Suspect in Christmas parade crash was accused of running another person over earlier this month
MILWAUKEE — The suspect accused of killing five and injuring 48 while driving through a Waukesha, Wisconsin, Christmas parade Sunday has a long history with the criminal justice system, according to court records.
Darrell Brooks, 39, was even accused of running over the mother of his child with his car earlier this month. However, he bonded out of jail just over a week before the tragedy.
A new U.S. government plan that would offer tax credits for electric vehicles and batteries made by unionized labour in the United States puts Canada in a difficult position, according to both Canadian environmentalists and trade experts.
Part of the “Build Back Better” plan passed by Congress at the end of last week, it gets a thumbs up from many battling climate change on both sides of the border.
Offering an effective $12,500 US subsidy if American residents buy an electric vehicle rather than one with a traditional engine, the move is considered a positive step toward coaxing gas-powered vehicles — and their emissions — out of the market.
Trudeau does not want electric cars built in Canada any more than he wants pipelines. He’s determined to sacrifice your well being to support his eco-fantasy.

FUREY: Read what the kids’ vaccine approval actually says — it’s not a ringing endorsement
This week, the country is set to embark on the roll-out of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines for kids in the 5-11 age bracket. It’s looking like this may sadly be one of the more tense and divided parts of the pandemic response to date.
Anti-vaxxers in child immunization disputes with co-parents likely to lose in court: B.C. lawyer
VANCOUVER – With children as young as five now eligible for vaccination against COVID-19, there are likely heated disputes brewing between parents with differing views – and some may eventually end up in a courtroom.
But dragging a fight over childhood immunization before a judge is unlikely to end well for anti-vaccine parents, according to B.C. lawyer Martina Milau, who dealt with a number of similar vaccine battles prior to the pandemic.
In the movie Moneyball, Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane queries his team of scouts when discussing a prospective player, “If he’s a good hitter, why doesn’t he hit good?” The scouts all have solid explanations, at least in their minds, of why a prospect might be a good hitter, from the sound of the crack of the bat when they hit the ball to the player’s good looks.
These explain why the player should be a good hitter, but what if the numbers, from batting average to on-base percentage, tell a different story? The question Billy poses is obvious in its simplicity, good hitters should hit good. And if they don’t, then perhaps they are not really good hitters.
What if we ask the same question about COVID vaccines, rephrased as “If the vaccines work, why aren’t they working?”

Canadians and citizens across the globe must fight back against unlawful mandates, and the complicit legacy media.
Soon after Special Counsel John Durham indicted Igor Danchenko, the “Primary Sub-Source” of the Steele dossier, on five counts of lying to the FBI, the press paused to feign a moment of public introspection. The corrupt media’s attempt to frame their failings as mere confirmation bias, however, holds no truer than the Russia-collusion hoax they peddled for five years.
The Public Health Agency of Canada has stated that it is “probably going to be quite difficult” to convince Canadians to vaccine their young children.
The New York Times served up some COVID-19-related Thanksgiving advice that, if anyone follows it, could lead to the kids’ table emptying out fast after they gobble their food.
The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) has banned a plethora of European children’s literature and destroyed 5,000 books for being “offensive.”
As reported by the National Post, some 30 books were burned for “educational purposes” and then the ashes were used as fertilizer to plant a tree.
Black Lives Matter activist Vaun L. Mayes suggested that the Waukesha, Wisconsin incident, that killed five people Sunday evening, may have been a reaction to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict.
Mayes arrived at the scene early Monday giving his own account of what he witnessed on a Facebook livestream in the aftermath of the incident. In the video, Mayes said an anonymous source made claims that Brooks drove through the crowd as retribution for Rittenhouse’s acquittal.
For many Canadians, Christmas may be a challenging time as a result of ongoing supply chain issues and severe labour shortages.
According to a report by Express Employment Professionals, the combination of high demand, labour shortages and supply chain issues will lead to the “perfect storm” this Christmas season.
In its report, Express indicates that in addition to supply chain delays, the biggest issue for Canadians is a shortage of jobs in the supply chain network.
Pfizer and BioNTech announced Monday their jointly-developed coronavirus vaccine offered strong long-term protection against Covid-19 in teenagers aged 12 to 15, data the companies said will support planned submissions for full regulatory approval in the U.S. and around the world.
Breakfast Hand Pie #1: Sausage, Egg & Cheese
According to CBC News, the ban, which has been in place since March 2020, was lifted by the Liberals on Sunday after citing improved public health outcomes.
Vaccine Hunters Canada was launched by a group of volunteers back in March, when vaccines were scarce and available appointments or pop-up clinics were hard to come by. Canadians were able to get updates on social media on when a vaccine clinic near them was opening up or had space available.
It’s been five months since the House of Commons last sat, and MPs returning this week do so under the terms of a new COVID-19 vaccine mandate and amid what public health experts have described as “turbulence” from rising case counts.

“The thing that worries me most is the way in which misinformation and, frankly, disinformation has become so prominent in the face of a public health crisis,” Collins told NPR. “And it has been manipulated in some situations for political reasons in a fashion that is turning our culture wars into something really serious.”
Scientists have classified the new AY.4.2 strain of Covid-19, which is significantly less likely to display common symptoms such as coughing and a loss of smell and taste, a “variant under investigation”.
How will we know if we have it? Terrifying!
When Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison called last year for an investigation into the origins of COVID-19, China retaliated with tariffs. Domestically, a cohort of Beijing-friendly former ambassadors, foreign and defense ministers, and state premiers dutifully reminded the public that China’s status as Australia’s biggest trading partner makes antagonizing the regime a risky business.
