Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is demanding protesters go home as three border crossings are now blocked and supporters continue to flock to Parliament to join the Freedom Convoy. Ottawa Police threatened to physically remove protesters on Thursday even as all tow truck operators are refusing to move any vehicles connected with the convoy, saying they stand with the truckers. There have also been threats of mass arrests and criminal charges. Meanwhile, conservatives in Parliament introduced a motion to move toward ending mandates. All the while, Trudeau blamed truckers for problems actually caused by vaccine mandates and COVID restrictions. He…

Dozens of Republicans are calling on the White House to give Joe Biden a cognitive test. On Tuesday, 38 Republicans sent a letter to Biden to follow in 45th President Donald Trump’s footsteps and take a neurophysiological test. The letter said they believe regardless of age, gender or political party, all presidents should take a test to document and demonstrate sound mental abilities. Former White House chief medical advisor, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) said Biden is not in his right mind to sit in the Oval Office. He insisted the test would reassure Americans their Commander-in-Chief is fit for making…

OTTAWA, Ontario—The center of Canada’s capital city was flooded on Feb. 12 by thousands of protesters demanding an end to the country’s COVID-19 mandates and restrictions. Many more joined the ongoing trucker-led protest in Ottawa with the arrival of the weekend. Its numbers grew from the night of Feb. 11 into the next morning, as supporters seemingly poured into the city. Greater masses of people were particularly noticeable on Parliament Hill and then later on the streets, where they spilled out from the immediate vicinity of the truck blockade. At about 10 a.m., several thousand protesters were marshaled into groups to form the word “freedom.”…

Hair stylist Joel McCauley had seen too many colleagues burn out after a perpetual cycle of work, eat and sleep, so when he opened his own salon in Cardiff he was determined to do things differently. Staff at Slunks in Morgan Arcade now work a four-day week for no less pay than for working five days. They are happier, more productive and provide a better service, said McCauley. “When you have more time, you can think about life in a different way,” he said. “At work, you’re likely to have more energy and fewer non-productive days. Outside work, you can be a…

People who’ve had Covid but no jabs may have longer immunity than those who’ve been double-jabbed but never infected, a study suggests. There has been fierce debate about whether natural or vaccine-induced protection is better throughout the pandemic, with research producing mixed results. The debate has become more complicated as time has gone on because so many people have both been exposed to the virus and had their shots. The latest study — from Israel — followed more than 500 people who had either just caught the virus or had recently received two jabs between 2020 and 2021. Participants were…

The doctor who helped discover the Omicron COVID-19 variant claimed that she was pressured by several government officials not to reveal that it was a milder strain. Speaking to Germany’s Welt newspaper, Dr. Angelique Coetzee, who is currently the head of the South African Medical Association, said that during discussions with European officials, she was told not to say that Omicron patients presented milder symptoms than prior COVID-19 variants. “I was told not to publicly state that it was a mild illness. I have been asked to refrain from making such statements and to say that it is a serious illness. I declined,” she told…

Jürgen Klopp has described Luis Díaz’s full Liverpool debut as “one of the best I ever saw” while insisting the new signing needs time to adapt to the Premier League. The Colombia international made an accomplished first start for Klopp’s team in the 2-0 defeat of Leicester on Thursday, when handed an early opportunity to impress Anfield in the absence of Sadio Mané. Klopp credited Díaz’s “skill-set and character” for the seamless introduction and, despite calling for calm, admits he was captivated by the winger’s 89-minute display. “It was his first game and it was probably one of the best I ever saw from…

The convoy protest against a COVID-19 vaccine mandate and other pandemic restrictions outside New Zealand’s parliament building entered its fourth day on Friday, with more vehicles joining in to block streets. The protest has been met with a heavy-handed response from authorities. On Thursday, police arrested 120 protesters and charged them with trespassing or obstruction. Police also used pepper spray on protesters twice after officers were pulled into the crowd. Police said in a statement that a number of vehicles parked illegally on Lambton Quay had been moved overnight, with two protesters arrested for “alcohol-related behavior.” “Images and videos often do not provide…

House Republicans on Feb. 10 urged Democrats to hold a hearing to examine “Big Tech silencing” after GoFundMe shut down fundraising for the Freedom Convoy campaign by Canadian truckers. In a letter (pdf), House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) accused the for-profit crowdfunding platform of “selectively discriminating against certain people by canceling their ability to organize funds through its crowdfunding platform.” “We write to request that you hold a hearing to examine yet another incident of Big Tech silencing certain viewpoints in potentially unlawful ways,” lawmakers said in the letter to House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.). Scalise and Comer also accused GoFundMe…

This is the second time Prince Charles, 73, who is triple jabbed, has tested positive for the coronavirus after contracting the disease in March 2020.
