As the pandemic continues, some police agencies have decided the Charter of Rights and Freedoms no longer applies. This is dangerous ground.

“China eats weird animals disease”
China pushes conspiracy theories on COVID origin, vaccines
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Chinese state media have stoked concerns about Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, despite rigorous trials that showed it was safe. A government spokesperson has raised the unfounded theory that the coronavirus could have emerged from a U.S. military lab, giving it more credence in China.
As the ruling Communist Party faces growing questioning about China’s vaccines and renewed criticism of its early COVID-19 response, it is hitting back by encouraging conspiracy theories that some experts say could cause harm.
State media and officials are sowing doubts about Western vaccines and the origin of the coronavirus in an apparent bid to deflect the attacks. Both issues are in the spotlight because of the rollout of vaccines globally and the recent arrival of a World Health Organization team in Wuhan, China, to investigate the origins of the virus.

FUREY: Trudeau puts all his eggs in China’s basket
When it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine, Justin Trudeau had one job – deliver the provinces with the vaccine. Unfortunately, it looks like he’s failing at this one job.
How could he possibly do this? It turns out Trudeau signed a deal to develop a vaccine with the Chinese firm CanSino in May and didn’t start signing deals with other vaccine candidates until August.
Anthony Furey discusses Trudeau’s latest failure and the realities of the vaccine and the virus.

What Was Amazon Waiting For? The timing of the tech giant’s offer to assist vaccine distribution efforts raises some eyebrows.
January 20 was Inauguration Day. It was also the day that a major American employer offered to help in the Covid-19 vaccination effort. In a letter from Amazon’s Worldwide Consumer CEO Dave Clark to newly inaugurated President Joe Biden, the company offered to vaccinate its more than 800,000 “essential” employees and “to leverage our operations, information technology, and communications capabilities and expertise to assist your administration’s vaccination efforts.”
‘What happened to the PLAN?’ Biden roasted after claiming ‘nothing we can do to change pandemic’s trajectory’
US President Joe Biden was pilloried online after saying he is powerless to change the “trajectory” of the coronavirus pandemic in the coming months, directly at odds with repeat campaign vows to “shut down the virus.”
The president voiced pessimism about the ongoing outbreak on Friday as he prepared to sign a pair of executive orders aiming at pandemic-related relief, saying the death toll could soon top 600,000 – adding 100,000 fatalities to a projection he gave just one day prior.
Biden is an enfeebled sack of shit. The media that enabled him is full of shit. The corrupt political class aka “The Swamp” the backed him is full of shit. The Corporate class that supported him is full of shit. Anyone who voted for him is full of shit. But Orangeman Bad.
Camera operator covering lockdown protest kicked out of Yonge-Dundas Square by police officer for being ‘non-essential’
A CityNews camera operator was kicked out of Yonge-Dundas Square on Saturday by a police officer and told they were “not essential” while gathering footage of the police presence in the square.
Over the past several months, anti-lockdown protests have been held in the square on Saturdays. Last week, there was a heavy police presence due to the stay-at-home order which resulted in the arrest of the organizer and two others.
One of our CityNews’ camera operators was gathering footage of the police presence today in anticipation of gatherings that exceed the province’s five-person limit when he was told he had to leave the square.
Oh the media scorned!
Video of the protest, a couple of arrests made so far.

Some COVID-19 quotes from political, medical leaders have not aged well
It’s been one year since COVID-19 showed up in Canada.
In that time we’ve learned quite a bit about the virus that has come to dominate all of our lives. We’ve also learned that our political and medical leaders aren’t perfect and have made mistakes in what they have advised the public when it comes to the virus.
WHO Changes CCP Virus Test Criteria in Attempt to Reduce False Positives
The World Health Organization (WHO) has cautioned experts not to rely solely on the results of a PCR test to detect the CCP virus.
In updated guidance published on Jan. 20, the WHO said that lab experts and health care practitioners should also consider the patient’s history and epidemiological risk factors alongside the PCR test in diagnosing the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
The new guidance could result in significantly fewer daily cases.
What really happened? Word got out, WHO couldn’t sustain the lie.
