Your churning river of the work-week ...
Fresh from his leadership victory, MP Girl Name jumps into being a douchebag:
“I won the leadership of the Conservative Party as a pro-choice Conservative MP, one with a strong mandate. That’s how I’m going to lead as the leader of the Opposition,” O’Toole said.
Because girls love it when you tell them that they want abortions (well, Canadian girls do).
Way to lose and split the vote there, Girl Name.
Any "male" politician who supports abortion is a pig who looks at women one way.
Also - no, Leslyn, walk away while you still can:
Leslyn Lewis, who came third place to Erin O’Toole and Peter MacKay during the last Conservative Party leadership race, will run in the next election, a senior campaign source confirmed with Global News.
Lewis has not yet determined which riding she will be running for, they said.
“She is 100 per cent committed to running and helping build the party and grow the party,” Steve Outhouse, her campaign manager, said to the Canadian Press.
This means nine out of ten Canadians would prove Darwin right:
More than 76 per cent of respondents in the Statistics Canada survey indicated they would likely get inoculated if and when a vaccine is ready. Yet 14 per cent said they were somewhat or very unlikely to do so. Nine per cent remained unsure.
Those who indicated they were unlikely to get a vaccine were asked to identify the reasons for their reluctance. More than half cited a lack of confidence in its safety while a similar number said they were worried about potential risks and side effects.
About one-quarter of respondents, who were allowed to give more than one answer, said they did not consider it necessary to get the vaccine while about 10 per cent indicated they did not believe in vaccines at all.
Keep in mind this comes from a government that would have to have a complex brain in order to be stupid, that it has trusted the Chinese military complex to create a vaccine and that, as of yet, no one has created and successfully tested a vaccine for the common cold.
So there's that.
Also - another foray into junk science "strangely" enough produces bullies and anti-science miscreants:
The dispute began when Cantor posted an essay on the listserv complaining that “extremists” were unfairly castigating people who questioned some tenets of the transgender movement, such as that children who identify with another gender can begin transitioning before puberty.
The essay referenced Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who herself drew the ire of many in the trans community when she wrote that sex is undeniably tied to biology.
Some of those who commented on Cantor’s essay accused him of encouraging hatred or even violence toward trans people.
I am shocked to hear this. Oh, wait - I'm not.
And?:
The number of illicit drug deaths in B.C. well exceeded 100 in July, marking the fifth consecutive month where provincial totals surpassed triple digits.
(Sidebar: aren't those publicly funded injection sites working?)
People make the choice to ruin their bodies and governments make the choice to enable them.
That's Canada for you.
HA!:
The Canada Revenue Agency will launch an audit pilot project to see if fraudulent applications are a problem within the Trudeau government’s $82.3 billion flagship COVID-19 corporate aid program.
What? The government wasted money? I refuse to hear it!:
Federal auditors have cited a Crown corporation, the National Arts Centre, for sloppy budgeting. Directors failed to set aside funds for necessary maintenance and repairs even after charging taxpayers a quarter-billion for renovations. Cost overruns at the concert hall once prompted two parliamentary investigations: ‘It doesn’t match London or Paris.’
Lawyers for Meng Wanzhou have lost a legal battle to have certain documents released to them:
The legal team for a Huawei executive facing extradition to the United States has lost its battle to have the contents of six confidential documents released to them.
Meng Wanzhou‘s defence team argued in Federal Court that the redacted documents would support its position that Meng suffered an abuse of process during her arrest at Vancouver’s airport in 2018.
Meng is wanted in the United States on fraud charges, which she and Huawei deny.
In a ruling dated Aug. 21 but released on Tuesday, Justice Catherine Kane said the court found the information contained in the documents is not relevant to the allegations of abuse described by Meng’s legal team.
I'll just leave this right here.
Also - yeah, right:
Canada is the only member of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network that has not formally blocked Huawei from 5G networks, but it has effectively done just that, delaying a decision long enough to force telecom companies to exclude the Chinese gear maker.
The strategy allows Canada to keep on the right side of both China and the United States as they tussle over Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, say six well-placed sources with direct knowledge of the matter.
This China:
Top Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi on Saturday asked national security adviser Suh Hoon for support in intensifying diplomatic tensions with the U.S.
This South Korea:
The Sarang Jeil Church, which recently emerged as a hotbed of mass coronavirus infections, hit back at President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday, criticizing him for making groundless accusations that the religious group obstructed the government’s antivirus fight.
Congrats to #MoonJaeIn for spotlight by world-class weekly mag @TheEconomist, following rebuke for suppression of free speech & human rights by @UNHumanRights, @hrw, @HRF, @RSF_inter. "South Korea’s liberal rulers unleash their inner authoritarians" 1/ https://t.co/II2878zosz

As opposed to North Korea. This North Korea:
A woman in a forced labor brigade, or dolgyokdae, working on a northern section of the Pyongyang-Manpo-Hyesan railway line committed suicide earlier this month after being repeatedly sexually assaulted by her superior, according to source in North Hamgyong Province on Friday.
