Leave/me/alone!

It’s encouraging to see that the vast majority of Canadians are not completely out of their minds.

Of respondents, 84.9 per cent say they do not add gender pronouns to emails or share at meetings and 15.1 per cent say they do. Similarly, the majority of Canadians (85.4 per cent) do not believe adding pronouns should be compulsory.

And then there is the predictable response from the budding totalitarian set:

Canadians who do add their pronouns to emails and share in meetings think it should be required to do so: 58.8 per cent of those that share said it should be compulsory.

Doubling down

Even the perpetual food shortages in the Soviet Union were not dismissed as non-existent. Back then, the central planners at least made an effort to come up with a semi-plausible excuse like bad weather.

“There is no evidence whatsoever that ArriveCAN is causing any problems,” he told MPs at the commons transport committee.

He said, while there are still problems, air travel is improving and becoming more reliable. He said, by collecting vaccine information in advance, ArriveCAN speeds up the process.

“There are those who have a vested interest in embellishing reality and undermining confidence in our airline sector only to score political points,” he said. “ArriveCAN is actually helping process arrivals much faster and helping reduce congestion.”

Homicide? Rape? Assault? Just hold your horses we’ve got memes to deal with.

The homeowner, or suspect, is not the originator of the offending image — it’s been reposted thousands of times and even made an appearance on GB News — but this small detail does not trouble the officers. A crime has been committed. Section 127 of the Communications Act, to be precise, citing a definition from a different act, entirely.

They remind the suspect that this is their third visit, having previously intervened pursuant to a joke about Tom Daley’s knitting, and the reposting of a Hitler in a bunker meme. The meme has been doing the rounds since the late noughties but this is immaterial to the police officers who are keen to exercise their powers of Three Strikes and You’re Out.

Laurence Fox has video of the whole thing.

In case your curious here are the violent crime statistics for England and Wales.

Violent crimes in England and Wales increased to more than 2.1 million offences, according to police recorded crime statistics, a huge increase of more than 1.5 million when compared with 2012/13, when there were just 601,141 violent crime offences.

National Post- Airport COVID measures derail Israeli terror survivors’ trip to Canada’s Wonderland

A group of Israeli summer campers, all victims of terrorist violence, had to spend the first day of a charity-sponsored trip to Canada on Wednesday scrambling to meet a COVID test deadline instead of visiting Canada’s Wonderland, after nearly half of the 33 children were selected for random testing at the Toronto airport, organizers say.

“We wake up to 15 emails, telling 15 of the kids they need to go get tested,” a charity organizer said.

Don’t like it? Ban it!

As someone who sees the use of plastic cutlery at crowd events as a wonder of modern sanitation, I find Shiny Pony’s latest foray into another environmentalist minefield unsurprising. The philosophical course of his government seems focused on fully embracing the marvels of the dark ages.

The ban will be on single-use plastics including checkout bags, cutlery, food-service ware made from or containing plastic that is hard to recycle, ring carriers, stir sticks and straws, the  government said in a statement.
