Blacklock’s- Say Definition Aids Millions

A current program under the Canada Student Loan Act writes off up to $60,000 in loans for doctors and $30,000 for nurses who agree to practice in rural Canada. Previous regulations defined rural as remote “census subdivisions” but excluded population density.

“The current definition of an ‘under-served rural or remote community’ tends to exclude areas that may be considered rural within broader municipalities, making them ineligible for the benefit,” said the notice. It gave by example the hamlet of Sheet Harbour, N.S., population 800, that was disqualified from the program since it is a 90-minute drive from Halifax.

Blacklocks;

Immigration Minister Marc Miller’s department in an internal report admits it took no steps to determine if foreign workers took Canadian jobs or kept wages low. “Impacts are not monitored,” said the report: “The program is less aligned with commitments to consider Canadian workers first.”

Canada needs mass immigration because a growing population is essential for a healthy economy. (link fixed!)

Angel of Death.

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.

Financial Post:

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

Climate Cult Great Reset War On Meat 10 Comments

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.

Identified as “Mr. A,” the man experienced “suffering and functional decline” following three vaccinations for SARS-CoV-2.

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.
