As China’s Big Tech Hits America, Biden Signals Surrender

On February 11, the Justice Department asked the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to put on hold its review of the Trump-era ban on WeChat, the popular Chinese messaging app.

This request came a day after the administration asked the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia for a similar hold on the case considering the Trump ban on the Chinese mobile video-sharing platform TikTok.

Lower U.S. courts had previously enjoined the enforcement of the Trump bans. WeChat users and TikTok had sued to block enforcement. Trump banned the apps because they were, he correctly contended, collecting “vast swaths” of data and censoring Americans.

News Corp. and Google reach global news-sharing deal

News Corp., the parent company of the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal, said it has reached a three-year agreement to provide content from its news sites around the globe to Google in exchange for “significant payments” from the search giant.

The deal appears to resolve a long-simmering standoff between News Corp. and Google that has spilled across multiple continents and spurred government efforts worldwide to curb Google’s growing dominance over online advertising, most prominently in Australia.

‘Spy pixels in emails have become endemic’

The use of “invisible” tracking tech in emails is now “endemic”, according to a messaging service that analysed its traffic at the BBC’s request.

Hey’s review indicated that two-thirds of emails sent to its users’ personal accounts contained a “spy pixel”, even after excluding for spam.

Its makers said that many of the largest brands used email pixels, with the exception of the “big tech” firms.

Defenders of the trackers say they are a commonplace marketing tactic.

New legislation promises to let cities ban handguns, yet it remains unclear if it will work

While proposed gun control legislation put forward by the Liberal government on Tuesday would permit cities to ban handguns — with bylaws that restrict their possession, storage and transportation — it remains unclear whether the new measures would succeed in reducing gun crime.

Under the proposed legislation, cities would have a range of options.

Some include an outright ban on having a handgun anywhere within a city’s limits. Or a city could ban the storage of handguns in a house, requiring owners to pay for storage at a gun club or other facility.

‘Hate-filled’ account owners preparing lawsuit against Edmonton high school students over violent threats

The creators of the controversial “Scona White Student Alliance” Instagram page are preparing a class-action lawsuit against fellow students at Strathcona High School for uttering violent threats over its content, including a tirade condemning anti-racism discussions in the classroom and its “anti-white” rhetoric.

In their first post, they called for racial equality – for individuals to be judged by their actions and the content of their character. However, they also exclaimed “White lives matter” in the same post.

I’m not familiar with the account in question but if posting “White Lives Matter” is their only crime then it’s further proof that “anti-racism” is now just cover for anti-white bigotry.

Trudeau’s Liberal government owes families $200M across 3 provinces after underestimating carbon tax revenue

The federal government owes Canadian families in three provinces more than $200 million after underestimating how much it would raise from the carbon tax during the first year of the program.

Finance Canada thought the new price on pollution would bring in about $2.3 billion in 2019. When the final tallies were counted however, the program raised $2.42 billion.

By law, all revenued from the carbon price are to be returned to the province in which they were raised, with 10 per cent going into funds to help smaller businesses, schools, hospitals and municipal governments cut their own emissions and 90 per cent going to families through income tax rebates.

Ontario government still working on specific ‘triggers’ for emergency brake as businesses reopen in many regions

The Ontario government is still working on drafting specific “triggers” for when the so-called emergency brake can be invoked, despite the recent lifting of the stay-at-home order and the reopening of businesses in many parts of the province.

Premier Doug Ford told reporters on Tuesday that he wouldn’t hesitate to use the “emergency break” to move regions back into lockdown if COVID-19 cases spike due to spread of new, more contagious variants.

Sainted Irish Mudda’s floor at the hospital is still under lockdown, 6 cases in total one of which is suspected to be the UK variant.

What Hold Does China Have Over Justin Trudeau?

You can always tell when something is a bit off when politicians avoid an opportunity to gain popularity.

What I mean by this is that all the polls show China’s government is horrendously unpopular among Canadians, with up to 90% of the country having a negative view.

Similarly, about 80% want Huawei banned.

And an almost-equal number want Canada to pursue trade partners other than China and reduce our dependence on China.

So, getting tough on China would be an easy way for the federal government to score political points.

They would be both standing up for the country, and boosting their own political fortunes.

And yet, it doesn’t happen.

France Votes on Government Oversight of Mosques Law, Islamism Crackdown

The bill is part of broader French efforts to fight extremism in recent years that gained new urgency after a teacher was beheaded in October and other attacks. President Emmanuel Macron says the efforts are also needed to protect French values like gender equality and secularism from encroaching fundamentalism in some communities.

Canada to Fall Short of 2021 Immigration Target, RBC Says

Canada will fail to hit immigration targets for a second straight year as border restrictions remain in place, according to one of the nation’s top banks.

The country will probably welcome closer to 275,000 new permanent residents this year, versus a target of 401,000, Royal Bank of Canada economist Andrew Agopsowicz said in a report Tuesday. Last year, Canadian immigration dropped by almost half to 184,370, its lowest levels in more than two decades.
