Cop bitten, older man beaten with stick during series of protests in downtown Toronto: police

Three people were charged after incidents at Saturday protests in Toronto concerning the provincial lockdown and the Israel-Palestine conflict, including a man accused of biting a police officer and another incident where a man was allegedly struck in the head with a wooden stick.

The first charge was laid during an anti-COVID-19 lockdown march that began at Queen’s Park on Saturday afternoon and snaked its way through many downtown streets.

Biting a cop? Now that’s rabid! As for the assault I am betting they will look for a way to blame the JDL.

Meanwhile in Jolly Old England…

Diane Francis: Trudeau’s immigration scheme is just another way to redistribute Canada’s wealth

It’s hard to imagine a bigger bungle by the Trudeau government than the vaccine fiasco and budget carnage, but now there’s immigration. Aims are to allow 1.2 million more permanent residents into Canada in the next three years when other, well-managed countries like Australia and New Zealand, are preoccupied with retaining the living standards of their existing populaces by trimming immigration.

DARED! Jordan Peterson to Justin Trudeau: ‘Just Try and Regulate My YouTube Channel’

“I have a million more YouTube subscribers than our national broadcaster CBC,” Peterson tweeted. “So does that make me a broadcaster to be regulated by Trudeau’s pathetic minions? Or does it just indicate that CBC is a failure, despite the fortune it takes in in public subsidy?”

No self-respecting person can see Trudeau’s ‘one-dose summer’ as anything other than an admission of failure

The government had repeatedly said everyone who wanted a vaccine (and they were talking about two-doses, not just one), would have them by the end of September.

But now, in what is an obvious admission of failure, Trudeau (or more likely some advisor,) came up with the talking point of a “one-dose summer.”

Amazingly, he says it as if it is some sort of accomplishment, as if we should thank him for failing to meet his earlier promise.

Chainsaw massacre: tree poaching hits Canada amid lumber shortage

Two tree stumps signaled to Larry Pynn that something was wrong.

Jutting from a mossy forest floor in western Canada, the fresh stumps were the final remnants of two western red cedars that had been chopped down by chainsaw. Nearby, a set of deep tire tracks ran for nearly a kilometer in the mud before terminating at the main road.

“I immediately suspected that this is the work of poachers,” said Pynn, a journalist who lives nearby. “These are clearly valuable trees and they were likely cut because of that.”

It’s the Carbon Tax Massacre.
