More than 55 NY Democrats call on Andrew Cuomo to resign amid new groping scandal
More than 55 Democratic state legislators called Thursday for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign — and the Assembly speaker said he would hold a meeting later in the day “on potential paths forward.”
The statement from Cuomo’s fellow Democrats cited both the spiraling sexual harassment allegations against him and the cover-up of the total nursing home death toll and said that “he has lost the confidence of the public and the state legislature, rendering him ineffective in this time of most urgent need.”
Cuomo accuser says he ‘reached under her blouse & groped her’ in most damning sexual harassment claim yet

Denmark pauses use of AstraZeneca vaccine to investigate blood clot reports – Norway and Iceland follow with temporary suspension while Italy pauses use of one batch
Denmark, Norway and Iceland have said they are temporarily suspending inoculations with the AstraZeneca vaccine as a precautionary measure, after blood clots formed in several people who had received the jab.
Italy’s national medicines authority also said it was banning the use of one batch of the AstraZeneca shot after being notified of “some serious adverse effects”, but stressed the move was precautionary and no link had yet been established with the vaccine.
This is the same crap Ontario is rolling out via pharmacies. I qualify in the age group targeted but have a lot of doubt about the Astra Zeneca jab. Something does not seem right.
Significant number of Ontario PSWs refuse their COVID vaccine
It looks like Premier Doug Ford let the cat out of the bag when it comes to some health-care workers refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine offered to them.
Earlier this week, the Ontario Ministry of Health responded to a question from this newspaper by saying that they don’t track health-care workers who take, or don’t take, the COVID vaccine they are offered.
Turns out that’s not true and the government does have some detailed numbers.

CNN is wringing the last drops of panic from the coronavirus pandemic
The coronavirus pandemic was the best thing to happen to CNN since Donald Trump.
What drama! What fear! What potential for ratings! Rarely has the old journalism aphorism “if it bleeds, it leads” gotten such mileage.
When the virus first came to the United States, CNN was dismissive. There were bigger, sexier stories to worry about, including Trump’s impeachment trial.
Then, as COVID-19 infections and fatalities ticked up, CNN suddenly became interested in the viral outbreak, focusing its attention almost entirely on the Trump administration’s sluggish and unfocused response. CNN went all-in on hysteria, death counts, and social distance scolding. Now, CNN’s programming is dedicated largely to squeezing the last few drops of panic from the pandemic, its guests and hosts warning viewers repeatedly that, even with the creation and distribution of new vaccines, things are far from “normal” and that you should stay frightened.
It’s still dangerous out there! Tune in tonight to learn what you can do to protect yourself!
Liberals are Very Late Releasing 2021 Budget – Not a Good Sign for Fiscal Conservatives
Canadians can usually expect the federal government to present in February or early March each year, especially after a government has been in power since 2015, but the Liberals are taking their sweet time with the 2021 federal budget.
The next fiscal year starts on April 1 and MPs have been given no indication of what the budget is going to look like, outside of the fact that everyone at this point expects a Liberal government to run a massive deficit, and the longer the time it takes to present the budget the less fiscal restraint is to be expected.

British broadcast journalist Piers Morgan refused to cave to the mob attacking him for questioning and criticizing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah, saying, “Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on.”
“On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. If you did, OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on.

FUREY: StatsCan report looks at undetected cancers, other harms caused by restrictions
A new Statistics Canada report that highlights delayed cancer screenings, mental health woes and the damage caused to low-income Canadians is a damning indictment on the many voices who called for ever-tighter lockdowns without appropriate concern for the harms that they were inflicting on their fellow Canadians.
