Pfizer to ramp up vaccine deliveries but questions remain about Trudeau’s targets

Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the military commander leading Canada’s vaccine logistics, said today that pharmaceutical giant Pfizer will significantly ramp up its deliveries of doses next month.

Fortin said 444,000 Pfizer doses will be delivered each week for the first two weeks of March.

While those delivery figures are significantly higher than the amounts Canada has been receiving in recent weeks — only 70,000 Pfizer doses were delivered this week, for example — they raise questions about the government’s ability to hit Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s promised target of six million doses delivered by the end of March.

How Amnesty Causes Human Misery, Endangers Public Health

Mexican police officers were arrested last week and charged in the killing of more than a dozen Guatemalan migrants on the way to the United States.

Their bodies were shot and burned near the U.S. border in a violence-riddled corridor frequently used by smugglers.

Such tragedies are not uncommon. Mexican police particularly at the state and local level have often been accused of exploiting and killing migrants. Criminal organizations routinely prey on vulnerable people who are often smuggled through violent and cartel-controlled areas.

The left often paints amnesty as a humanitarian act, but clearly, the facts paint a darker reality. Promises of mass legalization and weakened enforcement lead to these tragedies.

But pushing amnesty and permitting catch-and-release in the middle of a pandemic will lead to far greater human misery with the spread of COVID-19.

Canada’s ‘huge’ and ‘remarkable’ immigration offer to Hongkongers is partly political, partly pragmatic

When Canada unveiled new details of its open work permit scheme for Hongkongers this month, it framed the action as part of a defence of democratic values, against Beijing’s “controversial national security law”.

Canada stood “shoulder to shoulder with the people of Hong Kong”, and the new scheme showed Ottawa’s “solidarity with other like-minded allies”, said Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino.
But the programme, first announced in November, also represents one of the opening salvoes in a contest among Western countries to attract talented young people from Hong Kong, amid the city’s political upheaval.

Immigration experts on both sides of the Pacific said they were greatly surprised by the Canadian scheme’s scope, calling it “huge” and “remarkable”.

We’ve had the Reichstag fire – what’s next?

Let’s see. Let’s not forget that we currently also have the purge of the armed forces to root out those defined as extremists on the right. It’s not the same as a personal loyalty oath to the leader that was required of the German military under Hitler, but it’s a way to make sure our military is composed of people unlikely to turn on the left no matter what.

Google, Facebook tell SCOTUS it should be harder for you to sue them

Suing technology firms when they mess up is already hard, especially when it’s over privacy violations. Now, Facebook, Google, and the trade groups representing all the big tech firms are asking the Supreme Court to make it even harder for class actions to pursue cases against them.

Facebook, Google, and all the others submitted a filing (PDF) to the Supreme Court this week essentially arguing that if you cannot prove the specific extent to which their screwup injured you, you should not have any grounds to be part of a lawsuit against them.

‘Systemic racism’ is a conspiracy theory

The narrative behind movements like Black Lives Matter contends that hundreds – if not thousands – of black Americans are murdered by the state on an annual basis, that harassment and abuse of blacks by whites is constant, and that virtually all gaps in performance between racial groups must reflect hidden racism. These claims are almost universally false. But they have been accepted as conventional wisdom.

“Check your aversion to Rebel Media”: Feds circulate our report on masks

Liberal party staffers circulated a story published by Rebel News last year, asking Minister of Health Patty Hajdu and staff to “check” their “aversion” and review our interview concerning a Chinese manufacturer trying to send medical supplies to Canada.

From there, a Hajdu staffer forwarded the email chain to a staffer working for Minister of Procurement Anita Anand.
