#BREAKING The Trudeau government has voted against a Conservative motion to end Covid restrictions for travellers and revert to pre-pandemic rules. #cdnpoli

Pro-lockdown, zero-covid propaganda is apparently on the rise again via Twitter bots. It's hard to think of a more destructive public policy outside of war. Who is coordinating this nonsense?

2022: Canada has officially "arrived" on the world stage with China and Iran condemning @JustinTrudeau and Canada for gross human rights violations.

A free speech culture enhances trust in vaccines by bolstering confidence that if there's important information we will hear about it. My high trust in the vaccines is inextricable from my access to all viewpoints.

@PardyBruce provides a bracing evaluation of how the Charter actually operates under the current ideological premise that individual sovereignty must yield to the expertise and authority of officials acting in the name of public welfare https://t.co/pHtYZQ5iEB

I asked one protestor what she made of Trudeau characterizing the protests as not peaceful. She said why would parents bring kids to something that is not peaceful?

Canadian state emergency is too many hugs between protestors and police

[Juno News @junonewscom]

"Invoking the Emergencies Act only confirms Justin Trudeau’s complete and utter failure at dealing with a positive, optimistic and peaceful grassroots movement."

@CandiceMalcolm explains. #cdnpoli

Thank you, @rupasubramanya. Definitely fringe, these placards filled with frank statements, clear observations, messages of love and hope...

For @CatoInstitute economist #JulianSimon, born today in 1932, more people meant more ideas & innovations which, in turn, meant more value created and a greater ability to solve environmental problems.

@rupasubramanya: B.J. Dichter, a spokesman for the Freedom Convoy, is vaccinated, and he estimates that many—maybe most—of the truckers at the protest are, too. “I’m Jewish. I have family in mass graves in Europe. And apparently I’m a white supremacist https://t.co/qy2MbMK8n6

[Rupa Subramanya @rupasubramanya]

There's a diverse group of truckers and protesters, vaccinated and unvaccinated, and of many different ethnicities and backgrounds, at Freedom Convoy. Their stories haven't been told. I meet some of the people at the protests and try to tell their stories. https://t.co/WCUxrr8QAg

CDC Finally Admits Superior Natural Immunity to SARS-CoV-2. "the CDC’s own data falsify the claim that the CDC started making in August 2021 that the immunity induced by COVID-19 vaccines is superior to natural immunity"

Lots of states ending mask mandates. This is a systematic review of all the evidence to support this intervention during the pandemic. 👇👇
It has always been spot on

Update from @apsmunro on UK COVID situation: "All indicators now falling fast across all ages despite no longer masking in schools." We have the data to know it's safe to unmask our kids.

[Rupa Subramanya @rupasubramanya]

Placards outside Parliament from where @JustinTrudeau and his minority government (which lost the plurality vote) rule the country on a day when he doubles down demonizing a peaceful protest. The contrast couldn't be starker.

Dr. Sunetra Gupta: End mass testing now and let us return to normality. All the unnecessary Covid testing and self-isolation is resulting in too many people being deprived of livelihood, education and hope,

The brilliant @joelkotkin sees "A new dawn for the working class?" The current accelerated shift to renewables occurs while China continues to build new coal plants. A shift of production out of China would be good for the environment https://t.co/3JjuqkS0yW
