The lawsuit alleges that Trump and the others “conspired to incite an assembled crowd to march upon and enter the Capitol of the United States for the common purpose of disrupting” the counting of Electoral College votes on Jan. 6—the day that thousands of Trump supporters laid siege to the U.S. Capitol Complex following a speech by the 45th president at the White House Ellipse.
Many gun-control advocates have pressed for a national handgun ban, warning that leaving it up to municipalities would create an ineffective patchwork of regulations.
As expected, the long-promised bill also proposes a buyback of a wide array of recently banned firearms the government considers assault-style weapons.
“I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time,” Gates said during an interview with MIT Technology Review. “Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand.”
The federal Liberal government tabled its long-awaited firearms bill today, including red flag confiscation powers, the possibility for municipal handgun bans and new rules for possession of the 1,500 firearm variants the government banned last May.
Few events in history have contributed more to shaping Black Canadian collective consciousness than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s blackface incident and the killing of George Floyd.
Calls for the 2022 Olympics to be moved or boycotted due to the mass-interment of China’s Uyghur minority has increased in recent months. Evidence of forced labour and mass-sexual violence recently lead the United States to declare the situation to be a genocide.
On February 12, the first lady posted a pic to Twitter of her latest secret errand to pick up some “Valentine’s treats” from The Sweet Lobby, a Black-owned bakery in Washington, D.C. “Dropped by @TheSweetLobby earlier to pick up some Valentine’s treats for the weekend,” Biden tweeted. “Shhh – don’t tell Joe!”
Insanity Wrap needs to know: When Joe Biden endorsed “commonsense gun law reforms,” what did he really mean?
Answer: The most radical set of eliminations, restrictions, fees, and punishments ever even considered in American history.
We have gone from 15 days to slow the spread to 333 days with COVID still active, along with new strains. We went from only those most vulnerable should wear masks in March, to we’re masking up until 2022 to “save lives”. Candidate Biden blamed Trump for COVID deaths and poor response to the pandemic, and said he would work to create a plan to end the pandemic. Apparently plans to end the pandemic have been put on pause, if not given up altogether. What we have is forever pandemic language, with its symbol being normalizing Mask wearing—and maybe wearing several.
The pharmaceutical industry, government health authorities, and the media insist the new vaccines are safe and effective. While the initial results are promising, this is not the whole truth. Both honesty and acknowledging ignorance require answering a few questions.

Crevatin said her mother was escorted out of the hospital by security after a nurse “caught” her reaching out to hold her husband’s hand shortly after the move to the fifth floor.
“Most of the nurses in that unit were fantastic and very understanding, but there was a couple that were very into just …following the rules,” she said.
“They’ve been married for 60 years. It’s very hard for my mother not to hold his hand, not to go up close to him, to touch him — especially since that’s our only form of communication with him.”
When the nurse asked her mother to return to her chair, two metres away, she did but Crevatin said two security guards were still called and they escorted her mother out of the hospital.
It is bizarre for a Vice President to be making contact with key world leaders just weeks into a new administration.
Though many believed they would wait a little longer, it was only a matter of time before President Joe Biden and his Democrat-controlled Congress turned their focus to “gun control.”
It makes sense that they would start now, as many pundits and experts believe that Republicans have a strong chance of taking back the House next year, which would effectively kill the progressive, anti-gun caucus from passing ridiculous legislation that typically only hurts law-abiding gun owners.
China has a long history of persecution against religious and ethnic minorities and women. Canadians should be very concerned about China’s disregard for human rights.
Despite China’s atrocious human rights record, Canada still plans to attend the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and refuses to label China’s treatment of Uyghurs as a genocide. Instead of condemning the regime, the Canadian government has been relatively silent.
Mattea Merta says Canada must stand up to the Chinese regime in order to protect our own rights and freedoms.
People in the U.K. with learning disabilities have been told they will not receive resuscitation if they contract COVID-19, according to learning disability charity Mencap.
In a bombshell new video, the Senate Majority Leader in Michigan, Mike Shirkey, is secretly recorded confessing that the January 6 U.S. Capitol takeover was “staged” in order to secure an impeachment against President Trump.
He went on to claim that, not only was it “pre-arranged”, but Mitch McConnell was “part of it”.
Legislation implementing the buy-back program would make good on a commitment the government made in May in response to the mass shooting in Portapique, N.S., that left 22 people and the gunman dead.
Between April 1 and Sept. 30 there are 26 weeks, meaning the provinces will have to put at least two million doses per week into the arms of Canadians.
Wind farms across the state generate up to a combined 25,100 megawatts of energy. But unusually moist winter conditions in West Texas brought on by the weekend’s freezing rain and historically low temperatures have iced many of those wind turbines to a halt.
Over its lifespan between late March and October of last year, the CERB paid out nearly $82 billion to 8.9 million people whose incomes crashed because they saw their hours slashed or lost their jobs entirely.
Some three million people lost their jobs in March and April as non-essential businesses were ordered closed, and 2.5 million more worked less than half their usual hours.
The data from Employment and Social Development Canada show that 6.5 million people received the $500-a-week CERB during the first four weeks it was available, or more than one in five Canadians over age 15.
What emerges from that initial wave is a largely rural-urban split, with higher proportions of populations relying on the CERB in cities compared to rural parts of the country.
