Ontario reports 16,713 new Covid cases  … they guess

They’re doing away with case counts and much more. We’re all cured up now.

Update – Ontario reports more than 16,000 new cases of COVID-19 as hospitalizations continue to rise

…. Going forward the Ford government has indicated that it will only provide publicly-funded PCR testing to certain high-risk individuals in a bid to ensure that those who need a test the most can get timely access to one.

That, however, will mean that the daily case counts will no longer be a reflection of community spread in the weeks to come.

“I don’t think we’ll have any real idea of the true community burden,” infectious disease specialist Dr. Isaac Bogoch conceded during an interview with CP24 on Friday. “We will be in the dark in terms of knowing what the true burden of infection is in the community.”


FUREY: Ontario’s COVID response evolving big time — here’s what you need to know

“We have to pivot.”

Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario’s chief medical officer, said that line more than once during his Thursday press conference.

And what a pivot it turned out to be. The province has made radical changes to some of the ways COVID-19 is being managed.

Well this may be last regularly scheduled morning report on what’s going on in the world of Covid in Ontario, but we’ll see.

May God have mercy on us all.

Did China Steal Its Way to Military Might?

As the People’s Republic of China (PRC) emerged from war and revolution in 1949, it became apparent that the Chinese economy lacked the capacity to compete with the U.S. or the U.S.S.R. in the production of advanced military technology. Transfers from the Soviet Union helped remedy the gap in the 1950s, as did transfers from the United States and Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. Still, the Cultural Revolution stifled technology and scientific research, leaving the Chinese even farther behind.

Thus, China has long supplemented legitimate transfers and domestic innovation with industrial espionage. In short, the PRC has a well-established habit of pilfering weapons technology from Russia and the United States. As the years have gone by, Beijing’s spies have become ever more skillful and flexible in their approach.

Canada’s veterinarian shortage is shaping up to be a full-on crisis

From the perspective of animal lovers, Canada’s vet shortfall is shaping up to be a full-on crisis in the coming year—from coast to coast. Mississauga’s Clarkson Village Animal Hospital was a 24-hour clinic. Recently, short of staff, it cut its hours to 8 a.m.-8 p.m. In Penticton, B.C., a pet advocate addressed city council to plead for vet care. In Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, west of Quebec City, the delay to see a vet for deworming medication has grown so long that breeder Marie Côté says her border collie puppies are thinner and growing more slowly. Her vet ignored her calls for weeks. Only after she went on TV to complain, she says, did she get results: “I got my medication the next day.”

The Ungracious – and Their Demonization of the Past

The last two years have seen an unprecedented escalation in a decades-long war on the American past. But there are lots of logical flaws in attacking prior generations in U.S. history.

Critics assume their own judgmental generation is morally superior to those of the past. So, they use their own standards to condemn the mute dead who supposedly do not measure up to them.

Yet 21st-century critics rarely acknowledge their own present affluence and leisure owe much to history’s prior generations whose toil helped create their current comfort.

Pellerin: Doug Ford’s absence on school re-opening is an abdication of leadership

After being AWOL since before the holiday break, Ontario Premier Doug Ford emerged on Dec. 28 to let everyone know a decision might be made soonish. That is nowhere near good enough. The return to school, at least in the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, is Jan. 3. People needed time to get organized, and prepare mentally for whatever would be coming, even if we didn’t know all the details of what that was. We have enough stress dealing with the stuff we know about, there is no excuse to add to the anxiety by leaving millions of us, including the kids, to spin our wheels.

Nurse whistleblower says more kids dead of the vax than COVID-19, many more also speaking out

“As of now, we have more children that died from the COVID vaccine than COVID itself. And then for the Health Department to come out and say the new variant has all the side effects of the vaccine reactions we’re currently seeing now. It’s maddening, and I don’t understand why more people don’t see it,” Collette Martin, a practicing nurse, told a Louisiana Health and Welfare hearing this month.

Why Vaccine Trials Weren’t Responsible ‘Science’ – Not Even Close

Science has undergone a radical metamorphosis. People with M.D. or Ph.D. degrees, who have published hundreds of papers in the scientific literature, have suddenly become “anti-science” – as judged by media personalities, politicians, bureaucrats and fact-checkers. What does this mean? One clue: chief White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci, M.D, said that anyone who attacked him was attacking “science.”

The real efficacy rates of the COVID vaccines

The Biden administration and the mainstream media have been pushing a mandate of the experimental COVID vaccines for the American people. Their talking point is that “COVID vaccines are effective and work against the pandemic.” That’s not true.

I have been following the “U.K. vaccine surveillance report” since last September and have seen enough evidence about the real efficacy of the COVID vaccines to show that they’re not as good as advertised.

No Wonder Why People and Businesses Are Dumping California

A recent study by the Cato Institute, the libertarian think tank, ranked California 48th out of the 50 states in personal and economic freedom. The study also examines fiscal policy and regulatory policy. For the first time, California’s population decreased last year, resulting in the loss of a congressional seat. In the third quarter of this year, 150,000 more people on average left the state versus 60,000 net departures in the first quarter of last year. Between March 2020 and September 2021, there has been a 38% decrease in new arrivals. California has 58 counties, and new arrivals fell in every single one.

What Does President Biden Know, and When Does He Know It?

The media need to pierce what the White House calls ‘the wall’ protecting him.

The mainstream media erupted in outrage last week after an Oregon parent used a Christmas Eve Santa-tracking call to troll President Biden with the rude and disrespectful “Let’s Go Brandon” phrase.

Ron Brownstein, a senior editor of The Atlantic, warned about the incident on CNN, saying, “I don’t think it’s fundamentally about incivility. It’s about insurrection.”
