San Francisco becomes the 1st major U.S. city to demand vaccine passports in order to enter restaurants, bars, gyms, etc.
We are currently awaiting word if non-vaccinated people will need to wear yellow stars on their clothing at all times.
Here is Mayor London Breed’s official announcement of this new fascist policy declaration
Blackie’s Heritage Minister can’t or won’t say what journalists received 50 million dollars from his dept. Looks like the media is greased up for the election.
Liberals can’t name journalists who got $50 million in local news subsidies
If you can’t take them to the slaughter plant.
Farmers may have to euthanize and dispose of more than 130,000 hogs in eastern Canada as a months-long strike at a pork processor leaves a backlog of animals.
Olymel’s processing facility in Vallee-Jonction, Quebec, which usually slaughters 36,000 hogs each week, has been shut since April 28, when employees walked out. The company has been sending some of the animals to the U.S. and western Canada, an alternative that still leaves 15,000 pigs behind every week, according to David Duval, the president of the Eleveurs de porcs du Quebec, which represents the province’s producers.
Study Finds Most Highly Educated Americans Are Also the Most Vaccine Hesitant
A new report by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh has found that the most highly educated Americans are also the most vaccine hesitant.
The researchers canvassed no fewer than 5 million Americans who responded to surveys on whether they were “probably” or “definitely not planning on getting a COVID vaccine.
“More surprising is the breakdown in vaccine hesitancy by level of education,” reports UnHerd. “It finds that the association between hesitancy and education level follows a U-shaped curve with the highest hesitancy among those least and most educated. People a master’s degree had the least hesitancy, and the highest hesitancy was among those holding a PhD.”
In addition, while the lowest educated saw the largest drop in vaccine hesitancy for the first five months of 2021, those with PhD’s were the most likely to not change their minds.
Yes Virginia there is a bell curve.
Terry Glavin: The West is buckling under China’s brutal hegemony
In Canada the rot runs deep
Ottawa’s response to Canada’s latest humiliation has been characteristically tepid, relying mainly on the delicate complaints offered by lifelong China-trade enthusiast Dominic Barton, the ambassador Ottawa plucked two years ago from the helm of McKinsey & Co — a global consultancy noted for providing management-efficiency expertise to dictatorships all over the world and for its service to Purdue Pharma in boosting sales of Oxycontin to American drug addicts. Canada’s embassy in Beijing convened a kind of press conference consisting of a couple of dozen diplomats from a variety of liberal democracies who were invited to stand on a platform for a photo opportunity and mutter platitudes about how hostage-taking is bad manners.
Coyote attacks five-year-old child in Stanley Park
Conservation officers are urging the public to avoid Stanley Park after a boy was injured in yet another coyote attack in the popular downtown Vancouver park.
According to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service, the five-year-old boy was with his family for a walk at Prospect Point around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and was running ahead “when a coyote lunged and bit him on the leg.”
This is the latest in a string of coyote attacks at Stanley Park in recent months, and the second one involving a young child.
Rangers will be installing more signs in the park to warn the public of the risk of coyote encounters, said spokeswoman Christine Ulmer,
Maybe they need to hire more social workers for the coyotes.
Blackie will be outraged that his Elections Canada has purged thousands of illegal foreign voters from the rolls. Hundreds will be investigated. And the Liberals are discussing a new tax on boaters.Justin will have to stick to buying votes.
Update: Blacklock reports that Fraulein Freeland won’t release details of a multi-million dollar contract for ventilators that were not needed. She bragged about the ventilators coming from her riding.

There needs to be truth-telling about the reduced protection of mRNA vaccines vs symptomatic Delta infections. It was 95% pre-Delta. Many are claiming it’s still ~80%.
It isn’t. 50-60% is best estimate from all sources (not US, since we don’t have the data) …
Look at Israel’s Delta case surge, a model country for vaccination, >15 per cent points more of total population vaccinated than the US. That, in itself, tells us about the reduction of protection of mRNA vaccines vs cases/spread.
Bumped for this update.
Maybe Geert Vanden Bossche knew what he was talking about, after all.
With more lockdowns looming in the not too distant future, the inability to find staff may wind up being the least of a dining establishment’s worries. In the meantime, the struggle continues with governments doing their best to make a bad situation worse.
The pinch is felt by restaurant owners across the country, particularly as many servers or cooks remain hesitant to return to work amid COVID-19. Many business owners say the issue is due to a decision by employees to try new lines of work, while by far the next-highest concern is the federal government’s continued support programs for the unemployed.
Dementia Joe’s son is in the news again. When is the investigation by Congress?
Finally got around to listening to this interview. It’s a good one that covers a number of topics. Being a celebrity even though you don’t think you’re one, the danger of audience capture as a podcaster, covid, ivermectin, the vaccine, the current leadership vacuum. Eric has nuanced takes on all of this. He generally trusts institutions but not the people running them.

More shenanigans’ afoot. What happens to the data stream when you mix vaccinated people in with the unvaccinated like Ontario is currently doing?
In 2011, it was Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood reciting the mantra about “rebuilding the Brent Spence or any of the tens of thousands of bridges in America.” Foxx, his successor, who would turn down the Brent Spence bridge, was also pitching plans to rebuild thousands of bridges.
Replacing the “damn bridge”, as Biden put it, would cost about $2.5 billion. Instead of rebuilding the bridge, Obama had poured a fortune into Big Green projects that failed.
Solyndra received a $535 million loan guarantee to build solar panels and went bankrupt. Abound Solar got a $400 million stimulus loan guarantee and went bankrupt. Tonopah Solar Energy got $737 million in loans and went bankrupt. Fisker got a $529 million stimulus loan to build electric cars and went bankrupt. A123 got a $249 million stimulus grant to build electric car batteries and went bankrupt.
Ener1 got a $118.5 million grant to build electric car batteries and went bankrupt. Biden had visited the company and hailed it as one of the “100 Recovery Act Projects That Are Changing America”, but he had also accidentally described it a little too accurately as “Enron One”.
The bankrupt company was then taken over by an oligarch with ties to the Russian government. But 40% of the company’s stock had already been controlled by a Russian state-owned bank as collateral for a mere $24 million in loans.
That’s why the “damn bridge” still isn’t fixed.

The Heritage Minister refuses to name the publishers who just received over sixty million dollars in pre election subsidies. Blackie has bought the election coverage.
The latest announcement of more money for Indians, had to be moved to another building because it was going to be held in a building named after our first prime minister. A member of Big Chief Gay Eagle’s cabinet didn’t feel comfortable meeting there. Another day on Turtle Island.
