Totalitarianism 2.0

A number of hotels in Canada are implementing mandatory COVID-19 vaccination among their employees, including some of the most popular hotels in Quebec.

Those who don't want to get vaccinated must provide two negative tests per week, at their expense, to stay on the job.

Quebecers will have to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter big-box stores with a surface area of more than 1,500 square metres, except for grocery stores or pharmacies.

The Quebec government says it put this measure in place to reduce the spread of the Omicron variant.

Premier François Legault specified on Jan. 13 that two doses of a vaccine would be required to enter large establishments, though that will eventually change to three doses.

Gray report: Failures of leadership in No 10

The initial findings of Sue Gray's report into parties at Downing Street has just dropped, saying there were "failures of leadership and judgment" in No 10 and the Cabinet Office.

We are going through it with a fine-tooth comb to bring you all you need to know, but here are some stand-out lines from the document:

"Against the backdrop of the pandemic, when the government was asking citizens to accept far-reaching restrictions on their lives, some of the behaviour surrounding these gatherings is difficult to justify"

"At least some of the gatherings in question represent a serious failure to observe not just the high standards expected of those working at the heart of government but also of the standards expected of the entire British population at the time"

"At times it seems there was too little thought given to what was happening across the country in considering the appropriateness of some of these gatherings, the risks they presented to public health and how they might appear to the public"
 

Lockdown parties 'should not have been allowed'

The report is 12 pages long, and makes clear that some of the events in Downing Street over the lockdowns "should not have been allowed to take place", while others "should not have been allowed to develop as they did".

It says the garden of No 10 was "used for gatherings without clear authorisation or oversight - this was not appropriate".Here are some more of Sue Gray's findings:

"The excessive consumption of alcohol is not appropriate in a professional workplace at any time"

"Some staff wanted to raise concerns about behaviours they witnessed at work but at times felt unable to do so - no member of staff should feel unable to report or challenge poor conduct where they witness it"

"The leadership structures [in No 10] are fragmented and complicated and this has sometimes led to the blurring of lines of accountability"

I was limited so no meaningful report at present - Gray

In the report, Sue Gray refers to the Met Police's request that she only make "minimal reference" to the events they are investigating.

Because of that, it means she's been extremely limited in what she can say, the report says.

Sue Gray writes:

"As a result of the Metropolitan Police’s investigations, and so as not to prejudice the police investigative process, they have told me that it would only be appropriate to make minimal reference to the gatherings on the dates they are investigating."

"Unfortunately, this necessarily means that I am extremely limited in what I can say about those events and it is not possible at present to provide a meaningful report setting out and analysing the extensive factual information I have been able to gather."

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe pledged to end the province’s proof of vaccination policies in a letter to truckers posted on Facebook Saturday morning.

“My government supports your call to end the cross border ban on unvaccinated truckers,” he said. “And it is why, in the not too-distant future, our government will be ending our proof of negative test/proof of vaccination policy in Saskatchewan.”

. . . vaccinations are not currently reducing the transmission of COVID-19, adding the federal border policy mandating vaccinations for truckers “makes no sense.”

In an interview with G. Edward Griffin in 1984, former KGB informant Yuri Bezmenov had exposed the insidious operations of the Soviet Union and how the Communist apparatus viciously overtakes the conscience of a country.

1984 interview with G. Edward Griffin titled “Deception Was My Job”, he laid out the four stages of “ideological subversion” created by radical Marxists to indoctrinate and weaken nations from within.

Quebec Premier François Legault says his government will not go ahead with a proposed tax on the unvaccinated, in order to protect "social cohesion" in the province.

Still, Legault denied that he was backing down due to demands by organizers of a protest planned for Thursday in Quebec City. He said he had already begun to have discussions "last week" about scrapping the tax. Interim public health director Dr. Luc Boileau confirmed during the news conference that he had not been asked whether he approved of the tax.
