Laurier student wears lettuce mask to protest ongoing mask mandates

WATERLOO — In the spaces where strict COVID-19 mandates remain, anti-mandate protesters remain.

At Wilfrid Laurier University — one of five universities in Ontario where masks are still mandatory — some students are gearing up for an anti-mandate protest at the end of the month at Waterloo Town Square.

The demonstration is being planned by Kamil Bachouchi, a fourth-year philosophy student at Laurier whose posts have gone viral for wearing nonstandard masks to class — he has worn a scuba mask, a piece of romaine lettuce and a garbage bin in lieu of a standard medical mask.

Nanotechnology Used in Covid Vaccines, 2,000 Foods, Goes Unlabeled

If you’re one of those people that can often be found in the food aisles of grocery stores reading labels and looking for ingredients you can’t pronounce and don’t want to eat, you’ve most likely noticed several ingredients that, unbeknownst to you, are made using nanotechnology—a process that converts silver, copper, gold, aluminum, silicon, carbon, and metal oxides, among other metals, into atom-sized particles that are one-billionth of a meter in size.

Liberal Canada is in sore need of a change in management

I hate this asshole.

… Canada’s outlook is grim. The Business Council of British Columbia noted that the OECD has predicted that Canada “will be the worst performing advanced economy over 2020 to 2030.” It added that Canada will have the worst economic growth among advanced economies from 2030 to 2060. “In other words, Canada will be dead last not only for the next decade, but also for the three decades after that.”

LA mass shooting suspect is “Asian Male” – 10 dead in Lunar New Year fest massacre

Update – California cops hunt ‘Asian man’ over Chinese Lunar New Year dance studio massacre but ‘unclear’ if linked to second shooting two miles away: Ten dead – five men and five woman – and ten hospitalized

Law enforcement in California say the suspect in the Chinese New Year dance club massacre has been described as an ‘Asian man,’ and that it remains unclear if the suspect is linked to another shooting two miles down the road.

The update arrived as a desperate manhunt remains underway by law enforcement in the Los Angeles area after a gunman left 10 dead and another 10 hospitalized at a Monterey Park dance hall on Saturday night.

MONTEREY PARK, Calif. (AP) — A gunman killed 10 people and wounded 10 others at a Los Angeles-area ballroom dance club following a Lunar New Year celebration, setting off a manhunt for the suspect in the fifth mass killing in the U.S. this month.

Capt. Andrew Meyer of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said Sunday that the wounded were taken to hospitals and their conditions range from stable to critical. He said the 10 people died at the scene in the city of Monterey Park.

Meyer said people were “pouring out of the location screaming” when officers arrived at around 10:30 p.m. Saturday. He said officers then went into the ballroom and found victims as firefighters treated the wounded.

At least ten people have been killed and another ten rushed to hospital after a mass shooting at a dance club in Los Angeles.

A man with an assault-style rifle reportedly opened fire at the ballroom during a Chinese Lunar New Year event in Monterey Park.

The gunman, who has not been named, is still believed to be at large following the deadly attack just after 10pm on Saturday.

Peter Menzies: Ottawa’s Speech-Restricting Legislation Built on Same Foundation That Aims to Silence Peterson, Rowling

I’m not quite sure when counselling people to make their bed every morning became a seditious act of far-right extremism, but according to a coalition in the nation’s capital, the two are linked.

Starting each day with a completed task such as tucking the sheets in is among Jordan Peterson’s tips in his book “12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos,” which has now been on Amazon’s list of best-sellers for 256 weeks. He may be internationally renowned as a leading public intellectual, but in Canada some people want him shut down.

GOLDSTEIN: Liberals praise their ‘Just Transition’ plan no one has seen

If the federal government’s “Just Transition” program for workers who will be laid off in Canada’s transformation into a green energy superpower is as great as the Liberals and their media apologists claim, where is it?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised it in the 2019 federal election and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said recently he hopes to unveil it early this year.

British Museum bans use of “Mummy” out of ‘respect’ for 3,000-year-old dead

It might seem impossible to hurt the feelings of a 3,000-year-old corpse. But woke museum chiefs have stopped using the word ‘mummy’ to describe the remains of ancient Egyptians, all in the name of ‘respect’.

They say the term is dehumanising to those who died and – of course – an unwelcome throwback to Britain’s colonial past.

The phrase now deemed politically acceptable is ‘mummified person’ or ‘mummified remains’.

Wyoming lawmakers push to ban all electric vehicles by 2035

Justin Trudeau crying on cue.

While Canada moves to get gas-powered vehicles off the road, lawmakers in Wyoming have gone in the opposite direction and are calling for a ban on electric vehicles.

The bill, introduced into the state legislature on Jan. 13 by Senator Jim Anderson and other Republicans, supports phasing out the sale of new electric vehicles in Wyoming by 2035.

How the American cultural establishment submits to Islam

The American cultural establishment behaves like the Saudis when it comes to Islam.

A professor at Hamline University, Erika López Prater, showed a picture of the Prophet Mohammed in class. The decision sparked a storm on campus after students reported the incident and the university refused to renew the professor’s contract. The case took place during an art history lesson. The lecturer had shown images of two paintings of Muhammad from the 14th and 16th centuries.

Medieval works are considered canonical. The teacher had given a two-minute warning to the class beforehand so that observant Muslim students could choose not to view the material for religious reasons. The case was reported by the university’s Muslim Student Association, which described the lecturer as an “Islamophobe” in an email to staff.

Conrad Black: The overreach of the agency tasked with auditing the auditors

In the third and last comment in this space about the eager and oppressive overreach of organizations that monitor and govern our learned professions and skilled trades and crafts, I cannot resist giving suitable attention to the Canadian Public Accountability Board (CPAB). The portentous title of this organization, which governs the accounting profession in Canada, rightly incites fear of an effective reign of terror visited upon accountants.

Vietnam still haunts America

People and politics have been distorted by 50 years of trauma

In the course of his troubled presidency, Richard Nixon spoke 14 times to the American people about the war in Vietnam. It was in one of those speeches that he coined the phrase “the silent majority”, while others provoked horror and outrage from those opposed to America’s longest war. But of all these televised addresses, none enjoyed a warmer reaction that the speech Nixon delivered on 23 January 1973, announcing that his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, had achieved a breakthrough in the Paris peace talks with the North Vietnamese.

The NATO Alliance Is Holding Strong on Ukraine. But Fractures Are Emerging.

The allies differ on strategy for the coming year and the more immediate question of what Ukraine needs ahead of a major offensive in the spring.

… When the new British foreign secretary, James Cleverly, visited Washington this week, he gathered reporters for lunch and made the case that it is possible for Ukraine to score a “victory” in the war this year if the allies move fast to exploit Russia’s weaknesses. Officials in Poland, the Baltic States and Finland have largely agreed with the British assessment.

American officials pushed back, saying it is critical to pace the aid, and not flood Ukraine with equipment its troops cannot yet operate. And they argue that in a world of limited resources, it would be wise to keep something in reserve for what the Pentagon believes will likely be a drawn-out conflict, in which Russia will try to wear Ukraine down with relentless barrages and tactics reminiscent of World War I and II.

So the emerging “consensus” is that this will be a longer conflict and the winner is yet to be decided.

Ukraine’s army and western tech have so far proved superior, I doubt Putin can motivate the masses the way Stalin did in “The Great Patriotic War” even from the barrel of a gun.

How the Californian dream became a nightmare

Once a byword for aspiration, the golden state is crumbling under the weight of ‘progressive’ ideology.

For Americans, California once looked like the future. It was a state defined by risk-taking and utopian dreaming. Yet for most Californians today, the upward mobility so central to the state’s ethos is rapidly disappearing. For decades, California was the primary destination for both other Americans and for foreign immigrants. Now, this trend has gone into reverse, with people and companies leaving the state. Population growth, already slowing over the past decade, has turned negative for the first time in modern California’s history, largely due to the state’s shrinking middle and working classes and its loss of families.
