Every time China has insulted or degraded Canada on the world stage

Over the last few years, the Chinese Communist regime has grown increasingly hostile towards the West.

With regard to Canada, the Chinese government has proven itself to be belligerent and uncooperative. The refusal by Chinese authorities to grant access to the trials of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor to consular officials is the most recent instance of Chinese diplomatic hostility.

Even prior to the arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou in 2019, Chinese state-media and officials were lashing out at Canada.

The following is a list of every single time that Chinese officials and state-media have insulted or downright degraded Canada on the international stage.

Ontario reports 2,336 new Covid Cases … and science says you’re already dead men walking so start acting it, have some AstraZeneca!

Ontario reported 2,336 additional cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday along with 14 more deaths, as hospitalizations climbed to their highest point in nearly two months.

There were almost 1,100 people in hospital on Monday night due to coronavirus infection, the highest count since Feb. 4.

New data shows COVID-19 pandemic now ‘completely out of control’ in Ontario, key scientific adviser says

A new briefing note from a panel of science experts advising the Ontario government on COVID-19 shows a province at a tipping point.

Variants that are more deadly are circulating widely, new daily infections have reached the same number at the height of the second wave, and the number of people hospitalized is now more than 20 per cent higher than at the start of the last province-wide lockdown, states an analysis from Ontario’s COVID-19 science advisory table published on Monday night.

“Right now in Ontario, the pandemic is completely out of control,” Dr. Peter Juni, the table’s scientific director and a professor of medicine and epidemiology with the University of Toronto, said in an interview prior to the briefing note’s publication.

Don Martin: After that devastating auditor general’s report, why does Tam still have a job?

OTTAWA — The unwritten conclusion of that scathing auditor general’s report into how the Public Health Agency botched early pandemic detection is obvious: Replace Dr. Theresa Tam.

That might sound harsh for the high-profile face who has been calmly cajoling Canadians to stay home, wash their hands and, after her change of mind last April, wear a face mask in public.

But there’s no sugar-coating blame for the abysmally slow early detection and erroneous risk assessment of COVID-19 in Canada, as extensively documented in a report last week by the auditor general.

She may as well be working for China for all the “good” she’s done.

‘Tinderbox’: Riot redux feared as Antifa looms over trial in George Floyd death

‘Tinderbox’: Riot redux feared as Antifa looms over trial in George Floyd death

Anyone who thought that Antifa would exit stage left after President Donald Trump was defeated can think again.

The black-clad anti-fascist agitators have hardly missed a beat since President Biden was elected, continuing to smash windows, chuck projectiles and set fires in Portland, Oregon, while raising law-enforcement fears of a riot redux pegged to the Derek Chauvin trial in Minneapolis.

“The Antifa protests last year were not anti-Trump protests, they were anti-government protests,” said Betsy Brantner Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association. “What they want is to destroy and dismantle the government, and they’ve been pretty successful in Portland. I think they’d like to see that success across the nation.”

They’re going to riot win or lose.

Fauci Doubted The Swift Development Of A Vaccine. Now He’s Trying To Take Credit For It

“When I saw what happened in New York City, almost overrunning of our health care system, it was like, ‘Oh my goodness,’” the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told CNN. “And that’s when it became very clear that the decision we made on January the 10th to go all out and develop a vaccine may have been the best decision that I’ve ever made with regard to an intervention as director of the institute.”
