Fake News & Gov’t Misinformation

Two peas in a pod.

Stephen McIntyre- Unfortunately, in their zeal to silence supposed disinformation, Lewandowsky and his “Expert Panel” perpetrated analysis of the type that we’ve seen too often from the fellowship that countenanced Hide the Decline. Let’s start with sourcing “2800 deaths”. This figure appears in their Table 4.2, which stated that misinformation resulted in 8% fewer vaccinations, resulting in 2800 extra deaths (35% !) in period from Mar 1, 2021 to Nov 27, 2021. Compared to model.

Francisco- When you can’t find any real bodies you get your computer model to dig them up.

Liberals, “hold my beer”.

Globe and Mail- Liberals withdraw controversial amendments to gun law

Bill C-21 initially targeted handguns but in late-stage amendments the Liberals expanded the law to also target assault-style rifles.

The changes had the rare impact of uniting all opposition parties against the law. Until the proposed changes, both the NDP and Bloc Québécois had supported the bill. The Assembly of First Nations also unanimously opposed the amendments, which would criminalize guns that First Nations people commonly use for hunting.

Tucker Carlson for Canadian PM?

Baiting The Left Shiny Pony 22 Comments

Naturalized Americans aren’t eligible to become President of the United States. But there aren’t such rules about non-Canadians become Prime Minister of Canada, are there? In fact, for all intents & purposes, Michael Ignatieff is much more American than Canadian, yet he had a shot at becoming PM.

So would it be so far-fetched about starting a campaign to get Tucker Carlson to become PM of Canada … if even just for one day? Watching Leftist heads explode over this possibility would be well worth it! LOL

Michelle Rempel Garner;

In fiscal year 2022, long after the rest of the world had ended quarantine hotel restrictions and after the government had lifted travel restrictions, at one Calgary area hotel, the federal Liberal government spent $6,790,717.46 on lodging expenses for….

…..wait for it….

15 people.

That works out to $452,714.50 spent per person on a quarantine hotel after they ended most travel restrictions.

It’s not unreasonable to assume some of this bounced into Liberal campaign coffers.

TNC Exclusive: Documents reveal feds considered carbon tax-like rule for farm fertilizers

The federal Liberal government has considered forcing a carbon tax-like “regulatory backstop” onto farmers should voluntary agreements to reduce fertilizer emissions not meet Ottawa’s arbitrary standards – and it could see crop production across the country drastically decline.

The Liberals have been pulling out all the stops in recent months as part of their ongoing efforts to reduce emissions in the name of fighting climate change. Carbon taxes, plastic bag bans and electric vehicle sales rules are just some of their initiatives, but they’ve also set their sights on emissions from fertilizer use by farmers.

The feds maintain that fertilizer targets will remain voluntary and be based on individually-crafted agreements with farmers and industry leaders. However, a Jul. 16, 2021, discussion paper acquired by True North from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada via an access to information request shows the government floating a federal backstop as a “policy option” should all else fail. 

“A number of policy measures could be put forward for consideration beyond just a ‘voluntary agreement’,” wrote Agriculture Canada officials. “A suite of policy approaches will be necessary, and consideration to be given to a regulatory backstop should voluntary approaches not be successful.” 

True North received a document dump from the federal government that covered the inception of the program in 2020 through 2021. Agriculture Canada officials are currently processing another request pertaining to the program’s developments in 2022.

Global News;

The Quebec government is calling for the resignation of the federal government’s special representative to combat Islamophobia.

Quebec Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge says Ottawa should fire Amira Elghawaby immediately if she chooses not to resign.

The journalist and activist known anti-Semite was appointed to the role last week by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Via @MattGurney;

I’ve been saying for months, especially around the weird rifle ban flop, that the LPCers are off their game. Even when their policies suck (rifle ban!) they are usually good at the POLITICS of it.

They’re not good at politics now. This outrage was foreseeable.

Something’s up.

Something’s not up. Political laziness is a predictable result of consequence-free governance. No matter the ethics violation, conflict or scandal, Trudeau has always been able to depend upon the kindness of media to double down on his opponents to mitigate the damage, and keep him in power. Thus, like all ideologues, he becomes emboldened until the public anger becomes so widespread his friends can no longer save him.

“My bag made it back; my husband’s did not.”

They filled out a lost bag report and checked their AirTag tracker, which showed that the bag was still in Montreal, where it sat for four weeks.

“We were a little frustrated but weren’t upset,” she said.

As they saw their bag being transported from Montreal to Etobicoke, they said they were “pumped,” assuming their bag was headed for a storage facility.

However, the AirTag showed that the bag was in a residential community. […]

After several phone calls with Air Canada, the couple finally decided to head to the storage facility and try to find their bag.

“[My husband] started peering through some doors with his flashlight in the public storage facility until he found the one that was piled floor to ceiling high with luggage,” she said.

That’s when they got the police involved and were shocked to learn what they found.

“Our luggage was donated to a charity on behalf of Air Canada because they deemed it lost even though we were tracking our luggage last for the last four months,” Rees said. “It was never actually truly lost because we know where it was the entire time.”

Police told her they found over 500 pieces of luggage in the facility, with some bags containing iPhones, laptops, iPads, and more AirTags.

What kind of charity needs your iPhone?

I have it on the best authority that they’re here to save our economy.

The federal government has spent almost $94-million since the last election booking entire hotels for months to accommodate an influx of asylum seekers entering Canada, according to an access-to-information request.

Since September, 2021, the Immigration Department has paid $93,886,222 for “long leases” with hotels, mostly in Quebec, setting them aside for asylum seekers, including those entering the country through the irregular border crossing at Quebec’s Roxham Road.

The department booked 30 hotels between April and December last year – 10 in Montreal alone, according to a redacted response to the access-to-information request.

The Immigration Department said it wants to help take pressure off the provinces, even though the housing of asylum seekers is a provincial responsibility.

By block booking hotel rooms, it can ensure there are enough places to house the “the rising volume of asylum claimants crossing between the ports of entry, who have no housing options available to them,” said Nancy Caron, a spokesperson for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

She added that most come through the Roxham Road and Lacolle border crossings in Quebec from the United States.

The discovery of the body of Haitian migrant Fritznel Richard near Roxham Road this month reignited a debate in Quebec about the irregular border crossing, about an hour’s drive from Montreal. Continue reading →

Like national child care, a program that empowers parents to offload their expenses onto their grandchildren.

Cabinet has invoked confidentiality in refusing to disclose the overhead cost of a new social program, the Canada Dental Benefit. This follows suspicions that administrative expenses are high, though the program disqualifies the poorest Canadian families from receiving aid, according to Blacklock’s Reporter. […]

Parliament last November 17 passed Bill C-31 An Act Respecting Cost Of Living Relief Measures that introduced the dental care program. It pays a yearly $650 tax-free grant to parents of children under 12 with household income under $70,000 a year. Families with income from $70,000 to $90,000 would qualify for reduced grants.

“Based on similar federal programs we have estimated a reasonable overhead cost for the national program is about five percent,” wrote the Budge Office. Five percent of the official $938 million annual cost of free dentistry is $46.9 million.
