Precisely. The new left believes the justice system should be used to punish their political enemies who committed midemeanours decades ago and shield those who support their globalist aims, even if they have the blood of millions on their hands.

A lack of consensus won't stop the WHO from trying again to further extend its tentacles.

WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and other globalists were met with failure at the May 27-June 1 World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland. Rather than win over critics with reassurances ahead of the next stage of his campaign to promote the failed scheme, Ghebreyesus instead doubled down, urging a crackdown on skeptics.

Road to failure
Ghebreyesus has spent several months promoting his "global pandemic agreement."

In his Feb. 12 Dubai address, entitled, "A Pact with the Future: Why the Pandemic Agreement Is Mission-Critical for Humanity," Ghebreyesus said, "We cannot allow this historic agreement, this milestone in global health, to be sabotaged by those who spread lies, either deliberately or unknowingly."

The critics whom Ghebreyesus branded liars and conspiracy theorists include those who reckon the pact would undermine national sovereignty as well as those skeptical of the WHO's competence. In the latter case, the WHO did itself no favors in recent years, particularly during the pandemic.

After all, the organization reportedly aided the Chinese communist regime in its cover up of COVID-19's origins; told the nations of the world not to restrict travelers from China or close their borders even though China had domestically; granted Beijing a veto over the WHO's COVID-19 origins report; and it endorsed vaccines that were not nearly as safe or as effective as advertised, including the blood clot-inducing Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine whose developer now faces a class-action lawsuit over injuries in the United Kingdom as well as a recent lawsuit in Utah. Prior to the pandemic, it also courted controversy with its sexual abuse scandal, wasteful spending, and corruption.

Evidently, it was not enough for the WHO director to demean opponents of his grand scheme to see it through.

Fauci admitted that there was no scientific evidence behind the 6-foot social distancing protocol or the guidelines for masking children, according to bombshell congressional testimony. Fauci also conceded that the lab leak theory is a "possible" explanation for the origins of COVID-19.

In the first four months of 2024, a whopping 113,843 illegal aliens had their asylum cases terminated.

The Biden administration has effectively offered "mass amnesty" by quietly terminating asylum cases to hundreds of thousands of migrants, according to an eye-opening report.

The Biden administration has "terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim" more than 350,000 migrant asylum cases since 2022, according to a new report from the New York Post – citing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials as their source. The illegal immigrants reportedly have their asylum cases dismissed as long as they don't have a criminal record or are deemed to not be a threat to the United States.

While the migrants are not granted asylum per se, they are also not denied asylum. In addition, their asylum cases are terminated without a decision based on the merits of their asylum claim. Consequently, they are removed from the legal system and no longer required to check in with authorities. They are free to live in the U.S. without fear of deportation.

Trudeau has placed Canada in a conundrum usually faced by developing nations. Trudeau's entire term in office has been to make Canada less free and less prosperous.

Problems With Trudeau's Immigration Policy Increasingly Undeniable

When even bank economists are calling for immigration restriction, you know something is seriously wrong with Canada's immigration policy.

Published on January 15th, a new special report by National Bank of Canada economists Stéfane Marion and Alexandra Ducharme argues that the country now finds itself in a "population trap".

A population trap occurs when a country's population is growing so fast that the ratio of capital (wealth) to labour (workers) remains the same or declines.

In this scenario, companies inundated with cheap labour spend less on improving worker productivity – say, by purchasing or upgrading machinery.

In a population trap, any increase in the average living standard is impossible.

You probably have never heard of this odd scenario, because population traps usually only occur in emerging economies like India or Sub-Saharan Africa.

The report explains that Trudeau's open-door immigration policy, which has intensified in the last couple of years, is to blame.

The figures are staggering.

Canada's population grew by 825,000 in 2022, and then more than 1.2 million in 2023.

In order to find another time that Canada's population grew by more than 600,000 in one year, you have to go back to 1949 – and that's only because Newfoundland joined Confederation!

In percentage terms, our population grew by 3.2% in 2023 – five times higher than the OECD average of 0.6%.

This growth was not limited to Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal: all ten provinces grew more than twice as fast as the OECD average.

The highest growth rates, in percentage terms, were Alberta (4.3%) and Prince Edward Island (4%).

The report goes on to argue that, in addition to preventing an increase in living standards, large-scale immigration is fuelling the housing crisis.

The authors explain that the housing supply deficit is at a record low: there is now just one housing start for every 4.2 people entering the working-age population.

In order to meet demand, and reduce inflation in the cost of housing, Canada would need to reach a jaw-dropping 700,000 housing starts per year.

To limit the strain on Canada's housing infrastructure, and to help us escape our current population trap, the authors call for a dramatic cut in immigration numbers.

Specifically, they suggest that annual population growth should not exceed 300,000 to 500,000 – a far cry from the current annual growth rate of 1.2 million.

The immigration file is now a rare instance where economists and the Canadian public are of one accord: cool the jets on population growth!

In an Abacus poll released in November, a remarkable 67% of Canadians said that Trudeau's immigration target is too high.

Strikingly, majorities among both native-born Canadians (68%) and foreign-born Canadians (62%) thought so.

Furthermore, majorities of Conservative voters (82%), NDP voters (63%), Liberal voters (61%), and Bloc voters (80%) said there was too much immigration.

There are not many issues in Canada which can unify National Bank economists, the wider public, Conservatives, first-generation immigrants, Bloc voters, the Liberals and the NDP.

It seems like there's only one demographic left that thinks our immigration system is working just fine: the political class.

Are they listening?

I hope he retires from politics. He helped get the inflationary corporate welfare bulls IRA and CHIPS Act across the finish line. I want WV to elect a fiscally conservative senator in November.

Have any of you ever noticed this phenomenon? That leftists become even more unhinged and angry when they get their way? It's as if that hole in their soul can never quite be filled.

That is one unhinged outburst by Admin.

What I like about Garraty is he sticks to issues and reserves his attacks for the post and not the poster. He disagrees with my fiscal conservatism, but he doesn't call me a balding gook when we disagree. The hyper partisan TDS crew from CBT, but now at BF seem incapable of that kind of maturity.

I am in no rush to judge Kyle Rittenhouse at this point. We are getting one side of the story.
