-million pound fortune telling jokes about disabled children trying to rape their own mothers and mocking the very ‘trans’ community he now considers sacrosanct.

How China silenced voices and rewrote Covid history

At the start of the year the Chinese government faced two major challenges; an unknown disease which threatened to tear through its population and a wave of voices online telling the world what was happening.

By the end of 2020, a glance at Chinese state-controlled media shows that both appear to be under control.

The BBC’s Kerry Allen and Zhaoyin Feng take a look back at the country’s online government censors who worked harder than ever to supress negative information, the citizens that managed to break through the Great Firewall, and how the propaganda machine re-wrote the narrative.
