Lockdowns are NOT ‘quietly improving cities,’ World Economic Forum concedes, deleting its much-ridiculed tweet

See? Lockdowns are Goo goo Gulag for you!

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has taken down its tweet that claimed lockdowns have been “quietly improving cities,” and admitted that is not the case. But the backdown didn’t spare the globalist titan from a new wave of mockery.

The WEF’s controversial message turned out to be quite short-lived, surviving less than a day on its feed under a barrage of outraged comments. The tweet was accompanied by a video, showing deserted streets and silent factories, that noted a record drop in carbon emissions. It also linked to an article claiming that silent cities contributed to better detection of minor earthquakes.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s carbon taxes — big costs and broken promises

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon pricing regime has become an expensive, confusing, multi-headed Hydra in which claims made by his government are not accurate and promises have been broken.

Among these inaccuracies and broken promises are the government’s claim the carbon tax is revenue neutral in the four provinces where it applies, that 80% of households are financially better off because of rebates and that the tax, currently at $30 per tonne of industrial greenhouse gas emissions, would be frozen at $50 per tonne in 2022.

Sons of bureaucrat fired after COVID-19 fraud are suing the Ford government for $1M, alleging they’re the real victims!

I bet his defence will be it was racist for the government to leave all that money laying around.

Sons of bureaucrat fired after COVID-19 fraud are suing the Ford government for $1M, alleging ‘indifference’ to theft

Two sons of the Ontario bureaucrat fired after the alleged theft of $11 million in COVID-19 relief funds are each suing Premier Doug Ford’s government for $1 million for “psychological” damages, the Star has learned.

Chinmaya Madan, 27, and Ujjawal Madan, 24, served the province with counter claims Friday charging the government’s “allegation of conspiracy” against them is “preposterous” and “has been advanced recklessly and maliciously.”

The brothers allege they are “victim(s) of identity theft committed by (their) own father,” because hundreds of bank accounts were opened in their names without their knowledge.

They’re the real victims!

WE Charity was ‘duplicitous’ in its Kenya dealings, claims prominent donor Reed Cowan

A prominent donor to WE Charity has alleged that the charity was “duplicitous” in its relationships with donors and has failed to provide a proper accounting of its use of donor funds in Kenya.

Reed Cowan, a U.S. television journalist who estimates that he has mobilized millions of dollars for WE Charity, told a House of Commons committee that the charity had misled donors by promising sponsorship of the same Kenyan school to different groups without their knowledge.

It’s no wonder the Kielburgers and the Liberal Party embraced one another, they’re philosophical and ethical twins convinced they’re doing “The Lords Work.”

Ontario reports 1185 new Covid cases


Barrie latest city placed under lockdown as province invokes emergency brake in Simcoe-Muskoka and Thunder Bay health units

The Ontario government is invoking its so-called “emergency brake” and placing both the Simcoe-Muskoka District Health Unit and the Thunder Bay District Health Unit under the grey lockdown category in its tiered framework for COVID-19 restrictions.

The move means that the vast majority of non-essential businesses in both Simcoe-Muskoka and Thunder Bay will have to close as of 12:01 a.m. on Monday.

Social gatherings will also be prohibited, except among members of the same household.

By this standard Toronto will be quarantined forever.

Has America Lost Eurasia To China?

Has America Lost Eurasia To China?

Joe Biden received a cool reception from Europe this month at both the Group of 7 meeting and the Munich Security Conference. “America is back,” the new president declared, but no one on the Continent seemed to particularly care.

Biden’s efforts to reinvigorate the transatlantic alliance fell flat, especially when he talked about containing militant China. China may be a neo-totalitarian state committing genocide and other crimes against humanity while invading its neighbors with impunity, but in some quarters that does not seem to matter. What matters is that last year, China surpassed the U.S. to become the European Union’s largest merchandise trading partner.

France can’t cancel Napoleon

How will Emmanuel Macron mark the general’s difficult bicentenary?

Paris may have avenues, boulevards, bridges and a railway station named after their most famous military leader’s armies, battles and treaties. But nowhere will you find an Avenue or Place or Boulevard named after Napoleon Bonaparte himself — apart from a narrow Rue Bonaparte on the Left Bank.

In 21st century France, Bonaparte is everywhere. And nowhere.

‘Sign On And Take Part In Something Real’: Inside The Dark, Lucrative World Of Russian ‘Trash-Streaming’

MOSCOW — German Vasilyenko, an ex-porn actor and reality TV show contestant, was working a run-of-the-mill sales job in early 2020 when he quit for a career on YouTube.

The impetus was a series of messages he got after some tipsy revelry at a party hosted by a YouTuber who streamed the event live on the video-hosting platform.

Vasilyenko was used to guilt-ridden hangovers and regrets about the night before. But suddenly, he was being showered with praise.

Let’s get real: Shamima Begum is a traitor

The treatment of Ms Begum as a victim – of groomers, of racist Tories – is perverse.

So, the Shamima Begum Welcome Committee can stand down. Those commentators and activists who devoted a bizarre amount of energy to depicting Ms Begum as a victim – of Islamo-groomers, of evil Tories, of good ol’ British racism – can put away their confetti and balloons. She isn’t coming home. The Supreme Court has ruled that it was well within the government’s rights to rescind Begum’s citizenship and block her from returning to the UK. The identitarians will have to find a new victim to rally behind, hopefully not one who was complicit in slavery, murderous homophobia and violent religious supremacy this time.

Leaked Emails Confirm UN Gave Names of Dissidents to Communist China

Leaked Emails Confirm UN Gave Names of Dissidents to Communist China

Leaked emails prove that, contrary to United Nations denials, UN human-rights officials did in fact give the names of Chinese dissidents to the communist regime in Beijing before those activists were set to testify in Geneva against the Communist Chinese Party’s abuses.

In fact, it appears from the leaked documents that the practice of handing over names of Chinese dissidents to the dictatorship was viewed as a “usual practice” by all involved. The whistleblower told The Epoch Times that it continues to this day, despite UN denials.

Arizona professors develop VIRTUAL REALITY program to demonstrate ‘systemic racism’ & ‘microaggressions’

Five professors at the University of Arizona have launched a virtual reality project to show what it’s like to experience anti-black racism, providing yet another tool to help push academia’s social narratives.

Funded with a $50,000 grant from the state university, the researchers aim to create settings, such as department meetings and classrooms, where participants wearing virtual reality headsets can see what it’s like to be black – or at least what it’s like in the version of reality created by the authors.

5 Things You Need To Know About The Extremist ‘Equality Act’ House Democrats Just Passed

On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed the so-called Equality Act by a vote of 224 to 206. While Democrats have marketed this legislation as a simple civil rights law designed to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination, it is far from that.

The statutory language instead provides for an extreme remaking of all aspects of society, destroys the promise of equality for women, and threatens religious liberty and the privacy rights of all Americans, especially children. The proposed law also will upend state and federal protections of the unborn—yes, the Equality Act is about abortion too.
