Nearly Half of U.S. Moviegoers Still Staying Away from Cinemas

Nearly half of all U.S. moviegoers are no longer going to cinemas in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, signaling a longer-than-expected road to recovery for the exhibition industry. A new study shows that many Americans are still too scared of the coronavirus to step foot in a movie theater, while other factors like pricing continue to keep people away.

The Streaming genie has been out of the bottle for awhile now and the pandemic just hastened the shift in viewing habits and the profusion of woke crap content won’t win anyone back anyhow.

Like Obama, Biden Silent on Iran Mullahs Killing Peaceful Protesters

The Biden administration appears to be repeating the Obama Administration policy of choosing to be silent in the face of the Iranian regime’s bloodshed, human rights violations, and crackdowns that kill and wound peaceful protesters.

Recently, huge numbers of people in the province of Isfahan rose up against the Islamic Republic. Tens of thousands of farmers and other demonstrators poured into the streets and criticized government officials over a severe water shortage. Many were heard chanting, “The people of Isfahan will rather die than give in to disgrace”; “Zayandeh Rud [river] is our undeniable right”; and “We will not go home until we get our water back.”

Twitter’s new censorship policy backfires

 

A new policy on personal information has apparently backfired, with the platform claiming it had resulted in a large number of “malicious” and “coordinated” reports against users, some of whom were suspended by “accident.”

Twitter spokesman Trenton Kennedy said a new rule barring “the misuse of media” such as photos and videos “to harass or intimidate private individuals” had led it to suspend accounts in error, the Washington Post reported on Friday night.

Abuse, intimidation, death threats: the vicious backlash facing former vegans

Going vegan has never been more popular – but some people who try it and then decide to reintroduce animal products face shocking treatment

In 2015, Freya Robinson decided to go vegan. For more than a year, the 28-year-old from East Sussex did not consume a single animal product. Then, in 2016, on a family holiday in Bulgaria, she passed a steak restaurant and something inside her switched. “I walked in and ordered the biggest steak I could have and completely inhaled it,” she says. After finishing it, she ordered another.

FUREY: Ontario hitting 1,000 cases just isn’t the big deal it used to be

The news on Friday that Ontario had once again crossed the threshold of reporting 1,000 new daily cases of COVID-19 was met with predictable cries from some corners that we are now presented with an urgent problem that compels us to “do something” — that “something” being the restricting, in some way or another, of our daily lives.

Canadian charity employee working from home sacked for refusing to take COVID shot

OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) – A 27-year-old employee of the Ottawa-based charity the Canadian Blood Services (CBS) was fired after refusing to take the abortion-tainted COVID jabs, despite the fact he worked from home.

Gabriel Wilson, who works in the CBS organ tissue and donation branch, was told on October 29 that his accommodation request for a religious exemption under the charity’s “COVID Vaccination Policy” was denied.

Canada won’t resolve electric vehicle dispute with U.S. by citing new NAFTA, former ambassador says

A former U.S. ambassador to Canada says Ottawa probably won’t be able to use the new North American trade agreement to resolve a simmering dispute between the two nations.

Canada has been pushing the Biden administration and U.S. lawmakers to abandon a proposed electric vehicle purchase incentive — potentially worth up to $12,500 per car — that would apply exclusively to vehicles made in the U.S.

The proposal is part of a nearly $2 trillion social security and climate bill working its way through the U.S. government now.

Zero manufacturing of any kind is a wet dream of the climate crazed Trudeau regime. I doubt they’ll put up much of a fight. They don’t want you driving anything.

Ontario reports 1053 new Covid cases … and WHO says no deaths reported from Omicron yet

Ontario reports 1053 new Covid cases … and WHO says no deaths reported from Omicron yet

Ontario reports more than 1,000 new COVID-19 cases for second straight day

For the second straight day the province of Ontario is reporting more than 1,000 new COVID-19 cases.

Health officials confirmed 1,053 new infections on Saturday – a slight increase from the 1,031 that was reported on Friday.

WHO says no deaths reported from Omicron yet as Covid variant spreads

The Omicron variant has been detected in at least 38 countries but no deaths have yet been reported, the World Health Organization has said, amid warnings that it could damage the global economic recovery.

The United States and Australia became the latest countries to confirm locally transmitted cases of the variant, as Omicron infections pushed South Africa’s total cases past 3 million.

And 3 doses was always the plan!

COVID-19 vaccines: Do we really need boosters?

Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious diseases faculty member at the University of Toronto, said “semantics matter,” adding that COVID-19 boosters should really just be referred to as a third dose.

Bogoch said many vaccines are administered in three doses, and pointed to the Hepatitis B vaccine as an example.

“So I think we should be thinking of this as a three-dose vaccine series,” he told CTVNews.ca in early November.

Omicron Triggers ‘Unprecedented’ COVID Surge Hitting Under Children Under Age 5 in South Africa

The “highly transmissible” Omicron variant of coronavirus ripping through South Africa is putting disproportionately large numbers of children under 5 years old in hospitals, a top South African government medical adviser said Friday.

The alarming development raises the prospect of a new global battle cycle against the virus, given that the new variant has already spread to dozens of countries. The South African scientists also said the new variant was spreading much quicker than any previous wave of the coronavirus.

How convenient! (Does anyone actually believe this article?)

Bette Midler: Donald Trump ‘Should Be Arrested for Attempted Murder’ of Joe Biden

Bette Midler is calling on authorities to arrest former President Donald Trump for attempted murder, claiming Trump deliberately tried to infect Joe Biden with the coronavirus during a televised debate last year.

In an impassioned tweet early Friday, Bette Midler claimed Trump knew “full well he was positive” with COVID-19 before the debate, but deliberately turned up too late to be tested. Trump then “screeched, sputtered, spit, and foamed at the mouth, hoping to infect Joe.”

NDP MPP introduces bill to recognize “systemic racism” in Ontario schools

Ontario New Democratic Party MPP Laura Mae Lindo proposed a bill on Thursday to embed “anti-racist strategies” in the province’s education system.

“Students, parents and education workers should never experience racism in Ontario’s public schools and post-secondary institutions,” said Lindo. “Yet every month we learn about new incidents of racism that leave students, families and their communities reeling.”
