Freeland to deliver Liberal plan to revive Canada’s post-pandemic economy today

The federal government will release its long-awaited fiscal update today — a spending plan to help Canadians cope with COVID-19 while recharging the national economy and key sectors battered by the global crisis.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will rise in the House of Commons at 4 p.m. ET today to outline details of her plan to both boost job creation and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Government sources have told CBC News the plan will include new but time-limited spending measures to support hard-hit industries and vulnerable Canadians, while laying the groundwork for the policy priorities presented in September’s speech from the throne.

Judge Blocks, Then Unblocks Georgia From Wiping or Resetting Election Machines

A federal judge presiding over a major election lawsuit in Georgia on Nov. 29 issued and then reversed an order directing the state to cease and desist wiping or resetting election machines.

“Defendants are ordered to maintain the status quo & are temporarily enjoined from wiping or resetting any voting machines in the State of Georgia until further order of the court,” U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten Sr. wrote in an emergency order issued Nov. 29.

The judge reversed the order not long after, explaining that the defendants aren’t in possession of the machines.

We were warned in 2016 that tabulated results on Dominion voting machines could be manipulated

It’s hard to understand why any state would use Dominion voting systems. Way back in 2016, prior to the first election of Donald Trump, at a conference at the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology in San Francisco on October 20, experts warned that with very little security, the tabulated results could be manipulated.

The ‘Robin Hood’ policemen who stole from the Nazis

During the German occupation of their island, a group of Guernsey policemen were deported to brutal labour camps in Nazi-occupied Europe after appearing before a British court. Their crime? Stealing food from the Germans to stop civilians from going hungry.

Not all of them survived. Some of those who did return home at the end of World War Two were suffering with debilitating diseases and had life-changing injuries, yet they were treated as criminals and denied their pensions.

Decades after what the men’s families believe to be a dreadful injustice, some of them made one last attempt to clear their fathers’ names.

Will Covid kill Silicon Valley?

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, poverty-stricken families from the American heartlands packed up their bags and migrated to California. 90 years later there are signs of a reverse migration. Only this time, it’s not farm workers, but tech workers. According to Katherine Bindley in the Wall Street Journal, smaller tech companies in places like Bloomington, Minnesota and Tucson, Arizona are getting job applications from the people based in the big coastal tech clusters.

As some of the employers interviewed in the article make clear, this is happening for the first time. If that’s indicative of a wider trend, then we’re looking at a significant disruption

Adam Carolla Says What Comedians Wouldn’t for Eight Long Obama Years

Political comedy took a knee when Barack Obama moved into the Oval Office.

In a way the jitters were understandable. Poking fun at the first black president, at least initially, took a master’s touch. One false syllable and cries of “racist!” might be heard from sea to shining sea.

Still, after a while, President Obama became just another world leader. In theory, that meant political humor was back.

British Army spies wage ‘information war’ against anti-vaxx content online – report

With a significant number of Britons skeptical of a Covid vaccine, the army has reportedly deployed an “information warfare” unit to stamp out anti-vaxx propaganda online. Offline, citizens still protest lockdowns in the streets.

The British government is expected to greenlight a coronavirus vaccine and begin its distribution next month. In addition to the logistical challenge of getting millions of doses to the public, the government also faces the hurdle of convincing them to take it. According to a recent poll by the British Academy and the Royal Society, more than a third of people in Britain say they’re either uncertain or very unlikely to take the vaccine.

Beyond the numbers: Who is dying of COVID in Canada, and how?

The woman was 52, and the mother of two boys, ages 12 and 15. Seeing her, lying helpless, with her lungs shredded by COVID, reminded Dr. Peter Goldberg of the first wave of the virus, back in early spring, when “it was like a forest fire, and all I had was a garden hose.” No matter what the doctors tried, steroids, everything, her carbon dioxide levels kept rising. At some point they couldn’t ventilate her, they couldn’t get the carbon dioxide out. She died, “and we watched this,” says Goldberg, head of the critical care program at the McGill University Health Centre.

Adamson Barbecue arrestee must take a COVID-19 test as a bail condition. Several lawyers say the requirement is outrageous and ‘likely unlawful’

A man arrested after allegedly spitting at police during a fracas outside Adamson Barbecue must undergo a COVID-19 test and disclose the results as a condition of his bail — a requirement several lawyers said is “unreasonable” and “likely unlawful.”

Michael Belito Arana was arrested Nov. 26 as protesters, rallying around the restaurant’s three-day-long defiance of lockdown rules, confronted police. The 27-year-old Markham man faces several criminal charges, including six counts of assaulting a police officer.

How dumb is Blackie? He put all his vaccine eggs in the Communist China basket says O’Toole

PM put all vaccine ‘eggs’ in one basket, didn’t consider other options: O’Toole

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole accused the Liberal government Sunday of putting too much emphasis on partnering with a Chinese company for a COVID-19 vaccine in what turned out to be a failed deal.

O’Toole said the Trudeau government only turned its attention to pre-ordering tens of millions of vaccine doses from companies such as Pfizer and Moderna in August after its collaboration between the National Research Council and Chinese vaccine-maker CanSino finally collapsed after months of delays.
