We’ve always known the CBC is expensive – grossly expensive. It consumes, gulps, incinerates over $1.3 billion a year in tax money.
Oh, sure, $1.3 billion barely buys you a garden variety Liberal government scandal these days. But it’s still a solid chunk of change for hardworking Canadians, especially since most of them never watch or listen to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
President Joe Biden’s administration is taking action to stop the proliferation of so-called ghost guns and push states to adopt “red flag” legislation, the White House announced late Wednesday.
Biden is directing the Department of Justice to, within 30 days, issue a proposed rule aimed at curbing the spread of so-called ghost guns, or guns that are made from build-it-yourself kits.
Biden could turn 3M to 4M gun owners into felons
President Biden’s abrupt move to regulate one of America’s most popular firearms for plinkers and hunters could turn up to four million owners into felons overnight.
Among the six initiatives he is taking in executive actions, Biden is ordering the Justice Department to regulate AR-15-style pistols, the current rage with buyers.
While they can currently be purchased like longer rifle versions after an FBI background check, AR pistols could soon be subject to a $200 tax and require approval by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a process that already takes nearly a year.
The NBA is holding “ongoing business discussions” with China Central Television, the Chinese Communist Party’s chief propaganda network known for airing forced confessions of domestic dissidents.
The league told Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) in a March 30 letter that it is exploring a renewed partnership with the regime’s television organ. While the NBA has yet to finalize a deal for the 2021 season, deputy commissioner Mark Tatum wrote, the two sides are in “ongoing business discussions.” Tatum also revealed that NBA China CEO Michael Ma—whose father served as a top executive for CCTV Sports—is taking an “active role” in the negotiations.

Why Canada is losing the race between vaccines and variants as the 3rd wave worsens
Much of Canada is in the grips of a worsening third wave as COVID-19 vaccinations slowly ramp up, and experts say the spread of more contagious coronavirus variants is throwing gasoline on an already-raging fire.
“We have a lot of virus moving around the country and escalating very, very quickly,” said Jason Kindrachuk, an assistant professor of viral pathogenesis at the University of Manitoba and Canada Research Chair of emerging viruses.
“Vaccinations are certainly starting to pick up, but we’re nowhere near where we need to be to get this thing under control.”
I can’t help but wonder if this lockdown is going to accomplish anything at all.
Bush — best known for her role in the early 2000s teen drama “One Tree Hill” — posted on Instagram last week blasting a bill approved by the Arkansas Legislature that bars physicians from providing gender confirming hormone treatment, puberty blockers, or performing sex change operations on individuals younger than 18 years old.
“[Transgender kids] are under attack across the country,” Bush wrote in the caption to the Instagram post. “AR just banned them from accessing healthcare. This is tantamount to murder.”
As if the COVID-19 pandemic hadn’t produced enough ways to complicate life at the border between Canada and the United States, here comes another: whether or not to require proof of vaccination.
LILLEY: Feds’ anti-racism training deals with political agendas, nothing else
“Canada — a colonial settler society — is a concept based on many myths, including European discovery and harmonious multiculturalism,” the section reads in part.
While participants in this training, offered up by Global Affairs Canada, are told to question the very name of the country, they’re also informed not to question other points such as the claim that only white people can be racist.”
Now may be a good opportunity for the federal government to take legislative action in the form of a federal alcohol act to address heavy drinking. This is legislation which could enshrine a harm reduction approach to alcohol that addresses outstanding issues related to advertising and labelling, access to alcohol, the affordability of the product and more.
Plus, Sharia!
The Woke want you to believe White supremacists are everywhere and responsible for everything bad that happens in America. That’s factually incorrect because real White Supremacists are a minuscule number of people. The Left tries to change the meaning of the term to put all White people in that category. Inexplicable best-selling books on race tell us all they are inherently racist and can never do enough good to fix it.
The CDC rates COVID-19 travel advisories from Level 1 (low) to Level 4 (very high), and it has labeled Canada a Level 4 danger zone.
Russia is amassing unprecedented military might in the Arctic and testing its newest weapons in a region freshly ice-free due to the climate emergency, in a bid to secure its northern coast and open up a key shipping route from Asia to Europe.
The direction of events is moving closer and closer to authoritarianism, with freedom increasingly being abandoned.
“We are now learning that George Floyd, a career criminal and drug addict, died of an overdose by drugs supplied by his longtime dealer.
The same Democrat tyrants that gave him a state funeral and his family $27 million made your relatives die alone and destroyed your business.”
The study released by consultancy firm Edelman found that 49% of Canadians believe journalists are “purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations.”
Justin Trudeau staffer Matt Stickney cautioned against publicizing Canada’s acquisition of nasal swabs, because releasing the numbers would “signal we’re good” while the Liberals were still actively asking for international help with supplies.
What separates effective leaders from poor leaders is that poor leaders keep making the same mistakes, while effective leaders learn.
As the Biden administration works with private companies to develop a COVID-19 “vaccine passport,” one startup is taking a tongue-in-cheek approach to the potential requirement of proof of vaccine, and it is offering a patriotic faux “passport” for Americans who identify as vaccinated.
According to the Washington Post, the Biden White House has been coordinating efforts of government agencies and private companies to develop a vaccine passport system that is supposedly to assist in returning the country to “normalcy.”
The “unexpected discovery,” as the team put it, of the presence of dangerous human diseases in these agricultural research facilities, suggests that safety protocols may not be up to par — and, as the team argues, that viruses may have accidentally been released as a result.
With the administration using the term “care infrastructure,” it includes billions for the elderly and disabled, scientific research and development and expanding broadband internet access.
Biden hopes that Congress will also approve $174 billion in electric car subsidies in hopes to increase EV chargers nationwide and convert a percentage of public transportation to electric.
“They fail to make the connection between the offensive “benevolent slavery” argument of two centuries prior and the continuation of that same construct through the bigotry of low expectations that animates the welfare state and all left-wing racial policymaking.”
