A few important links about China and Canada and the Chinese Viceroy to Canada, Justin Trudeau

1. Thousands of contaminated test kits delivered to New Brunswick

Thousands of kits meant to screen for COVID-19 delivered to New Brunswick from a supplier in China last week were contaminated and can’t be used at this point.

Premier Blaine Higgs told reporters Thursday that he learned about the defective kits a week ago and found the news “disappointing.”

 

The problem appeared to be “related to the packaging and the situation around the company,” Higgs said when asked about the test kits at his regular coronavirus briefing.

Dr. Richard Garceau, a microbiologist-infectologist at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre in Moncton, told Radio-Canada more than 6,400 test kits were contaminated prior to being used.

 

“As soon as we received them, we realized that they were all contaminated with bacteria … In addition to being contaminated, the product was defective,” Garceau said. 

The kits included swabs and sterilized tubes.

It wasn’t clear how the contamination occurred.

PM warns against discrimination at Lunar New Year event as fears of coronavirus spread

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged Canadians to stay united and warned against the rise of discrimination as fears of the coronavirus spread.

 

“There is no place in our country for discrimination driven by fear or misinformation,” Trudeau said at a Lunar New Year celebration at a banquet hall in Scarborough, a district in Toronto. “This is not something Canadians will ever stand for.”

 

The comments come just days after politicians, public health officials and members of the Chinese Canadian community in Toronto said that more needed to be done to avoid a recurrence of the racism and xenophobia experienced during the 2003 SARS outbreak.

 

4th confirmed case in Canada

 

Public health officials in Canada confirmed another person tested positive for coronavirus on Friday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the country to four — three in Ontario and one in B.C.

 

In China, where the outbreak originated, the number of confirmed cases rose above 11,000 on Saturday, with the death toll at 259.

4. CBC adopts more communist tactics, instructs children on how to guide parent’s wrongthink.

A CBC News report gives kids advice on how to shut down “conspiracy theories” voiced by their parents about coronavirus being created by China in a lab.

Because apparently that’s the media’s job now.

The presenter laments how somebody’s Dad may drop a message into chat blaming China for “manufacturing the coronavirus” with a “link to a site you’ve never heard of” (translation – a link that’s not, God forbid, mainstream media).

 

The piece then features a woman from a group that combats “misinformation online” who urges the son or daughter not to get confrontational with their Dad but to accuse him of being accurate and stirring fear.

1. Narrative Dominance in COVID19 Reporting

In late March, The Federalist Society put out “Inaccurate Virus Models are Panicking Officials into Ill-Advised Lockdowns” by Madeline Osburn.  The article raises questions about the nature and quality of the information relied on by government decision-makers and media when reporting on COVID-19. On the same day, The Federalist’s Twitter account was “temporarily locked for violating the Twitter Rules regarding COVID-19” in another  Federalist article.

Osburn’s concern was that the information used to drive decisions and inform the public was disproportionately coming from COVID Act Now, an organization whose very name signals a progressive posture. And progressive and techie it is. As Osborn notes,

  • Founders of the site include Democratic Rep. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins and three Silicon Valley tech workers and Democratic activists — Zachary Rosen, Max Henderson, and Igor Kofman — who are all also donors to various Democratic campaigns and political organizations since 2016.
  • Henderson and Kofman donated to the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016, while
  • Rosen donated to the Democratic National Committee, recently resigned Democratic Rep. Katie Hill and other Democratic candidates.
  • Prior to building the COVID Act Now website, Kofman created an online gamedesigned to raise $1 million for the eventual 2020 Democratic candidate and defeat President Trump. The game’s website is now defunct. […]

2. Formation of a COVID19 Red Team

Unconstrained Analytics, Inc recommends the formation of a Red Team to assess activities associated with the COVID19 Pandemic from a political warfare perspective.

Recognizing the necessity of undertaking all necessary public health measures to protect the population, Unconstrained Analytics, Inc recommends the formation of a Red Team to assess activities associated with the COVID19 Pandemic from a political warfare perspective.

Pandemics constitute a national security threat in their own right and demand an associated targeted intelligence collection effort. There are many aspects to the COVID19 Pandemic that raise red flags.

America is under intense public health, financial, economic, political, regulatory, social, psychological, media, and ideological stress. There are known political warfare scenarios that envision the leveraging of these circumstances to maneuver America into precisely the situation it currently finds itself – a situation that makes it vulnerable to hostile political warfare exploitation. As the Soviets would say, “Comrad, there are no exceptions.” […]

From a dog park, Vancouver Canada: A rent rant

People who can pay rent must pay rent. Tenants made a deal with the landlord. The latter would provide the tenant with a place to live and whatever comes with it, heat when its cold, power, water and so on.

The following flyer was found in a dog park in Vancouver Canada:

At the time they make the deal, tenants agree to pay an amount they felt was fair for what they get. If they choose not to pay it now out of some kind of misguided spite, or more likely, opportunism disguised as communist ‘altruism’, it just means they are selfish bastards with no character whatsoever, and no one should ever trust a word they say again.

People will keep records. And anyone who chooses not to pay when they can pay, might find it difficult in the future to hold any kind of position of trust, rent an apartment, float a loan, get a mortgage or even a credit card.

I hope people think before they refuse to pay rent. This crisis will end. Governments will allow evictions again. Leases might be harder to come by than they think, if it’s known that they didn’t pay rent when they could have.

People who truly cannot pay rent because of Covid-19, or more accurately, due to government measures to combat Covid-19, can get support from the government and make arrangements with landlords. It will be known who they are. And they should not be punished for the policies of the government.

But for those who can pay rent, think for a few minutes about what your landlord will have to do if he can’t make his mortgage, property taxes, utilities, water power, repairs and so on. Do you want to live in buildings like the gang in A Clockwork Orange? Because that is what you will get if this thing lasts a few months and you don’t pay rent. A slum.

Tucker Carlson asks very important questions on the spread and handling of this disease

On the first question:

It is interesting that this virus was released into the population right at the time where a large number of Chinese expats came back to the motherland for the largest celebration of the year on the Chinese calendar. Chinese New Years.

The Diaspora got infected and went back to their adopted countries to spread the virus there. Italy most notably.

These things are known to be the case. What is not known, is if it was deliberate on the part of the Chinese communist government.

But the fact that the virus did spread to the entire Western world, and perhaps the entire world from Wuhan, but NOT to the rest of China, would certainly be a massive data point to suggest that it was.
