These are welfare-seekers, not asylum-seekers, and they have a wider social berth than Canadians do:
The Department of Immigration yesterday said it booked at least eleven quarantine hotels for foreigners who illegally crossed the border. It follows an abrupt fortyfold increase in illegal crossings to the highest levels since the outbreak of the pandemic: ‘The department is responsible for providing temporary accommodations to asymptomatic asylum seekers.’
Why isn't anyone screaming that they should be imprisoned?:
“A majority of Canadians have little sympathy for the unvaccinated,” said John Wright, executive vice-president of Maru Public Opinion, which conducted the poll on Jan. 14 and 15. Maru surveyed an online panel of 1,506 Canadians. A comparable probability sample of the same size has a margin of error of +/- 2.5 per cent, 19 times out of 20.
It found two-thirds of Canadians are in favour of mandatory vaccines for everyone over the age of five. Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said earlier this month that mandatory vaccinations are on the horizon, and something that provincial governments should be discussing.
The poll also asked about various punitive measures for those who would refuse a mandatory vaccination. Thirty-three per cent of the survey respondents said it would be acceptable to not allow them to renew their drivers’ licence.
Another 37 per cent said it would be ok to refuse to “allow them access to any publicly funded hospital/medical services.” More than a quarter, 27 per cent, said it would be acceptable to make them serve up to five days “as part of a jail sentence for endangering others/overwhelming (the) healthcare system.”
Wright said that with the spread of the Omicron variant, many Canadians are now experiencing a “de facto withdrawal of medical services.”
(Sidebar: the above is why I have trouble believing this poll.)
This is Canada.
It took a wave of government-induced paranoia to show the world its true colours.
When countries like the Czech Republic, Israel and the UK are beginning (and I hope that I don't speak too soon) to cast off this bullsh--, Canada digs in deeper.
The government has enjoyed lording power over people and its people have enjoyed living under the boot and making things miserable for others.
They can't go back now. It would be humiliating.
Also - can we trace your phone now?:
Public Health Agency monitoring of millions of cellphone users did no harm to privacy rights, the president of the Agency said yesterday. Dr. Harpreet Kochhar said managers at no time collected information that personally identified any of 33 million cellphone users: “No personal information was asked or was received.”
Arrogant @$$hole.
Back to SNC-Lavalin:
Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos yesterday could not explain a $150 million Covid contract from his own department to SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. The sole-sourced deal was finalized almost two years ago for “urgently” needed mobile hospitals that were never used: “We’re not getting a lot of clarity here.”
Are we sure we don't want to oust Justin over this?
This Justin and his various flunkies:
Exclusive internal emails from an Access To Information Package regarding the government's use of the Challenger jets detail a practice of staging a spare flight crew to allow Liberal cabinet ministers to avoid commercial airline travel.
The pilots for the Challenger jets, however, were expected to fly commercial to the staging city, according to planning documents. The cabinet minister using the Challenger jet to avoid regular passenger air travel was Dominic LeBlanc, the current minister of intergovernmental affairs.

The request for diplomatic clearance was denied because the trip was not related to government or diplomatic business but other government resources were expended to send Mrs. Trudeau to speak at the event organized by the scandal-plagued, Trudeau-tied WE Organization run by the Kielburger brothers.
The revelations come two years after first filing for documents relating to the trip with Global Affairs Canada. GAC finally coughed up — pun intended — the documents on Typhoid Sophie's Trudeau’s March 2020 trip to London in late December 2021.
Tonga, which experienced a walloping volcanic eruption a few days ago, has more global sway that Canada with its aging equipment and fatuous chair-moisteners occupying the House of Commons:
A Canadian warship departed for Europe and the Black Sea near Russia on Wednesday, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted to fears of a Russian invasion in Ukraine.
Trudeau went on to accuse Russia of trying to start a fight with Ukraine and promised Canada’s support to the Ukrainian people, who are on edge as 100,000 Russian troops sit on their country’s eastern border.
Yet the prime minister stopped short when asked for details, including whether the government will extend a 200-soldier Canadian training mission in Ukraine whose mandate is set to expire at the end of March.
That's because he is all-talk.
Also:
Russian troops arriving in Belarus for what Moscow and Minsk say will be joint military exercises are a direct threat to NATO member Lithuania, and could prompt Washington to station more troops in the region, Lithuania's defence minister said.

Ukranian intelligence agencies are warning that Russia has “almost completed” its build up of troops near the border and invasion appears imminent.
Ukrainian Defense Ministry latest intelligence assessment found Russia has deployed more than 127,000 troops to the region, according to an exclusive obtained by CNN.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday that Russia could launch a new attack on Ukraine at “very short notice” as he met the country’s president on the first leg of a new diplomatic push to avert war.
Russia said tension around Ukraine was increasing and it was still waiting for a written U.S. response to its sweeping demands for security guarantees from the West.
We don't have to trade with China:
A new report published by a human rights NGO has detailed the methods used by China to force thousands of fugitives to return from other countries, describing the extent of Beijing's operations on foreign soil to control the Chinese diaspora.
Spain-based NGO Safeguard Defenders highlighted three tactics sanctioned by China for this purpose — detaining the fugitive's relatives as a threat, sending agents overseas to illegally intimidate the person in question, or outright kidnapping them.
The organization compiled information related to 62 of these cases in countries including the US, Canada, Australia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates.
Official data from China suggests nearly 10,000 fugitives have been returned since 2014 under a program codenamed "Operation Sky Net" or "Tian Wang," Safeguard Defenders noted. In 2020 alone, 1,421 fugitives were extradited to China by Sky Net, Chinese state media reported, touting the operation as an anti-graft campaign.

Media directors of the Parliamentary Press Gallery yesterday met behind closed doors to consider membership for Xinhua, the official propaganda agency of the Chinese Communist Party. The Gallery said it had not discussed the matter with the Prime Minister’s Office: “The Gallery is not bound by any outside political considerations.”**
What are you hiding, Liberals? How deep does the Chinese hole go?:
Allowing MPs to read secret documents on the firing of Chinese scientists at a federal lab would be “endangering our national security,” Government House Leader Mark Holland said yesterday. Cabinet for the past year has defied multiple House orders to permit review of internal records detailing the January 20, 2021 dismissals: ‘Is that what this is about, your own hide?’
I think handing over virus samples to a communist dictatorship is a danger to Canada's national security.
Also a danger, the Liberals.

Slovenia also wants to be a honey badger:
China on Wednesday condemned plans by Slovenia to upgrade relations with self-governing Taiwan, a move likely to spark diplomatic and economic retaliation against the tiny Central European country.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said China was “shocked by this and strongly opposed to it,” but gave no immediate details on how Beijing would respond.
“It is a dangerous statement made by the Slovenian leader that overtly challenges the one-China principle and supports Taiwan independence," Zhao told reporters at a daily briefing, referring to comments Monday by Slovenia’s Prime Minister Janez Jansa.
“Canada’s new law declares that you are guilty of ‘conversion therapy’ and subject to five years in prison if you counsel your biological male child to accept his male identity,” he posted, captioning a portion of the legislation.
It's not like ANY academic institution is seriously educating anyone anymore anyway:
Second reason: This is one of many issues of appalling ideology currently demolishing the universities and, downstream, the general culture. Not least because there simply is not enough qualified BIPOC people in the pipeline to meet diversity targets quickly enough (BIPOC: black, indigenous and people of colour, for those of you not in the knowing woke). This has been common knowledge among any remotely truthful academic who has served on a hiring committee for the last three decades. This means we’re out to produce a generation of researchers utterly unqualified for the job. And we’ve seen what that means already in the horrible grievance studies “disciplines.” That, combined with the death of objective testing, has compromised the universities so badly that it can hardly be overstated. And what happens in the universities eventually colours everything. As we have discovered.
A form of academic Darwinism has painted universities not as places of higher learning but of dispensers of paper.
And now for something completely different:
The Jamaican four-man bobsled team will officially be competing next month in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics after nabbing the final qualifying spot based on this season’s international results . It’s the first time in more than two decades that the four-man crew earn a spot at the winter Olympics since the 1998 Games in Nagano, Japan.
