According to the market research firm Insights West, about half of Canadians are planning to break COVID rules during their province’s spring break.
Since the pandemic began to spread in Canada after last year’s spring break, particularly in Quebec, the rule-breaking plans are concerning.
Beijing shows no intention of honoring its deal with the Catholic Church
Last week, it emerged that the Chinese government has issued new rules for religious ministers in the country. Amid the regulations was a new official process for the appointment of Catholic bishops in the country, one which makes no reference to the Vatican or the deal the Catholic Church and China signed in 2018.
The rules are the latest in a series of pointed humiliations inflicted on the Vatican since it handed over control of the country’s Catholics to the Communist party two years ago.
What has happened to Caledonia over the last 15 years to the day since, on Feb. 28, 2006, its citizens became the innocent and unwitting victims of an Indigenous land claim protest that later turned violent, should be a national disgrace.
It isn’t, because few people know about it.
Rioters in Portland late Saturday smashed windows, vandalized buildings, and harassed diners.
Video footage showed a group clad in black, dressed in the style favored by the far-left Antifa network marching down the street, stopping to spray paint structures, break windows, and shout at diners.
It’s not a riot till a Starbucks gets trashed.

Sainted Irish Mother is being transferred to a new hospital better equipped to treat her for Covid which has worsened overnight.
She was in a physio/rehab facility where she caught the China flu to begin with but they are not suited to treating her worsened condition.
Thankfully she is not being transferred to St. Joe’s that shithole of substandard care and malicious staff where this whole mess started for her before Christmas.
They broke her hearing aids at a replacement cost of 2900.00 bucks to us and kept her immobilized during a Covid lockdown which exasperated a knee condition leaving her unable to walk even with the aid of a Z- Frame, hence her stint at Runnymede to recover use of the knee. I should have pulled her from there but instead allowed the Doctor to convince me of the program’s benefit.
Sarcasticat will be handling most of the blogging today. I am waiting for word on mom but doubt I will be allowed to see her.
Once she’s landed I hope to be apprised of her condition and update the family.
Please keep Mum in your thoughts and prayers.
IS bride Shamima Begum is “very angry, upset and crying” after being refused permission to return to the UK to fight a decision to strip her of British citizenship.
English essayist Samuel Johnson wrote that “when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.” I thought of Johnson’s words in preparing to appear before a House committee exploring limitations on free speech, including a campaign by some Democratic members and activists to remove networks like Fox News from cable carriers. As someone who just came over to Fox News as a legal analyst from CBS and the BBC, the hearing concentrated my mind “wonderfully” on the future of free speech and the free press.
Springfield, Massachusetts is one of the toughest cities in the United States, but it was not always that way. Basketball was invented in a gym in Springfield in 1891. The first gasoline-powered engine was built there, as were Indian Motorcycles.
As manufacturing died, so did Springfield, which devolved into a sadly familiar kind of American landscape — drugs, violence, waves of impoverished immigrants. On Wednesday, a man was shot to death on Main Street.
Raise your hand if you think Superman needs to be rebooted as an super-powered African American Black Lives Matter activist who has devoted his life to eyeball-lasering white supremacy and freeze-breathing all over those who would stand in the way of reparations. Anybody? Nobody?
Theodore Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, might be one of the most read authors in the English (or, more accurately, the sort-of English) language. Since The Cat in the Hat was published in 1957, generations of American children have sounded out simple words while reading about the eponymous cat and the havoc he wreaked with Thing One and Thing Two on a boring, rainy day. However, the wokerati have now come for Geisel, claiming that his weird, mostly zoomorphic creations are, in fact, racist.
Mark Carney is Davos Man personified — one of those globetrotting super-leaders untroubled by the messy business of actually getting elected (or, at least, not anymore). Other examples of the caste include Bill Gates, Christine Lagarde, John Kerry and David Miliband.
These folk don’t have to signal their virtue; it is simply assumed as part of that aura of liberal respectability at that surrounds them at all times.
We should support the Syrian Democratic Forces to bring jihadists to justice.
A dark cloud hangs over the Al Roj camp where Shamima Begum is being held in north-eastern Syria. She is said to be ‘angry and upset’ at the decision of the Supreme Court not to allow her to return to the UK to contest the loss of her citizenship. This bleak picture stands in stark contrast to the feelings of the vast majority of the British public, who will be raising a toast to the Supreme Court and thanking it for putting their interests ahead of an ISIS terrorist.
NEW YORK—A second former aide has come forward with sexual harassment allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who responded with a statement Saturday saying he never made advances toward her and never intended to be inappropriate.
Charlotte Bennett, a health policy adviser in the Democratic governor’s administration until November, told The New York Times that Cuomo asked her inappropriate questions about her sex life, including whether she had ever had sex with older men.
Twitter revealed that it is preparing a new “Safety mode” to protect users from unwanted or offensive commentary, whatever that means.
Twitter gave the internet a hilarious but also grim glimpse into the platform’s future by revealing its upcoming “Safety mode.” The new function was previewed at the 2021 Analyst Day presentation with a few screenshots. Safety mode will “[a]utomatically block accounts that appear to break the Twitter Rules, and mute accounts that might be using insults, name-calling, strong language, or hateful remarks,” the presentation revealed in an image of the application in use on a cell phone.
Twitter is dying by a thousand self inflicted cuts.
A program at Boston Public Schools (BPS) for high-performing 4th, 5th, and 6th graders will be suspended for a year while administrators figure out how to reduce the number of whites and Asians in the selective program.
