More here. And this would be a good time to remind everyone what the Liberals have planned for Canada.
A Chicken in every Pot
Conrad Black goes over the party platforms.
Erin O’Toole’s platform is imaginative, but Maxime Bernier is the most impressive leader. The Liberals offer plenty of extra spending but don’t say how it will be paid for.
Bleary-eyed and almost gasping for air, I can confirm to the 99.9 per cent of Canadians who don’t read the platforms of political parties at the onset of an election campaign that they are not missing a great deal in profound thought, stylish composition, or uplifting incitements to patriotic exaltation of the soul. I did not go beyond the Liberals and Conservatives because they are the only parties that have any chance of forming a government, and in any case I protest against the exclusion from the debates of Maxime Bernier who is probably the most impressive of the party leaders and has the best program in many respects. He is being discriminated against by the debates commission.

More than 100 Ontario youth sent to hospital for vaccine-related heart problems
A report quietly released last week by Public Health Ontario (PHO) tallies the number of people in the province who have presented to hospital with heart inflammation following mRNA vaccination, and it skews heavily towards young people.
It Should be Over
But it’s not.
They got the level of compliance they wanted/needed. If there’s still a problem its not because enough people didn’t “step up” or “buy in” to the vaccines. The same can be said about the masks and the lockdowns. The general public has done more than its fair share to help and not without considerable cost and risk to themselves. Continuing to gas light, demonize, bully and intimidate them will not improve the competency of the leaders involved, or the efficacy of the injections. Nor will it fix a health care system that we all know has been broken for generations now .

Trudeau has to get out of the way
Justin Trudeau’s personal unpopularity has become an anchor for the party.
Story is behind a pay wall but you get the picture.
Drowning in Debt
Small businesses have reopened their doors after a series of lockdowns, but they are still struggling under heavy debt loads.
CFIB says the average business owes close to $177,000 thanks to pandemic restrictions and closures. For businesses in the hospitality industry, that amount clocks in at $333,174 — almost double the average.
“The actual repayment of this debt will be the next big obstacle that small businesses will face, especially as many are still seeing a slow pick-up in revenues, capacity restrictions and uncertainty heading into the fall and winter months,”
No worries, the new segregation economy should fix that right up.
It Doesn’t Solve Every Problem?
There’s the theory and then there’s reality.
Bill Belichick on the NFL experience.
You guys keep talking about that, and I would just point out that I don’t know what the number is. I mean, you guys can look it up. You have the access to a lot of information, but the number of players and coaches and staff members that have been infected by COVID in this training camp [around the NFL] who have been vaccinated is a pretty high number, so I wouldn’t lose sight of that.
and
There’ve been a number of, quite a high number I would say, of players who have had the virus who have been vaccinated, so your implication that vaccination solves every problem, I would say that has not been substantiated based on what’s happened in training camp [throughout the NFL] this year. That’s all.

The Federal Trade Commission reportedly Is Looking Into Why McDonald’s Ice-Cream Machines are often broken.
Nobody cares about all the monkeying around with viruses, but when the ice cream stops flowing the feds are right on it.
“Unvaccinated”
Hey Israel you’re screwing up the narrative.
Okay, that’s just cases it’s not like there’s also a spike in hospitalizations, wait a minute… But that’s not ICU admissions, those are still… Well at least more people aren’t dying. Right? Hang on, have they been lying to us about all those third doses they said they’re handing out?
The problem must be either climate change or racism.
Intimidation not Persuasion
It’s not so much that they’re brainwashing people as they’re bullying and scaring the shit out of them so they comply.
The common understanding of propaganda is that it is intended to brainwash the masses. Supposedly, people get exposed to the same message repeatedly and over time come to believe in whatever nonsense authoritarians want them to believe.
And yet authoritarians often broadcast silly, unpersuasive propaganda.
Political scientist Haifeng Huang writes that the purpose of propaganda is not to brainwash people, but to instill fear in them.

Two Top Vaccine Officials Resign From FDA
The two officials are leaving the FDA in part because they are frustrated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) involvement in the vaccine approval process, as well as with White House pressure to move forward with booster vaccines for COVID-19 without FDA’s approval, a former top FDA official told Endpoints.

Jonathan Kay: Why the Canadian left believes kooky theories about coded messages to Nazis
This has got to be the first election in the history of any democratic nation in which the incumbent self-describes as the leader of a genocide state. Yet he also tells us he’s done a bang-up job. You’d think the whole ongoing-genocide thing would be a significant campaign issue, right? At least up there with high ATM fees and electric-car tax credits. But it’s not, because everyone involved — Trudeau, in particular — knows that most voters inhabit a reality-based existence. And so they’re going to have little patience with Matrix-like conspiracy theories about Canada being a nordic Rwanda.
You can see how this complete reversal in tone generates cognitive dissonance for partisans. One moment, Canadians are history’s greatest monsters. (It’s been three months since Justin Trudeau ordered Canadian flags lowered, following the discovery of bodies of children who attended residential schools. When asked when he’ll put the flags back up, a spokesperson said Trudeau was waiting for some unspecified Indigenous community to make the decision for him.) Then the writ gets dropped. And suddenly, patriotism comes back into fashion, and we’re told that life in Canada — far from being a white supremacist dystopia — is so awesome that our PM deserves another term.

Coming Soon To A Gym Near You
Nice business you’ve got there, be a shame if something were to happen to it.
Friday, September 3rd is the date given by the province in the latest public health orders to start requiring people to be fully immunized to participate in certain activities, gym and fitness centre usage being one of them.
Spence says three shutdowns of his gym over the last 18 months have been wearing on him and his business. “Each time you lose between 15 and 20% of your clientele. And then they brought in the mask mandate, which eliminated quite a few more people. 8 out of 10 people cancelled because they wouldn’t wear masks while working out. And then they brought in the vaccines.”
With current vaccination rates in Steinbach sitting around 61.9% for first-time vaccinations, both Dyck and Spence say that a large portion of the community can no longer access their facilities due to not being fully vaccinated. This frustrates Dyck, “So, 38% of your members are now ineligible to attend your business.” According to Dyck, Anytime Fitness will not be collecting any income from members that cannot come to the gym as “that would be unethical. At the very least, we’ll freeze it indefinitely until these things sort of change, or unless there’s a change of mind or change of heart from the government.”
They won’t kill your business, they’ll just make it impossible for you to live.
