Canada sits at a pandemic crossroads. Second waves are receding thanks to successful lockdowns and restrictions. Reopening of schools and economies without meaningful improvements in surveillance or containment is set to intersect with emerging variants of concern and vaccine shortages, creating a perfect storm for a massive third wave.
A group of leading international law experts has defined a new super-crime.
They’re calling it “ecocide”.
They plan to submit a draft of their new law to the governing body of the International Criminal Court, in the hope that the ICC will adopt it for future prosecutions.
The allegation stems from a tweet by Jennifer Lynn Lawrence which was used by Democrats to allege she was calling for an insurrection. In reality, Lawerence says the tweet was a reference to a prayer vigil and had nothing to do with the violence at the Capitol.
Now, Justin Trudeau is no lawyer, as everyone knows. His mauling of the Rule of Law during the SNC-Lavalin scandal – his obstruction of justice therein – made that pretty crystal-clear. But he sure has a lawyer’s enthusiasm for process, doesn’t he?
Actual results? Nope. Not his thing. Trudeau prefers to over-promise and under-deliver. Always. It’s stamped on his DNA.
Facebook recently announced new COVID-19 misinformation community standards – a list of criteria for posts that the tech giant will remove.
Some of the posts Facebook is targeting include those claiming COVID-19 is no more dangerous than the flu and posts claiming that deaths are much lower than official figures.
New restrictions for incoming travellers will come into effect on Feb. 22, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Friday — including a fresh hotel quarantine requirement.
Fair is fair — they bought the candidate and the office. Now they want the spoils delivered, and have grown tired of waiting for them. The Daily Beast reports that Joe Biden’s big donors believe they have gotten frozen out of the traditional envoy rewards that come with high-dollar investments in presidential campaigns, calling the silence so far “bullshit”.
The article titled “Types of Masks” examines the “many” types of masks Americans can wear, highlighting cloth masks, disposable masks, and KN95 masks, specifically.
Under the section on cloth masks, the CDC recommends that people select a covering that has “multiple layers of tightly woven” fabric and a nose wire, giving similar recommendations for disposable masks. Under both, the CDC recommends that people wear the masks “anytime you are indoors or outdoors with people you don’t live with”.
In an appearance at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, Biden told staff “You know that wearing this mask through the next year here can save lives, a significant number of lives.”
Mumbling through his own mask, Biden also blamed President Trump for the vaccine roll out being delayed.
Trump’s defense has up to 16 hours to present their case. On Friday, the defense team argued that Democrats have incited violence. The defense played video clips of Democrats’ speeches about fighting in the Trump era. After showing harsh rhetoric from Democrats, Trump’s defense queued up footage of the violent protests that happened last year after the death of George Floyd.
Fifth-grade students at William D. Kelley School were tasked with completing an assignment that described Davis as a “black communist,” and that focused on Davis’ fight against “injustice and inequality,” Rufo reported, based on whistleblower documents and a source within the school.
Robert F Kennedy Jr has been banned from Instagram for what the company said was repeatedly sharing misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines.
Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the military commander leading Canada’s vaccine logistics, said today that pharmaceutical giant Pfizer will significantly ramp up its deliveries of doses next month.
Fortin said 444,000 Pfizer doses will be delivered each week for the first two weeks of March.
While those delivery figures are significantly higher than the amounts Canada has been receiving in recent weeks — only 70,000 Pfizer doses were delivered this week, for example — they raise questions about the government’s ability to hit Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s promised target of six million doses delivered by the end of March.
Twitter has permanently suspended the investigative reporting outlet Project Veritas which recently published several leaked videos exposing executives from Big Tech companies discussing censorship, “hate speech,” and more.
Mexican police officers were arrested last week and charged in the killing of more than a dozen Guatemalan migrants on the way to the United States.
Their bodies were shot and burned near the U.S. border in a violence-riddled corridor frequently used by smugglers.
Such tragedies are not uncommon. Mexican police particularly at the state and local level have often been accused of exploiting and killing migrants. Criminal organizations routinely prey on vulnerable people who are often smuggled through violent and cartel-controlled areas.
The left often paints amnesty as a humanitarian act, but clearly, the facts paint a darker reality. Promises of mass legalization and weakened enforcement lead to these tragedies.
But pushing amnesty and permitting catch-and-release in the middle of a pandemic will lead to far greater human misery with the spread of COVID-19.
Snapchat’s editorial team has complete control over Discover content. They carefully hand-select radical leftist propaganda to be placed right before your child’s eyes.
When Canada unveiled new details of its open work permit scheme for Hongkongers this month, it framed the action as part of a defence of democratic values, against Beijing’s “controversial national security law”.
Canada stood “shoulder to shoulder with the people of Hong Kong”, and the new scheme showed Ottawa’s “solidarity with other like-minded allies”, said Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino.
But the programme, first announced in November, also represents one of the opening salvoes in a contest among Western countries to attract talented young people from Hong Kong, amid the city’s political upheaval.
Immigration experts on both sides of the Pacific said they were greatly surprised by the Canadian scheme’s scope, calling it “huge” and “remarkable”.
Let’s see. Let’s not forget that we currently also have the purge of the armed forces to root out those defined as extremists on the right. It’s not the same as a personal loyalty oath to the leader that was required of the German military under Hitler, but it’s a way to make sure our military is composed of people unlikely to turn on the left no matter what.
Suing technology firms when they mess up is already hard, especially when it’s over privacy violations. Now, Facebook, Google, and the trade groups representing all the big tech firms are asking the Supreme Court to make it even harder for class actions to pursue cases against them.
Facebook, Google, and all the others submitted a filing (PDF) to the Supreme Court this week essentially arguing that if you cannot prove the specific extent to which their screwup injured you, you should not have any grounds to be part of a lawsuit against them.
