The Toronto Sun reports most of the 435 flights (133) arrived from the U.S., with Los Angeles leading by Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Denver and Chicago.
Amsterdam topped the infection rate for overseas planes at 31, but double-digit numbers were from Paris, Istanbul, Frankfurt, Mexico City, and London.
The bulk of the infected passengers landed in Toronto and Montreal.
While commenting on the authoritarian nature of placing unvaccinated Americans on a no-fly list, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) described the Biden administration’s nearly open borders policy as “hypocrisy” because officials are taking kids at the border, who may have COVID, and “putting them all over the United States, as if they’re wishing to seed the country with the new [COVID] variant.”
For families questioning how their loved ones perished in the pandemic, provincial medical experts offer few answers – and critics say that hampers efforts to hold providers accountable.
Another bombshell announcement coming out of the Biden administration.
This time he’s going after our active-duty forces in the U.S. military, forcing them to take the Covid vaccine drug via a shot in the arm.
The plural of “anecdote” is not “data” but the episode described here is noteworthy for more than one reason, starting with the fact that the author, Allan Massie, is an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins. He studies infection for a living, so he knows what it means when a group of supposedly immune people discover that they’re not as immune as they thought.
Quebec Premier François Legault says his government will impose a vaccine passport system following a recent rise in COVID-19 infections.
Legault says Health Minister Christian Dubé will announce details in the coming days about how the system will work and when it will begin.
This comes as the province reported 305 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday as Quebec continues to see a daily surge in infections.

Tracing the Chinese regime’s attempts to control the scientific discourse and push policy
From the World Health Organization’s early China-friendly messaging on the virus outbreak to influential papers dismissing the theory that the virus originated in a laboratory, Beijing’s sway over scientific discussions has come under increasing scrutiny during the pandemic. Some observers are also pointing out the communist regime’s footprint in the push for one side of the debate on the science and policy of lockdowns, which have had significant economic ramifications in the West.
OTTAWA – Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu has sent a letter to her Alberta counterpart saying she shares concerns about the province’s plan to lift all of its COVID-19 health restrictions.
In the letter, addressed to Alberta Health Minister Tyler Shandro, Hajdu says she agrees with the Canadian Paediatric Society’s description of the move as an “unnecessary and risky gamble.”
She says recent modelling for Alberta forecasts a more serious resurgence in cases fuelled by the Delta variant, and all governments need to take reasonable steps to protect Canadians.
Why is Canada’s health minister backing up China’s lies?

Ontario reports 213 new COVID-19 cases; 14 more deaths but 12 due to data clean-up
Ontario reported more than 200 new COVID-19 infections and 14 additional deaths on Thursday, but 12 of those deaths occurred earlier this year, according to the government.
The province logged 213 new coronavirus infections today, a significant increase from 139 cases on Wednesday but down from 218 cases a week ago.
U.S. plans to require COVID-19 shots for foreign travellers
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is taking the first steps toward requiring nearly all foreign visitors to the U.S. to be vaccinated for the coronavirus, a White House official said Wednesday.
The requirement would come as part of the administration’s phased approach to easing travel restrictions for foreign citizens to the country. No timeline has yet been determined, as interagency working groups study how and when to safely move toward resuming normal travel. Eventually all foreign citizens entering the country, with some limited exceptions, are expected to need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to enter the U.S.
No word yet if the US will recognize Canadian Mixy Matchy Vaxx
A majority of Americans are pessimistic about the future after a recent surge in delta variant cases across the country, according to an Axios/Harris poll published Monday.
A new poll suggests more Canadians believe the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic has not passed as concerns rise about a fourth wave of infections driven by the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant.
Trudeau would be asked constantly why he was concentrating on re-election rather than managing the pandemic. And he would have no halfway credible answer.
Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has sent mixed messages about the likelihood that people vaccinated against COVID-19 will be infected by the delta variant of the coronavirus. While she has described so-called breakthrough infections as “rare” and this week reiterated the point that vaccinated people face a “far lower” infection risk than unvaccinated people, she also has offered an estimate implying the reverse: that vaccination somehow makes people more vulnerable to infection.
The Ontario Medical Association is calling on Premier Doug Ford’s government to adopt a certificate that could be used as proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
The OMA, which represents more than 40,000 physicians in Ontario, said 93 per cent of the province’s doctors are in favour of some form of vaccine credential.
At the Stop the Shot Conference hosted by the Truth for Health Foundation and live-streamed by LifeSiteNews on August 4, Ohio-based attorney Thomas Renz dropped bombshell data suggesting that deaths associated with the COVID-19 shots have been greatly underreported while adverse events have been largely ignored.
We’re being culled.
In an interview with McClatchy, Dr Anthony Fauci said so many variants have emerged during the pandemic that he fears a strain more serious than the Indian ‘Delta’ variant could be on the horizon.
