Some Of The Most Absurd Things That Have Happened In Recent Weeks

  • The largest corporate welfare deal in Canadian history just went from bad to worse. After it was announced in April that Volkswagen would receive $14 billion (now $16 billion) to build an electric car plant, Chrysler’s parent company, Stellantis, threatened to stop building their plant and demanded the same deal. Cabinet just approved $15 billion to Stellantis, and an additional $2 billion to Volkswagen, amounting to more than $31 billion in corporate handouts for Ontario electric car plants in the past few months. For reference, $31 billion is the equivalent of giving a million dollars to every household in the Yukon Territory AND the Northwest Territories.
  • An explosive preprint study published in The Lancet (McCullough et al.) on July 6 titled “A Systematic Review of Autopsy Findings in Deaths after COVID19 Vaccination,” exposed direct statistical evidence of COVID-19 vaccinations being a direct cause of death, driving the excess mortality that we’ve witnessed since the government-pushed vaccination campaign. The results showed that, after surveying data from 325 autopsies in vaccinated people, “a total of 270 deaths (73.9%) were independently adjudicated as directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination” by the medical examiners of the cases. The review found that the primary organ system failure that caused death was the cardiovascular system (53% of cases). The study’s explosive findings ranked it as one of the most downloaded studies within 24 hours of publishing. After the paper began circulating widely online, The Lancet removed the study from its website, claiming the study’s conclusions lack evidence.
  • Health Canada claims COVID deaths would have surpassed WWIl casualties without lockdowns, and vaccine mandates without supplying any data to support their claim.

  • The supposed highest-ever temperature recorded in European history, 48°C, was a lie. In midJuly, it was widely reported by corporate media that Sicily was a record-breaking 48°C. In actuality, the temperature only reached 32°C. The media took the European Space Agency’s “ground surface temperature” and reported it as if the readings were taken as they normally are -2 meters above the ground.
  • The total cost of the federal government’s wasteful COVID spending — money either poorly targeted — will eclipse $110 billion by 2033, with $1 billion having already been wasted on expired vaccines, and $21.1 billion going towards high debt interest costs, a Fraser Institute study finds.
  • A charity that provides guidance to healthcare professionals is asking medics to refer to a vagina as a “bonus hole” or “front hole” to avoid upsetting transgender men. In a guide for healthcare professionals published online, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust suggests using these terms to avoid causing one without a vagina “to feel hurt or distressed.”
  • A Quebec school district spent over $1600 on a drag queen event with infamous children’s drag performer Barbada de Barbades. The Centre de Services Scolaire de la Capitale, which is responsible for Quebec City schools, paid the drag artist $1609.65 for a one-and-a-half-hour drag conference.
  • As of July 1, federal employees and their families are now eligible to receive a $75,000 grant for “genderaffirming” surgeries. This can include everything from hair removal to invasive gender reassignment surgeries, such as a vaginoplasty and phalloplasty.
  • Garnet Harper, a 35-year-old Ontario father of five, has died after multiple hospitals refused him a kidney transplant because he wasn’t vaccinated against Covid-19, and despite his family members offering to donate their own kidneys.
  • Bank of Canada officials earned $20 million in bonuses last year while hiking interest rates and failing their 2% inflation mandate. According to records obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, as inflation reached a 40-year high, 80% of the central bank’s workforce received at least one bonus for their supposed “job well done,” with each bureaucrat receiving an average of $11,200 in bonuses.
  • Governor General Mary Simon spent $71,000 of taxpayer money on limousine services (and $115,000 on hotels) during a four-day trip to Iceland with her husband and team of 6 in October 2022. This example of exuberant spending, obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation through an access to information request, is just the latest example of Simon billing taxpayers for her many expensive and lavish trips abroad to “promote Canadian culture and literature abroad.” A prior access to information request revealed that GG Simon had charged taxpayers $800,000 to go to Germany for a book fair, and $1.15 million on a trip to Dubai.
  • Court documents obtained during a defamation lawsuit have exposed the biased business of fact-checking. The agreement between the social media giant Meta and the site RMIT FactLab showed that Meta (Facebook) paid the fact-checking site the equivalent of $1052 CAD per article. This agreement, believed to be worth about half a million dollars annually, raises questions about the independence and motivations of the fact-checking organizations involved.
  • The Edmonton Heritage Festival Association publicly demonized Russian-Canadians and banned Russian culture from its festival. The board said that the decision was made due to “safety concerns” claiming that “Ukrainians feel” that “there shouldn’t be any Russian culture promotion here because this is the culture that brought up the generation of people who turned out to be invaders, looters, killers, rapers.
  • The CDC has published guidance on “chestfeeding — a term used to describe feeding an infant milk directly from the breast by trans and non-binary parents. The CDC blurred the lines between politics and science, failing their responsibility to disclose the lack of research and potential risks to babies. In the section titled “Health Equity Considerations,” the CDC claims “an individual does not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chestfeed” and can use “medication to induce lactation.” These drugs are “off-label” and the primary medication used to produce milk in biological men —the anti-nausea drug ‘domperidone’— has been linked to heart problems in babies.
  • In an effort to make all children feel equal, the BC government is abolishing letter grades for all public school students from Kindergarten to grade 9. In lieu of grading with letters A through F, a proficiency scale will assess students as “emerging,” “developing,” “proficient,” or “extending.”
  • CBC paints the new hit film “Sound of Freedom” as being “Xenophobic,” “Pro-Trump,” and “Pro-Life” despite the movie not touching on any of these topics. The movie is based on a true story of one man’s quest to save children from child traffickers.
  • The University of Guelph’s Department of Sociology and Anthropology is looking to hire a new assistant professor – but eligible applicants must “identify” as black or Indigenous.
  • In a disquieting discovery, the Brazilian Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is reportedly designed with a feature enabling the government to freeze user funds and adjust balances. The revelation emerged after a prominent blockchain developer and founder of Iora Labs, managed to decode the underlying technical details of the Brazilian CBDC.
  • The total number of federal employees in Canada now stands at 357,247 — nearly 40% higher than in 2015 when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was first elected. Between 2015 and 2022, federal executives received $1.3 billion in bonuses. The federal government does not publicize a “sunshine list” of employees making over $100,000 a year, but a report last summer by the Post put that number at 114,443. This included 39,000 six-figure jobs added in 2021 alone.
