If you drive a car, you might be worried about how the rise of low-traffic neighbourhoods across Britain will affect your daily life. But before you voice your concerns online or talk to other worried motorists, you need to be careful. Because according to warnings from the mainstream media, you could soon find yourself tumbling down a dark, conspiratorial rabbit hole.
Hmm this is much worse than I read the first go round.

Under the heading “Tin Foil Hat Party,” a headline in the once-influential music magazine Rolling Stone spouted about “The Conspiracies Powering the GOP-Controlled House — How Republicans have put disinformation and falsehoods at the center of their governing agenda.”
What are some of the ghastly things the GOP wants to do with a new committee?
Several groups who have received direct funding from the Canadian government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are demanding an Ottawa venue cancel an event featuring psychologist Dr Jordan Peterson.
WATERLOO — In the spaces where strict COVID-19 mandates remain, anti-mandate protesters remain.
At Wilfrid Laurier University — one of five universities in Ontario where masks are still mandatory — some students are gearing up for an anti-mandate protest at the end of the month at Waterloo Town Square.
The demonstration is being planned by Kamil Bachouchi, a fourth-year philosophy student at Laurier whose posts have gone viral for wearing nonstandard masks to class — he has worn a scuba mask, a piece of romaine lettuce and a garbage bin in lieu of a standard medical mask.

It might seem impossible to hurt the feelings of a 3,000-year-old corpse. But woke museum chiefs have stopped using the word ‘mummy’ to describe the remains of ancient Egyptians, all in the name of ‘respect’.
They say the term is dehumanising to those who died and – of course – an unwelcome throwback to Britain’s colonial past.
The phrase now deemed politically acceptable is ‘mummified person’ or ‘mummified remains’.
Muslim convert Jack Letts, who was stripped of UK citizenship, is one of 23 people who will return to Canada from Syria
Canada will repatriate the British-born Isil member known as “Jihadi Jack” along with 22 other citizens held in Islamic State prison camps in north-east Syria.
Muslim convert Jack Letts, 28, who had held dual British and Canadian citizenship, declared he was an “enemy of Britain” after travelling from Oxfordshire to Syria to join the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant (Isil) terror group as a teenager.
He begged to be allowed to return to the UK, insisting he had “no intention” of killing Britons, after he was captured by Kurdish forces in 2017.
Justin Trudeau is very aware of just how much he’s become a lightning rod for anger in Canada.
It’s kind of hard to miss. As we sat together in a meeting room at the University of Windsor this week, a gaggle of protesters with the now-familiar “F— Trudeau” flags were gathered outside, cheered on by a mini-convoy of a dozen or so flag-waving, horn-honking trucks.
“It doesn’t affect me personally in the slightest,” the prime minister says.
But wait. Shouldn’t it?

The infamous McDonald’s based in Ottawa, Canada, which saw more than 900 fights in recent years, will shut down after nearly 40 years of service.
Peter Crosthwaite, who owns the building on Rideau Street, told CTV that the franchise owner decided not to renew the lease, with the restaurant set to shut down in April.
The McDonald’s, which a former manager dubbed ‘the worst,’ is mostly known for a viral video of a large 2013 brawl inside its doors that saw customers trading blows while one man pulled out a raccoon from his jacket.
BMO CEO Addresses Suggestion to Designate Convoy Protesters as ‘Terrorists’ to Freeze Accounts
The CEO of Canadian bank BMO addressed on Jan. 19 the revelation that he had recommended to the finance minister that Freedom Convoy protesters be designated as “terrorists” to facilitate the freezing of their financial accounts last year.
“I would never call the convoy protesters terrorists. What was said is that in order for the banks to be helpful, there are certain protocols,” Darryl White told True North’s Andrew Lawton reporting from Davos, Switzerland.
“Those protocols include sanction where we can in fact, help in that case, otherwise, it’s not our business to interfere in the affairs of anyone’s finances, truckers or otherwise.”
Looks like we all need to drink less alcohol.
Last fall, the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA), a national organization that provides information and advice on substance use and addiction, shared recommendations that we should all drink no more than one or two drinks a week. We just learned that these are now Canada’s official guidelines.
Nanny Staters are just that stupid.
Human error behind glitch that caused 11,000 flights to be delayed across the country’s airports, say investigators
US planes were grounded nationwide last week because a contractor “unintentionally deleted files” on a crucial computer server used by pilots, investigators found.
The glitch led to travel chaos with more than 11,000 flights delayed and at least 1,300 cancelled on Jan 11.
The blunder marked the first time since the 9/11 attacks that flights across the US were grounded.
