LCBO says it’s run out of COVID-19 rapid test kits, the same day it started supplying them

The LCBO says it has already run out of COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits after select stores across Ontario began to give them out on a first-come, first-serve basis on Friday.

“Our supply of COVID-19 rapid test kits has run out. Thanks for your patience & understanding. We’ll post if we receive more,” the LCBO said in a tweet Friday evening.

The organization said Friday morning it didn’t know exact arrival times for specific stores, and expected “limited” supply to be scooped up fast.

What a dumb idea, how much you want to bet these kits start showing up for sale on E-Bay etc?

Ontario reports 3,301 new COVID-19 cases; highest 7-day rolling average in 7 months

Ontario is reporting more than 3,000 new COVID-19 cases for a second day in a row and four more virus-related deaths as the seven-day rolling average topped 2,000 on Saturday.

Provincial health officials logged 3,301 new coronavirus cases today, up from 3,124 infections yesterday and from 1,607 a week ago.

Among the latest cases, 2,338 of the individuals are fully vaccinated, 718 are unvaccinated, 104 have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine and 141 have an unknown vaccination status.

Yes, pandemic fatigue is an issue, experts say. Will Omicron make it worse?

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney recently said that, despite the rapid spread of the Omicron variant across the country, Canadians may be at their “outer limits” of what further public-health restrictions they’re willing to accept.

“Widespread non-compliance,” he told the National Post, was harming the credibility of public-health measures and that many Albertans “have just tuned us out.”

How much did we pay for these sub-standard vaccines? Civil disobedience is our future.

Trudeau tells heritage minister to burn more taxpayer money on failing CBC

In his mandate letter to newly-appointed Minister of Canadian Heritage Pablo Rodriguez, Trudeau tasked the cabinet member with providing “additional funding” to the public broadcaster which is already subsidized by Canadians to the tune of $1.2 billion.

Specifically, Trudeau directed Rodriguez to provide “additional funding to make (CBC) less reliant on private advertising, with a goal of eliminating advertising during news and other public affairs shows.”

Cops Held Two Innocent Boys at Gunpoint, Forced Them to Lie on the Ground, Handcuffed Them, and Searched Them. That’s Fine, the 8th Circuit Said.

On a rainy January evening in 2018, 14-year-old Weston Young and his 12-year-old brother, Haden, were walking home from their grandparents’ house in Springdale, Arkansas, after a family dinner. A police officer ordered them to stop, pointed a gun at them, forced them to lie on the ground, handcuffed them, and, together with a colleague, searched them. Their mother and stepfather tried to intervene, explaining who the boys were, where they had been, and where they were going. But the officer, Lamont Marzolf, rebuffed both of them, seemingly uninterested in information suggesting that he was treating two innocent boys like criminals.

‘Conflicted Congress’: Key findings from Insider’s five-month investigation into federal lawmakers’ personal finances

The nation is unabashedly polarized. Republicans and Democrats enjoy little goodwill and less commonality.

But in Washington, DC, a bipartisan phenomenon is thriving. Numerous members of Congress, both liberal and conservative, are united in their demonstrated indifference toward a law designed to quash corruption and curb conflicts-of-interest.

Peter Navarro is Anthony Fauci’s worst nightmare

Peter Navarro is uniquely qualified to provide an insider’s account of the 2020 events that circumscribe the COVID crisis. He was a senior adviser to President Trump during the campaign and through Trump’s term in office on economic matters as assistant to the president and the director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy. Dr. Navarro graduated from Tufts, then got an MBA in Public Administration and a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard.

Dr. Navarro has published more than a dozen books on economic and foreign policy. His China trilogy — The Coming China Wars (2006), Death by China (2011), and Crouching Tiger (2015) — established him as one of the leading scholars and experts on Communist China and its war of economic aggression against America. Trump engaged him as an expert on the China threat, so he was a close aid and adviser on matters of import.

“Trump Time” alludes to Trump’s energy and effort and intolerance of delays. Navarro gives plenty of examples of projects done in Trump Time in this book — projects that made a difference and were expedited.

‘Trying to tell us something’: Climatologist says 2021 a weather year like no other

When Dave Phillips, Environment Canada’s senior climatologist, began 26 years ago compiling his annual list of the country’s Top 10 weather events, he sometimes had to stretch a bit.

“One of the big stories was, ‘Hey, it was a good recreation season, skiers loved it,”‘ he recalls.

Searching for weather events was not a problem in 2021.

“This year was beyond belief. There’s no year in the 26 years that could compare to this year.”

CBC continues to lose ad revenues, surprising no one but CBC

The CBC remains increasingly unpopular despite claiming Canadians are watching more TV than ever before. In fact, the advertising revenues for the public broadcaster fell another ten percent last year, which they simply cannot explain.

Provinces sacked almost 10,000 health care workers over vaccine mandates

Among provinces and territories, the B.C. government forced the most frontline and long term care workers out of their jobs. The province reported in November that 3,325 personnel were put on unpaid leave after its COVID-19 vaccine mandate deadline expired.

Delicensing doctors for ‘harmful misinformation’

In addition to being subjected to various forms of censorship, for the first time in living memory American doctors are getting threat letters from licensure boards warning them against distributing “harmful misinformation.” Medical boards in 12 states have disciplined doctors because of this allegation. While it is claimed that there’s an epidemic of misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic, the warnings don’t spell out what that means.

Critics Slam ‘Anti-Islamophobia’ Bill

The anti-Islamophobia bill passed in the House Tuesday was introduced by a representative with a history of anti-Semitic comments and has the potential to chill free speech, critics told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“This legislation is a nightmare for Muslims and non-Muslims alike— for all Americans,” M. Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy told the DCNF. The bill, he argued in an article for the Center for Security Policy, creates a space in U.S. bureaucracy which exists exclusively to attack our allies with charges of anti-Muslim bigotry when they criticize Islamist regimes.

How Russia tries to censor Western social media

Google and Meta face the threat of multi-million-dollar fines for failing to delete content that the Russian government considers illegal – but a close look at court papers reveals these are often simply posts about protests in support of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

In the summer of 2018, a Russian poet writing under the pseudonym Siberian Viking posted a caricature on his Facebook account. It showed the double-headed eagle of the Russian coat of arms, with the bird’s heads replaced by faces of President Vladimir Putin and the then-prime minister, Dmitri Medvedev.

Alongside it was a short poem, alleging that the eagle was twice as greedy as others, lied twice as much and carried out surveillance with four eyes. It ended with an emotional cry: “When will Russians awaken to remove this contagion?”

Florida v. Critical Race Theory

Governor Ron DeSantis takes a stand against racialist ideologies in public institutions and businesses.

Yesterday, I accompanied Florida governor Ron DeSantis on an early-morning flight from Tallahassee to The Villages retirement community, where he was scheduled to deliver a policy address on critical race theory. During the flight, DeSantis reviewed talking points for his speech, edited communications materials, and, after the plane touched down, selected a red-and-blue sign that would hang on the podium: “STOP WOKE ACT.”
