Saskatoon Catholic bishop pens open letter calling vaccine mandates ‘severe,’ ‘ethically questionable’

A Saskatoon bishop has written an open letter on what he calls the severity of vaccine mandates. He copied both the Premier Scott Moe and Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark in the letter.

Bishop Mark Hagemoen of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon wrote the letter after a City of Saskatoon bylaw that would have restricted gathering sizes in Saskatoon — including for places of worship, unless proof of vaccination was required — was recently defeated.

“The vaccine mandates for the general population are becoming severe and perhaps ethically questionable in our current circumstances — at least as these relate to environments outside of health-care facilities,” said Hagemoen in the letter.

Oligarchy News: Edward Rogers can replace independent directors, B.C. Supreme Court judge rules

Edward Rogers won full control over Canada’s largest wireless carrier on Friday when a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled that he can replace five of Rogers Communications Inc. independent directors without holding a shareholder meeting.

The ruling means Mr. Rogers is once again chair of the telecom and media giant’s board of directors, after weeks of intense conflict erupted when he attempted to unseat chief executive officer Joe Natale and other senior executives.

Mr. Rogers has been opposed in the family and boardroom drama by his mother, Loretta Rogers, his sisters Martha Rogers and Melinda Rogers-Hixon and five former independent directors.

Business greets Canada-U.S. border opening as glass half full due to testing rule

OTTAWA – Monday’s reopening of the Canada-U.S. land border is sparking a mixed reaction among Canadian business leaders: They’re excited that people and not just goods will be crossing the border again but are wary of remaining red tape.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Business Council of Canada say the Canadian requirement for returning travellers to provide a recent, negative molecular test is an unnecessary obstacle to kick-starting business travel and tourism.

They say proof of vaccination is all that should be needed and the test requirement should be scrapped.

The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is a master class in how not to prosecute a case

On August 25, 2020, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, armed with an AR-15 and a medical kit, went to Kenosha, Wisconsin to offer first aid and protect businesses against looting and arson. By evening’s end, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber were dead, and Gaige Grosskreutz had a hole in his arm. Rittenhouse is now being tried for murder, although he claims — and video evidence and witness testimony confirm — he acted in self-defense.

No Joke: Taliban Asks for International Aid to Help It Fight…Climate Change

Kyle Shideler, the Director/Senior Analyst for Homeland Security & Counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy, said it best: “They may have a 7th-century law code, but they grift with the best of the 21st century.” The Taliban does indeed appear to have caught on to one of the most lucrative gravy trains of the first part of the 21st century and are eager to get in on the loot; the jihad terror group has issued a call for aid from international organizations to help it fight the scourge of climate change.

No, Colin Kaepernick, the NFL is not just like slavery

Who knew the life of a multimillionaire sports superstar could be so oppressive?

The first episode of the new Netflix series, Colin in Black & White, opens with former National Football League quarterback and current social-justice activist Colin Kaepernick comparing the NFL Scouting Combine, where NFL teams assess prospective players, to a slave auction.

‘Before they put you on the field’, Kaepernick says, addressing the camera, ‘teams poke, prod and examine you, searching for any defect that may affect your performance. No boundary respected. No dignity left intact.’

The Intentional Destabilization of America

The attacks on America are not accidental nor the result of ignorance and stupidity. No, the attacks are intentional and strategic. The goal is the transformation of America, which would be made possible by the destruction of America’s core institutions. This intention is stated explicitly by President Biden, who said in August 2021 that his “Build Back Better” bill would transform America. “Today, the House of Representatives has taken a significant step toward making a historic investment that’s going to transform America.”
