AstraZeneca vaccine linked with ‘spike’ in cases of rare disease that can paralyse victims

Scientists have drawn a link between the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine and a “spike” in cases of a rare disease that can leave its victims paralysed.

Three separate studies reported an increase in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) shortly after the roll out of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

GBS is a potentially deadly condition in which a person’s immune system attacks their nerves and gradually paralyses victims from the feet upwards. While most patients recover, it can be life-threatening or permanently debilitating.

Stopping the Mullahs vs. Getting Them All Set Up

The Biden administration’s policy towards the expansionist regime of Iran has been anchored in appeasement policies, including handing over billions of dollars in a seeming effort to bribe Iran’s mullahs not to cause even further trouble in the Middle East before the US presidential election on November 5, 2024.

Penn’s President Resigns, After Her Responses About Antisemitism

The president of the University of Pennsylvania, M. Elizabeth Magill, resigned on Saturday, four days after her testimony at a congressional hearing in which she seemed to evade the question of whether students who called for the genocide of Jews should be disciplined.

The announcement, in an email sent to the Penn community from Scott L. Bok, the chairman of the board of trustees, followed months of intense pressure from Jewish students, alumni and donors, who claimed that she had not taken their concerns about antisemitism on campus seriously.

We will all pay for Ottawa’s fiscal madness

It appears Justin Trudeau’s government has abandoned the goal of ever balancing its budget. In her fall economic update, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland laid out her new fiscal policy. And it’s deficits all the way to the horizon.

Rather than setting forward a plan to work back to a surplus after years of red ink, Freeland indulged in sleight of hand.

Expect fewer international students in wake of raised income requirements, advocate says

An international student at Memorial University in St. John’s says federal changes to the amount of required income for international students will provide transparency on what is needed to live in Canada but will also likely reduce the number of students who choose to study in the country.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced new rules Thursday that will increase the amount of money that prospective international students will need to study in Canada.

As a way to cut down on fraudulent applications, Miller said, students will need to show they have access to $20,635 instead of $10,000.

This program was always a scam, nothing will change.

Putin is close to victory. Europe should be terrified

With the Ukraine conflict languishing in stalemate, the possibility that Russian president Vladimir Putin might yet emerge victorious from his ill-judged invasion cannot be ignored, with all the implications such an outcome would have for Europe’s security.

Ukraine’s failure to make a decisive breakthrough in its counter-offensive during the summer has all but silenced the optimistic predictions made by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and his senior commanders that victory was within Kyiv’s grasp. Instead, the Ukrainian narrative is in danger of descending into recriminations over the refusal of its Western allies to provide Kyiv with the weaponry required to break the impasse on the battlefield. As the Ukrainian leader remarked in a recent interview, “We didn’t get all the weapons we wanted, I can’t be satisfied.”

Surging cost of living fuels reverse immigration from Trudeau’s economic disaster

TORONTO, Dec 9 (Reuters) – The dream of making it big in Canada is turning into a battle for survival for many immigrants due to the high cost of living and rental shortages, as rising emigration numbers hints to newcomers being forced to turn their back on a country that they chose to make their adopted home.

Trudeau has made immigration his main weapon to blunt Canada’s big challenge of an aging and slowing population, and it has also helped fuel economic growth. That drove Canada’s population up at its fastest clip in more than six decades this year, Statistics Canada said.

U of A law student says request to display menorah was met with removal of Christmas trees

A University of Alberta law student says she’s frustrated after her request to display a menorah in a study space led the faculty to instead remove Christmas trees.

Rachel Cook said she approached staff at law student services Tuesday after noticing Christmas trees, garlands and other seasonal decorations around a campus lounge. She offered to provide an electric menorah to mark Hanukkah and supplement another menorah lit on campus Thursday.
