On Oct. 27, a British Columbia judge intervened to prevent Dr. Ellen Wiebe, or any other doctor, from causing the death of a mentally ill Alberta woman. Justice Simon Coval granted a 30-day injunction to the woman’s common-law partner, one day before her death was scheduled to take place at Wiebe’s Vancouver clinic. A civil claim alleges Wiebe approved the woman’s request for MAID after a single Zoom meeting and without consulting her doctors. Wiebe declined to comment when contacted by National Post.
Gradually, Then Suddenly
The Canadian dollar is at risk of falling to lows only seen during big economic shocks as forces once again line up against the currency, economists warn.
The Bank of Canada cut its interest rate by half a percentage point this month, widening the gap between it and the United States Federal Reserve, which puts pressure on the loonie.
The Fed made its own large cut in September, but the resilience of America’s economy since then has led to speculation that it won’t ease as much as expected, said Benjamin Reitzes, Canadian rates and macro strategist with BMO Capital Markets.
The Canadian economy, on the other hand, is showing no signs of momentum, suggesting that more rate cuts are to come.[…]
The current 125-basis-point spread between the two policy rates is the widest it’s been in at least two decades, and it could widen in months to come, putting more pressure on the Canadian dollar, said Ste-Marie.

War On Meat
By 2050, Britain will be a Muslim nation, so good luck with that, buddy.
Britain must cut its meat and dairy consumption by up to 50pc to meet the latest net zero targets, the Government’s climate watchdog has said.
The Climate Change Committee said in an ideal scenario, meat and dairy consumption should halve by 2050 and products be substituted with plant-based options.
The proposals are part of new net zero targets that have been recommended to Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary.
In a letter to Mr Miliband, the committee said the Government must cut CO2 emissions by 81pc by 2035 when compared to the benchmark year of 1990. This would amount to a reduction of 200m tonnes from the current level of 384m tonnes.
Piers Forster, the CCC’s chairman, said persuading British consumers to change their diets would play a key role in achieving such massive cuts.
Mr Forster did not specify how the UK could reduce meat eating but options could include reducing subsidies for livestock, taxing meat products and a clampdown by regulators on advertising.

National Post- Ontario man granted euthanasia for controversial ‘post COVID-19 vaccination syndrome’
Identified as “Mr. A,” the man experienced “suffering and functional decline” following three vaccinations for SARS-CoV-2. He also suffered from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and personality disorders, and, “while navigating his physical symptoms,” was twice admitted to hospital, once involuntarily, with thoughts of suicide.
A Not So Fine Dining Experience
During the pandemic, the dictators assured us that restaurant closures would not be an issue, since the economy would easily “recover” afterwards. Add in the recent hikes in minimum wages and it comes as no surprise that the marginal consumer has evidently reached a very different conclusion.
Late last week, anonymous sources told Bloomberg that TGI Fridays was preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and was in talks with lenders who could possible keep the company afloat in the meantime.
In related news, Denny’s is scaling back its operations in accordance with the declining fortunes of its customers.
Denny’s is closing 150 restaurants over the next year, and the 71-year-old diner chain is mulling a major change to its 24/7 operating hours.
Fifty locations are set to close by the end of 2024, while the remaining 100 will shutter in 2025, Denny’s announced in an earnings call Tuesday.

Toronto Star- Home-care patients say critical medical supplies have stopped arriving since Ontario government changed distribution system
Around the end of September, Patti Moss and Steve Clark began to notice that things were missing in the package of medical supplies delivered to her home.
The couple from Bradford have been managing Clark’s pain and treatment from home after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in August.
First, it was a syringe that was missing from a delivery of saline solution that Clark needs to keep him hydrated after receiving chemotherapy. Then, instead of a high-flow line needed to deliver the saline to Clark intravenously, a low-flow line was sent. Two weeks ago, the saline bags just didn’t show up.

I personally reported this.”
Pipeline Of Losses
It’s somewhat ironic that the NDP are criticizing a government agency for losing money, but maybe that’s just a bug in their code, not a feature. I’m sure they’ll correct the error soon.
Trans Mountain Corporation CEO Mark Maki said the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion was “worth the cost” in a Monday appearance in Ottawa, even with the inflated price tag of $34 billion.
NDP MP Charlie Angus said he couldn’t square the pipeline’s high purported resale value with the fact that it’s currently selling product at a loss to attract customers.
Angus speculated that the federal government was using a subsidiary “shell company”, TMP Finance Ltd., to hide the project’s losses.

Montreal Gazette- More Quebecers than ever waiting past acceptable delay for breast cancer surgery
In general, though, wait times for all types of surgery — not just for cancer and not only waits beyond acceptable delays — have been rising steadily in the past four years. At present, more than 162,000 Quebecers are languishing on wait lists for elective (or non-urgent) surgery, including nearly 11,000 who have been waiting for their operation for at least a year.

Reason- British Man Convicted of Criminal Charges for Praying Silently Near Abortion Clinic
This month, a British man was convicted of criminal charges for praying silently near an abortion clinic. The man, Adam Smith-Connor did not attempt to harass, intimidate, or interact in any way with those entering the clinic. Instead, he wordlessly prayed with his head bowed slightly. He wasn’t even on clinic property—he was outside the sightline of the clinic itself, according to the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a religious freedom group.

National Post- Canadians have constitutional right to unequal treatment, new report argues
“Canadians have been sold a bill of goods,” Bruce Pardy, the author of the report and a Queen’s University law professor, told National Post by email. “Many of them think that they have a right to equal treatment under the law. They think that discrimination is illegal. But nothing could be further from the truth. In Canada, discrimination is lawful as long as it is committed against the right groups — and in particular against straight white men.

Thirsty Proletarians
In another nation where the leaders routinely address each other as comrade, basic infrastructure continues to implode right on schedule.
Currently, 45% of municipalities in South Africa cannot provide the most basic information on their water supply, including monthly consumption figures.
The report showed that 277 water systems – nearly 30% of the total – are in a critical state requiring urgent intervention. This is a significant increase from 103 systems in 2014.

If you want to make a start in avoiding the shutdown of an entire power grid, maybe government officials could stop referring to each other as comrade. Then there might be some light at the end of the tunnel.
The electricity went out Friday in Cuba, affecting the entire island’s population of 10 million after one of its main power plants failed, according to Cuba’s energy ministry.
On Thursday night, [the Cuban government] announced schools would close and most state workers would stay home Friday in an effort to conserve energy. But it wasn’t enough and by 11 a.m. Friday, Antonio Guiteras thermoelectric, the largest power plant, went offline causing a grid failure.

National Post- At TMU medical school, some students are more equal than others
Toronto Metropolitan University, will reserve 75 per cent of its seats for Indigenous, Black, and other “equity-deserving” groups including 2SLGBTQ+. These students will need an undergraduate GPA of only 3.3 on a 4-point scale, and maybe not even that; for comparison, the University of Toronto medical school’s average accepted GPA is 3.95. Able-bodied straight white students can’t apply for these seats. It’s TMU’s affirmative action school for doctors who can’t get in on their merits. Canada now has full-blown racial and gender discrimination. How did we get here? The Supreme Court of Canada is largely to blame.
