China's North American Vassal State

What a failure of a nation:

Police arrested four people in downtown Ottawa Thursday after a Canadian soldier charged for speaking out against COVID-19 vaccine requirements led a procession into the city and delivered a speech on “freedom” to a rapt crowd of about 1,200 supporters.

James Topp was charged in February with two counts of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline for comments made while wearing his uniform and has since been leading a four-month march to the capital from Vancouver.

His march has been supported by many of the same figures involved in the “Freedom Convoy” that snarled downtown Ottawa for weeks until police used force to end what they and the government described as an illegal occupation.

 

Just following orders.

Comments from a federal cabinet minister suggest a controversial government travel app is set to become permanent.

And changes quietly rolled out on Tuesday to both the ArriveCAN smartphone and its website suggest the app is being rolled into ongoing efforts to modernize Canada’s ports of entry.

Speaking in Windsor on Tuesday, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said the app — designed to ostensibly streamline entry into Canada by allowing travellers to upload proof of mandatory COVID-19 vaccination — had potential to find greater use in processing cross-border travellers.

“ArriveCAN was originally created for COVID-19, but it has technological capacity beyond that, to shrink the amount of time that is required when you’re getting screened at the border,” Mendicino told reporters.

While compliance is high, not using ArriveCAN comes with consequences.

Why does this sound familiar?
 
 
As a result of this obvious attempt to eliminate travel, Air Canada has had to cancel several flights:

Air Canada is cutting more than 15 per cent of its scheduled flights in July and August as airports face lengthy delays and cancellations amid an overwhelming travel resurgence.

The slimmed-down schedule will affect 154 flights per day on average, mainly from its Toronto and Montreal hubs, and all on domestic and Canada-U.S. routes, the company said in an email Wednesday.

The shift is marked mainly by frequency reductions that affect evening and late-night flights on smaller planes, it said. International flights remain unaffected except for some timing changes to reduce flying at peak times and even out passenger flow.

In a statement to customers, chief executive Michael Rousseau said Air Canada anticipated much of the strain now weighing on global aviation networks.

“Yet, despite detailed and careful planning, the largest and fastest scale of hiring in our history, as well as investments in aircraft and equipment, it is now clear that Air Canada’s operations too have been disrupted by the industry’s complex and unavoidable challenges,” he said.

 

It's probably something the government did. 


With higher gas prices, no fertilisers, attempts to limit (read: ban) staples, soon we will be North Korea.
