As the world’s eyes are focused on Anthony Fauci and the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s less-than-comfortable investments into coronavirus Gain of Function research with the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) only biosecurity level 4 virology lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), America’s neighbors to the North are quietly trying to keep the lid on a dangerous virologic scandal of their own between Canada’s BSL4 lab and the WIV that first emerged in July of 2019.
After enduring a barrage of online hate and physical attacks on her constituency office during her six years as an MP, Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna announced Monday she will not run again in the next election.
McKenna — who led the contentious fight to levy a national price on carbon emissions as environment minister — has long been the target of sexist attacks over her vocal defence of climate action in the face of entrenched opposition.
But she said the hardship she has endured in politics was not the motivation for her departure. Rather, she said, she wants to spend more time with her kids after many nights away during her time in office. She said the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to “step back and reflect on what matters most.”
Laughing all the way to the bank.
The “free world” barely pretends to favor free speech these days. The triggered interns who infest the big publishing houses openly demand their employers pulp the latest manuscripts from J K Rowling and Jordan Peterson. The totalitarian wankers of the British police sit around the station all day monitoring Twitter for transphobic quips, which is far more congenial labor than getting off their flabby arses and catching criminals. The woke billionaires of social media boast openly of their success at “fortifying” the US election by memory-holing unhelpful content.
“Midnight Madness: as Canadians slept, the Liberals, Bloc and NDP combined to pass Bill C-10.”
That is how Canadian law professor and the country’s foremost expert on law and technology, Michael Geist, described Tuesday evening’s House of Commons shenanigans that allowed the Trudeau government to ram through its controversial internet censorship law.
Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna has decided not to run for re-election.
Her decision opens up some prime political real estate — Ottawa Centre — which could become a launching pad for former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney should he decide to run for the Liberals in the next election.
Meetings that Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission chairman Ian Scott had with lobbyists from big telecom companies – including a one-on-one at an Ottawa pub with the now-CEO of Bell – are further reasons to overturn a recent CRTC decision and fire Scott, a small internet provider told the Liberal government.
We are a Banana Republic
They have an opportunity to reconsolidate some of the lost conservative vote, and focus the attention of the nation on a true debate over freedom of expression and the limits of government power.
A prime minister does not take the Speaker of the House of Commons to Court!
Those words ought to be yelled from any and all rooftops.
This week, lawmakers in the United States called for an investigation into whether the October 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan, China was a COVID-19 super-spreader event and whether officials should have known something was amiss, given that the city seemed unusually empty and was described by some participants as a “ghost town.”
Speaker of the House of Commons Anthony Rota intends to take on the Liberal government in a court fight over the disclosure of documents related to the firing of two scientists at Canada’s highest-security laboratory.
The Speaker’s office says the Speaker’s legal counsel has advised the attorney general that Rota — who is named as the respondent on behalf of the House of Commons in the Liberal government’s court application — will challenge the court’s jurisdiction on the basis of parliamentary privilege, unless the government drops its application to block the disclosure of the documents.
I wonder what our Quisling China Class has to hide?
OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau is standing by his embattled minister of Crown-Indigenous relations — for now — despite calls for her removal for sending a text message that some Indigenous people called “racist.”
But Trudeau stopped short of offering his full support to Carolyn Bennett at a news conference Friday, saying he was “deeply disappointed” in her for sending a “hurtful” message to Indigenous MP Jody Wilson-Raybould.
Asked whether Bennett should keep her role in his cabinet, the prime minister did not give a direct answer.
Though the idea of doubling the number of asylum seekers and refugees admitted to Canada, as the Liberals intend to do, may sound nice, it ignores the reality that many of them will face poor outcomes once they arrive, residing in homeless shelters and living off the largesse of the state.
It’s been a tough few weeks for Iain Stewart.
As the federal government’s point man in a heated political fight, he faces parliamentary sanction for refusing to tell MPs exactly why two scientists with links to China were fired from the National Microbiology Laboratory.
This is the stuff Eisenhower warned about.
The trend in all of this legislation is clear: More government control, less freedom. And C-36 takes that to a terrible new level.
The Liberal government is taking the House of Commons Speaker to court, in an unprecedented move to prevent the release of uncensored documents to members of Parliament that offer insight into the firing of two scientists from Canada’s top infectious-disease laboratory.
