We are now down to the final countdown for history being made once again in outer space!
On Thursday afternoon, NASA’s Mars 2020/Perseverance Rover will complete its 292.5 million-mile journey to the Red Planet and land on the Jezero Crater on Mars in a dried up lake bed. This was a mission that began with a successful launch on July 30, 2020 from Cape Canaveral, FL.
In response to the pandemic, politicians in Ottawa set up an emergency wage subsidy scheme that was meant to help workers. But some of Canada’s biggest firms have milked the subsidy scheme for billions while paying out dividends and laying off staff.
On Wednesday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took a swipe at Texas political leaders, propounding that the suffering Texans are experiencing because of the freezing cold and concomitant power outages could have been addressed by her “Green New Deal.”
If you asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau whether Xi was a communist, he wouldn’t admit it.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates admitted that 2.8 million Americans working in the oil and gas industry would be negatively affected due to Climate Change policies.
Justin Trudeau claims “diversity is our strength,” but the educational landscape in Canada is anything but diverse, a new report from the Association for Reformed Political Action Canada says.
With the 2020 election in the rear-view mirror, it is timely to focus on election politics for 2022 and beyond. The first step is pattern recognition: The Democrats are pursuing a multi-prong strategy to cement a permanent majority. To accomplish the goal requires upending the constitutional design. Until the scope of this effort is seen in its entirety, it can proceed in the shadows.
It has six astonishing elements:

Millions of Australians are waking up to discover they can no longer access any news content on Facebook, after the tech giant decided to ban articles from its platform.
The move is in response to the country’s proposed Media Bargaining law, which forces tech companies like Facebook and Google to negotiate with news providers to feature their content.
Those in favour of the law say the rules are needed to ‘protect public interest journalism’ by making sure outlets are paid for content social media and search engine users read and share.
Rush Limbaugh was one of the greatest figures of the last half-century and he could personally take credit for millions of people becoming conservative. He was a legend, an icon and he will be missed. In honor of a great man, here are Rush’s 20 greatest quotes.
A few days ago, I caught up with elected MP for Hastings—Lennox and Addington, Derek Sloan. Dubbed a Conservative Without Apology, Sloan was recently removed from Erin O’Toole’s (progressive) Conservative caucus. Sloan speculates that the cause was an issue with his grassroots conservatism advocacy, which did not always toe the PC’s party line, especially as the party has gotten less and less conservative.
According to a document published by the government, the new legislation Bill C-21 will “Update the criminal code to ensure that any device, including an unregulated airgun that looks exactly like a conventional regulated firearm (i.e., shoots over 500 feet per second), is prohibited for the purposes of import, export, sale and transfer.”
The Canadian advisory committee on immunisation has said the government should prioritise adults from “racialised communities” for the “second stage” of the country’s Wuhan coronavirus vaccination plan.
So it’s okay for everyone to live in mono-racial communities, and we’ll be have special laws and rules for entitlement benefits? Cool!
Just the beginning & the Muslim Brotherhood, HAMAS, Hizbollah, ISIS, al-Qaeda, CAIR, MAS, MPAC, MSA, Emgage, et al know that America will one day be theirs.
Not only have freezing temperatures created an excessive draw on the power grid as residents struggle to keep warm, but generating electricity has also become a major issue for areas that rely on sources such as solar and wind power.
You can always tell when something is a bit off when politicians avoid an opportunity to gain popularity.
What I mean by this is that all the polls show China’s government is horrendously unpopular among Canadians, with up to 90% of the country having a negative view.
Similarly, about 80% want Huawei banned.
And an almost-equal number want Canada to pursue trade partners other than China and reduce our dependence on China.
So, getting tough on China would be an easy way for the federal government to score political points.
They would be both standing up for the country, and boosting their own political fortunes.
The bill is part of broader French efforts to fight extremism in recent years that gained new urgency after a teacher was beheaded in October and other attacks. President Emmanuel Macron says the efforts are also needed to protect French values like gender equality and secularism from encroaching fundamentalism in some communities.

I was banned by Twitter this week. Trust me, if you’re a conservative or a patriot, read this story carefully. Because you’re next.
Canada will fail to hit immigration targets for a second straight year as border restrictions remain in place, according to one of the nation’s top banks.
The country will probably welcome closer to 275,000 new permanent residents this year, versus a target of 401,000, Royal Bank of Canada economist Andrew Agopsowicz said in a report Tuesday. Last year, Canadian immigration dropped by almost half to 184,370, its lowest levels in more than two decades.
