The Pandora Papers, the latest leak of offshore financial records, don’t seem to have a particular focus on Canada — at least based on what has been revealed so far.
But they nonetheless shed light on a global network of illicit financial flows of which “Canada is a hub,” says James Cohen, executive director of the Canadian chapter of Transparency International.

Molnupiravir (mull-noo-’peer-aveer) is the talk of the town, belle of the ball in the press. “Game changer” is the word on the street, according to a message to Science Insider:
“Molnupiravir is unquestionably a game changer! The large effect size, and the ease of administration change the paradigm of mild COVID-19 treatment with a potential to reduce COVID-19 death rates.”
The economic effects from the COVID-19 pandemic are squeezing businesses struggling to find workers as ongoing labour shortages continue to stall certain sectors.
Businesses both big and small say they are struggling to find staff and employers have been offering more incentives to attract workers such as higher wages, bonuses, and flexible hours.
The Canadian government is considering new rules to regulate how social media platforms moderate potentially harmful user-generated content. Already, the proposed legislation has been criticized by internet scholars — across the political spectrum — as some of the worst in the world.
Over 10,000 doctors and scientists have signed the “Rome Declaration” accusing covid policymakers of crimes against humanity for blocking early treatment.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he hopes to share a decision on whether to ban Huawei from Canada’s 5G network in the coming weeks.
Canadian taxpayers coughed up $42,000 to pay for former Liberal MP Catherine McKenna’s “climate change” farewell tour that saw her jet set 22,600 kilometres across Canada.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, McKenna’s plane guzzled tens of thousands of litres of aviation fuel as she was telling Canadians to change their habits to combat climate change.
“We need to reduce air pollution. Consider that the transportation sector represents a quarter of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions,” McKenna lectured Canadians in Edmonton on July 27.
Between July 24 and August 4, McKenna and her staffers got to fly from Ottawa to Toronto and Vancouver, even reaching Iqaluit and Pangnirtung.
Dr. Rochagné Kilian recently resigned as an emergency room and family practice physician due to her concerns that the Ontario health system and Grey Bruce Health Services (GBHS) crossed ethical lines throughout the pandemic.
In a virtual meeting that included GBHS CEO Gary Sims and other staff members, Dr. Kilian asked Sims a series of questions about what she believes is unethical behaviour on behalf of the Ontario health system at all levels. Sims appeared to be unprepared for difficult questions pertaining to the ongoing rollout of vaccination mandates and vaccine segregation restrictions the Ontario heath system is championing.
Kilian estimated that 80 percent of the patients she saw in the ER during the past month who had inexplicable symptoms were “double vaxxed.”
The more he doubles-down on shifting the party left, the more support they will lose to the PPC. Yet, if he tries to shift back to the right, his credibility is severely damaged from his previous abandonment of the ‘True Blue’ persona.

The practice of catching and then releasing illegal aliens at the southern border has risen by an unbelievable 430,000 percent over last August under Joe Biden. In August of 2020, when Donald Trump was still in control, the U.S. Border Patrol caught and released ten illegals.
But what a difference a year makes. In August of this year, Biden’s U.S. Border Patrol arrested 195,000 illegals and released 43,941 of them. That is a rise of 439,410 percent!
On Tuesday, lawyer Ben Crump, who represents the Floyd family, called on Abbott to “act swiftly” to approve the pardon but also to enact reforms to prevent what happened to Floyd from happening to other people of color, The Washington Post reported.
“This drug charge, which led to George Floyd’s conviction based on false evidence, helped to unravel his life,” Crump said in a statement. “Similarly, tens of thousands of Black lives are ruined by a criminal justice system that uses the war on drugs to target Black people, force them into felony pleas, incarcerate them, take away their voting rights, and destroy their families.”
Before a Del Rio, Texas, migrant camp of 15,000 briefly captured national and White House attention, another volcanic rupture point in the southern border fault line was already flaring: this one in Yuma, Ariz.
In a sign that the Department of Homeland Security sees the Yuma Sector as poised to blow even more out of control, agents in other still-beleaguered sectors have been called in to help process an international medley of migrants streaming through this desert wilderness on the California-Arizona state line. Swells of border-crossers have forced the government to establish temporary tent shelters to process many of the illegal migrants into the country.

When was the last time you stated a thought like, “At least we haven’t completely lost our republic,” and followed that with a quickly stated, “Knock on wood,” looking for a wooden object or knocking your forehead as an easy substitute? Or made a wish when blowing out candles on your birthday cake? Or carried a rabbit’s foot or other favored item for good luck? Many of us follow these practices and sometimes even realize that we do them playfully, without an expectation for results. Mostly. These wishes and desires are a form of “magical thinking” and are relatively harmless in most situations. But I propose that in this time of COVID-19, magical thinking has infected the worldwide population.
Legal Insurrection readers may recall that House Republicans demanded answers about the “dramatic change” in how top scientists first talked about the coronavirus in July.
The representatives noted that initial discussions included assessments that SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) had features that “(potentially) look engineered” to calling it a “crackpot theory” a few days later. They focused specifically on a still-secretive teleconference call with Dr. Anthony Fauci and other scientists.
According to a network statement, the CBC and five subsidized press associations pledged to “advocate for initiatives to reduce if not prevent online harm,” according to a network statement. The advocacy comes ahead of internet censorship bills by Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault, including a proposal to block websites and appoint a chief censor called the Digital Safety Commissioner.
According to an insider, who has known R Kelly for decades, “[R Kelly] and his team are working with the feds to reduce his prison time. He’ll provide evidence against other celebrities who were pedophiles, and they’ll reduce his sentence.”
