There Is Only "Transparency"

I don't know why the Liberals locked down the country. They could have easily gotten away with these Soviet-style schemes and kept the restaurants opened.

But poverty makes a great series of dependents:

The House of Commons heritage committee has been accused of “secret law-making” as it rushes to pass the controversial C-10 broadcasting bill.

This bill:

As the committee work comes to an end, it is important to recognize that there was no full study for Bill C-10 and that many witnesses – including digital first creators – were excluded altogether. However, given that the Liberals, Bloc and now effectively the NDP have supported this approach, the outcome of the vote on Bill C-10 in the House of Commons is not in doubt. The Canadian Heritage committee did not do its job. It will fall to the Senate to do theirs.

Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault faces a deadline of just eight business days to push an internet regulation bill through the House and Senate. Bill C-10 cleared the Commons heritage committee Friday under a cabinet gag order: “These are strange times.”

A bill that is so needed that Goebbels has to cheat to get it through.

Enjoy your cat videos while you can, Canada.

Also - the party of "transparency" strikes again:

The Liberal government recently deleted a biography of Canada’s first prime minister Sir John A Macdonald after the Toronto Star flagged the webpage in an article. 

As of Monday, Canadians trying to access Macdonald’s biography on Library and Archives Canada were met with an “error 404” page instead of an article about the former prime minister. 

One of the founders of this country is now an "un-person".

In a real country she would be made to answer:

Documents related to the firing of two scientists from the high-security laboratory in Winnipeg, and the transfer of viruses to a research facility in Wuhan are too sensitive to hand over to the special committee on Canada-China relations, Health Minister Patty Hajdu said Monday.

(Sidebar: history repeats itself.)

According to former colleagues, Qiu was given “relatively free rein” at the NML, and able to bring in students from China into the Level 4 lab without a security clearance. For Stéphane Bergeron of Canada’s Bloc Québécois, “It appears we have helped the Chinese military develop their own biological warfare skills.” Jack Harris of the socialist New Democratic Party also worried about collaboration between the Winnipeg laboratory and China.

In addition to the cargo of deadly pathogens from Canada, the WIV received funding from the U.S. government through the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)—a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci since 1984.

Contrary to what Fauci has maintained, the U.S. funding did contribute to gain-of-function research, which makes viruses more lethal and transmissible, and there was more U.S. funding for the WIV than he claimed. Fauci is coming under fire, and mounting evidence points to the WIV as the likely source of the virus that causes COVID-19.

Xiangguo Qiu and Keding Cheng might provide some enlightenment, but nobody seems to know their current location. If the RCMP has any clue, they aren’t talking. Despite the official stonewalling, it seems clear that the Wuhan Institute of Virology bosses got what they wanted, and Qiu and Cheng got away scot-free. If anybody in Canada or the United States were to think their country was far too compliant with communist China, it would be hard to blame them.

And:

The Canada Border Services Agency yesterday confirmed it’s opening an Office of Biometrics under the largest surveillance scheme in the country’s history. Exit Information Regulations will see the Agency use computer chips embedded in new passports to monitor every citizen who travels out of Canada. In-house research identified widespread opposition to the program: “What more information would they want?”

The taxpayer-owned Canada Infrastructure Bank is in breach of a committee order for disclosure of million-dollar bonuses it paid executives. The Bank refused comment on why it concealed details of executive pay sought by the Commons transport committee: ‘Why do you think you should be able to keep your compensation secret from taxpayers?’
