Cancel Canada Day? The vast majority of Canadians disagree
Only 14 per cent of Canadians back some move to eliminate the national holiday
Across virtually every age, region and political affiliation polled, most Canadians intended to celebrate the July 1 national holiday, are cheered by the sight of the Maple Leaf and — all things considered — saw Canadian history as something worth celebrating.

Civil liberties group urges Liberals to end use of facial recognition tech
CCLA executive director Michael Bryant and privacy and surveillance program director Brenda McPhail noted that the Liberal’s “use of the controversial technology takes unfair advantage of its exemption from Canadian privacy laws, and sends the wrong message to municipal, provincial and federal election officials that this technology is ready for prime time.”
Is Jason Kenney’s Vaccine Lottery Illegal?
The government does have the ability to run their own lotteries, but they were designed for them to use as a means of generating revenue. I’m not sure how giving 3 million dollars away generates any revenue for the province, especially when we were in a few percent of that 70 percent target anyways.
I have heard from reliable sources that, not just the prizes from the airlines, but also the money was provided from outside of the government, which is something that hasn’t been declared by the government. That’s a question that sits out in the air, who’s writing cheques for 3 million dollars? And for what reason are they really writing them?
Canada Will Prohibit Most Vape Flavors Next Year
The Canadian government has initiated the process of banning most flavored vaping products. The flavor ban will be implemented as a regulation by Health Canada, and will prohibit flavors other than tobacco, menthol and mint.

You’re ‘Acting Like Some of Us Are Guilty for Just Existing’: Watch Student Defy Woke School Board in Front of Parents
The 15-year-old Taylor is — or rather, was — a student at Rosemount High School in Rosemount, Minnesota. He’s decided to leave the district, telling the Minnesota-centric conservative news outlet Alpha News that “it wasn’t a healthy environment for any student to be in” due to the encroachment of critical race theory.

How Facebook’s ‘independent fact checkers’ cited letter secretly organized by Wuhan lab funder Peter Daszak to ‘debunk’ leak theory and punish news outlets that explored it
Facebook’s ‘independent fact checkers’ relied on a letter spearheaded by a major financial backer of the Wuhan Institute of Virology to ‘debunk’ articles exploring the possibility that the COVID-19 pandemic originated in a leak from the lab, it has emerged.
For nearly a year, Facebook censored articles exploring the lab leak theory, labeling them ‘false information’ and punishing news publishers by limiting their reach on the platform, before the social media giant sheepishly reversed course last month.
Facebook relies on third-party fact-checkers to ‘debunk’ false claims, and in the case of the lab leak theory, a February article from Facebook partner Science Feedback played a key role in the social media site’s censorship.
Anything to please their Communist Chinese masters and stay on that gravy train.
Good grief

New progressive talking point after NYC attacks: We condemn anti-semitism — and Islamophobia
I should stress that this is a progressive talking point, not a Democratic talking point. Biden and Harris, who need to worry about satisfying a more centrist national electorate, were clear in recognizing that the recent violence in the U.S. and NYC especially isn’t a “both sides” thing.
A Long and Sordid History of Crowds Threatening Violence in the Event of a Jury Acquittal
“I very seriously doubt if the petitioner … has had due process of law … because of the trial taking place in the presence of a hostile demonstration and seemingly dangerous crowd, thought by the presiding Judge to be ready for violence unless a verdict of guilty was rendered.”
No, this is not your author complaining about the lack of due process in the trial of Derek Chauvin in 2021. It Is the great Oliver Wendell Holmes describing the trial of Leo Frank, a Jew convicted of murder in 1913 and eventually lynched by a mob that included prominent officials, after the governor commuted Frank’s sentence from death to life imprisonment.

Michael Moore: Boulder Shooting Shows Gunman Assimilated into American Culture
One of the largest presences on the left today, filmmaker Michael Moore, has brought us the latest example of the West’s overpowering self-hatred, even to the point of civilizational suicide. After the massacre in a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, Moore tweeted: “The life of Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa shows that people can come from all over the world and truly assimilate into our beloved American culture.”
