Political, Not Medical, Science Drives the Lockdown Lemmings

Political, Not Medical, Science Drives the Lockdown Lemmings

History ignobly records and rightly condemns those despots who tried to excuse their trampling of people’s rights by arguing: “I kept you safe.” Astoundingly, such despots are often enabled and, indeed, applauded by those they oppress.

Canadians watching Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attempting to explain away why he has no answers on when we might see COVID-19 vaccines arrive relative to other countries might be forgiven for yelling out one of the internet’s favourite ripostes, “You had one job!”

Asked time and again by reporters when we might see a vaccine given the U.K. is already booking appointments and the U.S. is looking at a roll out two weeks from now, Trudeau fumbled all over the place, often attempting bad sports analogies.

Manitoba Church Fined for Holding Service Says It Will Continue

Manitoba Church Fined for Holding Service Says It Will Continue

The Church of God Restoration near Steinbach, Manitoba, was given a $5,000 ticket—the maximum allowed under the province’s public health act—after holding an in-person service days after the province had banned all faith-based gatherings amid a spike in COVID-19 cases.

Senior Pastor Henry Hildebrandt said the church regularly reminded members of the province’s health protocols and requirements, and supplied them with free masks if needed. He questioned why the province banned church services while allowing “liquor, cannabis, department and big box stores” to remain open.
