National Post- Corporate Canada betrayed capitalism. Now it has been betrayed

Progressive statism has never been about the climate, or transgenderism, or whatever the cause du jour. The target has always been Western values and principles. Free enterprise is anathema to its aspirations, and as it turns out, so is prosperity itself. Canadian companies have betrayed the economic principles of their own society. How does government change one side of a bargain? When there is no other side.

The Canadian business community still does not understand the point of the revolution. There can be no survivors.

Calgary Herald- Long waits for cancer treatment worsens illness, endangers lives, infuriates patients

A heartbreaking video is circulating on social media from a young Edmonton woman whose husband was diagnosed with gastric cancer on May 2, but two months later has no appointment to see an oncologist.

She says he’s developed severe related problems and has been in hospital. Gastric bleeding. Stomach perforation. A collapsed lung.

Brian Zinchuk: Why celebrate Canada Day, when your federal government diminished your free speech 10 days earlier?

I wasn’t aware of the impact of Bill C-59 until Saskatchewan Justice Minister Bronwyn Eyre brought it up at the oil show on June 5. I am increasingly alarmed about its consequences. She’s absolutely right, this is a gag law. And it is now the law of the land. This needs to be addressed, broadly, widely and loudly.

As I note in the column:

This is really an implementation of George Orwell’s 1984, where groupthink has been legislated into law a couple week ago by the federal government. If you say anything against the current orthodoxy of anthropogenic climate change, or even if your efforts to support it are found insufficient, you are an apostate and can be prosecuted for it.

This is not hyperbole. This has really happened.

Your freedom of speech, today, is dramatically reduced from what it was on June 19.

And we allowed it to happen.

Countersignal;

Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced that he might start buying up hotels to house the surge of refugee claimants.

Miller said the move would reduce costs associated with long-term hotel bookings, which is one of the government’s current strategies.

Currently, Ottawa is funding approximately 4,000 hotel rooms for 7,300 asylum seekers, many transferred from provincial shelters and churches, as reported in the Globe and Mail.

“Despite efforts to stabilize the number of asylum claimants, these numbers aren’t going down drastically anytime soon,” Miller said.

The Immigration Minister further said the Liberals’ latest strategy to buy up hotels could include federal and provincial officials to provide services on-site.

From February 2023 to February 2024, over $100 million was spent putting up refugee claimants in Niagara Falls hotels alone.

Do not fear. He has a way to pay for it.

Blacklocks- Drug Injury Counts Skyrocket

Parliament in 2014 passed Bill C-17 An Act To Amend The Food & Drugs Act that expanded cabinet powers to ban the sale of prescription drugs that posed an “imminent risk of injury to health.” Regulations in 2017 mandated hospital reporting of all serious adverse drug reactions.

“Since the mid 1990s all annual adverse drug reaction reports have increased from 4,000 to more than 80,000,” said Evaluation. “Serious adverse drug reactions have increased from 1,500 to more than 60,000 per year.”

The new Evaluation report described Canada as the world’s ninth largest prescription drug market. “From 2011 to 2019 the value of total sales including non-patented, over-the-counter medicines increased by 35 percent to $29.9 billion,” it said.

Reversing The Onus

Offering up yet another example of his incredible arrogance, Volodymyr Zelenskyy demands to know how Donald Trump would end the war if he becomes President again. I’ve got a better question: how does Zelenskyy propose to win it?

“If Trump knows how to finish this war, he should tell us today,” Zelenskyy said in a Bloomberg Television interview in Kyiv on Wednesday.

“It’s not a deadlock, it’s a problematic situation,” he said. “A deadlock means there’s no way out. But a problem can be solved if one has the will and has the tools. We do have the will, and the tools – they haven’t arrived yet.”

Global- Greece is bringing in a 6-day work week

The pro-business government of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said the changes are “growth-oriented” and are necessary given the country’s shrinking population and lack of skilled labour — a crisis Mitsotakis has described as a “ticking time bomb.”

However, the move is not finding many takers here in Canada.

BBC- Greece starts six-day working week for some industries

New legislation, which came into effect at the start of July, allows employees to work up to 48 hours in a week as opposed to 40.

It only applies to businesses which operate on a 24-hour basis and is optional for workers, who get paid an extra 40% for the overtime they do.

Shell pauses construction at one of Europe’s biggest biofuels plants

Shell has paused construction at one of its biggest energy transition projects, a huge plant in Rotterdam that was intended to convert waste into jet fuel and biodiesel.

The plant, which was given the green light in 2021, was already behind schedule because of technical difficulties. Originally slated to start production in April, Shell said earlier this year it would be operational “in the latter part of the decade”.

On Tuesday, Shell said it needed to “temporarily pause” work “to address project delivery and ensure future competitiveness given current market conditions”. The company declined to comment on how long the delay would be.

Sun- Ford gov’t supports Ontario-based news publishers with $25M in advertising

“This is important. Everyone understands the value of journalism and a free press and its criticality to Canada and to democracy,” said Andrew MacLeod, Postmedia’s president and chief executive officer.

“I’m certainly extremely grateful to the leadership of Premier (Doug) Ford and his team. My hope is this will serve as an example, a North Star, not just for other provincial governments, but for the federal government and for major corporations.”

MacLeod said the initiative is something the publishing industry has been lobbying for with the Ontario government and other governments in Canada, including the federal government, and that it “didn’t make sense” that advertising dollars, paid for by taxpayers, were going to Google and Facebook.

Sun- Ontario only province that locks down inmates due to staff shortages

The lawsuits covers a period up to 2017, but the most recent data from the province shows that 81 per cent of inmates in provincial jails are awaiting trial and presumptively innocent.

The lockdowns strip inmates of basic human rights and violate their Charter rights to life, liberty and security of the person, and the right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment, the lawsuits allege.

“During lockdowns, prisoners suffer from a deprivation of health care, privacy, dignity, security and hygiene that violate even the basic standards applicable to prisoners in the correctional institutions,” lawyers write in a statement of claim.

Biden Plunges in Swing States in Leaked Post-Debate Poll

The memo was put together after the debate by OpenLabs, a progressive nonprofit that conducts polling and message-testing for a constellation of Democratic groups, including the 501(c)4 nonprofit associated with Future Forward, the preferred Super PAC for Biden’s reelection campaign. OpenLabs is something of a black box: Their website is mostly blank, they don’t seek publicity, and their client list is closely held. But their data-driven memos are trusted in Democratic circles, and typically passed around to a small group of clients and strategists. One of those Democrats forwarded me the OpenLabs document on Tuesday morning. […]

The poll found that Biden has dropped only slightly in the national horse race against Trump, by .08 points. That mostly squares with the public narrative from the Biden campaign in the wake of the debate, as their team has labored to calm Democratic panic over Biden’s ability to beat Trump in November. Geoff Garin, one of Biden’s top pollsters, tweeted over the weekend that the campaign’s internal polling showed that the national race was mostly unchanged. “The debate had no effect on the vote choice,” he said. “The election was extremely close and competitive before the debate, and it is still extremely close and competitive today.” Polls conducted immediately after the debate by CNN and FiveThirtyEight suggested similarly negligible gains for Trump nationally, with CNN reporting that “just 5 percent of respondents say it changed their minds about whom to vote for.”

But according to OpenLabs, that’s only part of the story. While the debate may have barely registered in national data, in their surveys of key Electoral College states where voters are paying closer attention to the campaign, Biden is doing noticeably worse. In a poll including third-party candidates, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the president has fallen by around 2 points in every single core battleground—and also in states that were not even on the 2024 map last week. In the tipping-point state of Pennsylvania, Biden now trails by 7 points, compared to 5 points before the debate. He has also dropped in Michigan, where he now trails Trump by 7. OpenLabs also found that he is now losing by roughly 10 points in Georgia and Arizona, and by almost 9 points in Nevada.

The most worrisome angle to all this is that Trump is now within striking distance in a variety of states that weren’t considered campaign battlegrounds last week. Biden is now only winning by a fraction of a point in Virginia, Maine, Minnesota, and New Mexico—and he’s now only winning Colorado by around 2 points.

The survey also found that Biden is now losing in New Hampshire, news that aligns with a Saint Anselm College poll released Monday showing Trump suddenly winning the Granite State
