Pathogen Pipeline: Chinese Agents In Canada Shipped Deadly Pathogens To The Wuhan Institute Of Virology

Justin Trudeau Xiangguo Qiu Keding Cheng – Everybody say Xi

It is “extremely unlikely” that the virus causing Covid-19 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), but for the World Health Organization there’s more to the story. According to WHO mouthpiece Peter Ben Emerek, the issue does not even warrant further study.

“Phew. That’s China off the hook, then,” wrote Miranda Devine of the New York Post.

Contrary to Emerek, a food safety and nutrition specialist, not a virologist, the WIV warrants plenty of further study. Consider, for example, recent revelations from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Canada’s China Class At Work… Ottawa partners with Huawei to fund university research despite security concerns

Canada’s China Class At Work… Ottawa partners with Huawei to fund university research despite security concerns

The federal government is partnering with Huawei to sponsor leading-edge computer and electrical engineering research at Canadian universities, a move critics say threatens this country’s national security and economic interests.

The National Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), a federal agency, is collaborating with the Canadian arm of Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. to fund the studies. Top universities in the United States and Britain have shunned further research money from Huawei over intellectual-property and national-security concerns.

The federally funded council is putting up $4.8-million for research partnerships that include Huawei. The technology giant would not divulge its contribution but would only say it is “greater than $4.8-million.”

Ottawa still blocking provinces from ordering vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna: Pallister

Ottawa still blocking provinces from ordering vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna: Pallister

Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister said the federal government’s contracts with key coronavirus vaccine suppliers like Pfizer and Moderna forbid those companies from selling in separate deals to provinces.

In an interview with The West Block‘s Mercedes Stephenson, Pallister said recent comments by Procurement Minister Anita Anand that provinces are free to pursue their own deals with coronavirus vaccine suppliers are “false.”

‘Document dump’ of thousands of pages reveals federal government’s behind-the-scenes scramble on COVID-19

‘Document dump’ of thousands of pages reveals federal government’s behind-the-scenes scramble on COVID-19

OTTAWA—Is it time for the federal government to name an independent review of Canada’s pandemic response?

The prime minister says no, not now, while we’re still in the midst of the crisis; there’ll be time for that later.

Yet, as Canada stares down the emergence of variants, warnings of a third wave and predictions that this is not the last global pandemic to come, figuring out where we went wrong and what we need to fix is a mammoth and pressing task.

It may be one that a minority Parliament — where opposition parties and the government vie to frame ballot questions for the next election, whenever it comes — is ill placed to tackle with the objectivity and impartiality required.

Senate spends $150,000 on desks for staff working at home

A senate committee has decided to allocate $150,000 of taxpayers dollars so that senate employees can buy desks for their homes.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the Senate committee on internal economy voted 9 to 6 to approve the funding. It remains unclear how many employees will receive funding or how much each desk will cost.

They’ll turn in the desks when the pandemic is over, right? Oh wait, it will never be over.

Trudeau government won’t file NAFTA challenge over Keystone XL

Trudeau government won’t file NAFTA challenge over Keystone XL

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is rejecting calls for a more combative response to U.S. protectionism, hoping a conciliatory approach will mend relations damaged during Donald Trump’s presidency.

Trade Minister Mary Ng said in an interview this week she is focusing her efforts with the new Biden administration on mutual U.S.-Canada interests despite early policy hiccups that risk further fracturing ties between the two nations, whose commercial relationship is worth US$725-billion a year.

Now the EU screws Canada: Country runs out of covid vaccine after Brussels seizes veto over exports

No worries. Justin has a back-up plan.

Canada has been dragged into the EU’s vaccine chaos with Pfizer and Moderna both cutting back deliveries from Europe while Brussels goes to war on jab exports to rescue its own stumbling vaccine roll-out.

With no home-grown vaccines in Canada and no jabs being shipped from the United States, the country is reliant on factories in Europe to supply the doses.


Moderna shorts Canada again and falls 1.3 million doses behind delivery target

Canada will receive 82,000 fewer doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in the next shipment, leaving the company to fill a 1.3-million dose shortfall in March in order to meet the federal government’s targets.

The reduction is the latest blow to the federal government’s vaccine deliveries which have also seen Pfizer significantly reducing the doses Canada has received in recent weeks.

KUREK, MP: Trudeau pushing Westerners toward independence

Alberta has become one of the best places in the world to live, work, and invest in, even though the current challenges we face can overshadow those accomplishments. I’m both a proud Canadian and Albertan. I take pride in the knowledge that my nation has benefited immensely as a result of my province’s success. However, it’s clear that Alberta has not always been treated as an equal and respected partner in our federation.

Libs want public ‘distracted’

One interesting aspect about a minority government is the ability for the opposition parties to out vote the government in parliamentary committees.

In Ottawa, we are seeing many documents being released that relate to how the Trudeau Liberal government has been responding to the pandemic.

These documents were released because the opposition party members on the Parliamentary Health Committee were able to pass a motion that these documents would be made public, against the wishes of the Liberal members of the committee, who wanted to keep them secret.

John Robson: Smug Liberal government is too incompetent to get vaccination right

John Robson: Smug Liberal government is too incompetent to get vaccination right

You may think we have a vaccination crisis in this country. And if you’re not a paid or volunteer Liberal flak you may think it’s about health not PR. But it’s really a crisis of government competence. The reason they can’t vaccinate is they can’t do much of anything.

For instance buy sidearms or ships for the armed forces. Get guns away from criminals or tell criminals from law-abiding citizens. Decide when to lock us down or explain why. Deliver a budget or explain why they haven’t. Balance the books. Fix health wait lists. Maintain infrastructure. Be transparent.
