Kelly McParland: Time to grow some backbone Canadians

One of Toronto’s local TV stations recently ran a segment on an elderly woman who was accidentally given the wrong address for her COVID jab. Her daughter drove her to the designated spot, which was deserted. Turned out the vaccinations were being done elsewhere.

 

Shocka! Canadians far more wary of AstraZeneca than other COVID-19 vaccines: Poll

Ontario reports 2,336 new Covid Cases … and science says you’re already dead men walking so start acting it, have some AstraZeneca!

Ontario reports 2,336 new Covid Cases … and science says you’re already dead men walking so start acting it, have some AstraZeneca!

Ontario reported 2,336 additional cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday along with 14 more deaths, as hospitalizations climbed to their highest point in nearly two months.

There were almost 1,100 people in hospital on Monday night due to coronavirus infection, the highest count since Feb. 4.

Ontario reported nearly 7,500 cases of COVID-19 over the past three days, including 2,094 on Monday.


New data shows COVID-19 pandemic now ‘completely out of control’ in Ontario, key scientific adviser says

A new briefing note from a panel of science experts advising the Ontario government on COVID-19 shows a province at a tipping point.

Variants that are more deadly are circulating widely, new daily infections have reached the same number at the height of the second wave, and the number of people hospitalized is now more than 20 per cent higher than at the start of the last province-wide lockdown, states an analysis from Ontario’s COVID-19 science advisory table published on Monday night.

“Right now in Ontario, the pandemic is completely out of control,” Dr. Peter Juni, the table’s scientific director and a professor of medicine and epidemiology with the University of Toronto, said in an interview prior to the briefing note’s publication.

Don Martin: After that devastating auditor general’s report, why does Tam still have a job?

OTTAWA — The unwritten conclusion of that scathing auditor general’s report into how the Public Health Agency botched early pandemic detection is obvious: Replace Dr. Theresa Tam.

That might sound harsh for the high-profile face who has been calmly cajoling Canadians to stay home, wash their hands and, after her change of mind last April, wear a face mask in public.

But there’s no sugar-coating blame for the abysmally slow early detection and erroneous risk assessment of COVID-19 in Canada, as extensively documented in a report last week by the auditor general.

She may as well be working for China for all the “good” she’s done.

‘Tinderbox’: Riot redux feared as Antifa looms over trial in George Floyd death

‘Tinderbox’: Riot redux feared as Antifa looms over trial in George Floyd death

Anyone who thought that Antifa would exit stage left after President Donald Trump was defeated can think again.

The black-clad anti-fascist agitators have hardly missed a beat since President Biden was elected, continuing to smash windows, chuck projectiles and set fires in Portland, Oregon, while raising law-enforcement fears of a riot redux pegged to the Derek Chauvin trial in Minneapolis.

“The Antifa protests last year were not anti-Trump protests, they were anti-government protests,” said Betsy Brantner Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association. “What they want is to destroy and dismantle the government, and they’ve been pretty successful in Portland. I think they’d like to see that success across the nation.”

They’re going to riot win or lose.

The Commonalities Between the Rise of the Nazis and the Tactics of the American Left Cannot be Ignored

The Commonalities Between the Rise of the Nazis and the Tactics of the American Left Cannot be Ignored

I recently wrote a column wherein I accused the American Left and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Democrat party, of using Fascist or Nazi tactics in their determination to permanently transform the nation into a one-party hybrid socialist state by exploiting nonexistent “systemic racism” and baseless fears of “white supremacy.”  This characterization did not set well with the gullible and self-righteous Democrat voters I know or those who contacted me.  They, rather vociferously, claimed that the utilization of Nazi tactics only applies to the American right and that they, the left, are only motivated by caring for the people.

There is no ‘rape culture’ in schools

 

Education’s ‘#MeToo moment’ is not a scandal – it’s a moral panic over teenage sex.

Schools may have barely reopened but already many are embroiled in scandal. Stories exposing and condemning the ‘rape culture’ apparently rampant in Britain’s private schools have been gathering pace. This is the education sector’s #MeToo moment, a long overdue reckoning, we are told – a chance to confront the sexism, misogyny and abuse that supposedly stalk the nation’s more expensive classrooms.

The new Inquisition must never win: There is more at stake in the case of Batley Grammar than the fate of one teacher

Picture the scene: an idyllic summer landscape populated by those much-loved icons of goodwill, the Care Bears. These instantly recognisable figures, fluffy and colourful and surrounded by butterflies and tiny floating hearts, are indulging in a rare bout of mischief.

ISIS Accuses Woke Pope of Trying to Start a Crusade

They can relax. That’s absolutely the last thing on the Pontiff’s mind.

ChurchMilitant.com reported the improbable news on Tuesday: in an article in its weekly publication Al-Naba, the Islamic State (ISIS) claimed that Pope Francis’ recent trip to Iraq heralded a new “Crusade” to “remove the shariah of Allah from this land and to establish polytheistic religion in its place,” and that the Pope marked the beginning of this “Crusade” by “lifting his profane cross over the ruins of Mosul.” The woke Pope, with his fond daydreams about Islam being a religion of peace and tolerance, has once again run into the law of unintended consequences, and caused more trouble than he solved.

Swiss banker to Venezuelan kleptocrats becomes star witness

MIAMI (AP) — Matthias Krull pulls up his pant leg and slides a gardening shear on the ankle monitor that for two years has been a constant reminder of his crimes.

…Krull’s troubles stem from his time as a banker in Venezuela, a nation that has been plagued by epic corruption in two decades of socialist rule, first under the populist President Hugo Chávez, then his handpicked successor, Nicolás Maduro. During that time, Krull, who worked for the Julius Baer Group, played a singular role as the go-to private banker for the so-called Bolichicos — the privileged offspring of Venezuela’s Bolivarian revolution — as they looked to shuttle their overnight fortunes offshore. Among his would-be clients: Maduro’s stepsons.

Rich and Entitled Allies Don’t Need US Support

Why should we protect stable allies who won’t protect themselves?

A major emphasis of President Joe Biden’s anti-China strategy is building a coalition with allied states. The idea makes sense, in theory, anyway. Indeed, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tried to do the same.

They pressed for unity on decoupling economically, quarantining technology, promoting human rights, assigning COVID-19 culpability, and cooperating militarily. The results were disappointing at best.

China generated over half world’s coal-fired power in 2020: study

SHANGHAI (Reuters) – China generated 53% of the world’s total coal-fired power in 2020, nine percentage points more that five years earlier, despite climate pledges and the building of hundreds of renewable energy plants, a global data study showed on Monday.

… China’s coal-fired generation rose by 1.7% or 77 terawatt-hours, enough to bring its share of global coal power to 53%, up from 44% in 2015, the report showed.

China has promised to reduce its dependence on coal and bring emissions of climate-warming greenhouse gas to a peak before 2030 and become “carbon neutral” by 2060.

China promised? Only idiots like Justin or Biden could believe that crap.
