Toronto will likely enter grey zone of province’s reopening framework next week, Tory says

Mayor John Tory says it is likely Toronto will enter the grey zone of the province’s reopening framework next week, a move which will allow many small businesses in the city to offer in-person shopping for the first time in almost three months.

“I think the likelihood of entering the grey zone is fairly high because that’s what the province wants to do is get everybody back into this framework,” he told CP24 on Monday. “But people should remember that the grey zone really doesn’t bring about a huge number of changes compared to what we are experiencing today and I think the most important thing is going to be that people continue to stay at home.”

Border agency reports spike of nearly 6,000 immigrant children crossing into US alone

Thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children are attempting to flee to the United States amid the coronavirus pandemic, propelled by devastating natural disasters, chronic violence, and severe economic hardship at home.

US Customs and Border Protection encountered 5,871 kids at the south-west border without a parent or legal guardian last month, the largest influx yet since the start of the public health crisis in early 2020.

That sudden spike is still relatively modest compared to huge figures from fiscal year 2019, when Border Patrol apprehended more than 76,000 unaccompanied children, a trend that reached its zenith that spring.

Maybe boycotts don’t work, but that doesn’t quite end the debate about the 2022 Olympics in China

Maybe boycotts don’t work, but that doesn’t quite end the debate about the 2022 Olympics in China

The debate about whether Canadian athletes should boycott the next winter Olympics, scheduled to take place in China in 2022, ultimately rests on a series of questions about the efficacy of such action, the morality of proceeding with the games and even who should get to decide whether or not to launch a boycott.

But if the Olympics do proceed with most of the world’s nations represented, the question might then become whether its grand stage could be used to air the political and humanitarian concerns that now encircle the games.

The boycott is the right approach, it will piss off Canada’s China class. The Olympics are just another elitist scam few would miss.

Dependent on foreign students, Canada universities risk revenues as vaccines lag

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canadian universities are facing a financial crunch amid the COVID-19 crisis, as a drop in foreign enrollment and shuttered campuses dent the bottom line and the country’s slow vaccine rollout weighs on the next school year.

Public universities have become increasingly dependent on foreign students, who pay far higher tuition than domestic students, to boost their profits. International enrollment jumped 45% over the last five years, advocacy group Universities Canada said, but it fell 2.1% this year amid coronavirus restrictions.

Lots of other reasons Canadian universities are financial sink holes. The education bubble will burst in Canada. Perhaps it should be allowed to.

Aysha Khanom, Associate Professional & Academic Advisor at Leeds Beckett University and founder of The Race Trust, has labelled political commentator Calvin Robinson a “house n*****” and labelled him “a mascot of white supremacy”.

Canada, dozens of allies, declare arbitrary detentions immoral amid Kovrig, Spavor

OTTAWA — Canada and has created a coalition with 57 other countries to support a new international declaration denouncing state-sponsored arbitrary detention of foreign nationals for political purposes.

The new declaration was born out of a year of behind-the-scenes international diplomacy, spearheaded by former foreign affairs minister Francois-Philippe Champagne.

Canada has sought global support to free Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, who are spending their 798th day in Chinese prisons today.

Yup this’ll have Xi reversing course.

Canada’s China Class At Work… Ottawa partners with Huawei to fund university research despite security concerns

Canada’s China Class At Work… Ottawa partners with Huawei to fund university research despite security concerns

The federal government is partnering with Huawei to sponsor leading-edge computer and electrical engineering research at Canadian universities, a move critics say threatens this country’s national security and economic interests.

The National Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), a federal agency, is collaborating with the Canadian arm of Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. to fund the studies. Top universities in the United States and Britain have shunned further research money from Huawei over intellectual-property and national-security concerns.

The federally funded council is putting up $4.8-million for research partnerships that include Huawei. The technology giant would not divulge its contribution but would only say it is “greater than $4.8-million.”

Canada’s military lacking thousands of troops as COVID-19 hits recruitment, training

Canada’s military lacking thousands of troops as COVID-19 hits recruitment, training

The Canadian Armed Forces is dealing with a shortfall of several thousand troops as COVID-19 has forced the military to curb the training of new recruits for most of the past year.

While the military says there has not been any immediate impact on its missions here and abroad as it manages the shortfall and training challenges, a spokesman acknowledged the potential for longer-term ramifications.

I suspect larger forces are at work. Is the thought of serving under a transvestite in the new armed forces appealing?

Health officials said they are taking this “urgent step” while community spread of the variant, known as B1351, is still low.

The proverbial monkey wrench in the re-opening plans.

‘Plenty of evidence’ Nancy Pelosi knew and did nothing about January 6 riots

Sky News host Paul Murray says Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not want to be called as a witness in the impeachment trial because there is a “substantial amount of evidence” that she was pre-warned about the January 6 riots.

“She did not want to be called as a witness because there is a substantial amount of evidence that she – as the presiding officer – was pre-warned of something might be happening on January 6,” Mr Murray said.

”There is plenty of evidence to suggest that she was not doubling down on security that day, and the former boss of the Capitol Police would have testified to that very point”.

Biden Opposes Religious Freedom at Home and Abroad

Biden Opposes Religious Freedom at Home and Abroad

He calls on his State Department to meddle in the moral and religious affairs of foreign countries.

In 2011, Hillary Clinton announced that the promotion of “LGBT rights” abroad formed “a priority of our foreign policy.” She scolded religiously conservative countries for regarding that agenda as a “Western phenomenon.” She instructed diplomats at the State Department to meddle in the moral and religious affairs of those countries. “In our embassies, our diplomats are raising concerns about specific cases and laws,” she said.

The Biden administration is picking up where Clinton left off.

Unspeakable Truths about Racial Inequality in America

Unspeakable Truths about Racial Inequality in America

“…Socially mediated behavioral issues lie at the root of today’s racial inequality problem. They are real and must be faced squarely if we are to grasp why racial disparities persist. This is a painful necessity. Activists on the Left of American politics claim that “white supremacy,” “implicit bias,” and old-fashioned “anti-black racism” are sufficient to account for black disadvantage. But this is a bluff that relies on “cancel culture” to be sustained. Those making such arguments are, in effect, daring you to disagree with them. They are threatening to “cancel” you if you do not accept their account: You must be a “racist”; you must believe something is intrinsically wrong with black people if you do not attribute pathological behavior among them to systemic injustice. You must think blacks are inferior, for how else could one explain the disparities? “Blaming the victim” is the offense they will convict you of, if you’re lucky.”

Long read worth your time.
