Brian Lilley says Canadians are going to be waiting longer for the Covid-19 vaccine because of the decisions made by the Trudeau government.
Canada
Criminalizing Everything
A pastor, a politician and a restaurateur are among those charged for their protests against government lockdowns in the past week under the guise of public health, revealing the criminalization of everything and everyone who dares to stand up for their civil liberties.
Feds: Huawei ‘risk assessment’ not our job; Trudeau’s RCMP say no mandate to check on Chinese tech
Last Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau voted against a Conservative motion to ban Huawei’s 5G network in Canada. It’s just another example of Trudeau turning his back on Canadians to protect the interests of his friends in Communist China.
Exclusive: Alberta government quietly gave the NHL $4 million during pandemic
Recently disclosed public documents show the Government of Alberta gave the NHL $4 million dollars in a sole-source contract between July 31, 2020 and October 1, 2020 in order to “promote investment in Alberta to provincial, national and international audiences through a unique partnership opportunity with the NHL.” But no public statement from Premier Jason Kenney or the Alberta government has made mention of the $4 million dollar payment.
Calgary ‘Walk for Freedom’ draws about 1,000 protesters
The group consisted of ordinary people of all ages carrying signs that said a variety of slogans. They included: ‘Take off your mask and smell the bull****,’ ‘My body my choice, no mandatory vaccine,’ ‘Defund state propaganda – CTV, CBC, Global,’ ‘ Where did the flu go? Ask questions,’ ‘Wake-up global reset is in play,’ and ‘Fear is the modern plague,’ ‘Power of the people is stronger than the people in power,’ ‘Lockdowns are more deadly than covid,’ ‘The government loves pandemics for the same reason they love war, it gives them the ability to impose control on the populations they otherwise would never accept,’ ‘God keep our land glorious and free,’ ‘Arrest Trudeau for treason,’ ‘Lock up Nenshi,’ ‘Our fear of death has stolen our courage to live,’ ‘This ends when we stop complying,’ and ‘Boost your immunity avoid fake news.’
Your daily dose of ChiCom propaganda from the CBC – “China’s Bitch Corporation”
Trump administration put Canada in a ‘very difficult situation,’ Huawei VP says
…Liu said he understood that the families of Kovrig and Spavor are hopeful for their return but added the same could be said of China’s desire to see Meng released.
The ChiComs seized hostages and Rosemary just lets it slide.
Canada to reveal huge COVID-19 deficit, make ‘down payment’ on national childcare
Canada next week will reveal the breadth of the emergency spending it has made during the pandemic and lay the groundwork for future stimulus and social measures, like a national childcare program, government sources told Reuters.
Support for mandatory coronavirus vaccine keeps falling even as cases spike: Ipsos
“We know when we start going through the concerns that people have, they’re very worried about anything that has been rushed or they might perceive has been rushed. They’re very worried about anything that might have side effects associated with it,” said Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs.
The Broadcasting Act Blunder, Day Seven: Beware Bill C-10’s Unintended Consequences
With the introduction of the government’s plan to regulate Internet streaming services, Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault has touted new rules that will require companies such as Netflix and Spotify to make mandatory payments in support of Canadian content. The government’s bill also paves the way for the companies to both tinker with what they show to subscribers, so as to increase the “discoverability” of Canadian content, and open their books to Canada’s telecom and broadcast regulator by granting access to confidential corporate information.
Canadians who say they’ve been targeted by foreign agents want co-ordinated response
They are calling on the federal government to establish a hotline for their complaints because they say they’ve been getting the runaround from Canadian law enforcement when they try to report death threats against themselves, or intimidation of their loved ones abroad.
The stringency of COVID-19 measures varies wildly across the country. But is that a compelling reason to centralize the pandemic response?
Despite having markedly lower COVID-19 death rates than most G7 nations, Canada is on track to record 20,000 COVID-19 cases a day across all age groups by the end of December. A growing chorus of pundits are calling for the federal government to compel the provinces to adopt a more stringent pandemic response. The idea is that invoking greater federal control – particularly as we enter the winter months – could help stem the rising second wave.
FERNANDO: The More They Fail, The More They Want
There is a narrative setting in, pushed by much of the media and opportunistic politicians, and it goes a little something like this:
‘The COVID-19 crisis shows the importance of government authority, since government action is what will get us through it. Government was there every step of the way, providing financial support to families and businesses, providing resources in the healthcare system, imposing restrictions for your own good, and keeping our society functional during this time.’
This narrative will be very compelling for many, and will feel truthful to many Canadians.
It is also completely wrong, and quite dangerous.
McCallum says he was never paid by Communist China
Former Ambassador to China Defends Comments on Meng Wanzhou Extradition Case
…When questioned if he had received gifts from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) during his tenure as the ambassador, McCallum said he had “not received a penny” as “ambassador, as MP, or post-ambassador” from Beijing.
According to a 2018 Globe and Mail article, McCallum accepted over $73,000 in trips to China sponsored by the Chinese regime or pro-Beijing business groups between 2008 and 2015 during his time as a member of Parliament.
The Broadcasting Act Blunder, Day Five: The Narrow Exclusion of User Generated Content Services
The Broadcasting Act Blunder series has focused for the past two days on inaccurate claims from Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault that the bill contains significant economic thresholds as a guardrail against over-regulation and excludes news from its ambit. As I noted, the bill does no such thing, though the CRTC will be able to establish regulatory exemptions once it conducts extensive hearings on implementing the legislation should it pass.
ESKENASI: Can the government run out of money?
Many politicians are pushing for more lockdown measures while promising to help businesses cope by introducing more spending programs.
Prime Minister Trudeau says the provinces won’t have to choose between people’s health and the economy because the federal government will step in – but can the Government of Canada run out of money?
