Federal government unveils “assault-style” firearm buy-back program plans

Banff-Airdrie MP Blake Richards questioned the firearm buy-back program as it failed to not only take into account the perspective of rural residents, but also lacked clarity on the tangible safety it will provide and the full cost of the program.

“The idea that somehow taking guns out of the hands of law-abiding firearms owners will somehow make a difference in crime is absolutely a ludicrous suggestion to make,” Richards said. “Criminals are the ones that are using guns and crimes, they don’t obtain their guns legally— They smuggle them, they get them in other illegal fashions. This will do nothing to address crime.”

Peak Cancel Culture? Don’t Bet on It

Here’s a question that I do not know the answer to: Is the current insanity of “cancel culture” cresting or just getting started?

Swiss ‘burqa ban’ vote on a knife-edge

Switzerland voted Sunday on whether to ban full facial coverings in public places, with the result on a knife-edge, according to early projections.

After the polling stations closed at midday (1100 GMT), public broadcaster SSR and pollsters gfs.bern both projected that 51 percent had voted in favour of the ban.

Hundreds of anti-lockdown protesters clash with police in Stockholm as they take to the streets in defiance of Sweden’s Covid ban on gatherings

Swedish police dispersed opponents of coronavirus measures that came after the government – which initially took a hands-off approach to Covid-19 rules – tightened restrictions further as cases continue to rise.

The tighter measures come after Sweden this week reported a ten percent rise in the number of Covid-19 cases for a third week in a row, increasing fears that the country is in its third wave of the virus.

Vaccine passport for international travel ‘very live’ discussion among G7 countries: Hajdu

While Hajdu wouldn’t say if it’s an idea Canada is pushing for—requiring some form of proof of vaccination to travel to Canada—she said other nations and industry groups are looking into the kind of evidence or documentation that could be requested in order to travel internationally.

Meet the woman on a mission to have retailers commit 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned brands

Aurora James was frustrated when she would go to stores and see a lack of Black-owned brands on shelves. It was out of that frustration that the fashion designer decided she needed to be a part of the solution by disrupting business as usual.

“I was so fed up as a woman and a woman of color, being disappointed by the choices that people or companies were making. But I also realized that I failed in a lot of ways to really ask for what I needed,” James told CBS News’ Michelle Miller.

In the aftermath of George Floyd’s killing, she took to Instagram and demanded major retailers commit 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned brands, creating the initiative the “15 Percent Pledge.” “Black people in the U.S. make up nearly 15% of the population,” its website says.

Media Using Same ‘Anonymous Sources’ Tactic for Capitol Hill Riot That Propelled Russia Hoax

Over the last four years, countless anti-Trump stories in the news relied on anonymous sources. The term ‘according to sources’ has become a punchline, and people in media are the only ones who don’t get the joke. They used this dishonest tactic to push the debunked Steele dossier, the Russia collusion lie, and more.

A behind-the-scenes look at why Canada delayed 2nd doses of COVID-19 vaccines

Canada is now an outlier in the global vaccination rollout. No other country in the world has delayed second doses up to four months, and there is no evidence yet on the long-term effect it could have on immunity to COVID-19.

Religion vs. State Day 2: should churches in B.C. really be closed?

On Tuesday, I went back to the Vancouver courts to report on the second day of a Supreme Court of British Columbia hearing, where Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson is set to rule on a legal challenge that was filed by the the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. The JCCF is challenging the B.C. government’s restrictions against peaceful protests and in-person worship services.

@erinotoole is a flip-flopping, centre-left Red Tory.

I called it the day after he was elected leader. @erinotoole is a flip-flopping, centre-left Red Tory. His ‘true blue’ mask has fallen. He’s quickly losing support.

New York City: Trump Supporters Parade Attacked By ANTIFA Types

On Friday, supporters of former President Donald Trump held a parade in New York City, and as usual, while they were peacefully assembling they were met by counter-protesters. The event featured the a 50-foot “Trump 2024” flag, and a march from Trump Tower down to Times Square, but things got heated after the anti-Trump haters, supported by Democrats and mainstream news media types, clashed with them and I am certain the Trump supporters will get 100% of the blame.

Sloan: The Great Purge Has Begun

When I was ejected from the Conservative caucus, I made it clear the controversy wasn’t just about me, but about silencing the many thousands of voices like mine within the party, and in society.

They want people like me to vote and donate to the party, but otherwise to sit down and shut-up. It’s why the party got so upset when I started encouraging my followers to attend the upcoming Conservative Convention. They are scared that strong Conservatives will actually take action against the Red-Tory, Liberal-lite leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada.

Inside Hong Kong’s lockdown prison

She had barely rolled down her sleeve after receiving her Covid vaccination, when Carrie Lam started declaring her gratitude to the government in Beijing. Lam, Hong Kong’s friendless Chief Executive, does this kind of thing a lot. When talking about the virus, she stresses the benevolence of her masters, who claim to have suppressed Covid at home and are spreading their efforts far and wide to suppress it elsewhere. China is clearly hoping to extinguish the memory of where this pandemic came from in the first place.
