The last of the Covidians

How should we treat those who refuse to acknowledge the pandemic is over?

They walk among us. The last of the Covidians. We see them every day, masked while walking their dog in the park, or alone in their car. We have that friend or loved one who badgers us about vaccines and boosters like a mid-level PR executive at Pfizer.

There is also the social media warrior who will never admit they got anything wrong about lockdowns, that even with our economy and education system in shambles, we should be grateful.

The Post-Pandemic Proves the Left Is a Monster

Its ideology is crazed, deformed, and incongruous.

I hate government rescue plans. Whenever the government comes to my rescue, I drown. The post-COVID bailout plan is turning out to be the biggest incompetence fest of the century: in both Europe and the United States, governments are funding environmental awareness activities, checks for kids to buy video games, or drag queen activities for kids like at the San Francisco Public Library’s Queer Cultural Center (ora pro nobis). Even before I get into the aberration that each of these initiatives is, a question comes to mind: what the hell does that have to do with the post-pandemic economic recovery? Nothing, of course.

How your right to know is getting stymied by the Denial Machine

Thirty-nine years ago, after a wave of post-Watergate epiphanies about government secrecy, the Canadian government passed the first federal Access to Information Act. Ever since then it is has been building a denial machine.

It would be easy to pin the blame on secretive politicians trying to obstruct the public’s ability to know what is going on inside government, because they have done that. Prime ministers including Justin Trudeau and his predecessor, Stephen Harper, have broken promises to open government.

GUNTER: Smith would do well to tie Notley to Trudeau ahead of spring Alberta election

If you want to know why Danielle Smith’s anti-Ottawa message was so popular during the recently concluded UCP leadership campaign, consider this one statistic. Annual investment in Alberta’s energy sector remains only about one-half of what it was before the world price of oil collapsed in 2014.

Article content
Other oil-producing countries, such as the United States, Norway and Saudi Arabia, that aren’t in the midst of war or domestic turmoil (Russia, Venezuela, Iran), have seen their oil and gas investment return to 70 per cent or more of 2014 levels. But not Canada.

Thanks to the Biden Administration, Russia and Iran Are Closer than Ever

Thanks to the Biden administration’s weak, or absent, leadership, Russia and the regime of Iran’s mullahs have become closer, more emboldened and more empowered than ever.

The two bedfellows, the authoritarian regimes of Russia and Iran, are, thanks to the Biden administration, running the Iran nuclear talks, while the US waits out in the hall. Russia’s chief negotiator, Mikhail Ulyanov, earlier this year praised his Iranian “colleagues”:

“I am absolutely sincere in this regard when I say that Iran got much more than it could expect [from the Biden administration]. Our Chinese friends were also very efficient and useful as co-negotiators.”

Ulyanov also said that the Iranian leaders “are fighting for [their] national interest like lions. They fight for every comma, every word, and as a rule, quite successfully.”

The US, certainly it’s State Dept., wants a strong Iran as a counterpoint to Israel. This will ease their exit from the ME. Or so they believe.

National Guard struggles as troops leave at faster pace

WASHINGTON (AP) — Soldiers are leaving the Army National Guard at a faster rate than they are enlisting, fueling concerns that in the coming years units around the country may not meet military requirements for overseas and other deployments.

For individual states, which rely on their Guard members for a wide range of missions, it means some are falling short of their troop totals this year, while others may fare better. But the losses comes as many are facing an active hurricane season, fires in the West and continued demand for units overseas, including combat tours in Syria and training missions in Europe for nations worried about threats from Russia.

Canada’s Dilemma

Canada is in serious trouble. To arrive at that conclusion, all one need do is pay attention. In evident violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms embedded in the Constitution, essential to a functioning democracy, Canada was one of the few countries in the world determined to coerce vaccine mandates and impose possibly illegal travel apps and quarantine protocols. These measures have been paused, but the government obviously maintains the right to re-impose them at a moment’s notice. “The process and app remain in place.”

Undeterred in his march toward despotic rule, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is poised to introduce a digital currency, which will give the government financial control of banking and discretionary spending at the expense of private citizens and consumers.

In an email to students it did not specify which events would be restricted in the programme of talks, film screenings and dance nights.

Trump wanted to swap Mar-a-Lago documents for Russia investigation files: Report

Former President Donald Trump tried to cut a deal with the National Archives and Records Administration to exchange boxes of material held at Mar-a-Lago for documents related to the FBI’s investigation of his ties to Russia, according to a report.

Hockey Canada’s descent into scandal: From ‘custodians of the game’ to ‘toxic’ status

Perhaps the leadership of Hockey Canada thought Canadians loved their hockey more than people, like executives of the sport’s national governing body are accused of doing, by deed if not intent.

Over six months of scandal and investigation, the organization that calls itself the “custodians of the game” has faced withering criticism without easing concerns of sponsors, politicians, citizens or other hockey groups.

‘Malicious and targeted’ sabotage halts rail traffic in northern Germany

BERLIN (Reuters) -Cables vital for the rail network were intentionally cut in two places causing a near three-hour halt to all rail traffic in northern Germany on Saturday morning, in what authorities called an act of sabotage without identifying who might be responsible.

The federal police are investigating the incident, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said, adding the motive for it was unclear.

The disruption raised alarm bells after NATO and the European Union last month stressed the need to protect critical infrastructure after what they called acts of sabotage on the Nord Stream gas pipelines.

‘Someone will fall victim’: insiders reveal elite anguish as Russia’s war falters

Friends, rivals and enemies took their seats in the Grand Kremlin Palace as Vladimir Putin gathered the country’s elite to formalise Russia’s illegal annexation of four occupied regions in Ukraine.

The ceremony was meant to portray strength and unity, but within 24 hours had been overshadowed by Russia’s failures on the battlefield. These losses, which continued into this week on the southern and eastern fronts in Ukraine, have led to a major, unprecedented rupture within the ruling class as the Kremlin seeks scapegoats for a series of military embarrassments.
