Keean Bexte subpoenaed (and it’s a good thing)

I have been subpoenaed by the police.

It’s not what you think — this is actually a good thing. It has been a long time coming, but justice is about to be served on the Langley Predator, Jonathan Yaniv. You may recall when the violent criminal assaulted me outside of the Surrey courthouse, when I was doing my job covering his trial.

The violent assault was captured by my camera, and by a courthouse camera. The case sat in the hands of the RCMP for months, but once it was handed to Crown prosecutors in Surrey, the ball really got rolling.

Conrad Black: Canada must retaliate over Biden’s ill-considered Keystone decision

Conrad Black: Canada must retaliate over Biden’s ill-considered Keystone decision

Canada absolutely has to retaliate for the outrageous and cavalier cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline. The millions of Canadians who celebrated former U.S. president Donald Trump’s departure from the White House may start to wonder if the new era is quite as paradisiacal as they had expected. President Joe Biden promised to ”rebuild our alliances,” yet with no notice given to America’s closest, oldest and least abrasive ally, with whose leader he is personally friendly, he revoked the existing arrangements and withdrew the permit to construct the pipeline, throwing 11,000 of his countrymen, and possibly as many as 40,000 Canadians, out of work.

“What Clearview does is mass surveillance and it is illegal,” said Canadian privacy commissioner Daniel Therrien. “It is completely unacceptable for millions of people who will never be implicated in any crime to find themselves continually in a police lineup.

Anti-poverty groups blast Canada for accepting vaccines needed in poor countries

“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.

MLA pushes for Alberta independence referendum

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!

When will life return to normal? In 7 years at today’s vaccine rates -10 years for Trudeau’s Canada

When will life return to normal? In 7 years at today’s vaccine rates -10 years for Trudeau’s Canada

In Canada it’s going to take more than 10 years at this rate

When will the pandemic end? It’s the question hanging over just about everything since COVID-19 took over the world last year. The answer can be measured in vaccinations.

Bloomberg has built the biggest database of COVID-19 shots given around the world, with more than 119 million doses administered worldwide. U.S. science officials such as Anthony Fauci have suggested it will take 70 per cent to 85 per cent coverage of the population for things to return to normal. Bloomberg’s Vaccine Tracker shows that some countries are making far more rapid progress than others, using 75 per cent coverage with a two-dose vaccine as a target.

In Chapter 5 of The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli describes three options for how a conquering power might best treat those it has defeated in war. The first is to ruin them; the second is to rule directly; the third is to create “therein a state of the few which might keep it friendly to you.”

Nine out of 10 Canadians have seen COVID-19 misinformation online: Statistics Canada

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.”
