Ontario reports 1,371 new covid cases… Tam, Hajdu endorse Astra Zeneca jab so now you know to steer clear of it

Tam, Hajdu confident in Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine

OTTAWA — Canada’s top doctor and federal health minister say they see no reason to halt the use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine in Canada, as other countries have done citing blood clots following inoculations.

Speaking to Evan Solomon, host of CTV News Channel’s Power Play, on Thursday, Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam said that because Canada hasn’t been supplied with the same batch of AstraZeneca vaccines as the several European countries who have suspended its use, there’s no need to follow suit.

If they’re endorsing it I’m staying away.

‘We’re going to lose fast’: U.S. Air Force held a war game that started with a Chinese biological attack

Last fall, the U.S. Air Force simulated a conflict set more than a decade in the future that began with a Chinese biological-weapon attack that swept through U.S. bases and warships in the Indo-Pacific region. Then a major Chinese military exercise was used as cover for the deployment of a massive invasion force. The simulation culminated with Chinese missile strikes raining down on U.S. bases and warships in the region, and a lightning air and amphibious assault on the island of Taiwan.

Why Macron had to take on Islamism – Islamo-gauchisme

Why Macron had to take on Islamism – Islamo-gauchisme

The French president is now caught between Le Pen and Le Monde

In France it has become difficult to have a rational debate about anything to do with Islam or Islamism. The opposing sides accuse one another of hysteria. Often, not always, they have a point. But in recent days, France — chattering, media-political France at any rate — has exploded into a blazing quarrel about a hyphenated word: Islamo-gauchisme or “Islamo-leftism”. What is it? Does it really exist? Is it, as some people say, a threat to the French way of life?

The term was invented 19 years ago by a French academic to describe an alliance between radical Islam and the extreme Left. The word has since been hijacked by the French Right – both the far right and more traditional conservatives — to mock attempts to combat racism or discrimination against France’s 5,000,000 Muslims.

George Floyd memorial site reportedly now an anti-cop autonomous zone

Left-wing militants have reportedly turned a memorial site for George Floyd in Minneapolis into a “volatile” autonomous zone — where police and even other protesters aren’t welcome.

The memorial, called George Floyd Square, popped up in the days after the 46-year-old’s police-involved death on May 25 — the catalyst for a global movement against police brutality and racial inequality.

Former ADL Director Discovers Virulent Islamic Anti-Semitism

Abe Foxman finds himself at odds with his former support of Democratic orthodoxy over Islam and Israel.

President Donald “Trump is a demagogue and his presidency threatens American democracy,” former Anti-Defamation League (ADL) director Abraham Foxman wrote on September 11, 2020,  in opposition to Trump’s reelection. Yet review of Foxman’s 2003 bookNever Again: The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism, actually indicates that Jews such as him and others should have voted for Trump over Vice President Joe Biden.

The ADL is as big a sham as the SPLC. Democrat party smear machines.

Oprah should have asked Harry and ‘remarkably ill-informed’ Meghan about the prince’s ‘own past behaviour and remarks’ on race

Oprah should have asked Harry and ‘remarkably ill-informed’ Meghan about the prince’s ‘own past behaviour and remarks’ on race

Trevor Phillips says that Oprah should have asked Harry and Meghan about the prince’s own past behaviour that could be considered racially insensitive.

The Monarchy has been plunged into crisis following the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes’ accusation of racism – a claim that Harry’s brother Prince William has today strongly denied.

Buckingham Palace is struggling to quiet criticism after Harry and Meghan alleged that the duchess was the victim of racism and callous treatment during her time as a working member of the royal family.

Japan marks 10 years since triple disaster killed 18,500 people

Japan has observed a moment’s silence to mark the 10th anniversary of an earthquake and tsunami that killed more than 18,000 people and triggered a nuclear meltdown in Fukushima.

At 2:46 pm, the moment Japan’s north-east coast was struck by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake on 11 March 2011, people attending private and public service across the affected region bowed and fell silent, some clasping their hands in prayer.

In Tokyo, the prime minister, Yoshihide Suga, and the emperor, Naruhito, offered their condolences at a socially distanced ceremony at the national theatre.

“I never even knew I was supposed to hate white men before doing my master’s degree at Ryerson’s School of Journalism”

“I never even knew I was supposed to hate white men before doing my master’s degree at Ryerson’s School of Journalism”

‘Traumatized’ student snowflakes behind Ryerson controversy will never make it as journalists

I never even knew I was supposed to hate white men before doing my master’s degree at Ryerson’s School of Journalism, in 2012. But I learned quickly that they were to be scorned and derided for … well, I’m still not sure exactly what. Existing? Stealing all the good journalism jobs? Never mind that my class had exactly two white males, and 26 females.

I bet they all end up working for the CBC or the Star.

‘We now have two pandemics’: Variant COVID-19 cases soar in Ontario

‘We now have two pandemics’: Variant COVID-19 cases soar in Ontario

Faster-spreading and potentially deadlier variants of the coronavirus are now responsible for around 40 per cent of new cases in Ontario, a figure that experts say should be a warning to the entire country about the threat of a third wave that could outpace vaccinations.

Ontario’s COVID-19 science advisory table is publishing a brief about the variants on Thursday, along with a new dashboard separating traditional cases from those screening positive for a mutation that signals one of three variants of concern.

The Miseducation of America’s Elites: Affluent parents, terrified of running afoul of the new orthodoxy in their children’s private schools, organize in secret.

The dissidents use pseudonyms and turn off their videos when they meet for clandestine Zoom calls. They are usually coordinating soccer practices and carpools, but now they come together to strategize. They say that they could face profound repercussions if anyone knew they were talking.

But the situation of late has become too egregious for emails or complaining on conference calls. So one recent weekend, on a leafy street in West Los Angeles, they gathered in person and invited me to join.

Liberals’ New Hate Speech Bill Could Lead to Revival of Controversial Law

Your Enemy – Steven Guilbeault

Canada’s new hate speech legislation soon to be tabled by the federal government may include a new statutory definition of hate and could revive a controversial law previously repealed for infringing on rights.

Repealed in 2013, Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act had made it an act of discrimination to communicate anything online or by telephone that was “likely to expose” a person to hatred or contempt, as long as they were “identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.”

The controversial law was widely criticized for being overly broad with weak safeguards to protect speech rights.
