Mid-Week Post

 


 

Your middle-of-the-afternoon hug ...

 

Tweet of the day:


 

I never voted for any of this:

Conservative MP and leadership candidate Leslyn Lewis has launched a petition calling on the Trudeau government to decline signing the World Health Organization (WHO)’s pandemic treaty.

The International Treaty on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness, and Response was proposed by the WHO in 2021 as an “international pandemic instrument” to increase collaboration between governments at all levels. 

Lewis warns that the treaty, which includes 190 countries, “would be legally binding.”

“It defines and classifies what is considered a pandemic and would give the W.H.O. legal power over Canada’s pandemic response, including the ability to force lockdowns and dictate which drugs or vaccines can be used,” her campaign website reads.

 

Justin promised to sign over the healthcare we barely receive anyway to a foreign body, just as he sold our gold reserves to China, stymied our pipelines for foreign interests and tried replacing the US with China as our major trading partner.

At no point can anyone still claim that there is no globalist conspiracy.

Uh, yeah, there is.


 

Oh, look! Another pointless action!:

Canada on Tuesday introduced a bill in the Senate that will ban Russian President Vladimir Putin and some 1,000 other members of his government and military from entering the country as it continues to ratchet up sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine.

What about those Chinese scientists who smuggled a henipavirus out of Winnipeg?

That's Canada for you. 

 

 

"We more regulations to censor everything," whines "heritage" minister:

Rodriguez said that it’s time to “modernize” the decades-old broadcast and telecom regulator. The CRTC’s current responsibilities include issuing radio and TV broadcast licenses and determining telecom wholesale access policies. The commission operates at arm’s length from government.

Under two internet regulation bills Rodriguez has introduced in Parliament, C-11 and C-18, the CRTC will be tasked with developing and implementing new regulations for online streaming services, and overseeing news revenue sharing between online platforms and news publishers. To do that, the government is looking for a new CRTC chair, with an “ability to lead an organization through change,” it said in a job posting published online Friday.


This:

The Online Streaming Act (Bill C-11) has now passed second reading in the House of Commons and will be the subject of hearings at the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage in the coming weeks. 

(Sidebar: where was the dissent? No NDP nor  Liberal MP dissented. Not a one.)

With the prospect of user generated content regulation still a serious concern, outgoing CRTC Chair Ian Scott tried to provide assurances earlier this week that the Commission has no interest in exercising regulatory powers over user generated content. Yet Scott’s comments rang hollow as he twisted himself in a series of contradictory knots that lead to the inescapable conclusion that non-binding promises without actual reforms mean little.

 

 

It's just money:

The Receiver General last year paid more than $2.2 million in federal pension payments to dead employees, records show. Payments to dormant bank accounts totaled $23.6 million over six years with write-offs as high as 20 percent: “A request may be sent to the deceased member’s financial institutions to return payments.”

** 

The Canada Revenue Agency paid millions in unrecoverable Covid wage subsidies to tax delinquents and insolvent companies, records show. Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier disclosed the figures in the Commons: “What is the total amount of subsidy received by the companies?”

**

A $175 million annual federal tax intended to help ease housing shortages affects less than two-tenths of one percent of Canada’s shelter stock, the Department of Finance disclosed yesterday. Cabinet had called it an important measure to help families: “We have to make some big assumptions there.”

 

 

It's just your ability to feed yourself:

Canada’s main inflation gauge increased 6.8 per cent in April from a year earlier, one of the fastest rates since the early 1980s.

 

(Sidebar: when Justin's dad was ruining things.)

Some motorists insist that $2-a-litre gasoline means they'll drive a lot less, but people who study Canadians' love affair with their cars are skeptical — and they have the research to back them up.

 

Stupid Canadians and their love of going to work and doctors' offices!

What idiots! 

Nect they will complain that their children are going hungry.

Do kids have to eat everyday or something?

 

Who did you vote for, Canada? 


 

Who said that we had to trade with China?:

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi criticized on Wednesday what he called negative moves by Washington and Tokyo against Beijing ahead of a meeting in Tokyo next week of the leaders of the U.S., Japan, Australia and India. ...

Japan worries that Russia's actions could embolden China and escalate tensions in the Asia Pacific region, and quickly joined the United States and Europe in imposing sanctions against Moscow.

Hayashi expressed “serious concern over the situation" in the East and South China seas, referring to increasingly assertive Chinese military actions there, as well as in Hong Kong and China's Xinjiang region, and stressed the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

Tokyo is particularly worried about increased activity by Chinese coast guard and naval ships around Japanese-controlled East China Sea islands which Beijing also claims, and is promoting a free and open Indo-Pacific with the United States, Australia and other democracies as a counter to China's rise in the region.

 

And Wang wants to know why the Japanese are upset.

The suspect who killed one and injured five after a Taiwanese service at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California, was once a member of a U.S.-based group controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department announced that the shooting by the gunmen, 68-year-old David Wenwei Chou, was “a politically motivated hate incident.” Dr. John Cheng, a 52-year-old family practice physician, was killed when he charged at the gunman and attempted to disarm him.

Sheriff Don Barnes said that the suspect “was upset about political tensions between China and Taiwan.”

 

 

And whose idea was it to inject children with an unproved jab?:

According to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), higher COVID-19 case rates have been recorded among fully vaccinated children than unvaccinated in the age group 5-11 since February.

On Feb. 12, CDC reported a weekly case rate of 250.02 per 100,000 population in fully vaccinated children aged 5-11, compared to 245.82 for unvaccinated children in the same age group.

 

Also:

Former Ontario MPP and Conservative leadership contender, Roman Baber, in a recent email to Conservative Party members pledged to “fire Dr. Tam on day 1” if he becomes the next prime minister of Canada. 



Simply unbelievable:

The China Eastern Airlines plane crash that killed 132 people is believed to have been caused by an intentional act, according to U.S. officials who spoke to ABC News.

The Boeing 737-800 passenger jet was flying from Kunming to Guangzhou on March 21 when it plunged into a mountainous area in Guangxi, China. All 123 passengers and nine crew members were killed. ...

The officials who spoke to ABC News point to the plane's flaps not being engaged and landing gear not put down. The near-vertical descent of the plane, they believe, would've required intentional force.
