Conservative MPs weep at hearing for Canadians claiming COVID vaccine injuries

Conservative MPs became emotional during a public hearing as Canadians described deaths and serious health problems they attributed to COVID-19 vaccines, including the case of a longtime parliamentary aide who qualified for federal vaccine injury compensation before his death.

“I don’t think we have properly acknowledged the harm that was done to many people,” Conservative MP Blaine Calkins, who represents Ponoka-Didsbury, Alta., said at the hearing.

Never forget

Never forget

I was getting ready for work when news broke of the first plane. A colleague and I were heading for a meeting at Vancouver’s airport.

By the time we got turned around the airport was in chaos. Black SUV’s, parked aircraft and a flood of exiting travelers.

Kathy and I caught up with each later that day. 10 years later we would attend the 911 anniversary in New York.

We will not forget Islam and its Quislings.

We will not forget those who lost their lives.

UK: The end of the rush towards assisted dying? MPs vote down controversial law

A fresh bid to legalise assisted dying was defeated in the House of Commons today as efforts to revive the controversial Bill fell at the first major hurdle.

MPs voted by 286 to 270, a majority of 16, to reject the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at its Second Reading.

There were cheers and a shout of ‘good’ as the result was announced in the chamber, while some MPs could be seen hugging and pumping their fists.

Former Engineer Tells Huawei Jury a Colleague Boasted of Taking Code Used in Amazon’s Cloud Platform

Former Engineer Tells Huawei Jury a Colleague Boasted of Taking Code Used in Amazon’s Cloud Platform

BROOKLYN, New York — A former engineer at Huawei’s American research subsidiary testified Thursday that she was shocked when a colleague allegedly boasted of co-opting patented code used in Amazon’s cloud-computing platform, offering prosecutors an early insider account in the Chinese telecommunications giant’s racketeering trial.

Meanwhile, Huawei’s lawyers argued that jurors should not treat the sworn statement of Meng Wanzhou—the Huawei executive who avoided extradition from Canada and any appearance in this Brooklyn courtroom—as a confession.

‘No way’ Canada can meet its 2030 climate target, researchers say

‘No way’ Canada can meet its 2030 climate target, researchers say

OTTAWA — Canada’s progress against greenhouse gas emissions is stalling, according to a new analysis that concludes the country’s climate target for 2030 is so far out of reach that it likely won’t even be met by 2050 — the year Prime Minister Mark Carney promises to hit “net zero” emissions.

Researchers at the Canadian Climate Institute were set to release their analysis Friday morning, concluding the country is “far off track for its near-term climate goals,” and that there is a “cavernous gap” between projected future emissions and the ambition to hit net-zero by 2050.

The Lindsay Clancy Holdout Juror Is A Black Man. Here’s Why Gayle King Needed To ‘Sit With That For Just A Second’

The funniest thing you’ll see all week is the moment CBS Mornings content creator Gayle King found out the lone juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial who wouldn’t vote to acquit, resulting in a mistrial, was a black man. She nearly needed smelling salts.

Everything About China is Terrible

Everything About China is Terrible

Every time I am invited to China my heart lifts. Within 24 hours of arriving, I have usually hit rock-bottom. By the time my visit is over, I am only too glad to be boarding the plane for Hong Kong and on to the UK. If you want a ‘full fat’ experience of China, try visiting as a keynote speaker at a conference. On arrival at the airport there will, inevitably, be a male driver bearing a card with ‘MacNab’ written on it. He will, almost invariably, be accompanied by a female Master’s student.

‘My life is effectively destroyed’: Allison Inquiry exposes twin faces of fight against COVID vaccine policies

OTTAWA — Patricia Leidl arrived in Ottawa this week eager to tell a painful story about her reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine that even some of her own friends have questioned.

After an uneventful first shot against the COVID virus, Leidl received a second dose of vaccine on June 10, 2021, just days before she was planning to head off to Vienna for a new job she couldn’t wait to start.

We are still failing the moral test of 9/11

We are still failing the moral test of 9/11

Imagine if you had told someone on 11 September 2001 that in 25 years’ time the streets of New York City would ring out with sympathy for Islamofascism. Imagine if you had said to one of the startled souls watching American lives be incinerated by Islamist filth that one day the West would swarm with youths cosplaying as Islamist filth. Imagine if you had said that in a mere quarter of a century even our leafiest campuses would be awash with jihad chic, with silver-spoon students gushing over an Islamo-army (Hamas) every bit as hateful and medieval as the one that burnt New Yorkers alive.

HARDING: Stop blaming Trump for Canada’s economic failures

HARDING: Stop blaming Trump for Canada’s economic failures

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew called Donald Trump’s tariffs “immoral” after Canadian trade talks with the United States (US) fell apart.

That’s quite a charge coming from a Canadian politician.

“[T]he government of Manitoba is 100 percent behind the prime minister’s direction to retaliate against Donald Trump’s unjustified and immoral tariffs,” Kinew said at a press conference at the Manitoba legislature on August 22.
