Bike theft is on the rise in Canada and no one, it seems, is safe. Not even Jagmeet Singh.
The federal NDP leader, a long-time bike commuter and cycling advocate discovered his favorite Dutch cruiser was stolen recently.
A Dutch Cruiser? Is that manufactured in Canada?

Health Canada has approved the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine and doses could start arriving as early as next week — that’s the good news.
The bad news is there aren’t enough doses to significantly move up the timeline for most Canadians seeking a vaccine shot.
Community members of an East York neighbourhood are up in arms about the City of Toronto‘s plans to replace a parking lot with 64 units of affordable housing for the region’s homeless population.
“This area is the children’s recreational hub for the whole of East York and there’s a lot of safety issues and concerns that we have,” said community member Mark Battenberg.
The parking lot is located on Cedarvale Avenue near Woodbine Avenue and O’Connor Drive.
Beaches East York’ NDP MP is Rima Berns-McGown the party’s critic for Poverty & Homelessness. Federally they voted Liberal, of course.
China is one of the main manufacturers of fentanyl and plays a key role in the current overdose crisis in Canada, Public Safety Minister Bill Blair told a parliamentary committee on Feb. 25.
“It’s no secret that China is one of the main source countries of fentanyl, as well as the precursor chemicals used to make this highly potent and deadly synthetic opioids,” Blair said.
“Illegal fentanyl and fentanyl-like drugs are being mixed in with and contaminating other drugs. This continues to be a major driving factor in the overdose crisis that has tragically cut so many lives short in Canada.”
(CNSNews.com) – It is now offensive and inappropriate in the U.S. Congress for a lawmaker to question a transgender physician about her views on minor children making the decision to change their sex through hormone use and surgery.
No surprise there’s turmoil in the potato patch, weeping in the vegetable cellar.
It’s all in the wake of that Hasbro crowd sucking up to the woke crowd and trying to knock the most famous potato in the world, one of the toy company’s top-sellers for almost 70 years, off his — deservedly earned — Patriarch-of-all-the-Starches Throne, the venerable Mr. Potato Head.

Shhh.
As the city takes a second look at its fireworks bylaw — including consulting the public on how they’re sold and when they’re used — an animal rights group wants a ban on the noisy ones, opting for “quiet fireworks, because they are less terrifying for animals and people with PTSD.”
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has taken down its tweet that claimed lockdowns have been “quietly improving cities,” and admitted that is not the case. But the backdown didn’t spare the globalist titan from a new wave of mockery.
The WEF’s controversial message turned out to be quite short-lived, surviving less than a day on its feed under a barrage of outraged comments. The tweet was accompanied by a video, showing deserted streets and silent factories, that noted a record drop in carbon emissions. It also linked to an article claiming that silent cities contributed to better detection of minor earthquakes.
Top NORAD commander had affair with American co-worker but DND says no rules were broken
National Defence has confirmed that the top Canadian officer at NORAD had an affair with a co-worker but says the general broke no rules as the woman was outside his direct chain of command.
News of the relationship between Lt.-Gen. Chris Coates and a U.S. civilian employee comes as the conduct and ethics of the military leadership have been called into question over a couple of high-profile investigations.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon pricing regime has become an expensive, confusing, multi-headed Hydra in which claims made by his government are not accurate and promises have been broken.
Among these inaccuracies and broken promises are the government’s claim the carbon tax is revenue neutral in the four provinces where it applies, that 80% of households are financially better off because of rebates and that the tax, currently at $30 per tonne of industrial greenhouse gas emissions, would be frozen at $50 per tonne in 2022.
Sons of bureaucrat fired after COVID-19 fraud are suing the Ford government for $1M, alleging ‘indifference’ to theft
Two sons of the Ontario bureaucrat fired after the alleged theft of $11 million in COVID-19 relief funds are each suing Premier Doug Ford’s government for $1 million for “psychological” damages, the Star has learned.
Chinmaya Madan, 27, and Ujjawal Madan, 24, served the province with counter claims Friday charging the government’s “allegation of conspiracy” against them is “preposterous” and “has been advanced recklessly and maliciously.”
The brothers allege they are “victim(s) of identity theft committed by (their) own father,” because hundreds of bank accounts were opened in their names without their knowledge.
They’re the real victims!
A prominent donor to WE Charity has alleged that the charity was “duplicitous” in its relationships with donors and has failed to provide a proper accounting of its use of donor funds in Kenya.
Reed Cowan, a U.S. television journalist who estimates that he has mobilized millions of dollars for WE Charity, told a House of Commons committee that the charity had misled donors by promising sponsorship of the same Kenyan school to different groups without their knowledge.
It’s no wonder the Kielburgers and the Liberal Party embraced one another, they’re philosophical and ethical twins convinced they’re doing “The Lords Work.”

Barrie latest city placed under lockdown as province invokes emergency brake in Simcoe-Muskoka and Thunder Bay health units
The Ontario government is invoking its so-called “emergency brake” and placing both the Simcoe-Muskoka District Health Unit and the Thunder Bay District Health Unit under the grey lockdown category in its tiered framework for COVID-19 restrictions.
The move means that the vast majority of non-essential businesses in both Simcoe-Muskoka and Thunder Bay will have to close as of 12:01 a.m. on Monday.
Social gatherings will also be prohibited, except among members of the same household.
By this standard Toronto will be quarantined forever.
When you review the latest congressional favorability poll, it is incredible that Democrats hold the House or the Senate. Rassmussen polled 1,000 likely voters, which means a respondent has voted in the last several elections, and asked them about our congressional leaders, and added Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to see how she compared with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and who voters thought congressional Democrats in Congress should emulate.
The results are mixed. Individually, Ocasio-Cortez is wildly unlikeable, but so are Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
