As if the COVID-19 pandemic hadn’t produced enough ways to complicate life at the border between Canada and the United States, here comes another: whether or not to require proof of vaccination.

COVID-19 shows us why Canada needs a federal alcohol act
Now may be a good opportunity for the federal government to take legislative action in the form of a federal alcohol act to address heavy drinking. This is legislation which could enshrine a harm reduction approach to alcohol that addresses outstanding issues related to advertising and labelling, access to alcohol, the affordability of the product and more.
Plus, Sharia!

Government Teachers’ Union Boss Attacks Jewish ‘Ownership Class’ For Criticizing School Closures
The president of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, attacked Jews who criticized her union’s efforts to keep schools closed for in-class instruction as members of the “ownership class.”
“American Jews are now part of the ownership class,” Weingarten said in an interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency a month ago reported by the Jerusalem Post. The 63-year-old union president who represents 1.7 million members was responding to those who criticize efforts to keep schools closed while they exploit the coronavirus crisis for billions in stimulus money that won’t be spent for years.
She’s Jewish but obviously her religion is Leftism.
BONOKOSKI: Justin Trudeau’s guinea pigs respond not so kindly
The guinea pigs have weighed in and none is too happy that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is using them as a “human experiment” in order to save political face on the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
My Sunday column on the Trudeau Liberals’ skipping the manufacturers’ recommendation to give second dose after 21 days, not Trudeau’s four months, certainly rattled the hornet’s nest.
Our preventable third wave: The state of Canadian vaccines as COVID cases rise
It was always known that Canada’s failure to procure timely vaccines would yield otherwise preventable waves of disease, but only now is the rubber starting to meet the road.
Ontario is fast approaching more active cases than at any time since the start of the pandemic, with the province now racking up a new COVID-19 diagnosis every 15 seconds, the majority of them the highly infectious and more deadly variants. Upticks are also rearing their head in Quebec and Western Canada. In British Columbia right now, nearly 10 per cent of the 100,000 COVID-19 cases logged since March, 2020 have occurred within the last two weeks.

Ontario issues another stay-at-home order, will only permit in-person shopping at grocers and pharmacies
The Ford government has issued another stay-at-home order amid surging COVID-19 cases and will also order the closure of all non-essential retail outlets for in-person shopping.
The order will take effect at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday and will be accompanied by Ontario’s third state of emergency declaration since the beginning of the pandemic. It is expected to remain in effect for at least four weeks.
The Ford government says that so long as the order is in effect residents will be required to stay at home except for “except for essential purposes, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services (including getting vaccinated), exercising close to home and with the people you live with, or for work that cannot be done remotely.”
Biden Says He Has Not Spoken to Chinese Leader About Virus Origins
U.S. President Joe Biden said on April 6 that he has not talked to Chinese leader Xi Jinping about the origins of the CCP virus, which causes the disease COVID-19.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Biden was asked: “Have you had the chance to ask him [Xi] if these reports are true, that China maybe misled the world at the beginning?”
“I have not had that conversation with President Xi,” Biden said.
RCMP seal entrances: AHS statement on GraceLife Church closure
Fence goes up around Alta. church refusing to follow COVID-19 orders
EDMONTON — A fence has been erected around the Alberta church whose congregation has met for months in violation of provincial COVID-19 orders.
Chain link fencing surrounded GraceLife Church in Parkland County west of Edmonton Wednesday morning.
Alberta Health Services said it “physically closed” the building and will be preventing access to it until GraceLife “can demonstrate the ability to comply with Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health’s restrictions.”
Not a good look for the Government or the RCMP. The double standards are infuriating. Wanna riot or publicly bask in the light of your politically correct cause? No problem. Go to church?? Criminal.

One in three COVID-19 patients in U.S. developed a neurological or psychiatric condition, study finds
A study of more than 236,000 people in the United States who contracted COVID-19 last year has found that one in three developed a neurological or psychiatric condition and one in 50 of those who became seriously ill received their first diagnosis of dementia within six months.
The most common conditions were anxiety and mood disorders, which occurred in 17 per cent and 14 per cent respectively of those studied. Among patients admitted to intensive care, the researchers found that 7 per cent suffered a stroke and almost 2 per cent developed dementia – which could have been present before COVID-19 but went undiagnosed. They added that more study is needed to fully establish the link between COVID-19 and dementia.
Tell me this crap didn’t leak from a lab.
