Your middle of the week dietary selection ...
The process is the punishment:
The Justice Centre is pleased to announce that the Crown has dropped charges against former MPP Randy Hiller, former MP Derek Sloan, Pastor Heinrich Hildebrandt, and private citizen, Dan Stasko. The four men were allegedly involved in peaceful rallies against Covid measures in June 2021 and were charged with violating public health orders under the Reopening Ontario Act. After negotiations with
After negotiations with Bally Hundal, a lawyer retained by the Justice Centre, the Crown dropped all charges, stating that prosecution was no longer in the public interest.
Ontario has implemented lockdowns since the beginning of the pandemic and placed significant restrictions on the right to peaceful protest. In June 2021, the four men were charged for participating in a peaceful demonstration in Norfolk, Ontario. There were approximately 200-300 people at this outdoor demonstration against the Covid measures implemented by the Ontario government.
Mr. Hillier, Mr. Sloan, Pastor Hildebrandt and Mr. Stasko were concerned with the Covid restrictions – health orders which significantly curtailed the right to peaceful protest. For exercising their Charter rights to assemble peacefully and protest the government measures, they were charged with offences carrying potential fines of $100,000 to each individual as well as up to one year in prison.
“Peaceful demonstration is an essential pillar of a democratic society,” says Justice Centre lawyer Henna Parmar. “Citizens have the right to make their opinions known. We are pleased in this case to hear that the Crown will not proceed with prosecuting citizens who spoke out against harsh government lockdowns.”
It's probably because the app was an expensive, ineffective political tool imagined by tyrants in pressed suits:
According to a document tabled in the House of Commons last week, between Jan. 1 and Aug. 31, a total of 1,651,900 travellers had “presented themselves at the border for entry into Canada without having submitted their public health information through ArriveCAN prior to arrival.” That number accounts for about 4.3 per cent of the 38.5 million individuals who entered Canada via air or land from the start of the year to Sept. 11.

In January of 2022, 126,674 people failed to use the app before they arrived. That number then dropped to 50,176 in February before increasing again, to a total of 401,176 in July and 386,445 in August.
A spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency wasn’t able to, by deadline, provide updated information about how many of those travellers would have benefitted from the one-time exemption the government quietly introduced over the summer. The agency also doesn’t keep track of how many people fill out the app after they arrive at the border.
Also - no, you followed the "basic dictatorship" of your favourite country:
Cabinet followed the science in repealing the last travel-related mask and vaccine mandates, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said yesterday. The remark came as one federal scientist warned hospitalization rates remained high with “continued growth” of infections this fall: “The pandemic is not over, you know.”
He is simply the worst prime minister this country has ever had.
And:
More than 33,000 travelers have had smartphones, laptops and tablets searched by the Canada Border Services Agency, documents show. Searches peaked just prior to a successful legal challenge that struck random searches as unconstitutional: “How many searches involving the viewing of contents on individuals’ electronic devices has the Border Services Agency conducted?”

The RCMP yesterday confirmed it emailed a blacklist of Freedom Convoy sympathizers to lobbyists like the Mutual Fund Dealers Association for distribution to members. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland had claimed the blacklisting was “really targeted.”
**
Constitutional lawyers have filed a legal challenge on behalf of a municipal councillor censured for attending the Freedom Convoy protest. Harold Jonker, an Ontario trucking company manager, said he was proud to be among the first truckers to join the January 28 protest outside Parliament Hill: “In Canada we must tolerate strong differences of political opinion.”
Your awful government and you:
Ian Shugart, a longtime bureaucrat and the country’s top civil servant during the first part of the COVID-19 pandemic, has been tapped for a seat in the Senate.
Privy Council clerk Ian Shugart told the House of Commons finance committee Tuesday that only about one per cent of the documents were redacted to protect cabinet confidences.

The House of Commons information, ethics and privacy committee plans to look at Canada’s much-maligned access-to-information regime — the latest in a long line of studies of a system intended to make government more transparent.
Article content
Conservative MP Pat Kelly, the committee chairman, says the system is plagued by excessive delays and a culture of secrecy that has been “baking in for decades.”

Nearly 90 per cent of federal public sector executives, as well as thousands of other federal bureaucrats, went home with $190 million in total bonuses in 2021-2022.

The bonuses represent an 11 per cent jump from the previous year ($171 million), which coincided with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Media subsidies have provoked historic mistrust of reporters, the Commons heritage committee was told yesterday. The best-known federal subsidy, a $595 million payroll rebate and tax credit scheme for cabinet-approved publishers, expires in 2024: “People who today think media are toadying up to the Liberal government will at some point in the future believe they are toadying up to someone else. It doesn’t really matter whether they are or they aren’t. What matters is people won’t believe them.”
Oh, but the well-funded popular press IS Justin's best friend.
Can someone that stupid and annoying escape scrutiny only in Canada and nowhere else?
She is so in touch with the finances of the nation that she (allegedly) had to hear about this from the news:
Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier says she was never told of allegations of corrupt practices involving Canada Revenue Agency corporate tax settlements. Lebouthillier said she first learned of one case through media: “The Minister became aware of the issue when it entered the public sphere.”
A reminder:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s World Economic Forum-linked finance minister told Canadians on Tuesday that record-high fuel prices are a “reminder of why climate action is so important and why as a country we need to work even harder and move even faster towards a green economy.”
“It’s an insurance policy against higher energy prices,” Liberal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said at a press conference.
The journalist will, no doubt, eat well this Thanksgiving, unlike Canadians who need to be cushioned with higher prices and taxes.
Rising interest rates will see a doubling of federal debt charges within four years, Budget Officer Yves Giroux last night warned the Senate banking committee. New figures indicate interest on the federal debt will eclipse the military budget next year and keep on rising: “That is something that will have a major impact on public finances.”
It's not Justin's dad's money that is being wasted.
The entirety of China is run by communist slave-holders who abuse their own people.
Why not stop trading with China?
Legislation expected to pass Parliament would name and shame Canadian corporations that import slave-made goods, the Commons foreign affairs committee was told yesterday. Suspicious products include China-made cotton apparel, solar panels and tomato paste, according to human rights activists: “Surely in the 21st century it should be clear we cannot base our prosperity on forced labour.”
Was it something he said and did?:
The Saskatchewan NDP has cancelled plans to invite federal leader Jagmeet Singh to its convention following what some sources described as a heated debate over whether the federal party is hurting the provincial party’s electoral success.
Also - no, idiots, prices go up because of costs, taxes and inflation:
The federal New Democrats want the government to look into Canada’s major grocery chains to find out whether corporations have been taking advantage of inflation to turn a profit amid rising food prices.

It's all about dignity ... or something:
Calgary-based Enbridge Inc. has signed an agreement with 23 First Nation and Metis communities to sell an 11.57 per cent interest in seven pipelines located in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta for $1.12 billion.
The deal is the largest energy-related Indigenous economic partnership transaction in North America to date, the pipeline company said Wednesday.
Let's remember how government-run healthcare works in this country:
My neighbour gave birth late last January. She refused the vax. Her ob/gyn announced because she refused the vax he would not deliver her baby. She literally had no doctor who would see her for the last trimester of her pregnancy. She did find a midwife one week before she gave birth but when she went into labour the midwife was with another woman and so they called an ambulance. The ambulance took her to the hospital but when they arrived in the ambulance bay not one staff member would come down to attend her and they refused to let her into the hospital because she was unvaxxed. She gave birth in the ambulance attended by the paramedics while it was sitting in the ambulance bay of the hospital while her husband was sitting outside in his car listening to her give birth via the cell phone. After the baby was born, staff in full PPE gear finally showed up but only to take the baby away and put him in the NICU in isolation for 14 days because he had been exposed to an unvaxxed. The husband went into the ambulance bay and helped his wife and new baby into their car and they went home to threats of having social services after them. The health nurse that was supposed to do home visits refused to come because they were unvaxxed. Social services never showed up.
The couple complained about how she was treated but they covered for each other saying the birth was precipitous and the couple left AMA. She was in that ambulance bay for 30 minutes before she gave birth.
"Screw you, Justin!" Alberta said:
In a bid for assistance with the firearm confiscation program, federal Minister of Public Safety Marco Mendicino issued a direct request for support from the Kenney government in Alberta.
“I am writing to seek your support in implementing the buyback program,” Mendicino pleaded in a secret letter to Alberta’s government. He added that his office would be working directly with policing authorities to successfully implement the “buyback program.”
To make a long story short, the Alberta government declined.
Alberta’s Minister of Justice, Tyler Shandro announced today in a press conference that he will obstruct the gun grab by any means necessary. His office, in a coordinated response to Trudeau, issued orders to the K-Division expressly directing them to ignore federal orders on the matter.
I'm sure it's nothing to be concerned with:
A series of unusual leaks on two natural gas pipelines running from Russia under the Baltic Sea to Germany triggered concerns about sabotage Tuesday, overshadowing the inauguration of a long-awaited pipeline that will bring Norwegian gas to Poland to bolster Europe’s energy independence from Moscow.

Seismic stations Sweden, Norway and Finland registered two explosions Monday near the leaks.

U.S. military officials said Monday that a Chinese missile cruiser, two other Chinese navy ships, and four Russian naval vessels were spotted near the coast of Alaska.
The Chinese missile cruiser was seen about 85 miles north of Alaska’s Kiska Island on Sept. 19, according to the U.S. Coast Guard in a statement.
This isn't Canada, Russia. You can't just hold a Japanese citizen ad infinitum and rough him up until the Americans come for him:
Japan’s government on Tuesday demanded an apology from Russian authorities for “coercively” detaining a Japanese consulate official, who was accused of espionage and ordered to leave Russia.
