      Though Boosters are being made available in Ontario, Boosters will not be required to continue being considered fully vaccinated.

  2. Lol.  What's up with Buttgieg's so-called "moment" last night?  You know, the one about his message to the Republicans when they've reached the twilight of their lives - what will they be remembered for?  Whether you had the courage to stand up to Trump, or support his racist views?

    What's lost to Buttgieg is that not everyone think Trumps comments are racists!  Only dishonest anti-Trumps and fake news media try to float that!

    How about you Democrats?   When you've reached the twilight of your life, how will you be remembered?  Someone who upheld the fundamental freedoms of DEMOCRACY (such as freedom of speech, etc.....), or will you be cursed for being a part that ripped Democracy to shreds, and instead helped firmly install socialism?  Will you be a significant figure in the downfall of America?

     

    Lol, one thing we know for sure  - this batch of Democrats 2019,  will be remembered for being a bunch of scatterbrains who supported the moronic SQUAT!  So, there! :lol:

      Everybody's saying that other PMs would've kicked her out asap.  But that's not my point.   Can it be challenged?  Did anyone ever try?

      Nowadays, practically every rules are being challenged for their constitutionality.   Look at the immigration rules of a country!   Do illegal immigrants follow a country's rules on immigration?   Some groups challenge said rules.

      I'm not saying she will challenge it for certain.  But BChenney raised a good question: can a democratically-elected MP be kicked out without due process?

      Philpott was not even allowed to address her colleagues!

      There's also her reputation their consider.  Especially when both had done nothing wrong.  Raybould has to protect herself by recording Weckner. 

      She's been forced to become a "whistle-blower"....therefore, all these rationales by Liberal MPs are irrational!  Lol, It's like they're all batting a pingpong ball in a baseball game! :lol:

        Yes, there is an erosion of trust.   But the erosion is with Trudeau and the PMO!  After all things considered, it's only reasonable that clearly, Raybould cannot trust them.

      Heck....look how Trudeau lied to the public!  How many times did Trudeau change his story?  Can you blame Raybould?   NO!

      What I find notable is the low key way this is being handled by the media. Sure, they're reporting on it, but in a very ho hum sort of tone. If you recall when it was Duffy the media were like sharks in a feeding frenzy, over something far less significant than this sordid affair. Strange how that works.

      Duffy had 31 charges under the criminal code and was scamming money from the taxpayer. How many charges has Grewel been charged with? How much money did he steal? What, therefore. Makes this worse? Your own partisan wishful thinking? Sorry. You lose.

  7. Funny how the looney progressives are so into ORGANIC this-and-that, and all out against pesticides, or anti-biotics, or who-knows-what-else-they-can-come-up-with.......and yet, they're trying to push this BEYOND MEAT or IMPOSSIBLE BURGERS on us, to make us change our preference for real meat!

    Well, these products are quite so HIGHLY PROCESSED -  who knows what chemicals goes in them -  to make them what they're not!

    Lol, suddenly processed food and stuffing yourself with who-knows-what, is okay!  Just shows how they think people are so stupid!

     

    Products geared to combat  climate change are part and parcel of this new industry!  Capitalizing on Climate Change - that's the point of all these!

     

     

    With Climate Change comes the "need!"   They're creating and peddling needs on the back of fear-mongering.  Satisfying those needs from light bulbs to solar, etc...... is just the new way to make billions $!

     

    It won't make any difference.  The earth will still go on with its cycle.

  21. How do we know you’re telling the truth?”

    The speech of sex workers is under unprecedented scrutiny in American politics right now. Clifford replied, “‘Cause I have no reason to lie. I’m opening myself up for, you know, possible danger and definitely a whole lot of shit.”

    Exactly!  Why open yourself to possible danger (not only from Trump - if he is a dangerous opponent, or from his followers)?  What's in it for you?  There's gotta be something.

     

    No reason to lie?  Oh yes, you do.

      A few weeks later, she says, a man approached her in Las Vegas.
       
      "I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter," Daniels said. "And a guy walked up on me and said to me, 'Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.' And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, 'That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom,' and then he was gone," she said.

      Daniels said she was shaken by the experience but never told police out of fear.

       

      I don't know about this "fear" factor.  You don't look fearful to me now.  In fact, your lawyer sounds more like taunting.  Just because you went public, does not eliminate any danger.  It isn't only Trump you've got to consider here, especially in these turbulent times in politics  - there are also the lunatics.

       

      If fear is your reason - I think you, and your lawyer - have chosen a lousy timing to come out swinging.

      Daniels told Cooper her former manager and former attorney pressured her to sign it.
      "If it was untruthful, why did you sign it?" Cooper asked.
      "Because they made it sound like I had no choice," Daniels said. "As a matter of fact, the exact sentence used was, 'They can make your life hell in many different ways.'"
      When asked who "they" were, Daniels said she believed it was Cohen.

       

      ---------------

       

      Cohen has denied he made any threats to Daniels, and following the airing of the "60 Minutes" interview, an attorney for Cohen said in a letter that Daniels had defamed his client.

      -------------------------

      When asked about Daniels' charge that she was pressured into signing a false statement, her former attorney, Keith Davidson, responded in a statement to CNN: "I do not believe that the assertions in Ms. Daniels' 60 Minutes interview represent a fair and accurate description of the situation."
      He added that he cannot discuss the matter because of attorney-client privilege.
      "The current legal requirements prohibit me from doing so until such a time that Ms. Daniels, in writing, waives attorney client privilege and authorizes me to speak publicly on the matter," Davidson said.

       

      Marc Harris, the lawyer for Daniels' former manager, Gina Rodriguez, told CNN, "Ms. Clifford did not say during the interview that Ms. Rodriguez pressured her in any way to sign the January 2018 statement."
      Though she technically is not shown saying it during the interview, Anderson Cooper's voiceover made clear that is what Daniels said.

       

      https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/26/politics/5-revelations-in-stormy-daniels-interview/index.html

      Daniels should be pressured to waive the attorney-client privilege - we have to hear from everyone that's being implicated in this circus.

      Daniels might be following the lead of what seems like an opportunistic, sleaze bag  lawyer - her current lawyer -  who could be using her to make a name for himself, to say the least.

      It still boggles why USA and NATO insisted on their announcement that invasion was imminent when Zelensky himself was trying to downplay it.   Perhaps, with it not being too public, Zelensky was hoping Putin wouldn't be pushed to a point of no return (avoid public humiliation), and diplomacy can be reached.
