Calgary chamber asking province to create COVID-19 vaccine passport system

Speaking on Tuesday on the Calgary Eyeopener, chamber president and CEO Deborah Yedlin said businesses have voiced concerns surrounding their ability to stay open amid the province’s lifting of restrictions.

“Our members have told us that a vaccine certificate passport is a very good idea, and it’s really, really critical to be able to continue to open successfully and consistently,” Yedlin said.

“If we’re not going to be testing, tracing and isolating, we need another mechanism to keep everyone safe.”

China sentences Canadian Michael Spavor to 11 years on spying charges

DINGDANGDONG, CHINA — A Chinese court sentenced Canadian entrepreneur Michael Spavor to 11 years in prison Wednesday in a spying case linked to Beijing’s pressure campaign against the Canadian government over the arrest of an executive at tech giant Huawei.

A Canadian court will hear final arguments in the next few weeks over whether to hand over the executive, Meng Wanzhou, to face U.S. criminal charges in connection with possible violations of trade sanctions on Iran.

Canadian Michael Spavor found guilty of “Spying”, sentenced to 11 years in prison by Communist Chinese Kangaroo court

Canadian Michael Spavor has been found guilty and sentenced to 11 years in prison by a Chinese court in a verdict that will further test the strained relationship between the Canadian and Chinese governments.

He was convicted of spying and illegally providing state secrets to other countries.

The verdict and sentencing mark a significant new development in Spavor’s journey through the Chinese legal system, which Ottawa and other observers have decried for a perceived lack of transparency.

Great idea, let’s mine Bitcoin for China….

China Bitcoin Mine – just look at all that “job” it created

‘Up to 1 million’ bitcoin processors could be relocated to Alberta from China under energy firm’s proposal

Three natural gas-producing sites in southern Alberta could host “up to one million” bitcoin mining machines relocated from China under a deal proposed by Nevada-based Black Rock Petroleum Company amid Beijing’s ongoing crackdown on cryptocurrency production and trading.

… It’s unclear what the project could mean for Alberta’s tax base. Black Rock said the site would be staffed by Chinese and English speaking technicians and other employees, but it’s unclear how many jobs the project would entail.

…Under the terms of the Quirk Creek agreement, Black Rock’s press release said, Black Rock would work in partnership with China-based Optimum Mining Host Ltd. (OMH), which would cover many of the costs anticipated to arise out of the arrangement.

Chinese court rejects Canadian Robert Schellenberg’s appeal of death sentence

A Chinese court upheld on Tuesday the death sentence of Canadian prisoner Robert Schellenberg for drug smuggling — a day before another court is due to rule on the case of another Canadian accused of spying.

The court proceedings for the two Canadians come as lawyers in Canada representing Meng Wanzhou, the detained chief financial officer of telecoms giant Huawei, make a final push to convince a B.C. Supreme Court not to extradite her to the United States, where she faces charges linked to violating sanctions.

Schellenberg was arrested for drug smuggling in 2014 and jailed for 15 years in late 2018.

Well that sucks.

FUREY: Reclaiming our culture

The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing lockdowns had a devastating impact on Canadians – one thing that is often forgotten is our culture. Sporting events, art galleries and street festivals were all put on pause because of COVID.

As Canada begins to reopen and various facets of the culture sector begin to operate again, let’s not understate how important culture is to Canadians.

Will Sinking Revenues Lead Justin Trudeau To Buy CBC Corporation?

Cultural Action Party are so often the bearer of bad news. Proclamations of doom and gloom infuse our media output when witnessing what we see as a systemic morphing of Canada into a covert dictatorship.

One theme out of many has been expressed ad nauseum– the relationship of our ruling Liberal government and mainstream media. As a synopsis, our view is that coordination between the two indicates replication of life within communist societies.

The most pertinent example is the nation of China. Through the will of government, media must espouse state-approved ideology. Punitive damages wait in the wings for those who breach these conditions.

In other words, the government own the media in China. Bringing us to our ruling government’s relationship with CBC Corporation. In 2016, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau provided the CBC with a cool $600 million of additional cash infusions. On an annual basis, our government deliver some $1.2 billion dollars to this hyper-leftist crown corporation.

Ottawa idiot convert terrorist released from halfway house, starts new life

Drawing makes him look more intelligent.

Carlos Larmond, the Ottawa terror twin jailed in 2015 for trying to leave the country to fight for ISIS, has been released from a Calgary halfway house and is starting over as a newly-married man with his sights on entrepreneurship.

The former Vanier crack dealer’s rapid descent into radicalization was at the urging of his dominant twin brother. He was arrested while boarding a plane for Frankfurt with the hopes of making it to Syria to fight for ISIS. His brother started recruiting the would-be jihadi and others after his own plans to join ISIS were scuttled when his passport was revoked.
