“WAAAAAH!” She Explained

I have no idea who this person is. I had to look her up and I probably shouldn’t be wasting my time on her but she is exemplary of the other Meghan Markles out there for whom victimhood, not character or ability, is some sort of currency. It only makes one sound utterly morally tone-deaf.

Unless this half-calorie starlet has forded a freezing cold river in the middle of the night in order not to starve to death in a veritable concentration camp state or defied a dictatorship, I really don’t care:

“From my experience of my short 19 years, only now entering the workforce, have I realized, damn, it’s harder to be a woman,” Ramakrishnan told Yahoo Canada. “I don’t regret it, I love being a woman, but damn is it hard.”

Last year Ramakrishnan became a Global Ambassador for Plan International Canada. More recently, she was on TIME magazine’s 2021 TIME100 Next list of the next 100 most influential people in the world, with co-creator of Never Have I Ever, Mindy Kaling, saying Ramakrishnan “has an activist’s heart and wants to use her platform to help others.”

It’s Just Money

Cases in point:

A federal climate bureau spent more than $600 million last year, says an internal audit. Spending did not include $800,000 in annual staff time to manage newly-detailed carbon offset regulations: “Doing nothing is not an option.”

The $675 million Public Health Agency “lacked everything” despite assuring legislators it was prepared for the pandemic, a Liberal-appointed lawmaker told the Senate national finance committee. “I was told twice, not just once but twice, you had enough resources on hand to deal with the pandemic,” said Senator Éric Forest (Que.): ‘There was a huge gap between the perception and the reality.’

The Liberal government will not release a budget in March as it takes more time to assess the impact of the pandemic, meaning that more than two years will have passed since the last federal budget was released.

FUREY: Canadians have a right to have an opinion

When it comes to COVID-19 and government-imposed lockdowns, many Canadians have been dismissed because they’re not a “medical expert.”

The fact of the matter is the pandemic affects everybody’s way of life and everybody deserves to have a say about how government decisions are affecting their lives.

Cities ask Liberals for $7B to create affordable housing

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) estimates the money could create up to 24,000 permanent affordable housing units in urban and rural communities.

Federal government unveils “assault-style” firearm buy-back program plans

Banff-Airdrie MP Blake Richards questioned the firearm buy-back program as it failed to not only take into account the perspective of rural residents, but also lacked clarity on the tangible safety it will provide and the full cost of the program.

“The idea that somehow taking guns out of the hands of law-abiding firearms owners will somehow make a difference in crime is absolutely a ludicrous suggestion to make,” Richards said. “Criminals are the ones that are using guns and crimes, they don’t obtain their guns legally— They smuggle them, they get them in other illegal fashions. This will do nothing to address crime.”

While Hajdu wouldn’t say if it’s an idea Canada is pushing for—requiring some form of proof of vaccination to travel to Canada—she said other nations and industry groups are looking into the kind of evidence or documentation that could be requested in order to travel internationally.
