In a recent story, the Canadian Medical Association Journal alleged that the Liberals have been muzzling access to government scientists throughout the course of Election 44. The journal said that interview requests with both Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam and NACI Chair Dr. Shelley Deeks – two key figures in setting Canadian COVID-19 policy – were rejected “in light of the election.”
Staffing crisis, overwhelmed ICUs & mixed messaging from province created ‘dire’ situation, doctors say.
The motion states that students over the age of 12 will “be required to be partially vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus or provide proof of a medical exemption as of 30 September 2021 and be fully vaccinated as of 20 November 2021 to continue to attend in person classes. Any student who is not vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus after this date will be re-enrolled in the virtual school.”
Little known fact to those who don’t know history, media was hung right next to the Nazis. https://t.co/NKna5vK4Rk

Residents in a Sydney tower block under a strict coronavirus lockdown are having their alcohol deliveries policed.
Former Clinton adviser and CNN political commentator Paul Begala said Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that President Joe Biden needs to use his upcoming coronavirus pandemic speech to combat “all these knuckle-dragging nincompoops on right-wing media who are lying to people.”
When Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine passport rolls out on Sept. 22, individuals with medical exceptions must show proof confirming why they can’t get the shot.
It’s been quite a week. I’ve been in the media business for decades and I’ve never before witnessed such lies, exaggeration and outright fraud. All with the intent to force everyone to be vaccinated. The question is why?
World Health Organization European Advisory Group of Experts in Immunization former Vice President Professor Christian Perronne yesterday said that all vaccinated people must quarantine over the winter months or risk serious illness.
Perronne specializes in tropical pathologies and emerging infectious diseases. He was Chairman of the Specialized Committee on Communicable Diseases of the High Council of Public Health.
Confirming the rapidly deteriorating situation in Israel and the UK, the infectious disease expert stated: “Vaccinated people should be put in quarantine, and should be isolated from the society.”

An Ottawa gym owner says that while his business is taking other COVID-19 precautions, he and his staff will not ask clients to prove they have been fully vaccinated once the province’s vaccination certificate system takes effect later this month.
A New Jersey student has said he is barred from taking classes at Rutgers University because he has not been vaccinated — even though he is only studying virtually from home.
A new poll from The Washington Post and ABC News found that nearly three-quarters of unvaccinated Americans would prefer to quit their job rather than be required to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
… According to Abacus Data, in a 30,000-person poll taken over months, the typical vaccine hesitant Canadian is a 42-year-old Ontario woman who votes Liberal.
As Abacus chair Bruce Anderson wrote in an Aug. 11 Maclean’s magazine article, “almost half of (the vaccine hesitant, 46 per cent) live in Ontario and well over half of them (59 per cent) are women. A quarter were born outside Canada. Their average age is 42 and the plurality are between 30 and 44 years old. If they were voting in a federal election today, 35 per cent would vote Liberal, 25 per cent Conservative, 17 per cent NDP, nine per cent Green — pretty similar to overall voting intentions for the entire population.”
A couple of years ago, when Lambert would talk about professional pundits and official Democratic spokescritters behaving as if they were trying to stoke civil war in the US, I thought he’d been spending too much time on Twitter and might benefit from a dose of smelling salts. It now looks like he was correct, albeit so early it was still possible that the impulse could have fizzled out or moved in another direction.
One of the reasons it’s hard to talk about this obvious yet diffuse and multifaceted development of actively fomenting class hatred is that it doesn’t fall tidily along demographic lines, as much as some factions would like to have you believe otherwise. It’s psychographic.
Hatred of The Other was supposed to a hallmark of the uneducated, provincial, and intolerant. Yet we now see bloody, vicious fantasies about what should happen to Them for being wrong-thinking and wrong-acting being not just voiced freely, but even applauded.
Ontario reports 554 new COVID-19 cases, 16 more deaths
For the second time in the last three days, Ontario is reporting a week-over-week decline in the number of new COVID-19 cases.
Provincial health officials logged 554 new COVID-19 cases today, a notable drop from the 656 infections reported last Wednesday and the 660 cases confirmed two weeks ago.
Legal questions around rights linger as some provinces bring in COVID-19 vaccine passports
Several provinces are entering uncharted waters around the legality of vaccine passports that require patrons of a wide variety of establishments to be fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 shot.
Manitoba and Quebec have brought in vaccine passports in recent weeks, while British Columbia and Ontario announced they would implement such policies beginning later this month. On Tuesday, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey announced the province would follow Quebec’s lead and introduce a vaccination passport that uses a QR code, while Yukon Premier Sandy Silver said the territory was launching an online vaccine credential system. Officials in New Brunswick and P.E.I. have said those provinces will likely also institute their own vaccine passport systems soon.
Governments are permitted under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to limit basic freedoms if they can show why such a limit is reasonable. But there is scant Canadian case law on what is reasonable in a health emergency.
