What Canada’s Top Health Official Said A Year Ago
Theresa Tam repeatedly said the risk was low & COVID cases would be rare. She naively trusted China & relied on the WHO. 20,000 Canadians are now dead.
Canadians in Hong Kong are pawns caught in China’s game
Beijing’s announcement that it will no longer recognize the British national (overseas) passport as a valid travel document will send chills through Chinese-Canadians living in Hong Kong.
But the broader context is a delicate political game over the future of millions of Hong Kongers who hold dual nationality. At least one Chinese-Canadian has already been caught up in the political intrigue.
Canada Implements Racist Travel Ban On United States
Everything old is new again and that apparently includes Canada. Our neighbors to the north have just ramped up their restrictions on international travel to a level that will constitute what amounts to a total ban in practice if not in name. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement yesterday at a press conference and the details are indeed impressive in their oppressive nature.
COMMENTARY: Ottawa’s management of COVID-19 vaccine file leaves much to be desired
Canadians are understandably feeling anxious and impatient when it comes to the question of vaccine availability.
After all, Canada is falling behind numerous other countries when it comes to overall percentage of the population that’s been vaccinated, we’ve seen disruptions in the delivery of the two vaccines that have been approved for use here, and we’re hearing all sorts of protectionist rumblings that could further disrupt — or block — vaccine shipments.
Facebook Canada asks for government help to self-police content
The head of public policy for Facebook Canada says it’s no longer sustainable for social media companies to self-police questionable content.

Saudi state-owned companies have sued the country’s former intelligence chief in a Canadian court, alleging he stole billions of dollars, according to documents obtained by the news agency Agence France-Presse.

Canada ranks a dismal 61st in the world for COVID response
We’re #61! We’re #61! We’re #61.

Michigan approves Great Lakes oil pipeline tunnel permits
TRAVERSE CITY, MICH. — Michigan’s environmental agency said Friday it has approved construction of an underground tunnel to house a replacement for a controversial oil pipeline in a channel linking two of the Great Lakes.
The decision, a victory for Enbridge Inc., comes as the Canadian company resists Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s demand to shut down its 68-year-old line in the Straits of Mackinac.
Enbridge disputes her claim — echoed by environmentalists and native tribes — that the pipeline segment crossing the 4-mile-wide waterway is unsafe. But Enbridge had earlier sought to ease public concern by striking a deal with Whitmer’s predecessor, Republican Rick Snyder, in 2018 to run a new pipe through a tunnel to be drilled beneath the straits connecting Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.
A little good news for a change.
2 Canada Post ̷w̷o̷r̷k̷e̷r̷s̷ useful idiots in Regina suspended after refusing to deliver Epoch Times
Two Canada Post workers in Regina were temporarily suspended earlier this month after they refused to deliver the latest sample edition of the Epoch Times.
The head of the local CUPW union that represents postal workers said both mail carriers were escorted from the building when they informed their supervisors they were unwilling to deliver the publication. They were suspended without pay for three days.
According to its sample issue, the Epoch Times was created to “bring honest and uncensored news to people oppressed by deception and tyranny in communist China.”
Good. I smell China.
Doug Ford sent his Justice Department after Rebel News
You’ve likely heard of Rebel News’ crowdfunded campaign called Fight The Fines. We provide a lawyer for individuals who receive a charge under abusive, unconstitutional lockdown rules. We send a journalist to tell the story of how the person was fined, we hire a lawyer and then we crowdfund to cover the fees.
It’s a project that’s been ongoing for nearly a year now, beginning all the way back in April, 2020.
All of a sudden, however, the Government of Ontario has taken issue with one aspect of our campaign. It’s something you’ll see if you visit our special portal at FightTheFines.com — go ahead, visit the site and see for yourself if you can guess what Premier Doug Ford’s justice department has taken umbrage with.
