$4.6 billion in COVID-19 financial aid overpayments went to ineligible recipients, audit finds

Canada’s auditor general says that while the federal government effectively delivered emergency COVID-19 benefits during the pandemic, deciding to not front-end verification resulted in $4.6 billion in overpayments to ineligible individuals.

After sending out an estimated $211 billion in COVID-19 aid, a performance audit tabled in the House of Commons on Tuesday found that the Canada Revenue Agency and Employment and Social Development Canada are “falling short” when it comes to following through on belatedly verifying recipients’ eligibility.

Meghan and Harry are exhausting the public patience

Prince Creep & Princess Creepier

Tolerance for Meghan and Harry is wearing thin across the Pond. That’s saying something, because there was little tolerance to begin with. But after the latest trailer of their Netflix documentary was released online, even the staunchest Sussex fans are feeling fed up.

However you feel about the pair, their latest theatrics have opened them up for criticism. The trailer, which has been drip-fed over the last week is, in true Sussex style, chock full of inaccuracies that they must deem the British public too stupid to notice.

Forget about It Jake, it’s Dearborn

Dearborn MI. is an evil place.

Dearborn man charged in antisemitic incident at Michigan synagogue

A Dearborn man has been charged with two counts of ethnic intimidation in what officials said was an antisemitic attack at a historic synagogue and preschool for Jewish students in Bloomfield Township.

Hassan Yehia Chokr, 35, was arrested by police after antisemitic and racist threats were made Friday against children, adults and security personnel outside Temple Beth El, Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said. He made remarks that were both anti-Jewish and anti-Black, said the temple’s leader.

The police call this de-escalation.

Adar Rubin, a Jewish community advocate in metro Detroit, posted a video on Twitter that showed an officer telling Chokr: “Do us a favor and don’t go back.” Chokr then said: “I won’t. … God bless you boys. … Get the real bad guys.”

Where in CBC’s mandate does it say “Pimp for Drag Queens who want to perform for children?”

Guelph drag queen sees all-ages shows targeted by social media campaigns

A Guelph drag queen says their shows are being targeted by two Ontario-based social media campaigns, resulting in the cancellation of one event and the performer feeling uneasy about an upcoming show.

Last month, Crystal Quartz had a drag brunch organized at Kelseys Original Roadhouse in Burlington. But following threats made to the restaurant, management was forced to cancel, the restaurant confirmed to CBC Kitchener-Waterloo. Restaurant management couldn’t disclose information about these threats due to an ongoing police investigation.

The CBC does not deserve tax payer funding as it in no way represents Canadian culture and values. Where in it’s mandate does it say “Pimp for Drag Queens?”

PS. I note this article makes no reference to CAHN the  so called “anti-hate” group found to be in support of the violent  Antifa organization in a recent court ruling. CAHN had previously been the CBC’s go-to community advocate for men who dress as women.

Will mask mandates return amid surges in kids hospitals? Trudeau, Ford won’t say

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is “extremely worried” about the realities facing children and families across Canada as high levels of respiratory illness among kids continue to swamp pediatric hospitals across the country.

The situation is so dire in parts of Ontario that the Red Cross is coming to the aid of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), which had to open a second intensive care unit last month to treat what it called an unprecedented number of critically ill babies and children.

Lametti won’t commit to delaying expansion of medically assisted dying despite growing calls to do so

Sick man

OTTAWA – Justice Minister David Lametti was pressed to delay the expansion of medical assistance in dying, amid growing reports Canadian institutions aren’t ready for the change, but declined to promise any pause.

The medically assisted death system didn’t initially include any provision for allowing people faced solely with a mental illness to commit suicide, but in a 2019 rewrite of the law, Senators expanded the scope and gave the government two years to come up with regulations before the law automatically expanded to include mental illness.

As the inquiry into the federal government’s decision to use the Emergencies Act during the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests nears the finish line, a new survey has found that two in three Canadians say they support, at least to some degree, the invocation of the Act.

More than 1,000 Canadians were asked about their thoughts on the Emergencies Act in a survey conducted by Nanos Research in the days after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took the stand at the inquiry. Of the respondents, 48 per cent said they support the use of the Emergencies Act, while 18 per cent said they somewhat support the decision.
