GOLDSTEIN: School petition on COVID-19 condemned as racist actually prophetic
With Canadian governments now scrambling to contain the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, a petition signed by thousands of parents in York Region last January that was condemned as racist at the time, now sounds prophetic.
Attacked by politicians, public health officials and media pundits for promoting fear and hysteria, it begs two questions…
Terence Corcoran: The ugly left-wing media smear storm of Alberta’s anti-energy inquiry
“Through 220 pages of deeply researched and referenced analysis, Nemeth delivers a comprehensive exposé on the inner workings of what she describes as the radical transnational progressive movement to reshape the world economy and impose a Great Transformation. The objective, concludes Nemeth, is to impose “a new energy economy that will halt fossil fuel use and development, initially in the Western world, in order to create a new global low-carbon, net-zero civilization. The first major petroleum industry target being used to accelerate this global transition is the Alberta oilsands.”
The numbers are in: Canada’s COVID-fighting efforts are among world’s worst
The first step is admitting you have a problem. So, let’s do that: Canada is doing a terrible job fighting COVID. How terrible? The Lowy Institute, one of Australia’s most-respected think tanks, is tracking pandemic metrics to gauge the performance of 98 countries as they respond to this global crisis. Canada ranks 61st. We are behind El Salvador, Belarus and Myanmar.
And the Lowy rankings do not yet take into account vaccination rates. Among nations which have access to the vaccine, and keeping in mind we were one of the first nations to get that access, we rank 35th with a per capita rate one fifth the United States’. It gets worse. Today it was revealed that even that low number is inflated because the Ford government in Ontario has been incompetently double-counting vaccinations.

Biden’s ‘racial justice’ agenda: Judge everyone by the color of their skin
On Tuesday, six days into Joe Biden’s administration, it became clear why Susan Rice, hitherto a foreign-policy specialist, was named director of the Domestic Policy Council. Rice — unconfirmable for a Cabinet post after her unembarrassed Sunday-show lying about the Benghazi terrorist attack — ventured into the White House press room to preview Biden’s “equity” initiative.
Iran Regime’s Agents and Illegal Activities in the US
The US is apparently not immune from the Iranian regime’s operatives; unfortunately, the significance of this issue has long been downplayed.
Last week, Kaveh Lotfolah Afrasiabi, also known as Lotfolah Kaveh Afrasiabi, was arrested at his home in Watertown, Massachusetts. According to the U.S. Justice Department, Afrasiabi is charged with “acting and conspiring to act as an unregistered agent of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)”.
What is alarming is that Afrasiabi, who has been in the US for almost 35 years, was working for the Iranian regime and getting paid for nearly 13 years without being detected.
PETA’s New Campaign to Combat ‘Speciesist’ Language Is Hilarious
The war on words has been taken to a new level of absurdity, as the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has launched a new campaign to combat “speciesist” slurs in the hopes of urging dictionaries to remove the terms.

California’s New Ethnic Studies Curriculum Ignores Or Maligns Jews, Trashes Capitalism
Public schools in California are already the ethnically diverse in the United States, but in 2016, then Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) signed a law that mandated schools in the Golden State create a new ethnic studies program.
The first draft of the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum was released years later, and contains language and omissions that have startled some in the education sphere.
Woke teacher behind renaming 44 San Francisco schools slammed as it emerges he ‘ridiculed’ idea of debating scholars and that research used to denounce famous American figures came from WIKIPEDIA
Acclaimed historians are hitting out at a chairman in charge of renaming San Francisco schools after he refused to consult them during the decision-making process.
Earlier this week, the San Francisco Board of Education voted 6-1 to strip 44 public schools of their current monikers because they honor ‘racist’ figures from American history.
Schools named after politicians including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln are now set to be rebranded in the coming months.
Saudi state companies sue ex-spy chief in Canada over alleged $3bn fraud
Saudi state-owned companies have sued the country’s former intelligence chief in a Canadian court, alleging he stole billions of dollars, according to documents obtained by the news agency Agence France-Presse.
The 10 subsidiaries of Tahakom Investment Co – which is owned by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund – said in the civil suit filed in Ontario superior court that Saad Aljabri committed a “massive fraud” totalling at least US$3.47bn.
Aljabri, exiled in Canada, was a top aide to Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, who was deposed as heir to the throne by Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a 2017 palace coup.
China gene firm providing worldwide COVID tests worked with Chinese military – may be harvesting American’s DNA
SYDNEY (Reuters) – BGI Group, the world’s largest genomics company, has worked with China’s military on research that ranges from mass testing for respiratory pathogens to brain science, a Reuters review of research, patent filings and other documents has found.
…But top U.S. security officials have warned American labs against using Chinese tests because of concern China was seeking to gather foreign genetic data for its own research. BGI has denied that.
…Chinese technology companies have come under increasing scrutiny by the United States and were subject to mounting restrictions under the administration of Donald Trump. In November, the Department of Commerce proposed a rule to add gene editing software to the U.S. export control list, saying it could be used to create biological weapons. Officials in the new administration of President Joe Biden have signalled a continued tough approach to what they see as a rising threat from Beijing.
So long as President 10% gets his cut everything is AOK!
