“#RudyGiuliani exposed hundreds to Covid-19 as he relentlessly criss-crossed the country seeking to overturn the election,” said Midler in a second tweet, “pix of him maskless, hugging, kissing, posting with other Covidiots…it’s enough to make you gag. Pity the poor doctors & nurses who have to treat him.”
The average Canadian family can expect to spend an extra $695 on food next year, as the pandemic, wildfires, and changing consumer habits will increase grocery bills to the highest increase ever predicted by the annual food price report.
“An opportunity for a reset.” – Justin Trudeau
“A ‘great reset’ of capitalism.” – Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum
“I want ideas on how the government can ‘unlock’ your savings.” – Chrystia Freeland
‘The Great Reset’ – literally a presentation from the Bank of Canada on their website.
You can see a common theme here: Using this crisis to promote and discuss how to expand the power of an already overbearing government, reshaping the world in the political image of the elites, and imposing an agenda they couldn’t get support for otherwise.
Ontario is reporting 1,676 new cases of COVID-19 Tuesday, and 10 new deaths due to the virus.

Military reservists preparing for possible deployment in Prairies as COVID-19 rates soar
All of the army divisions and joint task forces across the country were asked earlier this fall to check how many part-time soldiers would be available for duty so as to have 300 reserve soldiers in each area, a senior defence source said.
Brian Pallister, Manitoba’s conservative-in-name-only premier, recently imposed strict lockdown measures on his entire province, including the closure of anything he deems “non-essential” — and according to him, you’re an “idiot” if you disagree with his decision.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was accompanied by Dr. Anthony Fauci at a press conference on Monday. And both took turns giving each other shoulder rubs.
Manitobans in lockdown during the holidays will soon have the option to watch government-sponsored content after the province announced the $3 million “Safe at Home Manitoba” grant on Monday.
Indigenous Services Canada is now reviewing several complaints against the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC) over the bonus and how the organization distributed stimulus funds to hard hit Indigenous tourism business owners across the country.
The Ontario government is ready to distribute COVID-19 vaccines as soon as they are received, beginning with vaccinating vulnerable populations and those who care for them. As recommended by the COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Task Force and in alignment with the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, the province has identified key populations to receive the vaccine first, including long-term care and retirement home residents and the staff who provide care to these groups. The government’s approach is informed by science and prioritizes population groups that are at greatest risks of COVID-19.
Recently in Manitoba, things have gotten a bit out of hand, as Premier/Grinch Brian Pallister’s enforcement of new restrictions has seen more than $180,000 in fines dished out in a week. A popular target for Pallister’s charges has been a church in Steinbach, where a pastor was recently charged for organizing a protest.
Boris Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccination card could ‘pave the way’ for a full national ID system while creating a two-tier county where some Britons have freedom but those without immunity are ‘shut out’, a leading human rights group has claimed.
Advocacy group Liberty fear people without the card could be blocked from accessing ‘essential public services, work or housing’ – with the ‘most marginalised among us’ being hit the hardest.
Every Briton will be handed a card proving they have received the sought-after coronavirus jab and urged to keep it with them at all times.
But the cards have been widely-criticised with many fearing they could create a black market in fakes if pubs, theatres and restaurants demand to see them. Others have accused the Government of bringing in an immunity passport by stealth.

Air Canada has received the largest amount of government pandemic aid of all publicly traded companies in Canada that have disclosed their finances to shareholders to date, a CBC News investigation has found.
The country’s largest airline reported that it collected $492 million in public funds through the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) to pay its employees over a period ending Sept. 30, according to Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and TSX Venture Exchanges filings.
According to CBC’s findings from information posted to date, that’s roughly four times more than the second-highest sum paid to a publicly traded company through the wage subsidy, which went to Imperial Oil. The Calgary-based energy giant disclosed it received $120 million from CEWS. Linamar, a large automobile parts manufacturer, and Air Transat also received more than $100 million each to help cover salaries.
As Canadians holed up at home away from family and friends or swept grocery store shelves clean of toilet paper, others took pandemic precautions a leap further this year, turning to living off the grid and learning survival skills.
Chuck Wrathall, a survivalist and photographer from Cape Breton, runs an Instagram account dedicated to his adventures and has received an influx of messages from people wanting to learn the ropes since COVID-19 hit.
“Bushcraft has exploded. People love the wilderness skills. They want to know how to survive, how to forage, how to go out and hunt and gather,” he said. “Plus they want to know how to be self-reliant so that could mean off the grid or being self-sufficient, having solar or having water collection.”
