The’s a parallel between the Chief Public Health Officer’s unwillingness to call fentanyl dangerous, and the antivax dogma of the conspiratorial right. Both subordinate medical science to political dogma. In the case of @jossreimer, she can’t call fentanyl consumption dangerous because doing so would violate discredited harm reduction dogma which dictates that recreational narcotic use must be “destigmatized.” In the case of @TheoFleury14 et al, vaccines are dangerous & ineffective because antivax dogma dictates that vaccines are the product of a malicious conspiracy between scientific, political, & commercial elites. In both cases, scientific evidence and public health are subordinated to ideology. It’s horseshoe theory applied to public health. Both tendencies are bad, but IMO the failure of @jossreimer & other “harm reduction” fanatics in the public health field to tell the truth about recreational narcotic use is more dangerous. Doing so undermines public confidence in the reliability of public health “experts,” including on the safety & efficacy of vaccines.

@jkenney Apparently so was the vaccine 💉 unsafe and highly ineffective and very dangerous.

Column: Al-Quds Day shows how Canada tolerates intolerance Once a society tolerates intolerance, it’s impossible to contain it, even if our governments had the political will to do so torontosun.com/opinion/column…

We don't allow cigarette ads on TV for a reason. I think we need to get just as serious about banning or heavily restricting these gambling ads. We are letting a whole generation get hunted by predatory apps.

To all freedom defenders out there, those who thinks freedom, free speech free press matter and worth everything to defend it “Yes, I do have fear.” Jimmy Lai’s last interview before his arrest. - Freedom is never free in fact it’s quite the contrary and here’s a living proof. @SupportJimmyLai

This is a very good analysis of why engagement w China as a “strategic partner” is misguided. Very well explained.
Sandra Watson Parcels@swatsonparcels

Carney’s proposed “strategic partnership” with China represents a fundamental misreading of the current security environment. This isn’t about trade protectionism; it’s about recognising asymmetric competition that’s been underway for decades. At Davos, Carney framed this as a trade diversification issue without acknowledging that China has been the primary revisionist actor actively eroding the liberal international order (LIO) That omission is telling. China’s soft power strategy (economic coercion, elite capture, infrastructure dependencies) has systematically undermined this order while Western states pursued engagement policies based on false assumptions of convergence. The Biden admin and allies finally began countermeasures: reshoring critical supply chains, technology controls, alliance reinforcement. But they’re playing catch-up against decades of Chinese strategic positioning. Time asymmetry matters in great power competition. Trump’s more confrontational approach, whatever its flaws, reflects the urgency of this moment. The window for preserving Western strategic advantage is narrowing. US hegemonic stability, for all its imperfections, underwrites Canadian security and prosperity. Carney’s positioning reads like reactive spite rather than strategic calculation. Alienating your primary security guarantor over a trade dispute isn’t statecraft. It’s dangerous and short-sighted, conflating economic opportunity with strategic alignment. To be clear: selective economic engagement with China, with robust safeguards (tech transfer controls, critical infrastructure exclusions, supply chain resilience) is rational policy. A “strategic partnership”? That’s something entirely different. The question isn’t whether Canada trades with China. It’s whether we understand the difference between transactional commerce and strategic partnership with a revisionist power. #Canada #China #Davos26

China is looking for trading partners that “don’t use energy for coercion,” Minister Hodgson says. Yet China itself has repeatedly used economic coercion—far beyond the energy sector, for example targeting Canadian canola oil and seafood products.

Carney's 1st day in China secures agreements on energy — but no tariff breakthrough yet. Beijing does not commit to buying more Canadian petroleum and liquified natural gas, @AshleyBurkeCBC reports cbc.ca/news/politics/… Find out more at nationalnewswatch.com

You are wrong, Sir. Hard to forget that in 2008, China’s melamine scandal poisoned thousands of infants. Yet years later, we allowed a Chinese firm to process supply-managed milk here at home. In effect, we handed control of a critical segment of our baby-formula food chain to foreign interests—right in our own backyard. This isn’t just an EV issue. It’s worse. It’s food security.

BC has 53 cities. So let's imagine that 8 of them (and not even the biggest ones) endorse a group called B.C. Cities ... and then Mark Carney meets with them and claims that he just consulted with "B.C. cities." That's what just happened with Coastal First Nations.
Tristin Hopper@TristinHopper

Said environmentalist group's ties to actual First Nations is that eight nations have members on its board of directors. How many actual First Nations are on the B.C. coast? Look for yourself: It's about 100. governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappvie…

How about we call him Dictator Maduro instead of President Maduro. He took the President title, he wasn't given it by the Venezuelan people.

What a wonderful surprise from Britain after His Majesty's Christmas address -- a Ukrainian folk choir performing the world-famous Ukrainian melody “Shchedryk” (Carol of the Bells) with the Royal Opera Chorus. Now that is what I call the global heritage of the thousand-year-old Ukrainian nation, preserved in its folk carols! Thank you, Britain! 🇺🇦🤝🇬🇧 youtu.be/JEskhxiKIfU

My favourite #Christmas carol Listen to the words carefully - especially in the third verse. "Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suf­fered long; Beneath the an­gel strain have rolled two thou­sand years of wrong; And man, at war with man, hears not the love-song which they bring; O hush the noise, ye men of strife and hear the an­gels sing." I pray for the people of #Myanmar, #Ukraine, #Sudan, #Gaza and #Israel, #NorthKorea, #China, #Taiwan and many other parts of the world, that the "men of strife" (the military junta, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and other dictators, tyrants and terrorists) would "hush the noise" and "hear the angels sing" --- It came upon the mid­night clear, That glo­ri­ous song of old, From an­gels bend­ing near the earth, To touch their harps of gold; Peace on the earth, good will to men, From Heav­en’s all gra­cious king. The world in so­lemn still­ness lay, To hear the an­gels sing. Still through the clov­en skies they come With peace­ful wings un­furled, And still their heav­en­ly mu­sic floats O’er all the wea­ry world; Above its sad and low­ly plains, They bend on hov­er­ing wing, And ev­er ov­er its Ba­bel sounds The bless­èd an­gels sing. Yet with the woes of sin and strife The world has suf­fered long; Beneath the an­gel strain have rolled Two thou­sand years of wrong; And man, at war with man, hears not The love-song which they bring; O hush the noise, ye men of strife And hear the an­gels sing. And ye, be­neath life’s crush­ing load, Whose forms are bend­ing low, Who toil along the climb­ing way With pain­ful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and gold­en hours Come swift­ly on the wing. O rest be­side the wea­ry road, And hear the an­gels sing! For lo! the days are hast­en­ing on, By pro­phet-bards fore­told, When with the ev­er circ­ling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall ov­er all the earth Its an­cient splen­dors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the an­gels sing. youtube.com/watch?v=OLombz…

NEW FROM ME: Long before the Bondi massacre, Israel’s deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel warned Australia’s rising extremism would lead to tragedy. Now she’s issuing the same warning to Canada, as anti-Jewish radicalism here spirals out of control torontosun.com/news/national/…
