Beloved actress, comedian and American icon Betty White has died, just weeks before a milestone birthday.

If you want to know how truly evil Joe Biden is, look no further than how he is killing Americans by withholding Monoclonal Antibody treatments from Florida and Texas. While blue states are shunning their use Texas and Florida were saving lives using the treatment, Then in September, Biden cuts the amounts of the treatments that were being sent to Florida and Texas. Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo accused the Biden administration of actively blocking the monoclonal treatments to Florida.

Canada’s WestJet Airlines will cancel 15% of scheduled flights in January because the rapidly spreading Omicron variant of COVID-19 has left the airline unable to fully staff its operations, the company said on Thursday.
The announcement from privately owned WestJet, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, comes after a slew of North American flight cancellations due to surging coronavirus cases and brutally cold winter weather.
Use of fear to control behaviour in Covid crisis was ‘totalitarian’, admit scientists https://t.co/W3asqmarQi

Quebec is once again imposing a curfew in an effort to curb the spread of the highly contagious Omicron variant, as well as closing restaurant dining rooms, delaying the reopening of schools and closing non-essential businesses on Sundays.

As the People’s Republic of China (PRC) emerged from war and revolution in 1949, it became apparent that the Chinese economy lacked the capacity to compete with the U.S. or the U.S.S.R. in the production of advanced military technology. Transfers from the Soviet Union helped remedy the gap in the 1950s, as did transfers from the United States and Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. Still, the Cultural Revolution stifled technology and scientific research, leaving the Chinese even farther behind.
Thus, China has long supplemented legitimate transfers and domestic innovation with industrial espionage. In short, the PRC has a well-established habit of pilfering weapons technology from Russia and the United States. As the years have gone by, Beijing’s spies have become ever more skillful and flexible in their approach.

From the perspective of animal lovers, Canada’s vet shortfall is shaping up to be a full-on crisis in the coming year—from coast to coast. Mississauga’s Clarkson Village Animal Hospital was a 24-hour clinic. Recently, short of staff, it cut its hours to 8 a.m.-8 p.m. In Penticton, B.C., a pet advocate addressed city council to plead for vet care. In Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, west of Quebec City, the delay to see a vet for deworming medication has grown so long that breeder Marie Côté says her border collie puppies are thinner and growing more slowly. Her vet ignored her calls for weeks. Only after she went on TV to complain, she says, did she get results: “I got my medication the next day.”

The last two years have seen an unprecedented escalation in a decades-long war on the American past. But there are lots of logical flaws in attacking prior generations in U.S. history.
Critics assume their own judgmental generation is morally superior to those of the past. So, they use their own standards to condemn the mute dead who supposedly do not measure up to them.
Yet 21st-century critics rarely acknowledge their own present affluence and leisure owe much to history’s prior generations whose toil helped create their current comfort.

After being AWOL since before the holiday break, Ontario Premier Doug Ford emerged on Dec. 28 to let everyone know a decision might be made soonish. That is nowhere near good enough. The return to school, at least in the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, is Jan. 3. People needed time to get organized, and prepare mentally for whatever would be coming, even if we didn’t know all the details of what that was. We have enough stress dealing with the stuff we know about, there is no excuse to add to the anxiety by leaving millions of us, including the kids, to spin our wheels.

“As of now, we have more children that died from the COVID vaccine than COVID itself. And then for the Health Department to come out and say the new variant has all the side effects of the vaccine reactions we’re currently seeing now. It’s maddening, and I don’t understand why more people don’t see it,” Collette Martin, a practicing nurse, told a Louisiana Health and Welfare hearing this month.

The Trudeau government has set the quota for immigration intake to Canada at 831,000 during the period of 2022-2023.
Drilling down on these numbers reveals that 208,000 will qualify for Canada’s family reunification category. Under Canadian immigration policy, “family” refers to the following:
Spouses, same sex partners, common law partners, conjugal partners, children. parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, grand-daughters, grand-sons.
A further 121,500 will enter Canada as refugees.
After a tumultuous year of broken promises from a flip-flopping Premier and a snap election that benefited no one, nearly half of Albertans now believe their province would be “better off” as its own country.
Canada has seen its share of weird, heartless and even contradictory COVID restrictions over the past two years, all in the name of keeping us safe.
With another holiday season upon us and government lockdowns coming down yet again, True North has gathered together some of the strangest and most heartless restrictions and recommendations from across the country.

Science has undergone a radical metamorphosis. People with M.D. or Ph.D. degrees, who have published hundreds of papers in the scientific literature, have suddenly become “anti-science” – as judged by media personalities, politicians, bureaucrats and fact-checkers. What does this mean? One clue: chief White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci, M.D, said that anyone who attacked him was attacking “science.”
“A customer came into one of our locations [Tuesday] and bought a Let’s Go Brandon sticker and went out to his car and stuck it over his Biden sticker,” Lambert said, according to Fox Business. “And that was it, he was just like, ‘I’m done with this guy.’”
The Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota and member of President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 Advisory Board appeared on MSNBC Thursday morning to discuss the sharp rise in coronavirus cases brought about by the Omicron variant and new CDC guidelines that shorten the recommended time to quarantine for asymptomatic individuals following a positive test.

Owing to reports of deaths and other ‘adverse health events’ triggered by vaccines produced by a handful of pharmaceutical giants, most notably Pfizer and Moderna, South Koreans are taking to the streets to protest their governments’ refusal to acknowledge thousands of deaths that many believe were caused by vaccines.
