If you can't let go of your mask and your need to control everything, you are nothing more than a petulant child clinging to a tattered blanket. It's time to grow up.

Your middle-of-the-week demand to grow up ...
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was given a vulgar goodbye by residents of New Brunswick on Tuesday, following an announcement on long-term care in the province.
A video posted by Facebook user Frank Poiriers shows Trudeau leaving Dalhousie Hall, where several protestors can be heard shouting at him from across the street.
What a prick:
@JustinTrudeau chooses to spend Easter skiing in Whistler. He chooses not to spend Easter with his kids. If they were with him - there’d be photos. He’s despicable. pic.twitter.com/hZvYudGRpe

In other news, Rumpelstiltskin, who is not a scientist or doctor of any kind, decides for everyone else that Canada will be contrary because science is just not what Canada is about:
“We are taking a layered approach to keeping travellers safe, and masks remain an incredibly useful tool in our arsenal against COVID-19,” a spokesperson for Canada’s Transport Minister wrote in an email.
The spokesperson confirmed masks will be required on Canadian airlines and on flights that depart from or arrive in Canada. The federal government also requires travellers to wear masks and track close contacts for 14 days after arriving in Canada.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle struck down the U.S. mandate, which required masks on airplanes, trains and in taxis, among other locations, saying the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had exceeded its authority.
It's just an economy:
A majority of economists surveyed by Finder say Canada is headed for a recession, and we can expect it to hit anywhere between 2023 and the first part of 2024. Most believe it will happen during the first six months of 2023, and another quarter think it will take a year to manifest.

But almost as soon as it announced its existence, the new Fund began to look a bit ghostly. “Funding for the Canada Growth Fund will be sourced from the existing fiscal framework,” the budget document says. ...
This is handy: For every dollar this crucial new thing will cost, a dollar will be “sourced from the fiscal framework,” for a net cost of nothing in new spending.
The other thing you notice is that the total “cost” of the Fund over five years — before that cost goes away through the magic of sourcing from the fiscal framework — is $1,510 million. Which is $1.51 billion.
Which is one-tenth the $15 billion mentioned in the text.

Piecemeal payouts for compensation from the Phoenix Pay System failure continue to cost taxpayers millions. The Treasury Board detailed ongoing damages paid to former federal employees whose paycheques were garbled by computer software: “We have been dealing with the Phoenix system for six years.”

A federal program hailed by Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen as a great success in fact had “areas for improvement,” according to a CMHC report. The $200 million plan to renovate derelict federal buildings into affordable housing fell short of target in its first two years: “This seems to be a bit of a drop in the bucket.”
I'll believe it when I see it:
Ontario MP Scott Aitchison, who is running to become leader, is promising to end the controversial system that has controlled the prices of milk and eggs for decades — arguing it will help Canadian families with their grocery bills and farmers who want to grow their businesses and export around the world.
“I’ll do it because I’m not afraid to make the hard decisions,” said Aitchison in a video posted on Twitter on Wednesday. “That’s real leadership. That’s the right approach.”
Let's try electing these sad, old, white Laurentian SOBs:
Modern minds seem unaware that ruling without check or critique is not a new temptation. Or that power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But where lower courts are somewhat constrained by higher ones, the Supremes have nothing to hold them back. So in my draft Constitution I proposed a straightforward way of guarding these guardians: revive the power of impeachment so legislatures can fire judges periodically “pour encourager les autres.”
If it seems like lèse-majesté, I must remind the court that they are not Napoleonic self-crowned monarchs. After 40 years, somebody has to.
Imagine if one DID hold back these appointed busybodies. Guys like this joke would disappear.
Also:
Land titles must be signed the old fashioned way by pen and ink, a Saskatchewan judge has ruled. The Court of Queen’s Bench dismissed a challenge by a lawyer who sought to file papers with electronic signatures: “Arguments about the use of electronic signatures raise intriguing possibilities.”
Weren't we supposed to have a report by now?:
The federal government on Wednesday said it would invest $326,000 to resume ground searches for potential unmarked graves near a former Nova Scotia residential school.
Mum?
That's because Justin is good at opening his stupid mouth and nothing more:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s not going to provide more details about his government’s pledge to send a new round of military aid to Ukraine _ at least not yet.
The prime minister said Wednesday that he doesn’t want to outline the specifics of what will be sent, and where the government is getting it from, because of security concerns.
Also - are there actual Russians fighting this or have they all been expended?:
An anonymous European official in Washington claimed that the Kremlin hired between 10,000 to 20,000 mercenaries to fight in eastern Ukraine, including infantry fighters from Syria and Libya, and are said to be recruited by the Russian mercenary company, the Wagner Group.
“What I can tell you is that we did see some transfer from these areas, Syria and Libya, to the eastern Donbas region, and these guys are mainly used as a mass against the Ukrainian resistance,” the official said. “It’s infantry. They don’t have any heavy equipment or vehicles.”
Ban the veil, see the rise of the girl:
Banning the veil in schools led to Muslim girls getting better grades and marrying outside their religion, a French study has found.
State schools in France were asked to ban “ostentatious religious signs” -including Islamic veils – in 1994, but it was not forbidden by law until 2004. The ban came despite warnings from religious leaders that the law would persecute Muslims and encourage fundamentalism.
However, researchers in France have found that removing the veil in schools may have had some positive effects, including significantly improved educational outcomes for Muslim girls, as well as a rise in mixed marriages.
Prof Eric Maurin, of the Paris School of Economics and a co-author of the study, said: “For students who wore the veil, the ban may have had a negative effect on those who were most attached to it, as it may have led them to drop out of school. But the ban may also have had a positive effect on students who were forced to wear the veil, and on students suffering from stigmatization and discrimination in school because of it.”
Data from the French Labour Force Survey conducted between 2005 and 2019 was used to compare the academic accomplishments of Muslim and non-Muslim women in France.
Muslim women born between 1970-74, who would have completed school before the 1994 guidance, were 12 per cent less likely to graduate from high school than their non-Muslim peers.
