“This will keep people on both sides of the border safe,” Trudeau stated during today’s COVID-19 address.

Federal Conservatives rule out working with right-wing Rebel News
The federal Conservatives decided to no longer engage with Rebel News, hours after an e-mailed interview exchange between Leader Erin O’Toole’s staff and the far-right outlet was published.
Mr. O’Toole’s office participated in an interview with Rebel News on Mr. O’Toole’s behalf. After it was published on Monday, Mr. O’Toole’s office said it would no longer respond to the controversial group and the Leader would not do interviews with them either.

FERNANDO: Curfews & More Restrictions Are Not The Answer
If I told you a year ago that Canadians would not only be accepting of government-mandated curfews, but downright supportive of them, I would have seemed like a crazy person.
And yet, that’s where we find ourselves today.
Ontario nurses under investigation after travelling to Washington D.C. to allegedly take part in anti-lockdown event on day of riot
In videos posted to social media by the group, “Nurses Against Lockdowns” the women are seen addressing the crowd at the “Global Frontline Nurses” summit in Washington DC, an event that was scheduled to take place in front of the U.S. Supreme Court just hours before a group of rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol building, breaking windows and tearing through the offices of elected officials.
Trudeau shuffles ministers
Winnipeg MP Jim Carr is returning as a full cabinet member after stepping aside for cancer treatments.
The move was announced in a cabinet shuffle this morning that saw four members in total take on new roles.
Carr stepped down as the minister of international trade diversification following a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, after experiencing flu-like symptoms during the 2019 federal election campaign, though Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed him as a special representative for the region.
Ultra-Othodox Jewish congregations ready to sue over Quebec’s ban on gatherings
The Jewish Community Council of Montreal, the Jewish Hasidic Council of Quebec and several other ultra-Orthodox Jewish congregations have sent a lawyer’s letter to the Legault government urging it to reconsider its ban on gatherings in synagogues and other places of worship during the latest pandemic lockdown.
The letter, prepared by the law firm of Dunton Rainville and delivered to the provincial government last Friday, warns that failure to rescind the ban will see their clients “regretfully” seek redress before the courts.
It’s absurd to conflate support for Tories with white nationalism – but Liberals will try
The Trudeau government is investigating whether the extreme right-wing group the Proud Boys should be declared a terrorist organization. That is a legal decision. But there’s politics in it as well. The Liberals are trying to discomfit Erin O’Toole’s Conservatives by linking the party to extremists.
On the Proud Boys, “officials will be analyzing useful intelligence and evidence as that comes forward,” Mary-Liz Power, press secretary to Public Safety Minister Bill Blair, said in a statement on Sunday.
“When this work is completed, it will form the basis of the decision whether or not the Proud Boys or any other ideologically motivated violent extremist organization reaches the legal threshold for listing.”
Erin O’Toole “disappointed” China’s People’s Daily allowed in Parliamentary Press Gallery
While stopping short of demanding that Chinese propaganda outlets like Xinhua and the People’s Daily be required to register as foreign agents, O’Toole expressed his disappointment that they have been accredited by Ottawa’s Parliamentary Press Gallery.
Liberal environment minister admits carbon tax will raise price of gas
“At the end of the day, politicians have an obligation to the public to tell them the straight goods. And if they have a disagreement, that’s fine. But let’s be serious and let’s be real about the facts,” said Wilkinson.
Sane ways to fight the lockdowns in Canada (2021 will get worse)
On the latest episode of The Ezra Levant Show, we looked at what will come as Trump leaves office and COVID enforcement gears up here in Canada.
Here’s a bit of what Ezra had to say about how Rebel News will face the new year.

Ontario’s latest COVID-19 modelling will project the province’s intensive care units to be filled beyond capacity by early February, and will also show how a new, more contagious variant of the coronavirus risks accelerating the spread of infections, sources tell CBC News.
Martial law in Canada: Raw footage from Quebec’s new COVID curfew

There Are Two Canadians Sitting In Chinese Prisons
Guess which squeaky wheel will get the grease:
When Bolden was sentenced to die, the jury didn’t know he was a Canadian citizen. The Canadian government was also unaware that one of its citizens faced the death penalty.
Voters Blocks
I believe that this was said before:
Immigrants are more likely to apply for citizenship to vote rather than to seek a Canadian passport, says in-house research by the Department of Citizenship. Foreigners said they prized the country’s freedom of speech: ‘It was for my children.’
People who care about their children recognise the reasons why they left their former countries and do not repeat the mistakes that made them unlivable in the first place.
No, this is about keeping certain persons or parties in power, hence the ethnic and sectarian divide and conquer.
Parachute a non (insert ethnic identity here) into (insert previously mentioned ethnic identity here) and run solely on the issues.
Let’s see who votes for the issues then.
Blinding White
But don’t take my word for it:
An all-white, female RCMP civilian board says cabinet should appoint an Indigenous member and “consider” appointing a Black person in the aftermath of Black Lives Matters protests. The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission made its recommendation to the Commons public safety committee: “The only way the public complaint process works is if people trust the system.”
Affirmative action has served to empower fat, white liberal broads, infantalise instead of enfranchise minorities and squeeze everyone else out and we all know it.
