They Should Have Gotten Vaccinated

The great bureaucratic and administrative health care gamble of the last couple of years bears its ugly fruit. They were warned that this was going to be the inevitable outcome. They didn’t listen. And they still think they were right.

The Star- Wait times for hospital admission from the ER are at a record high in Ontario. It’s a symptom of a system-wide crisis

In the emergency department of Toronto’s Michael Garron Hospital more than 300 people a day seek medical help, an increase of 40 to 50 per cent from pre-pandemic times.

At St. Michael’s Hospital, the emergency department is seeing patients who are much sicker than those who sought care before COVID-19.

The result is that 3,000 more patients were admitted to the hospital in the last year compared to the year before COVID-19 hit.

The demand for beds is occurring at the same time as a critical shortage of registered nurses and a patient can’t be moved to a bed unless there’s a nurse that can take care of that patient. It’s a problem Snider said isn’t unique to any one institution.

Sun- Many reserves still lack clean water

Since the Trudeau government came to power in 2015, spending to improve the lives of Indigenous people has gone up 140% in seven years, from $11.4 billion annually in 2015 to a projected $27.4 billion this year.

And yet the lives of our Indigenous citizens have not demonstrably improved.

To cite just one example, despite all that spending, the Trudeau government still hasn’t fulfilled its 2015 election promise to end all drinking water advisories on reserves by March 31, 2021.

The Most Interesting Man In The World

NY Post;

Hunter Biden’s hard drive contained an enviable lineup of contacts for top US officials tasked with overseeing the US-China relationship, and at least 10 senior Google executives — raising new questions about the extent to which Joe Biden’s well-connected son could have leveraged his connections for personal profit, The Post has learned.

Many of the top-level government officials would have been in position to help Hunter Biden’s business aspirations in China during father’s term as vice president from 2008 to 2016. Throughout that period, he infamously looked to capitalize from his family name and connections — often while his father conducted sensitive state business.

As for the Google braintrust, one former exec there told The Post that Hunter Biden sought the tech giant’s cash for Chinese ventures, and that several of the company’s bigwigs wound up working for the Obama-Biden administration during his father’s vice presidency.

War On Agriculture

The Netherlands has been hit by massive protests as thousands of Dutch farmers demonstrate against government’s globalist climate change policies that threaten to stifle country’s agriculture sector.

The farmers’ protests are in response to parliament’s decision, taken on June 28, to drastically reduce emissions, particularly those in the agriculture and livestock sectors. They are “protesting against a proposal, approved by lawmakers Tuesday, to reduce emissions of pollutants like nitrogen oxide and ammonia by 50% by 2030,” the Associated Press reported this week.

The new emission regulations could devastate Dutch farm-owners. The French TV channel EuroNews noted that Parliament’s “decision is expected to lead to major upheavals in the country’s multi-billion euro agricultural industry.”

And they’re not messing around.

Video shows several farmers on the streets attacking police and emergency vehicles with sledgehammers while others chase the vehicles down and launch kicks against the windows.

In another video, farmers, who brought their own tractors, can be seen outside the Minister for Nitrogen and Nature policy’s house spraying what appears to be manure on the house and police vehicles while other protesters attempt to flip a car.

Nation.Cymru – ‘Not right’: UK Government dips into Welsh and Scottish budgets for £1bn Ukraine military aid

“What is not right is using money that should be for investment in devolved areas, like health and education, to fund a non-devolved spending area – military aid and defence.

Mirror- UK’s ‘mad’ plan to cut 9,500 soldiers will ‘break’ rest of the Army, says former chief

General Lord Richard Dannatt feared cutting troop numbers from 82,000 to just 72,500 will pile unsustainable pressure on what is left of the force.

“It’s a mere fact of life, we will break the remainder of our Army if our Army is not large enough, trained well enough and equipped well enough to do what the Government of the day wants us to do,” the retired officer, who was head of the Army during operations in Afghanistan, told Sky News.

“You can’t make people work endlessly with such small numbers, so numbers in terms of our land forces really, really matter.”

Infrastructure collapse

At the beginning of the pandemic, Jordan Peterson wrote about the dangers of monkeying with complex systems that are a critical linchpin in the economy. Thanks to the prevalence of the idiotic notion that the economy can be paused just like a DVD player, we are now faced with a serious breakdown in our economic infrastructure.

Oksana Klausmann had booked a trip from Toronto to New York City for late June and says…she and her daughter went through customs only to discover that they were not on the flight manifest, despite having their boarding passes.

From there, she says they were taken to a small room packed with other families….

She described the room as not having enough seats for everyone, forcing some to sit on the floor, and one small washroom with no soap, toilet paper or paper towels.

Several hours later, they received an email saying their flight was cancelled. An agent then arrived with a pair of police officers confirming the situation.

“What happened next should never happen to my daughter and me. Riot, angry people, screaming, yelling, pushing, and a lot more,” she said. “It was unsafe, scary, violent, and hostile. I took my daughter and we tried to leave the room filled with more than 200 or 300 angry people.”

Western Standard- Privacy risks identified in biometric passport scheme

A little-known scheme to track travellers through Toronto’s Pearson airport resulted in what the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) identified as “privacy risks,” says Blacklock’s Reporter.

Rampant Racism Breaks Out on the Left

Here is an excellent interview with Adam Coleman, author of this recent article.

Do share this with your Leftist friends and family members who are active on social media. Ask them if they are okay with singling out Clarence Thomas and using racial epitaphs against him. Request that they post on social media, demanding people stop these attacks against Justice Thomas. If they refuse to do so, know that you have a closet racist in your midst.
