A prominent member of Ontario’s science table, which advises the government on pandemic restrictions including school closures, was paid by a teachers’ union for offering an argument against the government’s school reopening plans at a provincial labour board hearing, the Toronto Sun has learned.
The EU is poised to impose export controls on vaccines leaving the 27-member bloc to ensure supply on the continent. The proposal would require companies to seek approval before shipping vaccines to countries like Canada.
The riots are wrong and heartbreaking. But many people feel desperate in this lockdown.
We in the UK say we are turning a blind eye to something. In the Netherlands, they say, ‘we zullen het door de vingers zien’, which means, we’ll see it through the fingers. It is how the Dutch communicate that they are letting something slide.
Fueled by social media posts from Chinese officials, Chinese Catholics have been blamed for a recent apparent resurgence of COVID-19 cases near Beijing, a move that a local priest described as being like the times of “Emperor Nero.”
Remember this the next time some politician or corporate sleaze admonishes you about your “racism.”
Days after announcing deal, Ottawa learned China blocked CanSino’s vaccine shipment
The federal government found out that the Chinese government was interfering with Canada’s plan to test and possibly produce a COVID-19 vaccine made by a Chinese company just days after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the deal, according to newly released government documents.
The agreement between the Canadian government and CanSino Biologics Inc. would have made the latter the first company to conduct clinical trials for a COVID vaccine in Canada. It was also the first deal through which Canada could have secured a vaccine supply. It wasn’t until three months later — and after Trudeau announced additional vaccine deals with two other pharmaceutical companies — that his government conceded that its deal with CanSino was dead.
Yea, the first nation I’d hook up with to produce a vaccine is a murderous communist slave state that imprisons our citizens.
A group of Canadian scientists and health experts is starting a campaign to debunk misinformation about COVID-19.
The scientists involved are using the hashtag #ScienceUpFirst to provide information about the ongoing pandemic using science-based evidence on social media.
Cats and dogs may also need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to help stunt the spread of the infectious disease — amid a threat of the “continued evolution of the virus in animals,” scientists have warned.
Clearly, by the number of riders on these buses, people are not following orders to stay home.
The people driving overflowing TTC buses don’t have the luxury of obeying the government order.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler blasted with pepper spray an unmasked man who confronted him and former Mayor Sam Adams with a video camera as the two left a pub Sunday night, the two men told police.
Wheeler and Adams had just finished dinner at the McMenamins Hillsdale Brewery & Public House on Southwest Sunset Boulevard around 8 p.m. when a man both described as middle-aged accused the current mayor of dining without a mask, according to a Portland Police Bureau report released Monday afternoon.

Ford government extends state of emergency, coronavirus stay-at-home order for additional 14 days
The Ford government has extended its second state of emergency and a stay at home order due to coronavirus for an additional two weeks.
Included as a line in a news release about the vaccine program, the province says both the state of emergency and the stay-at-home order will now extend until at least Feb. 9.
Oh Oh! There are now 43 confirmed cases of the UK B117 variant in Ontario and Toronto’s top doctor says you should assume it is spreading
Your Liberal Government hard at work securing vaccines… Anand’s office forced to clarify statements made by Fergus
No one saw this coming! Coronavirus: Vaccine supply fears grow amid EU export threat
Last week, AstraZeneca told the EU it was falling behind on its supply target because of production problems and Pfizer-BioNTech has also said supplies of its vaccine will be lower.
In response, EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides has now said companies making Covid vaccines in the bloc will have to “provide early notification whenever they want to export vaccines to third countries”.
A doctor from the Wuhan hospital hit hardest by the Covid-19 epidemic has said he and colleagues suspected the virus was highly transmissible in early January last year, weeks before Chinese authorities admitted it, but were prevented from warning anyone.
The doctor’s testimony – in a new BBC documentary on the 54 days between the first known case of coronavirus and the Wuhan lockdown – adds to mounting evidence of Beijing’s early attempts to cover up the virus outbreak, and intimidate healthworkers into staying quiet.
As the first few days of Joe Biden’s “100 days of mass mask-wearing” go by, I have no doubt you are seeing lots more mask-wearing than you did prior to January 20, right? Maybe you’re seeing people with two masks instead of the now-outdated one. Hopefully, you are seeing more masks in personal vehicles, in private homes, on hiking trails, in parks, and in all the other places and situations where people may have been lax before. Masks worn by joggers, gym-goers, and even children playing team sports should be the norm, probably forever. Universal, constant mask-wearing, after all, is the most effective way to curb the spread of the LITERAL PLAGUE, and that’s pretty much all you peasants need to know …
As the government says any Canadian who wants a coronavirus vaccine by September will be able to access one, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland is stopping short of telling Canadians they can plan for a return to normal at the end of the year.
The willingness of many international institutions and the establishment media to push the same line as the Chinese Communist Party is quite disturbing.
Imagine changing the rules in the middle of the game, so that hits rather than runs, or first downs rather than touchdowns, determine the game winner. That is exactly what is happening with COVID reporting, just as many of us predicted. This confirms the lingering question of how much of COVID was about the actual virus versus a political club to hurt President Trump and drive him from office, quite successfully.
