In a much awaited decision, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has laid out the policy aimed at increasing competition and lowering mobile wireless services for Canadians.
This week’s decision will govern the implementation of a so-called mobile virtual network operator or MVNO regime that will allow smaller regional providers to buy bulk access to existing networks at wholesales prices for seven years while they build their own networks.
The goal of this decision is to help establish new competitors in the market and decrease the cost of wireless services.

On August 18th, New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik formally requested that the Trudeau Government terminate its ArriveCAN app which requires all travellers to electronically provide various information before entry is granted to Canada. The cost of the problem-plagued app was roughly $25 million but the hassle and delays are one reason critics say tourism spending remains more that a third below pre-pandemic levels (roughly $97 billion in 2019).
From a recent report: Stats Canada reports wait times at land border crossings have lengthened by up to two hours since 2019 despite traffic being cut in half, and bridge authorities attribute this entirely to restrictions and the ArriveCAN app. The average processing time for arriving passengers at airports has increased by 400 per cent.

A report this week based on recently revealed court documents shows that the federal government’s vaccine travel mandate, which blocked 5 million Canadians from air and rail travel, had no scientific basis. None of 20 members of the Covid Recovery Unit, the federal government bureaucrats who wrote the vaccine travel mandate, had any formal education in epidemiology, medicine or public health. The Director General in charge, Jennifer Little, Little, has an undergraduate degree in literature from the University of Toronto.
The vaccine travel mandate was suspended on June 20, 2022. The mandate was not eliminated and could be returned anytime.

The disruption also interrupted 911 and interac services which facilitated electronic payment in stores across the country. It appears, from preliminary information, that Rogers was doing a network maintenance upgrade and may have failed to follow normal procedures. Possibly some executive told the engineers to just get it done by Thursday. Obviously back-up and the disaster recovery process were both inadequate within Rogers and among the telecom companies. The CRTC has asked Rogers for a full explanation. The federal agency responsible to telecom policy – Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) has called a meeting of major telecom executives and wants to see a plan for better mutual back-up and total network resiliency?

Canada is the only country in the world where a vaccine mandate prohibits approximately 6 million unvaccinated Canadians from air travel. This despite it now being well recognized that the vaccines don’t prevent infection or transmission which removes any case for such a vaccine mandate.

Canadian politicians followed most of the world in responding to the Covid 19 virus with lockdowns and vaccine and mask mandates, that relied on a highly coordinated international fear narrative. In retrospect the policies were a cure worse than the disease that failed badly – killing far more people than they saved while causing enormous damage to the economy, civil society and the country’s finances. On a broader level the massive failure also exposed our failing health, court and political systems. The government subsidized traditional media mostly just simply repeated the official government fear narrative. After almost two years of what can be described effectively as medical martial law, the Trucker freedom convoy finally broke the narrative but only after the federal government used the Emergency Measures Act to crush protests and seize bank accounts. This damaged Canada’s banking system as billions in funds fled for safer places. In the end, this over reaching crack down ended up badly damaging the “Canada brand” as a serious country internationally.
The lockdowns are over but vaccine mandates linger even though it is now well understood that vaccines don’t prevent infection or transmission.
It is now widely acknowledged that the lockdown/mandate based Covid 19 response will end up being the biggest public policy fiasco in history. To ensure that it is never repeated there are now calls for a proper public inquiry. However, having signed off on the mess, the political class has little incentive to conduct a proper, arms length Royal Commission or inquiry. Retired statesman Preston Manning, has written a fictionalized story that describes a work-around – the emergence of a grass roots citizen based Covid Commission which conducts the needed inquiry and recommends the required reforms to fix the various policy systems that failed so egregiously under the lockdown/mandate virus response.

A National Post article this week reported that India’s Supreme Court ruled that “no one can be forced to be vaccinated” and that “bodily integrity and personal autonomy” are protected under the law as a constitutional right. Meanwhile on May 2, Switzerland, and Greece at the same time, lifted all remaining pandemic-related travel restrictions. Visitors, and returning residents, no longer need to show proof of vaccination, proof of recovery, or a recent negative test. New Zealand, similarly, removed its domestic air travel ban on the unvaccinated on April 15th and as of May 1, no longer requires international travellers to show proof of vaccination to board flights.

On April 7th, U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tested positive for Covid 19 despite being full vaxxed and boosted (4 shots). Other politicians (PM Trudeau, Sask Premier Scott Moe, most elected leaders …) have also had Covid 19 despite being similarly fully vaccinated. For several months, it has been generally accepted that the vaccines do not prevent infection or transmission. If vaccinated people can still catch/transmit Covid it eliminates the rationale for vaccine mandates which prevent non-vaccinated people from holding a job, going to university, or getting on an airplane in Canada.

On February 23, the Trudeau government cancelled its plan to maintain Canada in a state of martial law. It also reversed its plan to seize bank accounts of Canadians who donated money to the Freedom Truck Convoy (made transparent through an illegal hack of a crowd funding site). But apparently the damage has just started. The policy caused the computer systems of 5 banks to crash as people moved to place their funds in safer places – with various speculations that Freeland’s policy is causing the beginning of a prolonged run on Canadian banks. Freeland’s move to seize accounts has badly damaged trust in Canada’s banking system, once considered to be the most solid in the world. As one commentator observed: “After all, people put their money into a bank for a reason: to keep it safe. If government bureaucrats can suddenly freeze your money because you gave a small donation to the “wrong” political cause, it creates an obvious incentive: take your money out and put it in a place where it is safer.”

Ongoing Freedom Convoy trucker protests against vaccine mandates have led PM Justin Trudeau to place Canada under a form of martial law with his Emergency Measures Act announced February 14th. Among a host of provisions severely limiting Canadian freedoms it makes crowd funding platforms and payment service providers subject to anti-money laundering and terrorist financing laws. Banks have been asked to freeze accounts of people involved with this “illegal blockade”. A hack of the crowd-funding site GiveSendGo on February 13th revealed the identities of 92,000 donors to the Freedom Convoy. Technically bank accounts involving hundreds of thousands of Canadians are now at risk of forfeiture.

Written by 3 medical professors (Harvard, Stanford, Oxford) it argues that the collateral damage from the Covid 19 lockdowns far exceed any benefits.

This was the traditional approach to handling virus outbreaks prior to the so-called temporary lockdowns which began in March 2020 (i.e. just 14 days to flatten the curve).

In a recent referendum 62% of Albertans voted in favour of seeing the principle of equalization removed from the constitution. Proponents of equalization argue it is only fair that rich provinces help out poorer provinces in order to provide similar service levels across the country. Critics of equalization point out that the policy artificially enlarges the size of government in recipient provinces and gives them perverse incentives to not develop their economies (Nova Scotia and Quebec, for example, ban natural gas fracking which would provide new revenue sources).

The Government of Canada has committed to moving to net-zero emissions by 2050 as part of a broader UN plan to fight human caused climate change. It means ending all hydro-carbon energies including coal, natural gas, oil. Europe, which has travelled farther down this net zero road is facing a dangerous energy shortage going into the winter because its renewable power (wind and solar) is failing to provide sufficient, reliable power.

“In sum, of the 14 RCTs that have tested the effectiveness of masks in preventing the transmission of respiratory viruses, three suggest, but do not provide any statistically significant evidence in intention-to-treat analysis, that masks might be useful. The other eleven suggest that masks are either useless—whether compared with no masks or because they appear not to add to good hand hygiene alone—or actually counterproductive.” –
