Primary school apologises for mistakenly showing picture of Prophet Muhammad in assembly ‘and wishing him happy birthday’ as angry father calls for Muslim parents to pull their children out of lessons
Ontario probably won’t be ready to leave stay-at-home order on May 20, experts say
Ontario is scheduled to break out of its stay-at-home order on May 20, but health experts say we’re likely not going to be ready, especially if we don’t want to end up back in another pandemic wave.
The Ontario government strengthened rules three times in April, all as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations surged.
Those sweeping changes started less than two months after eastern Ontario came out of the winter shutdown.
8 Righteous Reasons Why Derek Chauvin Deserves a New Trial –– and That Juror’s Shirt Is Only One of Them
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has moved for a new trial in the killing of George Floyd after yet another juror admitted bias in the case. But that’s only part of the reason why the former cop may get a new trial.
Nolte: NJ Police Officers Fired and Suspended for Calling BLM ‘Terrorists’
“They are terrorists. They hate me. They hate my uniform. They don’t care if I die,” wrote now-fired police officer Sara Erwin on Facebook.
For replying to the post, a second Hopewell Township, NJ, police officer, Sgt. Mandy Grey, was suspended for six months and will be demoted.
Microwaving the White House: Enemies Are Now Sonic Attacking Americans from American Soil
Unidentified parties have in recent years been directing sonic attacks on U.S. officials on American soil. One such attack even occurred on the grounds of the White House.
We should not be surprised. Failure to impose costs on known sonic attackers — the Cuban and Chinese regimes — almost certainly emboldened the perpetrators to think they could harm Americans in America.
China emitted more greenhouse gasses than US, developed world combined in 2019: analysis
China’s 2019 greenhouse gas emissions exceeded those of the U.S. and other major developed nations combined, according to a report by research firm The Rhodium Group released Thursday.
The report put China’s proportion of worldwide emissions at 27 percent in 2019, followed by the U.S. with 11 percent, India with 6.6 percent and the European Union with 6.4 percent.
Twitter suspends Trump ‘From the Desk’ account, despite no link to Team Trump
An account pulled from Twitter for appearing to belong to former President Donald Trump’s newly launched communications platform was not created by the ex-commander-in-chief’s team, The Post has learned.
The 45th president on Tuesday revealed his new website, “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” which allows him to provide his thoughts in Twitter-style posts that can then be shared on social media sites from which he has been banned.
Bill C-10 opens the door for regulating government accountability
Canadians can choose to watch virtually anything from anywhere in the world online. And they can share virtually any opinion globally through their cellphone. It’s astonishing freedom.
But the federal government sees a problem. Canadians aren’t watching enough of the right stuff and sometimes they say the wrong things. So, the Liberal government introduced Bill C-10 to give the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission more power to oversee what we’re watching and sharing to make sure it conforms to government-approved standards.
Rex Murphy: How’s Trudeau going to get out of this Line 5 pickle and keep oil flowing?
He must, with the same vigour he applies to stopping oil from getting out of Alberta, now man all stations to make sure oil keeps going into Ontario.
‘Craven virtue signaling’: Uproar as 43yo weightlifter Laurel Hubbard is set to become the first transgender athlete at Olympics
Fans have reacted with fury after Laurel Hubbard, a weightlifter who competed in men’s competitions before transitioning in 2013, was announced as being in line to take on women at the Tokyo Olympic Games later this year.
The New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) confirmed that Hubbard, who was the subject of a failed Australian weightlifting federation bid to ban her from participating in the 2018 Commonwealth Games, is “very likely” to be allocated a quota spot for the showpiece this summer.
I’m OK with this so long as not another cent of tax payer money funds athletes and that it be made law that Canada will never bid to be a host of or participate in future Olympic games.
Canadians made desperate by #Trudeauvaccinefailure fly south to get COVID vaccine shots … and … Study says single Pfizer shot offers only 30% protection against UK Variant dominant in Ontario
Desperate Canadians fly south to get COVID vaccine shots as U.S. demand falls
OTTAWA — With COVID-19 vaccine demand declining in the United States, some Canadians facing third-wave lockdowns are flying south to get inoculated, perhaps months earlier than they would be able to at home.
Jimmy Simmons, 37, saw friends in their 40s struggling to get a shot in Ontario. The Toronto businessman decided to spend a few weeks in New York City to meet clients and get vaccinated. He got his first of two shots on Tuesday.
Study suggests COVID-19 vaccine dose spacing strategy considerably less effective against variant strains
A new study involving tens of thousands of participants in Qatar found a single dose of the Pfizer-BioNech coronavirus vaccine was only 30 per cent effective at preventing infection by the B.1.1.7 variant now pervasive in Ontario, and only 55 per cent effective at preventing hospitalization or death.
Ontario reports 3,424 new Covid Cases … and… No herd immunity for Canada?
Number of new COVID-19 cases in Ontario jumps above 3,400 today
The number of new COVID-19 infections reported in Ontario jumped above 3,400 today after falling below 3,000 for the past two days but virus-related hospitalizations still appear to be on the decline.
Ontario is reporting 3,424 new cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus today, up from 2,941 on Wednesday and 2,791 on Tuesday.
Canada may struggle to reach herd immunity, experts say
Herd immunity may not be reached in Canada but a return to life similar to that before COVID-19 is possible through immunization, experts say.
Such immunity is achieved when enough people are immune to a virus, either through vaccinations or natural infections or a combination of both.
Prof. Paul Tupper of Simon Fraser University’s mathematics department said herd immunity is unlikely to happen with COVID-19 for a few reasons.
White House: Joe Biden Believes Social Media Platforms Should Block More ‘Untrustworthy Content’
The White House said Wednesday President Joe Biden supported social media companies banning more content considered “untrustworthy” on their platforms.
Trudeau Green-Scam May Force Auto Dealers To Sell Electric Vehicles
Should Canada mandate sales targets for electric vehicles? Report says ‘yes’
OTTAWA — Whether Canada should introduce a national mandate requiring the auto industry to make or sell more zero-emission vehicles is a question facing the Liberal government as it’s not on the road to meet its own targets.
The vehicles, known as ZEVs, are seen by Ottawa as a way to help cut the country’s greenhouse gas emissions to get to net-zero by 2050 and slash them by up to 45 per cent below 2005 levels within the decade.
Together, light-duty passenger trucks and cars typically make up the biggest polluting culprits within Canada’s transportation sector.
Of course Erin O’Tooliban’s Con Party thinks it’s a swell idea too.
Joe Biden Struggles to Read Teleprompter During Covid Speech, Then Says, “I’m Asking People to Continue to Follow the “CCD” Guidelines
Joe Biden could barely complete a sentence on Tuesday during his presser from the White House.
Biden struggled to read the teleprompter and couldn’t even properly pronounce the name of the government’s vaccine website.
Easy mistake, he meant to say CCP.
