The Doctor Will Diversify You Now

As if Canada’s single payer system were not plagued by enough problems as it is, our medical schools are happily wasting their students’ time with every manner of woke propaganda.

“I always used to think that physicians are critical thinkers,” my source laments. “I now recognize we are not critical thinkers; we don’t train critical thinking. We like head-nodders and rule-followers.” It transpires that admissions interviews are now so peppered with the word “intersection” that it’s hard not to feel nauseous, but in fairness, eager students are simply box-checking and are not themselves to blame.

“Do we need three hours on decolonization?” But the professors were told this was a sacred subject, and the university forbade any discussion because, my source says, “It was outside our teaching expertise. … Nobody was allowed to question the invited speaker. Everything was racist.”

Because we want rid of him, Blackface Boy-man will burn everything you’ve worked for to the ground.

Home prices are unsustainable and have normalized a “massive increase in value” for retirees, says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He made the remarks at a private seminar with Canada’s leading advocates of a home equity tax: ‘It’s not like your grandparents saying, ‘Ah, bread used to cost me a nickel.’

Related: The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board put more than $600 million in China’s electric vehicle sector accused by cabinet of unfair trade practices. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland blamed Chinese industry for job-killing schemes, telling Canadian workers: “We are going to protect you.”

Montreal Gazette- Organizer cancels Canada Day parade in Montreal

Nicholas Cohen said the decision was made after he found it increasingly difficult to obtain the needed permits and funding from different government authorities over the past year.

“Cowen was faced with rules that changed at the last minute and requests that made organizing the parade virtually impossible,” it said in the news release.

Is there anything more frustrating than some court economist declaring that we face serious economic problems but the causes are just a bewildering puzzle that largely defy explanation? Just for starters, Tiff need look no further than the current federal government’s open hostility towards investors.

At the conference, Macklem said the central bank expected productivity growth to pick up coming out of the pandemic as companies found the workers they wanted to hire and the supply chain started to normalize.

“It hasn’t happened,” he said. “That’s why we made such a stark statement.”

The solutions are apparent — more investment in machinery, equipment, information technology, etc. — but Macklem said the tougher question is why that isn’t happening.

“There are some puzzles there,” he said. “We have all the ingredients; we have got to cut through obstacles.”

Blacklocks- Paid $233K For Ghostwriters

“How much did the Government of Canada pay to publish news written by government employees?” Records showed the Revenue Agency paid as much as $1,000 apiece to distribute faked news stories.

The ghostwritten articles meet the federal definition of fake news. The Department of Canadian Heritage in a 2017 Memorandum To The Minister described fake news as “state-sponsored” content.

In Manitoba the NDP are now firmly in control of the agenda.

The Blackrod- New stats show the NDP’s hard left-wing health decree increased suffering

The data shows that in the first six months of the NDP in power, there were 263 fewer hip-and-knee surgeries in Manitoba compared to the last six months of the Conservative Party. And that’s in addition to hundreds of hip-and-knee surgeries that could have been done if the NDP hadn’t banned sending patients to private clinics in the U.S. or other provinces.

To make matters worse, the median wait time for surgery in Manitoba jumped from six-and-a-half months to eight months.

The Blackrod- I Quit, said one of Mb’s top doctors; A brutal assessment of the NDP’s 6 months in office

“I have been a physician for over 40 years. I started out as a clinician and researcher and gradually moved into academic and health system leadership positions. I was privileged to work first in my home country (Switzerland) interrupted by a couple of years in the U.S. (University of California, San Francisco), and since 2004 I have worked in Canada, including in Toronto, where I was the director of the liver transplant program at the University Health Network, one of the largest health systems in Canada.”

“I saw a lot of health system dysfunction (in his career). However, none of it reached the extent of dysfunction that is present currently in healthcare in Manitoba.” he wrote.

The Hub- The vaccine mandates have proved to be one of the enduring legacies of the COVID-19 pandemic

A few years on, vaccine mandates have proved to be one of the enduring legacies of the pandemic. In British Columbia, they remain in place for health-care workers. The persistence of mandates is a reminder of the inertia of regulation: new powers, once wielded, tend not to be voluntarily retracted.

Be a shame if something were to happen to it.

National Post- Canadian, 93, wanted to give her kids a gift. Instead she got slapped with $40K in capital gains tax bill

The two lots were appraised at $125,000 and $145,000, totalling $270,000, leaving Diachun with a tax bill of about $40,000, an amount she said she cannot pay.

“I’m on pension. How am I going to pay for that?” said Diachun. “I’m not one of the wealthy. I’m 93 years old. Who is going to give me a mortgage? Who is going to give me a loan?”

“Fairness for every generation.”

Blacklocks- Commons To Pass Labour Bill

The Commons today is expected to pass a ban on federally regulated employers’ use of replacement workers in case of strike or lockout.

Bill C-58 An Act To Amend The Canada Labour Code would restrict federally regulated employers like airlines, banks and telecom companies from using replacement workers in strikes or lockouts under threat of $100,000-per day fines. A clause of the bill delays enforcement one year from final passage in Parliament.

No Conservative MP spoke against the bill or opposed it in Second or Third Reading.

I know it works out to $170,000 per job, but they’re “green” jobs, right?

Interesting to see that even the CBC is questioning the wisdom of the idea that no price is too high when it comes to reducing a carbon footprint.

One economics professor tweeted he was “legit astonished” by the investment in Italpasta.

“Do they not understand just how insane this is? That spending north of $170k for *one job* is an embarrassment, not an achievement?” wrote Stephen Gordon of Laval University.

“There is really no underlying economic rationale,” said Robert Gillezeau, assistant professor of economics at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. “I think those spends are more about politics than they are about economic development.”

A Message For the CPC

Here’s an interesting juxtaposition: a former Liberal MP condemns the ruinously expensive central planning scheme that the Conservative party slavishly supports. We’ve now arrived at the point where around one quarter of one percent of the population will hold an effective veto over trade negotiations affecting the rest of the country.

“The dairy lobby is the National Rifle Association of Canada,” proclaims Martha Hall Findlay, former Liberal MP and now head of the University of Calgary’s school of public policy.

“The one potential positive of Bill-282 is, it is so over the top that it will backfire and it will finally be the time when enough people in this country realize we have to deal with this,” declares Martha.

And “it is so egregious,” she argues, other countries will realize what we’re doing, pointing to the U.K.’s recent withdrawal from trade talks with Canada in large measure over their lack of access to our supply-managed markets, with cheese featuring large. The U.K. is Canada’s third largest trading partner.

It would have been interesting to see how this judge would have ruled had he been asked for an injunction against the Ottawa trucker protest two years ago. My guess is that he would have meted out a harsh punishment for such counter-revolutionary activity.

A Quebec Superior Court judge has rejected a provisional injunction request by McGill University to remove pro-Palestinian encampment activists from its front lawn in downtown Montreal.

St-Pierre opened his ruling by saying that the injunction request comes amid a wave of pro-Palestinian encampments on university campuses across North America connected to the events in the Gaza Strip, where “dozens of thousands of Palestinians are dead, injured or displaced by the Israeli army.”

Peter Menzies- Hey, feds, how are those broadcasting reforms going?

In summary, one year after the act was passed, the CRTC has incurred one related court appeal, dropped two proceedings, added five more and still hasn’t published any decisions from the three-week marathon hearing held last November and December.

No one outside the CRTC knows for sure why the brakes have been so firmly applied to what appeared to be a hell-bent-for-leather process. But it is probably the fact that they now must grapple with the consequences of their decision to treat the internet like traditional broadcasting. Those are many, but among them is that any actions taken by the CRTC are likely to increase costs and reduce choices for consumers.

Blacklocks- Weary Of ArriveCan Scrutiny

The lone New Democrat on the Commons public accounts committee complains MPs are having too many meetings investigating the $59.5 million ArriveCan program. “I am getting more concerned about the cost to taxpayers that these surprise meetings are having,” said MP Blake Desjarlais (Edmonton Griesbach).

The Commons public accounts committee is mandated to scrutinize federal waste. The committee last year spent a total $13,541 on 44 meetings according to a Committee Activities And Expenditures report.

The committee last year met a total 83 hours, heard testimony from 237 witnesses and published 17 reports. Costs do not include salary for MPs, clerks, translators and technicians who are paid regardless of whether the committee meets.
