O’Toole faces divided caucus as retreat begins with leadership questions looming

Erin O’Toole faced restive MPs and grassroots questions about his leadership on the first day of a Conservative caucus retreat — and worse could be yet to come Thursday when MPs are presented with a long-awaited post mortem on the party’s election loss.

Wednesday marked the first time O’Toole has met with his team this year as he continues dealing with calls for his leadership to be reviewed and some in caucus questioning his ability to even do the job.

The freshly scrubbed of all things ‘icky conservative’ party is living its best life with O’Toole as leader. It makes no sense to replace him just as it makes no sense to vote for the CPC if you are a conservative. Find a new home.

Trudeau Liberals used crappy deal with Communist China Lab to justify even crappier Covid Vaxx deal

CanSino-McMaster deal may turn out to be ‘case study of what not to do in partnerships with China’: expert

The federal government has trumpeted previous vaccine partnerships with a China-based company as one of the reasons why Canada was pinning its hopes on a COVID-19 vaccine candidate from China early in the pandemic.

But The Fifth Estate has reviewed those partnerships and found that a collaboration with McMaster University in Hamilton stalled years ago and never resulted in an approved vaccine anywhere in the world.

… After the deal fell apart, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters that the reason Canada partnered with CanSino was because of the “well-established partnership” between scientists in Canada and China “that has been effective in the past.”

‘Fringe minority’ in truck convoy with ‘unacceptable views’ don’t represent Canadians: Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the “fringe minority” heading to Ottawa in a truck convoy that hold “unacceptable views” don’t represent the way most Canadians feel.

He made the comments in a press conference Wednesday evening, on the heels of Global News reports that far-right and white nationalist groups see the convoy as an opportunity.

Trudeau was elected by something like 22% of eligible voters… sounds pretty fringey to me.

Big Brother Alert! US Gov’t Submitted More Info Requests To Twitter Than Any Other Country

Twitter VP Sinéad McSweeney warned of unprecedented authorities crackdowns on free speech and requests for surveillance of web customers within the platform’s newest transparency report.

It speaks volumes when Huge Tech executives sound the alarm on censorship. “In a change from our final reporting interval, the USA grew to become the one largest supply of presidency info requests with 3,026 requests, accounting for twenty-four% of the worldwide quantity we acquired throughout this era,” Twitter defined in the transparency report issued on Jan. 25. “These requests accounted for 27% of all accounts specified from around the globe and Twitter complied, in entire or partly, with 68% of those U.S. info requests.” “We’re going through unprecedented challenges as governments around the globe more and more try and intervene and take away content material,” the report quoted firm Vice President of World Public Coverage and Philanthropy McSweeney as saying. “This menace to privateness and freedom of expression is a deeply worrying pattern that requires our full consideration.”

Cursed by catastrophically low approval ratings, Joe Biden is still more popular than Trudeau

Just one year into his first term, U.S. President Joe Biden is experiencing approval ratings so low that even close supporters are calling it a portent of electoral doom. Which might explain why the president was testy enough on Monday to refer to a Fox News reporter as a “stupid son of a bitch.”

And yet, Biden is still more popular than Justin Trudeau, a prime minister only three months out from his last election win.

Rights Cannot Be Ignored By “Popular” Policies

British Columbia’s “temporary” health measures have once again become a little less temporary. On January 18, BC’s Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced that the government was extending events and gatherings restrictions until February 16. Dr. Henry also confirmed that there would be no relaxation of the province’s proof of vaccination policy.

When asked how long the proof of vaccination policy would remain in place, Dr. Henry stated that there have been no final decisions about its duration. Dr. Henry’s comments were followed by Health Minister Adrian Dix, who praised the proof of vaccination program as “popular” with British Columbians.

Transportation Minister Omar Alghabra Labels Convoy Truckers “Far-Right”

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra is concerned “about the small number of far-right, vocal opposition that is polluting the political debate sparked by a vaccine mandate for Canadian truckers.

Mr. Alghabra, half-citizen of Syria, is attempting to transform the image of the convoy truckers into a racist contingent. He is in good company. Ever since Justin Trudeau came to power, the “race card” has been a primary tool to quell opposition to Liberal Party policy.

Biden Adviser Says Americans Should Care About Ukraine Because ‘Borders Should Be Inviolate’

“The Joe Rogan Experience” reaches an average of 11 million people per episode, The Blaze noted, adding, “CNN Primetime averages less than one million. The regime and its acolytes in the media call for Rogan’s censorship because they are losing to him. They resent the fact that the guy who hosted ‘Fear Factor’ is thought of as a more reliable news source than their legacy networks.”

Fauci Predicts ‘A Bit More Pain & Suffering’ For Unvaccinated

Fauci has been one of the lead advocates for Covid-19 vaccinations and boosters, but he admitted that varying vaccination rates across the country will not significantly affect Omicron infection rates in the US. Some areas, however, may face “a bit more pain and suffering from hospitalizations in those areas of the country that have not been fully vaccinated or have not gotten boosters.”

Never mind that we have data from multiple countries that shows the vaccinated are >70% of those hospitalized with Covid. Lying shitweasel.

Defender of the Dhimmis

Recently I was in the city of Hassakeh, Syria, sitting and making small talk with two Syrians, one Kurdish and the other Syriac Christian. The Christian said he would like to invite me to his house but, because he lives in the government-controlled area of the city, he couldn’t. He’d previously had a guest from another Arab country, and the government’s security service immediately knocked on his door, asking who the guest was. As an American journalist without a Syrian visa, I would not be welcome in the government-held part of the city. (Hassakeh is currently divided between the majority of the city that falls under the control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces and a small section that falls under the control of the Syrian government.) The Kurd sitting with us immediately piped in, saying that it was for the people’s benefit that the government kept such a close watch on the security situation. That was why Syria was so safe before the war. The Christian enthusiastically agreed.

‘I got 12 years and 74 lashes’: Confess, the band jailed for playing metal in Iran

For almost as long as it’s existed, heavy metal has been used as protest music. On Black Sabbath’s Paranoid, the first thing you’re barraged with is War Pigs: a seven-minute savaging of the politicians who instigated the Vietnam war. Iron Maiden once had their mascot, Eddie, murder Margaret Thatcher on a single’s artwork; Metallica and Megadeth spent the 1980s lambasting cold war superpowers that didn’t know whether to shake hands or nuke each other.
