Lockdown fanatics can’t escape blame for this scandal

Those who warned about the inevitable increase in non-Covid deaths were denounced as selfish murderers

Some time ago, I received a heartbreaking email from a lady called Lisa King, detailing how Peter, her beloved husband of 21 years, had become a tragic casualty of Covid.

The father of two, 62, did not catch coronavirus. He died on October 9, 2020 because he was repeatedly denied a face-to-face GP appointment during the pandemic – only to be told that an urgent operation to remove his gallbladder had been delayed because of spiralling NHS waiting lists.

His sudden death, in agonising pain, was completely avoidable.

As Mrs King told me at the time: “To the decision makers, he is nothing more than ‘collateral damage’, but to me, he is the love of my life.”

TUPOC demands apologies, asserts its right to be at former St. Brigid’s church

The United People of Canada tried once again to explain its presence in St. Brigid’s church in a rambling Saturday afternoon media conference live-streamed on Facebook and continually disrupted by hecklers.

Speaking to a gathering of about 30 people in the deconsecrated Catholic church, TUPOC’s Diane Nolan asserted that an eviction notice served this past week was invalid, and she said the group deserved an apology for how it had been characterized.

The Nut Who Likened the Rosary to an AR-15 Finds ‘Hate’ for a Living – funded by the Trudeau Government

It would have been charitable to think that The Atlantic’s appalling recent piece likening the rosary, the popular Catholic devotional, to an AR-15 rifle and painting a dark picture of armed, rosary-praying Catholics ready to unleash papal mayhem on the peaceful citizenry was the product of a writer with no ideas and a looming deadline. As it turns out, however, the author of the piece, Daniel Panneton, wasn’t just throwing something at the wall and hoping it would stick long enough for him to collect a paycheck. On the contrary, he does this sort of thing for a living.

Mia Cathell over at Townhall revealed Tuesday that when he isn’t cowering in fear over praying Catholics, Panneton is Manager of the Online Hate Research & Education Project, which is, notes Cathell, “an 18-month venture funded by a generous $340,000 grant from the Canadian government’s Anti-Racism Action Program.” When you’ve got that kind of government funding, you’ve got to come up with the goods. Can’t find enough actual hate? Well, any old thing will do. Even rosaries.

Success Of Right Wing Podcasts An Annoyance To Globe Reporter & Friends

How podcasts have become misinformation machines — and what can be done about it

“… That’s part of the appeal of podcasts for listeners who feel disenfranchised from mainstream news and media.

“There has been a clamouring in recent years for a totally independent and isolated and bubble-wrapped media ecosystem on the right — and they’ve created it,” Ling said.

“They’ve created it thanks to a ton of money from some investors and ideologues, but also because there’s been just an outpouring of enthusiasm.”


Not satisfied that the Left dominates Canada’s government paid media Rachel and friends denounce the success of scary right wing podcasts. Seriously. It’s the same old MSM propaganda tactics at work, create a “scare” to advance an agenda and demonize dissent.

 “Journalist” Rachel Gilmore travels in the usual circles.

One of the “experts” cited is Ahmed Al-Rawi,  he is the typical sort of left wing ideologue  employed at our universities who refers to “hookers” as front line pandemic workers. Loves him his Palestine too, very pleased to remind us that so does Salman Rushdie.

Daughter of Putin’s closest aide ‘assassinated in attack meant for her father’

This is the moment Putin’s aide Alexander Dugin watches the flaming wreckage of a car bomb meant for him that killed his daughter instead when the two switched vehicles last minute.

Dugin, a notorious fascist and Russian ultranationalist, is in hospital after being filmed at the scene of the explosion that killed his 35 year old daughter, Darya Dugina.

He was travelling on a highway near the village of Bolshiye Vyazyomy just outside the capital on Saturday night — but decided to travel in a different car to his daughter, avoiding death only by chance.

Pierre Poilievre’s looming ascension to Tory leader has Liberals — and some Conservatives — wary about what comes next

OTTAWA — Although three weeks remain in the Conservative party’s leadership race, the talk in political circles has already shifted to what’s next.

Pierre Poilievre’s victory is being treated as a foregone conclusion by his rivals and allies alike. He has upwards of $5 million in the bank, more than 300,000 party members signed up behind his cause, and the crowds turning up at get-out-the-vote events are assuaging earlier fears that all of the new members he’s recruited wouldn’t turn out to vote.

I think it’s almost 48 hours since the last Poilievre hit piece, if so that would be a new record.

Exclusive — University of Virginia Newspaper Calls to Remove Thomas Jefferson: ‘Buildings Must Be Renamed and Memorials Removed’

The University and the greater Charlottesville, Virginia, area in which it is located has taken it upon themselves to be defined not by academics, or history, or any other trait. Rather, those in charge of local government and University administration prefer to be defined by a single characteristic: the August 12, 2017, “Unite the Right” rally.

One week ago was the five-year anniversary of the rally, and Charlottesville residents and University students and alumni were reliably accosted by “never forget”-style messages, being told that everyone needed to “do more” to atone for what happened there.

Trudeau vows to protect the French in Canada

New census data showing a decline in French in Canada is “extremely concerning”, the prime minister said on Friday, but added that Ottawa still has a responsibility to protect linguistic minorities across the country, including in Quebec.

During a visit to Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Qué., Trudeau reacted to data released this week indicating that the proportion of Canadians who speak primarily French at home has fallen in nearly all provinces and territories. In Quebec, the percentage of people who speak mainly French at home fell to 77.5% in 2021 from 82.3% 20 years earlier.

Trudeau said that while the data is shocking, “we could see this in the last couple of years.”

Is this the great bait & switch? Canada now says hydrogen better than LNG for German needs

Providing clean hydrogen to Germany and the rest of Europe is a better opportunity for Canada than trying to build liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals as the world moves away from fossil fuels, said Canada’s natural resources minister late on Thursday.

Canada and Germany are discussing building LNG terminals on the Canadian Atlantic coast within the next five years ahead of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Canadian visit next week. Germany has been trying to wean itself from its dependence on Russian gas since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February.

But the costs of transporting gas from Alberta in the Canadian west to the East Coast would be high. A new pipeline would be needed, and the global shift away from fossil fuels means the terminal’s lifetime would be too short to be profitable unless converted into a hydrogen terminal when gas demand declines.

“We’re working through those issues. But what I would say is… on the East Coast, the big opportunity is hydrogen,” Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson told Reuters.

Wokeness Is Ripping Through America’s Schools. Here’s How To Protect Your Children From It

It’s back to school! You bought all the school supplies and new clothes, but what about insulating your children against school indoctrination? Sadly, indoctrination resistance is now part of going back to school so you must stay vigilant and teach your children personal boundaries.

Lesson plans about “social identity,” which may be called Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Critical Race Theory, cultural competency, or other names, obliterate the personal boundaries of children in order to break down kids emotionally and build them back up as social justice activists. The process involves forging emotional bonds to influence children to become political proteges of the teachers and peers that emotionally manipulated them.

Adopting leftists’ mindsets and behaviors becomes an act of loyalty to a collective identity that is prioritized over individual human value.

Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine coverage flatlining as fall nears: ‘The stakes are high’

 

As fall approaches, experts are urging Canadian governments to create new COVID-19 vaccine campaigns to try to boost the country’s stagnant inoculation rate to avoid overwhelming an already strained health-care system.

About 82 per cent of the entire population is fully vaccinated, with roughly half receiving a third dose and just 11 per cent getting a fourth shot, the latest federal data reported on July 17 shows. Aside from fourth doses, which became available this summer, vaccination coverage hasn’t moved significantly in months.
