Sask. premier says COVID-19 vaccination 'will remain a choice'
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe urged people to get vaccinated against COVID-19, but says doing so “will remain a choice” within the province.
However, Moe delivered a stern message Friday morning to residents who choose not to get vaccinated.
"By choosing not to get vaccinated you are choosing to put yourself at increased risk, yes, of getting COVID and significantly increased risk of experiencing severe outcomes from this virus, but your decision to not get vaccinated is no longer just impacting yourself," he said at a news conference in Saskatoon.
"By choosing to not get vaccinated you are increasing the risk to those who don't have a choice. For example, our children under the age of 12.
"And by choosing to not get vaccinated, you are now placing tremendous strain on our health-care system, filling up our ICU beds and you are burdening many of our health-care workers in this province."
Moe, Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab and Saskatchewan Health Authority CEO Scott Livingstone spoke at the Saskatoon Cabinet Office to provide an update on the province's response to COVID-19.

The Toronto Raptors are indeed coming home — finally.
A team spokesperson confirmed Friday that the team has received the green light to play at Scotiabank Arena this season, after a season spent in Tampa. Fla.
How many fans can be in attendance, however, is still to be determined.
"We are optimistic regarding our ability to host full capacity events at Scotiabank Arena," the spokesperson said.

The Raptors will open their pre-season against the Philadelphia 76ers on Oct. 4 — their first game at Scotiabank Arena in more than 19 months.
The Raptors announced a five-game pre-season schedule on Friday that includes two home appearances. They'll also host Houston on Oct. 11.
"And as a reminder, all people wishing to access the arena — whether to attend an event as a spectator, or as a member of the media — will be required to show proof of vaccination for COVID-19 or proof of a medical exemption," the team spokesperson said.

Only the most fanatical Justin Trudeau partisans will begrudge Jody Wilson-Raybould for her moment of revenge.
COMMENTARY: Trudeau deserved Jody Wilson-Raybould’s revenge
Reading the first excerpt of her book, I did find myself occasionally cocking an eyebrow at the portrayal of a wide-eyed innocent who somehow awoke to find herself in a den of partisan thieves.

It was, after all, the Liberal Party she had joined—the most ruthless and successful vote-winning machine in Western politics this side of Mexico’s PRI—not the parish altar guild.
But setting aside questions of systemic hypocrisy and looking only at the SNC-Lavalin imbroglio, it is as clear today as it was in 2019 that Wilson-Raybould was right and Trudeau was wrong.

Former Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes throws support behind Tory candidate in election
The Conservative Party has found an unlikely supporter in the federal election: former Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes.
Speaking in an interview with The West Block’s Mercedes Stephenson, Caesar-Chavannes — who left the Liberal caucus to sit as an independent in March 2019 — said she plans to vote for Conservative candidate Maleeha Shahid in the Whitby, Ont., riding she once represented as a Liberal.
“I’m very much a Liberal at heart, but I would say that in this particular instance, in 2021, I don’t mind voting for my local representative, Maleeha Shahid, who is a Conservative,” Caesar-Chavannes said.
“I’ve never done that in my life. But at this particular time, maybe we have to think about doing things differently.”

Many people around the world will be watching with interest on Monday because Justin Trudeau is more popular in other countries than he is here. If he loses, or if he fails to win a majority, the countdown clock on Trudeau’s political career will start ticking. The Conversation Weekly podcast focuses on Trudeau’s global popularity and how that doesn't help much at home. While intended for an international audience, the episode is worth a listen for Canadians because political scientist Alex Marland of Memorial University of Newfoundland does a wonderful job of summarizing the rise and potential fall of Justin Trudeau.

Canadian PM Trudeau Vows to Criminalize ‘Anti-Vax’ Hospital Protests
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed Monday to criminalize protests outside hospitals in Canada if reelected in an upcoming parliamentary vote after hundreds of citizens opposed to Trudeau’s latest Chinese coronavirus vaccine mandates staged peaceful demonstrations and candlelight vigils outside health centers nationwide in recent days.

Bury My Heart at Bended Knee (An Experimental Epitaph for Canada)
I had not set out to find any revelations while trying to make sense of my predicament and that of the scores of people that I personally know who have already, or are seeking to escape what Canada has become. However, I may have caught glimpses of one or two in the course of writing this essay, which is meant to be simply citizen journalism.
What has revealed itself gradually is an unflattering picture of a Canada lost in delusion, medical charlatanism, division, defeatism and a total breach of the Social Contract between the state and the people. At the beating heart of it, is a casual, yet racing hypocrisy common to both the former and the latter.
It was as if a person with very low IQ, complicated by Traumatic Brain Injury, happened across the film versions of some major dystopian novels and watched them in no particular order, having first ‘got stoned’: Lord of the Flies, Brave New World, Nineteen Eighty Four, The Handmaid’s Tale and something with Steve Martin in it. That person went to sleep off and on during his ordeal and when he woke up exclaimed: “Yes! That’s the world for me!” and found he had become a Prime Minister.
The other half of this parable/paradigm is that, while the future PM watched, mesmerized, his toxic cocktail of movies, ‘we the people’ went to sleep too, as a nation of free Canadians of all kinds, and woke up as ‘Indians’. Not the free and proud, varied tribes of pre-contact America, but the ones who were being driven to near-extinction at Wounded Knee and on the reservations which the elites of the day had decided were all these people needed, as they were going to steal the rest. The Indians were assured by their tormentors that “they would own nothing, and be happy.”
I am now self-exiled from my native country by the various machinations of the permanent ‘Uni-party’ of Canada.
This is a poorly bolted-together, rusted and outdated five-piece contraption consisting of a Neo-Liberal, (formerly) ‘Conservative’ Party of Canada; a ceremonially armed, mainly Sikh-controlled, New Democratic Party; the francophone, single-issue (separation) Bloc Quebecois with its unabashedly honest mantra “Fu*k Canada!” (an opinion gaining some traction across Canada today); and the stillborn, currently self-destructing Green Party.
Last but certainly not least, is the Paleo-Liberal Party of Canada (in the US it would be called Neo-Con). I recently plugged my nose from abroad and watched the political ritual called ‘The Debates’ which followed the cynical, reigning party’s announcement of a forced ‘snap-election’. Trudeau had, a few months earlier, coerced an all-party agreement that: “this was not the time for an election …because Covid,” but as we shall see below, rules for these rulers, are made to be broken.
