When it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine, Justin Trudeau had one job – deliver the provinces with the vaccine. Unfortunately, it looks like he’s failing at this one job.
How could he possibly do this? It turns out Trudeau signed a deal to develop a vaccine with the Chinese firm CanSino in May and didn’t start signing deals with other vaccine candidates until August.
Anthony Furey discusses Trudeau’s latest failure and the realities of the vaccine and the virus.
Alberta’s premier has offered another sharp rebuke of the U.S. president’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline, going so far as to accuse him of showing “disrespect for America’s closest friend and ally.”
In an interview with The West Block’s Mercedes Stephenson, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney criticized newly inaugurated president Joe Biden’s decision to block the US$8-billion cross-border energy project on his first day in office.
McCuaig-Johnston: We thought China could become more democratic. Instead, it is becoming totalitarian
China’s regime is often called authoritarian. It certainly has been that under Xi Jinping. But its recent programs of surveillance and repression show the characteristics of a totalitarian state, with technologies of which Hitler and Mussolini could only dream.
This is shocking given the expectation that decades of economic reform would bring liberalization and some democratic attributes. But Xi has turned his ship of state around. In the Economist’s 2019 Democracy Index, China’s regression resulted in a fall of 23 places in the ranking in one year. It is now near the bottom, below Iran, at 153 out of 167 countries.
Gee what a surprise! Canada’s China class is still selling this bullshit. Just like they push nation destroying mass immigration. They’ll do anything for their 30 pieces of silver.
Within hours of taking office, newly elected US President Joseph R. Biden Jr. withdrew the US federal permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, effectively killing the project on the spot.
Biden is of course, likely clueless as to the facts surrounding Keystone. He likely has no idea, nor does he care about the tens of thousands of jobs he just terminated, the financial opportunities for indigenous groups he just destroyed, and the children he just introduced to welfare.
EDMONTON/CALGARY – The Alberta government’s trade office in Washington, D.C. called home last week with grim tidings: Rumours were circulating the U.S. capital that President Joe Biden was planning to scrap the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office.
It set off a wave of alarm. The Alberta government worked through the weekend to prepare its response strategy and a flurry of phone calls were placed between Ottawa, representatives in Washington and to the TC Energy headquarters in Calgary. On Sunday, news outlets reported on a Biden team transition memo that said the death of Keystone XL was coming.
The fix was in. KXL’s cancellation fits the LPC agenda perfectly. Impoverish Canadians and call it building a “sustainable green economy.”
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has spent the last number of days calling for consequences and compensation in the aftermath of U.S. President Joe Biden revoking the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.
But Canada’s options appear limited, and are unlikely to include the introduction of sanctions, as the premier has suggested.
In an interview Saturday on CBC’s The House, Canada’s ambassador to the United States even said it was time to let the project go in favour of other pressing bilateral issues.
The fix was in.
A “revolutionary” and anarchist-affiliated website published domestic terrorism instructions on Monday, detailing how to sabotage critical Canadian infrastructure.
A team of researchers from the Montreal Heart Institute believes they have found an effective weapon against COVID-19: colchicine, an oral tablet already known and used for other diseases.
For Dr. Jean-Claude Tardif, who led the study, this is a “major scientific discovery” and colchicine is the first “effective oral drug to treat out-of-hospital patients.”
“To be able to offer this, from Quebec, and for the planet, we are very happy,” said Tardif.
Now that the Keystone XL pipeline is canceled by President Joe Biden, the world is supposedly greener.
Really? Fact is, it’s the opposite. Instead of getting more environmentally friendly, the carbon footprint from that oil will be increased substantially because it will be shipped by trucks and trains above ground instead of through underground pipe. It is also much less safe and efficient: shipping by trucks and trains means more accidents — and an increased human cost. What sheer brilliance! I thought all of Biden’s decisions were going to be based on facts and science.
This is an alarming moment for Alberta, with the Keystone XL pipeline axed by U.S. President Joe Biden and green activists keen to see the death of more pipeline projects.
Several major targets are crucial to Alberta’s future, the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion to Burnaby, B.C., and Line 3, which moves Alberta crude down to Minnesota and Wisconsin.
I’d be asking, how long are we going to put up with being mauled and mocked and stymied and blocked, by forces within Canada and without?
He couldn’t wait.
Joe Biden didn’t let the sun set on his first day as president before coming down like a ton of bricks on Alberta. Almost with his first breath, he smashed Keystone XL.
It’s shocking to see a Governor General resign amidst revelations about a toxic work environment at her office.
For taxpayers, it’s even more shocking to know we’ll have to keep paying her expenses.
Ottawa bylaw officers will be increasing patrols to enforce these rules in light of “consistent large crowds, numbering in the hundreds, over the past two weeks,” the statement said.
“We all experience things differently.”
That was one of the lines included in the resignation letter written by Gov. Gen. Julie Payette, who stepped down from her viceregal role Thursday following the completion of an independent workplace review that has been described as a “scathing” indictment of her “toxic” behaviour toward staff.
Canada will serve a two-year term on the Council, helping to ensure cooperation and facilitating discussions on the global clean energy future among the 163 member countries.
