A Global News Investigation Misses the Mark
COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Testing of Asymptomatic People was a Debacle for the Ages
Conclusions
The rapid antigen tests were reasonably accurate in identifying people that had COVID-19 and differentiating them from people that were at no risk of spreading above-threshold doses of SARS-CoV-2 to others.
Diagnostic tests to be administered by health professionals to sick people should NEVER have been used, let alone self-administered, to screen healthy people.
Companies, including the manufacturers, suppliers, and testing centres made massive profits, and billions of taxpayer dollars were completely wasted by the government on a strategy that had no public health value.
The grand debacle of COVID-19 rapid antigen testing suggests that too many health care practitioners are functioning at a level that makes artificial intelligence-based medicine start to look dangerously appealing. Medical educators need to do a much better job of teaching what constitutes a diseased state and how to properly diagnosis it. If PCR machines are going to be allowed to take over the job of making definitive diagnoses, then many physicians will no longer be needed.
The practitioners that are being driven out of our health care system for boldly speaking scientific truths over the past few years are the ones that we desperately need to retain if we are going to have any chance of maintaining a system that genuinely cares about the promotion of good health.
And for organizations like Global News, you need to figure out how to conduct true investigative journalism, rather than wasting time on largely irrelevant and distractive tangents.

New report denounces Havana and claims ‘campaign of subversion’ has infiltrated highest levels of US government
"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”
The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.
The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...
Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.
Canada’s economy is stalling badly.
We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.
Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.
And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.
Why does GDP matter?
Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.
The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.
The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:
Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
