The media and some politicians are once again focussing on case numbers when dealing with COVID-19, despite the fact that public health officials believe hospitalizations and ICU capacity is more important to focus on.
If the focus is on case numbers again, it’s important to keep things in perspective.
80% of restaurants no longer qualify for wage and rent subsidies and many might have to consider closing without better access to support.
Bailout time! It’s only money!
In his first campaign to become Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau promised a lot of things.
One of these was affordable housing.
That was in 2015.
Trudeau went on to win his first term as prime minister and with a majority government to boot.
As for affordable homes, the opposite happened.
Canada has been in the news a lot this past week. The Islamists at the TDSB cancelled an ISIS sex slavery survivor lest she offend their murder cult idol Mohammed and our fake Indian Carrie Bourassa is all over everywhere.
Now we have Heather from Alberta. Take a bow Heather.
Analysis: Some higher-education specialists are skeptical about Ottawa’s increasingly eye-catching efforts to lure international students.
Canada has become the most popular country in the world for international students, says a survey conducted in more than 50 countries.
Two in five international students rate Canada as their first choice for higher education, according to IDP Connect’s fall poll of 3,600 study-visa holders. That’s more than double the proportion that picked the next highest-ranked nations — Britain, the U.S. or Australia.
Liberals destroy.
Today, Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health and Dr. Kieran Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Health issued the following statement:
“Today, the province of Ontario has confirmed two cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in Ottawa, both of which were reported in individuals with recent travel from Nigeria. Ottawa Public Health is conducting case and contact management and the patients are in isolation.
The best defence against the Omicron variant is stopping it at our border. In addition to the measures recently announced, we continue to urge the federal government to take the necessary steps to mandate point-of-arrival testing for all travellers irrespective of where they’re coming from to further protect against the spread of this new variant.
Why are we rushing to vaccinate little kids against a virus that doesn’t make them sick?
Why do legacy media reports on this topic look like infomercials for pharmaceutical companies?
Two colleges associated with Western University have adopted a series of recommendations based on critical race theory and other far-left “anti-racism” ideologies.
The guide, titled “A report on Campus Racial Climate at King’s and Brescia,” was written by King’s and Brescia Anti-Racism Working Group and others.
“Analysis and discussion are framed by Critical Race Theory, Indigenous scholarship, among other anti-oppressive theoretical frameworks, and by scholarly literature on academic racial climate,” report authors write.
Crown seeks terrorism peace bond in Calgary after Canadian mother freed from ISIS detention camp
A Canadian woman who landed in Alberta earlier this week after being held at an ISIS detention camp in Syria for two years appeared in a Calgary courtroom Friday as prosecutors seek a terrorism peace bond.
Defence lawyer Yoav Niv and prosecutor prosecutor Ben Rodgers set a two-day hearing before provincial court Judge Lloyd Robertson in March, when the Crown’s application will be heard.
A publication ban protects the 30-year-old woman’s identity. CBC News will call the 30-year-old “S.A.,” (Ed. short for Shitty Ass?) as she was previously identified in Federal Court.
Trudeau’s Canada Did This: Canadian school CANCELS event with ISIS survivor Nadia Murad because her harrowing description of torture and rape ‘would be offensive to Muslims and foster Islamophobia’
If last week’s trip to Washington by the Trudeau government was a success, I’d hate to see what they consider a failure. Since returning from the U.S. capital the Americans have banned P.E.I. potatoes, doubled the duty on softwood lumber and passed the legislation Trudeau wanted to stop, through the House.
Canada’s Minister of Health, Jean-Yves Duclos, made a statement on Friday telling the public about a Canadian travel ban involving nations in the south of Africa due to concerns over the new ‘omicron’ variant of COVID.
The Biden administration is trying to reign in gas prices by releasing oil from the US strategic reserve — but a different sticky supply situation north of the border has spurred Canadians to tap their emergency stockpile of maple syrup amid a major shortage of the sweet stuff.

The sinister attempt to silence a Yazidi survivor
Are we cancelling former Isis sex slaves now? It would seem so, at least going by this barmy story out of Toronto, Canada, where a school-board recently pulled out of an event with a survivor of the Yazidi genocide amidst fears her story could ‘foster Islamophobia’.
Nadia Murad is a Yazidi human-rights campaigner and Nobel Peace Prize winner. In 2014, her family were killed by Isis as the group swept through northern Iraq. She was sold into sexual slavery. She was raped, tortured and passed around depraved militants until she eventually escaped. She has since become an advocate for the rights of Yazidis, determined to make sure the West does not forget what happened in Sinjar.
The evil bastards responsible for this Islamist fuckery at the TDSB still have their jobs. Why?
Wages in Canada are shrinking under the double damage of immigration and inflation, says a report by Bloomberg News.
“About 1.9 million [immigrant] newcomers entered the country in the five years through December … [so] workers, with fewer labor shortages acting as leverage, are scoring tiny wage increases — currently running at 2% on average — that leave them poorer after inflation of almost 5% is factored in,” says the November 21 report.
But in the United States, U.S. employers are being forced to pay higher wages because voters elected President Donald Trump and his pro-American lower-immigration policy in 2016, Bloomberg.com notes
