We need to work together, and not just on vaccines. Canada believes that a strong, coordinated response across the world and across sectors is essential.
This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset. This is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to re-imagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality and climate change.
Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams announced Sunday that "more than 600,000 Georgians have requested their mail ballots" for the Senate runoff elections on January 5, urging her followers to support the Democrat candidates.
Earlier this month, it was reported that those two Senate races in the Peach State could be some of the most expensive in history. One estimate said the spending could go beyond $200 million.
A November 12 report from the Wall Street Journal found that the two Republican candidates in Georgia had raised more than $32 million in a matter of six days after the National Republican Senatorial Committee combined with their campaigns.
With questions surrounding the integrity of this year's presidential election in Georgia, both Loeffler and Perdue have called on Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to resign over his handling of voting measures.
"The management of Georgia elections has become an embarrassment for our state. Georgians are outraged, and rightly so," a statement via Perdue and Loeffler read. "We have been clear from the beginning: every legal vote cast should be counted. Any illegal vote must not. And there must be transparency and uniformity in the counting process. This isn't hard. This isn't partisan. This is American."
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has also vowed to give $1 million to Loeffler and Perdue's reelection bids.
"Azerbaijan agreed to prolong the deadline for the withdrawal from Kalbacar of Armenian armed forces and of illegal Armenian settlers until November 25," Hikmat Hajiyev, an aide to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, told a news conference in Baku on November 15.
He said Aliyev had agreed on "humanitarian grounds" to grant an Armenian request for the delay following mediation by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Hajiyev said the timetable for the Armenian withdrawal from the Aghdam region on November 20 and the Lachin district by December 1 remains unchanged.
Residents of Kalbacar, a district in Azerbaijan that was controlled for decades by ethnic Armenians, have been leaving their homes since the peace deal was signed on November 10.Some residents set their homes on fire before leaving, RFE/RL's Armenian Service reported.© Wire Services/ Deutsche WelleArmenians torch their homes outside Nagorno-Karabakh
Kalbacar was populated mostly by ethnic Azeris before they were expelled by Armenians in the 1990s war following the breakup of the Soviet Union, and a majority of the homes being abandoned previously belonged to Azeris.
A key part of the Russia-brokered peace deal includes Armenia's return of Kalbacar and two other districts over the next 2 1/2 weeks. Like Kalbacar, those districts have been held by Armenian separatists since a war that ended in 1994.
While ending fighting that killed more than 2,000 soldiers and civilians on both sides, the deal announced on November 10 was rejected by many Armenians because it allows Azerbaijan to keep a sizable chunk of Nagorno-Karabakh, along with surrounding areas captured during the fighting.
The deal includes the deployment of 2,000 Russian peacekeepers in the region. Several hundreds have already arrived since the announcement of the truce, and Russia's Defense Ministry said on November 15 that they had set up 25 "observation posts" in the Lachin Corridor -- a mountain road pass that links Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia -- and two other areas to monitor the cease-fire.
Nagorno-Karabakh is recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but its majority Armenian population has governed its own affairs since Azerbaijani troops and Azeri civilians were pushed out of the region in the war in the 1990s.
[...]The obvious irony of it all is that most if not all of the violence we've been seeing has been coming from the Left.
The drama queens on the left flipped out when President Trump's coronavirus advisor pushed back on Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's severe coronavirus lockdown. They twisted the advisor's words by claiming he is "inciting violence" when he tweeted out to tell Americans to "rise up" against Governor Whitmer's orders:
"The only way this stops is if people rise up. You get what you accept. #FreedomMatters #StepUp"
[...]
Atlas had to clarify for the left that he never meant people should be violent. Figures that the left would assume such a thing since that's how they handle controversy.Hey. I NEVER was talking at all about violence. People vote, people peacefully protest. NEVER would I endorse or incite violence. NEVER!! https://t.co/LljvwMvjDV

Whitmer has been repeatedly defying court orders limiting her COVID shutdown powers.Breitbart is reporting that other Republican members of the House of Representatives are joining the cause:
And rumors swirl that another Whitmer Michigan shutdown is looming, perhaps starting on November 18 and lasting three weeks. A rumor that she would shut down the state on Friday came and went, though Whitmer held a very odd press conference where Whitmer and her advisors scolded family members not to hug on Thanksgiving.
Maddock told the Gateway Pundit: "Something had to be done. She's ruining this great state. Small businesses and most dine-in restaurants will be dead by the end of the year. She's caused the deaths of many vulnerable elderly people who died alone, scared, and pointlessly. This was long overdue," Maddock said.
State Rep. Matt Maddock (R) announced via Parler that he is joining with Reps. Daire Rendon (R), Beau LaFave (R), Ryan Berman (R), and Shane Hernandez (R) on the effort. He said incoming legislators Ken Borton (R) and Steve Carra (R) are supportive, as well.
State Sens. Dan Lauwers (R) and Lana Theis (R) are also backing impeachment, Maddock said.
Maddock posted a list of reasons for why he believed Whitmer should be impeached:
- Ignored court orders.
- Violated our Constitutional rights.
- Completely ignored due process and the legislature.
- Weaponized contact tracing databases to aid democrat campaigns.
- Using our kids as political pawns and denied special needs students who depend on the services that occur during in-person classes. Caused the unnecessary death of thousands of our vulnerable elderly who died alone and scared in nursing homes.
There are strongmen and dictators around the world who think that, 'I can do anything to stay in power. I can kill people. I can throw them in jail. I can run phony elections. I can suppress journalists.'Obama expressed hope that presumed president-elect Joe Biden would reaffirm to the world that Washington still has "values."
She began talking about a particular individual: Peter Neffinger.He is "president and on the board of directors of Smartmatic. And it just so happens he's on Mr. Biden's presidential transition team, that's going to be non-existent, because we're fixing to overturn the results of the election in multiple states," claimed Powell. And that was just to start. She connected Neffinger to the software she said was used to alter or remove votes in some way."President Trump won by not just hundreds of thousands of votes, but by millions of votes that were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for that purpose," she told Bartiromo. "We have sworn witness testimony of why the software was designed. It was designed to rig elections."
"They did this on purpose, it was calculated, they've done it before. We have evidence from 2016 in California, we have so much evidence I feel like it's coming in through a firehose," she continued.
Bartiromo asked how Powell intends to prove it, and she said she can't go into the details of their evidence on national TV. "I just can't do that."
"Okay but you have a very small timeframe here, the elections are supposed to be certified in early December. Do you believe that you can present this to the courts and be successful within just this couple of weeks?" asked Bartiromo.
"First of all, I never say anything I can't prove," she said. "Secondly, the evidence is coming in so fast I can't even process it all."
"This is a massive election fraud," she said, saying the software was used not just by Dominion but possibly other brand voting machines as well. "It's absolutely brazen how people bought the system, and why they bought the system."
She also called for a criminal investigation into every state that purchased the software.
Comment: The 'Great Reset' is only a 'conspiracy theory' when 'unapproved persons' talk about it.
Incidentally, Trudeau's comments about it briefly made 'Great Reset' trend on Twitter.
