Quebec researchers say they have found an effective drug to fight COVID-19
A team of researchers from the Montreal Heart Institute believes they have found an effective weapon against COVID-19: colchicine, an oral tablet already known and used for other diseases.
For Dr. Jean-Claude Tardif, who led the study, this is a “major scientific discovery” and colchicine is the first “effective oral drug to treat out-of-hospital patients.”
“To be able to offer this, from Quebec, and for the planet, we are very happy,” said Tardif.
Isn’t it great that the oil from Canada will now be moved by trains and trucks?
Now that the Keystone XL pipeline is canceled by President Joe Biden, the world is supposedly greener.
Really? Fact is, it’s the opposite. Instead of getting more environmentally friendly, the carbon footprint from that oil will be increased substantially because it will be shipped by trucks and trains above ground instead of through underground pipe. It is also much less safe and efficient: shipping by trucks and trains means more accidents — and an increased human cost. What sheer brilliance! I thought all of Biden’s decisions were going to be based on facts and science.

Rex Murphy: Were I an Albertan today, I’d be asking: What’s the point?

He couldn’t wait.
Joe Biden didn’t let the sun set on his first day as president before coming down like a ton of bricks on Alberta. Almost with his first breath, he smashed Keystone XL.

Justin Trudeau is Happy to let Joe Biden lead him by the Nose
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could have quite easily fought to keep the Keystone XL pipeline project alive; it may have only taken a bit of pushback against President Joe Biden to make it clear the pipeline project is vital in maintaining the Canada-US trade relationship, but Trudeau provided zero resistance.
The other day Trudeau when called by Biden to discuss the Keystone XL pipeline cancellation simply said that he understood Biden needed to fulfill a campaign promise and was “disappointed” that his administration was cancelling it.
