“I’m getting pictures like this from grocery stores across Alberta this morning. This is turning into a crisis,” Kenney writes in a Tweet. “It requires immediate action by the Canadian and US governments.”
Finally, Canadians from coast-to-coast are starting to ask the right questions about our provincially run health care systems.
In comparing Justin Trudeau to national leaders of the past, there has always been something “off” about our current prime minister. Despite media’s attempt to have it appear otherwise, Mr. Trudeau general vibe is underpinned with an aura of the authoritarian.

It’s becoming ever more apparent that the government health intelligentsia’s efforts to protect Americans from COVID have been a complete failure. That’s why you’ve heard nothing about its success.
WHO warns against comparing Covid to flu because it’s still ‘very nasty’ and ‘full of surprises’ — as official claims we’re only at ‘halfway mark’ of pandemic.
Americans are facing a pet food shortage due to many breakdowns with the Biden administration, including a disaster in employment, a lack of goods, higher demand for goods- and a trucking work stoppage- and according to media reports, it can be expected that 2022 will be a disaster for the Biden administration. And Pet lovers are going to feel the Biden blowout- in their hearts when they go to feed their animals.
The news over the weekend had binary stories about the ongoing situation on the Ukraine border, where Putin is amassing tanks and troops. On the one side, we have stories about Biden doing the tough guy thing, with his talk about troops on the ground and his orders that diplomats’ families leave Ukraine. However, on the other side, the European side, the two biggest E.U. nations are trying to set up their own peace talks with Ukraine and Russia.
… At any rate, given the outcome at the scene, from a professional statecraft perspective, De Sarno and his team played things by the book. De Sarno’s denial of the terrorist’s anti-Semitic motivation had nothing to do with professionalism. It was a political/ideological pronouncement. It wasn’t made in a vacuum, and it should be deeply disconcerting to all Americans because it is a testament to a growing pathology within the FBI.
Over the past 15 years, much of the federal government, including the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice, have been politicized and radicalized. The first major demonstration of the politicization came in 2013 with the IRS’s discriminatory use of its regulatory authorities against organizations and individuals aligned with the conservative and Republican side of the ideological/political spectrum.
Five-time Emmy award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson said she has seen an increased effort to manipulate the public to appreciate censorship and disapprove of journalism. One of the strategies that has been employed is the use of third-party fact-checkers, she said.
“Nearly every mode of information has been co-opted, if it can be co-opted by some group, [and] fact-checkers are no different,” Attkisson told EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders.”
“Either they’ve been co-opted, in many instances, or created for the purpose of distributing narratives and propaganda,” said Attkisson. “This is all part of a very well-funded, well-organized landscape that dictates and slants the information they want us to have.”
The dangerous delusions about “diplomatic engagement.”
For nearly two decades Russian President Vladimir Putin has challenged the West’s “rules-based international order” seemingly validated by the collapse of the Soviet Union, which Putin has called “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.” During that time, Western leaders have imposed economic sanctions on Russia, and diplomats have scolded Putin for his violation of human rights and the borders of his neighbors, illiberal policies and murders of political rivals, and ongoing attempts to restore the old Soviet domination of Eastern Europe.
Attitudes are no longer about red states or blue states — it’s all down to class
In the US, the divide over Covid-19 restrictions is often cast as a matter of red versus blue states. Republican states like Florida have banned vaccine passports and school mask mandates, and have heavily restricted the ability of employers to mandate vaccination for their employees. In blue states, and especially in deep-blue cities like New York and Washington, D.C., mask mandates are the norm and patrons are required to show proof of vaccination to enter a bar, eat indoors at a restaurant, or go to a movie theatre or gym.
Protests are a dime a dozen. Heck they’re a dime a hundred. There’s a subset of people who go to protests more often than ordinary folks go to Tim Hortons. They’re an occupation for people who don’t have jobs. “Is it Tuesday, already?” (Checks calendar.) “Bay and Bloor blockade, 1 p.m. till media leave.”
