An esteemed engineering professor in Montreal says suggestions he has a parallel, full-time academic career in his native China are “absolute nonsense,” the product of misleading articles there that exaggerated his involvement in the country.
Ke Wu of Polytechnique Montreal said he has been at times a visiting professor at three universities in China and did a sabbatical at one of them, but said those are “very conventional” academic collaborations that “contribute to Canadian well-being.”
The country’s spy agency is warning companies in the vaccine supply chain that malicious foreign actors could threaten the largest inoculation program in Canadian history — by targeting their workers, among other tactics.
Just prior to the arrival of hundreds of thousands of vaccine doses in Canada, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) recently offered a briefing to industry players about the emerging threat.
One of the people taking part in that briefing was Pina Melchionna, president of the Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation. The non-profit association helps Canadian companies manage delivery logistics.
Sounds like Justin’s China boys.
The New England Journal of Medicine continues its hard swing toward wokeness. Now, it has published an advocacy article that would remove sex designation as an identifiable factor on birth certificates.
Last week, the Canadian government refused to tell the public whether it had granted legal immunity to COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers. Health Canada said it couldn’t release “details of its contracts due to confidentiality clauses.”
On Monday, this changed. A cabinet minister has now acknowledged that pharmaceutical companies will be protected from lawsuits in the event that Canadians are harmed.
Writer Noah Berlatsky united typically warring political factions on social media on Monday after suggesting on Twitter that “parents” are, as a whole, an “oppressive” class, who commit atrocious acts of abuse on the level of economic repression and racism.
Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan suggested that Biden’s proposed policies are contributing to the chaos at the border, saying, “cartels and human smugglers are fueling perceptions that our borders will once again be wide open, and that we will be reinstating the loopholes that have been closed.”
Twitter has confirmed that following President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration next month, President Donald Trump will no longer receive the special protections he currently enjoys on the platform, and could in fact be banned.
Could? Could? More like “Will” and as quickly as possible.
In Ayn Rand’s most famous novel, Atlas Shrugged, thinkers and producers responded to a world of strangling state control by going on strike. As an ever hungrier government crushed enterprise while growing into an unsustainable size, producers vanished to a fictional hidden retreat called “Galt’s Gulch” where genuinely free commerce could be practiced.
In today’s world of growing state control, Alberta has the potential to become Canada’s “Galt’s Gulch”.
The message from ISIS supporters was directed at jihadists in America, Russia, France, Belgium and “the lions everywhere” asking them “what they are doing to support [their] brothers” as “the war is getting worse,” HS Today reported. It was released with an audio reminding ISIS followers that “there are their festive days on the doors — kill them like killing insects” with several verses from the Quran, HS Today reported.
Under the Liberals’ $595 million media bailout plan, media outlets hoping to get access to federal subsidies must be approved by the federal government.
You’ve heard it over and over again:
“We’re all in this together.”
It’s a nice line, that is meant to convey a sense that each of us is going through this China Virus pandemic crisis as a team.
However, it has turned out to be the biggest lie of this entire crisis, with politicians wielding it to mask the true reality:
We aren’t in this together at all.
The public should expect that with the billions of tax dollars spent on emergency preparedness with the central coordination run through Public Safety Canada that Canadians should be well taken care of in the event of calamity.
Well, Canada, depending on the scope of the disaster, be prepared to look after yourself.
Every once in a while, most of us wind up in situations where we are completely baffled. It may be a simple situation, such as having looked literally everywhere for our reading glasses, and not having found them. Did they violate the laws of physics and just vanish? One knows that that cannot be true, and yet, as the old saying goes, once one has ruled out every logical possibility, only the illogical remains, no matter how unlikely it is.
Another situation is the one we are in now. Any informed person, with a modicum of sense, can see that the presidential election results, at best, are not to be trusted and at worst are rampantly fraudulent. Yet it seems that court after court, and investigative agencies one after the other, are turning a blind eye. Are they violating the laws of physics?
Biden’s son Hunter is under investigation by the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania for his ties to Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas giant. The United States Attorney from the District of Delaware has also opened an investigation into Hunter Biden’s “tax affairs.”
Corporate media is deliberately refusing to cover California Democrat Eric Swalwell’s relationship with a Chinese spy despite his position on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Federalist Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway said on Fox News on Tuesday.
Despite claiming his son Hunter “did nothing wrong” as he raked in buku bucks as a manager of “private equity” from places like China after he followed his father around on his trips as vice president, Joe Biden now says things will be different now that he’s going to be president.
The German government has reimposed strict lockdown measures in an effort to reverse a spike in Covid-19 infections. Beginning on December 16, all non-essential shops and businesses, as well as all schools and daycare centers, will be closed until at least January 10.
The new restrictions, which were agreed upon after talks between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the leaders of Germany’s 16 federal states, come after less intrusive lockdown measures that began on November 2 failed to significantly bring down the number of infections.
The Nieman Foundation for Journalism was set up at Harvard. Like everything touching old foundations and journalism, it’s a toxic disaster. And this one is right up there with In Defense of Looting.
This should be the year where we finally abolish the crime beat. Study after study shows how the media’s overemphasis on crime makes people feel less safe than they really are and negatively shapes public policy around the criminal–legal system…
The scene is a womenswear shop in the centre of Bordeaux at the end of last month. Shoppers — young women, teenagers, mothers and children — are enjoying the easing of France’s second Covid-19 lockdown.
A demonstration passes on the street outside. It is protesting against police violence and a proposed new security law. Two young women break away from the demo and scrawl on the shop window with marker pens. One, who tries unsuccesfully to hide her face, writes: “Je vomis sur vos normes.” – I vomit on your standards.
In an irony probably lost on General Motors, California has banned until further notice the sale of the Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 — the high-performance versions of the Camaro — on the basis of “concerns” about the effect on the environment of brake pad emissions.
