NPR reports that the investigation into the origins of the pandemic is at an “impasse.” In fact, the investigation is dead in the water. The World Health Organization (WHO) isn’t saying what the next phase of its investigation will be. American and other researchers outside of China are stuck in place largely because new information that could shed light on the origins — either natural or manmade — is being blocked by the Chinese Communists.
The Indian consulate in Toronto is trying to stop GTA teachers from giving lessons about the ongoing protests by predominately Sikh farmers in India, claiming the material poses a security threat and could “poison” relations between India and Canada.
In a strongly worded letter dated March 11, the Consulate General of India, which represents the Indian government, claimed what elementary and high school students in Peel, Toronto and York region are learning about the protests could disrupt peaceful relations between Indian communities in Ontario.
… Brampton high school teacher Simmi Jaswal has been incorporating discussions about the farmer protests in her geography and social justice courses this school year.
Are they taught anything about Canada? Other than we’re racist of course.
The Vancouver School Board is cutting all sports programs and all sports competitions because, the school district says, “they do not comply with the equity and inclusion goal of ensuring that all students can participate in every aspect of the curriculum.”
Citing police records, an investigation by a New York NBC affiliate found that a large percentage of charges filed during a wave of demonstrations last summer – many involving looting, vandalism, and even rioting – had since been dropped.
Ebrahim Raisi, a hardline cleric close to the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is set to become Iran’s new president.
The 60-year-old presented himself as the best person to combat corruption and solve the economic problems Iran has experienced under the outgoing President Hassan Rouhani.
He is the country’s top judge, and has ultra-conservative political views. Many Iranians and human rights activists have pointed to his alleged role in the mass executions of political prisoners in the 1980s.
KINGSTON — Sir John A. Macdonald stood proudly in Canada’s original capital for 126 years.
The statue had been in City Park downtown since it was erected in 1895 to commemorate Canada’s first prime minister who served from 1867 until 1873 and again from 1878 until 1891.
The head of the Public Health Agency of Canada is showing no sign he’s willing to release unredacted documents about the firing of two scientists at the country’s highest security laboratory — despite the prospect of being publicly shamed in the House of Commons for his refusal to produce the information.
PHAC president Iain Stewart told the Commons health committee Friday that he is bound by law to protect national security and privacy rights.
And he said nothing in a House order demanding that he produce the documents relieves him of that obligation.
Protecting the privacy rights of suspected Communist Chinese spies? I suspect he’s protecting the misdeeds of our China class.
Imagine if it turns out Canada made a significant contribution to the development of the China plague.
Ontario is reporting 355 new COVID-19 cases and 13 more deaths on Saturday, with the province’s virus-related death toll surpassing 9,000.

Just three days ago, the Public Health Agency told The Canadian Press there were 1,187 confirmed cases.
The Biden administration is speeding up the placement of young illegal immigrants in cities around the nation with little or no notice to local officials, a “reckless” result of the president’s bid to erase the border legacy of former President Donald Trump, according to a leading GOP critic.
The Chinese spy who was reported earlier on Becker News to be in the hands of the Defense Intelligence Agency and kept hidden from the FBI is reportedly high-ranking Chinese counter-intelligence official Dong Jingwei.
So the head of Chinese counter intel efforts in America has defected to USA. He’s in the hands of DIA right now. His name is Dong Jingwei.
He’s provided DIA with the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
He has confirmed that a THIRD of all Chinese students in US are spies.

This Twitter thread has a lot of information.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed on Friday that the federal government is working with the provinces to develop a national vaccine passport for international travel that’s expected to be ready sometime this fall.
Trudeau said while that plan is being developed, his government is working on a system involving the ArriveCan app that will be ready in the “coming weeks.”
‘Enjoy burning it all down, you well-intentioned, blind people. I’m done.’ That’s what classical-music composer Daniel Elder posted on social media after an activist set the courthouse in Nashville, Tennessee ablaze. This was in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. Elder, though sympathetic to the aims of the Black Lives Matter movement, was distressed by the chaos erupting in his city. He took to Instagram to make his thoughts known before deleting his account.
His concern was totally understandable. Most people don’t like it when things get set on fire. But still, Elder was bombarded with abusive messages on his Facebook and YouTube accounts. One branded him a ‘white supremacist piece of garbage’.
Then, Elder’s music publisher, GIA Publications, demanded an apology. It provided him with a pre-prepared script. It had the ring of a forced confession at a Soviet showtrial.
Canada’s largest police forces conduct hundreds of no-knock raids every year, CBC investigation reveals.
“More broadly is that these are people who are reflexive defenders of the regime, the establishment, the people who already have power and don’t need defending,” Carlson said on the show. “And I just find that a grotesque orientation for journalists. I mean, the whole point, the reason we exist is to push back on behalf of people who have no power against people who do. Period.”
CBC says it will only commission new programs in which nearly a third of the key creative team is made up of members of under-represented communities.
