Montreal’s earlier curfew met with protest and rioting

The province is in a sprint to the finish to administer the first dose of COVID-19 vaccines, so Quebecers should continue to obey the curfew and other rules until then, Health Minister Christian Dubé told a television audience on Sunday evening as an earlier curfew went into effect in Montreal and Laval and protesters in Old Montreal set fires and smashed store windows.

Now, It’s Time to Stop Listening to Fauci…Even Liberals Are Calling Him Out

Dr. Anthony Fauci is fully vaccinated. Fauci still wears masks for some reason. And Fauci is still telling people fantastic science fiction tales about the COVID vaccine. The COVID panic train has derailed. We have three vaccines. Over 100 million Americans have received at least one dose. Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins says that based on the data, specifically the infection mortality rate, he estimates that two-thirds of the country has already had the infection. Natural immunity is something the experts do not talk about because herd immunity means the end to them telling us what to do. That was never the case. These lab coat fascists never could tell us what to do.

When police start raiding our churches, you know the revolution has begun

The sight of police closing down a church service is one of the worst moments of this national panic.

I am more and more sure that this country is suffering a revolution in which much that we used to know and believe is being quietly, insistently destroyed.

But Scotland Yard’s raid on the Church of Christ the King in Balham, South London, was especially distressing, not least because most of the congregation there are Polish, from a country where the Christian religion was only recently freed from state harassment.

Hundreds gather to support Alberta church shut down for ignoring COVID-19 orders

SPRUCE GROVE, Alta. – Hundreds of people are gathered outside an Alberta church charged with refusing to follow COVID-19 health rules.

On the first Sunday since GraceLife Church was shut down and fenced off by Alberta Health Services, an estimated 500 people gathered outside to oppose COVID-19 regulations and show support.

Canadians will lose jobs amid COVID shutdowns, but may rebound ‘quickly’: employment minister

On the heels of promising new job numbers from Statistics Canada, employment minister Carla Qualtrough said Canadians can expect to see another dip in employment figures as new shutdown measures take hold across the country to curb soaring COVID-19 cases.

The economy added 303,000 jobs in March as employment increased, StatCan reported on Friday, including gains in sectors that the pandemic hit hard.

“I don’t think next month’s job numbers will be as hopeful, because they will reflect the lockdowns that are happening now,” Qualtrough told The West Block‘s Mercedes Stephenson in an interview.

South African variant can ‘break through’ Pfizer vaccine: Israeli study

JERUSALEM — The coronavirus variant discovered in South Africa can “break through” Pfizer/BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine to some extent, a real-world data study in Israel found, though its prevalence in the country is low and the research has not been peer reviewed.


It appears that the AstraZeneca jab has a much lower efficacy rate than either Moderna, Janssen or Pfizer. But guess which one Canada seems to have the most of for the GTA? Yup AstraZeneca.

Thank that schmuck in Ottawa for subjecting you to Vaccine Roulette. And given we now live in Bananada I wonder who is getting the highest efficacy vaccines if indeed their ratings are reliable?

Official: Chinese vaccines’ effectiveness low

The effectiveness of a Sinovac vaccine at preventing symptomatic infections was found to be as low as 50.4% by researchers in Brazil, near the 50% threshold at which health experts say a vaccine is useful. By comparison, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has been found to be 97% effective.

Related… Comparison of Vaccine efficacy of approved jabs in Canada –

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have the highest efficacy at around 95 per cent. Lower efficacy, in the 60 to 70 per cent range, was found for the AstraZeneca and Janssen products. (Efficacy measures how many vaccinated people contract COVID-19 compared with how many infections occur in the placebo or control group. Put another way, it represents the proportion of COVID-19 infections that could be prevented by vaccination).

… “I think the Johnson and Johnson (Janssen) one had much better clinical endpoints in the trials … there was a pretty low bar for establishing efficacy in the other trials,” she says.

In a 20-minute virtual address to thousands of party members, Trudeau said Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole “can’t quite grasp” the struggles that Canadians have endured over the last year during COVID-19. He suggested the Tories would have been less generous with relief programs and unreliable pandemic stewards had they been in power.

SNOBELEN: There’s no logic in our pandemic response anymore

If you haven’t been following the COVID-19 twists and turns, we are now into wave three. I’m pretty sure we lost the plot back in wave one.

COVID-19 started with Canadian public health officials assuring us that they had the global pandemic under control. Then the plot suddenly twisted, sending everyone into dead panic, shocked by the possibility of overflowing hospitals.

India’s variant-fuelled second wave coincided with spike in infected flights landing in Canada

India’s devastating second COVID-19 wave correlated with the sudden spike in infected passengers from that country arriving at Canadian airports.

And that wave, say Indian health officials, is being fuelled by a recently-discovered ‘double-mutation’ strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus — a variant that combines two mutations only previously found in separate strains that increase infectiousness and resistance to antibodies.

COVID-19: Ontarians push back against companies denying them access to ‘non-essential’ goods

Colero, who uses the pronouns they and them, claimed the ODSP only provides them with just under $1,200 a month and said they depend on stores like Dollarama to get their supplies.

They also claimed Dollarama has closed off access to aisles with many supplies they need and can’t afford to purchase elsewhere.

“Cleaning supplies, menstrual products, paper towels, tissues, tin foil,” Colero told Global News. “I love Dollarama because everything there is a good price and that’s really what we need, because on ODSP, we have to budget so carefully.”

Ottawa mulls exempting more workers from Canada-U.S. border shutdown: Garneau

Ottawa mulls exempting more workers from Canada-U.S. border shutdown: Garneau

Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau says Ottawa is looking at expanding the categories of essential workers allowed to travel across the Canada-U.S. border.

He told a parliamentary committee Thursday that could mean allowing technicians in the integrated auto industry to be considered essential workers for cross-border purposes.

“We are specifically talking about different groups that would be potentially considered to be essential workers, that have the need to cross the border for specific reasons,” Garneau said.

The Canada-U.S. border has been closed to people travelling for vacations and other non-essential visits since March 2020 to help limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.
