Sheila Gunn Reid looks at documents exclusively obtained by Rebel News showing how Veterans Affairs Canada attempted to hide a paper trail of evidence relating to caseworkers suggesting ailing veterans choose to access the Medical Assistance in Dying program.
Veterans Affairs Canada began using verbal updates to communications managers and bureaucrats to prevent leaving a paper trail amongst those handling the fallout of the scandal of department case workers who offered suffering and desperate veterans euthanasia instead of treatment.
And I have the documents to prove it.
Quick Dick McDick takes on the rail strike/lockout. Much truth ensues
Quick Dick McDick: Canada rail strike/lockout
What is the point of an economy if a few thousand people can shut down the entire economy??? Those are my words. Quick Dick’s are much harsher.

Wrongthink
I can think of a couple of issues besides plate tectonics where scientists have not lived up to the ideals mentioned. Can you?
One aspect of science, however, is a good model for our behavior, especially in times like these, when so many people seem to be sure that they are right and their opponents are wrong. It is the ability to say, “Wait—hold on. I might have been wrong.”
Not all scientists live up to this ideal, of course. But history offers admirable examples of scientists admitting they were wrong and changing their views in the face of new evidence and arguments. My favorite comes from the history of plate tectonics.
Hostage Situation
Harry Siemens- #railstrike
The Canadian rail strike has escalated to a full shutdown of both of Canada’s major freight railways, Canadian National Railway Co. (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. (CPKC), following a failure to reach a new contract agreement with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference before the midnight deadline on August 22, 2024. Here’s what’s happening:
Blacklock’s- Calls Rail Shutdown Sabotage
“It is totally unacceptable for us as a country to sabotage ourselves right now,” said Freeland. “We have been through a lot. We have made so much progress with our economy. Canadians from coast to coast to coast are depending on the employers, are depending on the union to get a deal done and to get it done with alacrity.”
“What kind of contingency plans does the government have?” asked a reporter. “Our plan is for the parties to listen to Canadians,” replied Freeland.
Trump Shooting: Lone Gunman
“Why does a 19-year-old kid who is a health care aid need encrypted platforms not even based in the United States, but based abroad – where most terrorist organizations know it is harder for our law enforcement to get into?” asked [Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.)]
“That’s a question I’ve had since day one,” the Republican panel member said, before pivoting to bash the US Secret Service and FBI for declining to release the full findings of their investigation into the July 13 shooting at a Trump rally.
“They need to be releasing information as they come across it, because this wasn’t an isolated incident. The threats are continual,” Waltz claimed, citing the alleged “sophisticated plot” by an Pakistani national who paid off purported hitmen to assassinate Trump and other US officials.

August 22, 2024: Reader Tips
Tonight, we present a treat from 1942: Glenn Miller – Orchestra Wives.
Your best news tips are always welcome here!
I’m finishing up 5 days in NYC, accompanying longtime friends from Vancouver. We were walking this evening and a mid-30’s fellow from Maine, who was here on business, joined into our conversation. The discussion turned to San Francisco, where I happened to work out of the past 10 years. I mentioned that the city fell apart during Covid so I left and have been working remotely ever since. I added that this was due to the city being badly mismanaged. Here’s what then transpired:
Him: So you’re a Republican?
Me: I’m Canadian.
Him: Oh that’s good, because there’s no way I could ever vote for Trump . . . blah, blah, blah.
Me: A lot of people in California are not big fans of Kamala.
Him: Well, at least you never elected a buffoon as a Prime Minister!
To say that I was shocked by the depths of inanity/stupidity/ignorance of this comment, would be understating my reaction by 1,000%.
Me: Sorry, but I’m not a fan of Trudeau. Have a good evening.
Skip The Expense
If the economy were as prosperous as we commonly hear, why is the marginal consumer acting like he or she is tapped out?
About 800 Canadian employees are being laid off by SkipTheDishes and its parent company.
Roughly 100 Canada-based workers will depart SkipTheDishes, the food delivery service’s chief executive Paul Burns revealed on LinkedIn on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, some 700 staff members who work for its owner Just Eat Takeaway.com will also lose their jobs, he added.

Embrace Hollywood!
“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.” – Michael Moore.
The Acolyte will not return for season two, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Lucasfilm has opted not to continue the Disney+ Star Wars series, which aired its season one finale last month.
The Leslye Headland-created show earned respectable reviews from critics, but was panned by audiences, with only 18 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The show was review-bombed from some quarters who perceived it as “woke,” with certain corners of the internet going after Headland, who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as the series’ diverse group of actors.
“Honestly, I feel sad that people would think that if something were gay, that that would be bad,” Headland told THR in June. “It makes me feel sad that a bunch of people on the internet would somehow dismantle what I consider to be the most important piece of art that I’ve ever made.”
Don’t Worry, It’s Transitory
Everything Is Fine
The day after the DNC endorsed amnesty for human traffickers, the DHS Inspector General confirms that Biden-Harris handed over ~320k unaccompanied alien children back to the traffickers. This is FAR WORSE than the 85k lost UAC previously reported by NYT.
The Inspector General confirms that these migrant children Biden-Harris facilitated being trafficked to the US are now trapped in sex trafficking & forced labor. There is NO plan to locate them & return to home country.
Y2Kyoto: State Of Anorexia Envirosa
In its monthly update on energy trends, Statistics Canada reported this week that this year, for the first time ever, Canada has become a net importer of electricity. The switchover in our electricity trade balance reveals the shortcomings of an energy strategy that now emphasizes decarbonization over energy security, leaving customers vulnerable to supply shortfalls and higher prices.
Asleep at the switch
There’s a lot going on in Saskatchewan’s lithium sector these days. I’ll have several stories soon. This is a rather significant one:
Apparently our federal government is asleep at the switch, because our economy is about to come crashing down on us and they’re in la-la land, allowing the entire rail sector to shut down in less than 24 hours.
In Quebec, it’s not just hydro electricity these days.
