Last week, medical journalist Katherine Eban posted at Vanity Fair the results of a long and detailed investigation into the lab-leak theory of the origins of SARS-CoV-2. The subject is moving ever more to the front-and-center of efforts to find out exactly what was going on at the highest levels in early 2020 that resulted in the greatest societal, political, and economic upheaval of our lives.
Ontario has mostly reopened at this point, with mask mandates, lockdowns, and vaccine mandates presumably behind the province, but it seems like Premier Doug Ford’s PC government does not want to let go of all the new powers it granted itself over the last two years.
Bill 100 was tabled by the Solicitor General, Sylvia Jones, who was the same PC MPP who tabled Bill 195, ironically named “The Reopening Ontario Act” which gave Ford the power to lockdown Ontario and add restrictions whenever he wanted.
There are different reasons for what’s happening in Europe and what’s about to happen in the United States, but it all seems to be pointing in one direction: Food shortages are coming.
The vandalism carried out in the summer of 2021 against statues of Sir John A. Macdonald, Queen Victoria and Egerton Ryerson was supported by only a small fringe of Canadians. And a new Leger-Postmedia poll makes the case that Macdonald’s reputation has only improved with every attack — every time his name has been removed from a building and every time a monument to him has been taken down.
For about 10 minutes this week, it was like the good old days for state-run media — they thought they had finally gaffed him this time, Donald J. Trump, the great orange whale that the Captain Ahabs of fake news have been pursuing all these years.

“It’s hard for most of us to imagine a trillion-dollar debt, but we know what it’s like to watch a bill going up in real time, and that’s exactly what the Debt Clock shows Canadians,” said Franco Terrazzano, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation.
To solve the country’s capacity problem, experts say, leaders need to finally confront the deeper flaws in how Canadian health care is structured.
Canada’s largest bank is accelerating its forecast for higher interest rates. RBC sees the Bank of Canada (BoC) doubling the overnight rate at the April meeting. The bank is also accelerating its forecast, seeing a sharp and fast tightening cycle. By year end, they expect the overnight rate to hit the highest level in over a decade.

“Early-day estimates indicate a community growth rate advantage of ~10 per cent as compared to BA.2, however this finding requires further confirmation. XE belongs to the Omicron variant until significant differences in transmission and disease characteristics, including severity, may be reported,” it added.
Clinton said, “I always thought the best politics is doing the best job you can do, and there are a lot that Democrats can talk about in the upcoming midterms. I’m aware that midterms are always difficult for the party in power, but we’ve got to start there and do a better job of telling it. For those who say it hasn’t gone far enough, that’s always the chorus in Democratic party politics. But I would add that in Republican party politics, you have an even greater disconnect. Unfortunately, most of that party has now gone to the extreme and are saying and doing things that have no basis in reality. So we’ve got a good case to make if we get our focus in the right place.”
I’m not sure I can answer why socialism is experiencing a comeback because as somebody who thinks about economic systems a lot, it’s very bizarre to me from an efficacy standpoint. In other words, it doesn’t have a lot of capabilities.
Here’s what I think. I have come to this conclusion: it sounds good on paper. I have a list of a lot of things, and I always say, “This sounds good on paper.” It sounds really good to say there are some people who are really rich. Bill Gates has a bunch of billions of dollars, right. We could take a billion from him and he would barely notice. That may be true — doesn’t mean it’s right — but it may be true that we could take a billion or two from him, George Soros, and all these rich guys, and give it to poor people. It sounds good on paper! But it’s not addressing the underlying issues of why people are poor.
Now the embarrassment has spread, as it should. Here’s the headline in the New York Post. It was, recall, the New York Post that published the original scoop on the laptop and the e-mails it contained way back there in October of 2020 — a scoop that was silenced by Big Tech and ignored by the mainstream media when they weren’t dismissing it as “Russian disinformation.”
As Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland puts the finishing touches on her 2022-23 budget to be unveiled Thursday, she should focus on a report predicting Canada’s economic growth is poised to be dead last among advanced countries for four decades.
The documentary contends the Zuckerberg money persuaded governmental entities to adopt policies that compromise vote integrity, including mail-in ballots and increasing the number of ballot drop boxes. The $400 million was distributed through the Center for Tech and Civic Life and the Center for Election Innovation and Research in Wisconsin, Arizona and Georgia.
Ottawa allocated $300-million at the beginning of the pandemic for the construction of 15 mobile hospitals, but only four 100-bed units have been completed and they are sitting in storage despite the strain on hospitals caused by Omicron across the country.
“As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments,” the report read. “And while the president has never communicated his frustrations directly to Mr. Garland, he has said privately that he wanted Mr. Garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action over the events of Jan. 6.”
Amid times of crisis and change, the ideals and values that will guide a nation in the future are defined by how the next generation interprets and responds to circumstances.
For some time, Canada has been heading down the path of expanded centralization and government power, a trend that reached a new height (or low) during the pandemic.
Yet, human nature being what it is, those who lead a seemingly dominant trend often end up overreaching, causing a backlash that leads to a countertrend and reversal.
And it now appears this is what we are seeing in Canada.
How am I attempting to raise my kids as homosexuals, you ask?
Well, it’s simple: I learned how from watching straight people enforce a sexual orientation on their children without ever saying “straight.”
“Social media companies need to do more to prevent propaganda, and to counter any form of disinformation,” Joly said at an event at the University of Toronto’s Munk School two weeks ago. The problem is “not only happening in Russia, it’s happening on new virtual battlegrounds, which are our social media companies,” she added.
Sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere is the world’s only chance to avoid climate change disaster, according to a report due to be released Monday.
The paper by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is expected to say that dangerous climate change will be avoided only if vast quantities of carbon dioxide are removed from the air, the Times of London reported.
