I recall in the interim between report and vaccination was the 11 months during which I was encouraged to bang pots and pans each day at 7 pm to honor the truckers and health care workers for their tireless and selflessness in working to care for me and assure my health and supply chain were cared for. During this period, I was on council for the District of Lillooet. As mayor I became privy to direct regular updates from IHA through Zoom with all the mayors and regional district chairs within their coverage. First weekly and then biweekly. It was primarily an update of statistical data of the number of vaccines that were given in our area and region. It also was used to encourage the mayors and regional chairs to support and promote the acceptance and use of the vaccine to the peoples in our areas.

As a non-medical person I found it a bit strange that I would become involved, even indirectly, in the promotion of the vaccine. Being the old-fashioned person that I am, I always assumed that individual medical acceptance or requirements are best handled between the patient and his/her doctor, I was not so comfortable with this. I held my tongue in the zoom meetings as I had concern that my District I represent may become highlighted and could jeopardize such funding as is required/requested so often in the “begging bowl” fashion from the province.

Given that both Provincial and Federal Public health were promoting and receiving counsel from the American NIH et al and quoting and supporting the edicts of Dr. Fauci, I became concerned. I have had previous exposure to his ideas and handling of previous health concerns. The HIV. I was working and living in Zimbabwe in the 1990s when the HIV AIDS became global. Fauci spent a great deal of time and money in searching for the vaccine for AIDS and many “stories” as to how it was spread were concocted through that period. Many people died and in one of our operations of only 450 people we were building 3 coffins a week for over a year for either an employee or their family. So, if I look at that experience and ask myself – was the vaccine successful? –the answer is no. Even to this day there is no vaccine, despite there being therapeutics that both control and even fully treat AIDS if caught early enough.

This caused me to send a polite and professional email to the IHA to be wary and exercise caution when following Fauci and Birks mantras. I stated that I was concerned for our Public Health and Health Authority image and reputation. I did not receive a reply. Meantime on the weekly zooms, BC Public Health instituted mandates for the vaccine. I was floored. The focus on the zooms became a push for greater vaccine numbers. I could see a few of us were not so enthralled by the mandates and there were other mayors and regional chairs that became “bobble heads” and shared with all their pride in passing a resolution enforcing mandate for the vaccination on their staff.  Fortunately, I had an understanding council and senior staff that would not take that route. Along this time frame, the Dr. Hoffe situation developed and then the enforced mandates for the medical staff and truckers to keep their jobs. This together with the extraordinary measures taken in the name of public health I was gob smacked. Masks, distancing and even how many I could have at my Christmas dinner table.

So, from heralding their bravery at 7 pm each night we switched to firing their derrieres out the door unless they accepted the vaccine mandate. When the trucking convoys left for Ottawa and began a movement of freedom of choice and anti-mandate, I was proud of my fellow countrymen.  Fortunately, with today’s independent media such as YouTube, Rumble and live streaming I was able to see and listen for myself what was really happening on the ground in Ottawa which I found to be substantially different from the daily reports of legacy media. The treatment of these truckers, their families and their supporters have and continues to be nothing short of abysmal and bordering on criminal, in my opinion.

How many nurses and physicians did we lose to these mandates? One can only guess as numbers are not forthcoming. My direct discussions with some other zoom participants opened my eyes – wide – to some of the nursing fallout from the mandate. Certainly nothing was reported in the media. During this time, I had been “deep diving” the various provincial and federal health websites and noticed no therapeutics suggested or offered. Just the enforcement of the experimental vaccine. Of course, the issue was that an experimental vaccine can only be used if there is no therapeutic available. Shades of Zimbabwe and AIDS for me.

So where am I today?

Despite red flags and mounting evidence to the contrary, Health Canada continues to rely on Pfizer’s empty assurances that their novel COVID-19 injection is “safe and effective” rather than on solid clinical data. Globally, the narrative is collapsing but not in Canada, my home country and not in BC, my home province. We continue to purport “misinformation” and “disinformation”, the favorite words of censors. An emergency situation can spawn official missteps. But they become insidious when dissent is suppressed, and truth is molded to fit a narrative. My province has decided to embrace a resolution that they did a good job with the COVID 19 pandemic and at the same time wrote into this resolution condemning the truckers convoy against the mandate.  Only one dissenting vote. The lone Conservative.  

If government did such a great job with COVID – the results would speak for themselves. No need for a resolution. What is more important, is a complete and comprehensive audit/autopsy of the actions of public health and the subsequent fallout that resulted. If there were good things to highlight—by all means. Any absence of such a process is only a condemnation of the actions taken upon me and all other mayors across this nation.    

Who do I trust? Me – only me. Certainly not the legacy media, not the public health of Canada and BC. (I will not trust a single word from those two institutions ever again. ) Not Fauci – I never did. From direct experience. Who do I believe? Me – only me. As I sift through all the smoke and mirrors and the “misinformation and “disinformation” by the media and institutions.
