Canada may be a G7 country, and we may be a top 10 economy in the world, but when it comes to vaccinating our population, we’re 23rd and falling.
Just two weeks ago we were 12th in the world.

Tackling Big Tech: Are Canadians going to allow ‘Big Tech’ to determine our future?
Canada is on the edge of a precipice. We have the opportunity to stand up for ourselves on the global stage and protect our virtual rights or we can allow “Big Tech” to determine our future. In Australia, Google and Facebook are fighting the government’s attempts to level the playing field for their own news media outlets and the battle is very likely coming to Canada next as we debate new mandatory fees for these corporations.
Tough to pick a side here. Postmedia are avid recipients of Trudeau’s media welfare plan but Geez I hate the Tech Oligopoly.
Biden brood already cashing in on Joe’s presidency
They can’t quit the grift. No sooner had Joe Biden won the White House than his family went back to trying to make a buck off his name.
The latest sordid example involves one of Joe’s younger brothers, Frank Biden, appearing in a Florida law firm’s ad — on Inauguration Day no less. The ad used the president’s name to draw attention to the Berman Law Group’s class-action suit against sugar cane growers.
Anti-Kremlin protests break out across Russia
Russian police have detained over 250 anti-Putin protesters today as activists took to the streets and a frozen ocean demanding the release of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.
The authorities mounted a massive effort to stem the tide of demonstrations after tens of thousands of people rallied across the country the previous weekend in the largest and most widespread show of discontent the country has seen in years.
The first protests took place in the East, including the port city of Vladivostok where several dozen protesters gathered in the city’s central square despite police closing it off ahead of the rally.
Foreign troops to stay in Afghanistan beyond May deadline – NATO sources
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – International troops plan to stay in Afghanistan beyond the May deadline envisaged by the insurgent Taliban’s deal with the United States, four senior NATO officials said, a move that could escalate tensions with the Taliban demanding full withdrawal.
“There will be no full withdrawal by allies by April-end,” one of the officials told Reuters.
“Conditions have not been met,” he said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. “And with the new U.S. administration, there will be tweaks in the policy, the sense of hasty withdrawal which was prevalent will be addressed and we could see a much more calculated exit strategy.”
Did anyone vote to stay in Afghanistan? Why are NATO sources leaking Biden policy?

Lights still on in federal buildings in National Capital Region even as civil servants work from home
The lights remain on at some federal government buildings in Canada’s capital region, even though most civil servants have been working at home for nearly a year to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Responding to photographs taken by CBC News showing lit-up office towers before dawn, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) said that while occupancy levels are currently reduced, federal buildings remain operational.
“As part of its commitment to energy savings, Public Services and Procurement Canada turns off non-essential lighting where possible during non-working hours,” reads a statement from the department, which runs and maintains federal buildings.
A Hate Crime Against The Liberal Party!
Headstone of former Canadian prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King defaced in Toronto
The granite headstone at the grave of former Canadian prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King in Toronto has been defaced.
Toronto police are investigating and said the offence is considered to be mischief over $5,000. No one has yet been arrested for the vandalism that was first discovered on Jan. 3 at Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
Some crimes are best left unsolved.
The witch-hunting of Boyz magazine
We are being punished by the ‘progressive’ establishment merely for debating trans issues.
We should be publishing Boyz this week. It was going to be our National HIV Testing Week issue as this year’s campaign starts on Monday (1 February). Each year we have devoted an edition of Boyz, the gay men’s lifestyle and health magazine, to this important campaign, funded by the government through Public Health England, and commissioned annually since 2012 from the Terrence Higgins Trust (THT).
They eat their own.
Cancel Culture’s Crocodile May Eat You Last but It WILL Eat You
Okay, folks, it’s confession time: I have never been more concerned about the future of this country as I am today. But it’s not because I fear China is about to nuke us, or that Anthony Fauci will soon declare Covid is actually incurable (he’ll reverse himself the next day).
Campus Racial Thought-Crimes
The consequences of perpetuating minority student victimhood.
As the Maoist-like purges on university campuses continue, yet another faculty member has suffered the consequences of speaking words that may not be spoken and having views that are forbidden at universities where woke students, pretending to be supremely tolerant, indict others with their actual intolerance and join with faculty and administrators in suppressing views that they will not and cannot abide.
When beauty norms meet sucking up to power
There’s nothing illegal or unethical about what IMG Models did. However, the New York-based modeling agency that has some of the biggest names on its roster suddenly discovered a hidden Cinderella in our midsts: Ella Emhoff, who is Kamala Harris’s 22-year-old stepdaughter. The problem with this amazing discovery is that Emhoff is entirely ordinary and seems somewhat scary. It’s patently clear that IMG is capitalizing on her stepmother’s position and that’s just sleazy.
Silencing dissent: How social media giants advance fake science and drive maximum COVID-19 hysteria
Twitter threw me in the gulag for speaking out against baseless COVID-19 fear mongering. My sin, according to their COVID-19 monitoring team (which is an army of “fact checkers” who follow loose guidelines set forth by the World Health Organization, a massively corrupt “global health organization” that is largely beholden to the Chinese government): expressing contempt for an article about COVID-19 variants.
Hiding Hunter Biden laying low in LA, starting art career with shady dealer
As federal prosecutors continue their criminal probes into Hunter Biden’s taxes and international business dealings, the President’s son — shuttling between Washington DC and a sprawling Hollywood Hills home — is lying low, consulting with lawyers and focusing on his new career in art.
Biden, who turns 51 next week, is prepping a solo show with Soho art dealer Georges Berges, who currently represents Sylvester Stallone. Berges was once arrested for “terrorist threats” and assault with a deadly weapon in California and has strong ties to China.
The worth of the ‘word as a Biden’
The public-facing members of the Biden family seem to have serious credibility issues
What’s the worth of the ‘word as a Biden’?
President Joe Biden seems sure that his family name is as good as gold. He repeatedly tells the American people that they should trust him because, well, he’s a Biden!
‘I give you my word as a Biden: When I’m president, I will lead with science, listen to the experts and heed their advice, and always tell you the truth,’ Biden tweeted back in March 2020.
Short answer: Zero
Justin Trudeau applauds Justin Trudeau’s handling of the Rideau Hall mess
You just don’t get anything done in this town without bold reformers. Justin Trudeau agrees. Why, just take that mess at Rideau Hall, with Julie Payette and the claims of workplace harassment and all that. “When those reports came out in the summer, I knew right away that we needed to call on an independent professional,” the Prime Minister told the Toronto Star on Thursday.
