The premier made the comments during a news conference on Tuesday, saying that he’s “extremely” concerned with the direction the province is heading.
I’m starting to think Ford isn’t a whole lot different from the guy that preceded him.

Every time China has insulted or degraded Canada on the world stage
Over the last few years, the Chinese Communist regime has grown increasingly hostile towards the West.
With regard to Canada, the Chinese government has proven itself to be belligerent and uncooperative. The refusal by Chinese authorities to grant access to the trials of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor to consular officials is the most recent instance of Chinese diplomatic hostility.
Even prior to the arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou in 2019, Chinese state-media and officials were lashing out at Canada.
The following is a list of every single time that Chinese officials and state-media have insulted or downright degraded Canada on the international stage.

Chinese diplomat cranks up rhetoric with insults against ‘running dog’ ‘boy’ Justin Trudeau
A Chinese diplomat called Justin Trudeau “boy” in a sneering attack on the Canadian prime minister that comes as Beijing sees fresh signs of success in its ongoing shift to confrontational diplomacy — particularly against countries it sees as weaker.
“Boy, your greatest achievement is to have ruined the friendly relations between China and Canada, and have turned Canada into a running dog of the U.S.,” Li Yang, China’s consul general to Rio de Janeiro, wrote this weekend in a Tweet accompanying a picture of Mr. Trudeau.
Personally I suspect most heads of state think of Justin as an airhead.
Rally held downtown to raise awareness about anti-Asian racism
Organizers of the demonstration said they are “outraged and heartbroken” by the events that took place on March 16 when Robert Aaron Long allegedly killed four people inside two Atlanta spas and four others at a massage business roughly 50 kilometres away.

Murder charge laid against Yannick Bandaogo in North Vancouver fatal stabbing spree
Yannick Bandaogo, 28, has been charged in connection with the stabbing death of a woman in North Vancouver, B.C.
On March 27, 2021 at around 1:40 p.m., the North Vancouver RCMP and other emergency responders were called to the Lynn Valley library for reports of a stabbing. Officers arrived on scene to find multiple victims with stab wounds. Six individuals sustained stab wounds of varying severity and one woman in her late twenties succumbed to her injuries and died. The remaining victims were transported to hospital for non-life threatening emergency medical care. One man was arrested by police at scene and he remains in police custody.
On March 28, 2021, 28-year-old Yannick Bandaogo was charged with second-degree murder. His background, history in BC and relationship to the victims, if any, is still being determined.
Last name indicates it is possible he may be a native of Burkina Faso, a country roiled by Islamist insurrection and whose population is 61% Muslim and 28% Christian, the rest being Animist, according to the CIA World Fact Book.
No word yet on a motive.
GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s condemnation of China a long time coming
It’s good that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is finally moving away from his government’s previous policy of appeasing China’s communist dictators.
But what took him so long?
Canada’s China Class was made rich at our expense through their treachery.
They are well connected and influential within our northern Banana Republic.
They don’t want the spigot turned off. That’s why.
Woman dead, six hospitalized after ‘multiple’ people stabbed at North Vancouver library … no updates as expected
A woman is dead and multiple people were taken to hospital following an apparently random stabbing spree in a busy area of North Vancouver on Saturday afternoon.
It happened around 1:45 p.m. within and outside the Lynn Valley Library, which anchors the Lynn Valley Village shopping area that was packed with weekend shoppers.
One suspect was arrested, and police said the attacker appeared to be acting alone.
No update on the events of last night other than the perp was “known to police.”
Knowing both the police and media expect this to be buried ASAP as it offends the agreed upon narrative.

Tam’s office admits rocket ship modelling takes ‘simplified approach’ to projections
The Public Health Agency of Canada has admitted the modelling they use to create COVID-19 charts is a simple one that leaves out some potential inputs, including the impact of vaccinations.
“The forecasting model uses a simplified approach to model effects of public health interventions, which it does by altering the transmission rate,” explains a document sent by the PHAC to the federal House of Commons health committee earlier this week.

China announces sanctions on Canadians, including MP Michael Chong
China on Saturday announced sanctions on individuals and entities in Canada and the United States in response to sanctions imposed on Chinese citizens and groups over conditions in Xinjiang.
China sanctioned MP Michael Chong, who is also the Conservative Party’s foreign affairs critic. Sanctions were also placed on the House of Commons subcommittee on international human rights, which concluded in October that China’s treatment of its Uyghur population amounts to genocide.
“The individuals concerned are prohibited from entering the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao of China, and Chinese citizens and institutions are prohibited from doing business with the relevant individuals and having exchanges with the relevant entity,” the ministry wrote.
The New York Times had to retract his story. This Queen’s professor stands behind him.
In December 2016, New York Times reporter Rukmini Callimachi travelled to Canada to meet Shehroze Chaudhry, an Oakville, Ontario man who claimed to have been a part of ISIS in Syria in 2014 before returning to Canada. Callimachi, a foreign correspondent who covered Al Qaeda and ISIS at the time, would turn Chaudhry’s story into the award-winning—and later largely retracted—podcast series, Caliphate. But in this moment, as she left Canada, she felt like Chaudhry simply needed someone to talk to.
She put him in touch with Mubin Shaikh, a counterterrorism and extremism expert. Shaikh then called Amar Amarasingam, an extremism expert and assistant professor at Queen’s School of Religion, to give Chaudhry more support. Amarasingam first spoke to Chaudhry on Dec. 8, 2016 and told The Journal they’ve been “in touch ever since, on and off.”
The Prof is as big a bullshitter as the jihadi wannabe.
