Four more shopping days until HALLOWEEN ...
Horde that toilet paper, children.
You have an important task ahead of you:
In a recent Leger poll, only 44 per cent of Canadian households said they will be handing out candy this Halloween and about 41 per cent of BC households said they would keep up the tradition this year.
Ask one's self this: how many idiots gaze at their cell phones while using the toilet?
Would you shake their hands?
Probably.
But don't handed out wrapped candy to children for some reason!
Your incompetent, opportunistic and sycophantic government and you:
Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations. Countries only turn 150 once — but Melanie, as minister responsible, turned ours into an unmitigated fiasco. Indigenous youth protested it, and citizens hated it, and even wrote to me about it. A sampling: “I have never seen such a poor, chaotic display. Shame on you Ottawa.” And: “Please, (Minister Joly), I beg you to step out of your protective shell and acknowledge what a mess Canada Day was and take some responsibility for it.” And: “Time for you to resign!” Ouch.
The Netflix fiasco. Melanie gifted the streaming giant tax-free status for a piddling amount of investment in Canada’s cultural sector — including in her home province, Quebec. The media weren’t impressed. The Globe and Mail said Melanie’s “fall from grace has been swift and merciless, sped by her maladroit attempts to sell a deal with Netflix.” The National Post noted that she had been “savaged in Quebec media, artistic and political circles.” And her hometown paper, the Journal de Montreal, said she sounds “like a living answering machine having a nervous breakdown.” Double ouch.
Ottawa Holocaust Monument. Melanie commissioned one, but she forgot something. The Washington Post noticed: “(Joly) forgot to mention Jews on the new Holocaust monument dedication plaque.” Oops.
(Sidebar: the silly b!#ch regards "inclusion" as one of her first tasks.)

Ottawa’s deputy chief oil and gas regulator, Kathy Penney, says she has avoided all dealings with a major energy company that employs her son. Penney in federal ethics filings also said she would avoid “any communication with government officials” regarding TransCanada Energy Corporation: ‘My son Ben participates in a performance share unit program.’
**
The Department of Transport gave favoured suppliers the inside track on sweetheart contracts, according to a review by Procurement Ombudsman Alexander Jeglic. “It appears Transport Canada treated bidders unfairly,” wrote Jeglic. “Some received more relevant information than others."
Imagine a government boot stamping on an opinion forever:
Free speech advocates are demanding Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault disclose the findings of a two-month public consultation on internet censorship. Guilbeault’s office earlier acknowledged it did not receive a single letter of support for first-ever web regulations: ‘Government is keeping this hidden from the public.’
**
The federal privacy commissioner wasn’t consulted by the Liberal government in developing its online harms bill, proposed legislation that experts say could significantly impact Canadians’ privacy.
No, Goebbels is not done.
This would end if people simply told the government to go and f--- itself.
Stop taking its handouts (even if that IS our money).
The government imposed a lockdown of an entire country and silenced its critics. What do you think it will do to you?:
A cabinet policy to ban Canada Summer Jobs subsidies for pro-life groups appears headed for the Supreme Court after federal judges issued contradictory rulings on free expression. Legal challenges date from 2017: “The most sinister threat to free speech is compelled speech.”
Big Aboriginal will have its hands busy:
The Vatican says Pope Francis is willing to visit Canada where Indigenous leaders have been calling on him to apologize for the Catholic Church's role in residential schools.
A pointless endeavour, really.
Big Aboriginal i$ not out for apologie$.
**
Former prime minister Jean Chretien says the abuse of Indigenous children that took place in Canadian residential schools while he was minister of Indian affairs was never brought to his attention at the time.
**
This:
The man who wrote the commentary on which a controversial radio ad claiming to debunk the "myths" of residential schools was based says he attended one himself and he stands by his opinions.
This isn't problematic at all!:
While a key architect of the Toronto 18 terrorism plot to detonate truck bombs in Toronto is pushing for more access to electronics while out of prison, the parole board is worried that requiring him to give his computer passwords to his parole supervisor might violate his rights.
The right not to have one's legs sheared off by homemade bomb filled with ball bearings is not absolute, as one can plainly see.
Also:
The Munich Higher Regional Court has imprisoned a German woman for 10 years after hearing she stood idly by as a 5-year-old Yazidi "slave" girl was left to die of thirst in the sun.
You can let in thousands of unvetted, illiterate and intolerant Afghans but you might entertain the idea of letting North Korean defectors who will learn English and make something of themselves?:
A human rights organization says Canadians will be able to sponsor people fleeing North Korea under a new program to help refugees escaping Kim Jong Un's authoritarian regime.
HanVoice says a pilot program being launched next February will allow Canadian citizens to sponsor women and children who have fled to a neighbouring country, such as Thailand.
Refugees who head to China from North Korea are sent back if caught, while those who make it to Thailand have no official status.
HanVoice says the pilot program will start next February with sponsorship of five families who have already fled to Thailand.
How many illegal migrants were never returned to the US, the first port of safety for those claiming persecution?
And why would women be reluctant to get these shots?:
As Hamilton continues to lag behind 30 other Ontario public health units in COVID-19 vaccination rates, a local OB-GYN says he’s seeing more ‘troubling’ metrics among would be mothers hesitant to get vaccinated.
McMaster University OB-GYN chair and Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) obstetrician Dr. Jon Barrett says a heightened concern for what’s being put into their bodies appears to be the driver of an inoculation rate lower than 60 per cent among soon to be moms.
Coincidental anecdotal observation that I am going to look into...
— Dr Scott McLachlan (@Dr_ScottMc) October 20, 2021
All the mothers of this cluster of babies received covid jabs DURING gestation...
I don't like coincidence.
Also:
While many parents were overjoyed at the news that Health Canada is considering approval of the first COVID-19 vaccine for kids age five to 11 in Canada, parents like Hubert are feeling more trepidatious, and public health officials said they are going to have a much more nuanced conversation with parents about vaccination than they did with adults.
That will include these facts, no doubt:
Dickson collected screenshots of the federal government’s data on their website that showed between October 2 and October 16 that the number of children under the age 12-years-old who have received at least one vaccine is slowly decreasing over time.
It should be noted that children under 12 are still not eligible for the vaccine as of today, along with the fact that only 18 Canadians have died who were between the ages of 0-19. ...
Of course, children under 12 are not being given the vaccine then returning it the next day cause they didn’t like it anymore. The explanation for what this decrease is happening has to be either deliberate manipulation of the data or deep flaws in the data that the government is not providing a reason for.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) altered a key portion of its website last week around the time it disclosed to Congress that experiments it funded in China met the definition of gain-of-function.
The federal agency had a detailed explanation of gain-of-function research on its site, noting that the term refers to any research “that modifies a biological agent so that it confers new or enhanced activity to that agent.”
But the explanation was wiped between Oct. 19 and Oct. 21—possibly ahead of the NIH’s most recent disclosures on Oct. 20 about research it funded in China that increased the potency of a virus by modifying it.
The updated page now says, in its only reference to that type of research, that research involving enhanced potential pandemic pathogens (ePPPs) “is a type of so-called ‘gain-of-function’ (GOF) research.” It claims that “the vast majority of GOF research does not involve ePPP and falls outside the scope of oversight required for research involving ePPPs.”
Imagine a virus so deadly that it causes mass firings of medical professionals, law enforcement officers, various workers and exposes ordinary people for the petty, obnoxious, informing commissars that they always were:
- Calgary Police Service Chief Mark Neufeld said the pandemic is still adding to a front-line staffing strain.
-
Health officials are continuing to urge caution as Alberta appears to have avoided a Thanksgiving-induced spike in COVID-19 cases. - Alberta reported 442 new cases and 12 deaths on Tuesday.
- Four Alberta doctors are launching a lawsuit against Alberta Health Services and its president in opposition to the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy for staff.

Threatening unvaccinated federal employees with loss of pay, health benefits or their jobs is constitutional, says legal counsel with the Department of Health. The new opinion contradicts a previous statement by the same department that mandatory immunization was legally impossible in Canada: “It cannot be made mandatory because of the Canadian Constitution.”
**
Ontario's education minister says 50,000 people could lose their jobs if the province mandated COVID-19 vaccines for education workers.
Responding to the NDP in question period today, Stephen Lecce said such a policy would mean pink slips for tens of thousands of educators when Ontario already faces staffing challenges.
**
As law enforcement officers, we already face higher levels of stress and mental illnesses due to the nature of our work. These have been compounded – considerably – by mandates that we believe are deeply unethical, threatening our livelihood, and dividing society.
As federal employees, what is being done to mitigate this stress? Moreover, what assurances are we given that the injections will not cause short or long-term side effects? What steps will be taken to ensure members are compensated for adverse side effects?
**
The Ontario Superior Court has issued an interim injunction against the University Health Network’s (UHN) attempts to terminate a group of unvaccinated employees.
This comes after six UHN employees — some of them nurses — brought forward an urgent motion to the court on Friday afternoon, the deadline UHN set to terminate those who had not yet received the COVID-19 vaccine.

B.C.’s health minister called Tuesday a “solemn day” as 4,090 health care workers missed the deadline for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination and were placed on unpaid leave before they could potentially lose their job.
**
The Lachine Hospital will be closing its emergency room overnight starting Nov. 7, the McGill University Health Centre confirmed on Monday.
“ER will be opened from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. seven days a week. The ICU will also close,” said MUHC spokesperson Gilda Salomone.
That's one way to cover up for decades of mismanagement.
Blame it on COVID!
Also - "freedom" and "transparency":
An Ottawa mom has been legally banned from telling her 14-year-old son not to get the COVID-19 vaccines and prohibited by court order from showing him online information that calls into question the safety or efficacy of the vaccines.

A World Health Organization scientist wanted for questioning by the Commons health committee instead granted an interview to the subsidized press in Ottawa. Dr. Bruce Aylward, a Canadian epidemiologist who’d praised China, made no mention of the parliamentary summons: “The mission was a success.”
There is a sound reason to have never joined the EU in the first place:
Poland's Constitutional Tribunal has ruled that Polish law takes precedence over European Union law. The landmark ruling, which seeks to reassert national sovereignty over certain judicial matters, has called into question the legitimacy of the EU's supranational legal and political order.
We don't have to trade with China:
An Indian diplomat’s microphone conspicuously cut out during a United Nations (U.N.) transport conference in Beijing last week just as the envoy began to criticize China’s infrastructure-building Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Press Trust of India (PTI) reported Wednesday.

Boston Celtics player Enes Kanter’s pro-Tibet statements have garnered backlash for the National Basketball Association in China, with his team’s games pulled from broadcasts just two years after the league became a flashpoint in U.S.-China relations.
As of Thursday morning in Hong Kong, internet giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. removed all live-streaming for upcoming Celtics games, leaving fans confused and inquiring in the comment section of its sports page. The NBA and its China arm didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment from Bloomberg News. Tencent also didn’t respond.

Russian and Chinese warships held their first joint patrols in the western Pacific Ocean over the past week, Russia's defence ministry said on Saturday, a move Japan said it was monitoring.
