It’s been a year and a half of dealing with COVID-19 and heavy-handed government rules, but governments across Canada still feel the need to dictate Canadians’ lives.

GOLDSTEIN: Big news on climate change — Gambia wins, Canada loses
Canada is a laggard in the international effort to avert catastrophic climate change, according to a major new study by Climate Analytics, a global, non-profit climate science and policy institute.
The organization’s “climate action tracker” describes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s policies as “highly insufficient” in regard to achieving the United Nations’ Paris climate accord goal he signed Canada up for in 2015.
Woke Canadian military can’t recruit new members
The Canadian military, a once illustrious institution with an international reputation for excellence and professionalism, is on the decline as it pushes a politically correct agenda to its members.
LifeSiteNews recently received an email that was sent out on behalf of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), outlining a series of “woke” initiatives that the military is promoting among its ranks.
The email came specifically from the office of the 8 Wing Deputy Commander, which is based in Trenton, Ontario. The current Deputy Commander of the 8 Wing is LCol Audrey Lavoie. Lavoie has served in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) since 2002 and was deployed in Afghanistan in 2008 as well as in other non-combat scenarios around the world.

Prime Minister Grave Markers To Be Reworded With Atrocity Apologies Open To Highest Bidder
Federal officials rethink wording of markers at gravesites of past prime ministers
OTTAWA — It was in late January that vandals so badly scratched out the face of Mackenzie King on an awareness panel by the former prime minister’s final resting place in Toronto that a federal agency decided the panel had to be replaced.
For more than two decades, the commemorative panel didn’t receive a revamp, just like others at prime ministerial gravesites overseen by federal officials.
Those officials, however, are rethinking what the panels should say and reflect how the country views its past, specifically in light of historical mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples.
Vancouver backs push for ‘compassion clubs’ selling safer heroin, cocaine, meth
Vancouver city council voted Thursday to back a push for “compassion clubs” to supply safer drugs to drug users in the city.
The motion, which passed with unanimous support, will see the city endorse an application by the Drug User Liberation Front and Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users for a federal exemption of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
Rupa Subramanya: Trudeau has turned Canada into an insular country with little power to affect foreign affairs
If the recent election proved anything, it’s that Canadians’ self-image as being cosmopolitan is just that — a self-image unrooted in reality.
Want your driver’s licence? You’ll need to be vaxxed or show proof of a negative COVID-19 test
The new COVID-19 policy will take effect on Oct. 25, Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) announced on Thursday morning.
“Providing proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test is now standard practice to access many businesses, services, and venues,” said Penny McCune, chief operating officer for SGI’s Auto Fund. “This will improve safety for our customers and employees.”
The CDC has verified there is vaccinated asymptomatic transmission. Nothing make sense anymore.
For Canada’s ‘Leaders,’ It’s About Compliance, Not Health
Have you noticed how events in Canada have really moved in only one direction?
“Burlington man”, who made up a tale about being an Islamic State executioner, sees terrorism-hoax charges dropped
A Burlington man, who made up a story about being an Islamic State executioner, has seen the rare terrorism-hoax charges he faced dropped, after his stories became the focus of major media reports, capturing worldwide attention and creating a political storm in Canada.
Justice Donald McLeod accepted the Crown’s decision to withdraw terrorism-hoax charges laid against 26-year-old Shehroze Chaudhry in a Brampton court Friday.
The charges were withdrawn after it was found the accused had made up claims to have fought for Islamic State and he posed little threat to the public.
Two-thirds of federal civil service will be exempt from mandatory vaccinations
Exempted employees include call centre operators, federal judges, meat inspectors, park wardens, postal workers, tax auditors, Commons and Senate staff, soldiers, sailors and air crew and members of the public entering federal buildings.
Betcha they’ll be given special dispensation to enter businesses and events that require proof of vaccinations.
Government forcing employees working from home to be vaccinated, or universities requiring it for students taking online courses, is proof that it has nothing to do with the science. It’s a witch hunt.

They are separating the compliant from the noncompliant.
Conservatives blast Liberals over “deafening silence” on Taiwan
