National Post- Meet the man Justin Trudeau hired to clean up his image

Max Valiquette will likely be tasked with trying to reverse those trends. Valiquette founded Youthography, a Toronto-based youth market research company, and also worked with Bensimon Byrne, a Toronto-based advertising agency.

Canada’s largest independent advertising agency, Bensimon Byrne has counted both the Liberal Party of Canada and the Liberal Party of Ontario as clients.

I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords

The drama from OpenAI has done what I think is somewhat permanent damage to the company and the product with the largest PAYING clients the have. The executives want answers and they don’t get this from their “I know the API” staff.

THIS IS A BIG CRISIS.

I’ll be here all day.

Elon Musk played a big role in persuading Ilya Sutskever to join OpenAI as chief scientist in 2015. Now the Tesla CEO wants to know what he saw there that scared him so much.

Maybe its just the lying.

Import your doctors, import their disease: A Wave of Jew-Hatred in the Medical Fields

Several doctors publicly celebrated the savagery that Hamas inflicted upon Israel, which featured barbarism that rivals some of the darkest episodes of human history. Dr. Shiraz Farooq took to social media to post a Palestinian flag with the caption “about time!!!” As of today it appears he is still leading the ColoWell proctology clinic in Tampa, Florida. Dr. Majd Aburabia, the medical director of a cancer center in Dearborn, Michigan, posted on social media: “What a beautiful morning. What a beautiful day,” referencing the musical Oklahoma! to express joy about the Hamas assault. An update posted by Stop Antisemitism claims that her employment at Beaumont Hospital was terminated, but as of today she is still listed as an employee on the hospital’s website. Dr. Abeer Abou Yabis, a physician at the Emory Winship Cancer Institute, similarly took to social media to celebrate Hamas’ attack, writing “They got walls we got gliders glory to all resistance fighters.” She is no longer employed at Emory. Dr. Dana Diab commented on Instagram that “Zionist settlers” got “a taste of their own medicine.” She was subsequently fired from her ER physician job at Lenox Hill. Raeda Saeed, a registered nurse in the Chicago area, sent a direct message expressing her desire that a Chicago-area mother and daughter who were kidnapped be “burned alive and fed to Israel dogs.” It’s unclear if she has faced any professional consequences.

Groomer Kingdom

Oh no! Disney has reportedly lost a billion dollars just on four of its recent “woke” movie flops…

You can bring movies to the public, but you cannot make them sell. Once an unassailable and uniting brand, Disney brand is now negatively associated with activism by a significant number of consumers. The company is now even reporting a decline in licensing revenue from products associated with Star Wars, Frozen, Toy Story and Mickey and Friends — iconic and once-unassailable corporate images.

The question is how long Disney (or its shareholders) can tolerate falling revenues tied to its “misalignment with the public.” It is a massive corporation and it can lose billions before facing any truly dire decisions. Yet even Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, now appears to be seeking to “quiet things down” after years of culture wars.

Update: Another bad weekend at the box office.

British Exceptionalism

Unlike Canada, there are still some nations in the world, such as the UK and America, where doctors are not automatically driven from their careers for disagreeing with Covid policy. Dr. John Campbell brings us this engaging interview with Dr. Clare Craig about the myths and reality of virus spread, masking and scientific modeling in the Covid era. Her book is available on Amazon UK.

“There is a problem that we have that modelers… first of all, their entire career is about this sort of event, so they want to spin it and out and exaggerate it….the worse they can make it, the better it is for them so they become the heros…So they’ve got all the wrong motivations and on top of that, if they say 85% are going to be susceptible and they’ve got it wrong, there doesn’t seem to be any consequence for them….They have this massive incentive to always be over-calling it.”

 

The Children Are Our Future

And that’s why I’ve learned how to make pemmican.

This sense of demoralized ennui and bitter cynicism was created on purpose, by battalions of Marxist educators and popular culture. They worked hard to sever the natural bonds between young people and their family, culture, and nation, creating a generation of angry orphans.

The result of this educational program was not a generation of proud free thinkers, but rather a sea of despondent youth who are easily recruited to fanatical causes because they were taught to distrust traditions, family, capitalist freedom, and even humanity itself.

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

Sky News, Australia;

The health official who conspired with Anthony Fauci to downplay suggestions Covid-19 leaked from a Wuhan laboratory has revealed he lies awake at night agonising about the chain of events they set in motion.

The former Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the US Department of Health, Dr Robert Kadlec, has told Sky News he feels obligated to reveal confidential discussions he had with Dr Fauci, America’s top infectious diseases adviser, about diverting attention away from the lab leak theory.

In his first television interview, to air on Sky News on Tuesday night, he also warns of another pandemic emerging from high-risk experiments in laboratories globally, saying the lessons from Covid-19 haven’t been learnt.
