Ontario’s top doctor said Wednesday that he would not recommend a tax on those who aren’t vaccinated against COVID-19 and said that Quebec’s plan seems “punitive.”
Dr. Kieran Moore was asked during an unrelated press conference Wednesday for him comments on Quebec’s planned tax on the unvaccinated and whether Ontario should consider a similar measure.
A Rhodes Scholar who won a coveted scholarship at Oxford after claiming she overcame childhood abuse and grew up in foster care has been accused of lying to officials and is in fact the daughter of a radiologist who went to private school.
Mackenzie Fierceton, 24, describes herself as a ‘queer, first generation, low income’ student at The University of Pennsylvania. In 2020, she was given a scholarship to go to Oxford after dazzling the Rhodes Trust with her story of how she overcame welfare, an abusive mother and the foster care system.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Attorneys for a woman who left her Alabama home to join the Islamic State terror group plan to continue fighting for her and her young son even though the Supreme Court declined to consider her lawsuit seeking to re-enter the United States, one of the lawyers said Wednesday.
Hoda Muthana and her 4-year-old child, the son of a man she met while with IS, have been living in a Syrian refugee camp for nearly the entire life of the child, and it’s unclear what steps might come next to argue for their admittance into the United States, said Christina Jump, who represents the woman’s family.
China has reportedly set up brutal, eerie-looking “quarantine camps” as at least 20 million people are in restrictive lockdowns weeks ahead of the Winter Olympics.
Video posted to Twitter shows staff fully covered in white protective clothing standing near row upon row of small white cubicles lined up on the grounds of what appears to be a sports stadium.
Other footage claims to be from within one of the cell-like temporary buildings, with the occupant showing just a bare-framed bed and small, dirty-looking bathroom.

A young Kelowna family says it is being evicted from Ronald McDonald House (RMH) in Vancouver where their 4-year-old son is fighting leukemia because they don’t have COVID shots.
Charitable foundations with ties to Jewish federations and Jewish families feature prominently in a new report about the flow of tax-deductible donations to organizations that a leading Muslim civil rights lobby has identified as “anti-Muslim groups.”
Titled “Islamophobia in the Mainstream,” the report was published Tuesday by CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a civil rights group and political lobby that is harshly critical of Israel.
It follows a different report from 2019 that identified some 1,100 groups CAIR identified as funding anti-Muslim activity. In the new report, CAIR used publicly available IRS data to analyze the top 50 charitable foundations in the 2019 report.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says provinces are “right” to consider ways to encourage and incentivize COVID-19 vaccination.
His comments come just one day after Quebec Premier Francois Legault announced plans to impose a tax on any unvaccinated Quebecers who don’t have a valid medical exemption.
“Different jurisdictions are making different decisions about how to encourage people to get vaccinated, and as a federal government, we will be continuing to be there to support them in those decisions and to make sure that everyone gets vaccinated,” Trudeau said.
Incest, blasphemy, and sodomy were decriminalized in 1791 as French revolutionary forces sought to remove Christian-inspired morality entrenched by the monarchy.
Wendy Sherman, one of the world’s most powerful diplomats, is known as the Silver Fox because of her snowy white mane and her canny deal-making style. On Wednesday, she is helping to lead the US-Russia talks in Europe.
Ms Sherman – the US Deputy Secretary of State, one of the department’s top positions – has been meeting Russian officials this week to discuss Ukraine. The stakes are high.
President Vladimir Putin has deployed around 100,000 Russian troops close to the border with Ukraine, prompting fears of an incursion and warnings from the West.
US officials are hoping to defuse the tense situation through negotiations with the Russians – and Ms Sherman is in her element.
If I were Ukraine I’d get a headstart on designing the new national letterhead etc.
No one is going to war over this “quarrel in a far away country, between people of whom we know nothing”
Fauci was the darling of the media in the early days of the pandemic. Yet, as time passed, the truth about his past caught up with him. Moreover, his present didn’t do him any favors either. His habitual contradictions on COVID-19 precautions were never helpful. He was also quick to criticize certain people but not others for failing to follow safety recommendations.
Waterboard him – we need the complete truth to punish those responsible for 5.3 million deaths. After that, do with him what you will. This began as a plot to prevent Trump from being reelected, then they shifted to controlling people and increasing government power worldwide.
More than 7,000 people registered for their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday, amid threats by Quebec officials to tax the unvaccinated.
“Our highest in several days,” tweeted Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé, noting that 5,000 appointments were also made on Monday. “This is encouraging.”
Dubé notes the appointments were made across all the age groups, and 107,000 doses of vaccine were administered Tuesday alone.
The Trudeau government’s stubborn insistence that all cross-border truckers entering Canada show proof of double vaccination starting this coming Saturday sums up officialdom’s continuing fight against the pandemic to a tee.
A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that the sex abuse lawsuit against Prince Andrew brought by a longtime Jeffrey Epstein accuser could move forward.
In a Wednesday morning opinion, Judge Lewis Kaplan denied the royal’s motion to dismiss Virginia Giuffre’s suit against him.
Andrew’s attorneys had argued in their motion to dismiss the suit that Giuffre was barred from suing him because of a 2009 settlement agreement that she inked with Epstein to dismiss a Florida suit she brought against the pedophile.
Ont. reports 46 net new virus-related deaths; 505 patients with COVID-19 now in ICU
Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott says about 54 per cent of people hospitalized with COVID-19 were admitted due to the virus while 46 per cent were admitted for other reasons. For those in the ICU, 83 per cent per cent were admitted due to COVID-19 and 17 per cent were admitted for other reasons and are now testing positive, she added.
Another 9,783 new cases were logged today but due to testing restrictions, that number is likely a significant undercount of the true number of new infections in Ontario.
Here is the Pfizer CEO clip saying his company’s two dose covid vaccine provides “limited, if any” protection against omicron. @twitter needs to explain what the copyright claim is here. Seems to clearly be fair use & it’s obviously very newsworthy: pic.twitter.com/LrbgkPO6PH

Possible legal consequences begin for Sunwing passengers after feds spot 12 alleged infractions
Health Canada has started the process for possible legal consequences for some of the passengers on the infamous Sunwing flight to Cancun on Dec. 30.
However, the alleged infractions the agency is looking at are not related to the partying on the plane, according to Quebec prosecutors.
“These files do not cover the events that occurred during the flight, the images of which made the headlines,” said Audrey Roy-Cloutier, a spokesperson for the Quebec Crown prosecutors’ office.
Scientists believed Covid leaked from Wuhan lab – but feared debate could hurt ‘international harmony’
Leading British and US scientists thought it was likely that Covid accidentally leaked from a laboratory but were concerned that further debate would harm science in China, emails show.
An email from Sir Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, on February 2 2020 said that “a likely explanation” was that Covid had rapidly evolved from a Sars-like virus inside human tissue in a low-security lab.
The email, to Dr Anthony Fauci and Dr Francis Collins of the US National Institutes of Health, went on to say that such evolution may have “accidentally created a virus primed for rapid transmission between humans”.
But a leading scientist told Sir Jeremy that “further debate would do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular”. Dr Collins, the former director of the US National Institutes of Health, warned it could damage “international harmony”.
Gee Wiz! I’m old enough to remember when this was a conspiracy theory. Just like the CIA buying off journalists. “International Harmony” should be read as “Free Money from the ChiComs & Faucis etc”
