Yeah except it's definitely not eliminated from China and everywhere that was doing well and then eased restrictions too much has had new outbreaks. It's irresponsible and stupid to do this poo poo until there's a vaccine that's been widely deployed. You can't have pool parties this year. Viruses don't care that the Party has declared victory.

it actually is cancelled this weekend when cinemas and massage parlors reopen on friday in hk

and we only increased from 9 yesterday to 19 new cases today

covid is the gift of the Great Cycle, where everyone says "our infection rates have been falling for fourteen days now! better open everything up again" and then get confused when new cases increase by 1000% over the next week. this will continue to happen once a season, for ever

Kelly cartoons are intentionally unfunny because they're satire of how political cartoons are typically devoid of humor, which makes them funny again.

edit: I can't believe this video is now 8 years old, and Kelley is so good that this is literally the same family, and same joke.

If you read all the Kelley cartoons you'll see him start off thinner and grow fatter by the year.

It looks like he may have gotten in trouble for using a VPN, but isn't going to jail for it. Probably just invited for tea.

GET FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED

quote:

OTTAWA — The legal team for a Huawei executive facing extradition to the United States has lost its battle to have the contents of six confidential documents released to them.

Meng Wanzhou's defence team argued in Federal Court that the redacted documents would support its position that Meng suffered an abuse of process during her arrest at Vancouver's airport in 2018.

Meng is wanted in the United States on fraud charges, which she and Huawei deny.

In a ruling released today, Justice Catherine Kane says the court found the information contained in the documents is not relevant to the allegations of abuse described by Meng's legal team.

She says the attorney general of Canada and a friend of the court submitted a joint proposal that included the lifting of some redactions, but disclosing the remainder would hurt national security or international relations.

The six documents in question include situational reports by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, an email reporting information provided by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations, handwritten notes and operational notes.

"The information does not provide the 'missing pieces of the puzzle' Ms. Meng seeks," Kane writes.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 25, 2020.

I bet the local police would love to party/skull 17 beers with Pangzai. So if it is only for having a VPN, maybe the higher ups sicced the police on him, and then the local cops just came round and got drunk with him.

All of this is conjecture, mind.

This is perfectly fine, usually restricted to National security, trade secrets etc. The judge would view the documents in full or near full within the scope of the request. Judge determined that it was irrelevant to her case. It's not evidence, she has no right to see it.

She suffered maybe some disappointment and racked up billable hours. Good if wasting time. Also bad as the well is dry. The judge is likely convinced than ever there is nothing illegal about her arrest or how the system has dealt with her and anything further about it would be denied.
