Canada’s economic growth unexpectedly faltered at the end of the third quarter, casting doubts on the strength of the nation’s recovery.
LIGHTS OUT: Al Gore Says ‘Time to Say Goodbye to Coal, Oil, and Gas Worldwide’
Climate-change crusader and former Vice President Al Gore published a new video on social media this week as world leaders gather in Rome and Scotland; saying it’s “time to say goodbye to coal, oil, and gas.”
“We are right now at a political tipping,” he warns in the video. “The window for limiting the increased temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius is closing. But we have the solutions we need to solve this crisis.”
Unvaccinated will force shutdown of sports leagues in Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon by Monday
Hockey and other minor sports leagues as well as fitness and swimming classes that operate out of municipal facilities in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon will be put on hold because not enough coaches, instructors and players have been fully vaccinated.
Nation in ‘Energy Crisis,’ White House Adviser Says
“We see this as an energy crisis because this is not just natural gas prices that have been elevated, but crude oil is at very high levels at the moment … and gasoline prices in the United States today are at seven-year highs as natural gas peaks at the same time,” White House energy adviser Amos Hochstein remarked during a virtual event hosted by the International Energy Forum on Thursday. “So I think this is an energy crisis.”
Unvaccinated nurses open wellness centre in Kamloops, B.C.
Unvaccinated nurses all over the province are no longer permitted to work for British Columbia health authorities.
A group of Kamloops nurses who did not receive the COVID-19 vaccine is using their job loss as an opportunity to start up Ezra Wellness on Tranquille Road.
Inflation Just Soared to a Brand-New 30-Year High
Another measure of inflation has hit a 30-year high as some say White House policies continue to hurt the economy.
Opinion: Take aim at legal guns, too, in fight against violence
In a recent opinion piece in the Gazette , Concordia political science associate professor Noah Schwartz says calls for gun bans are among typical “knee-jerk” reactions to gun violence that “drain precious resources” that could be better invested in long-term solutions to crime and violence in Canada.
Schwartz seems to have accepted the argument — often presented by the gun lobby — that gun violence is mostly limited to criminal gangs “in specific neighbourhoods” and that “licensed, vetted” gun owners are already “heavily regulated” enough.
7 Insane Things I Just Learned About How U.S. Elections Are ‘Rigged’
The extent to which corporate media rigs elections for Democrats has been rigorously documented since at least Tim Groseclose’s 2012 book, “Left Turn.” In that book, the political scientist concluded through data-driven analysis that media bias on average shifts the electorate 20 points to the left on a 100-point political worldview scale. Without media bias, he argued, the average American state would be as Republican-leaning as Texas or Kentucky, and those two states would be even more conservative.

Ontario school board reviews every book in every library to cull those ‘harmful’ to students
The culling begins at the Waterloo Region District School Board, west of Toronto, as schools and libraries around North America debate reviews that often provoke a clash between notions of free speech and racial or social equity.
Anglophones Move To Minority Status In Toronto’s Largest School District
A recent Toronto Star article informs readers that of Canada’s 338 federal ridings, 41 now have populations in which visible minorities form the majority. Nearly all are found within the Greater Toronto Area(GTA).

‘End this pandemic once and for all’: Harry and Meghan write open letter demanding G20 leaders end Covid while accusing powerful nations of not sharing vaccines with low-income countries
The couple has penned an open letter, co-signed by WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, demanding leaders of the ‘wealthiest’ nations at the G20 summit end the Covid crisis by working to vaccinate the world’s population.
CDC Quietly Gives Go Ahead for Immunocompromised to Get 4th COVID Shot
Immunocompromised adults who received a third dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID vaccine will become eligible for a fourth booster shot six months after receiving their third dose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
‘Imminent threat to public safety’: LA County sheriff warns vaccine mandate is causing ‘mass exodus’ in his department
Democratic Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has long decried the L.A. County Board of Supervisors’ order requiring all county employees to be vaccinated — without exception. Earlier this month, Villanueva explained why he would not be enforcing the order among his own deputies: He can’t afford to lose any additional deputies.
Americans turn against Black Lives Matter A majority of adults now oppose the movement
For the first time since 2018, more Americans now oppose the Black Lives Matter movement than support it.
Researchers Civiqs have been tracking public opinion on the activist group every week since 2017, interviewing a total of 278,076 adults across the country. For most of that period BLM has enjoyed majority support. It reached peak popularity (53% support, 28% against) immediately after the killing of George Floyd in June 2020, but has been drifting downwards ever since. Crossover was reached this week, with 44% of the American public opposed to BLM, and 43% in favour.
The deadly word games that brought us ‘Gain of Function’
Washington, D.C. is the biggest home of lies and word games in the known cosmos.
In D.C., a seven-trillion-dollar punch in your wallet costs you absolutely nothing, according to the president of the United States himself.
In Washington, D.C. a fat, aging hippie man becomes the first “female” four-star admiral of the United States, and nobody is allowed to laugh.
Why the elites are so desperate to avoid discussing radical Islam.
David Amess and the terrorism amnesia industry
The killing of Sir David Amess is starting to slip from public consciousness. You can feel it. Just two weeks after the Conservative MP for Southend West was allegedly murdered in a suspected Islamist terror attack, it seems like this horror is fading from national memory. Yes, numerous tributes were paid. The media coverage was extensive. Parliament garlanded Amess with touching tributes. And, in his memory, Southend will be granted city status, something he campaigned for throughout his political career. So there has not been nothing. Of course not. And yet it seems undeniable now that this atrocity is not being accorded the political and historic moment it surely deserves.
The Party’s Over in San Francisco
Key prosecutors are leaving District Attorney Chesa Boudin’s office to join the recall effort.
How does one keep the party going when key guests gather their coats and leave? And what if they’re not leaving quietly? Such is the situation for San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin. Prosecutors who work in his office are defecting. In fact, since Boudin started his term in office, at least 51 of the department’s attorneys have either been fired or have left of their own accord. The most dramatic departures have been the recent resignations of two assistant district attorneys, Brooke Jenkins and Donald du Bain. Both consider themselves progressive and committed to “restorative justice,” yet they not only quit and took their scathing reviews of Boudin to the media; they’ve also joined the Safer Without Boudin recall campaign seeking to oust their former boss from office.
Hating Jews is Becoming a Leftist Purity Test
The Jewish groups that failed to fight campus anti-Semitism are about to live under it.
When Sunrise Movement DC issued its ultimatum that either the Jews had to be kicked out or it would boycott a D.C. statehood rally, it was a familiar purity test. And, like most purity tests, was about testing a willingness to hate people and endorse a new extremist position on demand.
Purity tests that have no constructive purpose except to undermine and oust a leadership that is insufficiently radical have become commonplace in the Reign of Terror era of American politics.
Progressives are a gift to Islamism Young Brits are being taught to hate their country
In the almost 30 years that I have lived in the West, discussion surrounding Islamism has been stymied by one thing: the naïve belief that it will magically disappear. After every Islamist attack, promises are made. Ambitious changes to anti-terror programmes are ordered. Politicians line up to announce that this is the last time.
And yet somehow — despite all the vigils, all the pledges, all the policy announcements — Islamism remains as potent as ever.
