OLIVER: Trudeau’s undermining of democratic traditions advances a socialist agenda

OLIVER: Trudeau’s undermining of democratic traditions advances a socialist agenda

I would not lump Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with strongmen like Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, Viktor Orban of Hungary or Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey. They exploited the urgent need for government assistance caused by the pandemic to entrench executive power at the expense of personal freedom.

Trudeau’s objectives aren’t that malign and Canadian democracy would not permit an unconstitutional power grab. However, he did his best to avoid parliamentary accountability to an extent almost unprecedented in Canadian history. That it was accompanied by earnest appeals to progressive ideals and the defence of necessity does not detract from how seriously he breached the norms of responsible government and the Westminster tradition, dating back to the first Canadian provinces in 1848.

It’s not just her name, Hilaria Baldwin’s entire life is a fake

How you say . . . scam artist?

Hilaria Baldwin, the epically thirsty, self-identified Spanish wife of actor Alec, has been outed as a basic white woman from Massachusetts, real name Hillary Hayward-Thomas.

Escandalo!

The cringiest piece of evidence is a clip from the “Today” show, in which Hilaria, speaking in a Spanish accent while cosplaying as some kind of culinary expert, says, “We have very few ingredients. We have tomatoes, we have, um, how you say in Eng — cucumbers.”

When it comes to pandemics, COVID-19 might not be ‘the big one’: WHO

TORONTO — Experts say that as bad as the novel coronavirus pandemic has been, worse outbreaks may be coming.

At the final World Health Organization (WHO) press conference on COVID-19 in 2020, Dr. Mike Ryan, head of the WHO emergencies program, called the current pandemic a “wake-up call” on emergency preparedness.

“It may come as a shock to people that this pandemic has been very severe — it’s spread around the world extremely quickly, it’s effected every corner of this planet — but this is not necessarily ‘the big one,'” Ryan said.

Girl Scout cookies linked to child labour in palm oil industry

They are two young girls from two very different worlds, linked by a global industry that exploits an army of children.

Olivia Chaffin, a Girl Scout in rural Tennessee, was a top cookie seller in her troop when she first heard rainforests were being destroyed to make way for ever-expanding palm oil plantations. On one of those plantations a continent away, 10-year-old Ima helped harvest the fruit that makes its way into a dizzying array of products sold by leading Western food and cosmetics brands.

COVID-19 didn’t take a holiday, and the vaccine rollout should not have been allowed to either

As of Monday morning, 52,179 doses of novel coronavirus vaccine had been administered in Canada.

Another 350,000 or so doses are sitting in freezers, unused.

In many provinces, the vaccination rollout has slowed considerably, or even stopped, for the holidays.

Come on people! It’s only Old Folks kicking the bucket!

Computer repairman at center of Hunter Biden laptop scandal sues Twitter

Computer repairman at center of Hunter Biden laptop scandal sues Twitter

A Delaware computer repairman who went public with the sordid contents of Hunter Biden’s hard drive is now suing Twitter for defamation — claiming its content moderation unfairly branded him a “hacker.”

In October, the Post exclusively reported on the tranche of damaging documents on the laptop which was left at John Paul Mac Isaac’s repair store in April 2019 but never collected.

GOLDSTEIN: UN abandoned the fight for human rights in 2020

Human rights took another beating at the United Nations in 2020 — the global body formed after the Second World War, supposedly to protect them.

Despite China’s brutal suppression of democracy in Hong Kong and persecution of its Uighur Muslim minority, the 193-member nations of the UN General Assembly voted in October to elect China to a three-year term on the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), starting Jan. 1.

PM Asshat and his type luv the UN.

Security sent to observe toboggan hill in Mississauga, Ont. amid reports of crowding

TORONTO — The City of Mississauga said it found no one breaking the province’s COVID-19 lockdown rules at a toboggan hill on Sunday afternoon despite numerous reports of crowding and little social distancing.

It happened at Birchwood Park, off Lakeshore Road West and east of Southdown Road, where dozens of children and families could be seen sliding down the snow-covered hill and making their way back up to the top.

An 18-year-old boy’s terrible revenge on a girl who never harmed him

An 18-year-old boy’s terrible revenge on a girl who never harmed him

In 1954, Joseph Welch asked Sen. Joseph McCarthy, “Have you no sense of decency?” Someone needs to ask this of leftists regarding their cancel culture. The latest example of their revered cancel culture is a New York Times article approvingly profiling a boy who destroyed a classmate’s aspirations because, four years before, in a private video, she used a racial slur common in that generation’s music.

End the China economic delusion

End the China economic delusion

It was once an accepted truth that China’s increased economic trade and participation in international bodies such as the World Trade Organization would benefit everyone.

China and its citizens would benefit through the jobs and wealth earned from their vast export market. Americans and Europeans would benefit from access to an ever-greater array of ever-cheaper goods. Asian, African, and other American nations would benefit from access to both sides of this market and the incentive to replicate a version of China’s export model. And the world’s democracies, the cornerstones of the post-Cold War international order, would benefit from China’s recognition that it would gain more by abiding the rules of the game than by breaking them.

A Student Mob Took Over Bryn Mawr. The College Said Thank You

Ideology is a specious way of relating to the world. It offers human beings the illusion of an identity, of dignity, and of morality, while making it easier for them to part with them.
~Vaclav Havel

Last week marked the end of a chaotic semester at Bryn Mawr College, a small women’s liberal arts college located outside Philadelphia. During the final weeks, Bryn Mawr students, including my own child, scrambled to pick up the pieces following a student “strike” that exacerbated the serious preexisting disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. For a period of three weeks, few regular classes were held, activities were suspended, and student life (such as it was) became marked by the same toxic spirit of racism that the strikers claimed to oppose.

Tech censorship: how paranoid should we be?

Tech censorship: how paranoid should we be?

Recently, in the comments underneath our LockdownTV YouTube videos, people have been saying that our videos are being ‘downrated’ on YouTube search. Type in Aella, or Michael Levitt, for example, and videos come above ours in the search results that are much older, viewed much fewer times, and come from channels that have much smaller followings. I hate the idea of being conspiracist, and feel it’s a bit rich to make accusations of censorship against a platform that has brought us so many views and followers, but could it be that heterodox channels like ours have found their way onto a blacklist of channels that should be ever so gently… suppressed?
