CDC: OUR DEFINITION OF VACCINE IS PROBLEMATIC

The prior CDC Definitions of Vaccine and Vaccination (August 26, 2021):

Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.

The CDC Definitions of Vaccine and Vaccination since September 1, 2021:

Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.

TRUDEAU DECLARES WAR ON ALBERTA OIL

 If there was any doubt that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will pursue his climate goals at the expense of the Canadian economy, it was put to rest by his remarks at the COP26 conference in Glasgow on Monday, when he used the international forum to openly declare war on Alberta’s oil and gas industry.

“We’ll cap oil and gas sector emissions today and ensure they decrease tomorrow at a pace and scale needed to reach net-zero by 2050,” said Trudeau. While the prime minister admits this is “no small task for a major oil and gas producing country,” it’s also clear that he does not want the world to think of us as a burgeoning energy superpower.

QUEBEC GETS $13BILLION A YEAR IN EQUALIZATION PAYMENTS

 Quebec represents about 22 per cent of Canada’s population but gets 61 per cent of the equalization pot. As is often pointed out, it is not the biggest recipient on a per capita basis — Manitoba and three Atlantic provinces are ahead of it. But if Quebec was prosperous enough to be eliminated from the program, and the remaining pool of $8 billion was distributed to the four remaining “have-not” provinces, would equalization get nearly as much attention as it does among people looking for something to beef about?

WORKERS LEAVING HOME CARE JOBS IN DROVES

Nurses, personal support workers and therapists have left home care in droves during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We lost literally over 3,000 nurses and skilled therapists and personal support workers to other parts of the health-care system,” said Sue VanderBent, the CEO of Home Care Ontario, which represents home-care providers in the province.

Home care workers left their jobs for better pay in hospitals and long-term care homes, she said.

COP26: A GROTESQUE SPECTACLE

COP26 is gearing up to be a grotesque spectacle. We are about to witness Versailles levels of extravagance and hypocrisy. The rich, the powerful and the full of puffed-up virtue will gather in Glasgow to pontificate to the rest of us about how much we are harming the planet with all our waste and hubris. They’ll arrive in their private jets to bemoan the scourge of air-industry emissions. They’ll tuck in to five-star meals in between wondering out loud if the little people should eat less meat. They’ll rest their weary, virtuous heads on plump, silk pillows after long days of discussing how to rein in the material aspirations of the masses. It promises to be one of most nauseating displays of oligarchical conceit of recent times.

ALBERTA WORKERS LAUNCH HUMAN RIGHTS COMPLAINT

As deadlines loom for Albertans facing job losses for not complying with company-mandated vaccine policies, a human rights complaint has been filed by a group of Alberta Public Service (APS) and Alberta Health Services (AHS) employees.

The complaint was made Thursday to the director of the Alberta Human Rights Commission citing “attempted assault of APS employees and AHS employees.”

The complaint names Deputy Minister of Executive Council [the premier’s ministry] Ray Gilmore and AHS President and CEO Dr. Verna Yiu and cites a number of alleged violations of the Alberta Human Rights Act (AHRA) code of conduct.


The complaint also references the Freedom of Information and Protection Act (FOIP) and states “employees are under no legal obligation to disclose private protected medical information,” and charges that demands for disclosure of vaccinations status is unlawful.
