Reports suggesting that the UK government is contemplating a ban on alcohol when pubs reopen after lockdown in April have provoked fury and disbelief from Brits on Twitter.
On Friday, the Daily Telegraph reported that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government is considering a policy which would only allow pubs to reopen if they don’t sell alcohol – an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus due to drunk people being less likely to follow social distancing rules.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is telling Canadians a very different story about our vaccine shortage now compared to what he said late last year.
Despite his urgency today, in November Trudeau’s message was that Canadians would have to wait because…

The Ontario government is considering extending the stay-at-home order across most of province but will begin to gradually reopen the economy in some areas as soon as next week, sources tell CTV News Toronto and The Canadian Press.
Premier Doug Ford met with his cabinet on Friday to discuss what measures need to be taken to control the spread of COVID-19 in the province and an official announcement could come as soon as Monday.
Sources told CTV News Toronto that Ford’s cabinet was urged by public health officials to extend the stay-at-home order for at least one more week – until Feb. 16 – across most of the province, while pushing it an additional two weeks – until Feb. 22 – in Toronto, Peel Region and York Region.
“This show has obtained, exclusively, evidence that Bank of America, the second largest bank in the country with more than 60 million customers, is actively, but secretly, engaged in the hunt for extremists in cooperation with the government,” Carlson said. “Bank of America is, without the knowledge or the consent of its customers, sharing private information with federal law enforcement agencies. Bank of America, effectively, is acting as an intelligence agency. But they are not telling you about it.”
The book will not be made public until April 6, but many have pre-ordered the book. The Daily Caller asked Amazon why the book was listed under the “Chinese biographies” section, but had not heard back at time of publication.
“What Clearview does is mass surveillance and it is illegal,” said Canadian privacy commissioner Daniel Therrien. “It is completely unacceptable for millions of people who will never be implicated in any crime to find themselves continually in a police lineup. Yet the company continues to claim its purposes were appropriate.”
“I just want to let you know how proud I am of each and every single one of you for putting yourselves and your bodies on the line!…It is so incredibly important” she exclaims to the new leftist occupiers of Pelosi’s office in 2016.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), notorious for branding mainstream conservative and Christian nonprofits “hate groups” and including them on a list with the Ku Klux Klan while ignoring the destructive and deadly antifa riots, has adopted Marxist critical race theory and has asked the government to push this noxious agenda in public schools. This week, the SPLC urged President Joe Biden to direct taxpayer funds to develop a “curriculum on structural racism” in the Department of Education. The smear group also revamped its Teaching Tolerance program, which pushes its leftist agenda in schools.
A growing chorus of Communist Party-approved Chinese scientists are demanding the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) send a team of investigators to find the origin of the Chinese coronavirus in America and Europe, the state-run propaganda outlet Global Times reported Thursday.
“Canada should not be taking the COVAX vaccine from poor nations to alleviate political pressures at home. Receiving one or two million doses isn’t going to solve Canada’s vaccination challenges and it is going to cause harm elsewhere in the world for the poorest and most marginalized people,” Sarosi said in a statement.
Democrats are acting really smug these days. They think that having control of the whole show lets them do as they please. They forget that the laws of physics can’t be broken, even by George Soros. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Then there is the law of Karma. The one that works out to “what comes around goes around.” They may want to think twice before opening Pandora’s box on impeachment because it could come back to haunt Hillary Clinton, just to pick one name from the hat. If Trump can be impeached retroactively, she can too. So can Eric Holder and Barack Obama. Democrats are warned to be careful what they ask for because they might get it.
Alberta MLA Drew Barnes is calling for a referendum on independence when Albertans go to the polls next, going beyond the equalization referendum promised by Premier Jason Kenney. Barnes tells True North’s Andrew Lawton an independence referendum would give the province bargaining power with the federal government, and if negotiations are unsuccessful put the province in a position to seek a future outside of Confederation. Would you support such a ballot question?
Alberta – Texas Freedom Corridor now!
Over the years, I’ve developed a serious nag with the frozen breakfast burrito. Sure, you can wrap some stuff in a tortilla, stick it in the freezer, microwave the hell out of it the next day, and eat it.
It’ll be okay. Of course, it won’t be as good as a fresh one, and if you’re stuck with a freezer full of them, you might lose interest over time.
My real problem with the frozen breakfast burrito is the tortilla. If you are microwaving the burrito, by the time the filling is thawed and hot, the tortilla is a nightmare. It’s either tough and leathery or soggy.
There is an easy solution to this, which for some reason, I hadn’t considered until recently. It’s these Make Ahead Breakfast Burrito Pouches! You just freeze the filling! Then you microwave that and make the burrito fresh in the morning.
It’s still really fast and tastes about as fresh as a frozen burrito can taste. It’s AWESOME.
The $6.6-billion pipeline is designed to carry natural gas, obtained by hydraulic fracturing — also known as fracking — in northeastern B.C., to a $40-billion LNG terminal on the province’s North Coast for export to Asia.
The federal government’s plans for a mass-vaccination campaign to start in April were thrown off when Health Canada approved the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines sooner than expected, leaving Ottawa scrambling to secure vaccines earlier with little success.
In December of 2018 in Vancouver, Canada arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. extradition warrant. China responded by taking captive Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. As Solarina Ho of CTV News reports, Trudeau has spoken to Joe Biden about the case and “should the U.S. withdraw its charges against Meng, it could give China a reason to release Kovrig and Spavor,” now in their third year of captivity.
A bill passed by the Virginia House on Thursday requires five public colleges and universities to offer scholarships or economic development programs to the descendants of slaves who labored on the campuses.
The renowned historian H. G. Wells once said of Joseph Stalin, “I like Uncle Joe very much. He’s a great man.” That would be a terrific motto to replace the outmoded slogan of slavery and white supremacy, “In God We Trust,” that is currently emblazoned behind the podium of the Speaker of the House. Now that Stalinist show trials have come to Congress, we all like Uncle Joe very much. Or else. And you have to give them credit: this impeach-a-private-citizen-because-we-hate-him business opens up a whole universe of sparkling new possibilities. Yesterday I offered a list of five presidents who must be impeached now, but that’s just the beginning.
A Tech columnist for The New York Times urged the Biden administration Tuesday to tackle the avalanche of misinformation flooding the internet, cable and broadcast news.
And the columnist, Kevin Roose, even suggested how to do it (and no, it wasn’t by banning CNN and MSNBC).
He proposed that the president appoint a “reality czar” to lead a task force that would separate fact from fiction.
“This task force could also meet regularly with tech platforms and push for structural changes that could help those companies tackle their own extremism and misinformation problems,” Roose wrote.
The corruption of the Renaissance Church prompted the Reformation, which in turn sparked a Counter-Reformation of reformist, and more zealous, Catholics.
The cultural excesses and economic recklessness of the Roaring ’20s were followed by the bleak, dour and impoverished years of the Great Depression.
Since the January 6th riot at the Capitol, the talking heads in the media, political elites, and other progressive activists have been opining on the need to deprogram Trump supporters as they attempt to paint us all as craven conspiracy theorists with the potential for violence. You see this in their obsession with Representative Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.), a freshman member with no real political power. Yet, they take her past comments and extrapolate her insane assertions to half the population. Yes, dear readers, if you liked the foreign policy or domestic policy implemented by the Trump administration better than what Joe Biden offered, you are now seen as a member of a cult.
