The protest convoy could cast a long shadow in Canadian politics

The key lesson of Ottawa’s siege might be that it’s difficult to get populist, anti-democratic anger to leave once you’ve invited it in and allowed it to get comfortable.

It may have been inevitable (or at least foreseeable) that some kind of tumult would result from the imposition of vaccine mandates. In 1885, compulsory vaccination in Montreal to deal with a smallpox outbreak caused a riot. In 1919, loud public opposition scuttled an attempt to implement compulsory vaccination against smallpox in Toronto.

The 3 Big Takeaways from the trucker protest?

1) The Media are brazen liars

2) Our political class are cowards

Large number of children among protesters hampering response, police say

Ottawa police say almost 25 per cent of the 418 trucks still involved in the ongoing demonstration downtown have children in them, which has hampered the force’s response and led to concerns about the children’s safety.

Police provided an update Tuesday afternoon where Deputy Chief Steve Bell said officers have issued more tickets, made more arrests, and launched dozens more criminal investigations during what they call an “occupation” of the downtown core, now in its 12th day.

Canadians less trusting of governments, politicians as pandemic drags on: Poll

OTTAWA — There is a noticeable decline in how trusting Canadians are of their leaders and institutions as the pandemic drags on, and it’s particularly striking among those who remain anxious or stressed about COVID-19, a new survey suggests.

“When we have 46 per cent of Canadians saying they still feel anxiety and stress, it’s taking a toll on trust in Canada,” said Bruce MacLellan, CEO of Proof Strategies.

Ontario reports 66 more COVID-19 deaths, 2,059 hospitalizations

Ontario reported 66 more COVID-19 deaths and just over 2,000 hospitalizations on Wednesday- more than a week after the province loosened some public health measures.

Sixty-five of the deaths occurred in the past month and one was added to the province’s cumulative death total due to a data cleanup, according to the Ministry of Health.

The dominos begin to fall: Most Canadian pandemic strictures should be gone by spring

Within hours of one another on Tuesday, Saskatchewan, P.E.I. and Alberta announced an imminent end to pandemic strictures, marking the first dominos to fall in what is poised to be a nationwide lifting of COVID-19 mandates.

Transmissibility of Omicron led to much higher death totals than past wave, research shows

People infected with the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 are less likely to die or experience severe outcomes compared with those infected with the Delta variant, emerging research shows.

However, the variant’s hypertransmissibility has led to daily death numbers that have eclipsed those of the previous wave, and a record number of hospitalizations, with Canada’s older population still at highest risk.

The Real Anthony Fauci: A Devastating Portrait of ‘America’s Doctor’

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s charismatic, benign persona hides a corrupt incompetence that views human life as irrelevant.

Fauci, perhaps more than any other federal official, is responsible for the United States having the world’s largest death toll from COVID-19. This despite lockdowns, social distancing, mask mandates and vaccine mandates.

Yet Fauci knew that none of those measures would work, as a new book reveals.

Music legend Alice Cooper says rock ‘n’ roll shouldn’t be political — and leftists blast the ‘School’s Out’ singer as ‘out of touch’

Still going strong at age 74, Cooper surprised — and some might say put off — some fans after going on the record in the last week by declaring that rock ‘n’ roll should be “anti-political.”

He added to the outlet, “I don’t think rock ‘n’ roll and politics belong in the same bed together, but a lot of people think it does — because we have a voice, and we should use our voice. But again, rock ‘n’ roll should be anti-political, I think.”

Mom Handcuffed, Jailed for Letting 14-Year-Old Babysit Kids During COVID-19

When COVID-19 shut down her children’s daycare in May of 2020, and Melissa Henderson had to go to work, she asked her 14-year-old daughter, Linley, to babysit the four younger siblings. Linley was engaged in remote learning when her youngest brother, four-year-old Thaddeus, spied his friend outside and went over to play with him. It was about 10 or 15 minutes before Linley realized he was missing. She guessed that he must be at his friend’s house, and went to fetch him.

In the meantime, the friend’s mom had called the police.

Trudeau Government Vows to Criminally Target American Donors Supporting Freedom Protest for “Undermining National Security”

Good grief, when the leftist government in Canada gets pushback, they really don’t know how to handle it. Earlier today, the Canadian government expressed extreme anger toward any American citizen who may have made a financial contribution to the Freedom Protest.

Is Trudeau Locked Into A Destructive Agenda He Cannot Escape From?

No single figure standing on Canadian soil has blockaded our economy and undermined our democracy like Mr. Trudeau. Setting this aside for a moment, we delve into another aspect of present-day politics.

Why is he like this? For what reason is this man’s approach to governance hard-wired under all circumstances? No matter what occurs in society, Trudeau never augments his approach. Our national leader comes across across like a mutant form of political zombie.

Truth Is Winning

On Saturday, I attended the Freedom Rally in Winnipeg in front of the Manitoba Legislature.

Here’s what I saw:

A large group of boisterous, happy, welcoming, and patriotic Canadians of all backgrounds.

The biggest thing that stood out was how many people were smiling, and how big those smiles were. This is being repeated throughout the nation at rallies and gatherings.

After years of governments trying to keep us afraid, angry, divided, and isolated, it turns out that being happy and gathering is one of the best ways to show our defiance.

Republicans Accuse Capitol Police Of Spying On Members Of Congress, Staff And Visitors

A number of GOP representatives have sent a signed letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Committee on House Administration Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), demanding that they look into recent reports that say members of Congress – in addition to their staff and visitors – are being “spied” on by Capitol Police for reasons unknown.

Seeking Diversity, When Will The NFL Demand More White, Latino, And Asian Players?

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo yesterday declaring that the league is failing to promote racial diversity. His message lamented the number of black head coaches in the NFL and labeled the current situation “unacceptable.” It was the league’s latest virtue signaling initiative to appease a race-obsessed mob. Of course, Goodell didn’t discuss the league’s real failure regarding diversity. Because if the NFL truly cared, it would start demanding more white, Latino, and Asian players on its teams’ rosters.

DHS Posts A New Terror Porn Memo

Mayorkas’s Department of Homeland Security issued a new “National Terrorism” bulletin on Monday, warning of a “continued  heightened threat environment” across the United States.

Now, what could that be about?

This comes as truckers protest in Canada and Americans plan their own rolling rally of trucks. Coincidence?

GoFundMe’s $10M shutdown of Canadian truckers shows it’s time to rein in Big Tech

When GoFundMe shut down funding Friday for the truckers’ Freedom Convoy, it didn’t just clobber Canadian rig drivers. It dealt a blow to the rights of Americans. Silicon Valley executives are trying to limit the causes Americans support, favoring leftist ones and canceling conservatives.

Canadian truckers launched a convoy to Ottawa last month, to protest Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s vaccine mandate on all rig drivers. Never mind the absurdity of requiring a truck driver alone behind the wheel for 18 hours a day to be vaccinated.
