Let Them Eat Taser

Globe and Mail;

A senior public servant at the Public Health Agency of Canada accepted an all-expenses-paid holiday to Jamaica courtesy of Air Canada Vacations in November, even as her agency has been advising Canadians since March to avoid non-essential travel to combat the spread of COVID-19.
 
Dominique Baker, the acting manager at PHAC’s Office of Border and Travel Health, flew with a friend to the upscale, all-inclusive Royalton Blue Waters resort in Montego Bay in mid-November.
 
Ms. Baker, who bills herself as a beauty, fashion and travel influencer on her off-work hours, posted a video a few hours after she arrived in Jamaica, calling the hotel suite with its own infinity pool “mind-blowing – whoa.”
 
“One of our two butlers is bringing us our pina coladas right now. No, we are not kidding – we have two butlers,” she says in the video. “Thank you, Air Canada Vacations. We are beside ourselves.”

More at National Post: “Dominique Baker is the manager of the office of border and travel health, a Public Health Agency of Canada program whose purpose is to keep communicable diseases out of Canada and reduce public health risks to travellers.” h/t Chris

  1. Why tf is a bureaucrat receiving free vacations from an airline? Is she masquerading as an “influencer” to serve as cover for corporations buying political influence?!! That sure as hell is what it seems like.

    Corruption.

      1. With her boss doing the same and worse all the time? She’d have every right and reason to take it to the tribunal, and “WE” would end-up paying her double plus costs.

        – Worked for Mike Duffy…

      2. Her entire department and “Ministry of” needs to be dissolved and all of the employees given lifetime bans from ever “working” or contracting for any form of government for eternity.

      1. “Ryan Baker (husband of Dominique Baker), is also a civil servant. He is the director of strategic communications at the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. Previously, he was director of communications for infectious disease, risk and emergency at Health Canada. For three months last fall, including the period when Dominique Baker was on vacation in Jamaica, he was a media adviser to Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer.”

    1. Bureaucrats cant take gifts. Private businesses cant give bureaucrats their box seats to an Ottawa Senators game so how the F does she keep her F’n job?

  2. The federal government’s diversity hiring is really working out well. Hopefully I’m not charged with being a domestic terrorist for saying that.

  3. She is “a person of colour” and so gets a free pass for her lack of ethics 😉
    Burn Loot Murder is not only tolerated but encouraged.
    hopefully this is obvious sarc but just in case consider this my notice of such!!!

    1. You racist pig.
      ………………….
      Ops, I may be going to jail for hate speech.

      1. No, you’re safe. Stewart is white, and Dominique Baker is black. Stewart, in criticizing the public service’s affirmative action program, did in fact make racist statement. I have notified the CHRC and CBC News, and this exchange of posts should be the lead item on the CBC National tonight. /sarc

        1. – And jojodogfacedboy, you’re next – pigs won’t stand for being compared to members of our government!

          /sarc, lest it need be said…

  4. Memo to anyone who reads this site…..Restricting any travel of any sort will not stop a fucking virus. ONCE MORE WITH FEELING, MASKS CAN’T STOP A VIRUS, SOCIAL DISTANCING CAN’T STOP A VIRUS, LOCKDOWNS CAN’T STOP A VIRUS AND POLITICIANS CAN’T STOP A VIRUS BUT THEY SURE AS SHIT CAN DESTROY YOUR LIFE.

    1. VOWG- I agree completely, and I think a lot of people here feel the same way. I have a little different take on this Covid hypocrisy.
      The hypocrisy is bad, it is inexcusable, but what really bugs me is this… we are now at a point where people are vilified for TAKING AN EFFING VACATION!

    2. I agree with everything you said……………..BUT the point is she works for the Govt so should be following the rules…………FIRE HER

      1. The Liberal way is to get caught with one’s hand in the till, apologize for being found out, and then continuing as if nothing happened. Rules are only for little people and conservatives. (Note the lower case “c”. The Conservative party, for the most part, is indistinguishable from the Liberals.)

    3. Well with one caveat…….restricting travel CAN stop a virus….but ONLY if it is done IMMEDIATELY and HARD. Like Taiwan. It knew that the China Communist Party and the W.H.O. were lying about the virus and as a result it slammed the door shut on Dec 31, 2019. As a result, it has the lowest death rate per million on the planet and it has also displayed the LOWEST “government stringency” index in regard to the virus. Consequently, Taiwan (with a population of 23.9 million) has a TOTAL of 7 deaths….yes, SEVEN. Canada, with a population of 37.9 million, has a total (so far) of 16,579 deaths. On a per million basis, the Canada death rate is almost 1.500 times higher.

      The one absolute truth regarding the Wuhan virus pandemic is this….those countries that took the advice of the corrupt W.H.O. were hit like a train…..those that ignored it (Taiwan, Vietnam and a very few others who have a guttural mistrust of China) have done very well.

      But I agree…..once a virus is well salted into the population nothing will stop it but “Farr’s Law”. And for that, Trudeau and Tam should be taken to the guillotines.

      1. Sorry, has never worked and will not work, far too many variables. The world cannot be shut down without killing more people than the virus will kill. I don’t really give a damn about Taiwan. The recovery rate is still 99.8% and shut downs and vaccines are not necessary to control something that is no worse than a seasonal flu.

      2. Art – 16,579 deaths? Nope!! Comorbidities leave the true number at about 6% of the media’s numbers.
        This is a flu. And it has spawned an industry. It has given the news talking heads the lead every nite. And the secondary story and any subsequent stories on the ‘News-hour(s)’ locally and nationally. The news readers can can vault over everything and go straight to how the killer virus is impacting the NHL, NBA, kids sports, churches and Gramma in the ‘home’ and to Hell with the small businesses.
        Trump is gonna be gone shortly and the virus is going to keep the news readers attention. The Pandemic Porn consumers have a purpose! Don’t fuck with them!!

    4. I don’t usually agree with you on COVID, but you are right about it being way too late for these border controls to help and the travel restrictions should be dropped.

  5. Funny how the Liberal Party’s Toronto Star is the only major paper not reporting this story. They do have lots of Trump is Hitler, Canadians are racist bastards stories.

    1. I checked CTV news’s web page, and they are censoring the story. Btw, the web page is a cesspool of liberal left pc. Glad I rarely visit it.

  6. She’s only sorry she got caught, as usual.

    YTF do people post their shyte on social media?
    Because their egos are larger than their brains.

    1. And she’s bragging about it being free. The mentality itself appalling, regardless of the reeking hypocrisy about covid.

      1. Government bureaucrats and university academics have one thing in common: those outside of their system of privilege and comfort are expected to pay for their cushy circumstances.

      2. That’s the point….they brag about it. Remember Ontario’s latest self lynching?:

        “Sometimes we spend so much time focusing on areas where we disagree we forget there is a lot more that unites us than divides us,” said former Ontario Finance Minister Rod Phillips. “Specifically, the thing that unites us is knowing that elected officials are a superior group of individuals to whom travel restrictions and multiple health warnings do not apply.”

        “On that issue we’re not Tories or Grits or Dippers. We’re Canadian politicians,” he added.

  7. I find this revealing. Clearly there is no concern about this “deadly virus” so let’s end the tyranny and put effort into healing the sick and protecting the infirm and the res of us can go about our lives without interference, just like THEY do.

    1. Correct. Been saying that from the get go. The power hungry assholes want to perpetuate the bullshit and keep us in a state of agitation. Constant fear will eventually drive people nuts and the end result will not be good for bureaucrats.

  8. Senior public servants get free vacations from Air Canada.

    What other free stuff do these people get?

    Justin’s government has immunity from prosecution because they own the legal system, but can Air Canada be admonished by the court for participating in corruption like SNC Lavalin?

    1. Senior public servants get free vacations from Air Canada.

      And here I thought that ended when AC became a publicly traded company. Ha! The old crown corporation mentality still exists after more than 30 years after the federal government cut it loose.

  9. I don’t get why people should somehow feel guilty for traveling. Since the Scamdemic started millions of people have come and gone. If travel was a problem, prohibit it. But that would interfere with the flow of population replacers that keep down wages in Canada and crush the hopes of young people.

    1. They shouldn’t feel guilty for travelling, they should feel guilty for telling the proles not to while they live as before.

  10. It’s amazing what a well-spoken, well-dressed, good-looking, black person can achieve … eh President Fraud? Why, they can even get away with all manner of ethics violations … followed by career advancement and promotion.

    Yes, there WILL be a Western Revolution. The smelly people of WalMart will eventually stop tolerating their enslavement. This kind of defrauding of the taxpayer will not be tolerated forever. And if not, then the evil of this immoral leadership will eventually consume itself. One truth of this human life is that EVIL is unsustainable. It will run rampant for a while … then utterly collapse or be removed.

  11. Washington DC on the 6th is just the beginning. People are at the boiling point, time to storm the barricades.

    1. After what we saw in that last US Election there will never be a fair election. Basement Biden stayed in his bunker, spoke to 10 circles on the ground and he wins ??? How can you tell 75 million people or however many voters there was that voted for Trump, Biden had 81 million votes? I can’t believe that BS but the SWAMP is so DEEP down there that you can NEVER get rid of it………

      1. Where did I read this..??

        133,000,000 REGISTERED Voters in the US.
        74,000,000 Votes for Donald Trump

        Math is oh so difficult for pretty much anyone in the SWAMP and especially the MINISTRY(s) OF Propaganda.

        If anyone has an actual link to that…?? I have a few “liberal” Assholes that need reminding there was indeed Election FRAUD.

    2. They stormed the barricades at the Capitol.
      They got inside.
      They… …took selfies.
      They skulked away at the first sign of tear gas.

      1. And they should have done what? Chased down Nancy Pelosi and hastened her death by a couple years? AnD the only if her security detail ran out of clips?

        1. They should have not bothered to go to the Capitol in the first place. All they succeeded in doing was fatally weaken Trump and Trumpism. He’s not coming back in 2024.

          One of the mob’s own was killed, a few more died of medical incidents, a lot of glass was broken, and the Certification of the Electoral College was delayed for SIX WHOLE HOURS.

          Either man-up and start the real damn shooting civil war, like many brave keyboard warriors are suggesting, or go the hell home and take what the Democrats are about feed to them.

  12. Well, Air Canada has to keep the planes flying into Canada from foreign countries or it might have to lay off some of its union help, heaven forbid. So a free vacation to the person that might have some say in whether that practice is allowed to continue unabated seems a sound investment on their part. Bribery, yes, but no one in the political sphere will even notice or be punished for taking a bribe in Bananada. After all, she is “Dominique Baker, the acting manager at PHAC’s Office of Border and Travel Health” – the keywords being “Border and Travel Health”.

    Cui Bono?

    1. They don’t care what you think. This is about rubbing your nose in their power.

  13. When one gets free gifts from a company for doing work, does one not have to declare that as income; then pay taxes on the value? What was the value of her free vacation?

    1. She’ll have to pay a hundred-dollar fine to the Ethics Committee. But it’s tax-deductible.

    2. JD, More likely, if you report it, your name will be on the list to be “corrected”, not theirs.

  14. Vaclav Klaus said, among other brilliant and memorable observations, that “they will control how we travel, how our children live…”

    I’m the last person you want to go to for conspiracy theories – but I do have a very well-developed ability to see the big picture. Interesting, isn’t it, the deafening silence from the left and the MSM about the constant flouting of the rules THEY put in place while they screw US down tighter and tighter? What if this really is just a ChiCom-abetted experiment in finding out how much repression we’re willing to tolerate?

    Even better: what if WE found out? 2021 could prove to be an even more interesting year than 2020…

    1. MHA, I believe you are correct, this is an experiment to see how much repression we’ll put up with and tolerate. Unfortunately, it appears to be a great success.

  15. Worth remembering at this point that the rat- bastard Commies just refused entry to the WHO team attempting to trace the origins of the virus.

    The more I learn, the less I believe in coincidences.

    1. And how many leftists in power have said that the virus represents the perfect opportunity for the Great Reset? Would anyone be surprised if this “reset“ was an idea given to China by Maurice Strong?

      No, nothing to see here folks… I’m sure this onset of black cynicism will pass. Please, God. >:(

      1. Michael.

        There is ZERO Doubt of what you say…Strong all the way back in the early ’60’s was the world’s Greatest proponent of DE-POPULATION we have seen in our lifetime….and one of the First Climatistas as well.

        So Connect the DOTS:

        Strong Ex VP of Power Corp & ChiCom subversives coming into Canada…for how long now..??

        1. Thanks for this steakman. Sometimes I hate being good at connecting the dots. I’m sure it’s been said in his biography, but Strong was the guy who instructed China on how to pull off their economic miracle. He was crazy about them and absolutely loathed the western world, which he said more than once should be pulled down into ruin.

          One of Trump’s greatest “crimes“ was to try to reverse the flood of Chinese crap consumer goods pouring into the west on the world’s largest container ships: the ones built by Maersk that returned to the PRC empty to repeat the process over and over again. Why, what could he have been thinking, antagonizing our future masters?

          Dots and more dots, enough to make you run out of ink…

      2. MHA, a while back on another thread, I posted that the Davos crowd and the CCP probably have agreed to instigate this, and divide the planet between the two.

        My last sentence was, “Considering their aspirations to be the dominant global power, I wonder what the CCP will do, once they have their side of the planet ticking along?” They have a large military, and the Davos set has wealth, but no military, Hmmm!

        1. Yes indeed. I’m sure they have plenty of money to buy private security, but those guys will be little better than personal bodyguards. No nukes, no aircraft carriers, no quarter of a billion people ready to be called up at any time. The PRC can basically take it all whenever they feel like it, especially with the Dems in power.

          It’s a pity Strong didn’t drop dead long before he bizarrely got infected with the Marx virus, but there it is.

  16. Frankly I didn’t think the bureaurats could pist me off anymore, I was wrong -she should be fired and investigated for taking a corporate bribe.

  17. “Dominique Baker, a social influencer, is the manager of a federal program to keep communicable diseases out of Canada”
    Well obviously she has failed in her mandate of keeping diseases like Covid19 out of Canada so she should be terminated.

  18. Well, funnily enough, I too have a Covid-19 Air Canada story to relate.

    So, me, my wife and my sister were to travel to France and Britain in April and early May, 2020 to visit Juno Beach, Vimy, several WWI battlefields and end up back in London for VE-75 (I recognize that just about everybody around here understands the underlying historical events, wherein — unlike today — a great many people employed by the Government of Canada in the times undertook very valuable and very dangerous work for very low rates of pay, often suffering grievous injury or death).

    It is truly heartwarming to hear that our air carrier — Air Canada — has used our cash (from pre-paid tickets) so that some part-time social media “influencer” and senior pandemic issues manager for the Government of Canada could have a lovely time in Jamaica at the company’s expense. As it happens, Air Canada owes us about $3,500, along with about $2.6 billion dollars to other customers to whom they have refused to refund air fare due to Covid-related flight cancellations.

    I’m tempted to say that it’s 12-year-olds running the government and corporate Canada from top to bottom, but that might be insulting to the 12-year-olds that I know.

  19. social influencer , what a nice title .

    I suppose Dorothy Joudrie’s spot of Socialite has been filled long ago

  20. From the Beaverton: https://www.thebeaverton.com/2021/01/conservative-liberal-ndp-politicians-find-common-ground-over-thinking-theyre-better-than-the-rest-of-us/

    “Sometimes we spend so much time focusing on areas where we disagree we forget there is a lot more that unites us than divides us,” said former Ontario Finance Minister Rod Phillips. “Specifically, the thing that unites us is knowing that elected officials are a superior group of individuals to whom travel restrictions and multiple health warnings do not apply.”
    “On that issue we’re not Tories or Grits or Dippers. We’re Canadian politicians,”

    I’ll leave you with that while I go give birth to a politician down the hall, to the right.

  21. Why was she not assaulted by the State Thugs ie Police and beaten and tasered right at the airport.

  22. Funny old world.
    I just read an official “Quit Smoking” Add put out by our fearless government.
    Starts up “45 000 Canadians die each year” of smoking related illness.
    So how the hell does that jive with the Endless chants of doom from the Dread Covid..?
    Which has killed fewer than a nasty new flu..
    So we shall ban all tobacco products?
    Oh right revenue..nevermind.
    Interesting contrast,see how quickly the parasites turned covid into a revenue producing scam, them $1259 fines and imprisonments (meaning stripped of your wealth via the Just Us System) they add up real fast.
    Probably find that is the justification for hiring all the extra compliance staff ,instead of beefing up the failing “Free” Healthcare system.

    1. All politicians that push this need to be hounded out of office. The Free Healthcare system is failing because it is free to every swinging dick who comes ashore and yet has never paid taxes. Same with SS pensions after 2-3 years the extended family of immigrants, can draw pension. Even if they have never worked in Canada and paid taxes. In house Babysitting I guess qualifies them for our tax dollars
