https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/uodate-german-officials-storm-migrant-shelter-connection-isis/

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, an “Arab-looking” man attacked several people who were celebrating the ‘virtues’ of diversity at a major festival in Germany on Friday night.

The killer, who, as Jim Hoft revealed, was screaming “Allahu Akbar,” stabbed three people to death while wounding eight others at the Festival of Diversity in Solingen, a city around 25km east of Dusseldorf. The attack happened on a central square, the Fronhof, at around 9:45 PM local time.

Earlier reports revealed the horrifying mass murder was a direct result of Islamist terrorism. Continue...

Death Of Woke: Queer Activist Video Game Funded By The EU Can't Find Players

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/death-woke-queer-activist-video-game-funded-eu-cant-find-players

If the new punk rock is to be politically correct, then it's not punk rock. The woke activist invasion of popular media since 2015 continues to ignore the reality that they are not "rebels", they are villains, and their delusions are becoming more embarrassing for them with each passing year.

Woke tropes have become poison for any brand seeking a wider audience or greater profits, to the point that activist media projects must now be funded by governments and NGOs through DEI initiatives just to pay developer salaries. The goal? To saturate the market with multicultural ideology and LGBT propaganda until the public was forced to accept it and consume it as "normal." The agenda has failed.

Every new woke product seems to bomb harder than the last these days and that's a good sign for the future. Video game players, a market which now dwarfs movies and TV streaming, are rejecting woke material en masse. Case in point: Dustborn. Continue...

Ontario hospitals in crisis as severe understaffing and burnout pushes workers to the brink: study

https://tnc.news/2024/08/25/ontario-understaffing-burnout/

Ontario’s hospitals are at a breaking point, driven by severe understaffing and escalating burnout among healthcare workers, according to a new study.

The study, titled “Running on Empty,” conducted in collaboration with the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions-Canadian Union of Public Employees, paints a grim picture of the province’s healthcare system.

The report interviewed 26 healthcare workers in the province and reviewed existing literature on the healthcare sector and the effectiveness of hospitals and their workers.

“You think it can’t get any worse — and it just got worse. I was going through increasing panic attacks before work, crying before I got out of the car. I loved going to work when I first started. Now I dread it,” said a trauma department nurse who participated in the in-depth interviews.

The study cited previous research that noted increased exhaustion, burnout, fear, anxiety, and frustration among healthcare workers following the pandemic. Since the onset of the pandemic, the study said that healthcare workers have faced unprecedented demands.

“One of the foundations of overwork is understaffing, which leads to heavier workloads, poorer care, and increased strain from health and safety risks. In turn, they are experiencing negative physical and mental effects, including stress and anxiety,” reads the study. “Burnout and negative coping strategies have also increased, and patient care is compromised.” Continue...

Nearly half a million Canadians accessing EI as unemployment surges: StatsCan

https://tnc.news/2024/08/25/half-million-accessing-employment-insurance/

More Canadians are receiving Employment Insurance benefits, as unemployment continues to grow across the country.

The number of Canadians receiving Employment Insurance benefits has risen over 10% since the same time last year, according to new data released by Statistics Canada.

According to new data released on Thursday, 474,000 Canadians are receiving Employment Insurance benefits, rising 6,000, or 1.3%, since the previous month, marking the second consecutive monthly increase.

Since June 2023, regular EI beneficiaries have increased by 44,720 to 473,980 recipients, a rise of 10.4%. Comparatively, Canada had 497,130 EI beneficiaries in June 2022.

“In general, variations in the number of EI beneficiaries can reflect changes in circumstances of different groups, including those becoming beneficiaries, those going back to work, those exhausting their regular benefits, and those no longer receiving benefits for other reasons,” reads the report.

The record-shattering surge of migrant crossings in the Swanton Sector continues with the apprehension of more than 2,700 migrants in July. The sector of the U.S.-Canada Border experienced an increase of nearly 200 percent from the same record-setting period one year earlier.

According to the CBP Nationwide Encounters report, during the first ten months of Fiscal Year 24, which began in October 2023, Swanton Sector agents apprehended 15,612 migrants who illegally crossed the border from Canada into Northeastern New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/flashback-telegram-ceo-pavel-durov-us-government-attempted/

On Saturday, the CEO of the popular messaging app Telegram was arrested at Le Bourget airport in France for refusing to comply with the country’s censorship laws.

Pavel Durov, 39, was arrested on the tarmac as he got off his private jet from Azerbaijan.

Mike Benz, the founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online released a video explaining who he believes is behind this arrest – The US State Department.

Benz is an authority of the Deep State and the US government operations in Europe and abroad.

This would make sense the globalist left has been working to control speech in the West for several years now. Several governments, including the United States, are involved in this operation.

During a previous interview with Tucker Carlson, Pavel Durov said said the US government secretly attempted to infiltrate Telegram. Continue...

Macron Widely Mocked For Saying Telegram CEO's Arrest 'Not Politically Motivated'

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/france-extends-detention-telegram-ceo-pavel-durov-questioning

Update(1235ET): It appears President Emmanuel Macron is feeling the pressure after French authorities arrested Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov over the weekend. The prosecutor's office has since said his detention may last until Aug.28.

Several prominent tech entrepreneurs and public figures - for example Elon Musk - have decried the move as selective persecution against a known advocate of free speech. In a rare move Macron weighed in directly on Monday, claiming it has nothing to do with his government and that Durov's arrest and ongoing detention is not politically motivated.

Macron said Monday, "The arrest of Telegram's president on French territory took place as part of an ongoing judicial investigation. This is in no way a political decision. It is up to the judges to decide." Macron further condemned what he called "false information" surrounding the case.

Yet even The New York Times has pointed out that this has become a "Free Speech Flashpoint"... And others point out that that the truth is precisely the opposite of everything Macron asserted. Continue...

In a strategic move which puts pressure on Ukraine in response to its ongoing Kursk incursion into Russia, Belarus has built-up its troops along parts of its southern border with Ukraine.

A Sunday statement by Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanded that Belarus pull back its forces or risk further escalation and "tragic mistakes".

The statement described that under the guise of exercises, "a significant number of personnel, including Special Operations Forces, weapons, and military equipment" are present at the border. It additionally named the presence of former Wagner PMC forces. Continue...

Canadian builders taking fewer projects, plan to cut productivity in half

https://tnc.news/2024/08/26/builders-taking-fewer-projects/

Canadian builders have shown declining interest in taking on new projects, as productivity on build starts has dropped for the eighth consecutive quarter, according to a new survey.

The Canadian Home Builders Association published its second quarter survey called the Housing Market Index, indicating the present and future health of Canada’s residential construction industry.

The HMI survey assesses the current selling market and expectations for selling conditions over the next six months as well as buyer interest and the association said its findings “continue to reflect broadly negative views about the health of new home sales.”

“The single-family HMI recorded a score of 29.9 (out of 100), which is 5 points lower than in the previous quarter and 10 points lower than in Q2 2023,” reads the survey.

“The second quarter 2024 multi-family HMI score is 32.5, which is 5.4 points lower than in the previous quarter and 8.5 points lower than Q2 from a year ago. These latest results indicate that builder sentiment has been downbeat for two full years.”

The CHBA also noted that the full effects of interest-rate-driven sales have yet to be felt, given the differences in building timelines and builders’ reliance on sales so they can secure financing.

British Columbia and Ontario appear to be the provinces where builders are less optimistic about the prospects of building, the problem is further exacerbated by the fact that the two also represent the majority of new starts for this year. Continue...

https://tnc.news/2024/08/28/doctor-decries-quebec-health-reinstate-masking/

A Quebec regional health board north of Montreal reinstated masking across its facilities in response to a jump in COVID-19 cases, however, one doctor believes the decision to be politically motivated, rather than rooted in scientific harm reduction.

The Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de Laval made the decision to require staff to wear masks when in direct contact with patients last week, according to an internal memo obtained by CBC News.

However, family and ER physician Dr. Chris Milburn, who has worked in Nova Scotia for over 20 years and has written extensively on masking, said he disagrees with the protocol.

“There were decades of evidence that masks were ineffective for reducing transmission of respiratory viruses. That is why they were never used,“ Milburn told True North. Continue...

Gov says Muslims, Indigenous more impacted by wildfires due to racism, colonialism

https://tnc.news/2024/08/28/muslims-indigenous-wildfires-racism-colonialism/

A Liberal government “intersectional analysis” argued that wildfires have a greater effect on Muslims and Indigenous people because of Canada’s role in perpetuating environmental racism and colonialism.

The Public Health Agency of Canada wants to review the way wildfire evacuations are conducted because they supposedly disproportionately impact minorities. Part of this impact is that evacuating people from First Nations communities traumatizes Indigenous people due to “colonialism” and the history of residential schools.

A “rapid review” released by the agency in July included an “intersectional analysis” arguing that wildfires disproportionally impacted First Nations groups, minorities, women and non-binary people.

Much of the report was dedicated to explaining how those with “Indigenous identity” suffered more from wildfires than others.

“Indigenous communities disproportionately experience both adverse mental health and physical health outcomes due to wildfires,” wrote PHAC. Continue...

Chris Rufo appearance at Alberta conference triggers some sponsors to pull support

https://tnc.news/2024/08/28/chris-rufo-alberta-conference-triggers-sponsors1/

Several corporate sponsors are withdrawing their support of the Canada Strong and Free Network’s Red Deer conference.

The termination of support comes after left-wing activists and journalists have targeted the networking organization for hosting American conservative journalist Christopher Rufo, though the companies are remaining mum as to why they have pulled their support.

A hit piece published in the National Observer at the beginning of August attacked CSFN for hosting Rufo, painting the conservative journalist as “far-right” and a regressive force in politics.

Later in the month, a petition on Change.org started by LGBTQ activist Wilbur Turner began circulating online, seeking to pressure CSFN’s corporate sponsors into withdrawing their support from their September conference in Red Deer because of Rufo’s scheduled talk.

The petition claims sponsors should pull their support because Rufo is one of the leading opponents against critical race theory, actively campaigns against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, appeared alongside Florida Governor Ron DeSantis during the signing of his Stop W.O.K.E. Act, and was appointed to the board of Florida’s New College. Continue...

Bombshell HHS report admits children who consume high levels of fluoride have lower IQs

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/bombshell-hhs-report-admits-children-who-consume-high-levels-of-fluoride-have-lower-iqs/

A report published by the Department of Health and Human Services’ National Toxicology Program found that excessive fluoride consumption is linked to a two to five-point IQ reduction in children.

The U.S. government just made a long-overdue admission regarding the harmful effects fluoridated water is having on children.

Long characterized as a “conspiracy theory” by mainstream media, medical officials, and political officials, a bombshell report published earlier this month by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has found that excessive fluoride consumption has been linked to a two to five-point IQ reduction in kids.

“The determination about lower IQs in children was based primarily on …. exposure amounts higher than 1.5 mg fluoride/L of drinking water,” the study found. “The U.S. Public Health Service currently recommends 0.7 mg/L, and the World Health Organization has set a safe limit for fluoride in drinking water of 1.5 mg/L. The NTP found no evidence that fluoride exposure had adverse effects on adult cognition.”

The startling admission, made by the National Toxicology Program after eight years of study, was based on previously available data collected by researching pregnant women and infants in Canada, China, India, Iran, Pakistan, and Mexico. The HHS presented its findings “with moderate confidence.” Continue...

Ukraine has demanded that no conditions be attached to a $50 billion loan by G7 members to the country which is reportedly backed by seized Russian assets.

Speaking at the ‘Ukraine 2024. Independence’ forum on Tuesday, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmigal stated that while G7 leaders agreed to lend $50 billion in June, Kiev insists on a certain “political framework” related to the funds.

“Ukraine should receive them by the end of this year at the latest. These funds should be provided to Ukraine without any conditions,” he insisted.

This loan also “should be interest-free and not affect an increase in the state debt,” Shmigal went on, adding that Kiev must be able to use the funds for any of its needs, primarily to compensate for the damage the country has suffered during the conflict. The prime minister noted that Kiev and the G7 had reached an agreement on this point, but said he wants Ukraine to be able to use the funds to finance the budget and the military. Continue...

Calgary judge Karen Molle has proclaimed Canadian pastor guilty of “criminal harassment” for protesting a "drag queen story time” for children that a city library was hosting early this year.

Calgary judge Karen Molle has proclaimed a Canadian pastor guilty of “criminal harassment” for protesting a “drag queen story time” for children that a city library was hosting early this year.

Pastor Derek Reimer, was also found guilty of breaching his bail conditions, which bar him from protesting any LGBTQ event. Supporters of one drag queen story hour actually threw Reimer to the ground when he opposed an event. A video of the apparent assault gained global attention.

“A judge found me guilty today of criminal harassment for expressing my opposition towards drag queen story hour to a library manager set on hosting the event. For posting the video of our interaction on Facebook, and saying we’ll be back (to protest) if the event continues,” Reimer told LifeSiteNews.

When not demonstrating at drag queen shows for kids, Reimer is the head of MISSION7, an evangelical ministry to the homeless. The charges relate to incidents that occurred in Calgary from March 25 to Apr. 2, 2024. Reimer could receive up to two years in jail at his sentencing hearing and he told LifeSite that he will “be posting the sentencing date soon.”

The news could have been even worse for Reimer. Judge Molle did not find him guilty on charges of causing a disturbance and she dismissed two charges alleging that he caused a public disturbance with a loudspeaker outside of the drag queen story hours. Molle said these actions were not criminal.

Andrew MacKenzie, the lawyer who is representing Reimer said an appeal of the conviction is possible. Reimer was released on bail. 'Continue...

Op/Ed: Former RCMP money laundering investigator calls for independent corruption probe agency

What has happened to integrity and love for our country above personal gain?

As someone who has lived through seven decades and had family members who fought in two world wars, I find it deeply disheartening to witness that the democracy they fought to preserve is being jeopardized by the actions of some of our politicians and leaders, who seem willing to sacrifice our national interests for personal benefit.

It appears that many Canadians are passively accepting that entering politics entitles one to enrich oneself or benefit family and friends.

Almost daily, we observe that political leaders often adhere to scripts on major topics that are devoid of truth, serving only to justify decisions that are, frankly, indefensible.

The temptation for politicians to use their significant power and resources for personal gain rather than the public good can be overwhelming, especially when the rewards are substantial and the risk of getting caught appears low—a norm that seems to have taken hold in Canada.

A modern definition of corruption [readily available to anyone who cares to research this online] includes the abuse of power or position for personal gain, which undermines fairness, integrity, and the proper functioning of institutions. Continue...

In recent years Saudi Arabia and Israel have been moving remarkably fast toward the restoration of official relations, in what's been called a highly anticipated 'deal of the century' - but the Gaza war in the wake of Oct.7 have put these efforts on hold and looks to derail the initiative altogether.

This week tensions have escalated, given that Muslims see current Israeli policies toward Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem as very seriously threatening and an affront to their faith. Israel’s hard-line Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir this week went to so far as to call for a synagogue to be built atop Islam's third holiest site.

The remarks came during a Monday interview with Army Radio and immediately unleashed controversy, with some Israeli groups even condemning the remarks as needlessly inflammatory and unrealistic. Continue...

The Western Way Of War - Owning The Narrative Trumps Reality

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/western-way-war-owning-narrative-trumps-reality

War propaganda and feint are as old as the hills. Nothing new. But what is new is that infowar is no longer the adjunct to wider war objectives – but has become an end in and of itself.

So, war becomes rather the setting for imposing ideological alignment across a wide global alliance and enforcing it via compliant media.

This objective enjoys a higher priority than, say, ensuring a manufacturing capacity sufficient to sustain military objectives. Crafting an imagined ‘reality’ has taken precedence over shaping the ground reality.

The point here is that this approach – being a function of whole of society alignment (both at home and abroad) – creates entrapments into false realities, false expectations, from which an exit (when such becomes necessary), turns near impossible, precisely because imposed alignment has ossified public sentiment.

Zelensky Claims West-Supplied F16s Successfully Shot Down Russian Missiles

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/zelensky-claims-west-suppled-f16s-successfully-shot-down-russian-missiles

This week Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that for the first time Western-supplied F-16 fighter jets have been engaged in combat against the Russians, and successfully shot down inbound missiles and drones.

"We destroyed already some missiles and drones using the F-16," Zelensky said Tuesday, specifically in comments given in English, before a press briefing - but without providing many details.

The first batch of F-16s donated by European countries, and greenlighted by Washington, only arrived earlier this month; however it's not known precisely how many are now in Ukraine's possession or where they are operating from. Continue...

Canada likely to surpass 2023 number of temporary foreign workers, despite new restrictions

https://tnc.news/2024/08/29/canada-surpass-2023-temporary-foreign-workers/

Despite the federal government walking back the amount of temporary foreign workers it will admit into certain regions, Canada could still potentially break record numbers this year.

After admitting more than one million temporary foreign workers into Canada, the Trudeau government now plans to crack down on the program by accepting fewer people.

Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault announced the new restrictions on hiring temporary foreign workers in markets with high unemployment rates during the Liberals’ cabinet retreat this week.

Low-wage temporary foreign worker positions have skyrocketed in recent years, up 291% this year, compared to 2018, with the data currently available indicating that Canada is on track to wildly surpass last year’s record.

According to the latest government data, Canada has already seen 28,730 low-wage temporary foreign worker positions in the first quarter of 2024, or 34% of last year’s total volume. Continue...

Toronto police superintendent demoted for helping black officers cheat on exams

https://tnc.news/2024/08/29/tps-superintendent-demoted-black-officers-cheat/

The first black woman superintendent of the Toronto Police Service has been demoted for a minimum of two years over a cheating scandal.

Former Superintendent Stacy Clarke pleaded guilty to seven counts of professional misconduct in May for her involvement in helping six Black constables cheat on their promotional exams. A ruling on her conduct was handed down by the police tribunal on Wednesday.

During the May hearing, Clarke described her experience as “traumatic, painful, and disorienting,” adding that her actions were driven by a sense of frustration and despair over the perceived systemic barriers she faced within the service.

All of the instances of professional misconduct occurred in 2021, the year after Clarke was promoted to Superintendent when she became the first black female officer to hold that rank in the Toronto Police Service.

In May, police prosecutor Scott Hutchison recommended a harsher penalty for Clarke, advocating for a two-year demotion across two ranks, according to CP24. His proposal would have reduced Clarke by two ranks to staff sergeant for one year, followed by a year as an inspector, one rank below superintendent, before she could reapply for her former position.

Clarke’s lawyer, Joseph Markson, argued for a shorter demotion period of 12 to 18 months to the rank of inspector, with automatic reinstatement to superintendent afterwards.

The hearing officer ruled that automatic reinstatement was inappropriate.

A middle ground was found, and Clarke will be demoted to inspector for at least two years. She will be able to reapply for her former rank afterwards.

The Toronto Police Service issued a press release on Wednesday saying that it respects the case’s outcome. Continue...

NS ministers call for help from feds to combat organized crime in fishing industry

https://tnc.news/2024/08/29/ns-ministers-feds-organized-crime-fishing/

Two provincial cabinet ministers say that organized crime is “terrorizing” several local lobster fishing communities in southwestern Nova Scotia, due to poor federal enforcement.

Letters were sent to the Trudeau government last week by Fisheries Minister Kent Smith and Justice Minister Barbara Adams, requesting assitance and further collaboration in dealing with what they say is an increase in serious crime in the municipalities of Clare and Meteghan.

“I am hearing directly from fishers that have been threatened, that have had property damaged and that live in constant fear of repercussions for speaking out,” Smith told federal Fisheries Minister Diane Lebouthillier in a letter dated Aug. 22.

According to Smith, the inability of Lebouthillier’s department to prevent illegal activity, including out-of-season lobster fishing has “enabled and emboldened the growth of organized crime that is terrorizing the community.”

“Lack of action impacts public safety and the sustainability of our most valuable seafood resource. It also diverts tax revenues from both our governments that can be reinvested in our communities,” reads the letter. Continue...

Liberal party staffers drop out ahead of byelection over Trudeau’s stance on Gaza

https://tnc.news/2024/08/29/liberal-party-staffers-drop-out-gaza/

A cohort of ministerial staffers in the Liberal Party of Canada have pulled their support from the government over its handling of the Israel-Hamas war, the majority of whom are of Middle Eastern descent.

A letter addressed to “the leader of the Liberal party” was signed by 52 staffers and says that they will not be participating in the upcoming byelection campaign for the Lasalle-Emard-Verdun riding in Montreal, QC.

The seat was recently left vacant following former Liberal justice minister David Lametti’s resignation.

“While many of us started our political careers in elections as volunteers, we can no longer in good conscience campaign for a party that excludes us and our values,” reads the letter obtained by CBC News.

The letter indicates that the staffers will not be participating in activities as party members until the Trudeau government changes its diplomatic approach to the conflict and “join our allies in explicitly condemning Israel for its numerous war crimes and for the genocidal rhetoric from members of the Israeli Cabinet.”

Additionally, the group is demanding that Canada “join our allies, including Norway, Spain, and Ireland in recognizing the state of Palestine,” and “acknowledge anti-Palestinian racism as a unique form of hate and work to address it in Canada.” Continue...

Canadian Armed Forces veteran Jeff Evely was on his way for his shift standing guard at the War Memorial when he was arrested by police for entering a closed off area at the 2022 Freedom Convoy.

A Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veteran is on trial for mischief and obstruction charges after he was forcibly detained at the 2022 Freedom Convoy.

According to a press release from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), the trial for CAF veteran Jeff Evely continued Tuesday. Evely is charged with mischief and obstructing police. He was arrested while on his way to guard the Ottawa War Memorial during the 2022 Freedom Convoy.

“The actions of the Ottawa police in locking down downtown Ottawa and preventing all civilians from accessing public areas greatly exceeded their powers under the common law,” JCCF lawyer Chris Fleury said of the case.

“Mr. Evely’s arrest for simply being inside of the locked down area was arbitrary,” he insisted. Continue...

Zero Star Review: Yelp Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Google Alleging Anticompetitive Practices in Local Search

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2024/08/29/zero-star-review-yelp-files-antitrust-lawsuit-against-google-alleging-anticompetitive-practices-in-local-search/

Yelp, a long-time rival of Google, has filed an antitrust lawsuit against the search giant, accusing it of engaging in anticompetitive practices in the local search market.

The Verge reports that Yelp, one of Google’s most vocal competitors, has filed an antitrust lawsuit against the search engine giant. The move comes less than a month after a federal judge ruled that Google had violated antitrust laws and maintained an illegal monopoly. Yelp’s lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of California, alleges that Google has created or preserved its monopoly in local search services by favoring its own inferior vertical over those of competitors, thereby harming competition and reducing the quality of local search services.

According to Yelp, Google’s practice of directing users toward its own local search vertical from its general search engine results page constitutes an illegal tying of separate products, preventing rivals from reaching scale. The company is seeking a court order to stop Google’s allegedly anticompetitive conduct and to pay damages. Yelp has demanded a jury trial, and the case will be heard in the same court where a jury previously found Google guilty of maintaining an illegal monopoly through its app store in a separate case against Epic Games.

"In almost all the investigations as far as money laundering, we’d seize their phones, and see Canada light up like a Christmas tree": State Department official on US banking investigations

In an explosive interview regarding U.S. government investigations into billions of dollars of fentanyl-cash laundering through Toronto-Dominion Bank and other major U.S. banks, David Asher, a former senior investigator working with the State Department, CIA, and DEA Special Operations Division, stated that transnational mafias co-opted by the Chinese Communist Party run North American money laundering networks through a “command and control” structure centered in Toronto and linked to the notorious Markham, Ontario-based narco-kingpin known as Tse Chi Lop, a.k.a. 'Brother Number 3.'

Asher said the U.S. government has irrefutable evidence that Chinese Triad leaders such as Tse Chi Lop are working with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to facilitate global money laundering and drug trafficking operations that involve Mexican cartels.

Asher described these criminal organizations as integral components of the CCP's strategy, effectively weaponizing them against Western nations, particularly the U.S. and Canada. Continue...

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/ukraine-breaks-under-killer-drones-reestablishes-maneuver-warfare/

The Ukraine move into Russia may have started as a simple, small-scale raid for propaganda purposes, but it seems to have broken the period of static warfare.

Reports began appearing of Ukrainian forces penetrating Russian border defenses on Aug. 6 in the Kursk Oblast. As is usual in fast-moving combat operations, the scale and intent of the operation was unclear, but as of Aug. 15, the operation continued, and it appears to be growing into a larger-scale campaign that is having a significant impact on the entire Ukraine theater of conflict.

It is noteworthy that this sudden reversion to maneuver warfare is taking place on the same ground that the largest tank battle in human history took place in July 1943 and August 1943 during World War II. Continue...

In his forthcoming coffee table book, Save America, Trump revisits a long-debated rumor that has circulated in conservative circles for years: Could dictator Fidel Castro be the biological father of tyrant Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau?

According to an excerpt obtained by the Daily Mail, Trump doesn’t shy away from the suggestion.

“Justin Trudeau and I got along very well, but there were natural differences in that he is very Liberal, and I, to put it mildly, am not,” Trump writes.

“It will be very interesting to see how we do in the future, but first, I have to get there (back to the White House).”

“His mother was beautiful and wild. In the 1970s, she would go “clubbing” with the Rolling Stones, but she was also somehow associated with Fidel Castro. She said he was “the sexiest man I’ve ever met,” and a lot of people say that Justin is his son.

“He swears that he isn’t, but how the hell would he know! Castro had good hair, the “father” didn’t, Justin has good hair, and has become a Communist just like Castro,” Trump added. Continue...

According to Epoch Times, the vast majority of Americans have no pre-existing immunity to the highly pathogenic avian influenza:

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collected blood from 489 people and tested their blood for antibodies against clade 2.3.4.4b A H5N1, a strain of the avian influenza that is currently circulating in the United States.

“This study found no pre-existing neutralizing antibodies to 2.3.4.4b. A(H5N1) and that fewer than 1% of people had low binding antibodies,” a CDC spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email.

The data means “that there is little to no pre-existing immunity to this virus and most of the population would be susceptible to infection from this virus if it were to start infecting people easily and spreading from person-to-person,” the CDC said. Continue...

Update (5:15pm ET): It appears that the US-made F-16 fighter jet, which was handed over to Ukraine earlier this year, was downed by a Ukrainian Patriot air defense system in a friendly fire incident, Ukrainian lawmaker Maryana Bezuglaya said cited by TASS.

"According to my information, the F-16 of the Ukrainian pilot Alexey ‘Moonfish’ Mes was shot down by the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system due to a lack of coordination between the [military] units," she wrote on Telegram.

The lawmaker criticized the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for falsely describing the incident as "a crash."

"The culture of lies in the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as in other higher military headquarters, leads to the fact that the system of managing military decisions does not improve on the basis of truthful, consistently collected analytics, but deteriorates and even collapses, as is happening in the other directions," she wrote.

In her words, none of the generals was punished over the incident that led to the loss of both the aircraft and its pilot. Continue...

The EU has made its first transfer of interest earned on Russia’s frozen central bank assets to Ukraine and other states aiding Kiev, the bloc’s chief diplomat, Josep Borrell, announced on Thursday. A total of €1.4 billion ($1.5 billion) was transferred, he said.

Speaking to reporters ahead of a meeting with EU foreign ministers, Borrell called the development “good news” and said that the funds would be used for Kiev’s military needs and to finance Ukrainian industry.

“We have started using the revenues from windfall profits from frozen Russian assets. [They] have already been sent to Ukraine and sent to the member states who will provide with this money more military equipment to Ukraine,” Borrell stated. He stressed that the frozen assets have allowed the EU to change “the financial logic” of aid, making it possible to “give money directly to Ukraine.”

“Until now, the European Peace Facility was reimbursing the money to the member states that provided support to Ukraine. Now this money comes from the Russian frozen assets… For the first time, we are financing directly the Ukrainian industry,” Borrell added. Continue...

The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear People's Party Leader Maxime Bernier and former Progressive Conservative premier of Newfoundland Brian Peckford's appeals over the vaccine mandate imposed on air travellers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

From Nov. 30, 2021, to June 20, 2022, all air and rail passengers travelling within Canada or leaving Canada were required to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19.

Bernier and Peckford filed judicial reviews taking issue with those rules, but the mandates were suspended before a hearings could take place.

The Federal Court struck down the judicial review applications on the basis that the issue had become moot, ruling that hearing a review of a mandate that no longer existed was not warranted.

The Federal Court of Appeal also dismissed the cases in a decision that said the Federal Court had "correctly identified the approach on a motion to strike for mootness," according to a Supreme Court summary of the case. Continue...

Ownership costs for electric vehicles will have to come down by at least 31% if the government wants to reach its sales target of 60% EVs by 2030, according to the latest report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer.

“Assuming that preferences, technology and policies remain unchanged from a baseline scenario without the standard, PBO estimates that the relative ownership cost of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) would need to decrease by 31% to meet the ZEV sales target of 60% in 2030,” reads the PBO report released on Thursday.

“That is, the ownership cost of ZEVs relative to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in 2030 under the standard would need to be 31% lower compared to the baseline scenario without the standard in 2030.” Continue...

Elections Canada admitted that no background checks were conducted on volunteers, adding that it could not say for sure whether agents of the Chinese Communist Party infiltrated polls in the Aurora-Oak Ridges riding.

After a former MP revealed that agents of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) allegedly worked at the polls during the 2021 federal election, Elections Canada admitted it could not refute the statement made by the former elected official.

As reported by LifeSiteNews earlier this week, documents from a federal inquiry looking at meddling in Canada’s past two elections by foreign state actors show that agents of the CCP allegedly worked at Elections Canada polling centers in the 2021 campaign.

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/why-warren-buffett-dumps-billions-worth-bank-america-stock

Market observers have been puzzled by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway's abrupt selling of billions of dollars of its long-held stake in Bank of America since mid-July.

Buffett's stock dumps could be driven by looming recession threats and the Federal Reserve's interest rate-cutting cycle, which could begin as early as mid-September and dent the bank's interest earnings. Or perhaps the 94-year-old billionaire has increased cash reserves to record levels because of elevated stock valuations amid the artificial intelligence bubble.

Whatever keeps Buffett up at night about BofA has certainly been intriguing across institutional desks, FinTwit X, and various financial media outlets. Some believe this could be a critical market inflection point. Since mid-July, the billionaire has trimmed about 13% of its BofA stake, generating $5.4 billion in proceeds...

... and adding to Berkshire's record cash holdings.

The billionaire has remained silent about the stock dumps. Bloomberg noted Buffett sold an additional $982 million worth of stock earlier this week.

Another potential reason for Buffett's sudden stock selling could be the fear that a US regulatory probe into anti-money laundering surrounding fentanyl cash laundering at Toronto-Dominion Bank could be expanded to major US banks.

In a conversation with Sam Cooper, an investigative journalist behind the Substack "The Bureau," and David Asher, a former senior investigator for the State Department, Asher revealed, "And most of what we're seeing is coming from this TD Bank case, and there's a lot more. We'll see which one of the big four US banks gets named next."

Toronto-Dominion Bank's shockingly lax anti-money laundering (AML) program could be just the tip of the iceberg in the US government's investigation into a Chinese Communist Party-run North American money laundering network that launders billions of dollars in fentanyl cash through a "command and control" structure based in Toronto.

More Than Half Of Commercial Baby Foods Are Unhealthy

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/more-half-commercial-baby-foods-are-unhealthy

Many foods marketed for infants and toddlers are unhealthy and may lead to increased obesity, poor dietary habits, and chronic diseases, according to a new study examining many of the most common products.

Researchers analyzing 651 products from 10 U.S. grocery chains discovered that 60 percent of the processed foods fell short of nutritional requirements set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The foods sampled were intended for children 6 to 36 months old.

“The lowest compliance was found for total protein and total sugar, with over 70% of products failing to meet protein requirements and 44% exceeding total sugar recommendations,” the researchers wrote in the study published last week in the journal Nutrients.

“Infant formulas, fortified milk, and oral electrolytes were not included because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates these products separately,” the authors added.

Canada’s productivity crisis “getting worse” and lagging behind U.S.: report

https://tnc.news/2024/08/31/canadas-productivity-crisis-getting-worse-and-lagging-behind-u-s-report/

Canada’s labour productivity crisis is worsening and has been growing at a much slower rate than its southern neighbours, resulting in Canadians being left with less money in their pockets, according to a recent intelligence memo published by members of the C.D. Howe Institute.

The note, authored by Martin Eichenbaum, Michelle Alexopoulos, and Jeremy M. Kronick, said that the United States’ labour productivity has grown around 100% since 1985. In contrast, Canada has only grown 40%, making Canadian workers 70% as productive as workers in the United States.

“We’re not just falling behind the US — the growth rate of our productivity is well below that of the UK, Germany, and France,” reads the note.

One of the most effective ways to measure labour productivity is through GDP per hour worked. The more GDP generated per hour, the higher a country’s productivity. Continue...

https://tnc.news/2024/08/31/border-security-gazan-refugees/

After a thwarted ISIS terrorist attack at the end of last month in the Greater Toronto Area, a Jewish advocacy group is calling on the Canadian government to strengthen border security before welcoming thousands of Gazan refugees into the country.

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs questioned the efficacy of Canada’s border security screening process, as the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security grilled about the terrorist incident on Thursday. The committee questioned how a man who was allegedly in an ISIS terrorist video dismembering prisoners with a sword was granted Canadian citizenship.

In a post on X, CIJA shared a letter it sent to Immigration Minister Marc Miller, asking for assurance about the security procedures at the border before the government welcomes the planned 5,000 refugees from Gaza. Continue...

The first time a nuclear weapon was used in war was August 6, 1945, when the United States detonated an atomic bomb above Hiroshima, Japan. By year’s end, an estimated 140,000 people had been killed, the majority of whom were civilians. Three days later, the U.S. detonated a second nuclear bomb over Nagasaki, killing tens of thousands more.

Nearly $1 million worth of drugs and cell phones were confiscated at a maximum-security federal institution, on Aug. 19, according to the Correctional Service of Canada.

The federal agency issued a press release on Monday confirming the estimated value of the seized contraband and unauthorized items at Edmonton Institution was $917,400. The items included THC, crystal methamphetamine, and cell phones.

The Correctional Services of Canada said the confiscation was “a result of the vigilance of staff members.”

The agency responsible for jailing and rehabilitating criminal offenders sentenced to two years or more said that the police have been informed and that the institution is investigating.

Canada considering adding DEI, misinformation measures to WHO global pandemic treaty

https://tnc.news/2024/09/01/dei-misinformation-measures-canada-who-global-pandemic-treaty/

The Liberal government hosted a series of meetings with various sectors on what Canada’s input should be in drafting the World Health Organization’s global pandemic treaty. Canada’s contribution to the global discussion called for social media censorship of “misinformation” and a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion when fighting the next pandemic.

The WHO failed to draft the pandemic treaty before the May 2024 deadline, as its world assembly member states could not agree unanimously on the articles of the agreement. The treaty was supposed to give the WHO authority to direct the public health responses of its 194 member nations. The WHO has stated that its failure to draft the treaty was a setback and it will attempt to pass the treaty in the future.

Before the draft failed to reach a consensus, Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis advocated against the treaty saying it would infringe on Canada’s sovereignty by giving undue powers over Canada’s health response to the WHO.

Canada’s Office of International Affairs for the Health Portfolio held the Pandemic Agreement Engagement Series from Jan. 29 to Feb. 12, 2024. The series was held in several Canadian capital cities where 116 individuals from various sectors provided input on the various articles within the pandemic treaty draft. Continue...

CCP harassing Chinese diaspora in Canada, report finds

https://tnc.news/2024/09/01/ccp-harassing-chinese-diaspora-in-canada/

The Chinese Communist Party is systematically targeting Chinese-Canadians and their families who are opposed to the Chinese government.

The finding comes from a study conducted by the think tank Second Street, interviewing 26 Chinese-Canadians who say that they have been targeted by the CCP through a variety of means.

Respondents reported that Chinese-Canadians are liable to face harassment if they hold religious convictions not accepted by the CCP like being a Christian, adherents to the Falun Gong, or for holding pro-democracy and pro-Hong Kong views.

The CCP has been persecuting religious minorities for holding views that may subvert the CCP’s authority, especially the Falun Gong – a new religious group that is ardently anti-communist and supportive of conservative causes in the West. Continue...

The far-left in France has launched an impeachment effort against President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of “serious failings” in his constitutional duties.

This move comes just after Macron’s controversial decision to align with centrist and left-wing forces to maintain control in the Senate, effectively blocking the surge of Marine Le Pen’s right-wing National Rally (RN).

The political drama began when Macron, who has been under increasing pressure from both ends of the political spectrum, chose to partner with the left-wing coalition to thwart the RN’s growing influence. Continue...

The Rise Of Global Conformism

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/rise-global-conformism

At a formal ceremony for retiring professors at my university, each retiree got an opportunity to make a short speech. In my own speech, I mentioned that my last few years coincided with the Covid panic. Far more than the disease itself, what shocked me was the worldwide mass mind that sprang into existence seemingly overnight.

All over the world, suddenly people were subjected to all-encompassing propaganda and pressures to conform to the same Covid policies. In contrast, a university should be a place to protect and encourage individual thinking, I maintained.

Aside from the Covid phenomenon, in recent years I have often observed the tendency for novel ideas to spread rapidly around the world and quickly become established orthodoxy that precludes debate and criticism. This amounts to a kind of toxic global conformism.

“Toxic conformism” can be defined as aggressively promoted compliance with evil and/or harmful behavior in order to remain in good standing with others. In response to Covid, the universal, rapid implementation of toxic conformity may be unique in history. Continue...

Hayman Capital Management founder and CIO Kyle Bass explained in a Bloomberg interview that the mounting backlash against environmental, social, and governance investing in recent years is primarily a response to the extreme demands of radical climate activists, or "green" defenders. Bass argued that these activists were so disconnected from reality that their uncompromising stance on blackballing the fossil fuel industry—without acknowledging that energy transitions can take upwards of half a century—has fueled the backlash. He said plans to moderate fossil fuel usage over decades from the start would've possibly prevented the backlash.

Bass said the ESG backlash derives from climate activists' demands that fossil fuels be abandoned immediately. He said the demands were never realistic. Continue...

B.C. Premier David Eby has ordered a review of drug vending machines dispensing free drug paraphernalia outside several hospitals in the province.

Speaking at an unrelated news conference on Tuesday, Eby said he had ordered Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Jennifer Whiteside, to review any drug distribution methods that don’t involve direct contact between the provider and recipient.

“I think that where there are concerns that have been raised, it’s about access to different types of paraphernalia that is disconnected from contacting a medical health professional or a trained person working in a facility that can provide that support,” said Eby. “And that’s what I’ve asked the Minister of Mental Health and Addiction to have a look at, to make sure that we’re meeting that expectation that I have and that I think every British Columbian has.”

The premier added that the review would also include the Fraser Health Authority, which had been delivering drug supplies such as pipes, smoking kits, and syringes to British Columbians’ doors free of charge.

In an alarming display of judicial overreach and moral misjudgment, an Alberta justice has convicted Pastor Derek Reimer of "criminal harassment" for his vocal opposition to drag queen events. These exploitative drag queen events target babies and young children, introducing them to sexual content, grooming them to take part in explicit LGBTQ activities, and getting them used to the idea that they can be any gender they want to outwardly express.

Pastor Reimer recently protested against a perverted drag queen event at a public library called "Burlesque for Babies."

Giorgia Meloni’s strategy and the opposition’s criticism of her efforts to control illegal immigration in Italy have become a major story in Europe. Recently, the Italian authorities blocked the NGO ship ‘Geo Barents’ from operating for 60 days for violating the Italian law after bringing 191 migrants to shore. Continue...

Deeply Unpopular Chancellor Scholz Orders Globalist Parties To Isolate AfD After Right Wing Party’s Historical Electoral Victories in Eastern Germany

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/deeply-unpopular-chancellor-scholz-orders-globalist-parties-isolate/

While Olaf Scholz, the most unpopular German Chancellor of the last decades, has sent tens of billions of Euros to finance the Ukrainian military government – which if rife with self-identifying Azov Nazis – he nevertheless feels like it’s fair game to smear the Euroskeptic and anti-Globalist right-wingers of the AfD as ‘Nazis’ any chance he gets.

He is, of course, not alone in this deceptive play of words.

Now that the AfD has scored historic electoral results in Sunday’s Eastern Germany’s polls, he has to play the ‘extremist card’ once again against the victors.

He is now demanding that ‘mainstream’ (a.k.a. Globalist) parties avoid working with the ‘right-wing extremists’ from Alternative for Germany’s.

AfD, as one would expect, is insisting to be included in state coalition talks after securing 32.8 per cent of Sunday’s vote in Thuringia.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/brazilian-confusion-hefty-fines-accessing-social-media-platform/

Brazil, thy name is confusion.

There is a saying here in the ‘tropical country’ that says: ‘Brazil is for professionals‘.

Being born and raised here, we are used to a maze of bureaucracy and a general lack of clarity in all public matters.

Following the blocking of the social platform X in Brazil, a question that was raised by freedom lovers worldwide was the usage of VPN’s by Brazilian users to bypass this spurious prohibition.

This was highly anticipated by our Supreme Court overlords, who decided in a first moment to prohibit the usage of VPN, as well as instituting a 50k reals (over $9k) fine for using VPNs to access X.

This decision was later partially reformed, and that’s where the confusion started. Continue...

China retaliates against EV tariffs with anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola exports

https://tnc.news/2024/09/03/china-retaliates-against-ev-tariffs/

China is launching an anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola imports in response to tariffs recently imposed on imports of Chinese electric vehicles, steel, aluminum and other related components last week.

The Chinese commerce ministry said in a statement released on Tuesday that Canadian canola exports, also called rapeseed, had been steadily increasing in recent years, up 170% on a year-on-year basis resulting in a “continuous decline in prices.”

China claims this was evidence of potential dumping behaviour, causing imports to cost less compared to the price on the domestic market, hurting local producers.

“Affected by unfair competition from the Canadian side, China’s domestic rapeseed-related industries continue to lose money,” it said.

The statement made it clear that the investigation was in retaliation for Ottawa’s EV tariffs, calling them “discriminatory unilateral restrictive measures.”

The communist regime went on to say that it would be taking the case to the World Trade Organization. Continue...

Staffing shortages led to five B.C. emergency rooms being closed over the long weekend

https://tnc.news/2024/09/03/staffing-shortages-bc-emergency-rooms-closed/

Five B.C. hospital emergency rooms were closed during the long weekend due to being short staffed, according to several news releases which cited “limited physician availability.”

The Interior Health Authority announced that the emergency rooms at 100 Mile District, Nicola Valley, Lillooet, Cariboo Memorial and South Okanagan hospitals were all closed as a result of the staffing shortage, however, most have since reopened.

The closures follow a growing trend for B.C. hospitals that William Lake Coun. Scott Nelson has called a “worrisome” situation.

“Instead of [the Interior Health] posting when they’re closing, how about they just post when they’re open,” Nelson told CBC News over the long weekend.

Emergency room closures at both 100 Mile House and Williams Lake forced residents to have to travel to neighbouring communities for help, according to Nelson.

“There are 10 to 15,000 people that don’t have a doctor [in our region], so they rely on the emergency department for services,” he said. Continue...

We’ve seen him change his defense minister, bringing Rustem Umerov, change his beloved by the troops Commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny with Oleksandr Syrsky, and now a bigger shakeup is in the making.

Not even Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, who is one of Ukraine’s most famous faces on the international stage, was safe from the changes.

At least 12 migrants, including several children and a pregnant woman, have died while attempting to illegally reach the United Kingdom by boat. Several others are missing.

While millions of migrants storm the U.S. southern border, many also try their luck attempting to reach the United Kingdom where they know the ruling socialist government will pay for their lifestyle.

Yet while the British government enable their arrival, many migrants employ human traffickers in order to travel across the English Channel in precarious conditions with a high risk to life.

Elon Musk’s internet service, Starlink, has announced that it will comply with a Brazil Supreme Court order to shut down X while vowing to pursue “all legal avenues” to allow the recently banned Musk-owned social media platform to operate in Brazil.

The move, announced by Starlink in a statement on Sept. 3, marks an apparent reversal after the country’s telecommunications regulator previously said that the satellite-based internet provider stated that it wouldn’t agree to block the social media platform.

Starlink said it would abide by an order from Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes requiring internet service providers and app stores to block X from their platforms.

“Regardless of the illegal treatment of Starlink in freezing our assets, we are complying with the order to block access to X in Brazil,” Starlink’s statement said.

The board of Ukraine’s national power grid operator, Ukrenergo, has removed the company’s CEO Volodymyr Kudrytskyi in the wake of the current national state of emergency which has seen whole regions face frequent power outages and rolling blackouts. This was also prompted at the personal request of President Zelensky.

Ukrainian media has indicated that the move to ouster Kudrytskyi began in the wake of the massive Aug.26 drone and missile attack from Russia, the largest of the war, which primarily targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

The resultant mass electricity supply disruptions across the country raised questions over preparedness, specifically concerning incomplete protective structures around Ukrenergo power facilities. This lack of preparedness reportedly ensured the worst possible outcome in terms of the blackouts afflicting Ukrainians. But Kudrytskyi and his defenders say this is a witch-hunt long in the plotting. Continue...

Poland's foreign minister has sparked fresh controversy and intense discussion within the NATO military alliance by saying that member states have a 'duty' to shoot down incoming Russian missiles when they are in Ukraine's skies threatening the population below.

"Membership in Nato does not trump each country’s responsibility for the protection of its own airspace – it’s our own constitutional duty," Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski told the Financial Times. The comments appeared to shirk off the possibility that such action risks major escalation with Russia.

"I’m personally of the view that, when hostile missiles are on course of entering our airspace, it would be legitimate self-defense [to strike them] because once they do cross into our airspace, the risk of debris injuring someone is significant," the Polish top diplomat said. Continue...

Finland Unveils World's First Deep-Earth Repository To Bury Nuclear Waste

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/finland-unveils-worlds-first-deep-earth-repository-bury-nuclear-waste

* Currently, there are thousands of metric tons of used solid fuel from nuclear power plants worldwide and millions of liters of radioactive liquid waste from weapons production sitting in temporary storage containers.

* Finland has built the world’s first deep-earth repository where it will bury nuclear waste for 100,000 years starting 2026.

* About a dozen European countries, including Finland and Switzerland, are planning deep geological repositories for their nuclear waste.

For decades, nuclear energy has been treated as the black sheep of the energy universe thanks to major drawbacks including high costs, high-profile nuclear accidents and hazardous by-products of nuclear energy production. Currently, there are thousands of metric tons of used solid fuel from nuclear power plants worldwide and millions of liters of radioactive liquid waste from weapons production sitting in temporary storage containers, some of which have begun leaking their toxic contents. Nuclear waste is notorious for the fact that it can remain dangerously radioactive for many thousands of years. Thankfully, the world has just come closer to finding a permanent solution to its nuclear menace: Finland has built the world’s first deep-earth repository where it will bury nuclear waste for 100,000 years starting 2026.

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/fda-authorizes-new-covid-19-vaccine-without-clinical-data

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized a new COVID-19 vaccine from Novavax, giving Americans an alternative to shots from Moderna and Pfizer.

Novavax’s protein-based vaccine will be available soon after regulators granted emergency authorization to the Maryland-based company for the product.

FDA officials said that animal testing data supported the decision.

“Today’s authorization provides an additional COVID-19 vaccine option that meets the FDA’s standards for safety, effectiveness and manufacturing quality needed to support emergency use authorization,” Dr. Peter Marks, who directs the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said in an Aug. 30 statement.

The FDA cleared vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer that are built on messenger ribonucleic acid technology (mRNA) earlier in the month.

Critics say that the agency should not be making an assertion about safety and effectiveness in the absence of clinical trial data.

“The assertion rings hollow when FDA has not required manufacturers of the mRNA biological [products] to provide scientific evidence to the public that safety and effectiveness has been demonstrated,” Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center, told The Epoch Times previously via email.

Novavax President and CEO John C. Jacobs said in a statement that the company’s vaccine showed “robust cross-reactivity against JN.1 lineage viruses” in animals. Continue...

Alberta sees decline in opioid-related deaths, reaching pre-pandemic levels for first time

https://tnc.news/2024/09/04/alberta-decline-opioid-related-deaths/

Opioid deaths in Alberta have reached their lowest level since before the pandemic, according to the province’s most recently released data on opioid-related fatalities in May.

In May, 18.4 Albertans per 100,000 people lost their lives to opioid use across the province. A lower rate was not seen since Feb. 2020, when 11.4 Albertans per 100,000 died from opioid poisoning. The World Health Organization declared the pandemic on Mar. 11, 2020.

In total, 72 Albertans died from opioid use in May 2024. Feb. 2020 saw 42 Albertans die from opioid use, spiking to 71 in Mar. 2020, 80 in Apr. 2020, and 128 in May 2020. The number of total deaths in the province did not fall below 100 in any month between May 2020 and Mar. 2024.

A spokesperson for Alberta’s Minister of Mental Health and Addiction said that Alberta has taken steps to engage with communities to assess the impact of drug consumption sites throughout the province.

“This is what led Alberta to be the first jurisdiction in Canada to establish recovery-oriented standards for drug consumption sites, making them much more accountable to government and community. There is ongoing work to ensure that wherever these services are, the community is protected,” said the spokesperson. Continue...

Ontario school calls child protective services after parents object to secret gender transition of daughter

https://thepostmillennial.com/ontario-school-calls-child-protective-services-after-parents-object-to-secret-gender-transition-of-daughter

An Ontario school hid a student’s gender transition from her parents and when they found out and objected, the school brought the wrath of the Children’s Aid Society down on them, the National Post reported.

Julie (at 10 years old) first began to question her gender identity during the Covid pandemic, when she was isolated from other students, doing classes online and spending a lot of time on social media, especially TikTok, where she “discovered the LGBTQ+ community.”

“At first, it was only my sexuality: pansexual, lesbian, maybe bi?” the girl later revealed in a personal essay. She became more engrossed in the online material and agreed that she was feeling “anxious and uncomfortable” about her body and it prompted her to question her gender.

“Transgender activists were actively posting videos about ‘safe’ breast binding and how euphoric testosterone makes you feel and how it makes all your problems suddenly disappear. The more I was brainwashed by these videos, the more I started to resonate with them,” she wrote.

Julie started to privately identify as non-binary in 2021, as she began grade 5. She announced her decision to her class early in 2022.

A teacher at the York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) assisted in her “transition” and ensured that her parents were never informed about her choice of “they/them” pronouns and a different, male name that she answered to in the classroom. When the parents demanded to be at least included in the discussion, the school called the Children’s Aid Society (CAS), which immediately began harassing the parents.

In December 2023, Julie detransitioned after the revelation that she had been subsumed by the gender ideology hype and was discouraged from examining her anxiety from the perspective of mental health. But her parents have been warning other families that schools assume they have the right to overrule and ignore parents and then call in the authorities to punish them when they demand the rights of parents.

Two men named as '8 incredible Canadian women' by woke ELLE magazine

https://thepostmillennial.com/two-men-named-as-8-incredible-canadian-women-by-woke-elle-magazine

ELLE Magazine has come under fire after the publication included two trans-identifying biological men in a recent piece honoring a select few "8 Incredible Canadian Women." The article also featured former Ontario NDP MP Sarah Jama, a leftist who was ousted from Parliament in October after denying the Palestinian Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, which generated additional outrage. While Jama was removed, the number reduced to 7, and the headline changed, the trans-identified males remained listed as not only women but incredible ones at that.

The magazine has since made considerable changes to the original feature titled, "8 Incredible Canadian Women," after claiming to have received "a number of concerning messages," which were posted online and allegedly emailed to the publication. ELLE Magazine amended the headline to remove the term "women," despite the article's original goal of spotlighting females who they allege are "paving the way" for future generations. It's now titled "These Incredible Canadians Have Broken The Glass Ceiling."

"This original article represents the opinions of a political personality but does not reflect the opinions of the publishers of ELLE Canada and its parent company, KO Media or any other ELLE affiliates," the magazine wrote in a disclaimer at the top of the article.

A Church Burns Down Every Two Weeks In France

https://www.truth11.com/in-france-one-mosque-is-built-every-15-days-while-one-christian-building-is-destroyed-at-the-same-pace/

A church burns down every two weeks in France, President of the French based Observatory of Religious Heritage Edouard de Lamaze told the French site 76actu in 2021.

Lamaze explained many of the churches are not properly maintained and weakened over time. He said it is the responsibility of local authorities to care for churches, while the state is responsible for the maintenance of monuments and cathedrals.

Two-thirds of religious building fires, however, are caused by arson, Lamaze told the Catholic News Agency that same year. He stated that in France, one mosque is built every 15 days while “One Christian building is destroyed at the same pace.”🚨UPDATE #ARSON: A man was taken into police custody today after a huge fire largely destroyed the 19th century Church of the Immaculate Conception in #SaintOmer, northern #France.

Casino footage and hotel records indicate the former Canadian police officer charged with working for China gathered with senior mafia figures in Macau

It’s an unprecedented glimpse into the glittering world of China’s paramount narcos and money launderers, inside a star-studded suite in Macau where billionaire criminals with complicated ties to Beijing wager tens of millions on high-stakes table games.

Documents reviewed by The Bureau show that in February 2019, Macau casino “Junket King” Alvin Chau Cheok Wa rented rooms in the Conrad, a palatial hotel within the Sands China complex, reputed for hosting opulent VIP events where Hong Kong’s tycoons and movie stars sometimes treat gambling as a spectator sport, evoking a blend between ballroom dancing and the Kentucky Derby.

The records indicate that Alvin Chau’s company Suncity paid all “VIP service” and hotel costs for himself and his guests, including a “Mr. W. Majcher” and a “Mr. Xie Lap Chi.” Continue...

Volvo Becomes Latest Automaker to Slash EV Production Targets, Citing Falling Demand

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/volvo-becomes-latest-automaker-slash-ev-production-targets/

The Swedish car giant Volvo has become the latest automaker to scrap their electric vehicle (EV) production targets, citing a decerase in overall demand.

In a statement on Wednesday, company CEO Jim Rown admitted that customers are not ready to switch just yet and that many still prefer gas or diesel powered vehicles.

“We are resolute in our belief that our future is electric,” he said. “However, it is clear that the transition to electrification will not be linear, and customers and markets are moving at different speeds of adoption.”

The company, which is majority-owned by China’s Geely Holding, is also bracing for the effects of European tariffs on electric cars made in China.

The decision to scale back its ambitions comes three years after they announced plans to go fully electric by 2030. Instead, they are now aiming for between 90 to 100 percent of sales o be fully electric or plug-in hybrid models by the end of the decade. Continue...

Germany's AfD Party Calls For End To Mail-In Ballots, Launches Probe Into Suspicious Software Error

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/germanys-afd-party-calls-end-mail-ballots-launches-probe-suspicious-software-error

Although the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party secured a first-place finish in the Saxony elections on Sunday, the party is still launching an investigation into an alleged computer error that cost them a seat in parliament and is also calling for an end to mail-in votes, citing security concerns and shady practices.

The first issue is the alleged software glitch that resulted in the AfD and the Christian Democrats (CDU) both losing a seat, while the Greens and Social Democrats (SPD) both gained one seat. The party says that it is launching an investigation into this.

“We want to know exactly what went wrong,” said the AfD’s state and parliamentary group leader Jörg Urban in a statement. He is demanding an exact error analysis. “If there are any irregularities, we will take legal action.”

Notably, the loss of one seat resulted in the AfD losing its blocking majority, which would have allowed the party, for example, to block the appointment of certain judges in the state. Continue...

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukraine-taps-former-ambassador-andrii-sybiha-foreign-minister

On Wednesday Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced his resignation amid an ongoing major Zelensky shake-up of his cabinet - which the biggest of the war - and has involved at least seven top officials and ministers being forced out in a 'reboot' aimed at staving off defeat amid the Russian invasion.

The following day Ukraine’s parliament voted to appoint Andrii Sybiha as the country's top diplomat. He will now be the international face representing Kiev to countries abroad, just as Kuleba was for two-and-a-half years of war. Continue...

Poland Scrambles Fighter Jets As Russia Strikes Far Western Ukraine

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/poland-scrambles-fighter-jets-russia-strikes-far-western-ukraine

Another overnight Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine included major strikes on the far western city of Lviv, which lies hundreds of miles from the front lines, which resulted in seven people killed, according to Ukrainian authorities.

These stepped-up strikes are widely viewed as retaliation for Kiev forces' ongoing Kursk cross-border offensive. But given that missiles rained down so close in proximity to Ukraine's border with Poland, Polish aerial forces were scrambled during the attack.

Reuters reports that Polish and allied aircraft were scrambled for the third time in eight days to closely monitor the inbound projectiles, and were ready to intercept them in the event the missiles approached Polish airspace. Continue...

LGBTQ activists want Trudeau to step down, fearing Poilievre win

https://tnc.news/2024/09/05/lgbtq-activists-trudeau-step-down/

LGBTQ activists are calling for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down from running in the next federal election, claiming that his lack of support is putting their community at risk.

Group advocates argue that the Conservatives’ commanding lead in the polls will likely see Pierre Poilievre elected the new prime minister after the next election, slated for October 2025 which they claim would be dangerous for the LGBTQ community.

Executive director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Queer Research Initiative Sarah Worthman said that she’s worried about what potential harm a Conservative government could cause for LGBTQ Canadians.

She noted Poilievre’s stance on puberty blockers for minors and comments he made that “female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males.”

Worthman said the Liberals would fare better in an election against the Conservatives if Trudeau was not leading the charge, however, she did not endorse an alternative candidate, reported the Canadian Press. Continue...
