The dirty little huge secret — ar at least ONE of them — about electric cars is starting to reveal itself. The batteries die, the warranty is over, and now what?The National Post conducted an informal survey of Western Canadian Nissan dealerships to ask the cost of replacing a battery pack on a 2013 Nissan Leaf. Estimates ranged from $8,000 to an eyewatering $30,953.28 plus $1,200 in labour. That’s what.

So yeah, electric cars are not ready for prime time. But thanks for subsidizing all that junk that will now end up in our landfills, governments. 08/13/2021 9:53:09 AM


Vancouver Sun
The BC NDP occasionally betrays its native instincts, wherein they play out their perceived role as big yummy socialist mommy to the people (or daddy, or whatever these woke trendies call moms and dads these days — I think it’s “non-binary parental unit” or something). They sincerely believe the government’s role is to look after the plebeians like they are their helpless children, and provide everything from healthcare to housing and basic income and food and liquor and safety and entertainment and pot and car insurance and all the way up to emotional support and comfort… to all the stupid people (which is all the people aside from themselves who are super smart and far more capable and more mature and super-elite, make no mistake).

Some small towns are suffering from an unusually troublesome wildfire season, and the nobs at the NDP tweet this out: “Wildfire season is scary, and that’s OK.”  It got a lot of backlash, and what did the NDP do? Delete it and grovel out an equally sucky apology, as if I had to tell you.

Aside from that sickeningly patronizing, paternalistic (or maternalistic, or non-binary or LQBTQII@%@) and gratingly condescending tone, they of course had to do it with that equally vomit-inducing and ever so trendy and woke-aware pro-gay Twitter logo.

Here’s a hot take:

Ivison: Trudeau’s about to call an election with no purpose — other than to gain more power

Thanks Captain Obvious. And where were you when BC’s NDP premier John Horgan called an election last fall in the middle of his term and in the very midst of the Wuhan Virus (which they insist on calling “COVID-19” for some weird China-dictated reason)? I know. You were in Canada Ontario.

Twitter (ugh)
I can confirm that Global News’ Mercedes Stephenson confirms in her tweet that others report that… well, let’s let her say it and avoid adding yet another source to confirm in her string: “Global News can confirm the Reuters, CBC and La Presse reporting that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to visit the Governor General on Sunday asking to dissolve Parliament and go to the polls.”

Presumably, this will be after Trudeau attends church, where he might be expected to beg for forgiveness, before asking the same of Canadians.

Biden’s polling is going south. Which is where half the country thinks he should go.

Coincidentally, on the eve of a “snap” (snap my foot) election here, a good portion of Canada thinks their leader (government leader, or “leader”) should join Joe. I would suggest Venezuela.

New York Post
You might not even have heard, because nearly the entire “news” media industrial complex — especially in Canada — is trying to bury it, but another lefty Democratic governor has been officially outed as a lying, arrogant, elitist, sexist, self-important, hypocritical asshole. He quit before going through the spectacle of impeachment and being carried out of office by police officers (those who still remain in New York after all the defunding and general state-leaving).

One story quotes an enraged Megyn Kelly who told them, “Now we find out they [the governor Andrew Cuomo and his asshole brother, star CNN “news” host Chris Cuomo, who still works there happily] work together to silence these women and attack these 11 accusers that came forward against Andrew Cuomo, none of whom came from any positions of power,” she said.


How generous

Globe and Mail
Big news. What the hell else are you going to do with unused, expiring doses that you bought for no reason? But at least it makes Trudeau and Team Liberal look generous in time for the “snap” (snap my foot) election.

Here’s a counter-proposal: how about you donate them to all those nimrods I see walking around outside, in the great outdoors, by themselves, or with their friend or family member, likely fully vaccinated, with their big-ass face masks on?

Tim Hortons is so Canadian “eh?” But soon, mostly Chinese, perhaps. So… Chinese-Canadian? Canadian-Chinese? How about we just get ahead of the curve and call it Chinese?

The expand in China no matter how evil the communist regime is continues apace in the ever-so moral corporate world. This example is being led by Silver Crest Acquisition, which is led by chairman Leon Meng. It is a U.S.-listed special purpose acquisition company backed by Greater China-focused private equity firm Ascendent Capital Partners. Re-read that and spot the word “Canada” or “Canadian.”

You should ask for a double-double-double for your next cup —the last double being a double dollop of a modicum of morality. Or just go to a locally-owned coffee joint and get something better.


Financial Post
“Follow the Science™” my butt. “Oh nozzz, da Climate Crisis!™” my butt.

The Biden administration pleading with OPEC to increase oil production to rescue the United States from high fuel prices months after cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline smacks of hypocrisy,” Alberta Energy Minister Sonya Savage said in a statement Wednesday. “Keystone XL would have provided Americans with a stable source of energy from a trusted ally and friend.”

But it would have cost votes him votes from the “Follow the Science™” set.


Oregonlive.com
Today in Leftists Wrecking America (and Canada too), back on July 14, Oregon Governor Kate Brown [DEM, as if I had to tell you] skipped standard procedure and quietly signed a bill axing many graduation requirements for a high school diploma in Oregon. Under Senate Bill 744, students will no longer be required to prove that they can read, write or do math at a high school level to graduate. The Governor’s spokesperson claimed that removing such requirements will benefit “Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.” Hillary Borrud covered the story for The Oregonian. —Via my FAIR email newsletter/update.


Financial Post
Preston Manning wrote yesterday, “Whereas the Trudeau style involves the stoking of public fears by the leader in order to secure public support for the health-protection policies of his government, ‘Churchill demonstrated a striking trait: the knack of making people feel loftier, stronger, and above all more courageous” – fearless, not fearful, in the midst of a crisis.'” True that. He’s speaking of the 2020 Erik Larson best-selling book The Splendid and the Vile, coincidentally coming out in 2020 of all years, which describes in great detail how Prime Minister Winston Churchill taught the British people “the art of being fearless” in the face of a national crisis — Hitler’s attacks on the British Isles during World War Two. Another line: “Whereas timidity and caution tend to characterize the Trudeau style, Churchill displayed the opposite. In seeking to inspire courage and hope among Londoners as the German bombs fell, Churchill showed conspicuous “disregard for his own safety.” He often refused to wear a helmet or scurry to the bomb shelter as soon as the warning sirens sounded. Time and time again he ventured out to be among the victims of the bombings even while the bombardment was still raging…”. In contradistinction, I will always remember Justin Trudeau with that big-ass black mask covering half his head as he cowered in his “bunker” cottage.

National Post (and others)
Bringing new meaning to the phrase “light on details,” the NatPo writes up a story (“Moderna to build a vaccine plant in Canada with federal cash, Champagne to announce“) with precisely no details. But at least it helps the Trudeau Liberal election campaign. To wit: “The deal is coming just days before a federal election is expected to be called and is light on details, but the drug giant is committed to building a plant somewhere in Canada that could supply the domestic market with vaccines.” And that’s it for the “details.” No  “details” on the corporate welfare dollar amount from the federal government to Moderna, a nearly $200 BILLION-dollar and notably American company whose share price has gone from $15.73 (USD) before the government-induced pandemic to $474.52 now. And Moderna is already expanding on its own accord for its own profit. Motley Fool reports: “The company is also investing in technology improvements and beefing up its global commercial operations.”

Vancouver Sun (and others)
Get woke, go broke, they say, now that the evidence is piling up. Or as I say, go woke, get bent. Or go woke, screw you, you idiot. The first one rolls off the tongue better, I admit. In this “news” story, that idiot woke idiot (she’s an idiot) soccer “star” Megan Rapinoe is losing her fan base (which is comprised of everyone politically left of Mitch McConnell) —and now also losing her idiot corporate woke idiot sponsor, Subway. Because she’s an idiot woke idiot. And so is Subway (and their food is grotesque and bad for you).“We are so politically divided in this country and Subway should have done more careful due diligence, without a doubt, before choosing [Rapinoe],” John Gordon of Pacific Management Consulting Group told The Post. … One Arizona operator said: “Spending our money to make a political statement is completely and totally out of bounds.”  That’s correct. And soccer-y, to boot. He’s not an idiot.


Globe & Mail
17 paragraphs, before they finally tell you the salient facts. This is how the liberals’ news media division roll, these days, when forced to report (or more accurately, they “report”) on their ideological allies — as they did today regarding disgraceful New York Governor Cuomo. The 4th paragraph informs us, “She didn’t give a more specific reason for her resignation.” It took until the 17th for them to mention: “DeRosa was mentioned 187 times in the attorney general’s report, which detailed the administration’s efforts to discredit some of his accusers. The report described DeRosa as a central figure in his office’s retaliation against one of the women…”. They entirely neglected to mention (oops!) that both DeRosa and that “metoo” activist (!!), Roberta Kaplan, together, schemed — utterly immorally — when they “reviewed a draft letter aimed at discrediting Cuomo accuser Lindsey Boylan…”. That part was reported, properly, only at the National Review.

 


humanprogress.org
THE WORLD IS(n’t) BURNING!!! One of my favorite news sites, HumanProgress.org, always has the goods. The good news, that is. Most of their articles imply the likes of, “you know how the news media says [this or that dismal or dire thing]? Well actually, that’s wrong…”. They take out the fake and often alarmist “news” trash, and present the actual, and most often actually positive, facts. Here’s an example: Forest fires are literally burning BC to the ground! And the world is burning ahhhh! That’s what we hear. Now here’s the fact: that’s incorrect. See chart at left and click it for full size. FEEL THE BURN, freak-out artists and alarmists!

 


Fraser Institute
More than a “fair share” — A new Fraser Institute study out today shows that the top 20% of income-earning families pay more than half of total taxes including personal income, sales and property taxes.Compare that to the bottom 20% of income-earning families who earn 5.5% of total income, but pay just 2.3% of total taxes. 

 


WeThePeople.wine
You’ve seen all those insufferable virtue-signaling ads put on by trying-to-seem-woke corporations like Nike, and numerous other such posers, who seem (pretend?) to hate everything about America and its history and notably its straight white people — especially the awful males. Just like BLM, and many others on the left. The same applies to Canada, because, well, Canadian idiocy. You had to know there were other companies out there with their execs and staff grinding their teeth in frustration or even disgust — just like you. So it is encouraging to see a company that is openly on the RIGHT side, for once, and one that is fighting back against that woke idiocy. Watch for more of that, as one company emboldens another. And watch this video —you’ll be glad you did.

National Post
And here is the quote of the week so far:
“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s inability to meet his emission promises is matched only by his .000 batting average on hitting his budget deficit targets. Yet he no doubt intends to campaign on both, boasting of a record voters seem unable to notice is a hollow chamber echoing in emptiness.”
—Kelly McParland, columnist, in “Why the climate change crusade has failed“.

 


Vancouver Sun
After a spate of Montreal criminal gang-related illegal shootings by criminals for whom obtaining guns is illegal, obtaining ammunition is illegal, possessing guns is illegal, shooting guns is illegal, and killing people is illegal, the mindless nobs getting paid copious amounts of taxpayer money who are “managing” Montreal are blaming not themselves, not the gangs, not their inability or unwillingness to empower police to control gangs, keep the peace or reduce gang activity, and not their pandemic-related idiocy, but… the guns themselves. Not the criminals’ guns either, but rather ALL people’s guns.  The Vancouver Sun wrote that the mayor’s associate chief of staff (holy huge bureaucracy, Batman), Guillaume Cloutier asked, with regard to a province and a country whose gun control laws are among the strongest, toughest, and most ridiculous on the globe, “How many years do we have to wait — and how many deaths — before we have a strong law on gun control?”
Vote liberal. Get more of this kind of illogical, non-science-based, data-ignorant, idiotspeak.

 


National Post
All those politicians pretending to be worried about “dangerous” “misinformation” “threatening” “democracy” (and so on), should tune in to CNN and see how misinformation is really done right. “CNN’s Chris Cuomo named in Andrew Cuomo harassment report, doesn’t address it on his show.” And the NatPo article is from the Washington Post, which loves them some Democrats (and any other leftist, “progressive,” wokester, or UN member).

 


Redstate.com
Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who defended themselves and their home with their beautiful guns against a mob of BLM rioters and sundry other left-wing thugs who were going around the country burning things down and beating and killing people last year, especially white people, have been pardoned by the state’s more lucid governor. The couple — in their 60s — both lawyers — faced serious criminal charges leveled against them by idiot woke political prosecutors (Democrats all) who forgot about justice and fairness and common sense, and instead joined the mob of idiots and racist nutbars, and declared… they had no right to defend themselves and their home! …to the cheers of the “news” media “reporting” on all this.

 


Daybreak Insider
New York’s idiot mayor, Bill de Blasio (D), declared that masks must be worn — even if you’re vaccinated — or you won’t be allowed indoors. So it’s masks forever, as in, New York City will be a masked city for the foreseeable future (until they elect a Republican or any random person who isn’t an idiot). They seem to have forgotten about their whole left-wing trope about black people being too dumb to get proper documents to vote. Daybreak wrote, “And here’s where it gets dicey: Blacks in New York City are only 31 percent fully vaccinated; by far the lowest percentage among the listed races (NYC).  If a Republican made the same declaration, the headlines would declare the effort a banning of blacks in restaurants…”. And as if I need to prove it to you: “Mayor of Boston equates proof of vaccination mandates to slavery as NYC mayor makes it policy“.

 


Fox News Channel
Fox News claims the (other) news media are silent on this scandal — potentially one of the greatest scandals of our time. So I went to look at all the media to verify, ’cause that’s what I do. Yup. Silent. Spot CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, CTV, CBC or any of the other identically biased “news” outlets listed in this search? Nope. Hard to find any reporting on this at this time.

 


Daily Caller
Andrew Cuomo, the horrible Governor of New York state, whose terrible decisions and corrupt coverups led to the Wuhan Virus deaths of countless thousands of elderly New Yorkers, has today been accused by the AG — herself a Democrat — of multiple sexual misconduct violations of state and federal law. Even the Democrat’s CNN, where the Gov’s brother conveniently “works” as a “news” “anchor,” and who, we now know, advised him on how to “manage” the news media around this issue (you know, as any objective “news” “man” would), and their MSNBC divisions —are both covering it. Well, at least they are for the next ten minutes. Let’s see if he’s jailed.
HAHAHAjustkiddingasif.

 


Megan Phelps-Roper – Substack
Remember that story about that “Karen” who called the cops on a black dude (which the media made sure you knew was a black dude), and which the media portrayed as “yet another” story of “raaaacism!”, because (paraphrasing), “that white racist bitch only called the cops because he was black” and so on? Yeah. What it was “yet another” one of, was yet another news media total lie. The Real Story of “The Central Park Karen”

 


Vancouver Sun
Chinese Tycoon Jailed For 18 Years
. Yeah. Seems right. After all, he was “picking quarrels and provoking troubles” with the Communist Party elites, according to the jack-booted Chinese Communist “justice” authorities. I imagine I’d be in a great deal of trouble with Justin Trudeau and his cadre of idiots and tyrannical nutbars in the Liberal Party of Woke Asses if we were more like China. Hey! No wonder some* people in Canada “admire that basic dictatorship”!
(P.S. — I can’t find the article online at any of the PostMedia papers — just in their eprint versions. I wonder if they pulled a KODAK and bowed to their Chinese Communist masters after a stern rebuke from China’s ambassador.)
*Justin Trudeau, ass.

 


Vancouver Sun
Where’s my mind at? Possibly in the gutter. Or maybe I’m lacking sleep. But when I was glancing through the e-paper version of the Vancouver Sun just now, I wondered to myself how a company got away with publishing an ad with a photo of a, um, manly part contained within. (Click to see full manly size image.)
Remember when they used to say ads for whiskey contained subliminal images you could find, if you studied it real hard, within the cubes of ice in the glass full o’ scotch? I never could find those supposedly sex-related subliminal images. But this I saw without even trying. It’s an ad for the Financial Weiner. I mean the Financial Post.

 


National Post
“…the 62-year-old former leader said Western societies should strive to make “constant progress,” it should not be premised on the assumption that “everything is wrong and terrible and awful.”
That’s Stephen Harper (miss him yet?) in a podcast this week (click the video at left), as written up in the NatPo.

 


Globe and Mail
Headline: SFU academic assails Canada’s criticism of China on human rights. It opens: A professor at one of Canada’s major [taxpayer-funded -ed] universities has written a column for a state-run newspaper in China in which she defends Beijing’s record on ethnic minorities such as the Uyghurs and argues Canadians are being thoughtless and self-righteous in accusing the Chinese government of genocide in Xinjiang. Yuezhi Zhao holds the Canada Research Chair in Political Economy of Global Communication at Simon Fraser University. It goes on…A spokesperson for Simon Fraser University, Melissa Shaw, said “all faculty members have the right to academic freedom” when asked to comment on Prof. Zhao’s column.…To which we all reply, in unison, BULL. Leftist — possibly Communist — BULL.

 


Globe and Mail
SNOB CITY — Last week they were dismissing pickup truck drivers as the worst humans on earth, the scourge of humanity, causing, and I quote, “a plague” on Canada. Seriously. Today, a Globe and Mail columnist once again assumes the role of One of Our Elite Betters. And thus, he sounds rabidly anti-American (like I mean he just hates America and Americans), like yet another smug Canadian who thinks Canada is oh so far above America in every way, he acts the big toughy but is hiding behind his newspaper and its lawyers and its cash (some of it taxpayers’) like a coward, he sets out to bully a young Olympian using his nasty bully pulpit in nearly the most negative way I can possibly imagine, and behaves as if being the irrepressible “polite Canadian” (a notion which summons barf) is The Most Important Thing On Ye Burning Earth, and then goes on (and on, and on) about the notion that… an athlete not wearing a mask is… “bad manners.” He betrays himself and his paper as utter jerks. GOLD MEDAL, Cathal Kelly!

 


Delta Optimist
Local, but the story is increasingly pandemic — “No bids to fix Delta boat launch“. You know you’ve got a problem when a government contract goes out to bid (meaning Big Guaranteed Bucks!), and not one single company in an area with millions of residents and thousands of businesses even bothers to submit a bid. And then you get to the nut of the matter: “Parks, Recreation and Culture director Ken Kuntz told council it’s a complex project requiring three senior levels of government approvals.” It’s a freakin’ wharf! A small one! But increasingly, businesses are running out of time and patience dealing with GOVERNMENTS and their myriad rules, regulations, approval steps, enviro regs, sundry political complications, and on, and on, and on, ad infinitum. The city has now hired an engineering firm just to “help move the approval process along.” It now takes a specialized engineering firm to get thru the approval process? Dear God.

 


Fraser Institute
A new study shows Canada is experiencing a significant loss of investment, and it isn’t in just the oil and gas industry. In “Industry-Level Private Sector Capital Expenditures in Canada: 1990-2019,” they write, “The country’s recent weak investment performance, especially in machinery and equipment plus intellectual property products, which is so critical to improving productivity, augurs poorly for future productivity growth in Canada’s private sector and underscores the urgency of tax and regulatory reforms to strengthen incentives for investment and entrepreneurship in Canada’s business sector.” Good job, government. Good planning, Trudeau Libs.

 


Bari Weiss, Substack
Incredible story. Incredible journalism. “Bearing Witness to China’s ‘Orwellian Dystopia’. Except I’m not sure it’s just China that is acting in Orwellian fashion. America’s KODAK, Inc., has now grovelled, like psychotic sycophants, to China, in one of the worst displays of cowardice and kiss-assery toward the Communist tyrants in China, that I’ve seen to date. (And wait until you read why.) To wit:

“For a long time, Kodak has maintained a good relationship with the Chinese government and has been in close cooperation with various government departments. We will continue to respect the Chinese government and the Chinese law.
“We will keep ourselves in check and correct ourselves, taking this as an example of the need for caution.”

DO NOT USE KODAK PRODUCTS. DUH.


Vancouver Sun, Financial Post, Bloomberg, et al.
Licking Justin Trudeau’s face is a gross thought, clearly, but it’s what the “news” media does, so we should confront that fact. To wit: “Trudeau to provide $5.2B for Newfoundland hydro project” in the Sun. “Trudeau” will do that? “Trudeau” my overtaxed ass. Obviously, it’s YOU and YOUR money which Trudeau literally took out of your pants, and then “provided” to the Newfies. But nice try, Sun. (No, it wasn’t even.)

Bloomberg went with the hideous Trudeau unveils $5.2B for Newfoundland hydro project”. So the new word for taxing the shit out of you, is “unveils”. Pay your “unveilings” everybody! The Financial Post went with the slightly improved Ottawa to invest billions in Newfoundland’s troubled Muskrat Falls power project”. “Ottawa?” (And “invest”.) Give me a large personal break. Preferably a tax break.


Vancouver Sun
A tale of bullshitters: but at least the Sun got it sort of right in their print edition (only). B.C. Racks Up Record 5.5B Deficit. Online, they went the CBC way. See, the state-owned CBC, which literally relies on the socialist mindset and socialist politics for its very “business model” (hahaha) and its survival, skirted facts, truth, and principles entirely in this case, headlining with the positive BS spin as if provided directly by the NDP gov itself: B.C.’s budget deficit lower than forecast at $5.5B: finance minister. It betrays these “journalists” as activists instead. And as obviously sympathetic, rather than dubious and challenging — as is their job — of the ruling socialist NDP in BC, and their obvious BS spin.

 


Wall Street Journal
Why Is the FDA Attacking a Safe, Effective Drug? Ivermectin! There I said it. Now, weird zombie people will attack me. Why? Because according to numerous scientific folks, it is an effective treatment and preventative medicine against the Wuhan Virus (oops I did it again), it’s been around for ages so it’s well tested, it’s dirt cheap, and it’s safer than most drugs. Plus it’s a pill, so we’d not have to see newspapers glibly refer to “the jab” every five seconds. Very odd story here which needs further investigation.

 


State-Owned CBC
They gleefully report, without any qualification, Women now the majority in N.W.T.’s  legislative assembly after byelection win.” Aren’t they concerned about those women “dominating” the poor men? Or how this isn’t fair or equal? Ohhhhzz the sexism!
And that anti-male piece came right after this sexist piece of sexist sexism: “Women are dominating Canada’s performance at the Olympics – just as expected.” Just as expected? So…. isn’t it well past time for a massive funding increase for men’s sports? Perhaps a Ministry of Men? Ohhhhhz the anti-men sexism!

 


Daily Wire
Listen to Ben Shapiro’s always excellent podcast —this episode called “F*** The CDC”. Need I say more about it? No. But Ben has lots more to say (at his super-brain speed and his 80,000 words per minute as usual. I dare you to keep up).

Daily Caller
News anchor position available at CNN?
“CNN’s John Berman Asks CDC Director ‘Why The Hell’ Vaccinated People Have To Wear Masks”.
Apparently, he’s still employed by the Democrats’ CNN division! Next thing you know, he’ll make a racist joke.

 


Toronto Sun
Columnist Brian Lilley gets this baby right:
“You can be in excruciating pain, be in need of diagnostic services, in desperate need of a knee or hip operation to recover your mobility and health and Trudeau will fight against private clinics. But when it comes to abortion, any province that doesn’t give money to private clinics will face his wrath. For Justin Trudeau, there is no greater reason to harness the private sector in health care than abortion.”
LILLEY: Trudeau plays abortion for votes

 


CTV News
CTV writes up a whole news article with the headline: “England scraps quarantine for fully vaccinated visitors from U.S., but not Canada” — but fails to even bother to mention “Canada” or touch on any explanation for Canada not being part of the UK’s opening plans, even once. Perhaps they need a government subsidy. Justin? Speaking of gov subsidies, the state-owned CBC actually did a better job of explaining. Hilariously, and I quote the CBC, “no reason has been given for the exclusion.”

 


CTV News
“The chair of Ben and Jerry’s board of directors says the company’s decision to no longer sell ice cream in the Israeli-occupied settlements is not anti-Semitic.”
We’ll be the judge of that. … Judge’s Verdict: Ben & Jerry’s is an outfit run by socialist activist idiots who apparently hate Jews and Israel and have demonstrated their anti-semitism here; and you should never eat their garbage ice cream which tastes awful anyway.

 


Global News
Want emails? Wait five years, Public Health Agency of Canada tells access requestor, in a move seemingly vying for the Justin Trudeau Award of Merit for the obtuse display of utter arrogance, lack of transparency, corruption, as well as something akin to deep state tyranny, and, of course, pure unadulterated assholery. Any competent PM would fire him. Obviously.

 


National Post
“The federal government could be running budget deficits until 2070 if current spending plans are not altered, according to estimates by the Parliamentary Budget Officer that have spurred warning calls over Canada’s fiscal position…”
Note how the liberals’ news media division all uniformly call it “The federal government” in bad news stories like this, instead of the factually accurate “The Liberals and NDP.”

 


Globe and Mail & National Review
For some state-control freaks (hi Justin! Hi Joe!), mask mandates have morphed from “preventing deaths” to “preventing all mankind from not feeling very well for a couple of days” —and ensuring that those who didn’t bother to get vaccinated don’t get infected by you, um, even though you’re inoculated. Biden continues his quest for state power; SOME in Canada go another way.

News media ditch the news business and switch to the history re-writing business, to sway voters in favor of progressives: Fact-Checkers Rewrite the History of Democrats’ Vaccine Skepticism. PolitiFact tells a whopper to cover for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Again. (Politifact is Facebook’s “fact-checker.”)

 


Toronto Star
Green Party is obviously nothing but a bunch of raaaaacists. Am I doing that right? Toronto Star headline must have tweaked some talk of raaaaacism there, among their self-esteemed editorial staff, no?! Headline: “‘She is killing the party’…”. But she’s black!
