Alberta e Saskatchewan, drammatico appello dei medici

EDMONTON – Alberta e Saskatchewan sono al collasso. Martedì, l’Alberta ha riportato 1.246 nuovi casi di Covid-19 e altri 18 decessi, dopo le migliaia di nuove infezioni del weekend; il Saskatchewan ha a sua volta registrato 446 nuove infezioni e 10 nuovi decessi. Numeri troppo alti, in rapporto alla popolazione delle due province (4.371.000 la prima, 1.174.000 la seconda). E, come abbiamo già scritto più volte negli ultimi giorni, gli ospedali di entrambe sono al limite… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

Le assurdità della nuova religione “woke”: attivismo per i diritti civili vs stupidità

TORONTO – Alcuni miei amici sono spirituali. Credono in un ultraterreno che riconosce un’entità superiore dalla quale scaturisce tutta la moralità e alla quale, in definitiva, dobbiamo tutti rendere conto. Altri si concentrano maggiormente sull’espressione manifesta di quella moralità vista attraverso le azioni (opere buone): la regola d’oro innata “fai agli altri ciò che vorresti fosse fatto a te”… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

The religion of “woke” and absurdity: civil rights activism versus stupidity

TORONTO – Some friends of mine are spiritual. They believe in an otherworldliness that acknowledges a higher power from whom all morality flows and to whom, ultimately, we must all be accountable. Others focus more on the manifest expression of that morality as seen through deeds (good works): the innate golden rule “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.  Continue reading→

EDMONTON – Alberta and Saskatchewan are collapsing. On Tuesday, Alberta reported 1,246 new cases of Covid-19 and another 18 deaths, following the weekend’s thousands of new infections; Saskatchewan also recorded 446 new infections and 10 new deaths.
