$15 Federal Minimum Wage: An Anchor on Struggling Businesses

In Ontario, the early weeks of the province’s sluggish vaccination effort have been criticized by health-care experts, including front-line workers, as being marred by strategic missteps, a decision to prioritize hospitals over long-term care homes, and a rollout that allowed non-essential workers to get a first dose of the vaccine before some nurses and doctors.

I just received a priority mail letter from Justin Trudeau’s Elections Commissioner: I’ve been convicted of two counts of breaking the law and I’ve been fined a whopping $3,000 — specifically for writing a book comparing Justin Trudeau to Tony Soprano, and for the drawing on the book’s cover that compares them.

Joe Biden warns U.S. faces more than 600,000 COVID deaths

‘I’m going to close and summarize this way,’ Biden said at an event Friday in the state dining room of the White House. ‘A lot of America is hurting. The virus is surging. We’re 400,000 dead, expected to reach well over 600,000. Families are going hungry. People are at risk of being evicted. Job losses are mounting again. We need to act. No matter how you look at it we need to act.

This Is Why Nobody Believes The Media Anymore

Not the least among those factors is the fact that media occasionally gets the story wrong — sometimes because the desire to break a story first outweighs the desire to get it right and sometimes because the information being reported comes from sources that are not trustworthy.

Trudeau speaks to Pfizer CEO as delays to vaccine shipments get worse

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla by phone Thursday, the same day the company informed Canada delays to its shipments of COVID-19 vaccines are going to be even worse than previously thought.

Trudeau’s Christmas vacation: Flight tracking gives supporting evidence for secret trip down south

Guy Annable of the Ottawa-based Capital Voice has a hunch. Guy thinks the PM may have flown south to a Caribbean destination, perhaps the Turks and Caicos Islands. Guy bases his hypothesis on diligently tracking flights out of Ottawa during this period, including federal government-owned jets. As well, he notes that in early January, an arriving government jet from the Caribbean landing in Ottawa was met by a five car motorcade. And really, how many people receive that kind of reception?

FERNANDO: As Vaccine Debacle Deepens, Trudeau Disappears

Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Toronto Mayor John Tory both have a few things in common.

First, they aren’t federal leaders.

Second, they both sought to contact the CEO of Pfizer to enquire about Canada’s vaccine shipments being shut down for at least a full week.

Why do I mention this?

Because the fact that they are doing this shows what a massive leadership vacuum exists at the federal level, as Justin Trudeau again leaves his work to others.

Voters enraged as Dems back away from $2,000 checks

Many Georgia voters who backed the two Democrats in the Senate runoff earlier this month already are enraged by what they regard as a broken promise.

Biden Issues Mask Order; Biden, Staff, and Grandchildren Immediately Break It

In traditional Joe Biden fashion, he wants to appear like he’s doing something by ordering what people were already doing in federal buildings. That’s his big “plan.”

Planet Fitness calls RCMP on gym goer with wrong type of mask

Just when you thought these fines and arrests for not wearing a mask couldn’t be anymore absurd, you come across the story of Victor Mihic, who says he was fined for — get this — wearing the wrong mask!

Victor’s workout routine got horribly off track the last time he went to work out at Planet Fitness in Nanaimo, British Columbia. Instead of getting his flex on, he ended up getting put in the back of a police car, despite wearing the same face covering he claims to have worn there many times before.

Brace Yourselves: Biden Plans To Turn America Into California

We know that Joe Biden’s promises to “Build Back Better” are all things that will destroy our economy and descend us into socialism, but we had no idea how serious he was about ruining this country. Crazy Joe intends to turn America in to California, the most mismanaged, high-priced, freedom-desert in the land. He won’t be importing the awesome Cali weather, but the rest of the country will be getting the high-taxes and shitty liberal governance of the Golden State.

Now that we are all suspects, we must be investigated

After the purge of the military and federal government of Trump supporters and non-Biden loyalists, the government will turn its sights on the rest of us.

I guess Biden will create an American Commissariat for Internal Affairs to root out all the insurrectionist threats to his Presidency.

The speed at which this government has gone Jackboot is breathtaking.

The left’s vindictiveness: From erasing truth to criminalizing it

Typically, when I noodle around the idea for a column I choose a subject of interest and start gathering links to relevant articles as I come across them. I seldom go looking for links; most often I just come across them as I peruse the news.

So when I decided to write about revenge – specifically, how the left is waging an all-out war on conservatives – I duly began gathering links. Imagine my surprise when I sat down to write this column and realized I had nine pages of links about leftist revenge … most of them gathered just in this latest blood-bath of a week.

No, AOC, It’s Not the Government’s Job to ‘Rein in Our Media’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) told her social media followers earlier this week that Democrats in Congress might respond to the Capitol riot with some sort of “media literacy” initiative.

The Progressive Purge Begins

Progressives have always loved a good purge. Whether it was the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, North Korea, China or anywhere else, when people step out of line, through public actions or private words, they mysteriously disappear.

With Alarming Speed the Media and Tech Corporations Fully Embraced the Concept of Censorship

Ever since the deplorable actions of select members of a protest in D.C. on Wednesday, January 6 the press and the tech giants have acted out with blazing speed to smear large swaths of the country as culpable of guilt. As has been witnessed in the past the arrival of a crisis — genuine or alleged — has led to rash actions. In this pandemic-fueled environment, where politicians have run rampant with unelected power, it is not shocking to see instantaneous overreach taking place.
