…According to data from Toronto Public Health, a full 68 per cent of all workplace COVID-19 outbreaks so far have taken place in offices, warehouses, construction sites and food processing plants — many of which have continued to operate throughout the pandemic — leading many to question why Premier Doug Ford keeps opening and closing restaurants and salons while doing little to stop the rampant transmission happening at workplaces outside of the public eye.
Three-quarters of the Canadians employed in oil and gas could lose their jobs as the country pursues aggressive climate targets, according to a new report that warns governments must develop worker transition plans now to prevent disastrous consequences.
If they don’t, workers could face displacement similar to that of the U.S. and Canadian manufacturing sectors in the 1990s and early 2000s, when automation and technological changes led to a decline in manual jobs across the economy.
The report by TD Economics for release on Tuesday estimates that by 2050, up to 450,000 of Canada’s current 600,000 direct and indirect oil and gas jobs could become casualties of falling demand for fossil fuel as more countries and companies commit to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

P.1 variant is spreading in Canada. What do we know about it and vaccines?
The rapid spread of the P.1 variant in British Columbia has added new urgency to the race between variants and vaccines. In just a matter of days, cases have surged from double to triple digits.
The variant, which was first identified in Brazil, has the potential to lower the effectiveness of some vaccines approved for use in Canada.
WARMINGTON: A shutdown? Malls, parks, beaches packed
Ontario’s third pandemic shutdown includes packed malls, beaches, and parks.
As many as 246 Michigan residents considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 were later diagnosed with the virus, and three have died, state officials confirmed Monday.
The cases were reported between Jan. 1 and March 31, and the 246 had a positive test 14 or more days after the last dose in the vaccine series, said Lynn Sutfin, a spokeswoman for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, in an email.
And the Liberals can’t win a majority government without winning in rural Canada, say former rural Liberal MPs.
Dog whistle to begin setting up the steal.
“If George Floyd’s murderer is not sentenced, just know that all hell is gonna break loose”, were the words of model and Black Lives Matter activist Maya Echols. The activist warned that Minneapolis would suffer riots and vandalism if former officer Derek Chauvin isn’t convicted for the murder of George Floyd.
Ontario’s doctors are concerned that we are entering the worst phase of the pandemic since last spring and urge everyone – all levels of government and every Ontarian – to take the warning seriously and do what they can to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Given the sobering new statistics being released every day – each one representing a person, with worried family and friends – the Ontario Medical Association is calling for five urgent actions:
Scholars rightly take umbrage when pundits and activists exploit their work for political purposes. The latest example, at least in religious circles, is the way in which a new book, “Secular Surge: A New Fault Line in American Politics,” is being received by militant secularists.
It may seem counter-intuitive, but Canada’s Conservative Party is seeking short-term success in a way that ironically makes that success far more elusive.
The Border Patrol announced Monday that agents arrested two Yemeni men who were on the FBI’s terrorist watch list over the past two months, confirming Republican lawmakers’ reports that terrorism suspects were attempting to sneak into the country as part of the migrant surge.
Chris Hopps has an exemption from wearing masks. And that is a big problem when it comes to dropping off and picking up his sons at Glen Street Public School in Oshawa, Ont.
Indeed, Chris is now considered parent non grata by the elementary school’s principal, Michelle Carter.
During a CBS Sunday Morning interview, Hunter Biden said that he is fully cooperating with the investigation.
He said that he is “100% certain that at the end of the investigation, that I will be cleared of any wrongdoing.”
So the fix is in.
On an episode of The Ezra Levant Show from this week, Rebel videographer Mocha Bezirgan was back in the office following his most recent trip to Montrea, Quebec.
Yet again, Mocha and the rest of the Rebel team were given more tickets while covering protests against Quebec’s restrictive lockdown measures.
Mocha told Ezra how he doesn’t think these arrests and charges given to protesters and Rebel News by the Montreal police are some sort of accident or are simply about the mask bylaw.
Despite Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s pledge to hold a referendum on equalization, a number of Albertans say he is not taking a firm enough position on the issues that matter to alienated westerners. Wildrose Independence Party interim leader Paul Hinman says Albertans need a government who will stand up for them, not for Ottawa.
Political correctness and misguided ‘compassion’ has so thoroughly come to dominate all aspects of our society that those in power no longer admit the truth even when it’s staring every right in the face.
The evergreen tree was the frontrunner of a mascot survey submitted to students and staff in February, looking to change the school mascot at Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School located in Portland, Oregon.
The school has postponed changing its mascot to an evergreen tree after a committee member raised concerns about its possible implications of lynching.
Are you eager to let everyone know that you’ve been vaccinated for Covid-19?
Do you often think to yourself: oh man, I know for sure that I’ve been vaccinated, but what if my friends don’t, and they think I’m an anti-vaxxer?
Have you found yourself wondering if the people around you are up to modern woke standards and are vaccinated like you are?
The petition, which already garnered more than 2,000 signatures, claimed that the district has a “moral and ethical obligation to support parents, including their own employees” by offering childcare options for “children below the age of 5, with special needs or medical risks, or attending other school districts” beyond the programs already provided by LAUSD.
The lie that George Floyd was murdered by racist police officers in Minneapolis has made its way around the world several times over, leaving countless violent riots and more than $2 billion in property damages in its wake, but it seems that the truth is finally putting on its shoes.
In June of 2020, 60 percent of surveyed adults deemed George Floyd’s death to be murder at the hands of police officer Derek Chauvin. As of last month, a little more than a third of Americans believe that.
Picking fights with lawyers and Green Berets can be a bit risky, and that is doubly true when one of them has extensive experience with totalitarian tactics.
Gordana Schifanelli is a lawyer married to a former Army special forces officer, and what’s more, she grew up in a Communist household in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. All of which makes for a powerful opponent in what has shaped up as a battle on Maryland’s Eastern Shore between forces of wokeness in Queen Anne’s County Public Schools and some concerned parents.
