Your mid-week march to summer ...
Why not until Christmas?:
The Ontario provincial government has extended all emergency orders currently in force until the end of June.
Premier Doug Ford says the province will review each of the orders on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they can be adjusted or lifted as officials work to curb the spread of COVID-19.
I'll just leave this right here:
More than 60 per cent of commercial flights in and out of Beijing have been cancelled as the Chinese capital raised its alert level Wednesday against a new coronavirus outbreak and other nations confront rising numbers of illnesses and deaths.
And this:
Why ever would they say a thing like that?:
Trudeau said that it was "somewhat irresponsible" for the Bloc and Conservatives to say we live in a dictatorship.
(Sidebar: only somewhat, huh?)
What could prompt the opposition - or anyone- to declare that Justin is a dictator?:
The future prime minister’s odd answer: “You know, there’s a level of admiration I actually have for China ….”
China? Why China?
“Because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say ‘we need to go green fastest…we need to start investing in solar.'”

Justin Trudeau, who came into office vowing to be the gold standard in transparency and ethical behaviour, became Wednesday the first prime minister to violate federal conflict of interest rules over a series of family vacations last year.
**
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insists his ejection last week of Jane Philpott and Jody Wilson-Raybould from the Liberal caucus was lawful, and backed by a united caucus.
**
We now have it confirmed: The RCMP have been investigating the possibility that someone in the Trudeau government obstructed justice in the SNC-Lavalin case.
**
The government is pledging nearly $600 million over the next five years to help news organizations struggling to adapt to a digital age that has disrupted traditional business models.

UNBELIEVABLE: PM
Justin Trudeau had me literally dragged out of his press conference to
avoid questions. I was officially let in by security, but when
Trudeau's henchman saw me, the PMO sicced the RCMP on me. A
journalist.
Democracy is dead in Canada.

With the China CCP Coronavirus spreading throughout Canada, our country faces a looming shortage of essential Personal Protective Equipment, like masks and protective clothing for doctors and nurses.
And a key reason for that shortage is that Justin Trudeau gave away a whopping 16 TONNES of that equipment.
He gave it to Communist China.
**
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hasn't ruled out using smartphone data to track whether people are complying with public health officials' pleas for them to stay inside to curb the COVID-19 pandemic — a notion that raises some thorny ethical dilemmas regarding public health and privacy rights.
**
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his minority government tried to sneak a power grab never before seen in our history into its emergency spending bill that would have, in essence, ripped up the Canadian Constitution, trampled the Magna Carta, damaged the very raison d’etre of Parliament and the role of the opposition and spit on the war graves of those who have fought and died for Canada’s democratic way of life.
And yet, how many Canadians even know that this has happened as most of the country’s focus is on COVID-19 and its rapid spread around the world? The National broadcast on CBC barely mentioned this troubling attempt at an unprecedented power grab on Wednesday.
**
In return for Trudeau’s promise for more sick-leave protections — did Singh not realize this is largely a provincial matter and he was being played? — our MPs won’t have their next face-to-face session until Sept. 27, which is considerably distant when the Liberals need to be held to account now.
**
Mr. Trudeau has been indoors in a cottage for 50 plus days. His morning standups under the Tent of Commons have passed the tedious stage, passed dreary, passed repetitive, clichéd and annoying. They are as useless as they are arrogant. And that’s a high bar on both. One person, even a PM, is not a government.
Trudeau is either scared of the House of Commons, or he has no regard for it. Perhaps it’s both.
The prime minister is not acting as a prime minister should, or should be allowed to. He has not the right to end the deliberative and accountability functions of Parliament.
Then there's that bribing people to be in the UN thing:
This is the ultimate government for style over substance. It’s not what they would do with a SecCon seat, it’s what being on the council would say about them.
Being on the council would say the Liberals are recognized by the rest of the world as morally and intellectually superior, enlightened, better.
The Liberals have spent over $4 million tax dollars just on the publicity campaign to back Canada’s bid. Wining and dining other country’s U.N. ambassadors, producing propaganda publications and media presentations and arranging face-to-face lobbying meetings with foreign representatives, which have become very much more difficult, of course, in the age of COVID.
(Sidebar: or Justin could move Canada further under the control of the UN but whatever.)
**
Of course, that isn’t the real problem. The real problem is the massive amount of money and value capital Trudeau has wasted. Trudeau has pledged hundreds of millions (likely billions when it’s all added up) in foreign aid (also known as BRIBES) to foreign countries in an effort to buy votes.All that money is money that is no longer available for Canadians, at a time when our economy is already in a dire situation, Canadians are suffering, and our budget deficit is surging.Further, the money doesn’t even come with ironclad vote guarantees, so a country can take our money and then vote against us anyway.
He has spent hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ dollars and pandered to unethical regimes all over the world – even amid a national health and economic crisis.All to win a temporary seat on the security council of the UN.
**
In a disgraceful and disgusting move, the Trudeau Government has sided with North Korea and Zimbabwe in supporting an anti-Israel UN resolution.
It's time for Trump to withdraw from this genocide-supporting organisation.
It's just money:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is promising to deliver a “snapshot” of the federal government’s finances in the House of Commons July 8.The Liberals were supposed to present a full budget for 2020 in March but postponed it indefinitely when the COVID-19 pandemic struck.
Trudeau has said uncertainty from the pandemic makes meaningful forecasts impossible.
What he meant to say is that he hasn't been counting the money he has been throwing around.
**
More than four years into the Liberal government’s infrastructure program, spending on projects remains $2 billion shy of its target, according to a new report released Wednesday.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer found that total spending under Ottawa’s sprawling $187-billion infrastructure program has now reached $51 billion, or roughly $2 billion less than projected in 2019.
Compared with 2016 estimates, which projected that spending would have reached $59 billion by now, total spending is $8 billion shy of targets.
Transport Minister Marc Garneau says he’s following the situation of Canadians still trying to get their money back from cancelled flights due to COVID-19, but is standing by his decision — at least so far — not to force airlines to offer refunds.During a House of Commons committee appearance on Tuesday, Garneau was grilled by opposition MPs about why he hasn’t ordered airlines to offer refunds, as opposed to vouchers or credits for future flights. But Garneau said airlines have been financially devastated by the pandemic and he’s trying to avoid the companies from collapsing.
If children always did sensible things, they wouldn't be children. I have seen children sneeze and cough on others and onto their hands which then go everywhere. I have seen them not wash their hands.
Don't casually suggest that they will learn proper hygiene habits from mum and dad who take their cellphones to the washroom with them and then suggest in the same breath that adults need to be steered from films for their own good.
Children returning to school this fall should not be made to wear masks, or strictly follow social distancing when socializing and playing, Canada’s largest children’s hospital recommends in a new report.
The advice from SickKids Hospital seems to veer toward the more relaxed approach taken by some European countries as they have re-opened shuttered schools, as opposed to the stricter protocols implemented in Asian nations.
(Sidebar: but one can't get one's haircut because ...)
Unless it is explained why children should always wash their hands, not cough on others, never take cellphones to the washroom and be expected to finish their homework with full penalties for not completing it, this is a waste of time and just another exercise in the horrid group-think that passes for acceptable behaviour in Year Zero.
Exactly what is achieved by accusing people of being irredeemable, of exploding a social ill and a moral evil to Chicken Little proportions, of pulling down statues of prominent persons or letting a mob of otherwise useless people set fire to things? Is this supposed to promote tolerance and fraternity?
I'm afraid that I cannot see how:
For the average person, it’s an accusation of unconscious racism that’s the most dangerous in an era when being falsely accused of racism is the modern-day equivalent of being falsely accused of communism in the age of McCarthyism.
So what does unconscious racism mean and what would it take for you to be found guilty of it by a human rights tribunal, if you were the subject, that is, the “respondent” of a complaint?
Unconscious racism means, according to an Ontario Human Rights Commission tribunal, that because “there will often be no direct evidence of discrimination; discrimination will more often be proven by circumstantial evidence and inference.”
As such, “there is no need to establish an intention or motivation to discriminate. Rather, “the effect of the respondent’s actions on the complainant” is what is significant.
(Sidebar: wait - were we always at war with Eastasia?)
**
On Monday, the Ottawa Board of Health unanimously voted to recognize racism and discrimination as a determinant of a person’s mental and physical health. Just last week, the Toronto Board of Health voted to recognize anti-Black racism as a public health crisis.
**
An online petition is calling for the removal of a statue of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi from the Carleton University campus.
Oh, there are people who won't like that:
**
The statue of Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Jews during the Holocaust, stands at the corner of Fairfax and Beverly in Los Angeles. When the racist mobs swept through the area, looting Jewish stores and defacing synagogues with "BLM" and "Free Palestine" graffiti, the statue of a man who risked his life to resist fascism and bigotry was one of their targets.
**
The protest gives a kind of cover for those who despise “the system,” as they call democracy, to act out with violent and threatening behaviours, presumably in the hope of unsettling that system. All protest isn’t protest.
I doubt very much that the guys who drove their $400,000 Rolls-Royce to the high-end shopping district of New York (it’s on Twitter) to grab the loot from Prada or Louis Vuitton, were high on “social justice” vibes or stuck for the price of a cheeseburger. ...
I think there’s great justice in the ancient idea that those who perform a crime are punished for the crime, condemned for the crime. When some small food vendor who worked for 40 years (a case from New York), sleeping above his shop, has to wake up after it has been plundered and set on fire, and by morning has nothing left for his years of labour, I do not see how that falls under “justice” or “protest.” We should weep at such scenes, weep in pity for the owner and in anger at the villains.
As for the line that destroying property is not “violence,” as a few liberated professors are arguing, sometimes property is life, as in when you spend 40 years of your life to have the property that lets you live your life. They didn’t burn a shop. They burned 40 years of that man’s life. Is that not itself violence?
What right does a government of special-interest group have to tell people that they cannot protect themselves as they see fit?:
Saskatchewan is passing legislation to block municipalities from banning handguns within their own borders, in a move supported by city mayors who said they never had any intention to do so.
The move comes in light of a federal pledge to grant cities that power. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said last month that a bill to allow municipalities to ban handguns is currently being worked on, making good on a Liberal Party campaign promise.
India’s army said on Tuesday 20 of its soldiers had been killed in clashes with Chinese troops at a disputed border site, in a major escalation of a weeks-long standoff between the two Asian giants in the western Himalayas.China’s foreign ministry confirmed there had been a “violent physical confrontation” on Monday in the border area. It made no mention of casualties but India’s foreign ministry said there had been casualties on both sides.
China is relying on the coronavirus crisis it made to ruffle some feathers.
Not clever, China.
Ditto, North Korea:
North Korea blew up an office set up to foster better ties with South Korea on Tuesday in a “terrific explosion” after it threatened to take action if North Korean defectors went ahead with a campaign to send propaganda leaflets into the North.
North Korea’s KCNA state news agency said the liaison office in the border town of Kaesong, which had been closed since January due to the coronavirus, was “completely ruined.”
The South Koreans will just get another one, stupid.
No tunnels for the average Russian, then?:
Russian President Vladimir Putin is protected from the coronavirus by special disinfection tunnels that anyone visiting his residence outside Moscow or meeting him in the Kremlin must pass through, his spokesman said on Wednesday.
One such special tunnel, manufactured by a Russian company based in the town of Penza, has been installed at Putin’s official Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow and two more in the Kremlin, said Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman.
