But Wait! There's More!

 

 

 

Coming soon: judgments against Michael Spavor and Robert Schellenberg from "courts" as corrupt as ours. 

  

Also:

A legal activist who lamented the “shameful history” of John A. Macdonald and opposed citizenship tests is now a federal judge. Avvy Yao-Yao Go had been director of a Toronto law clinic that criticized Canadians for "anti-China sentiment and white supremacy."

 

And:

Chinese spies are trying to take advantage of a visa program for those trying to escape Hong Kong, The Times of London reported.

Why would this even be a debate?:

Opposition MPs propose a federal law endorsed in principle by all parties to ban imports of slave-made goods. Two similar private Liberal bills lapsed in the last Parliament and Senate banking committee: “I’m really shocked.”

The rising side effect numbers from the flu shots one will be forced to take. 

Also - what's this? Popular discontent? In Canada?:

Just 40% of NCC respondents feel this “early election is necessary.”

(Sidebar: this.)

A whopping 99% answered that Trudeau does not deserve a majority government.

99% of grassroots Canadians are worried about the expansion of state censorship powers via Bills C-10, C-36, and other reported and rumoured legislation. ...

The NCC also asked: “Now that Canada is setting belated vaccine uptake records, would you support ‘vaccine passport’ restrictions on the day-to-day life of your fellow Canadians?” A resounding 84% said no.

When asked if they could vote for a politician who supports those kinds of restrictions, 79% of respondents said no.

A commanding 91% of respondents said they would not support any more lockdowns in the coming fall or winter.

 

And: 

Health care workers are warning that Iran’s health care system could collapse in the coming days and create a human catastrophe like what happened in India in April and May. But state media show a very different picture. 

An amateur video posted on social media on August 4 shows massive overcrowding at the Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad, in the northeast of Iran. The video, taken by a patient’s relative, shows wards and corridors packed to capacity, with some patients being treated in the hospital’s garden. Doctors in the city of 3 million people have warned the situation is unmanageable.

 

 Also - you're right to refuse the "help" of a graphic arts designer, Jason. What does she know about any of this?:

“We’re not going to … take lectures from Minister Hajdu, particularly when it appears that she and her boss (Prime Minister) Justin Trudeau are hell-bent on a federal election campaign,” Kenney said Friday at a news conference in Bowden, Alta., about drought support for farmers.

“If they really are that concerned about COVID, then why is she getting ready to put up campaign signs?”

Kenney went on to describe Hajdu’s letter as a political ploy and criticized her handling of COVID-19 in the early days of the pandemic.

 

Hajdu is as useless and as contrary as the NDP. 

 

Uh-oh:

An envelope addressed to Pope Francis containing three pistol bullets has been seized in a mail sorting facility close to the northern Italian city of Milan, police said on Monday.

I'll leave this here: 

A Rwandan immigrant in France already under investigation for setting the Nantes cathedral on fire last year has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a Roman Catholic priest, prosecutors said on Monday.

The 40-year-old man surrendered to police mid-morning and admitted to killing the head of the religious congregation where he was staying as he awaited trial for the cathedral fire.

 

Did anyone find out who burned those churches?

Also - what isn't news is the fact that the commenters are silly people who clearly think that the Vatican has some sort of magical money-growing orchard behind the Castel Sant'Angelo (just like a little bit of inflation never hurt anyone, eh?) but that one article allows comments and the other does not:

Why is that, I wonder?

Kim Jong-Un's sister will not like this:

South Korea and the United States will begin preliminary military drills on Tuesday, the Yonhap news agency reported on Monday, despite North Korea's warning that the exercises would dent signs of an inter-Korean thaw.

 

They did not forget.
