‘Huge spike’ in population adding to pressures on Ontario ERs

“Huge spikes” in population are adding to the “sustained pressure” felt by the province’s emergency rooms, the Ontario Hospital Association is warning.

In a statement Wednesday, the group said Ontario’s rapidly rising population is linked to growing wait times and high levels of hospital occupancy amid the circulation of rampant respiratory illnesses.

As of January 13, there were 1,274 COVID-19 patients, 445 flu patients and 158 RSV patients receiving care at Ontario hospitals, according to the OHA.

Pakistan: Young Christian Unjustly Sentenced to Death

Shahzad Masih, a Pakistani Christian, was 16 years old and working in a hospital as a janitor in 2017, when Muslims falsely accused him of blasphemy. Since then, has spent more than five years in prison, and has been sentenced to death by hanging for statements he did not even make.

In 2017, authorities arrested Masih after a Muslim coworker and another man linked with the Islamic terrorist group, Tehreek-e-Taliban Islami Pakistan (TTIP), accused him of insulting Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. In 2022, a court sentenced Masih to death.

For nearly a decade after 911 Pakistan was the largest source country for Muslim immigrants to Canada.

Andrew, Harry and Beatrice will not serve as counsellors of state

Buckingham Palace has quietly made provision to prevent both the Duke of York and Duke of Sussex from acting as substitutes for the King.

Prince Andrew stepped down from royal duties in November 2019, while Prince Harry quit his royal role in 2020 to move to the United States.

Both remain counsellors of state — members of the royal family who can officially carry out duties if the sovereign is unwell or abroad. However, the King discreetly made provision to sideline them in an act instigated shortly after he ascended the throne.

This is rumoured to being a prelude to ostracism if required for Andy and Harry.

Is your cat non-binary? The madness of inclusivity drive at pet modelling agency

Company that supplies animals for television work asks question that leaves owners scratching their heads

An agency that supplies animals to the media has asked owners whether their pets are gender neutral or non-binary in a drive to be more “inclusive”.

Urban Paws, which describes itself as the leading animal talent agency in the UK, included four gender options on the application form owners are required to complete to register their pets: male, female, gender neutral/non-binary and prefer not to say.

Is Trudeau’s latest vacation scandal a sign he has already checked out?

Colourful Quebec Conservative MP Jacques Gourde came up with a delicious pun to describe the varying explanations given by the Prime Minister’s Office about Justin Trudeau’s Christmas vacation at a friend’s luxury Jamaican villa.

During a Wednesday House of Commons ethics committee hearing looking into Mr. Trudeau’s 10-day stay at the exclusive Prospect Estate resort, located on the site of an 18th-century sugar plantation, Mr. Gourde used a French expression whose English translation roughly means “Trying to pull the wool over our eyes.” Literally, however, the expression “Nous prendre pour des valises” translates as “taking us for suitcases.”

Vacation, suitcases. You get it, right?

We can hope. But I suspect he is too vain to give up despite being one of the most hated PM’s in our history.

UK: Outrage as Foreign Office sexual violence adviser backs claim that Israel lied about rapes

Foreign Office sexual violence adviser signed petition denying abuse of Jews

A Foreign Office adviser leading the fight against female genital mutilation (FGM) signed a petition dismissing reports of rape committed by Hamas on October 7 as “propaganda” to justify Israel’s “genocide” against Palestinians, the JC can reveal.

Dimpy Sanganee works in the Foreign Office’s Gender and Equalities department and has an “instrumental” role in tackling violence against women and girls. Earlier this month, she signed a petition that wrongly alleged that a major New York Times article revealing the full horror of sexual violence on October 7 cited “no evidence”.

I wonder how much of this sort of nonsense is kept hidden in Canada.

The Crown broke a promise to First Nations. It could now owe billions.

Criminal colonizer cis-gendered white males

Patricia Tangie’s ancestors thought they had a deal.

More than 170 years ago, before Canada confederated in 1867, Indigenous people in what’s now Northern Ontario signed treaties, ceding a vast territory north of Lake Superior and Lake Huron to the Crown in exchange for a promise: that the wealth flowing from the land would be shared with them.

“The distinction between Hamas and “ordinary” Palestinians is largely spurious.”

The west’s lethal error in the war against Israel

In the current war in the Middle East, it’s a given that a distinction must be drawn between Hamas and the “ordinary” Palestinian Arab residents of Gaza.

This distinction, however, is largely spurious.

An article in The Washington Free Beacon that drew upon interviews given to Israeli TV by freed hostages has confirmed that ordinary Gazans were deeply involved in the Oct. 7 pogrom and subjected the hostages to cruelty, abuse and starvation.

Here’s where some Trudeau Liberals say they’ve gone wrong — and how the party can turn it around

OTTAWA — Apparently, being Liberal isn’t as fun as it used to be.

Sean Casey, the long-serving MP for Charlottetown, will admit that. And how could he deny it? One glance at the polls would make any Grit cringe. Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives — whom many Liberals disdain as their ideological opposites — are threatening to unseat them. And Casey has picked up on public fatigue with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which he sees as the predictable result of grievances accumulated through eight years in power.

Even so, to Liberals like Casey, it is too early for defeatism.

Squad member Jamaal Bowman says he wants all 42 million black Americans to get $333,000 in slave reparations

A New York lawmaker is calling for every black person in the US to receive $333,000 as reparations for slavery.

Jamaal Bowman is among nine backers of federal bill H.R. 414, which states there is a ‘moral and legal obligation’ to make restitution to the descendants of slaves.

The legislation would force the government to distribute $14 trillion between almost 42 million black Americans.

Douglas Todd: Ottawa insider warns about immigrant-investor schemes

“The strange story of Vancouver” is the name of an internal immigration department memo that reveals the many things wrong with Canada’s earlier business-investor programs. That hasn’t stopped Ottawa from expanding a related scheme.

An adviser within Canada’s immigration department is warning about the dangers of entry programs that favour entrepreneurs, given the failure of earlier initiatives.

The internal cautions come at the same time the immigration department, which has been under fire from top bank economists for damaging the economy by bringing in a record 1.25 million permanent and temporary residents in a year, is expanding another program that gives preference to would-be entrepreneurs.
