As of Friday, 259,847 doses of vaccine have been administered in the province, including 192,131 first doses and 67,716 second doses. But just how safe are you on a single dose of the vaccine?

Dr. Joss Reimer, the medical lead of Manitoba’s vaccine implementation task force, said they based that decision on studies in British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, the U.K. and Israel. “All...

In modern America, we periodically offer up white men as human sacrifices to the PC gods. Among our benefactions: Jake Gardner, Kyle Rittenhouse, Darren Wilson, the Duke lacrosse players, University of Virginia fraternity members, Stacey Koon and Mark Fuhrman. The rest of us just keep our heads down and pray we won’t be next. At least the Duke and UVA human offerings were sufficiently upper-crust to have a few journalists and lawyers defending them. But policemen, bar owners, military veterans and a Midwest teenager? Definitely not our crowd, darling. Currently, Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is on trial for killing...

Thirty years ago, Jason Capps was a young man with ambition, but when he looked around this town near Pittsburgh, where he grew up, all he saw were opportunities slipping away. The coal mines where his father worked were dying; the glass, steel and manufacturing industries were on their last legs. In 1987, when Capps graduated from high school, the unemployment rate was at a staggering 12 percent. “My ability to carve out a future here was limited at best, impossible at worst,” he said. “So I left.” Capps, 51, became a chef and traveled the country honing his skills....

Speaking to Fox News’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum” on Thursday, Cammack said that the way the Trump administration handled the border “was the most humane, compassionate and normal way” of handling illegal immigration and “for putting Americans first, our national security first.” “Just 24 hours ago, I was there in Mission, Texas, and I saw first-hand young girls under the age of...

On Sunday, just hours after starting to run new, advanced centrifuges that can enrich uranium faster, Iran’s nuclear facility at Nantanz suffered what was termed a “suspicious” blackout. Speculation immediately began in the Israeli media that some kind of cyber attack had crippled the facility. It wouldn’t be the first time Nantanz had been targeted. In 2010, the Stuxnet worm wreaked havoc on the facility’s centrifuges, causing a huge drop in enriched uranium output. These new centrifuges could take the 20 percent enriched uranium that Iran already possesses and jack it up to bomb-grade levels (90 percent) in a matter...
