Ban All The Things!

We must eliminate plastic food wrap because hygiene is racist.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s department yesterday gave grocers until month’s end to comment on proposed curbs on single-use plastics like meat wrapping and fruit bags. A current ban on plastic six-pack rings and other goods will cost consumers $205 million, by official estimate: “There is a need to do business differently.”

Update: Alberta court strikes down Hinshaw’s public health orders that violated Charter freedoms

The Alberta court struck down these lockdown measures because they were effectively issued by Cabinet rather than by the CMOH. Dr. Hinshaw testified at trial that politicians were the final decision-makers and she merely provided advice and recommendations.

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

Soon, they’ll have “never denied the possibility”.

Covid-19 may have started in a “laboratory incident” but the precise cause is unproven, says the Department of Health. The acknowledgment comes three years after then-Health Minister Patricia Hajdu ridiculed “conspiracy theories” about the Wuhan Institute of Virology: ‘You’re feeding into conspiracy theories people perpetuate on the internet.’

The Telegraph- Nigel Farage is the latest victim of Britain’s chilling new state ideology

The saga of Nigel Farage and his Coutts bank account is one such story. The only appropriate response to it is cold fury, mixed with deep, deep, apprehension. Someone has lost their bank account because the bank didn’t like their opinions. Not very long ago, this would have seemed literally incredible. “Why would the bank care about your opinions?” we would have said. It’s a free country, isn’t it?

So who is good enough for the Coutts bank?

Our Chinese-Installed Government In Toronto

Passive resistance.

As Olivia Chow campaigned successfully to become Toronto’s new mayor, she received some unsolicited help from controversial sources.

Two prominent community groups aligned with the Chinese government — including one that allegedly hosted a Chinese police station in Ontario — “went all out” to support Chow’s push to be mayor, supplying numerous volunteers to the effort, a letter from one of the groups claims.

A post last month on WeChat from Felicity Guo, deputy secretary general of the Canada Toronto Fuqing Business Association (CTFBA), one of the two groups, urged followers to back Chow. The message was accompanied by a photo of Guo, Chow and another woman.

The mayor-elect’s staff stressed that Chow never requested the two groups’ help, nor did they reach out and enquire if she wanted it.

“You’re Next”

Doomberg;

Whatever your thoughts on Nigel Farage may be, his substantial impact on British politics is undeniable. Known as a prominent Eurosceptic since the early 1990s, he is widely credited with being the main political force behind the Brexit movement that culminated in the UK’s historic vote to leave the European Union (EU) in 2016. As charismatic as he is controversial, Farage has long been a particularly effective thorn in the side of the British political establishment. Call him what you will, but with more than half of British voters siding with him in that historic referendum, he is anything but a member of a “fringe minority” with “unacceptable views.”

[…]

In an unsettling six-minute video posted to Twitter last week, Farage broke his silence on what he claims has been a months-long campaign on the part of the British banking system to make him a financial “unperson.” Without explanation, his longtime banking partner abruptly informed him they would close all his accounts, and no other bank seems willing to accept his business.
