Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi says some recent rallies billed as opposing the wearing of masks during the pandemic are really just “thinly veiled white nationalist” and “anti-government” activities.
In an interview with The West Block guest host Abigail Bimman, Nenshi expressed his frustration with the fact that people refusing to wear masks and gathering in large crowds are endangering others.
Democrat cities have allowed hundreds of homeless encampments to pop up along the West Coast.
Homelessness isn’t new to places like San Francisco, L.A., Seattle, Sacramento, and so on. I was in Portland 12 years ago for a comedy gig. The park in front of the club looked like a scene from Michael Jackson’s Thriller video. Today it looks like the Walking Dead.
OTTAWA—Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan has gone from bad-ass to bad asset.
A former Vancouver police detective, Canadian army reservist and military liaison officer to the Afghan police, Sajjan was a star political recruit for the Liberals in 2014. A real warrior who’d done three tours in Afghanistan, he instantly upped the Liberal party’s defence credentials.
Sajjan cut a striking figure posing in combat gear, wraparound sunglasses and a desert-sand-coloured turban. After Justin Trudeau’s win in 2015, he was the “bad-ass” soldier, an instant internet meme, picked to lead the Canadian Forces whose job it is to serve Canadian interests at home and abroad.
Washington: American space agency NASA on Sunday slammed China for failing to meet “responsible standards” regarding its space debris, hours after remnants of the country’s largest and an out of control rocket disintegrated over the Indian Ocean near the Maldives.
The debris from China’s Long March 5B rocket re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere at 10.24 am Beijing time and fell into an open sea area at 72.47 degrees east longitude and 2.65 degrees north latitude, China’s Manned Space Engineering Office said.

A friend of mine got to the point he’d just had enough of Ontario. The other week he and his wife packed up the car and drove with the kids to the United States. They were able to get across because one of them is a dual national.
Now, mere days after moving into their new place, their kid is already in school and the family was joyously partying it up at an outdoor Cinco de Mayo celebration.
A pastor who became an internet sensation after chasing Canadian authorities out of his church has been detained for violating Covid-19 restrictions. Footage of the dramatic arrest was posted on his YouTube channel.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski, of Calgary, Alberta, made headlines last month after he berated police for trying to shut down an Easter service that violated limitations on public gatherings. In a viral video of the confrontation, Pawlowski is heard.
OTTAWA — While the government continues to insist that individuals’ online audio or video content won’t be subject to federal regulations under Bill C-10, the Canadian Radio-television and telecommunications Commission (CRTC) could impose regulations on accounts that have a large enough following or are making enough money off of it, according to Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault.
In an interview on CTV’s Question Period with Evan Solomon, the minister said that while the CRTC isn’t going to be regulating user-generated content, they may be able to have certain regulating powers related to discoverability of online content, if an account’s channel has “millions of viewers,” are “generating a lot of money on social media,” and are “acting like broadcasters.”
Ontario is reporting 3,216 cases of #COVID19 and over 38,500 tests completed. Locally, there are 903 new cases in Toronto, 752 in Peel, 335 in York Region, 187 in Durham and 150 in Ottawa.
As of 8:00 p.m. yesterday, 6,144,685 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered.

Grappling with how to press the virtual flesh, parties gear up for election showdown
The three main national parties are firing up their election engines, even as they insist they want to steer clear of a campaign.
Liberals, Conservatives and New Democrats are on the move in advance of a potential election this year, recruiting candidates, training volunteers and grappling with how to kiss babies and press the flesh in a virtual, pandemic-restricted world.
Newly revealed Disney’s training documents show the company asked their white staff to ‘decolonize their bookshelves,’ participate in reparations and complete a ‘privilege checklist’ as part of their anti-racism training.
The media conglomerate has been slammed as becoming the ‘Wokest Place on Earth’ after the training module showed them adopting ‘critical race theory’ as part of their employee training.
“Maxime Bernier and his rhetoric are not welcome here and the Sask Party should do the same thing and tell him he is not welcome here,” NDP justice critic Nicole Sarauer said following Friday’s Question Period. “This is the last thing we need in this province.”
Catholic League president Bill Donohue blasted Democrat Joe Biden after he failed to mention God in his National Day of Prayer address.
Tam also says young people, who often work in essential services and sit at the bottom of vaccination priority queues, now have the highest case rates and can transmit the virus despite showing no symptoms.
A document titled The Unnatural Origin of SARS and New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons, written by Chinese scientists and Chinese public health officials in 2015, discussed the weaponization of SARS coronaviruses. It postulates a World War III scenario fought with biological weapons.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is pledging a 20 per cent foreign home buyers’ tax and a $14-billion housing plan. The election campaign-style promise, which Singh says would foster 500,000 homes in four years, aims to drive down home and rental costs and create more supply amid a white-hot real estate market.
It’s a day ending with a y, so you can be sure that the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is enraged about something. This time it’s underwear, and it is demanding that Amazon drop its drawers. Or, as CAIR’s National Communications Director and spokesman, Ibrahim “Honest Ibe” Hooper, put it in his press release, “CAIR Calls on Amazon to Drop Seller’s Insulting Underwear Line Embossed with Islamic Testimony of Faith.”
