If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to call an election in the middle of a pandemic with an ongoing and acute vaccine shortage, he can do it today.

White House says ‘no’ to sharing vaccines with Canada and Mexico
WASHINGTON – The White House is making it abundantly clear it has no plans to share America’s COVID-19 vaccines with Canada or Mexico.
Press secretary Jen Psaki has been indicating for weeks that the Biden administration would not allow the export of doses manufactured in the U.S. any time soon.
Today, with Mexico planning to explicitly ask for help, Psaki ruled the possibility out entirely.
Sainted Irish Mother, infected by Covid in hospital, is not doing well today, it remains touch and go.
Women’s groups that backed sexual assault accusations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh have stayed silent as two former staffers to Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo accuse him of sexual harassment.
Peel Public Health has apologized after telling parents to keep their young children in separate rooms with no contact with the rest of the family during isolation.
It should be clear by now that the COVID relief package is little more than a gigantic giveaway to special interests that are loyal to the Democrats and bailouts for mismanaged blue states.
“This report proposes an increase to the composition of the committee by the addition of two members who can bring expertise in an anti-racist feminist perspective,” writes the Anti-Racism Action Committee report.
Williams reacted to Trump’s speech — during which the former president had taken aim at a number of Biden’s policy changes — on Fox News’ “The Five.”
Erin O’Toole is a good public speaker, and has relatively strong communication skills.
However, he is certainly not a charismatic and telegenic politician.
The tests are used on people quarantined or entering China, and the practice “has not been confirmed [to be effective] anywhere else in the world,” Kato said, according to ABC. He said that it was not known how many Japanese citizens recieved the anal swab test, according to the BBC.
In this clip from a recent livestream, Ezra Levant reviewed footage from a Toronto anti-lockdown rally where our cameraman Mocha (@BezirganMocha on Twitter) caught some police radio chatter advising cops to arrest anyone with a megaphone or a sign.
A Salon essay published on Friday accuses Republicans of resembling “good Germans” of the Nazi era — wishing to believe they are decent people while hiding behind “fictions of plausible deniability for the evils committed by their leader” — and describes today’s conservatism as seeking “friendly fascism” masked in an appeal to return to “traditional values.”
While much of the media has been focused on the supposed ‘change’ in Canada-US relations since the Biden Administration took office, the reality is that much of that change is merely rhetorical.
In fact, the biggest ‘change’ has been the US cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline, something that hurts Canada.
And now, we see another example of how the US is continuing ‘America First’ policies under a new President.
Speaking to NBC’s Meet the Press on Saturday, Trudeau distanced himself from Saudi Arabia after U.S. officials concluded the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was ordered by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.

To those bothering to look, it is a current that alarmingly is growing in strength, becoming inescapable, and, with increasing speed is taking us further and further away from that shining light on the hill we were raised to love and used to call home. As that light—symbolic of our liberties and freedoms—fades in the distance, we are being swept away against our will toward a dark place ruled by a self-chosen cabal of elitists who have proclaimed themselves to be uniquely endowed with a politically correct humanist form of “enlightenment.”
It has been said many times by many writers and commentators: America is broken. We see a country riven by innumerable social factions, political conflicts, partisan animosities and incompatible red and blue states that make a mockery of the call for unity. Unity no longer exists and is now little more than a figment of unsustainable hope. Mutual antagonisms seem to have gone too deep for healing.
