OTTAWA — The Conservatives on Thursday threatened to boycott a key intelligence oversight body, marking a sharp escalation in political pressure over the government’s withholding of documents that might explain why two scientists were fired from a high-security infectious disease lab earlier this year.
A high-ranking Chinese spy chief is rumoured to have defected to the United States and given Washington evidence on the Wuhan lab which prompted Joe Biden’s about-face on the coronavirus leak theory.
Dong Jingwei is believed to have fled to the US with his daughter Dong Yang on February 10, according to Spy Talk.
He made a name in China’s secret service, known as Guoanbu, and was head of counter-intelligence, or spy-catching, after being promoted to the post of vice minister in April 2018.
MORE … Oh, and the Bidens are in this intelligence dump as well. As Jen noted, “Dong also has provided DIA with copies of the contents of the hard drive on Hunter Biden’s laptop, showing the information the Chinese government has about Hunter’s pornography problem and about his (and Joe’s) business dealings with Chinese entities.”
KINGSTON — A statue of Sir John A. Macdonald has been removed from its pedestal in a downtown Kingston, Ont. park.
Dozens of people gathered in City Park to watch crews take down the statue of Canada’s first prime minister in his hometown. The statue came down around 9 a.m. Friday.
Kingston city council voted this week to remove the statue from the park and place it into storage, then put it up in Cataraqui Cemetery, where Macdonald is buried.
… Paul faced a move towards a non-confidence vote earlier this week when several members of the party’s federal council, its board of directors, sought to have her removed. The council didn’t move directly toward a vote of non-confidence, but said it would move ahead with the process to remove Paul on July 20, if she didn’t repudiate former advisor Noah Zatzman as well as issue a statement fully supporting the party’s caucus.
This statement by Noah Zatzman indicates a psychic break from reality and Lib-left politics; “We will not accept an apology after you realize what you’ve done. We will work to defeat you and bring in progressive climate champions who are antifa and pro-LGBT and pro indigenous sovereignty and Zionists!!!! Am Israel chai [The people of Israel live].”
Ontario reported 345 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday and one new death, the lowest daily increase in deaths found since mid-Oct. 2020.
The seven-day rolling average of new cases now stands at 411, down from 443 yesterday and 568 one week ago.
mRNA vaccine now preferred as second dose following AstraZeneca shot: NACI
OTTAWA — The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) is now recommending that people who received a first dose of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine receive a second dose of an mRNA vaccine, such as Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna.
NACI’s latest advice takes into consideration the most recent evidence on the rare instances of blood clots associated with the AstraZeneca shot and the increase of mRNA vaccine supply arriving on Canadian soil.
Victoria’s Secret is going woke.
No, not in the most obvious sense. What it’s doing is scrapping its long-built brand of sexy underwear on super-thin supermodels — and exchanging it for underwear displayed on fat models, transgender models, lesbian models, tattooed models, people whose taste and presentation in “sexy” is not quite the same as it was in the past, expecting the public to buy it, like it or not. They’re going virtuous, they’re going inclusive…
White progressives can never be woke enough.
In a guest essay for the New York Times earlier this month, actor Tom Hanks apologized for his contribution as a filmmaker to erasing black history from American consciousness. Referencing the Tulsa race massacre of 1921, he wrote, “History was mostly written by white people about white people like me, while the history of Black people — including the horrors of Tulsa — was too often left out. Until relatively recently, the entertainment industry, which helps shape what is history and what is forgotten, did the same. That includes projects of mine.”
All that is on offer to the young is a lifetime in rental accommodation
According to the US house journal for Big Finance, the reason today’s young people remain in rental accommodation long past the point when previous generations had bought their own home, is because they don’t want to be tied down.
The generation that’s postponing or giving up on family formation and kids because of financial insecurity actually loves its fluid, flexible, move-at-the-drop-of-a-hat lifestyle.
Show me a ‘woke’ corporation and I’ll show you a corporation that almost certainly has been up to some really dodgy stuff in its time. That’s certainly been borne out by the whole GB News boycott row, which exploded online yesterday.
Campaign group Stop Funding Hate has been running around Twitter trying to get companies to pull their adverts from the new anti-woke news channel, which only launched on Sunday. SFH, you’ll remember, is an authoritarian outfit that tries to deprive media outlets it happens to disagree with of revenue by piling pressure on advertisers.
Iranian political prisoners who were interrogated, tortured and sentenced to die by Ebrahim Raisi have told of their horrifying experiences as Iran prepares to make him the country’s next president.
Farideh Goudarzi, who was jailed for being part of a banned political group, told MailOnline how Raisi watched guards drop her baby on the floor as part of one brutal interrogation – after she was tortured while pregnant and forced to give birth in jail.
Meanwhile Mahmoud Royaee, another political prisoner interrogated by Raisi during the execution of up to 30,000 opposition activists in a 1988 purge, said Raisi once handed down a death sentence to an inmate who was in the midst of an epileptic fit.
For over a year, the American establishment and media have ostracized anyone who dared to connect the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Then, suddenly and without apologies for their past demagoguery, “journalists” and “experts” conceded that the Wuhan lab may well have been the most likely genesis.
Why the abrupt change?
‘Extremism’ is a meaningless word weaponized by politicians against their enemies.
The Biden administration revealed on Tuesday that guys who can’t get laid may be terrorist threats due to “involuntary celibate–violent extremism.” That revelation is part of a new crackdown that identifies legions of potential “domestic terrorists” that the feds can castigate and investigate. But there is no reason to expect Biden administration anti-terrorism and anti-extremism efforts to be less of a farce and menace than similar post-9/11 campaigns.
… After two hours of speeches and prayers at the vigil for the Muslim family that was killed, Imam Munir El-Kassem of London’s Islamic Centre of Southwest Ontario was invited to the stage to give closing remarks, in front of PM Justin Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh and other elected officials and went on to attack the JEWS.
Green party leader Annamie Paul’s press conference Wednesday afternoon can be summed up in two words: shots fired. Paul minced no words as she eviscerated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for his fake, self-serving brand of feminism.
Green Party leader accuses Freeland of being Trudeau’s ‘female shield’
‘I am not a token:’ Freeland fires back at Paul’s accusation she is Trudeau’s ‘female shield’
“I’m a proud feminist who serves in a feminist government with a feminist Prime Minister.”
Following the criminal indictment of a fellow officer, the entire Portland Police Rapid Response Team made the unanimous decision to resign, according to police sources via Portland news outlet KXL.
Cory Budworth, 40, is the first officer in the county to be prosecuted for using force during a violent protest.
