" To facilitate early recognition, Kawaoka and his colleagues will look for mutations in viral proteins that allow avian influenza viruses to bind to human receptors or facilitate efficient replication in human cells. Avian viruses don’t generally infect human or other mammalian hosts. But every once in a while, a mutation occurs that allows avian viruses to adapt to human cells. That is generally when a pandemic occurs. ... intervention methods — such as social distancing, antiviral compound distribution, and vaccine development/production — could be implemented early.

(Bloomberg) -- Canada is deploying what it calls an “aerial intelligence task force” as part of a new C$1.3 billion ($908 million) plan to address US President-elect Donald Trump’s concerns about migrants and fentanyl flowing across the northern border. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police will operate the task force, made up of helicopters, drones and mobile surveillance towers. It’s one of multiple measures unveiled by the Canadian government on Tuesday in an effort to avert Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on all goods from the country unless it boosts border security. The announcement comes a day after the country’s finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, abruptly resigned, accusing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of failing to seriously prepare for a Trump presidency. She was replaced by Dominic LeBlanc, the public safety minister who released the border plan on Tuesday. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/2024/12/17/canada-expands-aerial-border-surveillance-to-pacify-trump/

(Bloomberg) -- The Canadian dollar slid to its lowest level since March 2020 as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government slips into crisis after the shocking resignation of his finance minister. The currency extended its recent losses to slide another 0.4% on Tuesday past 1.43 per US dollar, the weakest level since the Covid-19 pandemic first shuttered cities. The loonie has been declining as the US’s northern neighbor’s economy lags and officials struggle to come up with a plan to respond to President-elect Donald Trump’s tariff threats. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/2024/12/17/canadas-dollar-slumps-to-covid-era-low-as-political-risk-mounts/

But 'trust the science', right? And trust the self-proclaimed [Fauci] 'father of science', right? DARPA Paper!!! mRNA KILLER VACCINES Ready Before COVID PANDEMIC, Military Agency's Dossier proves Plot among Pentagon, Gates & Moderna They confirm, as claimed by the American patent expert David E. Martin, author of the book The Fauci Dossier, that the NIAID directed by Fauci played a fundamental role in this research. The DARPA document also highlights that Moderna started its clinical trials on Covid-19 already in 2019, well before the Wuhan outbreak (which occurred after the shipment of US soldiers to China for the Military Games in October 2019) became a global threat due to the first genotype of SARS-Cov-2, much more lethal than the subsequent Delta and Omicron variants. According to the evidence collected by Martin, Moderna’s patent for the Covid mRNA Spikevax vaccine prototype was patented and registered in March 2019, that is, 9 months before the discovery of the first outbreak and almost a year before the WHO declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/12/exclusive-darpa-paper-mrna-killer-vaccines-ready-before-covid-pandemic/

Canadians are less proud of and less attached to their country than they ever have been, with levels plummeting in recent years. Poll results released by the Angus Reid Institute on Friday highlighted that the years following the pandemic have muddied the waters. In 1985, 78% of Canadians said they were “very proud” to be Canadian. This saw a slow but consistent fall between 1985 and 2003 to 68%. By 2016, the year after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took office, the percentage had fallen to 52%. By 2024, this value fell off a cliff, reaching a mere 34%. https://tnc.news/2024/12/15/canadian-pride-national-attachment-erode/

It is not every day that you achieve the status of “he-who-must-not-be-named.” But that curious distinction has been bestowed upon me by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, according to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and other publications. For more than a year, people who tried to research my name online using ChatGPT were met with an immediate error warning. It turns out that I am among a small group of individuals who have been effectively disappeared by the AI system. How we came to this Voldemortian status is a chilling tale about not just the rapidly expanding role of artificial intelligence, but the power of companies like OpenAI. Joining me in this dubious distinction are Harvard Professor Jonathan Zittrain, CNBC anchor David Faber, Australian mayor Brian Hood, English professor David Mayer, and a few others. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ghosted-chatgpt-how-jonathan-turley-was-first-defamed-then-deleted-ai

A Canadian doctor who was censored for discussing Covid topics during the pandemic is taking her legal battle to the country’s Supreme Court, in a bid to have free speech restrictions imposed on her finally removed. Dr. Kulvinder Kaur Gill made the decision after the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled to uphold three “cautions” she received for tweets opposing what she considered to be harmful Covid lockdowns, published in August 2020. https://reclaimthenet.org/canadian-doctor-kulvinder-kaur-gill-supreme-court-free-speech-covid-lockdown-case
