“Canada should not be taking the COVAX vaccine from poor nations to alleviate political pressures at home. Receiving one or two million doses isn’t going to solve Canada’s vaccination challenges and it is going to cause harm elsewhere in the world for the poorest and most marginalized people,” Sarosi said in a statement.
Democrats are acting really smug these days. They think that having control of the whole show lets them do as they please. They forget that the laws of physics can’t be broken, even by George Soros. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Then there is the law of Karma. The one that works out to “what comes around goes around.” They may want to think twice before opening Pandora’s box on impeachment because it could come back to haunt Hillary Clinton, just to pick one name from the hat. If Trump can be impeached retroactively, she can too. So can Eric Holder and Barack Obama. Democrats are warned to be careful what they ask for because they might get it.
Alberta MLA Drew Barnes is calling for a referendum on independence when Albertans go to the polls next, going beyond the equalization referendum promised by Premier Jason Kenney. Barnes tells True North’s Andrew Lawton an independence referendum would give the province bargaining power with the federal government, and if negotiations are unsuccessful put the province in a position to seek a future outside of Confederation. Would you support such a ballot question?
Alberta – Texas Freedom Corridor now!
Over the years, I’ve developed a serious nag with the frozen breakfast burrito. Sure, you can wrap some stuff in a tortilla, stick it in the freezer, microwave the hell out of it the next day, and eat it.
It’ll be okay. Of course, it won’t be as good as a fresh one, and if you’re stuck with a freezer full of them, you might lose interest over time.
My real problem with the frozen breakfast burrito is the tortilla. If you are microwaving the burrito, by the time the filling is thawed and hot, the tortilla is a nightmare. It’s either tough and leathery or soggy.
There is an easy solution to this, which for some reason, I hadn’t considered until recently. It’s these Make Ahead Breakfast Burrito Pouches! You just freeze the filling! Then you microwave that and make the burrito fresh in the morning.
It’s still really fast and tastes about as fresh as a frozen burrito can taste. It’s AWESOME.
The $6.6-billion pipeline is designed to carry natural gas, obtained by hydraulic fracturing — also known as fracking — in northeastern B.C., to a $40-billion LNG terminal on the province’s North Coast for export to Asia.
The federal government’s plans for a mass-vaccination campaign to start in April were thrown off when Health Canada approved the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines sooner than expected, leaving Ottawa scrambling to secure vaccines earlier with little success.
In December of 2018 in Vancouver, Canada arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. extradition warrant. China responded by taking captive Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. As Solarina Ho of CTV News reports, Trudeau has spoken to Joe Biden about the case and “should the U.S. withdraw its charges against Meng, it could give China a reason to release Kovrig and Spavor,” now in their third year of captivity.
A bill passed by the Virginia House on Thursday requires five public colleges and universities to offer scholarships or economic development programs to the descendants of slaves who labored on the campuses.
The renowned historian H. G. Wells once said of Joseph Stalin, “I like Uncle Joe very much. He’s a great man.” That would be a terrific motto to replace the outmoded slogan of slavery and white supremacy, “In God We Trust,” that is currently emblazoned behind the podium of the Speaker of the House. Now that Stalinist show trials have come to Congress, we all like Uncle Joe very much. Or else. And you have to give them credit: this impeach-a-private-citizen-because-we-hate-him business opens up a whole universe of sparkling new possibilities. Yesterday I offered a list of five presidents who must be impeached now, but that’s just the beginning.
A Tech columnist for The New York Times urged the Biden administration Tuesday to tackle the avalanche of misinformation flooding the internet, cable and broadcast news.
And the columnist, Kevin Roose, even suggested how to do it (and no, it wasn’t by banning CNN and MSNBC).
He proposed that the president appoint a “reality czar” to lead a task force that would separate fact from fiction.
“This task force could also meet regularly with tech platforms and push for structural changes that could help those companies tackle their own extremism and misinformation problems,” Roose wrote.
Liberal political activist David Hogg announced he is starting a pillow company to compete with MyPillow, which vocal Trump supporter Mike Lindell owns.
Delhi Police has filed a case of sedition against unknown persons in connection with toolkit tweeted by Greta Thunberg to mobilise protesters in support of agitating farmers.
In an effort to ensure effective fulfillment of the Biden Administration’s climate science objectives for NASA, the agency has established a new position of senior climate advisor and selected Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, to serve in the role in an acting capacity until a permanent appointment is made.

A Republican leader has decided to take on Big Tech. It’s high time. While other Republican legislators complain and pontificate about Twitter, Facebook and Google’s interference in our elections and censoring of conservative voices, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared war on the tech giants.
Between July 24 and Oct. 22, Canada signed deals to pre-order seven COVID-19 vaccines. Here’s a brief look at what we know about those vaccines, listed by manufacturer.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has been all over the news this week following a lengthy Instagram live in which she recounted her experiences during the January 6 riots in Washington, DC. She posted the video to her YouTube channel with the title “February 1, 2021 Instagram Live: What Happened at the Capitol.”
Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the military commander leading vaccine logistics at the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), said today Canada doesn’t know how many Moderna doses will arrive in the weeks ahead and the company hasn’t said why it has reduced shipments to our country.
Speaking to reporters at a public health briefing, Fortin said 180,000 Moderna doses arrived this morning but the government has no “visibility” on how many more shots will be delivered this month and next.
CNN is attempting to cozy up Americans to the idea of masks sticking around for the long run, likening them in an article Wednesday to a best friend whom people “cherish and appreciate for a good, long time.” The piece addresses questions individuals who receive a vaccine for the Chinese coronavirus will likely ask.
In a tweet, Day noted only Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has voiced any form of discomfort with the detentions, that have happened in at least Calgary and Toronto.
Let’s start by acknowledging something that may seem unlikely, even impossible, today: it’s still possible that the federal government’s vaccine procurement strategy is going to work out just fine.
The United Kingdom just left the European Union because it wanted to exercise its right as a sovereign nation. Surely Canada can follow the same principle and leave the monarchy behind.
Seattle Public Schools will spend the week promoting Black Lives Matter lesson plans to students. Teachers have the green light to editorialize the content to their captive students.
Educators are told that no matter their student’s age, “they’re not too young to talk about race.” In fact, “silence about race reinforces racism.” They’re even warned that “treating everyone the same may be unintentionally oppressive.”
For reasons unknown, there are still raging debates over whether or not to reopen schools. Simultaneously, schools in states like Georgia and Florida have been open since the fall and managed to keep the children whose parents want them to attend school in person open most of the time. Where they have not been prohibited, private schools opened nationwide. Multiple studies in the U.S. have shown that transmission of COVID-19 is minimal in the school setting, supported by data across the globe.
If passed into law, the Responsible Education for Adolescent and Children’s Health, or REACH Act would start sex ed in kindergarten through second grade with lessons on personal safety and respecting others. Grades 3-5 would cover anatomy, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. Grades 6-12 would build upon that and include benefits of abstinence, birth control and prevention of STDs.
The survey published Tuesday shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has come with what they are calling an ‘infodemic’, an overabundance of information, some true and some false.
“So that makes it very difficult for people to find facts and reliable sources,” Nicole Minnema, Analysis Project Manager with Statistics Canada, told CityNews.
“The untrue part of that is what we classify as misinformation which is false or inaccurate information which sometimes is intended to deliberately deceive.”
