A quarter of Americans indicated that they either are not getting the vaccine for the Chinese coronavirus, or they are not sure, and a majority of those who remain unvaccinated say they will not get the shot, a Yahoo! News/YouGov survey released this week found.
Vancouver city council voted Thursday to back a push for “compassion clubs” to supply safer drugs to drug users in the city.
The motion, which passed with unanimous support, will see the city endorse an application by the Drug User Liberation Front and Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users for a federal exemption of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
The Department of Homeland Security is pulling the plug on contracts to erect a border wall in the embattled Rio Grande Valley — even as migrants from around the world continue to pour into the US from Mexico in unprecedented numbers.
The agency “intends to cancel the remaining border barrier contracts located within US Border Patrol’s (USBP) Laredo Sector and all border barrier contracts located in the Rio Grande Valley Sector,” it announced Friday.
If the recent election proved anything, it’s that Canadians’ self-image as being cosmopolitan is just that — a self-image unrooted in reality.
The Human Resource order comes down to you with ferocity: get the vaccine or lose your office access and eventually your job. You are stunned. You had heard that the Biden administration was favoring this but your company has only 150 employees and it lives entirely within the private sector. Surely this cannot be right. Surely there is a way to fight back. Maybe a lawsuit against the mandate is in order.
The HR department says it is only following federal guidelines. So you look for them. You look again and again. Somehow nothing turns up. You can find plenty of statements by Biden and administration spokespeople. You can find hundreds of news stories about the impending regulation. There is no shortage of blustering talk.
What you cannot find is an executive order from the Biden administration. You can find no directive at all. How can something be challenged that doesn’t actually seem to exist?
The new COVID-19 policy will take effect on Oct. 25, Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) announced on Thursday morning.
“Providing proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test is now standard practice to access many businesses, services, and venues,” said Penny McCune, chief operating officer for SGI’s Auto Fund. “This will improve safety for our customers and employees.”
The CDC has verified there is vaccinated asymptomatic transmission. Nothing make sense anymore.
In virtually every country that has closed nuclear plants, clean electricity has been replaced with dirty power.
Have you noticed how events in Canada have really moved in only one direction?

Federal workers will have to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or risk losing their jobs, thanks to a new edict from Justin Trudeau’s government, which is also requiring people to get vaccinated to board a plane or a train. These measures undeniably violate the right of individuals to make their own medical choices by threatening employment and mobility rights, so The Andrew Lawton Show assembled an expert panel to discuss this mandate, and some of the broader themes connected to vaccine passports and civil liberties.
Ontario’s top court has taken a tough line on the sentencing of Black offenders, saying they are not entitled to the unique considerations that apply in the cases of Indigenous offenders.
Canadian Ambassador David Sproule has been tasked to walk a slippery slope. Previously Canada’s Ambassador to Afghanistan, Sproule been selected to negotiate with the Taliban on behalf of national interests.
What are these interests? To give even more Canadian tax-payer dollars to the Middle Eastern nation. Taliban representative Suhail Shaheen is all ears.
Every measures imposed since ‘two weeks to flatten the curve’ was sold as a way to bring back normal life. Instead it has served to further erode our freedoms and entrench government tyranny.

Fully vaccinated people who get a COVID-19 “breakthrough” infection can spread the virus to others even if they are not symptomatic, Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky told CNN on Thursday.
The first glimpse of what the 1,000-bed quarantine facility at Wellcamp Airport outside Toowoomba will look like has been revealed.
The treatment reduced the risk of reaching mechanical ventilation by 44%. ICU admissions were lower by 43%, and an overall in-hospital mortality saw a 47% decrease.
Two weeks ago, Kamala Harris hired a “crisis communications expert,” to create a new image for her. She needed a “rebranding” it seems, to paper over her failures. Her stints as border surge czar and voting czar weren’t going over well with the public. Her staff flight and toxic work environment continued her downward trajectory. The taxpayers would pay, of course, for this bid to get her poll numbers up, but who was counting?
We didn’t need a new poll from The University of Virginia Center for Politics and Project Home Fire to tell us that many Democrats see fascists when they look at Republicans and many Republicans see Communists when they look at Democrats. Forty-one percent of Biden voters and 52 percent of Trump voters at least somewhat agree that the time has come to split the country into red and blue states. There is a widespread feeling on both sides that we are not friends but enemies. All this, we could have guessed.
There’s a sense of history coming full circle in the ISIS-K suicide bombing of a Shiite mosque in Afghanistan.
ISIS, the original one, started out as Al Qaeda in Iraq. But it broke from Osama bin Laden and the Al Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan\Pakistan by unrelentingly targeting Shiites in Iraq over and above even the United States.
A rebranded campaign for ‘equity’ is just as divisive
Does “critical race theory” (CRT) really exist? Not according to Ralph Northam, the Governor of Virginia. CRT, he recently told The New York Times, “is a dog whistle that the Republicans are using to frighten people. What I’m interested in is equity.”
But rather than convince anyone about the non-existence of CRT, his comments merely confirmed something else: namely, CRT’s remarkable ability to shape-shift into whatever form its advocates choose. For Northam, CRT might not exist — but that’s only because it has undergone a rebranding.
A month into my PhD at the University of Bristol, the students’ union voted for a blanket ban on ‘TERF’ speakers – that is, ‘trans-exclusionary radical feminists’ – on campus. The chilling effect of this was soon felt by myself and other feminists on campus. I never said I was a radical feminist, but that didn’t matter. What mattered to the wannabe despots at Bristol was that people like me were stepping out of line.
