Start packing those bouncy castles and barbeques, horns will still be honking in Winnipeg, February 17-21.
World Unity Convoy 2023 is still on.
“The Winnipeg convoy is still proceeding,” participant Ron Clark told the Western Standard.
Confusion stemmed from a recent press release issued by Team Canada Unity’s James Bauder.
I am confused.
The Chinese Communist Party’s effort to blame its titanic coronavirus disaster on its own people, because they foolishly challenged the wisdom of dictator Xi Jinping’s endless lockdowns, apparently is not going well.
On Monday, the state-run Global Times took a stab at blaming “imported cases” for the tidal wave of Chinese coronavirus sickness and death sweeping across China.
Only 15 months after experiencing one of the most inconsequential elections in history, Canadians are apparently willing to try again.
Nearly half (49 per cent) of Canadians want a federal election in 2023, according to a poll conducted just before Christmas by Ipsos. What’s more, 54 per cent of respondents would want that election to not feature Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader.
The man who fired more than 30 shots on a New York City subway train last spring pleaded guilty to terrorism charges on Tuesday. Frank James was arrested on 13 April 2022 after opening fire on the subway, shooting 10 people.
James, 63 and from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, pleaded guilty to 10 counts of committing a terrorist attack or other violence against a mass transportation vehicle – one count for each gunshot victim, the Department of Justice noted – and one count of discharging a firearm in furtherance of his attack.
About 30 people required medical treatment after the shooting, which happened on 12 April, including four schoolchildren aged 12 to 16. In addition to bullet wounds, victims suffered smoke inhalation and injuries from falls and panic.
It might be a stretch to describe Gen. Wayne Eyre as a modern Cassandra.
Still, over the latter half of 2022, Canada’s top military commander delivered — in public and before House of Commons committees — increasingly stark warnings about the future geopolitical landscape, where the war between Russia and Ukraine could go and the intentions of other disruptive international actors, such as China.
Whether he’s been disbelieved or dismissed — like the Trojan priestess of Greek mythology — has depended largely on his audience.
The Liberal government is aiming to move forward early this year with its “just transition” legislation intended to help workers in Canada’s oil and gas sector to move into green energy jobs, according to Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson.
“I said it many times publicly that I do not believe that the challenge we are going to face is that there are workers who are displaced that will not find other good-paying jobs,” Wilkinson told CBC News. “I am actually quite worried that there are so many opportunities … we will not have enough workers to fill the jobs.”
Denmark has discovered an unexpected benefit of a cashless society after bank robberies in the Scandinavian country fell to zero.
Figures from Finans Danmark, an industry association, show the number of attacks has collapsed in recent years as the shift towards online transactions has led many Danish banks to abandon cash services in branches. While there were 221 bank robberies in 2000, the number of hold-ups in Denmark fell to 121 in 2004, before declining to one in 2021 and none last year.
Russian forces are having to fight for weeks to capture “a single home” in Bakhmut, the head of the mercenary Wagner Group has said, as he appeared to cast the blame for slow progress on a lack of supplies from the Kremlin.
Bakhmut is one of the largest towns still held by Kyiv in the industrial Donetsk region and has been the focus of the Russian onslaught since August.
British intelligence has said that Russia’s forces are unlikely to make a breakthrough despite throwing thousands of men at the town in one of the bloodiest battles of the war.
At the present time, China is the greatest threat to world stability, Russia is the world’s premier aggressor-nation and Islamist groups are the primary exporters of terror and (religious) totalitarianism.
And, for the first time in history, America is the world’s major exporter of destructive ideas.
This is hard for me to write. One of my books is titled “Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph.” It contrasts American values with leftist values and makes the case that the American value system is the finest ever devised. I define American values — what I call the “American Trinity” — as “Liberty,” “In God We Trust” and “E Pluribus Unum,” (Latin for “From many, one”), the three American mottoes found on American coins and banknotes.
With Republicans set to take control of the House, GOP congressional leaders have promised to hold President Biden, his administration, and federal bureaucrats to account and get to the truth on key issues. But after a series of dragged-out investigations into former President Trump and other Republicans, CNN had suddenly had their fill of congressional inquiries with correspondent Randi “Kush” Kaye scoffing at Republicans during Monday’s Anderson Cooper 360.
FORMER Wall Street executive Edward Dowd, whom I interviewed for TCW last year, has been dissecting excess mortality statistics recorded since the Covid pandemic began three years ago. He has analysed and reanalysed the numbers and has concluded that excess death rates, in those aged 26-41, are closely related to the administration of Covid vaccinations.
‘From February 2021 to March 2022, millennials experienced the equivalent of a Vietnam war, with more than 60,000 excess deaths,’ he said. ‘The Vietnam war took 12 years to kill the same number of healthy young people we’ve just seen die in 12 months.’
They’re more like the modern Left than they think
Ever since the election of Donald Trump, the putative rise of “white supremacy” or “white nationalism” has been a perennial worry among mainstream pundits, both inside America and abroad. For liberals, the imminent rise of “fascism” serves as a powerful rhetorical device and a political cudgel to be wielded against those on the Right — but even among conservatives there is occasional and genuine concern that racism as a political force might be making an ugly return, especially among the young.
The Bible is pretty darn clear: God created two human sexes, labeling them as male and female. “Male and female created He them” (Genesis 1:27). One would expect that a vicar of a Christian church grounded in Biblical scripture would accept God’s foundational creations, but Bingo Allison (yes, that’s his real name) knows better. The “gender-queer” vicar says that his epiphany came when he was reading Genesis, at which time he concluded that God intended sexual fluidity. No wonder Christianity is dying in England, even as Islam rises.
Our woke military brass don’t know how to win wars, but know their pronouns.
In 2020, the Air Force conducted a classified war game which showed Communist China launching a biological attack and then invading Taiwan.
“At that point the trend in our war games was not just that we were losing, but we were losing faster,” Air Force Lt. Gen. S. Clinton Hinote stated.
During a regularly scheduled Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, Bills safety Damar Hamlin was transported off the field via ambulance following a sudden collapse.
