With certification, Congress has betrayed the nation

Congress certified the Electoral College vote for Joe Biden in the middle of the night, just like how Jesus was convicted by the Jewish high priests in the middle of the night, just like five states committed election fraud last Nov. 3-4 in the middle of the night.

AOC Lets Us Know That Healing Means Abject Surrender and Submission

As AOC is arguably one of the more lucid of the House radicals it would do us well to remember this does not represent a view of the actual sentiment of the more radical members of the House…which now includes Nancy Pelosi. It is the sanitized for public consumption version. It would also serve us well to take her at her word.

Canada’s vaccination efforts need more urgency, less finger-pointing

Much has been asked of Canada’s federal and provincial governments over the last year, but it’s probably fair to say that the rollout of coronavirus vaccines is the most important responsibility those governments have had in our lifetimes.

And while Canadians should have realistic expectations and some degree of patience, we are very much entitled to state loudly and clearly: “Do not screw this up.”

Perhaps it’s inevitable that some level of “screw up” is going to be baked in to any government endeavor, especially those of the large and complex variety. Incompetence is not inevitable, however, and we should not be satisfied with “good enough.”

WAGNER: Is support for Alberta independence ‘disloyal’ as the Toronto Star claims?

Toronto Star columnist Gillian Steward wrote a critical piece on the Buffalo Declaration, mocking it as “riding the hobby horse of victimhood.” There are many responses that quickly come to mind for her run-of-the-mill, pro-centralist claims, but there’s one that needs special attention. 

She writes that the four Conservative MPs who signed the Buffalo Declaration, “must have forgotten that they took an oath of loyalty to The Crown and Canada because the Buffalo Declaration warns that if the federal government doesn’t give Alberta exactly what it wants then a referendum on independence is ‘inevitable.’”

Dominion Voting Systems Sues Sidney Powell for Nearly $1.3 Billion

The company said in their filing “she has directly accused Dominion of fraud, election rigging, bribery, and conspiracy, which are serious crimes.”

They added “Powell’s statements have exposed Dominion to the most extreme hatred and contempt.”

To Heal, We Must First Acknowledge Plummeting Public Trust Is Reasonable

“My sister was 35 and served 14 years — to me that’s the majority of your conscious adult life. If you feel like you gave the majority of your life to your country and you’re not being listened to, that is a hard pill to swallow. That’s why she was upset,” said Roger Witthoeft, the brother of Ashli Babbitt, in an interview with The New York Times.

Who is responsible for enforcing mask EXCEPTIONS? Nobody seems to know

For nearly two months, I have been investigating the heavy-handed enforcement of COVID-related regulations, specifically the mask mandate. The rules have changed so much that it seems no one really knows what they’re enforcing, and the law is being left largely open to interpretation.

It keeps bringing me back to the same question: why are people who are mask exempt being treated like criminals?

Iran, Pakistan and Khalistan in Canada: Foreign agendas are playing out in Parliament

If you recall, in December 2017 the Jewish philanthropist couple, Honey and Barry Sherman, were found dead in their Toronto home. Police at first said there was no foul play. It was only after the rest of the Sherman family and the Jewish community lobbied long and hard, that any in-depth analysis was undertaken and a forensic pathologist hired by the couple’s family ruled that their deaths were a double murder.

Democrats Move To Ban Trump From Running In 2024 As Articles Of Impeachment Circulate

Curfews, crackdowns or more? What experts say Canada must do to get a handle on COVID-19

Calgary protesters CHARGED while politicians VACATION

While politicians of all stripes were off breaking their own recommendations to avoid non-essential travel, leaving frozen Canada for warmer climes, Albertans all across the province were being fined for protesting the lockdown rules that the politicians themselves ignored.

Every weekend in Calgary, there’s a protest at City Hall against the coronavirus lockdown measures that have closed thousands of businesses, limited worship and funerals, emptied schools and banned family visits. And every weekend, tickets are issued to the protesters for their so-called illegal gathering.

New year, old Yaniv: Jonathan Yaniv facing NEW criminal charges for threats, mischief

Will 2021 finally be the year where justice is finally served for the infamous Jessica Simpson, formally known as Jonathan Yaniv?

On December 30, MeowMix.org broke the news that a warrant was out for the arrest of Yaniv. We have since confirmed that while the rest of us were bringing in the New Year, Yaniv spent New Year’s Day being arrested on three new charges.

Ontario Liberals urge Ford to call in military to help with COVID-19 vaccination efforts

The leader of the Ontario Liberal party is calling on the Ford government to request military help in its efforts to distribute COVID-19 vaccines.

In a statement issued on Wednesday morning, Steven Del Duca said that he has “no faith in Doug Ford’s ability to rapidly and effectively distribute COVID-19 vaccines and deal with the ongoing crisis in our nursing homes.”

Twitter prevents liking, sharing of Trump video statement about Capitol rioters

Twitter has prevented the liking, replying, and retweeting of a taped statement that President Donald Trump tweeted about the rioters supporting his election claims who violently clashed with Capitol Police at, and stormed, the U.S. Capitol. Under the tweet, Twitter has placed a label which reads: “This claim of election fraud is disputed, and this Tweet can’t be replied to, Retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence”.

Chelsea Handler: ‘Time for New Statues in Georgia. Start With Stacey Abrams’

Hollywood leftist Chelsea Handler is ready to raise “new statues in the state of Georgia” after the Georgia Senate run off elections to Stacey Abrams and the Peach State’s embattled Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger [sic]

“It’s time for a new statues in the state of Georgia,” Chelsea Handler tweeted. “Start with Stacey Abrams, Latosha Brown, a little splash of white male decency, Raffensberger, and all of Georgia’s voting heroes. This is a beautiful day in the history of America and just what we needed to come out of 2020.”

Canada’s ‘slow’ rollout of coronavirus vaccine ’embarrassing’: experts

A majority of Canadians should be vaccinated against the coronavirus by September 2021, according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. But with the current pace of the country’s vaccination distribution, experts warn provinces may not be able to reach the target anytime soon.

“Canada is definitely having a slower start,” said Kerry Bowman, a professor of bioethics and global health at the University of Toronto. “And each day and week goes by, we run the great risk of falling further and further behind.“

Man in viral Bontea parking lot video allegedly takes own life

The viral video, posted Monday night, appears to show Demian being handcuffed by police outside of the tea shop Bontea in Scarborough, Ontario. One officer can be heard saying “you’re under arrest for obstructing a police officer… I asked for your ID and you told me to go f*** myself.”

Another man was also questioned by police in the video. When asked for his identification the man says, “Why do you need my ID?” to which the officer replies, “The Ontario Reopening Act, sir.”

‘YOU NAZI BI**H!’; Lunatic On Train Goes Ballistic After Passengers Drink Coffee Without Masks; Ashley St. Clair Captures It All On Video

On her way to Washington DC for the January 6th Trump march, conservative commentator Ashley St. Clair had a wild encounter with a liberal lunatic, and you won’t be able to stop watching the events that unfold.

The unhinged liberal woman began losing her mind at the sight of two men simply drinking coffee on the train without masks on. It’s unclear how she expected them to drink the coffee while wearing masks, but I digress.

Police Refute Hawley’s Claim That Protesters Threatened His Family, Claim Demonstration Was ‘Peaceful’

Police said Tuesday that a group of protesters that gathered outside the home of Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley were “peaceful” after the Senator said that the crowd threatened his family.

Alberta Avenue Community League working to turn park into MMIWG memorial

Liz John-West, a member of the community league, said the idea came as a City of Edmonton staff member reminded them there are several unnamed parks in the community.

Why China’s foreign minister says Biden’s presidency offers a ‘new window of hope’

Speaking to state media, Wang claimed that the Chinese Communist Party seeks only “an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world.” He explained that Biden’s election means “Sino-U.S. relations have come to a new crossroads and are expected to open new windows of hope. It is hoped that the new U.S. government will regain its rationality, resume dialogue, return bilateral relations to the right track, and restart cooperation.”

‘Growing body of evidence’ shows COVID-19 leaked from Chinese lab: US official

U.S. National Security Adviser Matthew Pottinger is doubling down on the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese government-run lab in Wuhan.

“There is a growing body of evidence that the lab is likely the most credible source of the virus,” Pottinger reportedly said, according to the Daily Mail.

Electric car driver discovers fast charge costs more than gas

Electric-powered cars are now the rage. Tesla’s market capitalization is seven times larger than that of General Motors and fourteen times larger than Ford’s, though it builds a fraction of the vehicles that those companies do. Many politicians are even considering banning gasoline-powered cars within a few years in favor of electric vehicles (EVs), all in the name of saving the planet.

Iran says ready to start enriching uranium to 20% ‘as soon as possible’

The Year of the Hypocrite

In the last episode of The Andrew Lawton Show of 2020, True North’s Andrew Lawton explains why the past year has become the year of the hypocrite in politics, with (former) Ontario finance minister Rod Phillips becoming the latest public official to think they are above the COVID-19 rules and guidelines the little people have to follow.

Trudeau Failed to Pass Basic Legislation To Target Illegal Firearms and Gangs

This has been a year unlike any other, to say the least.

Not only has the pandemic blown the cover of the hypocrisy of the elites leading our country like no other crisis before it, but we saw these same leaders double down time and again on policies that have only demonstrated themselves to be massive failures.

Why The Daily Wire Is Getting Into The Entertainment Business

My mentor, Andrew Breitbart, always said politics is downstream of culture. What he meant by this is that more people are shaped by the culture that surrounds them than by politics directly: we consume movies and TV shows; we get together and discuss the latest in sports; we join in churches and at universities and at restaurants to discuss our lives. We swim in a sea of culture. In large part, we’re defined by the culture in which we swim.

San Francisco’s pandemic grants will prioritize minority, women-owned biz

Small businesses struggling during the coronavirus pandemic in San Francisco are set to receive $5,000 grants, but there’s a catch – the money is being used to meet the city’s “equality goals,” meaning that “minority-owned businesses including women-owned, immigrant-owned, people of color-owned businesses,” and those in certain “cultural districts,” are going to be prioritized over white Americans.

The 10 Worst Legacy Media Abuses in 2020

From the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to the riots to the 2020 election, the left-leaning legacy media has twisted, subverted, and outright suppressed the news it is supposedly tasked with reporting. It is impossible to cover every instance of media bias against President Donald Trump, for Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., or propping up the far-Left’s increasingly stifling orthodoxy, but I have compiled what I believe to be the ten most egregious examples from 2020.

Sen. Hawley Confirms He Will Object to Electoral College Results, Sets Stage for Massive Showdown

Earlier this week during an interview on “Fox & Friends,” Republican Rep.

Calgary police hand 12 more fines to pastor who feeds the homeless

Calgary Street Church pastor Artur Pawlowski has been charged, yet again, by police for providing food to the homeless. Oh, and for organizing a protest, too.

Rebel News viewers might recognize Artur from the very beginning of our FightTheFines.com campaign, when my colleague Keean Bexte caught up with the pastor after he’d received a $1,200 fine for helping feed downtown Calgary’s homeless population.

Afterwards, we hired a lawyer to fight for Artur, and wouldn’t you know it? The police ended up dropping their ridiculous charge.

Ontario government releases ethical framework for COVID-19 vaccine decisions

The Ontario government will largely defer to the expertise of local public health units when it comes to decisions around who should receive the COVID-19 vaccine first among priority groups like health-care workers and long-term care residents.

China clamps down in hidden hunt for coronavirus origins

More than a year since the first known person was infected with the coronavirus, an AP investigation shows the Chinese government is strictly controlling all research into its origins while promoting fringe theories that the pandemic originated elsewhere.

The government is monitoring scientists’ findings and mandating that the publication of any research first be approved by a new task force managed by China’s cabinet under direct orders from President Xi Jinping, according to internal documents obtained by The AP. A rare leak from within the government, the dozens of pages of unpublished documents confirm what many have long suspected: The clampdown comes from the top.

STUNNING: All Major Western Media Outlets Take ‘Private Dinners’, ‘Sponsored Trips’ From Chinese Communist Propaganda Front

A host of corporate media outlets including CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and MSNBC have participated in private dinners and sponsored trips with the China-United States Exchange Foundation, a Chinese Communist Party-funded group seeking to garner “favorable coverage” and “disseminate positive messages” regarding China, The National Pulse can reveal.

Insanity Wrap #114: Transgender Propaganda Claims Straight Is Hate

Be straight. Be gay. Be whatever it is you are to the best extent you can manage, and find happiness by being in accordance with what you are.

But if your brain is so divorced from your own chromosomes that you have to play dress-up or either chemically or surgically alter your body in order to find some simulacrum of happiness, then at least have the decency not to demand that the rest of the world play along.

How many times has David Menzies been assaulted this year?

On a recent episode of our Rebel News Daily Livestream — subscribe to our YouTube channel now to never miss a stream! — David Menzies and Andrew Chapados looked back at the many, many times David was assaulted on the job in the past year.

100 apartments in 8 months: How Toronto built housing for the homeless at breakneck speed

In the face of overlapping crises, the city of Toronto has created a fast track to house people experiencing homelessness. As the impacts of the pandemic quickly hit this community harder than others, the city accelerated its efforts to build permanent supportive housing, using modular architecture.

The Biden era is on the horizon — but that doesn’t mean Canada-U.S. relations are back to normal

After Canada’s walk-on part in the U.S. reality-TV zeitgeist, the Joe Biden era will be boring by comparison — not such a bad thing, said Roy Norton, a former senior diplomat who did two stints at the Canadian Embassy in the 1990s and 2000s.

Insecure wheels: Police turn to car data to destroy suspects’ alibis

In recent years, investigators have realized that automobiles — particularly newer models — can be treasure troves of digital evidence. Their onboard computers generate and store data that can be used to reconstruct where a vehicle has been and what its passengers were doing. They reveal everything from location, speed and acceleration to when doors were opened and closed, whether texts and calls were made while the cellphone was plugged into the infotainment system, as well as voice commands and web histories.

We Found The Factories Inside China’s Mass Internment Camps

In August, BuzzFeed News uncovered hundreds of compounds in Xinjiang bearing the hallmarks of prisons or detention camps, many built during the last three years in a rapid escalation of China’s campaign against Muslim minorities including Uighurs, Kazakhs, and others. A new analysis shows that at least 135 of these compounds also hold factory buildings. Forced labor on a vast scale is almost certainly taking place inside facilities like these, according to researchers and interviews with former detainees.

Visitor restrictions negatively impacting long-term care residents

A plastic barrier sits on a table between Debbie Drew and her father during their visits in the reception area of a long-term care home where the first Canadian died of COVID-19.

Poland just stopped big tech censorship in its tracks! Why can’t we?

Big Tech companies may face an eye-popping $2.2 million fine if they violate the new ruling and censor any lawful free speech online, according to PolandIN.com.

One Simple Statistic Shows Cuomo Is Destroying NYC’s Restaurant Industry For No Reason

At least 4,500 restaurants in New York City have permanently closed their doors in the wake of COVID-19 lockdowns. Thanks to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s latest dictate, that number looks sure to surge.

Masked people dressed in white stormed a Toronto mall to protest COVID vaccines

A group of about a dozen people clad in white hazmat-like suits and expressionless masks roamed through a Toronto mall Wednesday.

A video of the group surfaced on the Weird Toronto Facebook group.

It starts with people entering Fairview Mall from a parking lot. A deep voice comes on over a loudspeaker as the people lumber through the mall, arms outstretched, past closed shops.

“Thinking for yourself endangers the common good,” the voice starts. “Body contact causes suffering.”

Montreal hospitals at risk of being overrun by mid-January: Quebec Institute of Health

The Institut national d’excellence en santé et en services sociaux (INESSS) wrote this week that Montreal and neighbouring regions are seeing increased cases five times greater than in other areas of Quebec.

“The increase in new projected hospitalizations is progressing even more markedly,” the report from the institute reads. “Projections predict a significant increase in bed occupancy in the coming weeks. Unlike in previous weeks, an overrun of dedicated capacities cannot be ruled out, especially as half of the designated beds are already occupied.”
