As of this writing, there have been 7,073 coronavirus deaths in Canada.
Answer for? HA! What country are you living in?:
For 15 years, we were told SARS had transformed Ontario and Canada as a whole into the most pandemic-ready society on earth. Then, suddenly, with elderly relatives dropping dead in their thousands of a virus transmitted via droplets landing in our face-holes, scientists were telling us that covering our mouths and noses was worse than useless. Not only did our public health officials fail to learn the headline lesson from the SARS report, many of them sounded borderline deranged.
What is truly deranged is that people still listen to these official lunatics and screw-ups.
Good:
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he is terminating the U.S. relationship with the World Health Organization over its handling of the coronavirus, saying the WHO had essentially become a puppet organization of China.
There is a "Twelve Monkeys" joke in here somewhere and I'm struggling to find it:
India is grappling with an incident straight out of a movie after several monkeys escaped from a laboratory with COVID-19-tainted blood samples in hand.
The incident happened at a medical college in Meerut, a city in the Uttar Pradesh area of northern India on Tuesday, according to officials.
“Monkeys grabbed and fled with the blood samples of four COVID-19 patients who are undergoing treatment,” Dr. S. K. Garg, a top official at the college, told Reuters. He added that it’s unclear whether the tubes of blood had been spilled.
Yes, one is aware that this is the least ethical and transparent government in the country's history, right?:
The Trudeau government plunged Canada $371.5 billion further into debt in a matter of days.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the Commons finance committee was told that the government borrowed over a third of a trillion dollars between March 1 and March 26 to finance their coronavirus programs.
“In total between March 1 and March 26 we’ve issued $371.5 billion in debt,” said associate assistant deputy finance minister Soren Halverson.

When news broke that four federal political parties had applied for taxpayer support from the emergency wage subsidy program, which was intended to support struggling businesses, it fell to the leader of the Bloc Québécois, of all people, to say the obvious.
“I find it absolutely unacceptable,” said Yves-Francois Blanchet, whose party was the only one not to apply for the subsidy, noting that the Liberals and Conservatives in particular had already raised millions of dollars in donations before the COVID-19 crisis ever hit.
You're just angry that you didn't get anything out of it.
Justin campaigned for this seat good and hard, even at the expense of Canada, so it would be quite something else if he didn't get it :
The United Nations has confirmed that the election for non-permanent seats on the Security Council — which pits Canada against Norway and Ireland — will take place in June under unprecedented new rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The 193 ambassadors will cast their votes on behalf of their countries in a secret ballot with the three candidates vying for two available temporary seats on the UN’s most powerful body. ...
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been courting the support of large voting blocs in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean because European countries are expected to rally around Norway and Ireland. This past week, Trudeau co-hosted a major UN meeting on rebuilding the global economy after the pandemic.
Canada is running on a platform of trying to help rebuild the post-pandemic world. In a joint press video press conference with Trudeau, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres tacitly endorsed Canada’s ability to convene larger groups of countries to serve the greater international good — a key plank in Canada’s platform for the council.
Blanchard wouldn’t say how much support Canada has been able to garner, but the secret balloting process in the UN has been notorious for deception that has seen countries promise support but take it away when an ambassador casts his or her secret vote.
Also - shut your woman-hating word-hole, PM Blackface. Why would largely white, organised and leftist American rioters care what a blackface-wearing nobody like you think, anyway?:
Sorry, but after
#TrudeauBlackface,
we’re not interested in hearing from him on this. #cdnpoli

| Justin conveniently forgot that he did this THREE times just as his loyal followers forgot to care. Scratch a Liberal, you will ALWAYS find a racist. |

North Korea has been bucking sanctions, smuggling meth and trying to build its nuclear program. Indictments to stop all of this should have been done ages ago:
The U.S. government has charged 28 North Korean and five Chinese individuals with facilitating more than $2.5 billion in illegal payments for Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons and missile program in what court papers describe as a clandestine global network operating from countries including China, Russia, Libya and Thailand.
Also:
Britain has shuttered its embassy in North Korea and all its diplomats have left the country, its ambassador said Thursday as Pyongyang maintains strict entry controls to try to prevent a coronavirus outbreak.
The North has closed its borders and insists it has not had a single case of the virus that emerged in neighboring China late last year and has since swept the world.
The closure was a temporary move and came because Pyongyang’s “restrictions on entry to the country have made it impossible to rotate our staff and sustain the operation of the embassy”, a Foreign Office spokesperson said.
Ambassador Colin Crooks tweeted: “The #BritishEmbassy in #Pyongyang closed temporarily on 27 May 2020 and all diplomatic staff have left the #DPRK for the time being.”
Japan, I would re-consider visiting China forever:
Ruling party lawmakers, citing concerns over Beijing’s crackdown on Hong Kong, are urging the government to consider withdrawing its invitation to Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state visit to Japan.
Two groups from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party submitted a resolution to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga on Friday, expressing “serious concern” over the situation in the semiautonomous former British colony.
The resolution called on the government to “carefully consider” whether the visit should still go ahead, underscoring the views of conservative LDP members, who have been critical of China’s poor human rights record and continued assertiveness in waters surrounding the Japan-administered Senkaku Islands. The uninhabited islets are also claimed by China, where they are known as the Diaoyu.
And now, some snappy music for a Saturday afternoon:
