Klaus Is My Hero

“…….whether it comes from frustration, anger or disconnection, there are people in Canada right now who need to lash out at who ever they see who’s in charge.” Words from a year end Trudeau interview. And while the Toronto Star congratulated itself on the obvious merits of enrolling Susan Delacourt to engage the Prime Minister on issues of interest, we can say without fear of contradiction that Ms. Delacourt failed to throw out one hardball question. College undergraduates would have delivered more. In that somewhat awkward Trudeau assessment of fellow Canadians he tells the real story of a Prime Minister lost in his own labyrinth of political passages and secret chambers.

First the frustration. Many of his fellow Canadians remain frustrated by his abject hatred of those who don’t embrace his way of thinking. They remain frustrated by his congratulations to the people of Quebec for their enthusiastic acceptance of Covid 19 vaccinations, “not like the people in other parts of Canada.” Some Canadians are frustrated by his propensity to hide legislative plans, and excuse his own mistakes even when they become obvious embarrassments. He continues with words and actions to proselytize racist division among Canadians. In his Star interview he did it again with a racist dig at the Leader of the Opposition. Pierre Poilievre, he said, is merely pining for a time “..where men were men and white men ruled.” Totally uncalled for and nonsensical and said in anger.

Only an angry, frustrated man would lash out at fellow citizens and call them despicable names as the Prime Minister has done many times. He’s angry because a year ago his frustration to clear the streets of Ottawa forced him to use heavily armed mercenaries and dogs and tasers when he knew a negotiated settlement was a viable option. He’s angry because despite the millions of tax dollars he hands the so called ‘scribblers of the fourth estate’, embarrassing stories are still leaking out forcing a few of the bribed scribes to occasionally write somewhat critically. And currently he is so angry about accelerating Western challenges to his princely reign that when he travelled to Saskatoon, January 16 for consultations about rare earth minerals with industry leaders, he failed to invite Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe to join the consultations. Trudeau’s apology sounded as hollow as “this simply wasn’t my fault.”

But the most harm Justin Trudeau is causing every Canadian is his unequivocal statement “..that there is no Canadian ‘business case’ for oil and gas.” In fact, that statement from the Prime Minister magnifies his disconnection from reality.

Disconnection, the third word taken from the Trudeau interview. His word not ours! Recently two politicians, leaders of two very wealthy countries, came calling. Both came to see Prime Minister Trudeau about doing something positive about Canada’s great potential for the manufacture of Liquefied Natural Gas. And their desperate need for LNG. The gentlemen represented countries adversely affected by the Russian decision to invade Ukraine. And Canada could make a difference. They came to Canada because they thought we cared.

.

It’s a fact that ninth grade students with a shaky handle on math could immediately see the Connection. They could see the billions of dollars that Canada would realize if it put shoulder to the wheel and moved to sow good relations with two wealthy members of the G7 and reap viable, praiseworthy rewards for Canada. What happened? The Prime Minister in his lofty intellect talked with both men about decarbonizing. And then gave the Chancellor of Germany and the Prime Minister of Japan the ‘bums rush.’ The disconnection is real. Trudeau’s obsession with his ‘global warming’ ambitions has blocked this country’s lucrative future. So why would Canada refuse to fire up a profitable LNG business?

Because Justin Trudeau’s hero is Klaus Schwab. Schwab is of the W.E.F. (World Economic Forum.) He and his cronies including Canada’s deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland were in Davos Switzerland last week, each arriving via private jet. They were there to “warn of the dangers of gas stoves, extol the moral issue of eating bugs not meat and the need to recalibrate our understanding of free speech.” Exactly the program designed to reset this country step for step with the Klaus Schwab club.

How destructive is Trudeau’s disconnection with reality? Germany just signed a 15 year contract with Qatar to buy 2 million tonnes of LNG annually. The Japanese continue their search.

O CANADA!

Daddy delivers a Broadside

The Prime Minister of Canada just stood there, wearing the full role of a vassal to his Liege who then delivered his displeasure by rebuking, the vassal for leaking their recent conversations. Not only was the confrontation extraordinary it was very public! The Chairman of China, in Bali where Potentates, Presidents and Prime Ministers met this year at what they call the G-20 delivering an unvarnished polemic to Canada’s PM in the full view of many G-20 delegates and Media from around the world. XI accused Trudeau of inappropriately leaking the content of their conversations. The Chinese leader indicated their discussions were secret and Trudeau should have understood that. Trudeau interrupted the Chairman to deliver a typical Trudeau platitude. Quoth he, “Canada believes in free and open and frank dialogue.” The Chairman brushed off Trudeau’s attempt at justification. Has probably heard them all! Not surprising Chairman Xi claimed that what Trudeau leaked to the Media was not the accurate reflection of their conversation and although we cannot be sure of all that was said going from (Xi to trans-later to Trudeau back to XI) you receive a very strong indication that the inaccuracies Trudeau’s version shared with the Media made the Chairman angry because somewhere in the coverage of the confrontation Chairman Xi is said to have delivered to Trudeau a threat.

One conclusion among many you can draw from the “Confrontation In Bali” is the headline ,”What does the Xi rebuke mean for Canada’s relations with China? More to the point and much more important to Canadians is, “how much of a Chinese province have we become?” Buttress that question with Trudeau’s obvious dependency on his partnership of platitudes,” we believe in free and open and frank dialogue.” Yes many Canadians believe with sincerity in the importance of “free, open and frank dialogue,”. The Prime Minister does not. If he had been on the ball Trudeau should have been able to wow Chairman Xi with several pro-China “open and shut “examples of his government’s ability, with the help of the subsidized Canadian Media, to hide illegal Chinese operations on Canadian soil: (1) Chairman Xi we were able to bury the information about 11 Canadian politicians elected to our Parliament with Chinese money support, and we’re still stonewalling that one: 2) At the same time we were able to ignore several intelligence reports claiming your government had established three Chinese police stations on Canadian soil, We had that one buried for months by simply telling Canadians it wasn’t happening. Some Dutch whistle blower blew the cover; 3) and remember Canada voted with Beijing on the question of the Uyghers. You must recall I rejected the idea of confirming that the on going human rights issues in Xinjiang province against the Uyghers was genocide. Remember Chairman Xi my clever out on that one, “the term genocide needs to be properly justified and demonstrated”; 4) more recently My Liege we were able to hide from the Canadian people approval of a major 105 million dollar contract to the World Economic Forum. We know how you value the WEF abilities to infiltrate; 5) and in August we surprised everyone with plans to revamp of Canada’s digital infrastructure, It’s called the digital Identity program. Some critics claim it’s a threat to our Charter of Rights and is patterned under your country’s Social Credit System! So you see Chairman Xi we in Canada are working with China helping make the Canadian Utopia happen.

Imagine the Prime Minister pulling all these rabbits out of the political hat and impressing Chairman Xi with these great pro-chinese efforts happening on Canadian soil. Truth is the Chairman knows all about them and may have felt the Ape has climbed too high and needed to brought down a peg, may be two.

Enter the Chairman, a plan, a trans-lator and his victim. Quicker than you can say Bali-high Justin will get the picture. To the Chairman of China being the Canadian most impressed with your own political acumen and successes, “DON’T Mean Very MUCH.

Ignorance is strength

“Things are moving fast, and Canadians should be very concerned that a free and democratic society is quickly headed towards a society where citizens can be cancelled with the flick of a switch.”

That clarion call comes from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. You’ll find it in a report called, “Canada’s Road to Beijing.” The report quickly delivers two critical observations: (1) that those we have elected to keep watch on our democracy are derelict and (2) that Justin Trudeau is creating his own Canada in the image of the WEF! Some Canadians might be surprised at this declarative sentence: Justin Trudeau and the World Economic Forum introduce phase one of China’s Social Credit System. If you are surprised, you haven’t been paying attention. Insider Correspondent Katie Canales has delineated a detailed SCS account for dummies: “China’s Social Credit system ranks citizens and punishes them with throttled internet speeds and transportation bans if authorities deem them untrustworthy.” Technically the Social Credit System is enabled by the digital universe. Intellectually it is a gift to those who wish to control others. Writer Brad Salzberg observes, “Trudeau’s response to the Freedom Convoy was to institute a dry run of public shaming via the frozen bank account agenda next on Trudeau’s to do list is replication of Communist China’s Social Credit reward system for those travelling inside and outside our country.” In Ottawa the apparatchics refer to it as KTDI. (Known Traveller Digital Identity). To the unwashed it is the WEF’s KNOWN TRAVELLER IDENTITY program. Katie Canales explains, “…in China authorities have created databases of information about their citizens including addresses, family relations, birth control methods and religious affiliations.” In Canada, the Trudeau/Schwab collaboration will begin with hotel, flight and train records. You can be sure biometrics and video footage will be added to their KTDI as the collaboration matures.

Of course like all of Trudeau’s favourite plans, KTDI was a secret until it was revealed in a report titled, “Canada’s Digital Ambition 2022”, published on the Federal Government website August 4, 2022. That’s a curiosity! Historically we know that a significant event of this kind would warrant a Trudeau photo opportunity explaining, with a good measure of self congratulatory bravado, the legitimate plans of his government to use Digital for Social Credit, but there was NO news conference. Curious because KTDI involves a major collaboration with an organization that hates Canada’s democratic system. Even more curious because this secret Trudeau foray into the digital universe also involves Air Canada and two airports (Montreal-Trudeau and Toronto’s Pearson) as well as private corporations like Accenture. Observers just cannot believe that Trudeau would pass up an opportunity so ripe with political fruit. Unless the Prime Minister, in spite of his unquenchable need for the spotlight, is not ready to publicly acknowledge that he is committed to Karl Schwab’s godless World Economic Forum. It’s a fact the developing Social Credit system in Trudeau’s hands will make possible comprehensive data collection that will measure your loyalty to the state!

This edition of holidayatlarge quoted extensively from three published sources:

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms; Insider Correspondent Katie Canales; and Brad Salzberg/Substack.

The last question goes to the editors of Epoch Times—-Why on earth would the Critical report by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms be relegated to A12 of your August 18-24th edition?

AIR TRUDEAU INVADES COSTA RICA

Of course the Costa Ricans were not inspired to try and defend themselves, because the invading force, basically, was of the non-threatening variety. But we do know many support staff came in as part of the Prime Ministerial protection detail. They don’t tell us how many but be assured flying into San Jose there were snipers, bug detectors, and other specialists dedicated to making PM Trudeau more comfortable and safer than he was in those bleak grey days when he had to flee the nation’s capital after it was invaded by some big noisy trucks and tough talking truckers. Yes. The ones planning to overthrow his minority government. Now these many months later those plotting to take away his kingdom have been safely dispatched, including the most notorious of the truckers, Tamara Lich. The Trudeau braintrust that invoked the “Dire Emergencies to save Ottawa Act” turned out to be a political Lich mob. It took scraps of a story from the CBC, added some unreliable and, in fact, false information about the weapons the truckers allegedly possessed, and ordered the Country into a Military lockdown. Additionally, Trudeau cabinet members claimed the go-fund-me effort launched, aborted, relaunched and aborted was being supported by an international cartel and that most of the money was traced to foreign sources. Also falsehoods. Here’s an early fund raising tally, (6:30pm, January 28, $6.4 million collected from 82,500 donors.) The numbers were overwhelmingly Canadian and indicative that many understood the depth of the support. So Trudeau ordered banks to freeze money in accounts belonging to the revolutionaries that came as far away as Medicine Hat, Moose Jaw and Blaine Lake to overthrow a government. We’re sure many who live in Ottawa still cannot comprehend the motivation to travel thousands of miles to protest on Ottawa’s dull, grey Wellington Street on your own dime. But then the “freedoms” have never meant much to the pampered.

This weekend, far away from the cold Ottawa jail cell that until the other day was Ms. Lich’s domicile, the Prime Minister is safe, warm and free to enjoy the hospitality of Rodrigo Robles, 61 year old president of Costa Rica and also its Head of State. Population: 5 million 100 thousand. The Canadian national press hasn’t bothered giving us too many reasons why Costa Rica is the PM’s vacation of choice. The exception being the Globe and Mail, once a paragon of literary and honest reporting, now projecting a sordid picture of reporters and columnists paid to report the news, but only the proper news about national affairs. Not surprisingly, the Globe offers Robyn Urback who quickly, and flippantly, gives us the jist of her commentary, “Trudeau is spending two weeks in Costa Rica. So what?” We don’t know to whom she must reply but we also don’t care. Her attitude reflects the Globe today. Subsidized, smug and arrogantly pleading, “please buy access to the Globe, Canada’s leading independent journalism.” Really?? Much more interesting would be speculation about why Tamara Lich is not in jail, as she was until 26th of July. It’s quite possible given his obsession with appearances, the Prime Minster made it happen. How would it look if the Trudeau family was enjoying a beautiful, two week vacation in exotic Costa Rica, leaving behind that poor persecuted Ms. Lich in the cold Ottawa jail!!

So now, about what would Senor Trudeau like to consult with Presidente Robles? Start with some facts about how Robles and predecessors govern Costa Rica: no permanent standing army, a National Border Patrol, a well trained National police, which President Robles is quite willing to activate for the purpose of firmly ending protests and marches. Various combinations of Internal Security help President Robles keep a close eye on potential political pot holes. Given Trudeau’s current campaign to convince Canadians to follow his leadership into a world we are not expecting to visit, let alone live in, Presidente Robles may have some tips Trudeau could use to subdue those sections of the Canadian Landscape that need to be convinced that his way is the right way. I’m sure the two men and their assistants will be busy for several days talking security, population control and surveillance. But hopefully there will be time for the Prime Minister to stroll with family and absorb the chatter, the laughter and song of many happy Costa Ricans. During his sightseeing and strolling our Prime Minister might want to know more about the practical reasons Costa Ricans are so happy. For instance, Senor Justin might be interested in the Costa Rican health system, considering the moribund condition of his health care system back home. He might explore Costa Ricas’ unique public/private health system, ranked one of the world’s best, putting to shame the health care systems of Cuba, The United States and New Zealand. Justin Trudeau might be interested in his host country’s success in supporting reforestation, coping with 67 active volcanos, and before Trudeau the Lesser leaves, he should know Costa Rica is a paradise for hummingbirds.

Air Trudeau over and out

KNOW THAT ‘STUDY’ IS NOT ‘RESEARCH’

As it turned out, today, May First, 2022, was a good day to drift through some old stuff in the somewhat dishevelled family library. Coincidental to the drifting there were thoughts about Joe Biden’s latest gambit, “The Ministry of Truth”, and Justin Trudeau’s plans to “license” Canadian journalists. On this library shelf I see, a dozen or more books about UFO’s – a subject clouded by government leaks, followed by denials, followed by more leaks – and next to the UFO’s almost as many books on the JFK take down and cover up. And couldn’t you call this serendipity, out tumbles “1984, by George Orwell“, somewhat tattered, with a cover that’s been abused probably by spilled coffee, price of 85 cents still quite visible, with pages intact. There on page 86, the mantra, “freedom is slavery” and on page 162, “ignorance is strength.” Mantra, a statement or slogan repeated frequently, like “no one is safe until all are safe”, an often repeated reference to the importance of being vaccinated. The unvaccinated, meanwhile continue to be cauterized. The latest broadside was fired by Dr. David Fisman. He conducted a study that obviously found favour with the people at the Canadian Medical Association Journal who published it. Designated a study rather than a research paper, Dr. Fisman, using modelling, claimed the unvaxxed if found in the company of the vaxxed are dangerous because they raise the risk of infection around them. The casualness of that statement suggests no challenge to the conclusion. The speed with which Fisman’s study was picked up by Canada’s MSM (main stream media) classifies it as propaganda on behalf of the the STATES’ view of the unvaxxed! Propaganda almost always crowds the truth and in many cases bears no discernible relationship to veracity. Don’t think so? Look at the framing of the story billboard in all the MSM, (“MIXING WITH UNVACCINATED INCREASES COVID 19 RISK FOR THE VACCINATED: Study”.) No equivocation, just a straight delivery to the reader as fact. There’s no reference in this so called study to repeated official statements telling us get vaccinated and you will not be infected. Here’s something else. The opening sentence refers to a STUDY and the next paragraph begins with a reference to ‘the RESEARCH’. Because this study slanders so many, we need to be clear about the difference between study and research. To study is usually academic. It’s designed to revise materials already learned in order to make sure one doesn’t forget them. While research is to search or examine with continued care; to seek diligently, labouriously, searching after truth. The sum of the difference suggests that Dr. David Fisman deliberately offered a hit piece that diminishes the unvaxxed. And MSM was eager to participate in the piling on and disparagement. But that’s not all. Dr. Fisman’s study is based on modelling. Fisman explains, “we use models in a lot of different ways. They’re just simplified versions of reality.” There’s more than a hint of simplicity in the doctor’s breezy explanation. Most would bluntly affirm there’s no such thing as simplified reality. Dr. Fisman may be a professional but his reliance on modelling for truth produces instant skeptics. All models have limitations because they are not representative of every possible scenario. British statistician George Box said, “all models are wrong. Some are useful.” Next let’s slide over to the desk of one of the many editors that would have approved publishing this study without thought. First check the pulse. You would have thought that after eviscerating the poor unvaccinated pilgrim, the last words of the study would find a place near the first words because Dr. Fisman’s vulnerability is noted but not until all the bullets have been fired. Story concludes, “however he (Dr.Fisman) acknowledges that a simple mathematical model does not fully reflect the real world or diverse factors that must be taken in account when setting public health policy, including political consideration and public anger.” The fact that MSM, now amply subsidized by the taxpayer, would stoop to run the report of a flimsy study, not a peer reviewed research paper, tells us everything we need to know about the deterioration of news reporting in this country. Recent history confirms anger from the Prime Minister comes at the unvaxxed from darkness. Why else would he want to keep the unvaxxed locked up for another three years? He knows this latest violent thrust is un-Canadian. How is it that so few in the Media grasp the obvious. He was outwitted by the Truck Convoy, and that will be the bastard badge he will wear until retired by his patron, Klaus Schwab. Meanwhile Ottawa continues to cover up the truth about the vaxxed. In Ontario, they are supporting daily numbers that show more than 20 deaths a day and several thousand new infections. But health officials are not admitting that at least 80% of those infections are among the vaccinated. The cover up provides fertile ground for studies like the one from Dr. Fisman that are used to play the unvaxxed as patsies, Canadians, characterized as extremists, misogynists, racists, and worse in the privacy of the Prime Ministers office. What kind of a man demonizes millions of fellow countrymen? And holds them hostage without due process! We know he is ‘of the people’ responsible for the monumental mismanagement of the pandemic.

The God they don’t believe exists has a reward for each one.

YOU CAN MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

Examples of this STUFF tumble out almost hourly from the medical, political and technical people. And this STUFF includes myths that will not die no matter the validity of challenging protocol. Today Peter Juni, who sits at the head of the Science Table, estimated 30,000 to 35,000 Ontario residents are walking around with Covid. What solid, positive and unassailable proof did Juni have in his hot little hand that supported his estimate? He said it was based on viral levels measured in waste water. Who was his source(s)? Because of his ability to take out and put back the “Science Table genie” at will, we need to see the mathematics. We need to hear from a legitimate professional who will delineate the bafflegab that Juni reported. Juni is dangerous because he’s ad libbing unverified conclusions that are broadcast across the province without challenge. He just made it up! On the other hand we have some official new infections data based on actual testing as confirmed by the Ontario Health Ministry. It shows the number of new infections for March 31 to be 3139. The Ministry also tells us the 3139 is an under-estimate due to testing restrictions. That means the Ministry cannot say for sure how many people in Ontario are walking around with Covid today. But over there is Peter Juni, a doctor on his soapbox billowing wild unconfirmed numbers. He’s blowing smoke through his political foghorn. But that’s not all. Juni disagrees with the Ford decision to unburden citizens of masks, vaccine mandates, quarantines first thrust upon us to flatten the curve that would not be flattened. From the depth of his intransigence Juni makes this statement, “the highly infectious Omicron sub variant cannot be blamed for Ontario’s rising case count, but rather the increase in transmission can mostly be linked to the lifting of pandemic restrictions.” And on what basis does this paragon of medicinal virtue speak these words? He provides no evidence to back up that statement but by saying this, he is trying to marshall support from those who accept without questioning his baseless palaver. He is challenging the political decision to give living without mindless restrictions some air. Frankly, these clouds of bafflegab from Juni and other self righteous tin horns who think they have godlike abilities to devine the past, present and future need to be blown away by common sense. Real stats tell us Covid numbers here are rising but not nearly as dramatically as Dr. Juni speculates. Let’s face it, his scribbler shows no documentation for another pressure point he has directed at the political decision makers. The head of the Science Table said, “the point here really is it’s entirely our responsibility what we’re seeing and we just got a little bit too much ahead of ourselves and here we are.” Another shot at the Ford Braintrust, and braintrust is a stretch, but Juni is totally out step because he brings nothing substantive to this verbal runoff. He is challenging Ford with an empty arsenal. And you know Juni is talking just for the sake of talking when he says, “…and we just have our task at hand to keep the slope of the wave upwards relatively flat so that we are not challenged in our hospitals.” Let’s leave Juni’s verbal contortions and move to another Doctor from whom we’ve been hearing. Dr. Isaak Bogoch is representative spokesman for UHN (University Health Network). He’s an infectious diseases expert. In spite of numerous studies that cast serious doubt on the ability of masking to prevent Covid from getting to you, Dr. Bogoch loves masks. Yesterday he suggested that the Ford decision relative to masking was questionable considering the belief that Ontario is now confronted with the 6th wave. Bogoch says, ”I think if people continue to wear masks and most people wear masks it will help blunt the 6th wave.” Does he believe that or did he just make it up? The numerous probes conducted into masks should be enough to convince the honest, clear thinking doctors there is much doubt about the efficacy of masking. Let me refer to one. In late February, (8) industrial hygienists called the CDC mask guidance substantially flawed. In the 28 page letter they wrote to the CDC, NIH, and other top flight health authorities, the industrial hygienists pointed out they represented a combined 150 years experience in the field of industrial hygiene. For the sake of brevity here are their four key points: 1) Recommending N-95 masks is inappropriate for the general population and children 2) CDC has issued harmful guidance for masking children that contradicts manufacturers recommendations, world wide standard practice and the CDC’s own guidance, and without appropriate risk-benefit analysis 3) The CDC continues to ignore the fact that COVID-19 is primarily spread by aerosol (not droplets) making mask use mostly ineffective 4) CDC’s position for masks used by the general public lacks proper scientific justification and creates potential harm based on a false sense of security. And the conclusion of this group of highly knowledgeable 8 industrial hygienists is easy to understand:

“The CDC is doing enormous damage to science and scientists by allowing politics to dictate public health policy rather than actual science.” Within two weeks, the CDC changed some of its mask related policies without publicly acknowledging the letter from the hygienists.

Nobody in Canada seems to recall that letter. And mask wearing policy, at least in Ontario. has not been altered. Reflecting on the words of Dr. Bogoch on the absolutely positive aspects of mask wearing to combat the 6th wave, you could conclude he is not influenced in this case by science. How many of the rules and regulations imposed on us have been based on anti-Science? Maybe the masters of the COVID challenge have been making it up? Who says you can’t make this stuff up! W.H.O. did.

Next: the flim and the flam.

You can fool some of the people all of the time….

Prime Minister Trudeau’s latest trip to Europe strikes some Canadians as odd. For several reasons. The news release heralding his imminent departure was fulsome, in part. It details every European influencer with whom he will meet but not exactly why. Trudeau doesn’t seem to be a factor on the minds of key European politicians day to day. Mostly they view Canada politely but hardly a major influence against a backdrop of the war in Ukraine. Yes they appreciate our humanitarian support but militarily we are not a factor. We have been shipping some secondary weapons but most of Canada’s contribution is described as non-lethal. Not surprising. Our annual defense expenditures are meagre. And we don’t know whether we can help with the oil deficit. So nobody in Europe was expecting the Prime Minister of Canada would be arriving with heavy duty weapons of war and a billion dollars in aid for the Ukrainians. So why was he coming for 5 days? The itinerary rivaled a state visit. I think we could be forgiven if we postulate at least two additional reasons for the now concluded carefully choreographed 5 days in Europe. Because the PM is never transparent about planning and execution we must by necessity speculate. It’s quite possible his main strategist, Gerald Butts, the high profile fall guy of the SNC-Lavalin scandal provided another reason for Trudeau’s trip. Butts continues to provide the best strategic advice Trudeau and the Liberals can get. He’s brilliant. And his thinking might have been…”look Prime Minister your encounter with the Ottawa protesters did not help your popularity. Your standing among the polled shows almost 60% negative. Your refusal to meet with the Convoy reps was not good, because it gave your opponents an opportunity to dig up your quotes like, ‘…..you can’t negotiate when only one party comes to the table..’ …and that’s just one. Calling the dogs out to handle a peaceful protest prolonged by your ill-advised intransigence is another. Add to that your declaration that the state of emergency was not over because there were signs the Freedom Convoy truckers were regrouping and planning to return to Ottawa …I could go on Prime Minister but I won’t because I have another brilliant idea! Let’s make this trip to Europe a combo–one designed to further strengthen Canada’s solidarity with Ukrainians as they battle the Russian horde and two a high profile visit promoting a state of community with Europe. We have a major political deficit and this trip can deliver substantial political capital. Meetings in four or five cities plus an audience with the Queen and a wind-up day mingling with and speaking to Ukrainian refugees. From start to finish heavy on photo-ops and statements of heartfelt sympathy. This is a not to be a missed opportunity to fix the eyes of the world on you.”

My other trip scenario falls squarely on stewardship.

‘No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other!’

Justin Trudeau has cast himself into the untenable role of shilling for the World Economic Forum while at the same time trying to fulfill his role as Prime Minister. Unfortunately Justin Trudeau has turned his back on Canadians because of his loyalty to Klaus Schwab and the WEF. Examination of the reasons for Trudeau’s European trip suggest it was designed to coincide with key priorities of the WEF, in addition to the top of mind subject Ukraine. In London, Trudeau met with several members of the the World Economic Forum including British PM Boris Johnson and Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte. The World Economic Forum was well represented by the Canadian delegation: there was the Prime Minister, deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly. The penetration of the Canadian cabinet by the World Economic Forum starts right at the top. Additionally, at every stop, Trudeau trotted out two WEF favorities, climate change and elimination of fossil fuels. It is difficult to ascertain Trudeau’s end game with respect to his Canadian stewardship and his own projection on the Schwab starship. Some think he sees himself as the proconsul in the WEF hierarchy, possibly more than that. The just completed tour of four countries with pictures likely had the blessing of Schwab, who has announced to the world that Justin Trudeau is a WEF recruit in whom he is well pleased. Fellow Canadians need to digest the words of the Prime Minister delivered to the United Nations in September 2020. He said…..”this pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset. This is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to re-imagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality and climate change!” Trudeau’s reference to the “Great Reset’ harvested howls from the uninitiated charging: “conspiracy theory” and “fake news”.

I would suggest the Former Governor of the Bank of Canada and Governor of the Bank of England does not engage his time among fanciful theories and chimerical dreams and neither does Klaus Schwab!!

Historically speaking

On November 8, 56 years ago, John F Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon taking the White House in one of the closest elections in American history.

53 years ago Friday, the 22nd, John Kennedy was murdered on the streets of Dallas Texas. Interesting that five decades removed from those two significant events questions remain relative to both. The 1960 presidential race was settled quickly when Richard Nixon conceded, ignoring the urging of several supporters to contest the results. Kennedy won the popular vote by just under 112, 000 votes out of 68 million cast, a margin of 0.2%. But his victory coincided with rampant rumours that the political machine of Mayor Richard Daly stuffed Chicago’s ballot boxes to seal Illinois for Kennedy. Down in Texas a story of skulduggery engineered by JFK’s running mate Lyndon B. Johnson was credited with sealing the Lone Star state for the Democrats. Over the objections of many Republicans Nixon conceded on the afternoon of November 9th telling close friends, “our country cannot afford the agony of a constitutional crisis in the middle a Cold war.” But despite Nixon’s decision not to ask for a recount, the Republican party pursued recounts and investigations in 11 states. In fact Earl Mazo, a Washington reporter for the New York Herald Tribune was positive the Democrats had committed Grand Theft. He kept telling anyone who would listen, “there’s no question in my mind the election was stolen…..stolen in Chicago and Texas.” Tipped off by reporters in Chicago, Mazo went to the Windy City, obtained lists of voters in precincts that seemed suspicious and started checking addresses. He recalled, “there was a cemetery where names on the tombstones were registered and voted. I remember a house. It was completely gutted. Nobody there. But there were 56 votes for Kennedy in that house.” At the urging of Democrats. Mazo went to Republican areas downstate and looked for fraud there. He found it but on a smaller scale than in Chicago. Then Mazo hit Texas where he documented similar Democratic electoral shenanigans. Armed with a couple briefcases detailing voting irregularities, his editors suggested a 12 part series on election fraud. By Mid-December 1960 he had published four of the 12, which were carried by papers across the States, including the Washington Post.

Then Nixon called and asked Mazo to stop writing his series on election fraud and dead voters because the United States could not afford a constitutional crisis given the heat of the Cold War. Mazo couldn’t believe his ears. “I thought he was kidding, but he was serious.” Failing to convince the intrepid reporter, Nixon called his editors at the Tribune and implored them to stop the series. Long story short, the Editors pulled him off the Series! Chagrined wouldn’t come close to describing his reaction. “I was terribly disappointed. I envisioned the Pulitzer Prize for crissakes.”

Election irregularities in the United States are an endemic nuisance. Americans call it garden variety fraud but it’s more than that. The fact is no one knows whether the Republic has in times past been the victim of a felonious cabal that used the ballot box to subvert the will of the people. Everything about the 2020 vote is not known but opinions are rampant. A Vegas oddsmaker says, “the fix was in. Trump was robbed. This election was stolen.” Financial broadsheet Lear Capital has important questions about what happened: “from statistical impossibilities, to coincidences that defy the odds, to 100+% voter ‘turnout’, there are anomalies that need explaining. They must be cleaned up before the next election or our beloved republic is in danger.”

The real tragedy of the election of 2020 is that 12 billion dollars was spent on a process that seriously diminished the Democratic process. America is the poorer for the outcome because it failed to blunt the destructive forces that attended the assassination of the Chief Executive Officer more than 5 decades ago.

Next, the decade Americans gave away their birthright.

Questions, so many questions

This is day 50 of our Self-Isolation. Yes, I think it’s such a major event that those two words should be capitalized. So for 50 days it’s been Linda and me and the cats (Missy and Sandy) hanging out with no safe place to go. Two years ago, right about now, we were getting super excited about a planned three week trip to Italy. Italy’s current state reminds us that acting on a good idea…is a good idea. So we did. It was the best! Very timely. We had considered putting it off for a couple of years but Linda noted we might regret a delay because of life’s uncertainties. Who could have imagined rather than one of us getting sick, that whole country went to sick bay. Sometimes you get lucky.

This year all plans revolve around closer to home – Meal planning based on on-line ordering, working on a daily routine that sure seems like the same routine we worked on yesterday, and trying to keep the blood cells moving. We are so fortunate to live on a ravine that is part of the Highland Creek Watershed. It’s a migratory corridor for birds and wild animals that includes a 2 mile path for pedestrians and cyclists. I walk it everyday. And it’s on those daily constitutionals that questions keep rumbling through my head. Questions covering a myiad of topics that pop in at random.

For instance, why does the Governor of New Jersey where 800-thousand people face unemployment want to pay illegals 600 dollars a week? And why do only half the people of the United States know about Tara Reade? And how come 20% of the people in Los Angeles are illegal aliens? Why are the daily COVID 19 briefings akin to watching paint dry? The Prime Minister speaks without a supporting cast and when he’s done why doesn’t anybody ask important questions of substance? Aren’t reporters allowed in his stately presence? Here’s a question: Does Canada plan to ask China to refund the money we paid for faulty Personel Protective Equipment (PPE)? Did Ontario’s Premier move his mother-in-law out of the Long Term Care home in which she was living and infected by the Virus? Why would China threaten Australia because the Aussies were seeking truth? And recalling Mel Lastman’s query during the Sars outbreak, Who is WHO? China’s best new friend, that’s WHO!

When we started our Self Isolation 50 days ago, Canada reported 103 cases of the Virus, and today we are reporting (60,000 ) plus with a prediction that almost four thousand will die before May 5th! Remember when the country’s Chief Public Health Officer predicted we had little to fear from this virus? Do officials who make wild, baseless statements ever get canned? Probably not.

But when you walk the Birkdale Ravine everyday there are many positives. Spring has arrived. Didn’t look like it would in the middle of March when the SI started but the buds had a notion. They knew what was coming. 10 days into Isolation, the robins started arriving in bunches from the south but my oldest granddaughter was stuck in Tunisia. And our Foreign Affairs Office strongly suggested Canadians get home tout de suite – in both official languages. Isn’t that the way it goes, something good followed by some bad?

When Italy brought down the hammer, our national total was doubling every three days. Today Italy is working to re-open. Is this a good idea? At this stage many are somewhere between worried and in the fog that seems to have surrounded every statement meant to reassure and clarify. Who knew anything? Who knows anything? The Chinese knew but they aren’t talking.

The great thing about walking is how quickly you move things around in your head. The brain can change the subject in a nano second. On Tuesday, March 17, I was thinking how sad there wouldn’t be a St. Patrick’s Day parade. Takes a lot to throw a curve at an Irishman that he can’t hit. And what about baseball? I noted the Blue Jays opener is here in less than a week but file that next to no parade, no basketball, hockey, and soccer. Wow is this really happening? My friend Penner Mackay and I would not make it to the Blue Jays opener, and we would miss Jackie Robinson day in Los Angles and Brooklyn. Is this fair ball? It is not!

Sport fans are tired of watching old games and listening to old baseball games. The other day I was listening to a game broadcast on radio back in September of 1939. Bob Feller, one of the greats, was on the mound for the Cleveland Indians playing the Washington Senators. Always thought baseball was the perfect sport for radio. You? Vidiots find themselves watching shows they never heard of. Is it possible Britbox and Netflix were invented for COVID 19? What are politicians doing during these lockdowns? I know they’re not answering their letters. Somewhere in the ether are two letters from me. One to Toronto’s deputy mayor and the other to our member of the Provincial Parliament for Scarborough Centre. Answered? NO.

When I noodle some of the COVID 19 briefings by Trudeau, Trump, Ford, Tory I recall a telling quote from Winston Churchill in answer to a question by a reporter about the tendency for his government to lie about British misfortunes in a couple of World War Two battles. You almost hear his every distinctive, stentorian syllable in response: “We would never lie to you, but don’t assume we are telling you the truth.”

Today on my walk I said hello to 4 deer and blew my warning whistle at the coyote. At Linda’s insistence 15 years ago we moved from a downtown condo to life on the ravine.

Isn’t it great? No question!

Let’s go with odds and ends….

The odds encompass a wide range of silliness that accumulate, sometimes as really important issues such as, who is plugging the toilet in Sheboygan, Wisconsin?

Or why do photos of  members of the United States Congress with Louis Farrakan keep showing up even as the subjects deny having anything to do with this hater of jews and white people?  This list of friends all seem to come from the Democratic Party.  Really!  Why?

Or why was it fine for U-S president Obama to send congratulations to Vladimir Putin in 2012 after he was re-elected President of Russia but not OK for U-S president Donald Trump to do the same after Putin’s  re-election in 2018?  Do we suppose Putin’s victory in 2012 was a triumph without ballot box stuffing and the arrests of possible challenges?

Or why are all the lawyers on the Mueller Investigation team Democrats, half of whom sent money to the Clinton campaign.  You wonder if any sent money to The Donald.?

Or why can’t late night comedians find jokes that are actually funny?   Do Americans really believe that Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Myers are funny?  You want funny see the recent Facebook posting of George Carlin on the Jimmy Dean show.  I know that’s goes back years..but it’s been a long time since we’ve seen comedy that’s not laced with cruel political folderol.  How about Flip Wilson’s ugly baby story on the Carson show.  That was funny!

Or when will Canada’s Prime Minister grow-up?  Our dollar is in need of some serious policy upgrades.

Now there are some who will not think some of the Odds are odd which is odd but let me see if I can get an agreement on at least one oddity! Last week Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and filmmaker Michael Moore were involved in a televised town hall that focused on “inequality” in America.
They slammed wealthy Americans,  got the crowd worked up about the excesses of America’s 1% and generally moaned and groaned about the excesses of the rich.

Journalist Gary McIntyre decided to plumb the riches of the accusers, Sanders, Warren and Moore.  Sanders he noted likes to parade around Washington, D.C in a rumpled suit with unkempt hair, just like a no account off the street.  Sanders, according to McIntyre is doing swell–just bought a 600-thousand dollar house, earned $858, 000 in book royalties and with his Senate salary  pulled in more than a million in earnings in 2016.  Sanders says wealthy people are, “never satisfied, always wanting more.”  In 2016 Sanders was a one per center.  Does he wants more?

Senator Warren, according to CNN money is worth between $3.7 million and $10 million.

Has a Victorian home in Cambridge now assessed at $1.9 million and received an advance of $525,000 to write her book,  A fighting chance.  She claims to be fighting for  the middle and working class presumably with her one percent!.

Moore who has said the level of greed by the wealthy is “crazy” while working himself into a frenzy–denouncing business leaders living in “gated communities” and “castles with moats around them.”  His documentaries, “Bowling for Columbine” and “Fahrenheit 911.” helped him heap together a fortune of $50-million.  His 2013 divorce proceedings revealed the couple’s house was a 10-thousand-square-foot Michigan mansion.  Gated.

Don’t know about the moat but Madonna and Bruce Willis were living in the same neighborhood!  “Crazy.”

Now for the ends—there’s a serial toilet clogger on the loose in Sheboygan, Wisconsin!

Over the past year and a half this person, believed to be a male, has clogged the women’s toilet at the Deland Community Centre 26 times in 2016/17 and three times so far this year costing thousands of dollars for labour and repair.  Plus the inconvenience.

Sheboygan’s superintendant of parks and forestry says, “we can’t figure this one out.”

The culprit is  inserting  20 ounce soda bottles into the pipes of the women’s washroom.

(Thanks to Gary McIntyre for much of the information about the hypocrites Sanders, Warren and Moore)

 

 

 

 

 

Assassinations are effective silencers

“In dictatorships like Russia and Argentina when individuals become troublesome for the administration they are shot dead. Assassinated! Or made to seem to have suicided.
In what we call democracies like Ontario they use character assassinations to discredit and silence dissenters.
—————
In Moscow where the Putin people put short-work to another challenge to the president for life they have marched in remembrance of Boris Nemtsov,  an effective orator who had been scoring political points against Vlad the Impaler.  It was around Boris Nemtsov that  many Russians felt they could rally  in support of a better life.   And then they buried him.
Naturally, the Putin police have been put on the job to find the killer and bring him to ‘justice’.  The aftermath is of little consequence because the problem, ‘Nemtsov’ has been solved.
————-
In Argentina, a prosecutor who was to testify against the president for alledged crimes against the people of that country, was found dead of a “self-inflicted” gunshot to the head the day before he was to reveal in court his charges which he claimed would put President Cristina Fernandez in irons. Instead he went to an early grave, his demise timely insofar as the President was concerned
putting an end to the critical challenge facing Ms.  Fernandez.  And, as they did in Moscow, thousands marched in Buenos Aires with tears and lighted candles.
Here again the immediate problem in a country famous for “helping dissenting citizens disappear”) was made to disappear.   The secrets of Alberto Nisman were buried with him.

Reminds one of the untimely, embarrassment saving journeys to an early grave of Ron Brown, a U-S cabinet secretary. He died the weekend before he was to testify to a committee of the Congress about Bill Clinton’s nefarious schemes. Plane crash. Or, George de Mohrenschildt who was on track to testify to members of the U-S House Select Committee on Assassinations. “Suicide.” Or Vince Foster whose “suicide” saved (BOTH) Bill and Hilary trouble. Dead men and women tell no tales.
The Mafia chieftain of New Orleans for years Carlos Marcello had a favorite saying, “three people can keep a secret, if the other two are dead!”
————
In Ontario, the provincial parliament was the scene of an assassination. Absent guns and bullets,  words were the weapons of choice.
During a debate on the floor of the parliament on the updated sex-education curriculum the Honorable member from Chatham-Kent-Essex  Rick Nichols said he thought “opting out of teaching students evolution “was not a bad idea.”  We  understand that in the political arena, debates on one subject can morph into irrelevance in the twinkling of an eye…..that’s how  “..teaching evolution” got thrown into this back-and-forth over Sex-Education.  This happened on a Tuesday.

Anyway by Thursday  we witnessed a full Liberal frontal assault on Rick Nichols.  Led by the deputy premier, and other members of the Kathleen Wynne government  they pounced to deflect

“a steady barrage” of questions from the Conservatives and the New Democrats about allegations of bribery in a recent by election in the city of Sudbury.  The scorn heaped on Rick Nichols came from not only the Liberals, but the New Democrats too!  But the Liberals took it a step farther showing off copies of the latest National Geographic called “war on science.”

Deputy premier Deb Mathews rose to say, “I really do want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Ontario PC party on being the cover story of the current issue of National Geographic magazine.  Rick Nichols was not in the House Thursday probably warned off by the Interim leader of the Tories.  But his absence didn’t diminish the ridicule.

Rick’s statement, ” I don’t believe in evolution”  inspired a cartoonist for Toronto Star to deliver a vicious frame that clearly suggested Rick Nichols was a crackpot.   Then, the crippling words of ridicule spooked the Conservative hierarchy into declaring Rick’s opinion about “evolution” were his and definitely NOT  representative of Ontario Tories.  Not much comfort there Rick!

While I am not surprised that a backbench Liberal might be allowed to vent spleen over the Conservative member’s statement, “…I don’t believe in evolution” , I would not expect the Deputy Premier and the Premier to fully embrace the blatant attempt to make Rick Nichols look and sound small and deranged and unworthy of his position as part of the political fabric, no matter the party.   His religious conviction became the reason for a scurrilous attack approved of  by the Premier, Kathleen Wynne.  And it came from someone who is the beneficiary of the pluralist society in which we live. It elected her to be our Chief Executive without so much as a whisper of dissent relative to her sexual orientation.  And you know many people have held their tongues because their religious beliefs do not coincide with her lifestyle.

And rather than suggest in no uncertain terms that Rick Nichols is absolutely entitled to ‘not believe in evolution’ because this is a society is tolerant of ALL,

she said, she was very surprised and “taken aback” to hear Nichols confirm his belief, not to believe in evolution.

Furthermore she added, ” I would have expected, quite frankly, that everyone in the legislature would have a firm belief in the science that we teach in schools, and certainly that I believe in.”

What science is that Premier Wynne?  You mean the “theory of evolution” is now the Science of Evolution?  Just because National Geographic says evolution happened doesn’t mean it did.

Is it now a prerequisite of seeking a seat in the Provincial Parliament that you belong to the vast majority of non-thinkers who say they believe in evolution!

Is it not possible to suggest that theory, not matter how plausible to some is still a THEORY?  Synonyms include conjecture,  speculation, assumption….even Einstein, whose theory of relativity has stood years of testing said if there is ONE mistake in my theory it is history, literally!  Last summer there was some speculation that his theory was toast but the speculation was premature.

And then someone said if evolution is proved what do we do about where all the subjects of evolution came from.  That gave rise to the incredible theory that the Universe came from nothing.

It was suggested by Lawrence M. Krauss that Quantum Mechanics may be the answer.  His theory was welcomed by many who felt that at last you could put God out of the equation.

One of the problems of course, his theory copied from several scientists before him violates the First Law of Thermodynamics.  That’s the law that  says nothing in the Universe(matter or energy)

can pop into existence from nothing.  The debates may never end and I must, so I will leave with two points.

For those who continue to struggle with where it all began remember these words:

“the Seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God…….for in six days the Lord created Heaven and Earth and the SEA and ALL that in them is and rested on the seventh day wherefore, he Blessed  the Sabbath Day, and hallowed it.”

And (2), for those who believe this statement and the rest of the Bible are the ravings of the deranged, writing mythological nonsense, try and get your evolutionary mind around the miracle called  the eyeball!

Help is on the way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NFL drops another…..

In a world dominated by Central bankers concerned about deflation who would have thought that a football player(Tom Brady) would be sent out to face the media to explain his involvement in what an Indianapolis Reporter claims is deflationary monkey business.
Monkey business engaged in by the New England Patriots. Naturally, Mr. Brady denied any knowledge of deflation as it relates to the footballs used in the game he and the Patriots played on Sunday last. In fact why wasn’t the equipment manager sent out to face the reporters. He would have first hand knowledge, wouldn’t he? BUT,
my first reaction to the deflation story, now categorized by some unimaginative reporter as Deflategate, which is probably called deflatengaten in Munich, was what’s the difference, both quarterbacks use the same ball. Well they don’t! I was totally unaware that each team is required to provide 12 footballs for their own use when they are on offense.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a dumber idea. Why would the NFL, a billion dollar monopoly put at risk the efficacy of a game on which millions of dollars are wagered by allowing the teams to provide the footballs which obviously are vulnerable to tampering! Even if there was no tampering in this case.
And this was not just another game it was a contest to decide half of the competition for the SUPERBOWL which everybody knows is THE sporting event of the American year.
Doesn’t the NFL have protocols in place that would ensure no equipment vulnerability. Obviously it does not but did you know that? I did not.
—————-
So what could be behind the story broken to the world by an obviously biased observer that NEW England played with footballs that were deflationary.
(A lark?) (revenge for the terrible beating endured by the Colts)(or perhaps a promotional gambit inspired by someone in the Commissioner’s office to help promote SuperBowl).

Whatever the outcome of this bit of deflationary news, it is much more interesting because the investigation of the balls in question rests with Roger Goodell and company, the NFL’s highest authority and an organization that seems to have an infinite capacity to fumble the ball.

We know one thing, the NFL couldn’t have created a more effective campaign to advertise the SUPERBOWL!

QUESTIONS

(same old story)

Gasoline in the Greater Toronto Area today is, 6 dollars and twenty six cents a gallon. $6.26.

And it’s $6.26 at every major gasoline station in the GTA.  Esso, Petrocan, Shell, Husky, Sunoco!

Do we expect this blatant example of price fixing will ever come to the attention of the

toothless Competition bureau in Ottawa?  If it’s not price fixing, than what is it?

Are we to believe that the operating costs of each gasoline company, Esso, PetroCan, Shell, Husky and Sunoco

are identical, therefore each must charge exactly the same price for gas?  Is this what they’re telling us?

Do we believe this makes sense?

(Statistics Canada)

On April 7, 2012 Stats Can reported that during March, Ontario added 46-thousand jobs!

Did anybody in the Main Stream media challenge those numbers?

There were 22 hiring days in March.  That means 2-thousand and ninety-one jobs(2 ,091) were created in Ontario

every hiring day.  And the entire media bought this?

Did anybody look at the 46-thousand and calculate the obvious-

that 460 companies in Ontario each needed to add 100 people to their payroll in March?  Do we believe this happened?

But what if the figure is true?  Does that mean that every the reporter, editor and columnist missed the biggest story of 2012?

Wouldn’t the hiring of 46-thousand people in one province in one month create a dramatic, one of a kind good news story?

Can you keep that kind of story(if it’s real), a secret?

Could one thousand companies in ontario hire 46 people(that would be 2.09 people) a month and nobody notice?

So do you think stats coming from Statistics Canada are reliable?  Unassailable?  Goofy?

If you think reliable, by July Ontario’s unemployment rate should be down to 5%!

And  if unassailable that boast by Flinty Mcguinty that the HST will create 500-thousand jobs will come to fruition.

And if goofy , PIGS WILL FLY?

(Baseball)

What’s wrong with this picture, the Blue Jays are batting and although there are two outs, the bases are loaded and

the batter is Jose Bautista, one of the most feared hitters in baseball and all of a sudden Brett Lawrie, our guy

on third base makes a dash for home–a decision doomed about the time of conception, therefore a dramatic failure

in execution.  Third out.  The bat falls from the hands of Jose Bautista and with it the prospect of  possible success!

Is Lawrie humbled by his brain cramp? Is he apologetic for trying to be a showboat ?  He is not!

Was his dash to home plate with no hope of success a team building effort? HARDLY!

There is a difference between irrational exuberance and stupidity, isn’t there?

All is forgiven.  The Jays win the last game of the series with Baltimore, and Lawrie hits a home run!

So everything is HOKAY?

Failure makes a comeback!!!

(WE are the  HOSEES)

Our per gallon price of gas in the City of Toronto today is:  $5.82

The price in Buffalo per Imperial gallon, if you could buy gas that way in Buffalo,

is: $4.41.  The fact is the Americans are paying 25% less for gasoline than we are!

And of course, in the Greater Toronto area, all the pumps owned by the majors(Shell, Esso, Petrocan, Sunoco and

Husky) show the SAME price:  it’s the gasoline sellers’ salute to Toronto’s Winterlicous prix fixe restaurant event that just concluded.

And it comes to us courtesy of the Federal Competition Act, or is that Anti-Competition.

Toronto per litre price: 1.28.  Buffalo per litre price: .97!!!!  Imperial gallon: 4.546 litres; U.S. Gallon: 3.785 litres.

So, if we are being hosed by them–that makes us the hosees!

(Travelling and Contemplating)

Some days it feels like you’re stranded between Penury and Dire Straits with a handful of

“not a winning number” lottery stubs and dog-eared coffee lids saying “please play again” while waiting for a bus

that will come by flashing “Not in Service.”  Ever? EVER!

This situation is not a good situation but it’s the ideal place from which to cogitate about life on THIS planet!

(City Hall)

Somebody call the coroner because I’m sure someone has died there.

So much hand-wringing, so many tears, such anger.  Why?  Because, to hear these mourners tell it,  the greatest,

most wonderful and talented civil servant that ever walked God’s green earth has been cashiered.

“Did he die”, you ask. NO, he was sent home.  Fired.  Driven from his office by that big bully the mayor of Toronto:

Fat, but getting thinner–Robbie Ford.  In fact, Ford didn’t send him home – a majority of members on the

Transit Committee, to whom this poor, humble, fired Civil Servant reported on his day to day accomplishments, did the

deed.  With the ‘goodbye, nice to have known you’ note they tucked in $500,000 plus.

Usually when you tell a person to go home and not come back–that’s it.  But this is a story for another time.

(Maria Augimeri loves Gary Webster)

I don’t know what her normal temperment is but yesterday she was ‘white hot’ decrying what she called “the abuse of power.”

Maria you should know is a member of the Transit Commission.  She loves the work of the guy (Webster) who was fired.

She thinks he was the most hard working, dedicated and talented Chief General Manager that ever lived.

“So,” Ms.  Augimeri demanded to know, “what message are you (other committee members) sending to our employees,

that professionalism gets kicked out the door and toadyism wins?”

Frankly, yes.  It certainly worked when David Miller was mayor.  All the toads got a place at his toadstool and the non-toads

were unceremoniously tossed.  (Write for names.  The list is too long for this time.)

MARIA of course has forgotten about the toadies that attended to Mayor Miller’s every wish because she was one of them.

Did she ever challenge Dapper David when he sent home dedicated, loyal, hard-working civil servants who weren’t

TOADIES, she DID NOT!  She suffers from ‘politicized amnesia’ that has been exacerbated by the fact that she no longer

sits in the INNER circle.

(term limits)

Maria Augimeri has been in politics for 30 years.   She’s long past her’ best before’ designation.

Maria is a poster child for the institution of term limits.  She is one of the reasons politics to many is a dirty word.

Hazel McCallion, Mississauga’s 7% solution, is another prime poster child for TERM LIMITS.  Eight years and out!!

Give others a chance to familiarize themselves with the political process.  Everybody will benefit.

Too long at the political trough blurs the landscape and deadens the senses.

Maria has been a Toronto Councillor since 1997 and judging by her comments yesterday relative to the firing of

Gary Webster she needs to understand that there are others who can do the Councillor thing just as well as she.

They would be the ones with perspective.  The ones that would avoid making goofy statements.

After eight years you really start to believe you cannot be replaced.

Unfortunately all politicians are afraid to consider term limits.  But that doesn’t mean it should remain off the table.

(OXYCONTIN)

Who put that on the table?

This drug is devastating lives from coast to coast and we hear nothing from those people in Ottawa who are supposedly

in charge of our health and welfare.

The braintrust at the Food and Drug Directorate are busy banning vitamin use based on flawed research but have nothing to

say about a drug they approved that is twice as deadly as morphine.  Why did it take a provincial initiative(Ontario’s) before

anybody bothered with what is already a soul destroying drug!

And even this provincial initiative is off centre.  Oxycontin  is not just a threat on the reservation it has invaded

thousands of households in Canada and somebody better pay attention to the thousands who are addicted to what

we frivolously call “hillbilly heroin.”  Talk to the addicted.  See their pain.  Sympathize and then do something.

We need to find out how this destructive pill was allowed into the country?  Whose hand is in whose pocket?

And when will the provincial initiative move Ottawa into doing something meaningful(nationally) besides regulating the

amount  of Vitamin D3 in a single pill?

We should know how many highly  placed people working in the Food and Drug Directorate have conflicting

ties with Big Pharma.

Next:

Is Santorum  the man to dethrone Obama?  Stay tuned.

We might as well camp here because we’ll never make Dire Straits before nightfall.

Failure is an orphan

/…These days it`s hard to figure out whether anybody knows anything!

Last week, Toronto weather forecasters were wrong five of six days and not just slightly wrong,  huge.

Rain was predicted all five days and the rain did not come, nor did the thunderstorms they predicted.

Those of us who plan weekends based on the predictions of the forecasters were told the weekend would be a drencher, so, many hopeful campers, picnickers, motorcycle enthusiasts, etc., made other plans.

The weekend weather was everything you hope for if you`re a camper etc,  sunny, hot, in a word summerlicious.

Many believe the accuracy of weather forecasters has deteriorated markedly since they started using computer models!!

/…Headline in the Toronto Star, Saturday July 16th, “HOUSING DOWNTURN  AHEAD,”–leading economists were quoted, along with

Canada’s five major banks.

Headline in  the Toronto Star, Wednesday, August 17th, “EAGER BUYERS KEEP HOUSING HOT,” real estate experts gave their reasons.

Most readers would have preferred to hear from the economists and the pooh-bahs from the five major banks-were they misquoted

mis-informed, missing their weegee boards or just plain mistaken about the ‘housing downturn.”  One of our problems as consumers is having to

decide what is fact and what is fiction because media keep passing off speculation as fact.

Sometimes the messenger should be drawn and quartered.

/…This month we were hailing another potential cancer breakthru!  By genetically reprogramming immune systems, three men were said to have

been cured of late stage leukemia.  According to a pair of studies  published at the same time in two prominent journals, the technique transforms

blood-borne T-Cells into “serial killers that hunt down and obliterate cancer cells leaving healthy tissue unharmed.

A day earlier the Wall Street Journal darkly reported that “mistakes in scientific studies surge.”   The WSJ noted that since 2001 the number

of papers published in research journals has risen 44%, while their number retracted has escalated more than 15 fold.

For instance,there were 87 retractions relating to medicine between 2001 and 2005.  Between 2006 and 2010-436.

Even worse the time lag between published studies and retractions is growing.  From slightly more than 5 months in 2000 to almost 32 months

in 2009.  The problem goes even deeper.  As the WSJ put it there was a ‘wow’ reaction to a published paper in 2003 announcing that

two popular high blood pressure drugs were found to be much better in combination than either alone!  Based on that study doctors changed

their prescriptions and patients were put on the touted combination.  Unfortunately, it wasn’t true!

Six and a half years later, the prestigious medical journal LANCET retracted the paper citing “serious concerns,” about the findings.

Too late!!  The damage was more than collateral, it was direct.  By the time the retraction found daylight 100-thousand patients had been

given the combination.  Today, according the Wall Street Journal “tens of thousands” are still on the discredited dual therapy leaving them

more vulnerable to life-threatening side effects.  Why the surge in papers and retractions?  In many cases plain ordinary fraud.

The stakes are high–“a single paper in Lancet and you get your chair and you get your money.  It’s your passport to success………………..So,

the next time you read a story or hear about about a major medical breakthrough, take it with a grain of salt-it could be subject to recall.

It’s worrisome because this dramatic increase in retractions covers many different disciplines, not just medicine.   Biology, chemistry, engineering,

physics etc…  Read all about it in the August 11th WSJ.  It’s shocking!

/…To this point in the CFL season the Green Riders of Saskatchewan have won only one game in eight and so the coach and his offensive

co-ordinator are gone.  In fact both were offensive to the devoted fans of that historic franchise. So are many of the players(offensive) but you can’t

fire the whole team.  Many of that teams ardent fans are farmers and they are the first to recognize incompetence and laziness and they know

that if they ran their farms as sloppily as the Riders have been running many of their plays, the farm as a viable unit would be history.

/…whither the stock markets?  Will the incredibly incompetent managers of our economic systems find a light of deliverance at the end of the tunnel,

or will it be the proverbial freight train??  Should the hoy-puloy(that’s us) hope for the best and plan for the worst.  Probably!

How close are we to sackcloth and ashes?  Will someone restart the engines of commerce?  Will we have to start over again and actually focus

on the difference between what we think we need and what we must have to survive?  So many questions, very few answers?

/…Toronto’s roly-poly mayor must be thinking, the “job is NOT QUITE AS SIMPLE as I figured .”  A year ago,

Fatty Ford focused the electorate on three basic concepts, stop the gravy train, reduce the budget shortfall but not services and build subways.

Almost a year into his mandate, the Gravy train has a new conductor, the budget shortfall continues to hover between half a billion and three-quarters

of a billion with services on the endangered species list and there is no money for ill-advised subway tunnels.

Who will be asked to take the fall?  The outcome remains as confusing as Who’s on first, What’s on second and I don’t know’s on third!

At least Abbott and Costello got us a laugh!  A couple of days after the Mayor told one of the City Unions not to threaten him, he turns around

and threatens us with a 35% tax increase.  Who in their right mind would threaten us, the taxpayers, with a 35% tax hike.

There’s more than a passing resemblance between today’s political landscape and mythology.

/…And so it would seem many of those we have talked about today are drive by the truism–

“success has a thousand fathers, failure is an orphan.”

TA from AJ

You can’t get there from here!

/…You don’t get many air miles at one time so it takes a longtime to accumulate enough to get from  here(Toronto) to say….Chicago.

A few years ago when it was hard to find merchants who had a deal with Air Miles, I think it took me a year to

compile sufficient Air Miles to get me to Pickering,……. well maybe Ajax but not Oshawa!

Given that backdrop you can appreciate how wildly enthusiastic I was when Air Miles reported I had amassed more

4 thousand!

Because two members of our household are heading west in a few weeks it was the obvious moment to tap into the

Air Miles vault and  fly away to Calgary YYC.  So I googled Air Miles.Ca….and what followed was several hours of unsolicited frustration.

I didn’t know some organizations actually work hard to create an endless parade of  poppycock and phiffle.  My first impression was the Air Miles people

actually wanted me to be successful in  my quest.  They sent me an e-mail saying they were “glad that I was interested

in redeeming my AIR MILES reward miles for booking a flight.”   The e-mail names a roster of airlines that were at my service, some of which I’d never heard of…

Central Mountain Air,  Canadian North, Calm Air,  Horizon Air–and the biggies, Air Canada, West Jet etc…all I was assured would give me,  personal service voluntarily,

after all this is a service industry!!!!! “If you want to book right away, gushed the e-mail simply click on  “continue to flight results.”  Of course that doesn’t get

you anywhere–fool, that’s me!!   There are no other tabs or widgets or prompts to get you to “booking-a-flight,”  so we went  back to Air Miles.ca.

At this stage I wanted to ask Teresa-that helpful person from whom I received the e-mail, a couple of questions but she was beyond my growing frustration.  I wanted to call her because

near the end of the email she wrote “feel free to let me know  if I can be of  “additional assistance to you.”

That of course its poppycock because it says quite plainly in another part of the air miles website …”we assure you  that we will reply to your questions within 3 to 5 business days!!!!

OK so Teresa is not going to be of any help!!

Let’s go book something. Here we go,  from travel assistance to a place to type in flying from YYC to YXE, but it will not let you enter the date on which you want to fly.

OK, I’ll just punch find flight info–uh oh, here’s a flag–it says: “oops, there is an error in your flight search please check the highlighted fields and try your search again.”

OK, so now if you punch in the to and fro(again) they will also allow you to punch in the date you want to fly!!  Search..search..search–uh oh, another message:

there’s no availability on the dates you have selected.”  And then they let you know there’s a cash option.  KAZAM.  Magically there’s a flight for me.  Cost $273.28!

Thanks for nothing Air Miles.  Let me try something else.  So I checked in with the FLIGHT NETWORK— YYC to YXE:  cost $188.00.

I booked that flight for two,  saved almost $200 dollars and spent no AIR Miles just so I can drive myself nuts in the future, (some rainy Wednesday afternoon) trying to book another flight to somewhere

with the assistance of  the Air Miles network!!!

Given the short supply of “available flights on the dates I wish to fly” Air Miles ought to add the GRACE L. FERGUSON STORM DOOR and FLYING COMPANY to their roster of airlines.

Bob Newhart would have understood and appreciated the falldara, gobbledygook and poppycock(or is that poopycock) of trying to book a ticket when there are” no available flights on the dates

you wish to fly.”  Pick another option!  How about another website!!!!!!

 BECAUSE You can’t get there from here!!

/…gasoline at the pumps: 126.1 at Sunoco, Shell, Esso, Husky and Petrocan.

Funny how they all picked the SAME number on the SAME day!  What do we need five major oil companies when they all charge the same price?

Why not have just one ?   Of course then you wouldn’t have all those different loyalty rewards programs, would you and that would be a shame.

?…the Competition bureau has stirred—it’s going after Bell, for not playing fair with us, consumers!!!!  More tomorrow.

/…For whom the Bell tolls, the Bell tolls for thee, English!!!

Beginning this year Sweden will be teaching Mandarin in all elementary schools!

Holy Toledo!!!

The Road Back

/…Michael Vick,  disgraced,  convicted as a felon,  excoriated by his former boosters,  booted from the NFL and sent to jail for five years is back.

Dropped four years ago by NIKE, the world’s largest sporting goods company, Vick has been re-signed by Nike to a multi-year contract.

Terms not disclosed….but the circle has been joined and the Philadelphia quarterback can say it, “the road’s been rough but I’m back………….

/…It was a stunning reversal of fortune moving DSK(Dominque Straus-Kahn) from  5 to 20 in Sing Sing to release

on his own recognizance and back on the road to the Elysee-Palace.  Before his strange encounter in a New York hotel suite he was being

given better than 2 to 1 odds of winning the French Presidency.  The encounter cost him his job at the IMF but he was preparing to leave that anyway

for the move on the Palace.  It will be some time before the image of the “perv” walk is erased and before that’s erased there will be some messy days in a New York courtroom.

But in France, DSK’s tangle with the New York police is looked upon as a badge of honour!  Make way for the DSK motorcade!!  Maybe?

/…Conrad Black was whiplashed in a Chicago court by Judge Amy St. Eve  and he’s going back to jail but there’s a silver lining….a couple of days after that shock, Black got some goods news!

Prosecutors told his lawyers they will be returning the 5 and a half million dollars they confiscated from the sale of his Manhattan apartment.

They have been holding the money for almost six years so he gets it back plus interest.  Lord Black is on his way back BUT not before the prison detour.  Nevertheless

the light on the other side of this tunnel is freedom road.

/…In Thailand, another stunner!  That country has elected its first female Prime Minister.

Yingluck Shinawatra, is the 44-year-old sister of Thaksin Shinawatra, the prime minister who was ousted in a military coup five years ago.

His sister has never held political office but she leads her Pheu Thai party to a majority in the Thai House of Representatives.  The hope is with this majority

she can calm the nation that was wracked by deadly riots just last year.  Her victory is impressive when you consider the numbers…

Forty parties looking to fill 500 seats.  Her party wins over 300.  She’s earned substantial political capital which Thais are hoping will be spent wisely.

/…Now consider how easy it is to squander, political capital!   Rob Ford arrived at Toronto City Hall with immeasurable political capital  and even after

making some silly statements about blowing up work already done on solving transit problems, and sticking to that nonsense about Subways to Nowhere

he still had plenty.  So as he was about to embark on his seventh month into the job,  his approval rating  high and his political capital account flush,

(Political capital-never easy to attain and even harder to retain-look at Flinty Mc Guinty) why would he squander his largesse on such a stupid decision.

“If invited I will not come to the Pride Parade.” NO NO NO!  Substitute FATHEAD Ford  for MAYOR FORD!

…don’t take my word, that his Political Capital account has diminished  exponentially–check out Sue Ann Levy in today’s Sun.

She has been one of Mayor Ford’s major media boosters.  She writes, “in their six months in office, I have never seen the mayor and his advisers

screw up something so simple as recognizing an important community in this city and attending just one(only one) of a signature series of events.”

…  Sue-Ann Levy..The Sun July 3, 2011!

The Ford Political Capital account will not be replenished anytime soon and although there are supporters of his “hell no, I won’t go” mantra

you have to be seriously without political moxy or common sense to see Ford’s decision as anything but goofy!!!

His road back is uphill!!!

/…Others who are finding the road back difficult include Federer, the Williams sisters and Sharapova in tennis and

of course Tiger Woods.  His ride continues on a muddy road.  Lost his wife, his children, his home, his stroke and his health with no prospect

of finding the Road Back, at least in the foreseeable future!!!

…and you can fool all of the people some of the time……..

Call this a classic example of how to achieve irrelevance at the stroke of a pen! The so-called ‘supply and confidence‘ agreement between Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh is really an agreement to supply Trudeau with the confidence to take full control of his agenda. It’s the fulfilment of the vision that evaded him on September 30th, 2021. Wow, there is a fairy princess that rewards political scoundrels. Jagmeet Singh is the answer to Justin’s desire to run a country just like Chairman Xi does. Power is all Trudeau wants and now he has it. But what about his partner, the one that just turned his back on the 3 million, 36 thousand, 348 Canadians who voted for Singh and the party he was leading in the last election? What happens to 17.83% of the electorate that has just become a statistic? Read political refugees! Of course The Justin-Jagmeet agreement enunciates the motherhood issues. They include climate change, health care spending, economic growth and efforts to make life more affordable, issues espoused by New Democrats everywhere. But this agreement is designed for a leader and a follower. The nexus of the pact puts Trudeau in control of the legislative agenda for the next three years supported by Jagmeet Singh. Every vote of confidence, every budgetary initiative will be tabled by the leader and supported by the follower. Simple Simon meets the Pieman. Singh naively believes, “I will remain critical, we’re going to remain an opposition party.” No you won’t. You have been emasculated. It gets worse. Not only do the New Democrats have to support Trudeau on his confidence and monetary initiatives, but if the opposition brings forward what Trudeau considers a frivolous motion designed to interfere with his agenda, he will inform Singh this is now a matter of confidence and his group of emasculated MPs must support the government. Essentially you are looking at this picture, the people versus Justin Trudeau. It’s a reality of several situations; Erdogan in Turkey, Putin in Russia, Xi in China, Kim Jong-un in North Korea, to name a few. Canada’s government is now a “coalition of planning” in which the Prime Minister gets absolute support on legislation that absent the Singh-Trudeau hookup would be a Mission of the Impossible. The (supply & confidence) pact means every motion of non-confidence will be vaporized!

Grudgingly you have to admire Trudeau the lesser. In the space of seven years he has eliminated Harper, Scheer, O’Toole, and Mulcair without firing a shot. And now he has neutralized Singh, who might have been his most persistent critic while a prospective Conservative leader is months away from the debate. Justin Trudeau’s World Economic Forum patron Klaus Schwab will be very pleased.

Jagmeer Singh………….pathetic

Among the multitude of images Canadians saw over the past four weeks the saddest was watching Jagmeet Singh play Justin Trudeau’s lapdog! Obviously Trudeau would not have so boldly called on the Emergencies Act if he risked Parliamentary defeat. His insurance was the leader of the NDP, Jag Singh. Trudeau choreographed the nightmare, with his cast of acolytes and they piled on the threats and the penalties turning in a slam bam Siberian Serenade and after we digested the incomprehensible call to arms against the truckers eyes turned to Jagmeet Singh. If there was sanity in the room we hoped it would come from the NDP. Normally it does. But Singh was not very reassuring as he told the nation the Prime Minister would get his support only if the proposed invocation of the Emergencies Act wasn’t overarching. A moment of doubt. But then Trudeau declared this vote was one of Confidence. At that point, hope left the building. The scenes that followed showed Jagmeet Singh and his Liberal friends embarrass themselves to the the nation as they advocated for Jagmeet’s friend, Justin, his WEF buddy. Lies, more lies, and exaggerations came in torrents. For a leader whose party above all others represents the worker, Singh not only lied about the nature of the Ottawa Protest, he did so with venom. Singh and his liberal buddies told us repeatedly how the Truckers and their supporters had disrupted the lives of Ottawa citizens for two weeks and refused to go home, so, Trudeau said, “we’ll take all their money AND their trucks and see how far they get.” During various microphone opportunities the Trudeau cabinet members Blair, Freeland, Mendicino, including buddy Singh, talked incessantly about two weeks of border disruptions and losses, first of the hundreds of thousands in trade lost and then millions and loss of sleep and loss of business in Ottawa. But nobody, not Trudeau, not his buddy Jag, nor ministers Blair, Freeland, Mendicino or any others ministers mentioned the Two Years the entire country has been closed up, shut down, partially opened, shut down again, threatened, misled, in fact, mandated to death literally. Relatives, friends gone, years of lost schooling, shuttered businesses never to again to see the light of day!

Proving again Amnesia is the first thing an Ottawa bound politician packs.

You probably noticed the very moment the unwanted travellers were being being verbally scourged in the Commons, they were on Wellington street singing and dancing lifting their spirits and probably wishing the fuel for their stoves had not been stolen by the police and their soup kitchens hadn’t been destroyed by the men and women that were plotting their imminent demise. The singing and dancing fools Trudeau said were vivid reminders that threats had failed to move these deplorables and their “unacceptable” opinions until now. Knowing that their comeuppance was at hand, Trudeau salivated and Singh genuflected. And why not. These two are buddies working the same side of the street under the watchful eye of their steepling guru, Klaus Schwab. Trudeau and Singh are members of the Young leaders contingent of the World Economic Forum. The WEF is home of the great reset, advocating a digital identity scheme, the foundation of a global social credit system. And so people want to know, if Jagmeet Singh is wearing two hats which one dominates? Is he a national leader in the Canadian Parliamentary System or is he an operative within the walls of a system that espouses the dismantling of the Canadian Parliamentary System? Jagmeet Singh’s unquestioning support of the Trudeau gambit has neutralized the influence of the New Democratic caucus. It was complicit in the decision to give police and banks sweeping powers to imprison and seize the assets of ordinary Canadians without due process. The support of Jagmeet Singh and his NDP colleagues made it happen. Trudeau can’t win without the New Democrats, which means they must support him as Parliament continues to tackle critical issues that target freedom of expression. And Jagmeet Singh cannot win wearing two hats unless the other New Democrats have been anesthetized. From here on the NDP is the support arm of the Trudeau minority.

Jagmeet Singh opted to force fellow Canadians to face police with attitude, guns, dogs , horses, batons and tear gas. Without any evidence Jagmeet Singh claimed, ” this is not a protest!” It is not peaceful.”

Jagmeet Singh and his NDP cronies agreed Trudeau needed Marshall Law ,”to tow the trucks.

Destruction will come to workers of iniquity…..

A majority of Canadians still believe their governments, really care about their welfare! That’s unfortunate. The truth is they don’t. The proof is as resounding as it is sad. If your government really cared, why would it lie to you repeatedly about just about everything? Why would Trudeau’s former Health Minister call Vitamin D fake news? Why would Doug Ford’s current Health Minister want to punish doctors following the Hippocratic Oath of Ethics? How does Ontario’s Premier know the Covid vaccines are safe? Truth is he doesn’t, so why does he support mandates? Why would the Prime Minister lie about the character of the huge majority of truckers that serve us 365? Calling the Truckers Convoy a “fringe minority with unacceptable opinions” reminds us that his popular support in the last election staggered in with 32% of the National vote. That’s the truth. Why does the Ontario health ministry deliberately ignore Covid reality that has been delivered from Israel, Kiribati, Australia, Denmark, United Kingdom, Johns Hopkins, China, Pfizer and many other jurisdictions with the latest numbers? The Ministry refuses to acknowledge hiding this truth, that an overwhelming number of Ontarians sick with varying degrees of COVID 19 are vaxxed, double vaxxed and boosted as well. Dr. Kieran Moore (Ontario’s Chief Medical officer of Health) could explain. Call the Ministry and ask for real numbers that remain shrouded in secrecy. Truth will out eventually. But why wait? Let’s get the exact the date when the double-vaxxed became the majority of Covid infected. On the tenth of December 2021, officials sitting at the Ontario Science Table saw the light. That’s the day Sars-cov-2 became the Pandemic of the double-vaxxed! Anybody in government share that information with the hoi polloi? You know the answer. Could you explain the extent of Ontario’s deceit in the face of irrefutable proof coming to us from so many sources? Today the difference : Vaxxed to Unvaxxed is 80% to 20% among the newly infected. Our Ontario death toll over the past few weeks has escalated. But who has been dying? We don’t know because Ontario has been unable to produce an honest broker relative to truth in numbers. We remember Joe Biden’s promise to his people, “here’s the deal, get vaccinated and you won’t even get sick.” That was a lie and today Ontario carries on with the Biden fabrication, among others. Look around and know that Ontario’s medical and political deciders are not following objective science. Which fairy tale science are they following? Why the one they continue foist on the people of Ontario. Officials at Queen’s Park probably have a name for it.

In Australia’s largest state, 76% of Covid deaths since mid January came from the vaxxed column. As of January 30, 2022 Denmark admitted ITS truth. Failure of all Covid controls (including vaccines.) Alex Berenson’s newsletter notes, “in that Scandinavian country all restrictions have been dropped not because they worked but because they didn’t.” Denmark is more than 90% adult vaccinated now with daily new infection numbers that puts it up there with Israel, a country with one of highest per capita rates of infection among the 232. As of February 3, 2022, 10 countries lifted an assortment of Covid restrictions, because their prescriptions to flatten the curve were dead on arrival. But let’s focus on Israel. Once the darling of Pfizer’s chief scientist, it is now a pariah. Why? Obvious answer. After 4 shots, including two boosters, Israel has been buried by bad news. In May of 2020, Israel reported 192 new Covid infections. On February 11, 2022 Israel reported 27,047 new Covid infections. It is the most vaccinated country among the 232, now with the highest per capita infection totals. Israel is one more country telling us that the most vaccinated countries have the highest Covid numbers. Tragically thousands tuning into the CBC National news or the CTV National news were never told. Understand the Danish, Israeli and Aussie experiences do not reflect what Canadians have been allowed to see and hear on those channels of virtual truth because it contradicts what they have been feeding these sheep for a couple of years. Didn’t read it in the Globe and Mail either, that bastion of the self righteous subsidized scribes. How about Kiribati, a country in Oceania, population 119,436. Finding itself in early 2020 with 7 thousand Covid infected and no immediate access to the vaccine, it focused on early treatment using re-purposed drugs and supplements prescribed by the Fareed-Tyson protocol. 7-thousand patients treated. None died! Somehow Kiribati’s over-whelming success eluded Mr. Science Tony Fauci and the genius apparatchiks at C.D.C., F.D.A and W.H.O. What about the analysis from Johns-Hopkins of “lock downs, border closings, school closings, and limited gatherings”? It revealed a significant conclusion, “the draconian proclamations issued and enforced in the jurisdictions analyzed had no noticeable effect on Covid 19 mortality.” Johns-Hopkins found they reduced the mortality rate by .2%. And wouldn’t you know it, this substantial analysis of many previous studies was studiously ignored by CBC, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WAPO, Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star. Why? Why would so-called responsible outlets who claim to always bring you the latest truthful news ignore this study? Perhaps it came too far above the level of deceit they are used to giving you! The Corporate Media have sacrificed honesty and truth and morphed into Praetorian, the Bastard’s personal head of security, a corrupt superhero.

What you read here today is a fraction of verifiable material available to all Canadians that will help you decide the difference between truth and fiction. Given today’s corruption of Media you must become your own editor. You will find there’s a wide chasm between News Truth and News Virtual.

We should all be concerned that today’s governments have lost the true meaning of being elected to serve. The erosion must be repaired before we all become serfs.

“Whoever spreads slander is a fool.” It’s proverbial.
