Last living signer of Canadian constitutional charter of rights sues government over COVID travel ban

The last living drafter and signatory of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is the highest law of the land, is suing the Canadian federal government over its travel ban for the unvaccinated.

Former Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford, 79, is the main applicant in a case brought against the federal government by the Calgary-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, according to a press release.

“It is becoming more obvious that being vaccinated does not stop people from getting Covid and does not stop them from spreading it,” the former premier said in a statement. “The government has not shown that the policy makes flying safer—it simply discriminates.”

Police on guard against ‘lone wolf individuals’ as protest convoy arrives in Ottawa

Ottawa’s police chief says officials are on guard against “social media actors” and “lone wolf individuals” who might try to infiltrate this weekend’s convoy protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Members of a protest organizers call the Freedom Convoy steadily streamed into the nation’s capital Friday as various groups from across the country prepared to rally against the federal government’s vaccination mandate for all cross-border drivers, which came into effect earlier this month.

At least hundreds more were expected throughout the day and over the weekend, and Ottawa police Chief Peter Sloly says authorities weren’t sure how large the rally would be.

Period of infectiousness does not appear shorter with Omicron: Public Health Ontario

A new guide developed by Ontario’s public health agency suggests Omicron coronavirus infections are contagious for no less time than those of earlier variants, calling into question the province’s move to reduce self-isolation to five days for vaccinated people.

In a guide about how to best cohort patients in hospital published Jan. 21, Public Health Ontario (PHO) said they do not have any evidence to suggest Omicron is infectious for a shorter period of time.

Dr. Zelenko On Endless Boosters And Warnings About Vaccine-Induced AIDS

“Regarding the vaccine boosters, let me tell you its the biggest joke in the history of medicine. These vaccines — whether its the first round or the thirty-second shot that you’re going to get — cause AIDS  – Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Before you think I’m nuts, I didn’t say it causes HIV. HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. But there are other things that can damage the immune system.

And there are dozens of peer-reviewed papers showing that these vaccines are damaging your innate immune system. Damaging your t-cells. Damaging your natural “killer cells.” So you’re becoming much more prone to developing cancer, auto-immune diseases and other very serious infections. What these vaccines are doing are causing acquired immune deficiency.”

Justin Trudeau Calls 45-Mile-Long Truckers Convoy Small and Fringe, and He Is Dead Wrong

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not really known for many things.

In the past couple of years, his greatest notoriety came from having dressed up in black face when he was a much younger waif who probably never thought anything like that would come back and bite him in his political arse. He survived that debacle during his last reelection in 2021, although a bit more embarrassed than damaged politically.

Scared, Stupid, And Easily Manipulated: What COVID Has Revealed About The Nation’s Young

The saying goes that crises reveal your true nature. If that’s the case, we are in big trouble, because what COVID has revealed about young people in America is not good.

A new Morning Consult poll out this week finds that young people are the most worried about getting COVID of any age group — even though their risk from the disease is negligible.

At the other end of the spectrum, the elderly are much less worried, even though they are at the highest risk of death.
