Private security contractors report that a recent string of high-profile retail robberies and home burglaries in upscale Los Angeles neighborhoods has caused a dramatic uptick in requests for their services and prompted many of their wealthy clients to change their routines out of a mix of caution and fear.
Speaking to media outlets on Dec. 27, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian accused Trudeau of “misunderstanding” and “miscalculating” Canada’s approach to Beijing.
Former GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says “it’s too late to get through” to Joe Biden.
During an interview on Breitbart, host Alex Marlow asked Palin what advice, if any, would she give Biden today to help him.
“Back in the day, you debated Joe Biden, and you won. Do you ever think back on that day?” Marlow asked. “He’s president now, and I know that it’s probably a little bit fun to know that you were right on so many things. But I bet you would like to get through to him.”
Palin responded by saying, “I think it’s too late to get through to him.”
Team Rubicon has turned up to help out when floods hit Ottawa, Fredericton and Fort McMurray; when wildfires swept B.C.; and, even to provide support for pandemic operations like testing sites.
I have developed a lot more respect for Mr. Rogers than I had as a child.
There is growing concern about possible cognitive consequences of COVID-19, with reports of ‘Long COVID’ symptoms persisting into the chronic phase and case studies revealing neurological problems in severely affected patients. However, there is little information regarding the nature and broader prevalence of cognitive problems post-infection or across the full spread of disease severity.
With the rising costs of everyday items top-of-mind for many, among Canadians who say they took on more debt in 2021. A recent Maru financial priorities poll suggests 37 per cent of Canadians said it was because expenses exceeded their monthly income. In the face of these concerns, only a quarter of respondents (27 per cent) expect their financial situation will improve in 2022.
These 27% are undoubtedly government employees.
Another day, another whiny leftist assault on American institutions, this time using the United States Constitution as cover.
A professor of politics named John Kenneth White has penned an opinion piece for The Hill titled “The Constitution isn’t working.” It’s an odd article because White actually gets a couple of things right at the beginning but eventually veers off into a boilerplate regurgitation of the leftist fever-dream wish list: nuke the Electoral College, JANUARY 6, reform the filibuster…yeah he had a ghostwriter from the Democratic National Committee working with him on this.
It’s a phenomenon that doctors and officials have known about for months, but haven’t been all that forthcoming about.
It’s what’s known as incidental hospitalizations — people who are included in the Ontario government’s daily count of people in hospital with COVID-19, but who aren’t actually in hospital for the virus.
Instead, they’ve gone to hospital for something completely different and just happen to test positive for the virus upon arrival but aren’t at all suffering from it.
Maybe, just maybe – and hear me out here – firing a bunch of essential medical workers with decades of experience over a vaccine was a really stupid idea.
America is currently short approximately 80,000 truckers compared to pre-pandemic levels. If Biden’s Jan. 4 vaccine deadline is enforced, the industry will lose 37% of its truckers, or 2.5 million people, according to an ATA survey.
Canadian trucking industry groups are warning the Canadian government that supply chain challenges will get worse unless there are changes to upcoming COVID-19 vaccination mandates.
American truck drivers who transport goods into Canada are frustrated by looming vaccine requirements, and some remain concerned the mandates could hinder the supply chain crisis.
Starting Jan. 15, 2022, Canada will require all “essential service providers, including truck drivers,” to be fully vaccinated upon entry into the country. Similarly, all truck drivers will also be required to be fully vaccinated to enter the U.S. one week later on Jan. 22.
“I say no,” Biden said this week when asked about repealing the mandate and whether it would cause additional supply chain issues.
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration said Saturday that it would not issue citations tied to its coronavirus vaccination mandate before Jan. 10, so that companies have time to adjust to and implement the requirements.
The latest order comes after more than two dozen of the petitioners in the case — including the American Trucking Associations, Kentucky Trucking Association, Louisiana Motor Transport Association, Mississippi Trucking Association, Michigan Trucking Association, Ohio Trucking Association, Tennessee Trucking Association, and Texas Trucking Association — filed an appeal to SCOTUS last Friday, December 17, immediately following an opinion by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit reinstating OSHA’s ETS.
At the beginning of the pandemic, TNN reported the Waco, TX-based company, citing a sharp drop in revenue, enacted sweeping pay cuts for all C-suite executives, vice-presidents, directors, mid-level managers, and all other salaried office personnel, as well as truck drivers and dock workers.
Over the past year, the trucking industry has witnessed tremendous changes when it comes to the manner in which they operate and the kind of trucks that are making their way to the market spaces. In the United States alone, the industry has witnessed its ups and downs during the year, all of which have impacted the overall production and development within this space. There have been numerous things that have impacted the manner in which the industry has functioned, and there have been numerous elements that have changed the way work is received within this industry. With us being so close to 2022, it is time to take a look at some of the trends that are likely to surface in the coming year to see how they would truly impact the industry.
Hi everyone – There are so many things going on that are affecting the trucking industry in both the USA and Canada across the border and domestically. Each of these articles looks at a different aspect of our current situation and what’s likely to occur. I’ve left out the port supply crisis, since you already know about that, but you should add that to the equation.
Did you buy something today? A truck probably brought it there. What are you going to do when the supply of goods is reduced by 30% or more and the cost goes up again?
If these mandates stay in place, January and February of 2022 are going to be historic, and not in a good way. Prepare, friends.
Xi Jinping has been doing a great deal of saber rattling of late, threatening both Australia and Taiwan. China has also been building islands in the South China Sea, flying hypersonic weapons, stealing and illegally buying vast amounts of military technology, and overtly working to make its military more manly, even as the U.S. military deals with maternity flight suits and the needs of the so-called transgender troops. Nevertheless, when all is said and done, a military is only as good as the people doing the fighting, and there are indications that China has a problem in this area.
The pandemic made us an even lonelier nation.
There is both bad news and good news for Planned Parenthood these days. Even while abortion made a brief stop once again at the Supreme Court, its numbers are dropping.
A few years ago, abortion hit its lowest rate since it was legalized. The drop in abortion rates parallels the fall in birth rates. Both stem from a decline in pregnancies.
America isn’t becoming more moral, only more lonely.
Patrick Moore’s new book argues that these prophecies of doom come from the same old thing — human self-interest.
If there are intelligent young people in your family who parrot the received wisdom about climate change but whose minds are not yet set in progressive stone, Patrick Moore’s Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom is the book to give them. To be sure, there are a number of excellent books debunking the claims of an imminent climate Armageddon: to name just a few, Rupert Darwall’s The Age of Global Warming, Steve Goreham’s The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism, Marc Morano’s The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change, and S. Fred Singer’s Hot Talk, Cold Science.
Despite the wealth of resources, there are a number of reasons why Moore’s book is especially powerful and persuasive.
Fantasies of decline can make you powerless
Theories of decline are on the rise: we are inundated with stories about impending civil war and looming climate apocalypse; studies show that civilisation could collapse within a few decades; eccentric “cliometricians” warn of a miserable decade ahead.
Sounds like bad news, right? Perhaps.
In 2021, a string of horrific murders sparked a moral panic about men.
The feminism of fear was everywhere this year.
Just as women should have been making the most of post-lockdown freedoms, we were plunged into a panic over our safety. Politicians, campaigners and commentators ruthlessly stoked and exploited women’s concerns.
