Jagmeet Singh paints Canadians protesting lockdowns as far-right extremists

https://tnc.news/2021/05/10/jagmeet-singh-paints-canadians-protesting-lockdowns-as-far-right-extremists/

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh claimed that Canadians lawfully protesting lockdowns and COVID-19 public health orders were connected to far-right extremists.

“To brazenly not follow public health guidelines puts people at risk and that is something that we’ve seen with extreme right-wing ideology,” said Singh on Monday.

“There is a connection, certainly.”

Singh’s comments echoed a similar statement by Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi who said over the weekend that protests against COVID-19 measures were “thinly veiled white nationalist supremacist” demonstrations.

“Those people at those anti-mask protests, let’s not kid ourselves, they’re not people who need to eat,” said Nenshi during an interview with The West Block.

“They are people who are marching in thinly veiled white nationalist supremacists anti-government protests, and they don’t deserve that kind of sympathy.”

Neither Nenshi or Singh followed up their claims by providing examples of protester’s supposed far-right connections.

Singh has also claimed without evidence that there are 300 active “far-right groups” operating in Canada right now. However, a True North fact check discovered that no research or documentation exists to support the claim.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, people have been showing up in droves to protest government orders and lockdowns at rallies across Canada. Anti-lockdown protests regularly take place in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver.

Elected officials from all levels have also banded together to call for an end to COVID-19 restrictions and a re-opening of the economy.

Earlier this year, Liberty Coalition Canada set up the End the Lockdown Caucus which has since grown to include dozens of current and former elected representatives from local, provincial and federal politics.

Taking back our planet: the War on Democracy flounders as Globalists shoot selves in foot

https://truth11.com/2021/05/11/taking-back-our-planet-the-war-on-democracy-flounders-as-globalists-shoot-selves-in-foot/

The freedom movement is winning the argument. Its numbers continue to grow as more and more concerned, patriotic citizens come aboard.

We are witnessing the birth of a new and powerful grass roots movement.

If we can build more unity and co-action (WITHOUT surrender of sovereignty) between us, we will win big.

Power is channeled or focused energy.

We have ideals and basic goals and dreams and guiding principles in common.

At April’s march in London, I could see the massive potential for a game- and world-changing grass roots movement. It seems to me the Globalists have shot themselves in the foot and they will rue the day they launched their current War on Democracy and their assault upon the human community.

But one thing we could strengthen so that we pack more punch, is to agree among us a core message that serves and forwards the various other messages we are putting out.

A core message agreeable to all of us and which helps the goals of our various groups, if we choose the right one – and if we relentlessly repeat it for these things work on repetition – will help as bring more people on board.

My suggestion is this: “YOUR GOVERNMENT IS LYING”.

This not only serves the purpose of all our groups but is a simple datum that is real enough to almost everybody.

We can observe that even while his War on Democracy is starting to flounder thanks to the heroic efforts of the wonderful people of our diverse and global Freedom Movement, the enemy has some successful actions we can emulate.

One of these is the use of simple sound bites and attention-grabbing headlines that are endlessly repeated. Like any advertising, implanting an idea works primarily on repetition.

These often work better than long, learned articles no matter how persuasive or eloquently expressed they are. Such things are apt for a particular audience but for the vast majority of people with other things going on in their lives, they don’t. But the sound bites, snappy paragraphs and headlines and repetitions do.

Well, we can do that and I think that if we do we will make greater inroads more swiftly through the desperately erected barricades if MSN and Big Tech censorship into the public consciousness. We already are. We just need to get a wriggle on and do so faster.

The enemy has other modus operandi. One such is lying but this is not in the long term successful and tends to backfire so we can skip that. Neither is such a modus operandi desirable if we wish to build a civilisation based on honesty and decency and the liberty that evolves naturally when we can all trust one another.

Besides, we have something more powerful to carry our messages through: one of these is sincerity. Another is a decent motive: we are trying to free Man, a purpose directly opposite to that of the Globalists whose goal is to un-free him.

So our simple messages have to be true and easy to demonstrate.

“Your government is lying” fits that bill. It is true and easy to prove, provided you can get the other person’s attention.

Furthermore, in routine discussion of the issues, it makes the GOVERNMENT the target and not the person we are having the discussion with.

It does not help to call people sheep or idiots or brainwashed or even imply it. It makes them wrong and people kick back against being made wrong. So let’s not make them wrong, let’s not even try to get them to change their mind or “see the error of their ways”. Let’s just skip all that and make the government the correct target. It is easier for someone to agree that SOMEONE ELSE is wrong (the government, Boris, whatever) than they themselves.

Besides, people are bombarded morning noon and night by a deluge of breathtakingly cynical lies, half truths, faked stats, carefully rigged reports and so forth that influence their decisions.

We need sharp pointy messages that cut right through that noise like arrows through carboard armour.

The government IS the source of those lies and it IS the villain of the piece, albeit we’ll probably find when we roll this back that the people who present themselves as the government are merely the stooges or front men for an even more slimy and corrupt hidden echelon of bankers and psychiatrists (scum rises to the top after all).

So instead of, “you are a brainwashed sheep”, which is almost guaranteed to make an enemy, or “you have killed your grandmother by urging her to have the vaccines”, why not skip all that and recognise that people are WRONGED not wrong.

And the government, through its stream of lies, is the source of the wrong.

Canadian March for Life features virtual Youth Conference with exciting speaker roster

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadian-march-for-life-features-virtual-youth-conference-with-exciting-speaker-roster

OTTAWA, Ontario, May 10, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The 2021 Canadian March for Life Youth Conference will take place on Friday, May 14 with an exceptional speaker lineup of pro-life advocates that event organizers expect to provide an informative online event.

“Our unique speakers will address the underlying causes of abortion, the degradation of sex, the adoption of a secular worldview, and, critically, what to do about it and how to become effective pro-life advocates,” Josie Luetke, Youth Coordinator for Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), told LifeSiteNews.

The 2021 National March for Life Youth Conference is titled “I Am With You,” with the online event taking place from 3 to 8 p.m. EST.

The free event will be hosted by CLC Youth and Niagara Region Right to Life one day after the in-person rally and march in Ottawa on May 13.

Hosts for the “I Am With You” youth event are Luetke, who is also a member of the National March for Life and Life Chain Canada organizing committees, and Mattea Merta, who works as a pro-life/family advocate as the Global Policy and Advocacy Advisor and United Nations representative with CLC.

Luetke told LifeSiteNews that because this year’s event is virtual CLC has been able to put together a “truly exceptional speaker roster that we otherwise probably would not have been able to swing.”

Luetke said the theme “I Am With You” was chosen so that event attendees would be equipped “with the knowledge and motivation they need to bring hope and truth to their peers."

Nova Scotia RCMP issue $74k in COVID fines at small town Weston Christian Fellowship Church

https://www.rebelnews.com/nova_scotia_rcmp_issue_74k_in_covid_fines_at_small_town_weston_christian_fellowship_church

RCMP in Nova Scotia charged more than two dozen adults for attending an illegal faith gathering at Weston Christian Fellowship Church in Weston this past Sunday.

According to the RCMP press release, the police arrived before the service and charged congregants after the gathering “continued against police direction.”

In total, RCMP charged 26 people $2,422 each under Nova Scotia's Health Protection Act, and fined the church $11,622.50.

Police had previously warned the congregation on May 2, 2021 that the province's gathering restrictions had changed to “no longer allow faith gatherings” after receiving a complaint.

In a statement obtained by CTV News, RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Chris Marshall said:

“Basically, anybody that was over the age of 16 was issued a fine. There were some children and things there, but the children weren’t issued fines.”

On Monday, Nova Scotia's chief medical officer of health Dr. Robert Strang, said “it’s disappointing that this happened, and I hope people understand that we’re not doing this because we want to, but it’s absolutely necessary to keep people safe.”

PMO on hotel quarantine science: “Some Canadians” can't self-isolate at home

https://www.rebelnews.com/pmo_on_hotel_quarantine_science_some_canadians_cant_self-isolate_at_home

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Parliamentary Secretary has responded to an order paper question on the science of forcing travellers to Canada to self-isolate in hotels with an explanation that some Canadians are not able to self-isolate in their homes.

The answer was returned in response to an order paper question from Conservative MP Tim Uppal (Edmonton—Sherwood Park).

On March 24, 2021, Uppal asked:

With regard to the Prime Minister's comments in the Chamber on March 23, 2021, that “We will continue to ground our decisions based in science and evidence”: what specific science or evidence does the government have that proves that quarantining at a hotel is safer than quarantining at home?

Last week, Parliamentary Secretary Greg Fergus returned the following scientific explanation (emphasis ours):

Our government have been clear since the pandemic began, no one should be travelling. Doing so can put the traveller and their loved ones at risk. Canada has some of the strictest travel and border measures in the world to keep Canadians safe.

However, with new variants of concern, we know that we need to take further steps to protect Canadians from COVID-19. This is why our government introduced further additional layers of protection such as testing and quarantine requirements for international travellers arriving to Canada’s air and land ports of entry. These measures are intended to protect Canadians from the COVID-19 variants of concern. Self-isolation is one of the most effective ways to stop the spread of COVID-19.

However, for some Canadians, self-isolating is not possible. They may not have enough room to self-isolate alone without putting themselves, their families, neighbours and ultimately Canadians at risk.

These measures will allow the government to further strengthen our border measures and these additional testing requirements will allow us to quickly detect new variants of concern. Our government is protecting the public’s health and preventing the spread of COVID-19 in our communities.

Singh’s anti-lockdown extremism accusations “despicable”: Bernier

https://tnc.news/2021/05/11/singhs-anti-lockdown-extremism-accusations-despicable-bernier/

People’s Party of Canada (PPC) Leader Maxime Bernier accused NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi of attempting to silence opposition to lockdowns after the two claimed anti-lockdown protests were tied to far-right extremism.

“There is nothing new in attempts by the authoritarian far-left to deplatform and cancel people with whom they disagree. What’s new now is that there seems to be a concerted effort to silence opposition to lockdowns using the same old trick of calling people racist and white supremacists,” Bernier told True North.

“Singh, Nenshi and other politicians and commentators are all of a sudden claiming that tens of thousands of ordinary Canadians who demonstrate against ineffective and disastrous lockdown policies are dangerous extremists. This is despicable.”

Bernier has been a regular staple at anti-lockdown rallies across Canada. Most recently, the PPC leader travelled to Saskatchewan to attend a freedom rally in Regina where he and others were ticketed $2,800 for violating COVID-19 public health orders, according to the Western Standard.

The ticket is the second the PPC leader has received, having been charged for similar violations in Peterborough, Ontario earlier this year.

As a former MP and minister, Bernier was also an early member of the Anti-Lockdown Caucus, which has grown to include several dozen former and current elected officials who are opposed to government COVID-19 measures.

On Monday, Singh told reporters that there was “certainly” a connection between anti-lockdown protests and far-right extremism.

“To brazenly not follow public health guidelines puts people at risk and that is something that we’ve seen with extreme right-wing ideology,” said Singh.

Similarly, during a weekend interview, Nenshi called the protests “thinly-veiled white nationalist supremacist” demonstrations.

According to Bernier, Canadians should be more concerned about Singh’s alleged connections to extremism.

“Singh himself has well-documented links to Khalistani terrorist sympathizers. He also tweeted a glowing message of admiration for communist tyrant and mass murderer Fidel Castro when he died. Singh has more connections to dangerous extremists than anyone in the anti-lockdowns movement. He’s a threat to Canadian democracy, not those who want their normal lives back,” Bernier told True North.

Currently, the PPC leader is facing accusations of racism after court documents allege that Bernier made racial comments towards Singh in 2018.

The allegations are part of an ongoing defamation lawsuit by Bernier against political strategist Warren Kinsella, who Bernier claims was hired by the Conservative Party of Canada to smear him and his party as racists. Bernier has since denied the allegation.

Guilbeault cites government-funded groups to bolster Bill C-10

https://tnc.news/2021/05/11/guilbeault-cites-government-funded-groups-to-bolster-bill-c-10/

During an exchange in Question Period on Tuesday, Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault cited a number of Canadian cultural organizations as supporters of Bill C-10 without revealing that they received government funds.

Guilbeault cited nearly a dozen French and English organizations that have spoken out in support of the Liberal government’s Bill C-10 in response to a question by Conservative Party MP Alain Reyes.

“The only reason we’re in this mess is because of his inability to deliver a decent bill. If his latest public statements are any indication, he’s doing nothing to dispel people’s doubts. Why does the minister insist on playing petty politics with free speech advocates as he just did by attacking freedom of expression?” asked Reyes in French.

“I want to thank my honourable colleague for giving me this opportunity to name some of the many organizations that have already supported Bill C-10,” replied Guilbeault before listing a number of friendly organizations.

Included in Guilbeault’s list of supporters were at least four organizations that have received thousands in federal grants since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was elected in 2015.

One organization referenced by Guilbeault, the Professional Music Publishers Association of Canada (Association des professionnels de l’édition musicale-APEM,) was awarded $10,631 by Canadian Heritage as recently as March 5, 2021.

“This financial support enables the recipient to undertake new or expanded international business development promotion activities, in a given sector, for the benefit of its entire industry (member and non-member firms),” wrote the funding agreement description.

Similarly, the Quebec English Language Production Council was also referenced as supporters of the bill. The Council is a member organization of the Quebec Community Groups Network which has received a whopping $5,433,749 from Canadian Heritage between 2017 and 2019.

Another group cited by Guilbeault was the League of Canadian Poets, to which the government endowed $67,088 between 2016 and 2018.

Guilbeault also once again cited the Coalition for Diversity of Cultural Expression as supporters for the bill despite past reports revealing that the organization received a federal grant from the Liberal government totalling $375,000 in 2019.

According to Guilbeault, the purpose of the law is to modernize the Canadian Broadcasting Act and protect Canadian content creators.

Guilbeault is currently facing backlash for Bill C-10 after a Liberal-led committee voted to slash an amendment from the legislation which was designed to protect the content of ordinary users from being subject to CRTC regulation.

Stephen Harper condemns Hamas attack on Israel as Trudeau remains silent

https://tnc.news/2021/05/11/stephen-harper-condemns-hamas-attack-on-israel-as-trudeau-remains-silent/

Former prime minister Stephen Harper has condemned the terrorist group Hamas for launching hundreds of rockets at Israel in a new wave of aggression.

Harper took to Twitter Tuesday to condemn the unprovoked attacks on Israel which have resulted in multiple civilian deaths.

HORRIFIC SCENES OUT OF ISRAEL OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS AS CIVILIANS SHELTER FROM A BARRAGE OF TERRORIST ESCALATION. ATTACKS ON THE STATE OF ISRAEL ARE ATTACKS ON US ALL AND MUST BE IMMEDIATELY CONDEMNED BY INTERNATIONAL LEADERS. I PRAY FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE IN THE REGION.

— Stephen Harper (@stephenharper) May 11, 2021

“Horrific scenes out of Israel over the last 24 hours as civilians shelter from a barrage of terrorist escalation,” he said.

“Attacks on the State of Israel are attacks on us all and must be immediately condemned by international leaders. I pray for the safety of everyone in the region.”

On Monday, Hamas began firing rockets into Israel from its the Gaza strip. At least five Israelis have thus far killed, with Israel retaliating with airstrikes that have killed at least 15 Hamas militants.

The rocket attacks began after weeks of clashes between Israeli police, Palestinian groups and Jewish groups over control of a disputed neighbourhod in Jerusalem.

INTERCEPTED:

TERRORISTS RECENTLY FIRED ANOTHER BARRAGE OF ROCKETS FROM GAZA TOWARD THE ISRAELI CITY OF ASHKELON.

WE INTERCEPTED THE ROCKETS WITH THE IRON DOME AERIAL DEFENSE SYSTEM, AND ARE NOW STRIKING HAMAS TERROR TARGETS.

While Harper condemns the attacks on Israel, the current Liberal government has remained quiet as the situation escalates.

As of Tuesday evening, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had not made any public statements on the rocket attacks or previous clashes in Jerusalem.

Conservative leader Erin O’Toole condemned the “frightening” attacks in a statement Tuesday.

“Canada’s Conservatives strongly condemn the frightening campaign of rocket attacks by Hamas,” O’Toole said. “These terrorist attacks are indiscriminately targeting civilians and have already taken innocent lives. They must end immediately.”

CANADA’S CONSERVATIVES STRONGLY CONDEMN THE FRIGHTENING CAMPAIGN OF ROCKET ATTACKS BY HAMAS. THESE TERRORIST ATTACKS ARE INDISCRIMINATELY TARGETING CIVILIANS AND HAVE ALREADY TAKEN INNOCENT LIVES. THEY MUST END IMMEDIATELY. READ MY FULL STATEMENT:

— Erin O'Toole (@erinotoole) May 11, 2021

While Trudeau has remained silent, Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau did issue a statement on the clashes in Jerusalem on Saturday, calling for both sides to back down.

Garneau noted his government is concerned that Israel’s claim to the disputed neighbourhood may undermine the possibility of a two-state solution.

“Canada is following the situation in Jerusalem closely. We call for immediate de-escalation of tensions and for all sides to avoid any unilateral actions,” he said.

“Canada is committed to the goal of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East, including the creation of a Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with Israel.”

Halt to non-emergency surgeries in Ontario creates 3.5 year backlog

https://tnc.news/2021/05/11/halt-to-non-emergency-surgeries-in-ontario-creates-3-5-year-backlog/

Ontario’s decision to halt non-emergency surgeries earlier this year has resulted in a backlog that could last years and cost taxpayers an additional $1.3 billion in extra costs.

In a report released Monday by the Financial Accountability Office (FAO) of Ontario, the independent organization determines that by September there will be a backlog of 419,000 elective surgeries and 2.5 diagnostic million procedures.

At the current rate, it will take 3.5 years to end the backlog.

“For context, in 2019, Ontario hospitals completed 649,300 elective surgeries and 4.3 million non-emergent diagnostic procedures,” the report reads.

“This means that the surgical and diagnostic backlog is expected to reach nearly two-thirds of total annual volume for all elective surgeries and non-emergent diagnostic procedures in a normal year.”

In April, Ontario hospitals were instructed to stop all non-emergency surgeries as the province faced a surge of COVID-19 cases.

The FAO estimates the cost to clear the backlog will be $1.3 billion, more than double the $610 million originally budgeted for by the Ford government.

The president of think-tank SecondStreet.org Colin Craig says the FAO report exposes the dire situation in Ontarian healthcare and the need for reform.

“The numbers from Ontario are quite staggering – both in terms of the volume of surgeries that were postponed and the estimate that it will take 3.5 years to clear the backlog. This past September the Ford government told us they had no idea how big the backlog was. Fortunately, they now seem to have an estimate.”

Craig notes that other countries addressed the backlog for procedures by making use of private health services which are not available to Ontarians.

“The big question is – will the Ford government relax its iron grip on health care in the province? Countries with shorter waiting lists than Canada give patients a choice – use the public health care system or pay out-of-pocket at a private clinic,” he said.

“If the Ontario government followed suit and allowed patients to use non-government clinics, they could reduce their backlog faster as some patients choose to pay out-of-pocket.”

B.C. Supreme Court sets Meng Wanzhou's final court dates

https://www.rebelnews.com/bc_supreme_court_sets_meng_wanzhous_final_court_dates

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has set June 29 and 30 for a hearing on whether to admit new evidence in the trial of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou.

The court originally expected to hear final arguments this month.

According to a report from CTV News,

The court also confirmed that the final leg of hearings in the extradition case will begin Aug. 3, although that date could be pushed back a week if the evidence is admitted.

That hearing is expected to take up to three weeks and will cover arguments over whether Meng was subjected to an abuse of process, the remedy related to that alleged abuse, and the actual committal hearing to determine if she should be extradited to the United States.

The South China Morning Post added that Meng’s lawyers say the material is “copious”.

Meng is the chief financial officer of Huawei, the world’s largest telecommunications company, which has also been designated a National Security Threat by the U.S. Federal Communication Commission.

In 2018, Meng was arrested in Canada on charges of fraud and conspiracy, after the U.S. alleged that she and Huawei misled the bank of HSBC in connection with possible violations of American trade sanctions against Iran.

Just nine days later, Communist China vindictively snatched up and detained two Canadian civilians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, who are still suffering in cells while Meng lives a life of luxury in Vancouver.

Federal employees working from home bill taxpayer thousands for desk, foot mats

https://tnc.news/2021/05/12/federal-employees-working-from-home-bill-taxpayer-thousands-for-desk-foot-mats/

Federal employees spent $36.3 million on new office equipment for working at home, with some employees billing taxpayers thousands for single pieces of furniture, the government says.

First reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, in an Inquiry of the Ministry tabled this week, cabinet released data showing how some of the $36.3 million was spent.

One unidentified manager in the Department of Agriculture spent $2,815 on a single desk. A manager in the Department of Indigenous Services spent $1,160 on an “ergonomic work chair.”

“This is a lot of money. People lose sight of these items but it all adds up,” Conservative MP Kerry Diotte, who requested the data, told Blacklock’s.

Various departments spent staggering amounts on equipment. The Department of Agriculture spent $179,925 on headsets and the Department of Finance spent $3,029 on “anti-fatigue mats.”

“When you start looking at expenditures like a $2,800 adjustable desk, that really hits home,” Diotte said.

“We all know what desks cost.”

During the beginning months of the pandemic, the vast majority of federal employees were made to work from home.

Federal employees received over $1.1 billion in paid leave 2020, with 94,000 federal employees also receiving 6.64% pay hikes as part of new tentative agreements with PSAC.

Last year, the Department of Public Works offered federal employees the choice of a new work chair or $500 to buy their own.

Majority of Canadians support freedom of speech over Bill C-10: poll

https://tnc.news/2021/05/12/majority-of-canadians-support-freedom-of-speech-over-bill-c-10-poll/

A new poll by Public Square Research and Maru/Blue reveals that an overwhelming majority of Canadians would choose defending their right to freedom of expression over Bill C-10’s goal to promote Canadian content on social media platforms.

According to news outlet The Hub, 73% of Canadians chose free speech when asked to pick between the bill and their rights.

The Liberal government has been recently reeling from a public outcry over the law, which was drafted with the purpose of modernizing Canada’s Broadcasting Act to meet the current digital landscape of media.

Opposition to the bill reached its highest after Liberal members of the House of Commons heritage committee voted to strip an amendment from the legislation which served to protect the content posted by ordinary social media users from regulation by the CRTC.

Experts like University of Ottawa Law Professor and Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law Michael Geist have argued that Bill C-10 is the “most anti-Internet” legislation in Canada’s history.

Further, the former vice-chair of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission called the government’s internet regulation bill a “national embarrassment.”

Additionally, the poll found that 72% of Canadians had no knowledge of the legislation or were barely aware of it.

Of those who knew about the law, 38% were very unsupportive of it and an additional 15% said they were somewhat unsupportive. On the other hand, 11% were very supportive of Bill C-10 and 20% were somewhat supportive.

The poll surveyed 1,508 Canadians online over the weekend of April 30, 2021.

Conservative members of the heritage committee have pushed for Minister Guilbeault to appear before the committee to answer questions regarding the bill while also requesting a legislative review by the Justice Ministry to ensure that the law complies with Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Guilbeault recently claimed that Canada’s cultural community is supportive of the bill. As revealed by True North, Guilbeault cited several organizations which have received government funding as supporters of the law without revealing the conflict of interest.

Among the groups cited by Guilbeault was the League of Canadian Poets, to which his ministry awarded $67,088 between 2016 and 2018.

Data show rural violent crimes are up in BC’s Okanagan: RCMP

https://tnc.news/2021/05/12/data-show-rural-violent-crimes-are-up-in-bcs-okanagan-rcmp/

BC’s Okanagan is experiencing a surge in violent rural crime, newly released RCMP statistics show.

According to Penticton RCMP detachment Supt. Brian Hunter, an increase in violent crimes such as assaults and threats have been especially concerning.

“It’s concerning, the level of violence happening in the community,” Hunter told the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen board last week.

Violent crimes specifically in rural areas have increased by 10%, with a greater increase of 18% in the city region.

Meanwhile, the incident rate of uttering threats has also jumped by 63% in comparison to last year. Break and enters were also higher this year by 24%.

According to Hunter, the “pandemic effect” and the region’s homelessness issues have contributed to the worrying increase.

A high quantity of calls were found to be related to a controversial homeless winter shelter located on Winnipeg St in Penticton, BC. According to the RCMP, police responded to 290 calls at the shelter in the first quarter of 2021.

In April, Conservative MP Blaine Calkins introduced a bill to the House of Commons to address the issue of rural crime.

Bill C-289 hopes to alter the Criminal Code to add as an aggravating circumstance evidence that a crime was directed at somebody who was “vulnerable because of their remoteness from emergency services and, for the purposes of some offences, the fact that a person carried, used or threatened to use a weapon or an imitation of a weapon.”

“Rural Canadians too often don’t feel safe in their own homes. Many have been victimized so often they’ve given up reporting property crime. It is often difficult for people to get affordable insurance if they can get it at all,” said Calkins in the House of Commons.

“My constituents are tired of being victims, they’re tired of the revolving door of the justice system, and of crime not being taken seriously. They are losing faith in the justice system, because too often it puts criminals before victims and their families.”

Toronto councillor who wants white men off currency supported Jack Layton statue

https://tnc.news/2021/05/12/toronto-councillor-who-wants-white-men-off-currency-supported-jack-layton-statue/

The Toronto city councillor who put forward a motion to request the Bank of Canada and the Royal Canadian Mint to replace “white and male politicians” from Canada’s currency supported and unveiled a statue commemorating late NDP leader Jack Layton.

In August 2013, Paul Ainslie attended and spoke at an event to unveil the bronze sculpture of Layton at Toronto’s Jack Layton Ferry Terminal.

At the time, Ainslie commented the statue “enhanced” the city and was a “positive” message to Torontonians.

“We are pleased to see this area enhanced by the infusion of art,” Councillor Ainslie remarked at the unveiling.

“This sculpture and message work together to create a positive greeting to all enjoying our City’s waterfront parks and Islands.”

At the time, Ainslie made no comment about equal representation or the need to diversify Canada’s image.

True North reached out to Ainslie to inquire whether he supported equal representation in public art or memorials but did not hear back by the time this article was published.

On May 5, the Toronto City Council unanimously passed Ainslie’s motion entitled “Diversification of Depictions on Canadian Coins and Bills to better reflect a more Heterogeneous and Inclusive Society.”

“In the pursuit to better reflect a more heterogeneous and inclusive society this Motion speaks to our currency being overrepresented by politicians, most of whom are white and male, underrepresenting persons who have contributed to other fields of great importance to our society,” Ainslie’s motion says.

“Our currency does not reflect our current multiracial, gender diverse and multicultural reality as a nation.”

Canada’s currency already features several depictions of women including Queen Elizabeth II and Canadian black rights activist Viola Desmond, who was added to Canada’s $10 bill in 2016.

Trudeau says Conservatives “look for conspiracy theories” on Bill C-10

https://tnc.news/2021/05/12/trudeau-says-conservatives-look-for-conspiracy-theories-on-bill-c-10/

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Conservative critics of Bill C-10 of playing into “conspiracy theories” for having concerns about the legislation’s impacts on freedom of expression.

Trudeau made the comments during an exchange with Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre during Question Period on Wednesday.

“The prime minister would like to pass a bill that would allow his Canadiana czar to determine what is Canadian enough. That czar would be able to manipulate algorithms to decide what people see when they open up their various online platforms. So this czar is going to have so much power, can the prime minister tell us who in fact this czar will be?” asked Poilievre.

Poilievre was referencing a CTV News interview in which Liberal Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault said a “body of experts” at the Canadian Radio‑television and Telecommunications (CRTC) would determine what specific content would be regulated.

“Once again Conservatives demonstrate that they have no understanding and no appreciation of the Canadian cultural industry. The thousands upon thousands of jobs created by Canadian production, the work done by Canadian YouTubers, the work done by Canadian musical artists and producers,” replied Trudeau.

“These are the things we are supporting in enforcing web giants to recognize and support Canadian content. Once again Conservatives don’t line themselves up with content creators or Canadians, they pick fights and look for conspiracy theories.”

The Liberals introduced Bill C-10 as a way to modernize Canada’s Broadcasting Act and to force multinational web giants like Facebook to pay for Canadian content and news. However, a recent decision to strip the bill of an amendment which served to protect the content posted by ordinary users from CRTC regulation has sparked public outrage over the bill.

This isn’t the first time the Trudeau Liberals have accused the Conservatives of pushing conspiracy theories.

Last week, Trudeau accused the Conservative Party of having “tinfoil hats” for raising concerns about the Liberal government’s internet censorship bill.

Further, in recent weeks, Guilbeault has opted for name-calling and painting critics as extremists instead of addressing the root issues present in the bill.

Several prominent experts and critics have already spoken out against the law including former CRTC vice-chair Peter Menzies, who called the legislation a “national embarrassment” for Canada.

“Guibeault could have taxed the web giants without regulating the internet but he got greedy. His reach having exceeded his grasp, Bill C-10 is still — despite his promises of a death bed conversion — a national embarrassment and Canada’s cultural sector needs to do the right thing and step away from it,” wrote Menzies in a Financial Post op-ed.

Anti-lockdown rodeo did not cause any new COVID-19 cases

https://tnc.news/2021/05/12/anti-lockdown-rodeo-did-not-cause-any-new-covid-19-cases/

A rodeo held in protest of lockdowns in Alberta has not resulted in any new cases of COVID-19.

In a statement, Alberta Health Services (AHS) wrote that no cases have been associated with the event but warn it is still possible spread may have occurred.

“AHS has worked with RCMP, the Bowden Agriculture Society and Red Deer County to confirm the rodeo event was in violation of CMOH Orders, and attempted to work with organizers proactively to not allow the event to proceed,” AHS said.

“At this time there are no cases directly linked to the rodeo event; however it is important to remember that symptoms may take up to 14 days to appear after exposure. In some cases, symptoms may be mild and individuals may not seek out COVID-19 testing.”

On May 1-2, approximately 4,000 people gathered on private property in rural Red Deer County to hold the No More Lockdowns Rodeo Rally. The event was hosted entirely outdoors. In the past, public health experts have indicated that the spread of COVID-19 is rare outdoors.

The rodeo was harshly attacked by Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, calling the event disturbing and its attendees “selfish.”

Following the rally, the organizers of the rodeo Ty and Gail Northcott were charged with violating the Public Health Act. The couple are due to appear in court on May 17.

The Northcotts are a multi-generational rodeo family that have owned a ranch near Bowden, Alta. since the 1980s.

On May 6, a court gave AHS a preemptive injunction to stop various gatherings and rallies that violate public health orders across the province. The injunction effectively prevents such events from being held in the future without an immediate response by law enforcement.

https://tapnewswire.com/2021/05/eric-clapton-after-covid-vaccination-i-should-never-have-gone-near-the-needle/

Monotti Protocol Producer Robin Monotti Graziadei today forwarded a message he received from singer Eric Clapton in which Clapton reports adverse reactions he suffered after submitting to the shot, regrets having undergone the procedure, and asks, “where have all the rebels gone?”

The message reads:

I am an old timer, I have survived, with great help, addiction and alcoholism, and stand now in the greatest dilemma of my life…

I have inwardly stood against our ‘elected leaders’ since brexit, intuitively doubting their integrity and character…

With the arrival of C-19 I hoped that C Henegan, S Gupta and Jay B would lead the way, but when imperial college stepped up with their jailers key, I knew we were in deep trouble…

I am a man of faith, albeit abstract, and what I felt and saw unfold in March ‘20 began to lead me away from govt rhetoric and the devotion of the general public to the PM and his cronies…

I looked for heroes in the house, and found C Walker, Desmond Swayne, and in unfortunate retirement, Lord Sumption…

On YouTube I found Hugotalks and Talk Radio… that was all….

Then I was directed to Van M, that’s when I found my voice, and even though I was singing his words, they echoed in my heart…

I recorded “stand and deliver” in 2020, and was immediately regaled with contempt and scorn…

In February this year, before I learned about the nature of the vaccines, (and being 76 with emphysema) I was in the avant garde. I took the first jab of AZ and straight away had severe reactions which lasted ten days, I recovered eventually and was told it would be twelve weeks before the second one…

BREAKING: Bill Morneau broke Conflict of Interest law in WE Org dealings: Ethics Commissioner

https://www.rebelnews.com/bill_morneau_broke_conflict_of_interest_law_in_we_org_dealings_ethics_commissioner

Justin Trudeau's former finance minister Bill Morneau was found to have broken ethics law in his dealings with the WE Organization during his time as a Liberal Party of Canada cabinet minister.

According to the report,

The examination found the relationship between Mr. Morneau and WE included an unusually high degree of involvement between their representatives and afforded WE unfettered access to the Office of the Minister of Finance, which amounted to preferential treatment. Commissioner Dion also found that the preferential treatment was based on Mr. Morneau's relationship with Mr. Craig Kielburger, the co-founder of WE. Not only was Mr. Kielburger a constituent, but Commissioner Dion also determined that he and Mr. Morneau were friends within the meaning of the Conflict of Interest Act (Act).

The findings were released this morning in the Morneau II Report​ by Commissioner Mario Dion.

“The focus of the examination evolved and included documentary evidence that suggested the existence of a relationship between Mr. Morneau and Mr. Kielburger, which predated the program developed as a result of the pandemic. I found Mr. Morneau to be in contravention of the Act,” noted Commissioner Dion.

“As soon as Mr. Morneau was advised that WE would likely play an important role in the student relief initiative, he should have recused himself from that point onwards from Cabinet discussions and decision making.”

Two UCP MLAs call for Jason Kenney’s resignation

https://tnc.news/2021/05/13/two-ucp-mlas-calls-for-jason-kenneys-resignation/

UCP MLA Todd Loewen is receiving support from at least one of his colleagues after calling for Premier Jason Kenney’s resignation in a scathing letter published early Thursday morning.

In his statement, Loewen announced he was resigning from his position as UCP caucus chair, stating that caucus cannot function properly under Kenney’s leadership.

“Many Albertans, including myself, no longer have confidence in your leadership,” Loewen wrote.

“Albertans perceive our government as out of touch and arrogant, and they expect our caucus to bring their issues of concern to the government. Many of us have tried to do so repeatedly only to be ignored and dismissed.”

Later Thursday morning, UCP MLA David Hanson wrote a Facebook post in support of Loewen, saying he has felt similar frustration from supporters. Both Hanson and Loewen were first elected under the Wildrose banner in 2015.

Kenney has faced criticism for his handling of various files, most notably the pandemic. In April, 15 UCP MLAs, including Loewen and Hanson, wrote an open letter criticizing Kenney’s decision to implement another lockdown.

Loewen wrote that UCP supporters are abandoning the party because of Kenney’s leadership. Rather than addressing the situation, Loewen claims the premier is sidelining and ignoring his MLAs.

“I no longer believe that caucus can function properly; meetings have been cancelled without members’ consent, significant decisions of government have been made without notice to members, and our input as elected members is rarely considered,” he said.

“When the premier chooses not (to) listen to caucus, is it any wonder why the people choose to stop listening to the government?”

“Our supporters and those I represent can no longer tolerate this. These folks have not abandoned the principles and values of the UCP, but they have abandoned you specifically.”

Loewen wrote that many other issues also motivated his decision to call for a change in leadership, including Kenney’s handling of negotiations with the federal government, healthcare, and coal mining.

Children not a ‘vector of transmission’ of COVID-19, nor at risk from it themselves

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/children-and-covid19

May 13, 2021 (Evidence not Fear) – Children are safe from COVID-19 and do not pass it on to relatives, teachers or friends. This short guide highlights the main facts that are backed up by credible mainstream sources.

No risk to children

COVID-19 poses no risk to children, even those in the vulnerable category. The chart below, using data from the Office for National Statistics, compares the number of deaths from young people in England and Wales in 2003 with COVID-19 in 2020. Although there have been deaths among children, those who died were already seriously ill.

England’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jenny Harries says that children are at more risk from flu or car accidents. Statistically speaking, they have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than dying of COVID-19.

Children do not pass on COVID–19

Evidence shows that children are not super spreaders or even a vector of transmission. Schools in Sweden were kept open for children 15 and younger and did not enforce masks or mass testing. It has had zero COVID-19 deaths among 1.8 million children and teachers didn’t have an excess infection risk.

A study of 100 institutions in the UK, one of the largest studies in the world on coronavirus in schools, has shown similar results. Professor Russell Viner, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: “A new study that has been done in UK schools confirms there is very little evidence that the virus is transmitted in schools.”

According to leading epidemiologist and SAGE member Mark Woolhouse, there has been no recorded case of a teacher catching the coronavirus from a pupil anywhere in the world. He told The Times in July 2020 that it may have been a mistake for the UK to close schools.

Strengthen the immune system

Being ‘too clean’ has long been known to create weaker immune systems. Exposure to germs at a young age helps strengthen a child’s ability to mount a defense against pathogens. Professor Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology at Oxford, says: “evidence is mounting that early exposure to these various coronaviruses is what enables people to survive them.”

The measures in place for COVID-19, such as social distancing and frequent use of hand gels, may end up making them more susceptible to disease. In fact, while hand hygiene is an important method of protecting against coronaviruses, overuse of gels and disinfectants may also be breeding superbugs.

No masks

There is no strong medical consensus on whether face masks help outside of health care settings. Further, there seems to be growing evidence that wearing masks at best gives a false sense of security and at worst end up making healthy people more susceptible to getting sick. Dr. Jenny Harries, the UK’s deputy chief medical officer, warned that masks could increase risk of infection: “For the average member of the public walking down a street, it is not a good idea…In fact, you can actually trap the virus in the mask and start breathing it in. Because of these behavioural issues, people can adversely put themselves at more risk than less.”

Professor Russell Viner says that not only is there very little evidence for the use of masks in schools, children could potentially spread the virus if they wear masks. This is because masks are intended to be used for short periods together with other personal protection equipment before disposal.

OTTAWA, Ontario, May 13, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life Canadians are currently marching for life in Canada’s capital of Ottawa, demanding an end to the country’s brutal abortion-until-birth regime. Canada has some of the most liberal abortion laws in the world.

“Even during an ongoing pandemic, the federal government continues to increase abortion funding overseas, abortion is prioritized as an essential service by the federal and provincial governments, and a majority of our parliamentarians voted to expand euthanasia and assisted suicide, despite exposed cracks in our health care system. This cannot go unopposed,” said Jeff Gunnarson, president of Campaign Life Coalition, which organized the march.

==Canada to follow USA down postal-ballot rabbit hole

How the “pandemic” is being used as an excuse to snuff out what little democracy is left in the Western world.==

https://off-guardian.org/2021/05/13/canada-to-follow-usa-down-postal-ballot-rabbit-hole/

The government of Canada is getting ready to amend its election laws to allow the counting of mail-in ballots after the polls have closed, and massively increase the country’s reliance on postal ballots.

According to a report from RebelNews.com, Canada is expecting to issue over 5 million postal votes during the upcoming election, an increase of over 5000% from the ~50,000 issued in the last election. They are also pushing Bill C-19 through parliament which would “temporarily” change election laws to, among other things, allow votes to be counted after polling day.

This was the same exact system that effectively allowed the most obviously rigged US election since 2000 to take place last November.

The covid “pandemic” maybe being used as the reason to change election laws, but it’s not the mechanism by which the votes themselves become much easier to fix. That title belongs to mail-in ballots.

Mail-in or postal ballots have long been the key to electoral fraud in the Western world, with experts warning for decades that they are incredibly vulnerable to fraud:

Vote by mail is more susceptible to corruption than voting at polling places [and] is amenable to manipulation by election officials.

Vote by Mail Doesn’t Deliver, Teresa James & Michael Slater

In fact, the last UK general election, which pre-dated the “pandemic” by a few weeks, was noteworthy for having a surprisingly lop-sided result, accompanied by an unexpected focus on postal ballots and obvious corruption and irregularities in the postal ballot system.

I wrote about this at length last year, when it became supremely obvious that the US election was going to be rigged using postal votes (spoiler alert: it was).

The same exact dynamic which was used to give Creepy Uncle Joe over 80 million votes in November is now being prepped in Canada.

Regional elections in the country have already been subject to weeks of delays and court battles thanks to the influx of postal voting.

This chaos mirrors exactly the fall-out of Biden’s “victory” in the US, and is obviously an important part of this new breed of “democracy”. Unreliable ballots, huge delays in reporting results all in the name of creating confusion and doubt and putting a final nail in the coffin of Western democracy.

“The new normal” for elections, if you will.

CBC loses copyright claim against Conservatives in federal court

https://www.rebelnews.com/cbc_loses_copyright_claim_against_conservatives_in_federal_court

A federal court has rejected the CBC's copyright claim against the Conservative Party of Canada, stemming from “attack ads” produced by the party using CBC clips in the lead-up to the 2019 federal election.

The summary of the judgement and decision reads, in part:

CBC brings this application in copyright infringement in respect of the use of their “Works” by the Conservative Party of Canada [Party or CPC] for what are commonly called “attack ads” shown at the time of the 2019 federal election.

The Works are brief excerpts of CBC news reports and the English-language federal leadership debate which the Party distributed in one advertisement and a series of four Tweets.

The principal legal issues in this matter are whether the Party’s use of CBC material constitutes taking a substantial part of CBC’s Works and whether the Party’s actions constitute fair dealings.

The Court concludes that the Respondents took, in respect of the Advertisement and Tweets, a substantial part of CBC’s copyrighted Works.

…The Court concludes that the Respondents’ use of the CBC Works was, on these facts, fair and dismisses the matter with costs at the usual scale.

CBC spokesman Leon Mar commented on the decision, stating that “out of context” partisan political videos undermine the public trust in the government broadcaster:

“From the beginning, our objective has been to protect the trust Canadians have in the independence of their public broadcaster,” [May] said in an email.

“We believe that misusing journalistic content and footage out of context in partisan political videos undermines that trust.”

Flashback to 2014: CBC sought ban after Boston bombers ads feat. Trudeau

Several years ago, Rebel News applied for access to information documents after the CBC sought a ban on political ads using their material after the Conservatives clipped Justin Trudeau's comment that the Boston Marathon bombers felt “completely excluded”.

Upon receipt of the documents (below), we revealed that the CBC's lawyers cautioned that they didn't have a case to enforce such a ban.

On page seven of the documents, a further email stated that the CBC has no right to reject an ad from a political party, and that copyright complaints would not be rejected by their own advertising standards.

UCP caucus chair Todd Loewen steps down, calls on Premier Kenney to resign

https://www.rebelnews.com/ucp_caucus_chair_todd_loewen_steps_down_calls_on_premier_kenney_to_resign

United Conservative Party caucus chair Todd Loewen has stepped down from his position, while also calling for Alberta Premier Jason Kenney to resign.

In a message posted to his official Facebook page, the MLA representing the Central Peace—Notley riding said he no longer had confidence in Premier Kenney to steer the province in the right direction.

“I no longer believe that caucus can function properly,” Loewen wrote. “Meetings have been cancelled without members' consent, significant decisions of government have been made without notice to members, and our input as elected members is rarely considered.”

Weeks ago, Loewen was one of 17 UCP MLAs who signed a letter highly critical of Kenney for throwing the province back into more stringent lockdown measures. The dysfunction among the ranks of the government, Loewen said, was driven by poor leadership on Kenney's behalf.

“Messaging from your government has been contradictory, confusing and needlessly inflammatory,” Loewen said. Kenney, the Western Standard reported, had spoken to caucus about his desire to “have a new base” following a rodeo held in protest against the province's lockdown restrictions.

Kenney slammed those who attended, saying that it was “disturbing to see large numbers of people gathering” in violation of public health measures. “Not only are gatherings like this a threat to public health, they are a slap in the face to everybody who is observing the rules to keep themselves and their fellow Albertans safe,” Kenney said in a statement on Twitter.

As of now, around two weeks after the rodeo event, there have been no cases linked to the large outdoor gathering. The organizers of the event, however, have received summonses to court.

Loewen felt Albertans have lost faith in Kenney's leadership, and now “perceive our government as out-of-touch and arrogant.”

“When the Premier chooses not to listen to caucus, is it any wonder why the people choose to stop listening to the government?” Loewen wondered in his letter to the premier.

The former Wildrose Party MLA said that he felt those who have abandoned their support for Kenney had not given up on supporting the policies that the UCP stands for, but rather on the premier himself.

“I know many Albertans, including myself, no longer have confidence in your leadership,” Loewen said in the closing remarks of his letter.

“I thank you for your service, but I am asking that you resign so that we can begin to put the province back together again.”

Jordan Peterson takes aim at Trudeau over controversial internet censorship bill

https://www.rebelnews.com/jordan_peterson_takes_aim_at_trudeau_over_controversial_internet_censorship_bill

Outspoken Canadian psychology professor Jordan Peterson has hit back at the Trudeau government over Bill C-10, which attempts to regulate content published on the Internet. As previously reported on Rebel News, the bill seeks to provide Canada’s telecommunications regulatory body, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, with the ability to censor content published on the web.

Peterson, best known for his book 12 Rules for Life and for his efforts in fighting back “woke” culture, leveled his critique at Justin Trudeau, stating, “Just try and regulate my YouTube channel and see what happens.”

Aiming at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Peterson wrote that he has “a million more YouTube subscribers” than the state-funded organization.

“I have a million more YouTube subscribers than our national broadcaster CBC,” wrote Peterson. “So does that make me a broadcaster to be regulated by Trudeau's pathetic minions? Or does it just indicate that CBC is a failure, despite the fortune it takes in in public subsidy?”

"CBC, your heavily subsidized but once admired and credible state broadcaster is now ideologically addled, propagandistic, outdated and increasingly despised or ignored,” he added. “And now you dare to extend your incompetent governance to other media forms?"

When it was initially proposed, Bill C-10 provided an exemption for user-made content from being subject to censorship but the clause has since been removed from the legislation. If the bill passes, the alteration of the bill impacts what Canadian users can say on the Internet.

UCP caucus votes to kick out MLAs Todd Loewen, Drew Barnes over Kenney criticism

Alberta’s United Conservative MLAs have voted to expel Todd Loewen and Drew Barnes from caucus over public disagreements with Premier Jason Kenney.

The vote took place Thursday evening after an emergency caucus meeting. UCP whip Mike Ellis said in a statement Barnes’ and Loewen’s outspoken criticisms “divide our party and undermine government leadership.”

“Members recognize the need for government caucus to remain strong and united behind our leader, Jason Kenney, as we continue to fight through what looks to be the final stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond,” Ellis said.

Loewen published an open letter Thursday morning announcing his resignation as UCP caucus chair and calling for Kenney to step down as premier.

“When the premier chooses not (to) listen to caucus, is it any wonder why the people choose to stop listening to the government?” Loewen wrote.

“Our supporters and those I represent can no longer tolerate this. These folks have not abandoned the principles and values of the UCP, but they have abandoned you specifically.”

Hours later, UCP MLA David Hanson wrote a Facebook post in support of Loewen, saying he has felt similar frustration from supporters. Expelling Hanson was apparently not debated.

While Barnes has never called for Kenney’s resignation, he has contradicted the premier multiple times in recent months.

Both Barnes and Loewen were among the 15 UCP MLAs who signed an open letter criticizing Kenney’s decision to implement another lockdown.

In another instance, Barnes and Kenney got into a very public dispute over whether Alberta should hold an independence referendum.

Speaking in an interview with 630 CHED radio on Thursday, Loewen said he was not trying to fracture the UCP, but added that he believes they could lose the next election if things do not change.

“The people are upset. They are leaving the party. We need to do what it takes to stop the bleeding,” he said.

“The majority of people I’m talking to, they want a strong UCP party. But they don’t see that they have that now. We need to have that so we can move forward and be able to form government in 2023.”

Erin O’Toole says his government will repeal Bill C-10, should it pass

https://tnc.news/2021/05/13/erin-otoole-says-his-government-will-repeal-bill-c-10/

If Bill C-10 becomes law, Conservative Party Leader Erin O’Toole says he will repeal the controversial internet regulation bill if he is elected Prime Minister.

According to O’Toole, the Liberals are “radically” altering how Canadians are expected to use the internet and could open the door for “massive abuse of power.”

“Canada’s Conservatives support creating a level playing field between large foreign streaming services and Canadian broadcasters, and championing Canadian arts and culture. A Conservative government would do so without compromising Canadians’ fundamental rights and freedoms,” said O’Toole in a statement released on Thursday.

“We are calling on Justin Trudeau to withdraw Bill C-10 today. If this is not done, a Conservative government will stand up for Canadians and repeal this deeply flawed legislation. While the NDP and the Bloc may look the other way on the freedom of expression, Canada’s Conservatives will not.”

Bill C-10 was drafted with the purpose of upgrading Canada’s Broadcasting Act to meet the realities of the current digital media landscape. However, a decision by Liberal members on the House of Commons heritage committee to strip the bill of an amendment that protects Canadian users from CRTC regulation has sparked national outrage.

Conservatives have since pushed for Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault to testify before the committee once again to answer questions about the bill’s scope. Over the last few weeks, instead of addressing opposition concerns, Guilbeault has resorted to name calling and accusations of extremism to silence criticism of the bill.

On Thursday, the Justice Ministry issued a new charter statement on the updated law claiming that the bill in its current form still upholds the rights of Canadians.

In response, outspoken critic of the bill and University of Ottawa Law Professor Michael Geist said that the statement doesn’t deal with the “central concern” people have about the legislation.

“Under Bill C-10, all user generated content is treated as a program subject to CRTC regulation. Never in Canadian history has the expression of so many people been treated as falling within the jurisdiction of a broadcast regulator,” wrote Geist.

“There are limits to CRTC power, but the fact it can prioritize or de-prioritize content in the name of discoverability has an impact on the expression of millions of Canadians. That necessarily invokes Charter considerations, but the statement doesn’t grapple with the issue.”

"There Is Zero Evidence" - Scientists Question Need For COVID 'Booster Shots' As Vaccine Makers Lock In Sales

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/there-zero-evidence-scientists-question-need-covid-booster-shots-vaccine-makers-lock-sales

Underlining the uncertainty surrounding SARS-CoV-2 and its many mutant offshoots (while offering a helpful reminder that Pfizer and Moderna are looking to maximize profits for their newest line of business) a group of scientists from around the world have banded together to push back against advanced marketing of COVID-19 booster shots and annual vaccines.

In what could be good news for the market's outlook on global growth, more than a dozen "influential infectious disease and vaccine development expert said there is growing evidence that a first round of global vaccinations may offer enduring protection" from COVID, and that the booster shots and flu-style annual vaccinations touted by Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla might not be necessary.

Additionally, some of the scientists "expressed concern" that public expectations about the vaccine "are being set by executives" and not other scientists. If pressed, we suspect many of these same executives would acknowledge that they have a "fiduciary duty" to their shareholders to maximize returns, which is why Pfizer is looking to transform its COVID vaccine business into a "durable business line."

Some of these scientists expressed concern that public expectations around COVID-19 boosters are being set by pharmaceutical executives rather than health specialists, although many agreed that preparing for such a need as a precaution was prudent.

They fear a push by wealthy nations for repeat vaccination as early as this year will deepen the divide with poorer countries that are struggling to buy vaccines and may take years to inoculate their citizens even once.

"We don't see the data yet that would inform a decision about whether or not booster doses are needed," said Kate O'Brien, director of the Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals at the World Health Organization (WHO).

O'Brien said the WHO is forming a panel of experts to assess all variant and vaccine efficacy data and recommend changes to vaccination programs as needed.

Pfizer Inc Chief Executive Albert Bourla has said people will "likely" need a booster dose of the company's vaccine every 12 months - similar to an annual flu shot – to maintain high levels of immunity against the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and its variants.

Former Obama Administration CDC head Dr. Tom Frieden was especially vehement: "There is zero, and I mean zero, evidence to suggest that that is the case."

"It's completely inappropriate to say that we're likely to need an annual booster, because we have no idea what the likelihood of that is," Frieden, who now leads the global public health initiative Resolve to Save Lives, said of Pfizer's assertions on boosters.

Unfortunately for countries like India and South Africa, which are crying out for more vaccines, the US, EU and Israel have already made deals with Pfizer and Moderna to acquire more vaccines later this year to keep on hand in case they need to be deployed as boosters. This means that developing economies, which have been left to duke it out in the international market, will have less supply to go around.

But outsiders aren't the only ones criticizing the scaremongering about vaccine boosters. Dr. William Gruber, Pfizer's senior vice president of vaccine clinical research and development, reportedly told Reuters that the predictions for yearly boosters were based on "a little evidence" of a decline in immunity over those six months, evidence which was since been countered with research showing antibody retention is more durable.

A Moderna scientist, meanwhile, said that boosters may be needed, and governments are right to stockpile jabs, while noting that ""All governments are in conversations with (Moderna) and other companies about boosters," he said.

We can't help but wonder: if the vaccine IP waiver proposal that India and South Africa have brought to the WTO does pass, and tech transfers are part of the deal, will 'Big Pharma' change its tune about the need to stockpile boosters?

School vaccination clinics and informed consent: putting children on the vaccine ‘assembly line’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/school-vaccination-clinics-and-informed-consent-putting-children-on-the-vaccine-assembly-line

At best, school based vaccination programs could be described as ‘assembly line’ medicine that overrides and ignores children’s legal right to make a voluntary, informed decision about the vaccine treatment they are submitting to. At worst, the Mature Minor doctrine as applied to children captive to public health dictates in the school setting, is a profound violation of the spirit and intent of ethical and legal norms in medicine.

Part 1: Tim Sullivan and the Ontario College of Teachers

In February of 2017, Ontario high school science teacher, Tim Sullivan, was called before a disciplinary committee of the Ontario College of Teachers for unprofessional conduct. The allegations against him are contained in the Notice of Hearing (pdf). He was found guilty and will find out what penalties he faces later in March. The Counsel for the Ontario Teachers has recommended a one-month suspension and anger management training

Sullivan’s concern was about proper informed consent procedures for students. As he told the Globe and Mail reporter, “I’m not an anti-vaxxer,” he said. “I’m pro-informed consent, pro-science, pro-asking questions.” Some of Mr. Sullivan’s students rallied around him by posting an on-line petition of support, which has received over 2,000 signatures to date.

The press (see here, here and here) ran the story under “anti-vaccine” headlines. An observer who attended the Hearing reported to us that the issue of proper informed consent procedures was never addressed at the hearing. Unfortunately, Mr. Sullivan did not have legal representation at the hearing. Apparently each time he attempted to discuss informed consent, the lawyer for the Ontario College of Teachers objected. As the local newspaper reports:

“An[sic] Norfolk science teacher accused of pushing anti-vaccination views, scaring students and berating a public health nurse has been found guilty of professional misconduct.

“Sullivan, a teacher at a Norfolk high school, denied the accusations, but admitted to leaving class once to speak with nurses and to telling one student that a side effect of one of the vaccines was death.

“He maintains that the students weren’t given proper information to consent to the vaccine, including information about potentially serious, but rare, side effects of the shots.”

The two allegations that stand out as most egregious in Tim Sullivan’s disciplinary case are that as a teacher he:

‘harassed’ public health nurses during an in school vaccination day for inquiring whether they provide students with the risk information listed in the vaccine product monograph prior to vaccination,

that he “abused” students by frightening them about vaccine risks.

Several obvious questions arise:

Why is it “harassment” for a science teacher to ask medical professionals if they obtain informed consent from students prior to injecting them with complex biochemical pharmaceutical products that carry a risk of injury and death for some?

Why would it be considered “abuse” of students when a science teacher initiates a discussion about published risks disclosed in the vaccine manufacturer’s product monograph about pharmaceutical products students may receive by injection in the school setting?

Why is published information which vaccine manufacturers are required by law to disclose prior to obtaining licensure for their vaccine products, forbidden to be discussed with students in the school setting?

Why is the concept of informed consent forbidden to be discussed with students?

Canadian university professor suspended without pay after challenging woke orthodoxy in online posts

https://8kun.top/qresearch/res/13583910.html#13660032

SACKVILLE, New Brunswick, Canada, May 14, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – A tenured professor and doctor of Psychology at a leading Canadian university has been suspended from teaching without pay after posting content online questioning the idea that Canada is sick with systemic racism, as well as criticizing Black Lives Matter (BLM), and challenging the widespread adoption of gender-neutral pronouns.

CBC reports that Dr. Rima Azar of Mount Allison University stated in a personal blog post: “NB [New Brunswick] is NOT racist. Canada is NOT racist. We do not have 'systemic' racism or 'systemic' discrimination. We just have systemic naivety because we are a young country and because we want to save the world.”

In regards to BLM, Azar (writing as 'Bambi') posted the following:

Thus, Dearest New Brunswick along with all its esteemed politicians, PLEASE be mindful of the following:

Bambi urges you not to fall into the trap of caving in to BLM‘s demands, as they will keep asking for more and more (e.g., see what happened in other cities in Canada). Indeed, this movement seems to function like any other radical group, including Islamism. Groups like BLM usually intimidate to get what they want. They infiltrate existing entities/organizations, and… brains! They do not stop. They just push and push. Even if at times they may deceive you by hiding their real agenda, they do not hesitate to use means that you and Bambi would never resort to.

This is why, please do not let Black Lives Matter (BLM) do to NB what Islamists have done to Bambi’s birth country and to its neighbourhood… or what they do to us in the Western’s world, including Canada.

One former student of Dr. Azar’s, who goes by the name of “Izzy”, saw the professor's blog and was offended by the posts. Izzy then posted her own tweets about the “offensive” posts and launched a formal complaint process at Mount Allison University against Azar.

‘Plausible’ link between J&J vaccine and blood clots, CDC says after confirming 28 cases, including 3 deaths

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/plausible-link-between-jj-vaccine-and-blood-clots-cdc-says-after-confirming-28-cases-including-3-deaths

May 14, 2021 (Children’s Health Defense) — Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Wednesday they see a “plausible causal association” between the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine and potentially life-threatening blood clot disorders after identifying 28 cases — including three deaths — among people who received the vaccine.

Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of the CDC’s immunization safety office, presented the new cases at a Wednesday meeting of CDC panel advisers, The New York Times reported.

Shimabukuro’s presentation identified 28 cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) among people vaccinated with the J&J shot. The cases were based on reports submitted to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, known as VAERS. TTS involves blood clots accompanied by a low level of platelets.

Shimabukuro said four of the 28 people with TTS remained in the hospital as of May 7, one of whom was in the ICU. Two were discharged to a post-acute care facility, 19 patients were discharged and three resulted in deaths.

Current evidence “suggests a plausible causal association” with the J&J vaccine and cases of TTS, Shimabukuro said.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is one form of TTS reported with J&J’s vaccine where clots form in the veins that drain blood from the brain, putting patients at risk for a stroke. The condition appears similar to what is being observed following administration of the AstraZeneca COVID shots in Europe, Shimabukuro said.

Most of the J&J cases in the U.S. were among women ages 18 to 49, and six cases were in men, the CDC said. Rates among women 30 to 39 years old and 40 to 49 were particularly high — 12.4 cases per million and 9.4 cases per million — according to the presentation.

Of the 28 TTS cases, 19 affected the brain, with 10 of those patients suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage, Shimabukuro said. The other clots formed in the lower extremities, pulmonary arteries or other areas of the body.

All of the patients received the J&J vaccine before the vaccine was temporarily paused on April 13.

Canadian head of public health: COVID restrictions to be lifted only when 75% are vaccinated

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadian-head-of-public-health-covid-restrictions-to-be-lifted-only-when-75-are-vaccinated

OTTAWA, Ontario, May 14, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — The strictest lockdown measures in North America were extended on Thursday as Ontario’s premier Doug Ford announced that “stay-at-home” rules will continue across the province until June 2.

Ontario schools, businesses, restaurants, and outdoor parks, including golf courses and tennis courts, have been closed, and citizens of the most populous province have been told not to leave their homes except for essential services since April 3.

Restrictions like these in various parts of Canada will only be lifted when 75% of Canadian adults have taken at least one dose of an experimental COVID vaccine and 20% have received two doses by mid-summer, said Theresa Tam, the head of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), though depression, anxiety, and unemployment have soared, and one in six businesses report that they are unlikely to survive these measures.

Restrictions will remain, even after vaccines

Even if 55% of adults get a first dose of the vaccine, that would result in the epidemic “resurging and overwhelming hospitals,” so lockdowns would remain in place, claimed Tam, presenting “modelling scenarios” of the future last month.

But even if three quarters of adults were vaccinated, Tam said she would still force Canadians to wear masks, practice social distancing, and isolate.

“At this point, restrictive measures could be gradually eased as long as adequate test, trace, isolate capacity and individual precautions are maintained,” she said.

U.S. dropping cases

The bar for freedom is extraordinarily high considering that in the United States, which has a surplus of vaccine and slumping demand, just 58.7% of adults over age 18 have received one COVID shot, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

At this much lower threshold, new COVID-positive case counts have nonetheless plummeted south of the border, the CDC reports. Even states that have eased or abandoned COVID restrictions altogether — including Texas, Mississippi and Georgia — show COVID infection and death rates dropping week on week, despite open businesses and absence of mask mandates.

COVID surges in vaccinated nations

Tam’s ultimatum is not supported by data from countries with strong uptake that are seeing COVID cases soar. The most vaccinated country in the world, Seychelles, an island in the Indian Ocean off Africa, with 62% of its population fully vaccinated, nonetheless saw new cases more than double recently, with 37% of infections occurring among those who have received two doses of a COVID vaccine.

Maldives is another island country where high vaccination status has not translated into COVID protection. There, 35% of the population has received two doses of the vaccine, but reported cases per 100,000 people spiked in the past five, seven and 14 days, nearly doubling.

Call for inquiry

Ontario judge forces Aylmer church to lock doors for skirting lockdown measures

https://tnc.news/2021/05/14/ontario-judge-forces-aylmer-church-to-lock-doors-for-skirting-lockdown-measures/

An Ontario court is forcing a defiant church in Aylmer, Ontario to lock its doors after the congregation repeatedly ignored public health orders and COVID-19 restrictions.

Justice Bruce Thomas passed down the ruling early Friday morning, citing Church of God Restoration Pastor Henry Hildebrandt’s past comments as “significantly aggravating.”

“The evidence makes it clear that Pastor Hildebrandt has control over his congregation,” said Justice Thomas.

“Henry Hildebrandt, as pastor of this church, is the leading force and unapologetic spokesperson for this offending activity.”

Hildebrandt and his congregation have been a prominent focal point in the debate around lockdowns in Ontario.

In Thomas’ ruling, the church was fined $35,000 while Hildebrandt received a fine of $10,000 along with an additional fine of $3,000 for Assistant Pastor Peter Wall.

Earlier this month, Trinity Bible Church of Waterloo was issued a similar order to lock its doors. Eventually that order was extended indefinitely due to the church’s opposition to lockdown measures.

Over the past year, Hildebrandt has continued to offer services to his congregation outside of the legal capacity restrictions currently in place for gatherings in Ontario.

As exclusively reported on by True North, this is not the first time that the government has attempted to have the church shut down.

In November, Aylmer’s local public health agency requested that the church voluntarily fetter its doors.

According to Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms lawyer Lisa Bildy, who represented the church in court, forcing the congregation to shut down is a “severe penalty.”

“Church is fundamental to these people, taking away their church is a severe penalty,” said Bildy.

The Church of God Restoration has also launched a constitutional challenge of lockdown measures alongside the Trinity Bible Church of Waterloo and the United Reform Church in Welland.

The court will hear the challenge on October 4, 2021 in St. Thomas, Ontario.

COVID Deaths — Putting the Numbers in Perspective

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/covid-deaths-numbers-in-perspective/

The Defender is experiencing censorship on many social channels. Be sure to stay in touch with the news that matters by subscribing to our top news of the day. It's free.

Every year roughly between 2.8 and 3 million people die in the United States — just under 1% of the population.

In some years, deaths exceed projections, for instance in a bad flu year. These extra deaths are characterized as “excess deaths.”

In February, the CDC reported it attributed 376,504 deaths in 2020 to COVID-19. Each death is regrettable, but to put that number in perspective, the COVID deaths in 2020 were actually lower than the 401,000 excess deaths in 2017 — a bad flu year.

This finding mirrors excess death data from other countries, where excess deaths were also higher in 2017 than in 2020.

A recent research paper in the prestigious journal, The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, points out these statistics and then an even more surprising claim:

“The comparison is more striking when years of life lost (YLL) is the measure used. Goldstein and Lee (11) estimate that the mean loss of life years for a person dying from COVID-19 in the United States is 11.7 y. Multiplying 377,000 decedents by 11.7 y lost per decedent gives a total of 4.41 M years of life lost to COVID-19 in 2020, only a third of the 13.02 million life years lost to excess mortality in the United States in 2017 (Table 1). The reason that the comparison is so much sharper for YLL than for excess deaths is that COVID-19 deaths in 2020 occurred at much older ages, on average, than the excess deaths of 2017.”

In other words, while more than 4 million years of life were lost in 2020, more than 13 million were lost in 2017. This echoes what many experts have been saying for months — COVID is comparable to a severe flu that disproportionately affects old people, but is less dangerous for young people even than the flu.

Some might claim COVID deaths would have been much worse without lockdowns and mask mandates. There is increasing evidence, however, that these non-pharmaceutical interventions had little or no effect on COVID mortality.

Good examples are South and North Dakota, two neighboring states with similar populations and almost identical COVID death curves (see data below), even though North Dakota instituted a state-wide mask mandate and restrictions on indoor activities last fall, while South Dakota did not.

CHD and The Defender Now in 5 Languages - Watch Now

A similar comparison exists between Florida and California, where Florida actually fared better after lifting state-wide restriction in September 2020, while California continued with strict lockdowns. (See graphs below).

In Europe, Sweden provides a counterpoint to the countries that chose hard lockdowns but had worse mortality outcomes.

The excess mortality numbers and COVID case numbers call into question the soundness of the public health response to the pandemic. The long-term consequences of the lockdowns have been catastrophic, in both economic and health outcomes.

Lockdowns put elderly people at increased risk in the long run, and deprive younger people of freedom without significant benefit. Worst of all, the long-term consequences of lockdowns and the public health response will last for decades to come.

Group of physicians opposes Canadian COVID response: We ‘will always put our patients first’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/group-of-physicians-opposes-canadian-covid-response-we-will-always-put-our-patients-first

May 14, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – A group of Canadian physicians published a declaration “For science and truth” in response to a recent statement from a provincial doctor’s college which said doctors must not speak their mind if that would contradict the “official” government response to COVID-19.

The group’s declaration is a direct response to a recent statement from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO), which was focused against doctors who take to social media to speak their minds freely in opposition to COVID-19 lockdowns.

The CPSO statement says that doctors who go against public health measures, vaccines, or promoting “unproven treatments for COVID-19,” will be investigated.

In response, several Canadian physicians declared, “On April 30, 2021, Ontario’s physician licensing body, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO), issued a statement forbidding physicians from questioning or debating any or all of the official measures imposed in response to COVID-19. The CPSO then went on to threaten physicians with punishment – investigations and disciplinary action. We regard this recent statement of the CPSO to be unethical, anti-science and deeply disturbing.”

“The CPSO must immediately withdraw and rescind its statement of 30 April 2021.”

The doctors group bills itself as a “broad and diverse group of Canadian physicians from across Canada,” who are sending out this “urgent declaration to the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of our various Provinces and Territories and to the Public at large, whom we serve.”

LifeSiteNews contacted the group to ask more about the declaration and the history behind it, but the group said they will not be doing interviews until next week.

The physicians’ declaration has been signed by 8,545 individuals at the time of this writing, with 312 of those signatures being from doctors. The declaration is open for the public to sign.

“We physicians believe that with the CPSO statement of 30 April 2021, a watershed moment in the assault on free speech and scientific inquiry has been reached,” reads the declaration. “We will never comply and will always put our patients first.”

Nova Scotia judge grants injunction to prohibit and arrest anti-lockdown protestors

https://tnc.news/2021/05/14/nova-scotia-judge-grants-injunction-to-prohibit-and-arrest-anti-lockdown-protestors/

A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge granted the province’s government an injunction to stop Canadians from protesting COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns.

According to Justice Scott Norton, the injunction also prohibits organizers from promoting the rallies on social media and allows authorities to arrest anyone who fails to follow the ruling.

“Their plan to gather in-person in large numbers, without social distancing and without masks, in contravention of the public health recommendations and orders shows a callous and shameful disregard for the health and safety of their fellow citizens,” said Norton.

A rally by the group “Freedom Nova Scotia” was planned to be held at Citadel Hill, Halifax on Saturday afternoon and another one was scheduled later that day in Barrington.

In the decision, Norton described anti-lockdown rally organizers as “uninformed or wilfully blind” to the evidence behind health restrictions.

“I am personally all for freedom of speech, but will not allow the select few to jeopardize our ability to crush this third wave,” said Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin.

“People have a right to share their views but while we’re in a province wide lockdown, in the middle of a third wave, it is incumbent for all of us to protect each other by following public health protocols.”

According to CTV News, the injunction will be in place for as long as the province’s state of emergency is in effect.

As reported by True North fellow Lindsay Shepherd, provincial and federal governments have been unable to answer whether anti-lockdown protests actually lead to COVID-19 outbreaks.

Recent studies have shown that casual outdoor COVID transmission rates were much lower than previously believed.

According to Ontario’s COVID-19 Science Advisory Table member Dr. Peter Jüni, outdoor activities present a “low-risk” of transmissions.

This week, the US Centre for Disease Control also issued an advisory statement saying that “less than 10%” of COVID-19 case transmissions have occurred outdoors.

Trudeau Begins Planning To Reopen US-Canada Border After More Than A Year

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trudeau-begins-planning-reopen-us-canada-border-after-more-year

For months now, as most US states have largely reopened their economies (with even hard-hit NYC preparing to be "fully reopened" by July1), Canada has lagged behind, leaving restrictions on travel and businesses in place, while the pace of the country's vaccination campaign has lagged the US.

But apparently all the pressure is finally getting to PM Justin Trudeau, because Bloomberg reported Friday that Trudeau's government has begun preliminary internal discussions about reopening the border with the US, even as COVID cases have been more stubborn up north.

Senior officials have begun to formally talk about options for how to proceed, three people familiar with the matter said, speaking on the condition that they not be identified. One question under consideration is whether to employ a two-track system in which quarantine and testing requirements would be relaxed for vaccinated travelers.

The world’s longest international border has been shuttered since March 2020 to most non-essential travel, dramatically reducing land and air traffic between the two countries. The restrictions have hit the nation’s tourism and airline sectors particularly hard – one estimate says the measures cost those industries about C$20 billion ($16.5 billion) in revenue last year.

“In the end, it’s a political decision, and at what point does the Canadian side and it’s the Canadian side at this point that’s the slowpoke decide that they’re ready to receive and what categories of people that they’ll open up to,” Michael Kergin, a former Canadian ambassador to the U.S., said in a phone interview. “A staged reopening would be the logical approach.”

Any reopening of the border would be gradual and contingent on cases continuing to decline in both the US and Canada. The third wave of the pandemic has hit the northern nation harder because of a vaccine rollout that’s been slowed by supply issues and shipment delays.

Many Canadian provinces remain in extended lockdowns even as the country has ramped up its vaccination campaign. Though the pace of new cases has slowed in April and May, the slowdown hasn't been as extreme as what's being seen in the US.

One issue is that the two sides need to agree on a common approach. For example, they would need to agree on a system for verifying vaccine passports, something Trudeau has said Canada is open to doing to help restore cross-border travel, even as President Biden has said he doesn't favor "vaccine passports" .

"It would make sense for us to align with partners around the world on some sort of proof of vaccination or vaccine certification," Trudeau said at a May 4 news conference. "We are looking very carefully at it, hoping to align with allied countries, but I can’t speak for the United States and the choices they might make around who to welcome into their country."

Trudeau is also working with the EU on a bilateral plan. The European bloc has already embraced vaccine passports and will soon begin allowing vaccinated tourists from the US, Canada and elsewhere to start returning to Europe for the summer holidays. As for whether Americans will be able to visit Toronto this summer, that remains unclear.

Canada & The Canceling Of Its Currency

https://breaking-news.ca/canada-the-canceling-of-its-currency/

Trudeau had a law passed as of January 1st, 2021 he can cancel the currency of Canada. Little by little, those countries who have joined Schwab’s World Economic Forum’s view that paper money must be eliminated and we must have only digital currency so everything is taxed.

QUESTION #1: If Canada is not a dictatorship, how can Trudeau cancel the dollar? How can he do so in secret?

RW

QUESTION #2: Why can’t Biden follow Trudeau and cancel the dollar?

EH

ANSWER: The answer lies in the difference in history. Because the paper currency called bills-of-credit back then became worthless, the Framers of the Constitution expressly took into account currency. I have written before that when I was a market-maker in gold and one of the three largest in the country, the IRS walked in and declared me to be a bank and then I was supposed to report everyone who bought or sold gold in $10,000 amounts or more. They cited the Constitution saying that gold and silver were money thereby making me a bank because Nixon only closed the gold window, he never DEMONITIZED gold. So I was suddenly a bank in no need of such a license for the purposes of the IRS. Hence, I retired.

This raises an interesting question. Can Congress create a digital dollar constitutionally? The question of money was thus settled directly in the Constitution because each state had previously issued its own coinage and paper bills-of-credit (paper money).

Article 1 – The Legislative Branch

Section 10 – Powers Prohibited of States

>

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it’s inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

Under the Articles of Confederation, both the federal and state governments were guilty of issuing limitless bills of credit to finance the Revolutionary War. This led to hyperinflation. In response to this Revolutionary history, Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution expressly prohibits the states from issuing bills-of-credit. With respect to Congress’s power, however, the issue is not as clear. At the Constitutional Convention, it was proposed to give the federal government the power to “emit bills on the credit of the United States,” but the Framers defeated this language as being too prone to abuse.

Consequently, the Constitution’s monetary clauses expressly grant Congress the power to coin money and to borrow money by issuing “notes” meaning interest-bearing government bonds. Nonetheless, Congress did not have the power to issue bills-of-credit. Given the Framers’ general hostility to paper money, it seems likely that the Framers’ intended to prohibit the federal government from issuing any bills-of-credit (paper money) whatsoever as was the case concerning the states.

Without question, the Constitution created a government of enumerated powers meaning that without an express grant of an expressed power, Congress thereby lacks the power to act. Therefore, it was clearly understood at the time of drafting the Constitution that striking the language to grant such a power amounted to a prohibition on Congress’s power to issue paper money.

I will do a report on the whole constitutional problem presented. Canada has a different history. The US expressly went through hyperinflation so the Framers dealt expressly with the power to issue money. That does not exist in Canada. Nonetheless, Trudeau canceled all the currency and it is no longer a LEGAL TENDER as of January 1sy, 2021. However, this is only phase #1. The currency is NOT worthless. You can still deposit it and present it to the Bank of Canada for credit to your account.

ON THE DUTY OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

http://www.wakingtimes.com/duty-civil-disobedience/

“If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth–certainly the machine will wear out… but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.” ~Henry David Thoreau

Obedience is the connective tissue of oppression.

In other words, any form of control on a collective level can only be carried out through obedience. A dictator can’t arrest or kill an entire population himself; he needs mindless minions to do the dirty work. This principle applies across all forms and degrees of systematic control, even the most subtle.

The desires of any wannabe controller can only come to fruition through the compliance of others. And that’s been the case throughout recorded history (his-story). The desire for control becomes a virus, driven by fear and infecting more and more people, until there are enough drones to oppress an entire population.

This phenomenon isn’t just the case with large-scale atrocities; it applies to anything which is an impediment to freedom or love; be it a person, group, system or idea.

Everything is held up by belief. Laws are merely words written on paper, only legitimized by collective acquiescence. Laws need people to enforce them. And if laws are unjust (as most are), those who carry them out must unquestioningly submit to authority and go against their own inner knowing.

The only way control or oppression works on any scale is through compliance. Too many people do the work of ‘the man’ for ‘the man.’ That’s the problem. The solution lies in civil disobedience.

Freedom Cannot Be Granted

“Freedom cannot be granted. It must be taken.” ~Max Stirner

Asking for freedom is oxy-moronic. If you have to ask for freedom, you’re already a slave.

How is freedom taken? The simple decision to be the master of your own body and mind.

It really is as simple as that, though difficult to apply. It’s easy to blame problems on others, it’s easy to neglect our health and think “the doctor can fix me.” We’ve been conditioned to externalize our power since childhood. We’ve been taught to not trust ourselves. We’ve been taught to submit to authority without question.

This is a recipe for a control system to stealthily and slowly permeate society (the totalitarian tiptoe).

When you attain a degree of self-mastery, you do not acquiesce to the will of destructive people or disharmonious institutions. Which leads to the next point…

Fear-Based Programming

“The pioneers of a warless world are the youth who refuse military service.” ~Albert Einstein

The covert means by which oppression takes over is through fear-based programming.

If you have people in fear, you can easily control them. Fear activates the part of the brain known as the amygdala (the center for emotional behavior/motivation) and inhibits neocortex function (our “thinking brain”). This means that rationality and intellect are thrown out the window, the perfect storm for brainwashing. There’s even a term for this fear response; amygdala hijack.

The media is one big amygdala hijack, perpetually programming the population with which boogeyman to fear next. This is a massive ritual of fear-based programming that insidiously shifts entire populations into thinking and acting irrationally out of fear. Television is called programming for a reason.

Remember the whole weapons of mass destruction fiasco with Iraq in 2003? US military action in Iraq and massive destabilization of the middle east (which continues to this day) was predicated on that lie. There were no weapons of mass destruction. But lingering fear from 9/11 resulted in a string of irrational behavior and many people blindly believing the hype.

Churchgoers fined nearly $75k for Sunday worship in Nova Scotia

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/churchgoers-fined-nearly-75k-for-sunday-worship-in-nova-scotia

WESTON, Nova Scotia, May 14, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – More than two dozen adults who showed up Sunday morning to worship at a tiny parish in rural Annapolis Valley received fines totaling nearly $75,000.

RCMP ticketed 26 people $2,422 each and fined Weston Christian Fellowship Church $11,622.50 for violating rules in the second lockdown that authorities put in place April 28, according to an RCMP press release.

More deaths in 2018

Seventy-one people have died with a positive COVID-19 test result in the past 14 months in the Atlantic province, where 9,720 people died between July 2019 and 2020, so official coronavirus deaths amount to 0.72 percent of annual reported deaths in the province.

Though the population in the small maritime province grew by 3,551 people between the first quarters of 2020 and 2021, more people died (9,835) in the year before the pandemic began.

On May 14, Nova Scotia’s health department reported that 89 people were in hospital with COVID-19, including 21 who occupied ICU beds throughout the province. Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin said at a May 3 press conference that the average age of hospitalized people was “between 40 and 60.” The average age of those who died in the province is presented as a rounded figure of 80 years on the province’s COVID dashboard. Average life expectancy in the province has consistently hovered around 80.5 for the past several years.

Nova Scotians hear daily “case reports” from the provincial government and mainstream media, and the numbers have climbed in recent days – with 117 new cases reported May 14. What isn’t made clear is that half as many people in the province are testing negative than during the first wave of the virus. Thousands are flocking to COVID testing points scattered in every village and town throughout the province each day and it is easy to see from the chart on the COVID-19 dashboard below that the bulk of the 708,617 tests have been undertaken in the past month since the pandemic began.

Testing soared in April and May 2021 – spiking to nearly 20,000 tests per day in early May compared with fewer than 1,000 tests per day in the first wave of 2020. The more people test, the more cases are found, but positive cases are still now occurring at less than half the rate they were at the peak of the first wave – just over three perecent at their highest in early May 2021 compared with a peak of nearly 7 percent in April 2020.

While 97 percent of those testing for COVID are getting negative results in Nova Scotia and more than 98 percent of the 4,524 people who have been confirmed cases to date have survived the disease, the province’s chief medical officer, Robert Strang, suddenly veered to a high testing/harsh lockdown formula. The public health measures enforced in April have sent children and university students home from schools, closed hundreds of businesses and even mental health facilities in spite of the documented mental health risks of lockdowns.

RCMP crackdown

Costco and Walmart stores and other large chains have remained busy with packed parking lots and lineups, but RCMP has stepped up doling out harsh punishments to individuals, including fining a man $2,422 for “non-essential travel” outside of his Halifax municipality after he was pulled over on his way to hike the Skyline Trail in the remote and sparsely populated highlands of Cape Breton.

One 17-year-old was reportedly given two $2,000 fines for failing to isolate in Bedford, Nova Scotia and RCMP officers reportedly responded to a call about a man not wearing a mask in the public area of his apartment building.

Police also fined three men from Halifax when people complained about them fishing in their community. RCMP is cracking down on churchgoers like those in the tiny farming community of Weston, where 13 men and 13 women gathered to worship on Sunday.

‘What is wrong with you?’

Former Planned Parenthood head hints at urgent need for COVID-19 vaccine passports

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/former-planned-parenthood-head-hints-at-urgent-need-for-covid-19-vaccine-passports

May 14, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — The former president of Planned Parenthood yesterday alluded to an urgent need for vaccine passports now that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released new guidance saying those who have received the COVID-19 vaccination can ditch their masks.

During an MSNBC panel discussion and in a later tweet, Dr. Leana Wen said that the CDC’s relaxation of masking policies for those who are vaccinated “only works if there’s a way to check vaccination status.”

“I am shocked by the CDC’s abrupt reversal of their guidelines for vaccinated people,” she wrote in her tweet. “While I agree that vaccinated can choose what they want to do, this only works if there’s a way to check vaccination status.”

“Otherwise, what’s to stop the unvaccinated from endangering everyone?” she asked, directly contradicting Dr. Anthony Fauci’s nearly simultaneous statement to NBC News’ Lester Holt that vaccinated people should have “no concern at all” about contact with non-vaccinated people.

‘Shocked’

“I do think that we need to send a very clear message that ‘vaccination is your ticket back to pre-pandemic life,’” allowed Wen on MSNBC. “But frankly I was shocked by the announcement. I think they went from one extreme to another, and the major step that’s missing here is: ‘How do we know that people are telling the truth [about vaccine status]?’”

Wen brought up a hypothetical future trip to the grocery store, and wondered how unmasked patrons could be certain that everyone in the store not wearing a mask has had the COVID-19 shot.

“Who is going to be checking to see if others are also vaccinated?” she asked.

“So what does that mean if I’m bringing my son, my four-year-old who is not fully vaccinated,” she wondered. “Now he’s going to be in a grocery store potentially exposed to people who are not vaccinated who could be of danger to him.”

Wen admits she is ‘befuddled’

The former Planned Parenthood hancho admitted to being “befuddled.”

“And so I guess I’m kind of befuddled as to where this guidance came from,” said Wen. “I think there are a lot of steps that were missing. I was expecting to hear something about outdoor mask guidance today, and also I was expecting to hear, ‘If fully vaccinated people are around others who are known to be fully vaccinated, they can fully let down their guard.’”

“I wasn’t expecting to hear, essentially, that indoor mask mandates can all go, because that’s what the CDC is saying. They’re saying, ‘We don’t need indoor mask mandates anymore,” she concluded.

Police in Ontario seize Aylmer Church of God, pastor fined for holding services

https://www.rebelnews.com/police_in_ontario_seize_aylmer_church_of_god_pastor_fined_for_holding_services

Yesterday, Superior Court Justice Bruce Thomas issued penalties for the Church of God in Aylmer, Ontario. Pastor Henry Hildebrant is facing $10,000 in fines for hosting regular service in spite of COVID restrictions limiting religious gatherings to 10 people indoors. The church, found guilty of contempt, is now looking at $35,000 in fines and is to be locked until COVID restrictions from the provincial government allow 30 per cent capacity indoors.

In the church's livestream of local police locking the doors, the congregation can be seen inside worshiping as officers enter the building.

“Another sad day in Canadian history. This afternoon we [the congregation of the Church of God at Aylmer] were ordered to vacate the building where we have met for decades to worship our Lord. To God be the glory, He is worthy of all our praise.”

Pastor Henry Hildebrant posted his remarks on Twitter in response to Justice Thomas' ruling against the church.

Indepenent MP Derek Sloan, who represents the riding of Hastings-Leonnox and Addington, also raised concerns on the issue of religious freedom.

“We are all less free because of this despicable abuse of power,” Sloan said.

Former conservative, now independent, MPP Randy Hillier, who also represents a riding in the Kingston area, had some strong words to describe the ordeal.

“Words are difficult to find to describe as Black Shirts seize The Church of God from [Henry Hildebrandt] & the congregants,” Hillier said in reaction to the police raid on the church.

The Aylmer church says they will continue to worship as normal, despite the government restrictions and following the government seizing the church itself.

“At this point we will meet outdoors and 'underground',” church leaders said.

“We respect the judge but the fact that we are holding a pastor in contempt for holding a church service speaks for itself. Where have we come to as a nation? It's a dark day for religious freedom, the govt is shredding our Charter and the foundation of our nation.”

Canada’s Covid-19 vaccine head steps down amid military investigation

Major-General Dany Fortin has stepped down from his position coordinating Canada’s vaccination program against Covid-19, amid a military investigation that is reportedly linked to an old sexual misconduct allegation.

It was announced on Friday that Fortin would step down due to an investigation into him, though the details of the investigation were not revealed. Global News then claimed to have confirmed “that the investigation is linked to a sexual misconduct allegation dating from before Fortin was a general” and that it’s being led by the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (CFNIS).

Cost of elderly benefits to balloon 70% in Canada by 2030: Fraser Institute

https://tnc.news/2021/05/16/cost-of-elderly-benefits-to-balloon-70-in-canada-by-2030-fraser-institute/

A new report by the Fraser Institute reveals that by 2030, the amount of money Canadian taxpayers will be spending on Old Age Security (OAS) and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) will have grown by 70% due to the increasing size of Canada’s elderly population.

The report, titled Canada’s Aging Population and Income Support Programs found that expenditures on the program will go up to a whopping $103.2 billion price tag.

“As Canada’s population of seniors grows with each passing year, so too do the costs of these support programs,” said report author and resident scholar Steven Globerman in a press release on the matter.

“The increased costs for senior income support risks crowding out government spending in other areas that are important to Canadians. The aging of the population has already begun, and policymakers across Canada need to prepare for the drastic changes this will usher in, including escalating costs for income support programs.”

As noted by Globerman, the true cost of the programs will likely be higher considering the fact that the Liberals announced a 10% increase to OAS. Furthermore, by the year 2060 taxpayers will be spending 136% more on the two programs.

Both the OAS and GIS are direct monthly payments to individuals over 65 years of age, however, the GIS is meant to assist low-income Canadian seniors.

Canada’s population is aging so rapidly that by the year 2060, approximately 25% of Canada’s population will be 65 or older.

In 2012, Prime Minister Harper raised the age of eligibility for the OAS pension to 67 years old.

“The aging of the population and the shrinking of the labour force is a serious economic challenge for Canada, as it is for other countries,” Harper said at the time.

Federal officials estimated Harper’s decision would save $10.8-billion a year once the plan was fully implemented.

However, in 2016, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made good on his election promise and overturned the former Conservative government’s decision.

Denying Reality Leads To Tyranny And Societal Failure

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/denying-reality-leads-tyranny-and-societal-failure

The common thread that connects failed societies, from Weimar Germany to the Soviet Union, is an almost pathological insistence on denying reality. Weimar Germany denied that masses of printed money would destroy civilized society. The Soviet Union insisted that Soviet Man would emerge spontaneously from the ashes of capitalist society. Weimar Germany spawned Nazi Germany. Nazi Germany was completely destroyed, both physically and politically, by the World War II Allies. Mercifully, the Soviet Union simply collapsed after seventy years of consuming capital to achieve the phantom of the classless society. Today both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union are synonymous with tyranny and failure. Both nations murdered millions. Both nations no longer exist. True, Germany exists as does Russia, but I contend that both are new nations. Neither is perfect, but neither claims a political heritage to the nation that preceded it.

Pathological policy errors flowed inexorably from a skewed view of reality in both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Once this view of reality was deemed to be above criticism, its champions adopted increasingly tyrannical policies. Nazi Germany's Aryan Supremacy racial theories seemingly justified the murder of the handicapped, Gypsies, those of alternative sexual orientation, Jews, and Slavs. In the name of birthing a new Soviet Man, the Soviet Union murdered anyone who stood in the way of its program to confiscate all businesses, including small farms. When businesses and farms failed, there was no soul searching as to root causes that might lie in Marxism itself. No, the problem had to be saboteurs within society. Reality, you see, was what the Soviet Union's Politburo said it was. As the vanguard of the proletariat, the Politburo stood outside society and saw its flaws. Those who disagreed were blind to this insight and had to be eliminated.

Chasing the Phantoms of Alternative Reality

Today the West especially is adopting policies that flow from alternative realities that, frankly, do not exist.

Is This a Possible COVID Vaccine Antidote?

https://truth11.com/2021/05/16/is-this-a-possible-covid-vaccine-antidote/

Is there a possible COVID vaccine antidote which could protect those who have been injected with the concoction passing itself off as a COVID vaccine? Dr. Judy Mikovits thinks so. Mikovits, who was featured in the Plandemic film, recently revealed the name of it (which you can hear in this video excerpt): suramin. The disturbing horror stories of the COVID vaxxed never seem to end. Firstly, there are all the numerous adverse effects of those who have taken the COVID non-vaccine including migraines, bruising, heavy and irregular menstruation, miscarriages, potential sterility and potentially lethal blood clotting. (You can read what people are self-reporting at this Reddit group – scary). Then, there is the bizarre phenomenon of the COVID vaxxed transmitting these effects to the unvaccinated just by being around them. On top of that, there is the phenomenon of magnets sticking to the COVID vaxxed at the injection site. The point of the COVID non-vaccine is to introduce synthetic spike proteins into the body, so that the body will make antibodies against them, antibodies which will supposedly protect you against SARS-CoV-2. While there are many problems with this theory – including the fact there is no real SARS-CoV-2 and that spike proteins rest on the unfounded assumption of an isolated and purified virus – there is also the distinct danger that these synthetic spike proteins will cause you harm. This is where the possible COVID vaccine antidote comes in.

Possible COVID Vaccine Antidote: Sumarin

Sumarin is a drug which has been used as medicine for conditions such as African sleeping sickness and river blindness. It has been know to the medical profession for 100 years. Recently a small randomized clinical trial conducted the University of California San Diego found that a single intravenous dose of suramin produced dramatic improvement of core symptoms of autism, aka autism spectrum disorder (ASD). So what is suramin exactly? It turns out that it’s yet another pharmaceutical drug which is an extract of a natural substance, in this case pine needles. This follow the Big Pharma business model of bio-piracy – find natural plants and substances, isolate a chemical from them, get a patent on it and sell it, while using scientific journals and the media to trash anyone who claims the original plant has medicinal value.

The article Possible Antidote for the V-Serum and the Current Spike Protein Contagion does a good job of going down the rabbit hole to reveal what suramin does and where it comes from:

Science Journals Support Claim that Pfizer Covid Vaccine Can Cause Deadly Neurodegenerative Disease

https://truth11.com/2021/05/16/science-journals-support-claim-that-pfizer-covid-vaccine-can-cause-deadly-neurodegenerative-disease/

A recent article published in the scientific journal Microbiology and Infectious Diseases makes the claim that the mRNA Pfizer Covid vaccine may contain prions which cause deadly neurodegenerative disease, sometimes called “Creutzfeldt-Jakob” or “Mad Cow” disease. The article, titled “COVID-19 RNA Based Vaccines and the Risk of Prion Disease,” was published in January of 2021 and has been studiously ignored by major media, which has focused its efforts on encouraging individuals to take the jab.

The paper was authored by J. Bart Classen, MD and analyzed the Pfizer mRNA vaccine, stating that:

The RNA sequence of the vaccine as well as the spike protein target interaction were analyzed for the potential to convert intracellular RNA binding proteins TAR DNA binding protein (TDP-43) and Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) into their pathologic prion conformations. The results indicate that the vaccine RNA has specific sequences that may induce TDP-43 and FUS to fold into their pathologic prion confirmations.

The paper goes on to state that “The folding of TDP-43 and FUS into their pathologic prion confirmations is known to cause ALS, front temporal lobar degeneration, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological degenerative diseases.”

In other words, the Pfizer mRNA vaccine may have the capability of turning brains to mush.

Far from prompting any pause or calls for re-evaluation of the Pfizer vaccine, the media has largely ignored the paper. A few of the more notorious “fact check” websites have pronounced that the conclusions of this study are false.

According to USA Today, which appears to be possibly the only national mainstream media to have covered this article, “Contrary to Classen’s claim, there is no evidence to suggest the COVID-19 vaccines can cause prion diseases or other neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.”

USA Today cites as their source for this the fact that the FDA did not mention prion disease as an effect of the vaccine. USA Today also mentions that the CDC’s VAERS website does not mention prion disease as resulting from the Pfizer vaccine. However, as prion disease takes years to develop, it is hardly likely that the VAERS website would contain this information. The article goes on to trash the journal in which the article appeared, quoting a Dr. Angela Rassmussen with Georgetown University as stating that it is “not a reputable or reliable journal.”

The article charges that “Microbiology & Infectious Diseases is an open-access journal published by SciVision Publishers, a potential predatory publisher intended for profit rather than academic peer-review.” In fact, SciVision Publishers makes its content freely available without charge, while charging the authors a publication fee.

There are other statements intending to “slur the messenger” by the fact check sites. PolitiFact stated that Classen speculates on his website that the coronavirus pandemic “is actually a bioweapon attack and may be linked to the U.S. anthrax attack of 2001.”

PolitiFact states that “He also included that claim — which PolitiFact has repeatedly debunked — in the body of his research article.”

PolitiFact has gotten this wrong. Way, way wrong. There is a clear nexus with the attacks of September 11 and a bioweapons agenda. This nexus manifested itself in a number of ways. For one, the infamous Patriot Act, passed in the wake of 9/11, contains a little discussed section, enumerated as 817, The Expansion of the Biological Weapons Statute, which gives the US government immunity from violating its own bioweapons laws. This nexus between the events of September 2001 and a bioweapons agenda is discussed extensively in my upcoming book At the Breaking Point of History: How Decades of US Duplicity Enabled the Pandemic.

Apart from the propagandistic slur above, PolitiFact also charges that Classen provides no evidence of a relationship between the Pfizer vaccine and prion disease, stating “All he includes is a three-sentence methods section summarizing an unspecified analysis of the coronavirus vaccine.”

Anti-lockdown protests held across Canada over the weekend

https://tnc.news/2021/05/16/anti-lockdown-protests-held-across-canada-over-the-weekend/

On Saturday, Canada’s major cities saw multiple peaceful demonstrations against lockdowns.

Large demonstrations occurred in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, London, Winnipeg and Vancouver and Ottawa as part of “Worldwide Freedom Day,” a global campaign against lockdowns that saw several dozen protests around the world.

Just days earlier, leftist politicians Jagmeet Singh and Naheed Nenshi claimed, without evidence, that anti-lockdown protesters were associated with far-right extremists.

Toronto saw a record-breaking anti-lockdown protest. A large and diverse group of demonstrators marched in downtown Toronto while chanting anti-lockdown slogans.

Police estimate that 5,000 people attended. One person was arrested after an altercation with police.

On May 13, the Ford government extended Ontario’s stay-at-home order for another two weeks. Despite the number of new daily cases declining steadily for the past three weeks, Ford claimed the extension was necessary to ensure a “most normal” summer.

Video taken from Queen’s Park shows thousands of people gathered to hear speeches. Among the attendees was People’s Party leader Maxime Bernier.

“We have a choice, and choice is between freedom and authoritarian government,” Bernier told the crowd.

“I choose freedom.”

In Montreal, anti-lockdown demonstrators held three separate marches, with the groups meeting to hold a large rally. Similar demonstrations took place in Vancouver.

In Ottawa, hundreds of anti-lockdown protesters marched through downtown and held a rally on Parliament Hill. According to police there were around 500 attendees.

While many anti-lockdown protests were able to continue without law enforcement intervening, in some parts of Canada, protesters were not able to protest freely. On Friday, a Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge granted the province’s government an injunction to stop Canadians from protesting COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns.

As reported by True North fellow Lindsay Shepherd, provincial and federal governments have been unable to answer whether anti-lockdown protests actually lead to COVID-19 outbreaks.

Violence breaks out at pro-Palestine protest in Toronto

https://tnc.news/2021/05/16/violence-breaks-out-at-pro-palestine-protest-in-toronto/

Pro-Palestine protestors clashed with pro-Israel supporters at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto on Saturday as tensions in the Middle East continue to increase.

The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) said that it was organizing protests in more than 25 cities across North America, including Toronto.

The PYM said in a press release that they were taking to the streets to demand an immediate end to the “illegal expulsion” of Palestinians in Jerusalem and the bombing of Gaza.

“Palestinians and their allies demand that the U.S., Canada, and global community end all complicity in the Israeli occupation and colonialism by ceasing military funding, diplomatic cover to Israel, and repression of proponents of Palestinian rights,” said the PYM.

Thousands of pro-Palestine protestors attended the demonstration in Toronto. Protestors chanted slogans such as “Free Palestine” and “Allahu Akbar,” waved Palestinian flags and held signs with statements showing their support.

A small counterprotest was held nearby by the Jewish Defense League (JDL), a pro-Israel group. A heavy police presence separated the pro-Israel protestors from the pro-Palestinian ones.

However, as tensions increased, the pro-Palestine protestors allegedly surrounded the pro-Israel protesters and threw water bottles, eggs and other objects at the smaller group.

Police officers escorted pro-Israel protestors out after objects started to be thrown at them. Fights broke out between the two groups and between the officers who wanted to keep them separated.

At least three pro-Israel protesters were injured, and one elderly Jewish man sustained serious injuries.

Multiple Jewish Canadian organizations, including B’nai Brith Canada and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, said in a statement that the violence taking place at this protest was disturbing.

“We condemn in the strongest terms these brazen acts of assault, intimidation, and hate targeting members of Toronto’s Jewish community and supporters of Israel,” said the Jewish organizations in a joint statement.

“There is absolutely no justification for political violence in the streets of Toronto, whatever one’s cause may be.”

Ontario Premier Ford also condemned the violent protests. In a tweet on Sunday, Ford said the violent incidents should be investigated by the police.

“Discrimination or hatred of any kind against any community in our province should never be tolerated,” tweeted the Premier.

The battle between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas continues to escalate. The violent clashes have led to at least 126 people killed in Gaza and 7 people in Israel. Since Monday, Hamas has fired over 2,000 rockets into Israel.

MALCOLM: Trudeau needs to muster the courage to condemn Hamas

https://tnc.news/2021/05/17/malcolm-trudeau-needs-to-muster-the-courage-to-condemn-hamas/

“This note is being written in the midst of a significant missile attack from Gaza so please forgive my brevity. I am trying to get this out before I have to run to another location.”

That was an email I received from a colleague earlier this week who is working in Israel. That country has fallen into a civil war against the terrorist insurgency group Hamas.

War is horrendous, and by nature both sides do terrible things to defend themselves and stop their enemy. People are killed, communities are destroyed and civilians get caught in the crossfire.

That being said, the two sides of this war are not equivalent.

On the one side, Israel is a liberal democracy trying to ensure peace, stability and freedom for its citizens. But no matter how much it tries to appease the other side — through negotiations, concessions, land transfers, good will and aid — it remains at war with its neighbours. That’s because the other side is controlled by Hamas, a terrorist organization whose stated goals have been described as a genocide against Jews.

The mood in Israel is somber, with social media full of reports of Israeli families (both Arabs and Jews) hiding for cover, praying for the violence to stop and condemning the war.

The mood in Gaza by contrast is celebratory. In videos posted online, you can hear people cheering and shouting “Allahu Akbar” while rockets are fired at Israeli communities.

While Israel targets terrorist agents and infrastructure, Hamas intentionally imbeds its military bases in densely populated civilian areas. They fire rockets from apartment buildings and maintain headquarters beneath a hospital.

Israel goes to painstaking efforts to avoid civilian casualties — they send text messages and drop leaflets begging civilians to leave — despite Hamas’s best efforts to create a human shield around its operatives.

Hamas, on the other hand, deliberately targets Jewish civilians while also putting Arabs at risk. My colleague wrote an email from a bomb shelter because Hamas’s strategy is to fire off hundreds of rockets simultaneously to overwhelm Israel’s Iron Dome defense system that shoots down rockets before they can hit Israeli apartment buildings.

Many of the Arab casualties in this war come from Hamas rockets that are misfired or fall short of hitting Jewish neighborhoods and accidentally land on Arab neighborhoods instead, a crucial fact that is often left out of media reports.

You wouldn’t know any of this from watching CBC or listening to the Trudeau government.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s foreign affairs minister released a statement that can only be described as equivocal. It reads like a Conservative press release condemning Hamas, followed by an NDP statement demonizing Israel that had been stapled together.

The Trudeau government fails to show any sort of leadership, and instead speaks out of both sides of its mouth and avoids taking a side.

While Trudeau cannot muster the courage to condemn terrorist aggression, Canada’s state broadcaster goes even further in promoting an anti-Israel narrative.

A report on the CBC National perpetuated a lie by saying Israel was the aggressor and Hamas was merely firing rockets back in self-defense. This inverts the timeline, as Hamas began firing hundreds of rockets into Israel 24 hours before Israel struck back.

Likewise, CBC correspondents have been caught parroting terrorist talking points.

One reporter called Gaza an “open air prison” — a common trope used to demonize Israel, who conceded the land to Arabs in 2005 only for them to expel all Jews and create a safe-haven for terrorists. Another CBC reporter justified Arabs throwing rocks at police, and neglected to mention that Arabs threw Molotov cocktails as well as bricks or that Israeli police were responding to Arab violence, not vice versa.

As classical liberal philosopher and statesman Edmund Burke once said, “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

If Canada remains silent, or worse, portrays terrorist aggressors as victims, we are allowing evil to triumph.

Tens of thousands of lives could have been saved if research on COVID treatments hadn’t been suppressed, doctors and economists say

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/tens-of-thousands-of-lives-could-have-been-saved-if-research-on-covid-treatments-hadnt-been-suppressed-doctors-and-economists-say

May 17, 2021 (Children’s Health Defense) — Since the first days of the declared coronavirus pandemic, doctors faithful to their Hippocratic Oath have been searching for — and identifying — effective COVID-19 treatments.

In mid-November, Dr. Peter McCullough, vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center, and three other experts outlined safe and available treatments for the Senate’s influential Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee.

University of Wisconsin critical care specialist Dr. Pierre Kory followed up with more discussion of viable COVID treatments at a Dec. 8 appearance before the same committee.

However, as Children’s Health Defense Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. observed during a March 2021 conversation with McCullough, “we’ve seen this very strange conflict … that many of those treatments that could save lives, instead of being promoted and investigated and studied by the health authorities, are instead being sabotaged and made … inaccessible.”

The government’s “near complete” lack of guidance and research on treatment options — “apart from vaccines” — is, according to Kory, “unconscionable.”

The tragic fallout of this government strategy is now becoming apparent. In a recent working paper analyzing the determinants of COVID-19 fatalities, the authors — Michigan State University economics professor Mark Skidmore and co-author Hideki Toya — estimated “if the U.S. had made [hydroxychloroquine] widely available early on, 80,000 to 100,000 lives could have been saved.”

McCullough had already reached similar conclusions when he told senators in November the U.S. “could have saved half of the lives lost” if COVID treatment protocols had not been squelched.

By March, McCullough had revised his estimate upward, asserting that “as many as 85% of COVID deaths could have been prevented through early treatment.”

Paving the way for Emergency Use Authorization

As early as March and April 2020, doctors began communicating — with cautious optimism — their experiences using interventions with years or decades of safe use behind them, including the promising repurposing of well-known drugs (for example, hydroxychloroquine, the inhaled steroid budesonide and ivermectin) as well as positive results from judicious use of supplements and therapies such as vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin B1 (thiamine), zinc, iodine and nebulized hydrogen peroxide. They also noted that some of these interventions functioned equally well as prophylaxis.

For example, a new review of randomized controlled trial evidence for ivermectin and COVID-19, published by Kory and co-authors in the American Journal of Therapeutics, points to “large, statistically significant reductions” in deaths as well as improvements in clinical recovery. The results, say these authors, clearly indicate that “an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified.”

According to Kory, government agencies that refuse to recommend ivermectin as a treatment option “are not keeping up with the data,” which “have done nothing but deepen and become more consistent.”

Pushing back, some judges have ordered hospitals to give ivermectin to COVID patients who have exhausted the few treatment options that government agencies are willing to endorse. In one such case, an 80-year-old woman made a “complete turnaround” in less than 48 hours.

As for hydroxychloroquine, the database of COVID-19 hydroxychloroquine studies now numbers nearly 300. These studies consistently show positive effects with early treatment and appropriate dosing.

There are many indications that micronutrient deficiencies — including deficiencies of vitamin D and vitamin B1 — may make some individuals vulnerable to COVID and its complications.

Alberta’s governing party kicks out two parliamentarians for opposing lockdowns

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/albertas-governing-party-kicks-out-two-parliamentarians-for-opposing-lockdowns

EDMONTON, Alberta, May 17, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Fellow caucus members booted two politicians critical of COVID-related lockdowns and other restrictions from the United Conservative Party (UCP) led by Alberta Premier Jason Kenney.

The expulsion of Todd Loewen, the now-former UCP MLA for Alberta’s Central-Peace-Notley riding, came about after he posted a letter on May 13 on his Facebook page, stating, “The people of Alberta have lost trust in this government because you have not brought needed balance and reason to the discussion. Albertans and our UCP party members deserve better.”

“We did not unite around blind loyalty to one man. And, while you promoted unity, it is clear that unity is falling apart. I know that many Albertans, including myself, no longer have confidence in your leadership. I thank you for your service, but I am asking that you resign so that we can begin to put the province back together again.”

As a result of Loewen’s letter, Kenney called an “emergency caucus meeting” yesterday. During the meeting, which went on for hours, a vote was held among UCP MLAs to decide the fate of Loewen, as well as Medicine Hat MLA Drew Barnes, who has also been a vocal critic of Kenney’s COVID-19 lockdowns.

After a two-hour vote, Loewen and Barnes were booted from the UCP caucus.

UCP whip Mike Ellis stated, “There is simply no room in our caucus for those who continually seek to divide our party and undermine government leadership, especially at this critical juncture for our province.”

According to the Western Standard, there was an “open” and “heated” discussion among MLAs in the meeting, with Loewen reported to have “pleaded” with Kenney to end lockdowns and “do the right thing.”

In a statement posted after being expelled from the UCP caucus, Barnes said that he was “saddened by today’s events, but not surprised,” adding that many members of the caucus “have tried, in vain to help the Premier make better decisions in recent weeks and months.”

“Today, the Premier’s promises of servant leadership, grassroots democracy and political transparency were again abandoned in favor of caucus discipline above all else. However, I am no longer shackled by the chains of caucus discipline, especially when the goals of the Premier do not align with those of my constituents,” wrote Barnes.

Back in March, Barnes told LifeSiteNews that it was a “mistake” for governments to not list religious practice as “essential” when locking the population down with COVID health orders.

“In the communication, it has been forgotten how important our spiritual health is, our mental health is our physical health, and our economic health. And I’m absolutely a believer in freedoms of all kinds, our freedom of expression, and our freedom of speech, and our freedom of religion. Absolutely,” Barnes said.

Recently, in an unprecedented political move, 17 UCP MLAs blasted their party leader and premier for taking the province back into a severe COVID-19 lockdown.

Loewen was one of the MLAs who signed the letter. His May 13 letter does not directly mention Kenney’s continued COVID-19 restrictions, which are some of strictest in Canada, but Loewen has spoken in the past in opposition to some measures.

In his letter, he blasted Kenney for failed leadership, lack of transparency, and for not advocating for Alberta’s oil and gas sector.

Hundreds of thousands demand freedom in second global protest against COVID restrictions

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/hundreds-of-thousands-demand-freedom-in-second-global-protest-against-covid-restrictions

May 17, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – In over 40 countries, people in their hundreds, their thousands, and even hundreds of thousands, came together last Saturday to protest against COVID-19 related restrictions in the second global protest of its kind.

While many such protests have been organized previously, Saturday’s event was coordinated by World-Wide Demonstration, which started as an action group in Germany in the spring of 2020. The group held its first global protest on the one-year anniversary of the start of the restrictions on March 20.

Protestors all across the globe, in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, South Africa, much of Europe, Argentina, the U.S., and Canada, took to the streets to oppose COVID-related lockdowns, mandatory vaccines, vaccine passports, and the unreliable COVID PCR tests.

While almost entirely ignored by the mainstream media, the size of the protests was hard to miss, with some cities seeing over a hundred thousand gathered to protest against the restrictions.

LifeSiteNews database manager Meghan Mulherin attended the rally in Hyannis, Massachusetts, and mentioned that even in this small town, 75 people attended. They received such a positive reaction from passers-by that a nearby temporary COVID injection site moved away from the protest due to the public support for the protests.

Despite the strict lockdown restrictions currently in place, the streets were full in Toronto, with thousands of demonstrators chanting “Justin Trudeau’s got to go.” Some reports described the size of the event as “record-breaking.”

They were joined by their compatriots in Vancouver and Ottawa, who demanded “freedom,” and carried signs reading “no to tyranny.”

In London, Ontario, Pastor Henry Hildebrandt of the Church of God in Aylmer attended the rally. A LifeSite sustainer present commented that “after his speech, one of the organizers noted that there were officers waiting on the side lines who perhaps were going to arrest him. This after everyone had affirmed support for law enforcement and for the true purpose of their mission. So, they got a good scolding with a reminder of what that mission is.”

Pastor Hildebrandt has been subjected to increasing governmental persecutions as a result of the restrictions currently placed on worship in Ontario. The day before the protest, a judge ordered that the doors of Hildebrandt’s church be locked for defying provincial lockdown rules, and that the church, pastor, and assistant pastor be fined a total of $48,000 in penalties, as well as pay $69,000 in legal fees.

In London, U.K., protestors thronged outside the left-leaning and pro-lockdown BBC, chanting “shame on you,” which the famous news outlet managed to ignore, and instead placed stories about cattle and a lost whale on its “Must see” page. It was estimated that London itself had over 100,000 protestors present on the day.

Nor did the damp weather prevent those in Scotland from their own protest, as Edinburgh’s streets saw some two hundred people express their displeasure with country’s lockdown.

Protestors took the streets across other European countries, as well, with video footage documenting the extent of the opposition to restrictions in Croatia, Norway, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Austria, Serbia, Italy, Germany, and Ireland. World-Wide Demonstration’s Telegram channel also featured videos and images of the protests, with footage being sent in from around the world.

A press release issued before the event stated that “excessive coronavirus restrictions must come to an end, and all state of emergency declarations enabling these measures must be repealed.”

“We cannot allow our Human Rights to be re–packaged as Human Privileges, to be conditioned upon compliance with Authoritarianism,” stated the group.

This message was echoed by former Pfizer Vice President Dr. Michael Yeadon, who has been speaking out about the truth of the experimental injections and the lies being spread by governments about COVID-19. Yeadon addressed the protest held in Canterbury, U.K., urging those present not to be afraid of the virus.

“Once you’ve survived it, which you nearly always do — 99.8% — you’re immune. None of these variants are going to catch you out, you don’t need to be vaccinated against a common … respiratory virus like this.”

World-Wide Demonstration has scheduled its third global event to take place in two months, on July 24.

EXCLUSIVE: Suncor makes vaccines mandatory at mine in northern Alberta

https://www.rebelnews.com/suncor_makes_vaccines_mandatory_at_mine_in_northern_alberta

Canadian energy giant Suncor has sent an internal letter stating that workers at select sites in northern Alberta will be barred from accessing their work sites without proof of vaccination against COVID-19.

The letter, exclusively obtained by Rebel News, was signed off by a Suncor policy and governance specialist Matthew Caouet and explains the company's new VaccineAccess program. As well, the letter gives advice on how to talk to employees and contractors about their plans to receive Moderna's mRNA vaccine in order to maintain their access to site.

Access Badges “Deactivated” Without Proof Of Vaccine

In the letter, Caouet describes Suncor's plans to demand proof of vaccination from employees:

Baseplant has been chosen as a test site for “VaccineAccess”. Starting June 1, 2021 your COVID-19 vaccination will be recorded on the access badge. Workers will be granted access to site with the proof of vaccination. By June 30, non confirming Employees and Contractors will have badge access deactivated until VaccineAccess is completed.

Based on the success of our Moderna mRNA vaccine doses delivered at site by International SOS, a third-party administrator, we are taking the next step. Everyone who works at Baseplant is eligible, regardless of where you live (including out of province), how old you are, or which company you work for — to participate in this exciting program.

“When are you planning to get vaccinated?”

Along with the explanation of the VaccineAccess program, Caouet gives tip on how managers can bring up vaccination status with their team:

When engaging in conversation, ask your team member: “When [are you] planning to get vaccinated?”

If no date is confirmed yet: “Thanks for your time. Stay safe and have a great shift, please keep me in the loop when you have a date confirmed.”

Last week, Suncor held vaccination clinics for Base Plant, MacKay River, Fort Hills and Firebag for “everyone with site access.”

Spanish Politician Banned From Twitter For "Hate Speech" After Saying "A Man Cannot Get Pregnant"

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/spanish-politician-banned-twitter-hate-speech-after-saying-man-cannot-get-pregnant

A deputy to Spain's far-right Vox Party was locked out of his Twitter account last week for claiming that "a man cannot get pregnant".

Francisco José Contreras was banned from his account for 12 hours, according to Fox News, for making the argument and backing it up by stating men have "no uterus or eggs."

He was making the comments in response to an article about a transgender male who announced that they had "given birth" to a baby girl and were now a father.

Contreras said on Facebook that he was told by Twitter he had violated its policies on hate speech for his remarks. He also posted a diagram to illustrate his point.

He wrote on Facebook: "The hateful tweet (which I was forced to delete) was one that said: ′A man cannot get pregnant. A man has no womb or eggs'. You can see this is already fascist biology. Next time I'll try 2 + 2 = 4."

Twitter said that he violated the company's policy "against material that threatens, harasses, or fosters violence against other people on the basis of their race, ethnic origin, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religion, age, disability or disease."

The network warned: "Keep in mind that repeated defaults may lead to permanent suspension of your account. Go to Twitter now to fix the problem with your account."

Supporters of Contreras have started using the #AManCannotBePregnant hashtag to show support for him. Contreras concluded: "We will not yield to Twitter imposing a twisted (and anthropologically wrong) worldview. We will continue to speak the truth about human nature. Biological truth should not be regarded as ‘hate speech’. It’s biology, not bigotry."

Toronto councillor who wanted police defunded says protesters should be charged

https://tnc.news/2021/05/18/toronto-councillor-who-wanted-police-defunded-says-protestors-should-be-charged/

Toronto City Councillor Mike Layton alerted Toronto Police Services on Twitter to a weekend anti-lockdown rally despite repeatedly calling for the city to defund the police.

Layton accused the protesters of having “terrorized businesses and community members” and said that promoting protests should “have consequences” before tagging the official Toronto Police Services account.

“Promoting dangerous super spreader events should have consequences. They are not attempting to follow public health protocols and prompt the opposite. Also plenty of dangerous hate speech. They have terrorized businesses and community members long enough,” tweeted Layton on May 15.

In a follow-up tweet later that day, Layton wrote that organizers of the rallies and its promoters “should also be charged.”

On Saturday, thousands of supporters showed up to a planned “World Wide Rally for Freedom” in Toronto.

“I have regularly asked police why this is tolerated and they maintain [it] would be a greater public health threat if they began to issue tickets at these anti-mask rally’s. Councillors are not, nor should we, have the authority to direct the police on the enforcement of laws,” tweeted Layton.

At the same time as the Freedom Rally, there were dueling Palestinian and Israeli protests also taking place in the city. According to CP24, several individuals were arrested as a result of the rallies.

Layton has repeatedly joined his other councillors and Toronto Mayor John Tory to call for police to be defunded in accordance with the goals of the Black Lives Matter movement.

In February, a motion by Layton to explore defunding the city’s police was passed by Toronto City Council, with 22 councillors voting for and 4 voting against Layton’s motion.

“[We] are being over policed. We put too much responsibility on police & budget has ballooned. We need to defund and reinvest in communities & public safety measures best suited to the job. My motion called for transfer of more responsibilities for non-violent calls away from police,” tweeted Layton about the motion.

True North reached out to Layton to ask what “consequences” anti-lockdown protesters should face but did not receive a response by the time this article was published.

Ottawa school board hosts all-ages “drag storytime” and “decolonizing gender” event

https://tnc.news/2021/05/18/ottawa-school-board-hosts-all-ages-drag-storytime-and-decolonizing-gender-event/

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s (OCDSB) 16th Annual Rainbow Youth Forum will include a “drag storytime” and an event on “decolonizing gender” for this year’s virtual programming.

The forum will be taking place on May 20, 2021 and is open to students of “all ages.” According to the OCDSB, the forum is part of the OCDSB’s “Inclusive, Safe and Caring Programs” initiative.

“The 16th Annual Rainbow Youth Forum will include Decolonizing Gender, Drag Storytime, Workshops for Students and Staff, Chill Zone and a Rainbow Spring Fling Dance! This interactive virtual event will allow participants to ask questions and share their thoughts,” reads the event description.

“The RYF encourages safe and inclusive school environments by providing an opportunity to enhance knowledge and awareness about equity and diversity issues. The RYF aims to help build knowledge and understanding of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, as well as homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia.”

According to the event page, the forum is only open for registration for OCDSB students, parents and staff.

Drag storytimes are controversial events where adult men or women in drag attire read to children in the audience. Critics of the practice claim that the events serve to sexualize children and confuse their understanding of sexuality at an early age.

In 2019, a petition by the Canadian outlet LifeSiteNews and the pro-life group Personhood Alliance calling for the American Library Association to end the practice received over 100,000 signatures and prompted a reponse from the Association.

True North reached out to the OCDSB for clarification on the event and what “decolonizing gender” meant but did not receive a response by the time this article was published.

Government report calls for expansion of data collection from COVID Alert app

https://tnc.news/2021/05/18/government-report-calls-for-expansion-of-data-collection-from-covid-alert-app/

An interim report on the government’s COVID Alert app is calling for the government to “expand” its data collection to find new ways to deploy the app.

First reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, an advisory council’s report on the use of the COVID Alert app highlighted how data collected by the app could be used for other government projects beyond contact tracing.

“The Government of Canada has begun to broadly consider how the COVID Alert app could potentially extend beyond a government service to Canadians and the public health systems towards a tool that will also support Canadians and businesses in our economic, social and mental health recovery and restoration,” the report reads.

According to the most recent figures, 6,537,346 devices downloaded the app, or less than 19% of all devices.

Adoption of the app was significantly below government goals, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying the government hoped it would be downloaded on 50% of all devices.

In an effort to allay privacy concerns, Trudeau previously stated Canadians could trust the app to be safe, secure, and anonymous.

“It’s something you can just download and forget about because it’s completely anonymous, because it’s low maintenance, because it is completely respectful of your privacy including no location services or geotagging of any sort, people can be confident.”

The report acknowledges there could be privacy concerns from using data from the app, adding the federal government should consider the consequences of betraying public trust.

“The Council wants to continue to be engaged in discussions on collection of data, particularly the viability of data collection given privacy considerations,” the report says.

“The Council has indicated the Government of Canada must continue to carefully consider the risks of public perception and trust from a privacy perspective when considering additional data collection,” it continues.

“The expected outcomes associated with additional data collection should be clearly articulated to ensure it outweighs the risk.”

Former CRTC officials condemn Bill C-10 as “authoritarian”

https://tnc.news/2021/05/18/former-crtc-officials-condemn-bill-c-10-as-authoritarian/

Two former Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) commissioners and a former federal director of telecom policy signed onto a petition that criticized the Liberal government’s incoming internet regulation bill, C-10, as a step towards authoritarianism.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, included in the signatories to the petition were CRTC ex-chair Konrad von Finckenstein, former CRTC commissioner Timothy Denton and former director general of telecom policy at the Department of Industry Leaonard St-Aubin.

“It appears Canada is not immune to the growing trend of government intervention to curtail freedom and seek to control parts of the internet’s infrastructure in ways reminiscent of actions taken by authoritarian governments,” wrote the petition.

“We are Canadian internet policy and technical professionals writing as concerned experts and on behalf of all those who care about the future of a free and open internet.”

A decision by Liberal members of the House of Commons heritage committee to strip Bill C-10 of an amendment which effectively protected user-generated content from CRTC regulation sparked national outrage over free speech concerns.

Experts, including University of Ottawa Professor Michael Geist, have been vocal critics of the legislation.

Yesterday, Geist appeared before the committee, where he called Liberal attempts to regulate the content of Canadains “entirely unworkable” and “a threat to freedom of expression.”

“I will speak to the freedom of expression implications in a moment, but must pause to note that no one – literally no other country – uses broadcast regulation to regulate user generated content in this way. There are good reasons that all other countries reject this approach,” said Geist during his opening remarks.

Earlier this month, the Justice Ministry put out an updated charter statement which claimed that the bill still abided by Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms despite the amendment’s removal. However, according to Geist, the statement did nothing to address concerns experts have repeatedly raised about the bill.

“From a Charter perspective, the statement issued by Justice last week simply does not contain analysis or discussion about how the regulation of user generated content as a program intersects with the Charter,” said Geist.

Liberal Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault has responded to criticism of the bill by lashing out at opponents and accusing critics of the bill of playing into an “extremist element” of the Conservative Party.

Bloc Québécois push to pass Liberal’s Bill C-10 without further debate

https://tnc.news/2021/05/18/bloc-quebecois-push-to-pass-liberals-bill-c-10-without-further-debate/

Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanche has indicated that his party will fall in line behind the minority Liberal government and support the government’s controversial sweeping internet censorship bill, C-10.

Blanchet made the announcement on the CBC French-language program Tout le monde en parle while appearing on a panel with NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Liberal Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault, who was charged with drafting the legislation.

According to Blanchet, his party is prepared to fast track the legislation so that the law is adopted this summer, even though critics have called for the government to scrap the legislation.

“It’s exceptional, but if the government agrees, we are prepared to launch a process of time allocation and rapid adoption so that Quebec’s cultural sector and the Canadian cultural sector can have this bill adopted before the end of the session,” said Blanchet in French.

This week, dozens of high profile Canadians and organizations including two former senior Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) signed a petition blasting the Liberal government’s bill as a step towards “authoritarian” style politics.

“It appears Canada is not immune to the growing trend of government intervention to curtail freedom and seek to control parts of the internet’s infrastructure in ways reminiscent of actions taken by authoritarian governments,” wrote the petition.

“We are Canadian internet policy and technical professionals writing as concerned experts and on behalf of all those who care about the future of a free and open internet.”

Controversy around the bill came to a head when Liberal members of the House of Commons heritage committee voted to strip Bill C-10 of an amendment which would protect user-generated content from CRTC regulation.

Conservative Party Leader Erin O’Toole has promised to repeal Bill C-10 should he be elected in the upcoming election.

“Canada’s Conservatives support creating a level playing field between large foreign streaming services and Canadian broadcasters, and championing Canadian arts and culture. A Conservative government would do so without compromising Canadians’ fundamental rights and freedoms,” said O’Toole in a statement released on Thursday.

“We are calling on Justin Trudeau to withdraw Bill C-10 today. If this is not done, a Conservative government will stand up for Canadians and repeal this deeply flawed legislation. While the NDP and the Bloc may look the other way on the freedom of expression, Canada’s Conservatives will not.”

Ottawa children’s hospital could turn to adult hospitals as mental health cases increase

https://tnc.news/2021/05/18/ottawa-childrens-hospital-could-turn-to-adult-hospitals-as-mental-health-cases-increase/

The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) could soon be looking to Ottawa’s other hospitals to ease the burden brought on by the dramatic increase of young people needing mental health care.

The possibility of sending older teenage patients to adult hospitals came about after a regional hospital roundtable in early May. The vice president of mental health and addictions at CHEO Joanne Lowe told CBC News it is the first time the hospital has considered implementing this measure.

“I’ve been involved in mental health for over 30 years and I’ve never seen [demand] like this, ever,” said Lowe. “This is the next pandemic, and the needs aren’t going to end when this pandemic ends.”

CHEO said the number of emergency mental health assessments for young people has increased 50% since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lowe said doctors at CHEO are seeing more cases of depression, anxiety, drug overdoses and suicidal thoughts. Eating disorders are taking up the majority of resources in the mental health unit.

CHEO has 25 inpatient mental health beds, nine of which are set aside for patients who are refusing to eat, binge eating or purging their food. Lowe said the number of patients with eating disorders has skyrocketed since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

“We are seeing 18 to 22 kids in hospital at one time with eating disorders, and remember, we only have nine beds,” she said.

True North contributor Anthony Furey said in a tweet that this capacity problem demonstrates why lockdown measures need to be eased.

“If the logic is that we lock down all of society to protect the hospitals, and now those lockdowns are causing children’s hospitals to be overwhelmed, doesn’t that mean we must immediately end lockdowns for kids to protect the hospitals?” said Furey.

Lowe said once CHEO’s mental health beds are full, there are eight youth spaces at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre that can be used. If those beds fill up, older teens can be admitted into mental health units at the Monfort, Queensway Carleton or Ottawa hospitals.

The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto has reported a similar increase in eating disorders among young people.

Dr. Michael Yeadon: ‘Not One Of Those Things Is Supported By The Science’

https://tapnewswire.com/2021/05/dr-michael-yeadon-not-one-of-those-things-is-supported-by-the-science/

You were warned. Michael Yeadon, PhD, the consummate whistleblower from inside the Big Pharma world, says the entire pandemic narrative is a web of lies: “not one of those things is supported by the science… I think we are standing at the very gates of hell … It’s all about control.” ⁃ TN Editor

How do you market and implement a financial system that nobody would want if they understood its full ramifications — a change so huge that it not only would mean the end of currency as we know it, but a total revision of sovereignty and individual rights?

In the interview above, which is part of the full-length documentary “Planet Lockdown,”1 Michael Yeadon, Ph.D., a life science researcher and former vice-president and chief scientist of allergy and respiratory research at Pfizer, shares his views on the COVID-19 pandemic, fast-tracked COVID-19 “vaccines,” the issue of mutated virus variants and the need for booster shots, and how this manufactured crisis is being used to strip us of our civil liberties.

Are You Putting the Pieces Together?

Yeadon has a degree in biochemistry and toxicology and a research-based Ph.D. in respiratory pharmacology. He’s spent 32 years of his career working for large pharmaceutical companies, and 10 years in the biotechnology sector.

“I’m in favor of all modes of new medical treatments, whether they’re biologicals or vaccines, small molecules, creams, sprays, ointments, whatever, but I’m fervently against unsafe medicines or medicines used in an inappropriate context,” Yeadon says.

“Some of the things I’m going to say are not favorable to the current crop of gene-based vaccines and it’s [because] they’re being inappropriately used. I don’t think they have a sufficient safety profile to be used as a sort of wide-spectrum public health prophylactic …

A few things have allowed me, I think, to spot what’s going on in the world at the moment. One, I’ve loved biology since I was little. I’ve been continuing to learn and to apply biology broadly, whether it’s pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular biology [or] toxicology. I’ve got a very broad grounding in all things to do with life science, in terms of health and disease.

[Secondly], one of my former supervisors said that I had a remarkable facility that stood out above the sort of ordinary things you’d have to do to be a vice president or a CEO. He said I was able to spot patterns in sparse data earlier than my peers. So, when there’s not enough data for most people to judge what was going on, I would often be able to see it.

I could see a pattern forming when there wasn’t quite enough information … On this occasion, it allowed me, quite quickly, to work out that what we were being told about this virus and what we needed to do in order to stay safe was simply not true.”

The global pandemic isn’t over yet despite high Covid vaccination rates in some countries, the head of the World Health Organization warned.

“There is a huge disconnect growing where in some countries with the highest vaccination rates, there appears to be a mindset that the pandemic is over, while others are experiencing huge waves of infections,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.

“The pandemic is a long way far from over,” he warned. “It will not be over anywhere until it’s over everywhere.”

The global pandemic isn’t over yet despite high Covid vaccination rates in some countries, the head of the World Health Organization warned on Monday, days after the CDC told fully vaccinated Americans they can go without masks in most places.

“There is a huge disconnect growing where in some countries with the highest vaccination rates, there appears to be a mindset that the pandemic is over, while others are experiencing huge waves of infections,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a news conference from the agency’s Geneva headquarters.

Open letter to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/open-letter-to-the-college-of-physicians-and-surgeons-of-british-columbia

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC has failed in its mission to 'act first and foremost in the interest of the public,' by stifling genuine inquiry into what is best for patients and threatening to sanction any doctor who dares to question the merits of the prevailing measures.

May 19, 2021 (Vaccine Choice Canada) – Open Letter to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC.

The recent statement issued by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC (CPSBC) is a clear violation of the mission of the CPSBC to “act first and foremost in the interest of the public.” The CPSBC fails in this duty by stifling genuine inquiry into what is best for patients and threatening to sanction any doctor who dares to question the merits of the prevailing measures.

Health Canada, and also the federal and provincial governments, have imposed measures that have never been utilized before and are not in alignment with standard pandemic procedures. This includes indiscriminate lockdowns, physical distancing, extensive use of face coverings, closure of schools, businesses, and places of worship, and emergency use authorization of unapproved genetic treatments that have not completed standard clinical trials.

Instead of recognizing that these measures do not appear to be working, and that other governments globally have ended these same measures, governments across Canada insist on doing more of the same regardless of the negative consequences. To date, our BC government and public health authorities have failed to provide appropriate scientific and medical evidence to support these measures in spite of numerous requests and legal proceedings filed against them. Public Health officials have also refused to participate in open and transparent debate on their measures with both the public and their own medical professionals.

In July 2020, Vaccine Choice Canada filed legal action against the Government of Canada, Government of Ontario, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Teresa Tam and others. The defendants have failed to submit a Statement of Defence. It is not unreasonable to conclude that the various governments have not filed a statement of defence because they are unable to defend the use of the imposed measures.

There is a growing body of expert opinion globally which recognizes that these measures are doing more harm than good. The Great Barrington Declaration, which strongly advocates for an end to indiscriminate lockdowns, has been signed by more than 45,000 health care professionals globally. For the CPSBC to imply that the science is settled and that anyone who disagrees with the measures, or reports the harm caused by the measures is spreading ‘misinformation’, is unethical and immoral and cannot be tolerated.

The unfortunate reality is that the CPSBC is not alone in acting against physicians in this way. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) has similarly attempted to bully and censor its physicians. The public is rapidly losing trust in a medical system that rigidly follows policy dictates, disregards the patient’s experience, acts without reliable scientific data, denies the ethical and legal right to informed consent, and attempts to silence our frontline health care professionals.

Vaccine Choice Canada honours doctors as Dr. Stephen Malthouse and Dr. Charles Hoffe for their courage, integrity, and commitment to the health of their patients. This is what ethical doctors do. The muzzling of debate and silencing of frontline experts not only harms patients, it undermines the credibility of the CPSBC in the eyes of the public. The consequences of this loss of trust will be far reaching.

We strongly advise the CPSBC to withdraw their statement and instead issue a statement in support of BC physicians that “act first and foremost in the interest of their patients.”

I look forward to your considered response.

Sincerely,

Ted Kuntz, President Vaccine Choice Canada

Third jailed Canadian pastor to walk free after spending three days in prison

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/third-jailed-canadian-pastor-to-walk-free-after-spending-three-days-in-prison

Pastor Tim Stephens was arrested after holding an indoor church service which went against Alberta’s health rules.

CALGARY, Alberta, May 18, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — The third Canadian Christian pastor to be jailed for defying COVID-19 health rules will be released after a judge yesterday agreed to let him out so long as he abides by a now-amended May 6 injunction order issued by the Alberta Health Services (AHS).

Pastor Tim Stephens of Fairview Baptist Church in Calgary, Alberta, was arrested in front of his family and then jailed on Sunday, May 16, after holding an indoor church service which went against the provincial government’s rules.

Stephens and his church have for months been under surveillance by AHS, the Calgary Police Service, and city bylaw officers because they have not bowed to government rules which limit worship congregation size and mandate masks. Additionally, Fairview Baptist was visited on multiple occasions by AHS and police.

According to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), the legal group representing Stephens, AHS had wanted to keep him in jail until he agreed to “consent to the violation of his Charter rights and freedoms by Alberta’s public health orders.”

The JCCF noted that Stephens was arrested based on a May 6 court injunction issued by Associate Chief Justice Rooke, which was directed at the owner of Whistle Stop Café in Mirror, Alberta, who had defied government health orders and opened for dine-in service.

“The May 6 injunction does not apply to Pastor Stephens, nor did it apply to him at the time of his arrest. His arrest and current detention are illegal,” said lawyer and JCCF President John Carpay. “Alberta Health Services knows that the May 6 injunction, which originally applied to all Albertans having notice of this injunction, was amended by Associate Chief Justice Rooke on May 13. Since then, this injunction has applied only to Whistle Stop Café and certain named or affiliated individuals.”

In a court hearing today, Justice Germain of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench said Stephens could be freed. At the same time, he noted that the terms of his release could be “varied on one day’s notice,” according to the JCCF.

The JCCF said that AHS has obtained their May 6 injunction against the Whistle Stop Café and other individuals in a “secret court proceeding” which gave police “special powers to arrest its owners and other citizens immediately if they dared to continue exercising their Charter rights and freedoms in the face of public health orders.”

The May 6 injunction was originally worded to apply to every Albertan, with AHS stating in a May 6 news release that they were happy with the news.

On May 13, the JCCF announced it successfully had the court amend the May 6 injunction so that it would not apply to all Albertans but only to those listed in court orders.

Before the May 6 injunction, police in Alberta could issue fines of up to $2,000 to those who attend peaceful and constitutionally legal protests.

According to the JCCF, court applications made without notice to the “other side” are normally retained for actual emergencies and “extreme situations, like seeking a restraining order against a violent domestic partner.”

“If providing proper notice of a court application might trigger a violent assault, the victim can obtain an injunction against the abuser without providing prior notice,” noted the JCCF.

“There was no emergency taking place in Mirror, Alberta, that warrants a court application without notice to Whistle Stop Café and its owners. The Alberta Government had already been issuing massive fines against individuals, while at the same time refusing to produce medical and scientific evidence in court actions in which Albertans have challenged the validity of public health orders for violating their Charter rights and freedoms,” said Carpay.

Carpay and the JCCF have been active in many legal cases, both in Alberta and Canada-wide, notably serving as legal counsel for Alberta Pastor James Coates of Grace Life Church, who was jailed for 35 days for defying COVID health rules. Coates’ trial will resume on June 7.

In addition to Coates and Stephens, Pastor Artur Pawlowski of the Cave of Adullam church, also located in Calgary, was arrested on a highway and jailed for defying COVID-19 health rules. He was released from jail after a three-day stay.

During lockdown Ontario reports highest ever number of euthanasia deaths

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/during-lockdown-ontario-reports-highest-ever-number-of-euthanasia-deaths

The Ontario data indicates that in the first four months of 2021 there were 853 reported assisted deaths. April 2021 had the highest number of assisted deaths ever with 241. There have now been 24,000 estimated assisted deaths in Canada since legalization.

May 19, 2021 (Euthanasia Prevention Coalition) – The April 2021 (MAiD) euthanasia data for Ontario indicates that even though the Province of Ontario has been under a strict COVID-19 “lock-down,” April 2021 saw the highest number of euthanasia deaths since legalization.

Since the federal government has been slow in releasing euthanasia data, the death data from the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario, which represents 39% of Canada’s population, provides us with a strong indication of the trend in euthanasia deaths in Canada.

The Ontario data indicates that in the first four months of 2021 there were 853 reported assisted deaths. April 2021 had the highest number of assisted deaths ever with 241.

As of April 30, 2021 there has been 7549 reported assisted deaths in Ontario since legalization. 7547 were euthanasia deaths (lethal injection) and 2 were assisted suicide deaths (lethal prescription).

The number of assisted deaths has been continually increasing in Ontario. There was a 33% increase in 2020 with 2378 reported assisted deaths, up from 1789 in 2019, 1499 in 2018, 841 in 2017, and 189 in 2016. Euthanasia was legalized in June 2016.

The number of cumulative reported Ontario assisted deaths indicates a trend:

December 31, 2018 - 2529 deaths (30 months),

First 6 months of 2019 - (774 deaths), Second 6 months of 2019 (1015 deaths),

First 6 months of 2020 - (1127 deaths), Second 6 months of 2020 (1251 deaths),

First 4 months of 2021 - (853 deaths).

In July, 2020, Health Canada released its first annual report on (MAiD). The data was gathered from the reports submitted by the physicians and nurse practitioners who assisted the deaths. There is no requirement that a third party or neutral person submit the euthanasia reports to ensure accuracy. We do not expect an update from Health Canada until July 2021

The data from the report indicated that in 2019, there were 5,631 MAID deaths reported in Canada, up from 4467 in 2018, accounting for 2.0% of all deaths. When all data sources are considered, there were 13,946 medically assisted deaths reported in Canada from legalization until December 31, 2019.

The COVID-19 virus may have been released in Wuhan, but like all modern military weapons, it was jointly developed and manufactured.

There are still gaps in the story, but here is what is presently known.

The creation of the COVID-19 virus was entirely under the command and control of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), led by presumed head of China’s biowarfare program, Major General Wei Chen, while under the day-to-day supervision of key members of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences.

Nova Scotia Supreme Court orders ban of all anti-COVID vaccine protests

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/nova-scotia-supreme-court-orders-ban-of-all-anti-covid-vaccine-protests

'This injunction order is stunning in its breadth and overreach,' Lisa Bildy, lawyer for the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) told LifeSiteNews.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, May 19, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – A Canadian provincial Supreme Court has ordered a “halt” to all “anti-vaccine and anti-public health order protests,” through a court injunction, a move which one constitutional lawyer says is a spectacular display of “overreach.”

“This injunction order is stunning in its breadth and overreach. Essentially, it is prohibiting anyone in the province of Nova Scotia from exercising their freedom of peaceful assembly, or even posting about it on social media. If they do, they face arrest and contempt of court proceedings which could lead to significant fines and even jail time,” Lisa Bildy, lawyer for the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) told LifeSiteNews.

In statement sent out last Friday, Nova Scotia Justice Scott Norton granted the injunction to “prohibit” all rallies which go against to province’s health orders.

“The Supreme Court of Nova Scotia has ordered a halt to anti-vaccine and anti-public health order protests, effective immediately,” reads a press release from the provincial government of Nova Scotia announcing a new court injunction banning anti COVID-19 protests.

According to the Nova Scotia government, the injunction “prohibits any rally that would contravene the province’s public health directives,” as well as promoting such events on social media.

Bildy said that in his court order, Norton made “numerous assumptions about the benefits and necessity of lockdowns,” and stakes the claim that “science, medicine and common sense are all on the side of the government's unprecedented measures taken over the last 14 months.”

However, Bildy told LifeSiteNews that the order was made “without notice to any other party, and therefore without any evidence to the contrary or cross-examination of the government's witness which might challenge those assumptions.”

“The order doesn't just apply to those named in it, but to anyone who ‘acts independently to like effect’ and has notice of it,” said Bildy.

The injunction came about because of planned protest which was to be held on May 15 by the group “Freedom Nova Scotia.”

In a Facebook post, the group said they had cancelled the May 15 event “under duress.”

“Canadians have a right to freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of association in Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in The Constitution Act of Canada, 1982 and Part 1 of the Canadian Bill of Rights. These rights do not go away just because of a provincial ‘health emergency,’” stated the group.

According to Justice Norton, the group’s plan to stage an anti COVID-19 lockdown rally showed “a callous and shameful disregard for the health and safety of their fellow citizens.”

The move to bar its residents to freely express their constitutional right to protest draconian COVID-19 health rules happened under Liberal Party Premier of Nova Scotia Iain Rankin.

Rankin said that all “Nova Scotians must respect the public health orders and directives.”

Alberta constitutional lawyer warns that new COVID bill will ‘entrench dangerous new gov’t powers’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/alberta-constitutional-lawyer-warns-that-new-covid-bill-will-entrench-dangerous-new-govt-powers

'In short, Bill 66 further entrenches the already authoritarian and arbitrary rule of one unelected official at the expense of due process, fundamental justice and the civil liberties of Albertans'

CALGARY, Alberta, May 19, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – A lawyer for one of Canada’s leading constitutional rights groups is warning that a new bill in the province of Alberta will give the government dangerous new powers by entrenching the “authoritarianism of the Chief Medical Officer of Health.”

“In short, Bill 66 further entrenches the already authoritarian and arbitrary rule of one unelected official at the expense of due process, fundamental justice and the civil liberties of Albertans,” wrote lawyer and President of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) John Carpay, in a recent opinion piece.

"Unfortunately, Bill 66 worsens the status quo, by entrenching the authoritarianism of the Chief Medical Officer of Health to continue making laws for Albertans without input from the elected Members of the Legislative Assembly. Bill 66 places no checks on Dr. Deena Hinshaw, and instead expands her already undemocratic and authoritarian powers.”

Carpay’s opinion price was written in regard to Bill 66, the Public Health Amendment Act, 2021, which was introduced by Alberta’s Health Minister Tyler Shandro in April of this year, to repeal Bill 10, a law passed in haste in April of 2020 by the Alberta government under Premier Jason Kenney in response to COVID-19.

Shortly after Bill 10 was introduced, a public outcry ensued, with opponents of the bill protesting that it gave too much power to ministers and that it was a severe government overreach.

Further dooming Bill 10 was the fact that it was passed in only 48 hours, despite strong opposition from the Alberta NDP, who wanted the bill to include a sunset clause along with transparency rules included.

The JCCF took the Alberta government to court over Bill 10, arguing that it gave “sweeping, undemocratic powers” to Kenney and his ministers and that it is a “blatant violation of Canada’s constitution.”

According to Carpay, Kenney simply “lied” in trying to justify the sweeping powers afforded under Bill 10.

“Alberta Premier Jason Kenney simply lied about it. He told Albertans that he was merely ‘clarifying existing powers in the Public Health Act,’ when in fact Bill 10 gave new, sweeping, undemocratic powers to him and his ministers. Now, 12 months and one court action later, cabinet ministers stand to lose a power they should never have received in the first place,” wrote Carpay.

As a result of the negative backlash to Bill 10, the Kenney government promised it would look into the concerning parts of the bill and repeal them, which is what Bill 66 was reportedly introduced to accomplish.

Carpay said that there was good news in Bill 66, namely that the “worst section” of Bill 10 will be repealed (minister overreach), along with a decades old mandatory vaccinations section of the Public Health Act.

“The mandatory vaccinations section of the Public Health Act will be repealed after 37 years on the books. This is a victory for the right of every Albertan to determine what will – or will not – be injected into her or his body. This brings this section of the Public Health Act into line with the Nuremburg Code of 1947,” wrote Carpay.

However according to Carpay, Bill 66, despite two good sections, is in fact worse overall than Bill 10 and is full of “worrisome” steps backwards.

Under Bill 66, Carpay says that the first step “backwards” is the fact that Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, “is not required to provide regular reports to the Legislature containing the medical and scientific basis for her society-crippling and economy-destroying orders.”

Canadian Mayor Claims Anti-Lockdown Protests Are ‘Thinly Veiled White Nationalist Supremacist’ Activities

Chris Tomlinson 12 May 2021

Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi has claimed that anti-mask and anti-lockdown protests in Canada during the pandemic are “thinly veiled white nationalist supremacist” activities and condemned demonstrators.

Nenshi, who became the first Muslim mayor of a major Canadian city in 2010, spoke out about the anti-lockdown rallies during a television interview over the weekend.

“Those people at those anti-mask protests, let’s not kid ourselves. They’re not people who [are protesting because they] need to eat. They are people who are marching in thinly veiled white nationalist supremacist anti-government protests,” he told Canadian broadcaster Global News.

You thought it would be OK to say nothing and just agree, right?https://t.co/Vx7Ylf3woB

Nenshi’s comments came as Calgary police arrested Polish-Canadian pastor Artur Pawlowski and his brother after he had held in-person church services, contrary to the Wuhan virus lockdown regulations in place in the province of Alberta.

In April, a video of Pawlowski went viral across social media, showing him expelling police from his church after officers disrupted an Easter service and denouncing the officers as “Gestapo Nazi communist fascists”.

Pawlowski is not the first Christian pastor in Alberta to be arrested for violating the lockdown restrictions in recent months, with Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church of Edmonton being arrested in February.

The trial for Pastor Coates began last week, with Coates arguing that the provincial lockdown restrictions are a violation of freedom of religion and freedom of assembly.

Far-left New Democrat leader Jagmeet Singh joined Nenshi in condemning anti-lockdown protests, telling reporters on Monday that he believed the demonstrations were linked to far-right extremism and saying: “To brazenly not follow public health guidelines puts people at risk and that is something that we’ve seen with extreme right-wing ideology.”

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN), a group funded by the government of Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau to the amount of $268,400 CA ($221,600 U.S./£156,600), has also linked the anti-lockdown protests to far-right extremism.

On Twitter, the group reacted to the detention of Pastor Pawlowski by claiming the arrest would be used to “grift” and raise money, alleging: “These people love being martyrs.”

Ontario saw 75% spike in opioid overdoses during pandemic in 2020: report

https://tnc.news/2021/05/19/ontario-saw-75-spike-in-opioid-overdoses-during-pandemic-in-2020-report/

A new report reveals that deadly opioid overdoses were up 75% following the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 when compared to deaths the year prior.

The report which was published by the Ontario Drug Policy Research Network through Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital revealed that 2,050 people died of opioid overdoses between March and December 2020.

In comparison, 1,162 people died from opioid overdoses over the same time period in 2019.

“It’s alarming because these increases in overdose deaths are continuing unabated,” report co-author Tara Gomes told CP24.

According to Gomes, the COVID-19 pandemic is a contributing factor to the spike in deadly overdoses.

“The COVID 19 pandemic has really accelerated the rate at which fatal opioid overdoses are occurring across the province,” Gomes said.

“This is in part due to an increasingly unpredictable drug supply that is contaminated and highly toxic, but also the changes in access to health-care services, as well as the places where people are living, and the lack of support that people have now in the community.”

The report also noted that the deadly and highly potent synthetic opioid fentanyl has played a bigger role in the number of deaths reported as of late. As noted in the study, fentanyl played a role in 87% of all opioid deaths whereas in 2019 the deadly drug was detected in only 75% of cases.

People between the ages of 25 to 44 seem to be most affected by the increase in deadly overdoses with 1,109 deaths reported in that age group.

Ontario’s homeless population has also been heavily impacted by the drug crisis with 323 deaths reported in 2020 compared to 135 deaths recorded the year prior.

The study seems to reinforce prior reports of opioid overdoses in the province. In November, Public Health Ontario reported that in the first 15 weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, 695 people had died of opioid-related deaths.

The findings revealed a 38% increase when compared to the 15 weeks immediately before the pandemic.

Politifact Quietly Admits COVID-19 Lab Escape Not 'Debunked Conspiracy Theory'

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/politifact-quietly-admits-covid-19-lab-escape-not-debunked-conspiracy-theory

Last January, when China and the World Health Organization (WHO) were performing damage control for Beijing over a mysterious new coronavirus which broke out in the same town as their secretive bat coronavirus lab (with whom, unbeknownst to most at the time, a Fauci-funded NGO called EcoHealth Alliance had been working), anyone who logically suggested a link between the secretive lab and the new disease was immediately punished by Silicon Valley tech giants who protected China from those who dare speculate based on very. obvious. clues.

Wuhan Institute of Virology

Twitter suspended Zero Hedge after a BuzzFeed journalist (later fired for plagiarism) accused us of 'doxxing a Chinese scientist it falsely accused of creating coronavirus' (with publicly available information). Five months later Twitter restored our account after mounting public pressure - saying they had "made an error."

Facebook banned our articles - and policed COVID 'disinformation' based on the word of so-called "fact checkers" who insisted that the new disease couldn't have possibly escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and must have emerged via yet-to-be discovered animal intermediaries between bats and humans. Of course, one of Facebook's "fact checkers" worked at the Wuhan lab.

Former Wuhan lab worker and Facebook fact checker, Danielle Anderson, who collaborated nine times with bat-covid researcher, Peng Zhou

And then there's Politifact, which wrote this blaring headline in a September 2020 "fact check":

"Tucker Carlson guest airs debunked conspiracy theory that COVID-19 was created in a lab."

Now, almost exactly one year and one president later, Politifact has issued a major 'correction.' and 'archived' the fact-check.

"When this fact check was first published in September 2020, PolitiFact's sources concluded researchers who asserted the SARS-CoV-2 virus could not have been manipulated. That assertion is now more widely disputed."

While Politifact defenders argue that the 'fact checker' is simply holding themselves accountable - they decreed the lab escape theory to be 'debunked' - as in proven false - at the same time as former President Trump - and individuals credentials equal or better to their 'sources' were saying otherwise.

The Same Pattern Everywhere?

https://tapnewswire.com/2021/05/the-same-pattern-everywhere/

Why is this happening?

Mass vaccination was supposed to reduce the threat of Covid but– in the short-term– it appears to make it much worse. Why? And why is Covid now “surging in 4 of 5 the most vaccinated countries”? According to Forbes magazine:

“Countries with the world’s highest vaccination rates—including four of the top five most vaccinated—are fighting to contain coronavirus outbreaks that are, on a per-capita basis, higher than the surge devastating India, a trend that has experts questioning the efficacy of some vaccines … and the wisdom of easing restrictions even with most of the population vaccinated.” (Covid Surges…Here’s why the US should Worry”, Forbes)

Worse than India? How can that be? And why have 8 “fully vaccinated” members of the New York Yankees tested positive for Covid? Here’s the story from the Associated Press:

“New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres tested positive for Covid-19 despite being fully vaccinated and having previously contracted the coronavirus during the offseason. Torres is among eight so-called breakthrough positives among the Yankees — people who tested positive despite being fully vaccinated.” (NBC News)

And if that’s not confusing enough, check out what’s going on in Cambodia. Cambodia began its vaccination campaign in early February after having compiled zero fatalities. That’s right, the country had no Covid deaths until March, a few weeks after it started its vaccination program. And that’s when the deaths started piling up.

So, let’s see if we can figure this out. There were zero fatalities before the launching of the vaccination campaign, but soon after the injections began, the fatalities started to mount. Do you think there might be a connection here? Do you think that, perhaps, the deaths are linked to the vaccines?

Of course, they are. And, that’s why the media is trying to sweep this story under the rug. It doesn’t fit with the “official narrative” about the vaccines, so they’ve decided to “vanish” the story altogether. “Poof” and it’s gone! And, actually, it’s worse than a cover-up because– shortly after Biden took office– the CDC changed its testing methodology making it harder to test positive. In other words, they rigged the system so it would look like fewer “fully vaccinated” people had contracted Covid after inoculation. Dr. Joseph Mercola explains what’s going on behind the scenes:

“Now, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has lowered the CT even further, in what appears to be a clear effort to hide COVID-19 breakthrough cases, meaning cases in which fully vaccinated individuals are being diagnosed with COVID-19.” (“CDC embarks on a new Covid Coverup”, Mercola. com)

It’s all a big shell game. They’re gaming the system to make it look like the vaccines are stopping infection when the evidence proves the opposite. And notice the deliberately-misleading moniker the media invented for the people who get Covid after being vaccinated. They call them “Breakthrough cases”.

“Breakthrough”? Really?

COVID vaccines may not work on millions who have underlying conditions, yet CDC continues to recommend they get the shot

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/covid-vaccines-may-not-work-on-millions-who-have-underlying-conditions-yet-cdc-continues-to-recommend-they-get-the-shot

Research shows people with underlying health disorders or on immunosuppressive medications mount few antibodies to COVID vaccines, leading some to question if they should get the vaccine and, if so, what are the potential risks?

May 20, 2021 (Children’s Health Defense) ­– Emerging research shows that 15% to 80% of people with certain medical conditions aren’t generating many antibodies, if any, after receiving a COVID vaccine.

According to NBC News, people taking medications that suppress their immune system, those on medication for inflammatory disorders and those with blood cancers showed a significantly weaker antibody response to the vaccine.

An organ transplant study published in JAMA found 46% of 658 transplant patients did not mount an antibody response after two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines. Researchers think the lack of reaction is probably a result of taking a class of immunosuppressive drugs, called antimetabolites.

“Although this study demonstrates an improvement in … antibody responses in transplant recipients after dose two … these data suggest that a substantial proportion of transplant recipients likely remain at risk for COVID-19 after two doses of mRNA vaccine,” researchers from Johns Hopkins wrote.

“I am quite disappointed that a significant amount of transplant patients did not get a reasonable response from both doses of the vaccine,” said Dr. Dorry Segev, author of the study, associate vice chair for research and professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins University.

“The overwhelming majority of transplant patients, even after a second dose of the vaccine, appear to have suboptimal protection — if any protection — from the vaccine, which is frightening, disappointing and a bit surprising,” Segev said.

One of Segev’s trial participants, Laura Burns, received a double lung transplant in 2016, and was taking immunosuppressive medications to prevent her body from rejecting the new lungs. Despite two doses of Moderna’s vaccine, her body did not mount any detectable antibodies to the virus.

However, Segev said he was hopeful because the number of participants who developed antibodies after two doses was higher than the number of people who developed antibodies after just one dose. He and other researchers said scientists are prepared with potential solutions, including a third booster or high-dose shots — though no clinical trials have been conducted yet.

Mounzer Agha, a hematologist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, led a study on blood cancers and COVID vaccines posted online before peer review. Agha said he was crushed when he saw the low antibody results for nearly half of the 67 patients his group tracked.

Pediatric organizations urge Ontario to re-open schools citing “mental health crisis”

https://tnc.news/2021/05/20/pediatric-organizations-urge-ontario-to-re-open-schools-citing-mental-health-crisis/

A dozen pediatric organizations including SickKids are urging the Ontario government to make reopening schools a priority, citing a “crisis in children’s mental health” as a result of COVID-19 pandemic closures.

“The impact of school closures and the resulting social isolation on the health and well-being of children and youth has become impossible to ignore. Getting Ontario’s students back into the classroom, with appropriate safety measures in place, for the remainder of this school year and for summer learning must be a priority now,” claimed the letter.

“We are witnessing a crisis in children’s mental health with a dramatic increase in the utilization of acute mental health services. Schools play an essential role in the recovery process. In-person school provides students with routine and structure, accountability, socialization and recognition of abuse and neglect.”

Other signatories to the open letter include the Canadian Pediatric Society, the Pediatricians Alliance of Ontario, Ottawa Community Pediatrician Network, Children First Canada, McMaster Children’s Hospital, the Coalition for Kids and several other similar groups.

According to the letter, the signatories have three requests: for schools to reopen “immediately”, for summer school learning to take place in-person and for schools to resume regular scheduling in September.

“With the decrease in COVID-19 hospitalizations in Ontario by over 50%, and with more than 50% of adults at least partially vaccinated, the decision to re-open schools at this time will have minimal, if any, impact on the health care system,” reads the open letter.

Recently, the Ontario government announced that it would continue forcing kids to learn virtually until a “consensus” is reached with teachers unions and public health advisors.

“On the one hand, we have some doctors saying they want to open the schools. On the other hand, we have the teachers’ unions saying we can’t do that right now,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said earlier this week.

“We need public health doctors, teachers and labour partners to agree on the best path forward … And we simply don’t have that right now.”

This is not the first time that children’s health specialists have raised the alarm about the growing mental health crisis faced by the province’s youth.

In April, the Ottawa Community Pediatricians Network warned that the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing lockdowns were causing more and more children to report serious mental health issues.

Dogs More Effective Than PCR Tests At Detecting COVID

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/new-study-shows-dogs-are-even-more-effective-detecting-covid-rapid-antigen-tests

Scientists and public health officials have been looking at all different kinds of alternatives to individual rapid COVID-19 tests to detect the presence of the virus, and in their search, they've landed on some strange alternatives. Some have resorted to testing poop in public sewers to detect traces of the virus, a method that has proven reliable in detecting outbreaks.

And as it happens, dogs - which have been used to sniff out everything from drugs to bombs - are also effective at sniffing out COVID-19, according to a new French study published by Bloomberg.

The dogs' ability to detect the virus was clocked at 97% sensitivity, a level that puts this method on par with the most reliable rapid antigen tests. The sniffing method was also found to be 91% specific - a technical measure of the dogs' ability to correctly identify negative samples. This 'sensitivity rating' is higher than that of many 15-minute antigen tests, which tend to be better at ruling out infection than at finding it.

And with Europe reopening its economy to vaccinated tourists on Wednesday, these study results couldn't have come at a better time. As Bloomberg points out, virus-sniffing dogs could be widely deployed in airports, train stations or anywhere crowds amass to screen people, much like they’re used for detecting drugs or bombs. Using dogs also means COVID could be identified at just a fraction of a second in a non-invasive manner, and in an extremely inexpensive manner (in theory, it wouldn't cost all that much to train the dogs, and the methods would be simple to those used to train drug and bomb-sniffing dogs).

The trial was carried out at France's National Veterinary School, according to Bloomberg, which shared some more details about the trial.

The trial, which was conducted at France’s National Veterinary School in Maisons Alfort near Paris, collected sweat samples from the armpits of the participants with cotton pads that were locked into jars and gave them to at least two different dogs for sniffing. None of the dogs had prior contact with the volunteers. There were 335 people tested, of which 109 were positive in a PCR test that served as a control. Nine dogs participated, and the researchers didn’t know which samples were positive.

In July, German researchers showed trained dogs were able to distinguish between saliva sampled from people infected with the virus and those who were not more than 90% of the time. Finland, Dubai and Switzerland have started training dogs to sniff out infections.

The latest study was conducted between March 16 and April 9, and the Ile-de-France region helped fund the trial, contributing 25,000 euros ($30,500).

Efforts to train dogs to sniff out COVID are underway across Europe, and the world. In the UK, a team from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine are training six dogs in the hope that they will be able to detect COVID-positive people, even if they have no symptoms. In Finland, sniffer dogs have been working to detect infected travelers at Helsinki Airport since September.

Israeli People Committee’s Report Find Catastrophic Side Effects Of Pfizer Vaccine To Every System I n Human Body

https://truth11.com/2021/05/21/israeli-people-committees-report-find-catastrophic-side-effects-of-pfizer-vaccine-to-every-system-i-n-human-body/

The Israeli People Committee (IPC), a civilian body made of leading Israeli health experts, has published its April report into the Pfizer vaccine’s side effects indicating damage to almost every system in the human body. If the findings by IPC are genuine, then Pfizer vaccine is linked to more deaths in Israel than AstraZeneca’s in the whole of Europe. The findings are catastrophic on every possible level. This is a detailed report that highlights the most devastating findings.

Israeli People Committee's Report Find Catastrophic Side Effects Of Pfizer Vaccine

The verdict of the Israeli People Committee is that “there has never been a vaccine that has harmed as many people.” The report is long and detailed (read full report below).

“We received 288 death reports in proximity to vaccination (90% up to 10 days after the vaccination), 64% of those were men.”

Yet the report states, “according to data provided by the Ministry of Health, only 45 deaths in Israel were vaccine related.”

If these are the genuine numbers, then Israel has failed to report on its experimental results genuinely.

We have been hearing a lot about the rare side effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine and more than 300 cases of blood clots found in Europe.

German scientists have found the exact 2 step process how the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine causes blood clots in recipients. They describe a series of events that has to happen in the body before the vaccines create these large clots.

If the findings by IPC are genuine, then Pfizer vaccine is linked to more deaths in Israel than AstraZeneca’s in the whole of Europe.

Meanwhile, the US CDC and FDA have lifted their recommended pause on use of Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine with a condition that it will now include a safety label warning that its vaccine comes with blood clot risks.

“According to Central Bureau of Statistics data during January-February 2021, at the peak of the Israeli mass vaccination campaign, there was a 22% increase in overall mortality in Israel compared with the previous year.”

“In fact, January-February 2021 have been the deadliest months in the last decade, with the highest overall mortality rates compared to corresponding months in the last 10 years.”

The IPC finds that “amongst the 20-29 age group the increase in overall mortality has been most dramatic. In this age group, we detect an increase of 32% in overall mortality in comparison with previous year.”

“Statistical analysis of information from the Central Bureau of Statistics, combined with information from the Ministry of Health, leads to the conclusion that the mortality rate amongst the vaccinated is estimated at about 1: 5000 (1: 13000 at ages 20-49, 1: 6000 at ages 50-69, 1: 1600 at ages 70+).”

“According to this estimate, it is possible to estimate the number of deaths in Israel in proximity of the vaccine, as of today, at about 1000-1100 people.”

If this is a genuine statistical analysis, then numbers reported by health authorities of Israel are misleading to a very great extent.

“There is a high correlation between the number of people vaccinated per day and the number of deaths per day, in the range of up to 10 days, in all age groups.”

“Ages 20-49 – a range of 9 days from the date of vaccination to mortality, ages 50-69 – 5 days from the date of vaccination to mortality, ages 70 and up – 3 days from the date of vaccination to mortality.”

The IPC also reveals that the “the risk of mortality after the second vaccine is higher than the risk of mortality after the first vaccine.”

This is not only about the death risk, as per the reports of IPC, “as of the date of publication of the report, 2066 reports of side effects have accumulated in the Civil Investigation Committee and the data continue to come in.

These reports indicate damage to almost every system in the human body. Our analysis found a relatively high rate of heart-related injuries.

26% of all cardiac events occurred in young people up to the age of 40, with the most common diagnosis in these cases being Myositis or Pericarditis.

Also, a high rate of massive vaginal bleeding, neurological damage, and damage to the skeletal and skin systems has been observed.

It should be noted that a significant number of reports of side effects are related, directly or indirectly, to Hypercoagulability (infarction), Myocardial infarction, stroke, miscarriages, impaired blood flow to the limbs, pulmonary embolism.”

Nova Scotia food truck owner fined $11k for maskless employees

https://www.rebelnews.com/food_truck_owner_fined_11k_in_nova_scotia_for_maskless_employees

RCMP issued a fine for $11,622.50 to the owner of a food truck after receiving a complaint that employees were not wearing masks.

Police in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia responded to a call yesterday afternoon, and the owner of the business advised that they refused to wear a mask because the public health restrictions are not “law.”

The business was charged for operating in contravention of mask requirements under the province's Health Protection Act.

Yarmouth is a small town on the southwest of the maritime province. Since the start of the pandemic, Nova Scotia has recorded 74 deaths from COVID-19.

Canadian doctor: COVID response is slowly ‘dismantling’ ethics established after World War 2

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadian-doctor-covid-response-is-slowly-dismantling-ethics-established-after-world-war-2

‘I was taught in medical school that the bedrock of the Nuremberg Code is a free and fully formed consent [for all patients]. To only promote the public health measures is a denial of the rights of those patients.’

May 21, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – A Canadian doctor and author of a declaration opposing attempts by the Canadian medical establishment to prohibit doctors from questioning the mainstream COVID-19 narrative says the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is “dismantling the ethics put in place after the Second World War with the Nuremberg Code.”

“I was taught in medical school that the bedrock of the Nuremberg Code is a free and fully formed consent [for all patients]. To only promote the public health measures is a denial of the rights of those patients,” Dr. Patrick Phillips, who works as an emergency room physician in Englehart, Ontario, told LifeSiteNews.

Phillips, along with other Canadian physicians, helped author and then publish the declaration “For science and truth,” which came in response to a recent statement from the CPSO saying that doctors must not speak their mind if that would contradict the “official” government response to COVID-19.

The CPSO statement is directed against doctors who take to social media to speak their minds freely in opposition to COVID-19 lockdowns, and states that doctors who go against public health measures and vaccines, or promote “unproven treatments for COVID-19,” will be investigated.

The group of physicians countered that at its core, the primary obligation of a doctor is not to the “CPSO or any other authority,” but to patients.

Phillips noted that the “science and truth” declaration is all about informed consent and patient rights. “It’s a group of physicians from across the county, we are all signatories of the document itself, there is no particular author, but when we saw that statement from the college, we were shocked about how restrictive and anti-science it was.”

Caught Red-Handed: CDC Changes Test Thresholds To Virtually Eliminate New COVID Cases Among Vaxx'd

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/caught-red-handed-cdc-changes-test-thresholds-virtually-eliminate-new-covid-cases-among

New policies will artificially deflate “breakthrough infections” in the vaccinated, while the old rules continue to inflate case numbers in the unvaccinated.

The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) is altering its practices of data logging and testing for “Covid19” in order to make it seem the experimental gene-therapy “vaccines” are effective at preventing the alleged disease.

They made no secret of this, announcing the policy changes on their website in late April/early May, (though naturally without admitting the fairly obvious motivation behind the change).

The trick is in their reporting of what they call “breakthrough infections” – that is people who are fully “vaccinated” against Sars-Cov-2 infection, but get infected anyway.

Essentially, Covid19 has long been shown – to those willing to pay attention – to be an entirely created pandemic narrative built on two key factors:

False-positive tests. The unreliable PCR test can be manipulated into reporting a high number of false-positives by altering the cycle threshold (CT value)

Inflated Case-count. The incredibly broad definition of “Covid case”, used all over the world, lists anyone who receives a positive test as a “Covid19 case”, even if they never experienced any symptoms.

Without these two policies, there would never have been an appreciable pandemic at all, and now the CDC has enacted two policy changes which means they no longer apply to vaccinated people.

Firstly, they are lowering their CT value when testing samples from suspected “breakthrough infections”.

From the CDC’s instructions for state health authorities on handling “possible breakthrough infections” (uploaded to their website in late April):

For cases with a known RT-PCR cycle threshold (Ct) value, submit only specimens with Ct value ≤28 to CDC for sequencing. (Sequencing is not feasible with higher Ct values.)

Throughout the pandemic, CT values in excess of 35 have been the norm, with labs around the world going into the 40s.

Essentially labs were running as many cycles as necessary to achieve a positive result, despite experts warning that this was pointless (even Fauci himself said anything over 35 cycles is meaningless).

But NOW, and only for fully vaccinated people, the CDC will only accept samples achieved from 28 cycles or fewer. That can only be a deliberate decision in order to decrease the number of “breakthrough infections” being officially recorded.

Secondly, asymptomatic or mild infections will no longer be recorded as “covid cases”.

That’s right. Even if a sample collected at the low CT value of 28 can be sequenced into the virus alleged to cause Covid19, the CDC will no longer be keeping records of breakthrough infections that don’t result in hospitalisation or death.

From their website:

As of May 1, 2021, CDC transitioned from monitoring all reported vaccine breakthrough cases to focus on identifying and investigating only hospitalized or fatal cases due to any cause. This shift will help maximize the quality of the data collected on cases of greatest clinical and public health importance. Previous case counts, which were last updated on April 26, 2021, are available for reference only and will not be updated moving forward.

Just like that, being asymptomatic – or having only minor symptoms – will no longer count as a “Covid case” but only if you’ve been vaccinated.

The CDC has put new policies in place which effectively created a tiered system of diagnosis. Meaning, from now on, unvaccinated people will find it much easier to be diagnosed with Covid19 than vaccinated people.

"Mask Up To Keep It Up" - Study Finds Links COVID To Erectile Dysfunction

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/mask-keep-it-study-finds-links-covid-erectile-dysfunction

A new study published in The World Journal of Men's Health says aftereffects of contracting COVID-19 could cause erectile dysfunction in men.

"Our research shows that COVID-19 can cause widespread endothelial dysfunction in organ systems beyond the lungs and kidneys. The underlying endothelial dysfunction that happens because of COVID-19 can enter the endothelial cells and affect many organs, including the penis," said Ranjith Ramasamy, M.D., associate professor and director of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine's Reproductive Urology Program.

"In our pilot study, we found that men who previously did not complain of erectile dysfunction developed pretty severe erectile dysfunction after the onset of COVID-19 infection," Ramasamy continued.

Ramasamy and researchers from UMiami discovered long after recovery, the virus may stay in mens' penises for months on end. And if that wasn't scary, researchers further hypothesize that the "widespread blood vessel dysfunction" caused by COVID could contribute to erectile dysfunction.

"The blood vessels themselves malfunction and are not able to provide enough blood to enter the penis for an erection," Ramasamy said. "We found that the virus affects the blood vessels that supply the penis, causing erectile dysfunction."

The virus has been associated with damaging other organs, such as the lungs, kidneys, and brain. But now, after collecting penile tissue samples from two men with a history of COVID infections, UMiami researchers believe erectile dysfunction "could be permanent."

This isn't the first study that has claimed COVID can cause erectile dysfunction.

In March, researchers from the University of Rome published a study in the medical journal Andrology titled ""Mask up to keep it up": Preliminary evidence of the association between erectile dysfunction and COVID‐19," which said those who contracted the virus were 5.6x more likely to have erectile dysfunction.

Ramasamy said more data is needed to understand better how widespread erectile dysfunction is post-COVID infection.

Both studies come as one of the biggest deflationary threats looms over the global economy: US birth rates have fallen to their lowest level in a generation.

WATCH: Dr. Christiane Northrup explains risks of covid vaccine spike protein “shedding”

https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-05-21-christiane-northrup-explains-risks-covid-vaccine-shedding.html

(Natural News) Now that stores are beginning to open as “normal” due to more people getting “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19), many who have decided not to take the injection are wondering if being around others in public who have might cause dangerous “spike” proteins and other chemicals to be “shed” onto them.

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, got a chance to talk to Dr. Christiane Northrup about the issue of vaccine “shedding” during a recent Brighteon Conversations chat – watch below – and what she had to say is nothing short of disturbing.

One of the “Five Docs,” as she calls them, who is investigating the situation, Dr. Northrup says that thousands upon thousands of unvaccinated women, for example, are now experiencing dramatic changes to their periods from being around others who were jabbed with Wuhan Flu shots.

“Something is clearly being transmitted,” she explained, revealing horrific stories about babies as young as just a few months old experiencing blood clots coming out of their vaginas after having been in contact with recently “inoculated” people.

“If you look at the Pfizer document from the very beginning, on page 67 it actually says that ‘no male should be impregnating a woman for seven weeks, and no female should get pregnant for seven weeks,’ and they say right on there because of ‘skin contact’ or ‘sexual contact.'”

“So you have to ask yourself, what did they know, or do they know, that they’re not telling us?”

When did Western medicine become a mass experiment with constant chemical injections?

As an OBGYN herself, Dr. Northrup is horrified that suddenly it has become normal for doctors and nurses to be injecting their patients and themselves with experimental “medicines” like this, as well as with flu shots and other government-imposed injections.

Especially now that it is becoming undeniably apparent that Chinese Virus injections are extremely dangerous for unborn children, why on earth has it become the norm for pregnant women and their husbands to be taking the high-risk shots with pride?

“What is it that we are doing in the first place?” she asked during the segment, also noting that it is insanity to inject newborn babies with dozens of childhood “inoculations” that contain bio-persistent chemicals like aluminum that lodge within the brain and never leave.

If that was not bad enough, now the medical fascists are injecting synthetic mRNA technology that has never been proven safe or effective into both children and their parents, who are then exposing others to these chemicals when they come into close contact.

To be clear. Dr. Northrup has been warning about the dangers of vaccines for many years, she appeared on Oprah back in 2006 to warn about the Gardasil vaccine, for instance, telling viewers that it was not a good idea for them to get their daughters, and in some cases sons, injected with the shot because of its severe risks.

“That was long before all these girls died or were maimed from it, or got POTS syndrome. So I didn’t change anything,” she notes about her philosophical approach to the question of vaccine safety and efficacy.

“What changed is they ramped up the propaganda and then decided if you couldn’t beat them, if they were being effective at reaching people, then what you needed to do was eliminate them or have a smear campaign against them.”

Be sure to check out this other Brighteon Conversations episode in which Adams and Dr. Jeffrey Prather talk about how pine needle tea may help to mitigate the risks of vaccine shedding.

Emails between WHO, NIH, and Fauci reveal Chinese influence on COVID response

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/emails-between-who-nih-and-fauci-reveal-chinese-influence-on-covid-response

The 301 pages of emails were released following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit by Judicial Watch on behalf of the Daily Caller News Foundation.

May 21, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Emails released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, pertaining to Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. H. Clifford Lane, document a China-centric approach to COVID-19 on the part of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The emails lend further credence to claims that these organizations are subservient to China.

The 301 pages of emails were released following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit by Judicial Watch on behalf of the Daily Caller News Foundation. The information sought included records of correspondence from the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Anthony Fauci and Deputy Director H. Clifford Lane, either between each other, the WHO, or key members and leaders of the WHO, regarding the “novel coronavirus.” The timeline under observation was January 1, 2020, through April 1, 2020.

The emails themselves are heavily redacted. Nonetheless, the information that Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation was able to examine revealed disturbing trends of the WHO and the NIH in regard to China and COVID-19.

An email sent by an official for the WHO on January 20, 2020, mentions a completed epidemiological analysis of the “situation,” describing it as “strictly confidential,” and only for the eyes of the WHO’s Strategic and Technical Advisory Group for Infection Hazards (STAG-IH).
