Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos says Canadians should get a COVID booster shot every nine months so that their vaccination status stays “up-to-date.”
“What exactly do we mean by up-to-date vaccination? Let me be very clear: Up-to-date means you’ve received your last dose in the past nine months,” said Duclos in a press conference on June 30.
“If you’ve already received a first booster, that’s great, and please see if you’re eligible for a second or a third booster to remain up-to-date.”
Canada’s commandos are getting a new pistol but the exact type is now considered a state secret.
Except to anyone, that is, who has access to the internet and can read details about the Canadian special forces’ $680,425 purchase of the SIG Sauer P320 handgun.
The federal government has signed a $20-billion final settlement agreement to compensate First Nations children and families harmed by chronic underfunding of child welfare on reserve, which Indigenous Services Canada said Monday was the largest such deal in Canadian history.
The Trudeau government has approved a plan requested by Quebec to ship asylum claimants who illegally cross into Canada via Roxham Road into Ontario cities such as Niagara Falls and Ottawa.
Quebec authorities have pleaded with Ottawa in recent months to alleviate the stress the influx of migrants has caused for the province.
COVID-19 cases are on the rise again in Canada, and the blame lies with the two rapidly spreading Omicron sub-variants, also known as BA.4 and BA.5 variants.
First detected in South Africa in April this year, its ability to spread more rapidly than other circulating variants, primarily BA.2, has led scientists to predict its prevalence as the dominant variant in the coming months.
Canadian researchers examining the threat from emerging strains of COVID-19 predicted that Omicron BA.5 would account for nearly 70 percent of cases by Canada Day. the latest data from the Public Health Agency of Canadadating back to June 12, shows that BA.5 accounted for 20.4 percent of COVID-19 cases.
Canadian supporters of Israel and the Palestinians clashed in the Thornhill suburb of Toronto on Friday in front of a shopping plaza with mainly Kosher stores.
According to Melissa Lantsman, a member of Parliament representing Thornhill, pro-Palestinian protesters had gathered at the plaza and harassed Jewish shoppers. Video shared by the MP showed protesters waving Israeli flags and chanting slogans in front of the shops.

“Shabbat Shalom bitches.” Well that’s a new one.
As I remarked in my earlier post Islamist hate is no longer imported it’s now homegrown.
These charming “anti-zionists” are likely 2nd perhaps even 3rd generation Mohammedans.
They aren’t indoctrinated in secret or by accident.
They did not pick it up in a schoolyard, in an alley or haphazardly on the internet.
Wearing masks obviously didn’t shield them from Islam’s inherent anti-Semitism.
They swim in it. It’s the air they breathe.
Family, community, Mosque. Our so called institutions of higher learning.
This will not end well.
Europe is the petri-dish we need to be watching.
In general it isn’t 1st generation Muslim immigrants who become terrorists. It is the 2nd and 3rd generations.
Europe’s experience is our future and a warning that will likely go unheeded.
Thank your government.
Diversity über alles.
We must all be grateful that another Canada Day has passed, and Ottawa is still standing.

The Canadian government’s massive annual donations of foreign aid to Third World countries is one of the most overlooked issues in our country.
From the point of view of a debt and inflation-ridden society, the situation is absurd. While Canada has been bogged down by an economically damaging pandemic, billions of dollars have flowed from government coffers to so-called “developing nations.”
It wasn’t a good week if you’re a consumer on a tight budget – and that means most of us. Consumers are under attack.
We’ve just learned that Canada’s food inflation rate was at a record 9.7% in May. Everyone is noticing higher food prices and no section of the grocery store is immune.
The Canadian Armed Forces didn’t have the “assets” to safely help clear the blockade in Coutts, Alta. earlier this year, while the Alberta government had the authority to deal with the problem itself under provincial legislation, Public Safety Canada told the emergency preparedness minister.
The briefing note was prepared by the department for Bill Blair in February, and obtained by the National Post through Access to Information. It was reacting to a letter from the Alberta government, asking for federal government help to clear the blockade at the border crossing in Coutts that began in support of the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa.
The RCMP’s recent discovery of thousands of counterfeit toonies has raised concerns about the integrity of Canada’s banking system, through which they circulated with apparent ease.
It also raises a question: Why would anyone counterfeit the lowly toonie? The seized fakes seem to contradict the prevailing wisdom about counterfeiting: Since high denomination notes involve about the same amount of labour and input costs as low-value coins, $50 and $100 bills are far more attractive targets for fakery than toonies.
TORONTO, July 3 (Reuters) – Health authorities across Canada have cut the hours of hospital emergency departments and urgent care clinics in recent weeks, a move that in some cases may extend through the summer, due to a surge in patients and staff shortages.
The situation, clinicians say, is tied to a resurgence of viral infections such as COVID-19 among adults and children and a push by others to seek care delayed by the pandemic, and exacerbated by the high number of healthcare workers who are sick or burned out.
