How much — exactly — has the pandemic cost Canada? Star analysis finds toll is more than $1.5 billion a day
The pandemic’s impact on the economy has been staggering — and complicated.
Some of the typical measurements are in conflict: the stock market is soaring while 1.5 million Canadians are out of work. Many of the largest companies recorded historic profits while one quarter of small businesses reported revenue drops of 30 per cent or more.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted in the past year, though the Bank of Canada projects a promising return to pre-pandemic growth. The federal government poured huge sums of money into stimulus measures, but Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says an economic rebound will help cover the debt.
A Catholic priest in Ontario is warning parents that Catholic school boards that voted to fly the pro-homosexual “Pride” flag at schools next month have become a danger to their children, and that they should consider alternative methods of education, such as private Catholic schools and homeschooling.
The CRTC yesterday released its wholesale Internet rates decision, shocking the industry and consumer groups by reversing its 2019 ruling and virtually guaranteeing increased costs for consumers and less competition for Internet services. Indeed, within hours, TekSavvy, one of the largest independent providers, announced that it was withdrawing from the forthcoming spectrum auction and would no longer offer mobile services. In other words, the competitive and consumer cost reverberations from the decision will impact both broadband and wireless services. When the increased costs coming from Bill C-10 for Internet services are added to the equation, the Internet could get a lot more expensive in Canada.

In 1958 Communists Had 45 Goals to Take Over the U.S. Without Firing a Shot. Here Are the Ones They’ve Already Achieved
The 1958 book by Cleon Skousen, The Naked Communist, set forth 45 goals communists need to achieve to take over the United States without firing a shot. Some of them are outdated and immaterial. Some are debatable. Let’s see how many commie goals have been achieved.
Black Popeyes Manager BANS ALL WHITE CUSTOMERS in Honor of George Floyd, Police Say It’s Just a Prank
Two days ago, a black-owned Popeyes restaurant in Lake St. Louis, MO, announced it would no longer serve white customers. The virulently anti-white illegal act occurred on the one-year anniversary of the violent drug-addicted criminal George Floyd‘s death. Upon a sudden change in management, the new store general manager “Mason” posted a sign in the drive-thru reading: “This restaurant is under new management and will reserve the right to refuse service to white people. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

Brearley is one of the most prestigious private schools in America. Based in the Upper East side of Manhattan, where the children of plutocrats and power brokers attend, the $54,000 a year all-girls school ranks among the likes of Spence, Chapin and Groton.
It is also one of the most difficult schools to get into, but one parent made headlines by taking his daughter out.
That is how the media approached Covid. Be afraid of everything, from ice cream to semen. Be afraid of being tall. Be afraid of being bald. Be afraid of going to the shops and accepting home deliveries. And if you’re a man, it’s not just semen you should worry about, but also your testicles, your erectile function and your fertility. Even your toes are in danger.
Today’s biggest debates are about justice. Terms like “social justice”, “economic justice” and “racial justice” permeate discussions on what needs to change in the world. Young people, usually the hungriest for justice, arguably have more of a voice than ever in history, thanks to social media. While it is welcome news that justice dominates debate, the narrative contains an underlying contradiction which no one is prepared to address: that we always seem to end up holding the West to higher standards of justice than others without ever quite explaining why this ought to be the case.
