A government advisory committee has advised against pregnant women having the new coronavirus jab because there is not enough data on its safety for that demographic.

Ontario is reporting more than 1,800 new COVID-19 cases and 14 more deaths on Thursday but today’s case count reflects an overestimate due to a processing error.

Did Bill Clinton’s longtime “body man”/key aide expose the former president as a liar about his activities with Jeffrey Epstein? Or is Doug Band using Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman to exact revenge for getting squeezed out by Chelsea Clinton after a dispute over Band’s Teneo venture?
Hundreds of people on Wednesday night — including members of the right-wing group Proud Boys — protested the closure of a Staten Island bar that ignored COVID-19 restrictions.
“Proud Boys in the house,” a handful of people chanted outside Mac’s Public House — the defiant pub that was shut down by authorities Tuesday night after operating without a license and in violation of health orders.
A report by Canada’s intelligence service accuses Russia, China and Iran of spreading COVID-19 disinformation to promote their strategic ambitions.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service named the trio of countries in a declassified report titled COVID-19: Global Effects and Canadian National Security Interests.
It said Russia was “actively spreading disinformation blaming the West for the virus,” as part of a broader campaign to discredit the West, promote Russian influence and push for an end to Western sanctions.
I’d include Justin “Reset” Trudeau in that list.
Over 110,000 federal workers were granted paid leave so far during the pandemic, according to a new report from the Parliamentary Budget Office.

The Saskatchewan government is apologizing for using a photo of two men to promote World AIDS Day.
The government posted the picture showing the men standing side by side with their heads touching on social media on Tuesday.
An accompanying message said HIV infections were on the rise in Saskatchewan and encouraged people to get tested.
Social media users condemned the government’s use of a same-sex couple to talk about HIV as perpetuating the myth of AIDS being a “gay disease.”

With few exceptions, every time I see a clip from CNN, I become convinced that one of the top qualifications for working at the network has to be a psychological incapacity for any self-awareness whatsoever.
Authoritarian governments around the world are using emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, to expand their reach and undermine human rights. The term “digital authoritarianism” has unfortunately now entered our lexicon.
In a recent policy brief, “Exporting digital authoritarianism: The Russian and Chinese models,” Alina Polyakova and Chris Meserole of the Brookings Institution define digital authoritarianism as “the use of digital information technology by authoritarian regimes to surveil, repress, and manipulate domestic and foreign populations.”
Rebel News reporter, Keean Bexte, has been flying across Canada to locate federal government coronavirus quarantine facilities.
We know they exist. The federal government published a Request For Information (RFI) on the government procurement website asking for details and interest from the private sector about setting up the facilities.
Bexte found one such camp in Manitoba. The Manitoba Métis Nation that owns the site say they haven’t yet contracted with the federal government, but they are ready to use the site when called upon.
Schools in Toronto will be opening up classroom windows throughout the winter as a way to curb the spread of COVID-19.
The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) sent out a notice to parents last week asking that they prepare their children by sending them to school with extra warm clothes.
“We recognize it is very much a balance between introducing more ventilation at various times during the day and maintaining a comfortable indoor air temperature in (the) classroom,” the TDSB wrote.
When Trump installed Bill Barr as his attorney general, most conservatives thought this was a good thing. Barr was seen as a straight shooter who had come out of retirement to help clean up the Justice Department that Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch had corrupted and that Jeff Sessions had been helpless to repair. In his two years in office, he’s accomplished some excellent things but much less than conservatives had hoped he would. Things went haywire today, though, when Barr said the DOJ has “not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.” What?!
Yesterday’s High Court judgement, which set strict limits on how far children can consent to puberty-blockers, was not meant to be a verdict on gender-identity treatment, let alone on the transgender movement. As Keira Bell, who brought the case, said: “This judgment is not political, it’s about protecting vulnerable children.”
Nevertheless, the case has political implications.
