Subject: A Warning to Municipalities: False Independence, Special Advisors, and Local Democracy

Dear Mayor and Council,

I am writing again as part of an ongoing province-wide municipal conversation about accountability, democratic oversight, public safety, and the growing risk that senior governments may be using “independent reviews”, special advisors, emergency systems, police-aligned consultants, media narratives, housing mandates, and cost-downloading to centralize power away from local communities.

Over the past year, I have written to municipalities about E-Comm, RCMP contract policing, Crown disclosure burdens, civil forfeiture, environmental contamination, mental-health crisis response, school policing, housing interventions, and the need for municipal unity.

The recent developments involving School District 61 (SD61) now show why these themes belong together. The developments involving the Greater Victoria School Board are not simply a school board story. They are a warning to every local government in British Columbia.

SD61: A WARNING ABOUT FALSE INDEPENDENCE

The SD61 trustees were removed after standing by their decision to end the School Liaison Officer program and pursue student safety through civilian-led, evidence-based alternatives. That decision followed extensive consultation and aligned with serious concerns raised by the BC Human Rights Commissioner about the impacts of police in schools. Yet the public narrative repeatedly framed the board as unreasonable, ideological, or unwilling to collaborate. Now, after court proceedings and the release of text messages and emails, that narrative has been badly damaged. The Province has agreed to quash the order removing the trustees and reinstate the elected board.

The documents that came to light reportedly included communications between senior Ministry of Education staff, a special advisor appointed to SD61, and senior police officials. Some of those communications included derogatory comments about trustees, protesters, and the BC Human Rights Commissioner. A senior police official reportedly described a senior Ministry official as a “key player” after the board was removed. This should concern every mayor and councillor in British Columbia. 

The issue is no longer whether SD61 was simply difficult or ideological. The issue is whether a democratically elected local body was pressured, smeared, and removed through a process that lacked genuine independence. The same people and systems publicly claiming to act for student safety now appear connected to communications that raise serious questions about impartiality, professionalism, and democratic good faith.

The phrase “independent review” can no longer be accepted at face value. Independence must be proven. If a special advisor has authored prior materials supporting the system under dispute, that must be disclosed. If a consultant has financial or professional ties to the policy being promoted, that must be disclosed. If senior government claims a local body is failing to collaborate, the public should be shown exactly what that means, with evidence. Otherwise, “collaboration” becomes coercion by another name.

THE ADVISOR MODEL IS NOW A MUNICIPAL GOVERNANCE RISK

The SD61 case should cause every municipality to re-examine the growing use of special advisors, housing advisors, official trustees, independent reviewers, and provincially ordered reviews.

Housing supply is real. Public safety is real. School safety is real. Emergency communications are real. But real issues can still be used as entry points for centralized control if the process lacks transparency, conflict disclosure, and local democratic safeguards. A special advisor can be helpful. A review can be necessary. A housing target can be legitimate. But each can also become a governance-risk event if it is used to frame a local government as deficient, isolate elected officials, justify structural change, or prepare the public to accept further provincial intervention.

Once an advisor is inserted, the local government may no longer be operating in a normal political environment. Internal disagreements can become evidence of dysfunction. Media coverage can become reputational pressure. Staff-council tensions can become public narratives, and in some cases may be amplified, exploited or even manufactured. Structural changes can be presented as routine modernization. Then an election arrives after the terrain has already shifted. Municipalities should therefore treat every provincially ordered advisor process as a democratic-risk event requiring careful documentation, clear boundaries, and peer support from other local governments.

UNITY, RESTRUCTURING, AND ELECTION-CYCLE RISK

The SD61 board’s real offence appears to have been that it did not collapse under pressure. The trustees stood together, raised funds, went to court, and defended democratic process rather than accept a public narrative that cast them as reckless for doing their job. In doing so, they gave students and the community a powerful lesson: evidence matters, rights matter, and democracy is worth defending even when powerful institutions try to make that difficult. That unity mattered.

It is also why the change to SD61’s electoral model must be examined carefully. A trustee electoral area model, or ward-style model, can be legitimate in principle. Local representation matters. But timing and context also matter. In this case, the move toward a new trustee electoral area model followed the removal of the elected board and took place while an Official Trustee was in place. 

Municipalities should therefore ask whether this change was made only to improve representation, or whether it also reduces the likelihood of another unified board standing together against provincial, police, or consultant pressure. Municipalities should not reject trustee electoral areas or ward systems out of hand. But they should insist that such changes never be used as punishment, retaliation, or a quiet method of fragmenting democratic unity after elected officials refuse to comply with a centralized narrative.

The upcoming municipal election cycle gives this issue added urgency. Even lawful changes can have political consequences. Even ordinary bylaws can alter power. Even legitimate housing concerns can become leverage if used to justify broader intervention without sufficient transparency.

Municipalities currently dealing with special advisors, housing advisors, official trustees, independent reviewers, or similar interventions should support one another now. This is especially important where local “drama” begins to emerge around a council, mayor, staff relationship, procedural dispute, public-participation conflict, or governance restructuring.

When media commentary focuses heavily on personalities, tone, blunt comments, walkouts, procedural conflict, or interpersonal drama, councils should pause and ask whether the public is being shown the full structural picture.

  • What power is being shifted?
  • Who benefits from the shift?
  • What checks and balances are being reduced?
  • Why now? What role does provincial pressure play in the broader governance climate?
  • What is being reported, and what is being left out?

A local government facing a provincial adviser should not be left alone to determine what is normal, excessive, or politically dangerous. Municipalities should compare notes, preserve records, share experiences, and develop professional strategies for protecting local democratic accountability.

WHEN MEDIA NARRATIVES BECOME GOVERNANCE TOOLS

The SD61 case shows that media narratives can become governance tools. A public body can be framed as ideological, dysfunctional, unreasonable, or unsafe. Guests can repeat vague claims without being asked for evidence. Local leaders can be turned into symbols of disorder. Public confidence can be weakened before formal decisions are made. By the time an intervention occurs, much of the public may already be conditioned to accept it.

This is not about shielding elected officials from criticism. It is about ensuring criticism does not become a substitute for evidence, and that personality-based narratives do not distract the public from governance changes with long-term consequences. Local leaders should not wait for perfect information before defending fair process. When a public figure is being smeared, especially where police-linked institutions, media amplification, or senior-government pressure may be involved, mayors and councils can still say: show the evidence, disclose the communications, declare the conflicts, and stop using reputation as a substitute for proof.

When media coverage appears one-sided, residents and local leaders can ask for corrections, request balanced coverage, engage media standards bodies where appropriate, and support independent reporting that asks harder questions. When public officials are attacked without evidence, communities can demand specific examples rather than accepting vague claims that someone was “difficult,” “uncooperative,” or “problematic.” That is how a community stops a smear campaign from becoming policy.

THE SAME PATTERN ACROSS DIFFERENT ISSUES

This connects directly to the issues I have raised in previous letters. When ten South Island municipalities stood together against unfair E-Comm downloading, they demonstrated that unity can force accountability into the open. When municipalities question centralized emergency communications, they are asking who controls public safety, who pays for it, and who answers when the system fails.

When communities face RCMP contract-policing structures where local democratic oversight is limited, they are asking whether local residents can meaningfully govern the services they fund. When Crown disclosure burdens created by senior institutions are downloaded onto municipalities through new staffing pressures, municipalities are entitled to ask why local taxpayers should pay to solve administrative bottlenecks they did not create. When environmental contamination concerns are hidden behind federal or provincial control, municipalities are entitled to ask whether public health is being protected or managed through silence.

And when tragedies occur — whether in Saanich, Lapu-Lapu, Tumbler Ridge, or elsewhere— municipalities are entitled to demand evidence before blame, transparency before narrative, and structure before scapegoating. The common thread is accountability.

PROTECTING THE VULNERABLE BEFORE HARM OCCURS

Accountability must also include how communities respond when vulnerable people are smeared, disbelieved, isolated, or left without protection. In my earlier letter regarding potential collusion concerns in Kamloops, I described a situation involving a vulnerable woman connected to a home where police and bylaw, according to the RCMP, had more than 100 calls for service over several years. I warned that she had reached out for help, that she was being exploited during a serious medical and family crisis, that stolen goods and disorder were accumulating, and that a serious incident could occur if police continued to turn a blind eye.

That concern was not abstract. One incident that had been described in the attached RCMP correspondence involved stolen property reportedly being tracked by GPS to the home. Police attended, spoke with apparent residents, left without immediately recovering the stolen item, and later returned after stolen goods had been placed in a bag at the end of the driveway. In the context of more than 100 calls for service, this raises a serious question: if that situation did not trigger a warrant application, surveillance, escalation, or stronger coordinated intervention, were police in Kamloops trying to turn a blind eye? What threshold were they waiting for?

Later, someone died at that home. The state’s response then appeared to shift toward civil forfeiture, investigating victims, and painting the vulnerable homeowner as the problem rather than asking why meaningful protective intervention had not occurred sooner. The vulnerable woman was further charged in relation to stolen goods, despite the broader context suggesting she may have been exploited by others. I was also investigated by local municipal police in relation to the incident and later charged with harassing communications after trying to explain my side of events during calls that police had invited, then repeatedly disconnected without meaningful reason or explanation.

That situation is not identical to SD61 or to any local governance dispute. But it is connected by a shared moral failure: powerful systems can appear to tolerate harm while it grows, then act quickly to protect themselves once the consequences become visible. The same pattern can appear in public life. When a woman in elected office is subjected to a sustained reputational attack, local leaders should not wait until a court vindicates her before asking whether the public narrative is fair.

Nicole Duncan and the SD61 trustees were not proven reckless by the public narrative against them. They were vindicated after standing together through it. The board did what educators are supposed to do: they resisted tribalism, protected students, acted on evidence, defended democratic process, and refused to let social sorting decide whose safety mattered.

Smear campaigns are not only reputational attacks. They are governance tools. They teach the public who is allowed to lead and who is to be treated as disposable. They discourage others from running for office. They make vulnerable people quieter. They make honest leaders more isolated.

Former Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell also raised concerns years ago about the way police and media narratives were used against him while he was in office. Whether one agrees with every claim made in that case or not, municipalities should now be able to see the pattern more clearly: local leaders who challenge institutional power can be stigmatized, mocked, isolated, and reframed as the problem.

The SD61 revelations should change how every council responds to that tactic.

A CALL FOR MUNICIPAL SAFEGUARDS

I am not asking municipalities to reach criminal conclusions today. I am asking you not to wait until a court has to force the truth into the open before recognizing the pattern. Every municipality should now review its relationship with provincial special advisors, external consultants, police-linked safety experts, housing advisors, and so-called independent reviews. This is especially urgent for local governments already dealing with provincial intervention, policing disputes, emergency-service downloading, housing mandates, environmental concerns, school-board disputes, or governance reviews.

At minimum, municipalities should consider adopting the following safeguards:

Require full conflict-of-interest disclosures from all provincial special advisors, housing advisors, consultants, safety experts, review-panel members, and organizations presented as independent experts. Require written mandates for any special advisor or provincial appointee, including clear limits on authority, reporting obligations, communication rules, and public transparency requirements.

Request preservation and disclosure of communications between all senior officials, agencies, consultants, special advisors, housing advisors, and external stakeholders involved whenever local democratic authority is being challenged. Refuse to treat police-linked, consultant-linked, or politically connected organizations as neutral simply because they are described as “experts.”

Use UBCM and regional tables to share experiences with special advisors, independent reviews, cost-downloads, provincial pressure tactics, housing mandates, and media narratives used against elected officials. Establish a shared municipal protocol for special advisors and provincially ordered reviews, including intake procedures, communication logs, conflict disclosures, council briefings, public updates, and peer support from other municipalities that have already experienced similar interventions.

Demand a fully independent public inquiry or review into the SD61 process, including Ministry communications, police communications, advisor independence, consultant conflicts, the role of Safer Schools Together, and the decision-making that led to the removal of an elected board. Develop community standards for responding to reputational attacks against elected officials, especially women, senior citizens and other leaders who may be targeted through stigma, mockery, or vague allegations instead of evidence.

Identify leadership skills in the community and encourage credible local leaders, educators, advocates, workers, parents, and residents to run for municipal and school board office so that communities are not left dependent on insider networks or recycled institutional narratives. Support mentorship between experienced and new candidates so that fresh faces can enter public life without being isolated, smeared, or captured by existing power networks.

CONCLUSION: THE REAL PRICE IS BECOMING VISIBLE

The upcoming municipal election cycle is an opportunity to strengthen local democracy before more damage is done. Fresh candidates should be encouraged. Experienced leaders should mentor them. Councils should speak with one another openly. Communities should ask who is defending local authority and who is quietly accepting centralized control.

The SD61 trustees have shown what democratic resilience looks like. They stood together under extraordinary pressure, and they were vindicated. Municipalities should honour that example by making sure no local government, school board, or elected official is ever again isolated and over-powered through hidden coordination, reputational attacks, or the misuse of supposedly independent processes.

This is not about left or right. It is not about one school board, one municipality, one ministry, or one mayor. It is about whether democratic institutions in British Columbia still belong to the people who elect them. It is also about whether communities are willing to protect the vulnerable before harm occurs, not only express regret afterward. That includes vulnerable homeowners, victims of exploitation, families in crisis, students affected by school policing, women in public life, and elected leaders who are smeared for refusing to comply with institutional pressure.

Bad actors rely on tribalism. They rely on communities dividing quickly, judging quickly, and abandoning people before evidence is known. The SD61 trustees and their supporters taught the opposite lesson. They showed that unity, evidence, and courage can defeat a false narrative. That is a lesson worth carrying into every council chamber in this province.

British Columbians already pay some of the highest costs for housing, energy, insurance, policing, emergency services, and basic survival. But the deeper price is now becoming visible: loss of democratic control, weakened trust, endangered children, vulnerable people left unprotected, and public institutions that appear more focused on protecting themselves than protecting people. That price is too high.

Municipalities remain the closest democratic institutions to the people. That gives you both a burden and an opportunity. By standing together, demanding transparency, defending fair process, protecting vulnerable people, sharing information about special advisors, and refusing to accept false independence at face value, you can help restore public trust before more harm is done.

Thank you for your service to your communities, and for your continued attention to these issues.

Respectfully,

Philip Perras

* Next Generation 911 is Coming Soon

Posted on by
Reply

It’s the end of analog. The Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) has mandated that the official decommission date of existing 911 services is 2027, to be replaced with digital Internet Protocol (IP). Next Generation 911 is a many-headed hydra. 

Read this on Druthers, a shorter version,

The public story involves increased speed, more data sources like ‘real-time transfer’ of texting and video, faster response times and better outcomes. “Accurate caller location data can make a life-saving difference during emergencies. If a caller cannot speak or does not know their exact location, emergency responders still need a reliable way to find them. Advanced location technologies allow dispatchers to quickly determine where help is needed.”

The untold story is about NG 911 syncing up with the omnipresent juggernaut coming at us—global militarization, digital ID, facial recognition technology, the Internet of Things, ‘free’ speech being monitored for proactive policing, China-style social credit scoring, centralization and commodification of health records, etc. NG 911 is where tyranny meets granny lying on the floor in dire need of medical attention. 

Here are the Coles notes. 

Military and defense departments—what the CRTC calls the “Coalition of the Willing”—are heavily represented in NG 911. Carbyne, for instance, is an Israeli/American defense contractor busy buying up American emergency call centers. Carbyne “develops advanced emergency communications solutions, focuses on providing real-time video, location and data transmission to enhance emergency response systems worldwide.” 

Public Safety Canada (PSC) and the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are in collaborative partnership. They’ve “worked with stakeholders to identify priorities for joint work to improve responder communications interoperability”—in other words, the seamless flow of data between and among numerous entities. Stakeholders refers to special interest groups—the  mobile carriers like Bell, Rogers, Telus, and many others. Less obvious stakeholders, the ones we seldom hear about, are fintech entrepreneurs creating new revenue streams, new data-related services, selling data packages to third parties, and making information subscription-based. 

The data gulag/data gold rush is in full swing. One headline reads, “Next Generation 911 Opportunity to Exceed $1.5 Billion in Revenues by 2030 as Public Safety Transforms into a Data-Driven, AI-Enabled Ecosystem.” A fintech blog reports, “NG 911 utilizes more types of data, including from smart devices and data-rich information from a variety of sources such as vehicle sensors, wearable medical devices, smart home alarms, building sensors and monitoring systems.”

The CRTC’s NG 911 Commission declares Canada is open for business: “NG 9-1-1 networks should be accessible to all types of entities, to the maximum extent possible..” IBM predicts rapid, outstanding growth: “In 2023, the global data monetization market was valued at USD 3.5 billion, and experts project it to reach USD 14.4 billion by 2032, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate of 16.6% from 2024 to 2032. (4) No wonder the “experts” keep predicting disasters; doom merchants are in dire need of dire emergencies—real, imagined, accidental, or contrived.

The CRTC reports that Canada is partnered with the Windermere Group, invisible stakeholders who use a global wealth management company located in Nassau, Bahamas, that tax haven for those who are not fond of taxes, regulations or publicity. Online information about the group is scant, member identities are absent. The group takes its name from Windermere Island, which was once owned by an English Lord and now belongs to the elite’s elite who covet its pink sand beaches, not to mention the privacy and gated security—only property owners and invited guests allowed.

‘Stakeholders’ also refers to public/private partnerships (PPPs). CRTC describes it thus: “high-value data services can be co-developed and financed through shared risk and return models..” In plain speak, the ‘private’ refers to corporations. The government bestows tax rebates, subsidies and privileges upon a corporation (their buddies); the corporation is given the land to build massive water-guzzling, energy-sucking AI data centres. Concomitantly,  the corporation ‘donates’ to something like daycares or public parks and the McMedia they own advertises their ‘philanthropy’. Corporate law shields corporations from fiscal audits, so taxpayer money disappears and cost overruns are the norm. The ‘public’ part of the ‘partnership’ is negligible. 

Adroit messaging sells the macro. “Today, large-scale emergencies—from pandemics to natural disasters—demand faster, highly coordinated, and more precise responses. With traditional 911 systems, however, public safety infrastructures are often outdated, overwhelmed, and lack the ability to handle modern disaster scenarios with the efficiency needed.” (2) “As public safety becomes more data-intensive, NG 911 will be central to improving emergency response speed, accuracy, and situational awareness, with growth favoring providers that simplify deployments, ensure secure interoperability, and convert expanding data sources into actionable intelligence.” (3)

The public sales pitch takes many forms. Despite most people knowing almost nothing about NG 911, corporate marketing is inventing justifications, claiming it’s “what the people demand.” Natural Resources Canada (NRC) recommends “demonstration projects in provinces or regions without existing SDI [Serial Digital Interface] infrastructure to show benefits and gain traction.” Sound familiar? Remember COVID messaging about “gaining traction” for mRNA? NRC advises corporations to “bundle SDI funding into initiatives with strong public resonance, such as climate monitoring, emergency services, and wildfire detection.” The ever-obedient propagandists at CBC Radio One got the memo; in a recent broadcast, their “expert” predicted a “devastating fire season ahead” and the reporter chimed in, “The government is currently updating emergency services”. 

Enter the World Health Organization (WHO). A revolutionized emergencies response system like NG 911 perfectly dovetails with the Pandemic Treaty agenda, which Canada signed onto during Justin Trudeau’s tenure. WHO expert James Rogulski reports that the treaty’s clandestine motivation is to “secure profits from pathogens with pandemic potential”. This ominous phrase means normalization of biolabs, gain-of-function research and biowarfare. When the WHO decrees “an emergency of international concern,” (and you know they’re going to) signatory nations are legally bound to relinquish some rights and sovereignty. Canada’s “health management” has had to upgrade “pandemic readiness”. New information networks hook deeply into local communities and funnel data up the chain of command to WHO authorities. They’re called Core Capacities: prevention, surveillance, reporting, notification, verification, preparedness, response, and collaboration. (5) (Annex 1, 1a)

Integral to NG 911 are GPS and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS captures, stores, processes, and visualizes geographic information. A booster blog writes, “GIS is expected to become even more essential in the NG 9-1-1 system as technology advances.” (6) A GIS map contains detailed topography, above-ground and sub-ground infrastructures, and millions of lights like fireflies on a dark night, each light representing every single cell phone signal. It amounts to instantaneous location awareness and assessment. Currently unavailable and eagerly anticipated, indoor location tracking—soon they’ll be able to look through walls.

All this new technology has enabled predictive policing (predpol) which is the crystal balling of potential crime. Predpol “uses AI and algorithms to analyze historical data, forecasting when and where crimes may occur, or identifying individuals likely to be involved in criminal activity.” (7) Note the highly subjective and speculative wording: may, likely. Police agencies claim predpol “helps identify areas at high risk of emergencies and enable proactive measures to be taken.” But predpol has been proven to be highly inaccurate and  American critics like Rachel Levinson-Waldman, senior counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice, report that “…community organizations are not actively pushing for predictive policing as a preferred way to serve their neighborhood or community.” 

Despite the drawbacks, it’s being used in Canada. The justification of “protective measures” can easily morph into the arbitrary incarceration of those people a brutal regime wants to silence and disappear, as investigative journalist Whitney Webb recently noted. “Algorithms target and scan social media for ‘early warning signs of violence’. Pre-crime creeps closer and closer to our private lives,” she said, “People could be incarcerated in times of political upheaval. Extreme surveillance is at hand. They will be able to throw people in jail.”

CRTC NG 911 documents identify “privacy issues” only once; it was the last item on a short list and received no attention. There are currently no laws on the books protecting the public from all the risks we’ll be subjected to in this age of big data; we don’t have any digital rights. 

Natural Resources Canada identified a few problems—affecting  fintech entrepreneurs. “Open data policies exist but are inconsistent and unenforced across jurisdictions.” In other words, investors beware, and open data policies are preferable because then all data is exploitable. “Weak legal mandates” is another problem—or a boon to some lawyers. “Inflexible licensing agreements” is another problem, meaning investors could be bound to rigid terms, unable to adapt to market changes or modify how intellectual property is used. “Few agreements address long-term data stewardship” across the many jurisdictions involved. A great deal of safety is being sacrificed to a wild wild west data gold rush.   

And this curious item: NRC identifies the problem of Indigenous data sovereignty being overlooked; “existing policy environment does not adequately account for OCAP® principles [Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession over data collection processes, established by First Nations in 1998] or respect Indigenous communities’ right to govern their data.” Many questions arise, including: Indigenous data sovereignty is a thing? Why don’t the rest of us have those rights? 

Cyber espionage will exploit all weaknesses. In a March press conference, Toronto Police Service informed the public they caught three Chinese operatives [police were only permitted to say “three males with names sounding like those from mainland China”] driving up and down the streets of Markham, Ontario, in vehicles that were carrying invasive technology—“military-grade hi-tech blaster with a bunch of circuits, a router, and antennas.” They had the ability to connect to nearby phones and send fraudulent text messages that were professionally engineered, legitimate-looking, and designed to capture personal information, banking credentials and passwords. It’s called “smishing”. By the time police discovered the operation, they’d been at it for months and had gathered at least 13 million contacts. “When devices are diverted away from legitimate networks,” police said, “it interferes with a person’s ability to connect to emergency services.”  

Elsewhere in Canada, disturbing trends in emergency communications recently prompted ten small-town mayors in Southern BC to join hands and protest the lack of transparency in E-Comms and the off-loading of costs/levvies onto their limited tax bases. Pender Island mayor, Philip Perras, reported that an independent review of E-Comm 911 completed in September, 2025, “confirmed what municipalities have been saying for years: the system lacked clear governance, financial controls, and meaningful oversight. Accountability effectively stopped nowhere, with unclear authority, unpredictable levy increases and no contingency fund for emergencies — the very business they are in.”

Meanwhile, boots-on-the-ground emergency service providers in our communities are busy doing what they always do. Police are trying to keeping global drug cartels from turning their communities into killing fields. Fire Services are replacing old hydrants and updating water mains; they’re training and retaining volunteers. Ambulance personnel are attending fentanyl overdoses and rushing people to the hospital emergency wards that are open. Search and Rescue are promoting outdoor safety awareness and honing skillsets in dangerous terrain.

* I’m Scamming the CBC

You Did Not Harm Us

I used to be an ardent CBC fan, for decades. But no more. Now I want to live long enough to see the death of that dank purveyor of propaganda and brainwashing. Demolished. In the dustbin of history. I know in my heart that CBC can’t be reformed; it’s propped up by the government, last year it received $1.4 billion (!). But ever hopeful, and in the off chance that maybe, just maybe, a few of their story submission readers might have what James Corbett calls “two brain cells to rub together,” I decided to submit a non-fiction article into their annual writing contest. Winning comes with CBC-styled publicity, $6K prize money and a session at Banff Center for the Arts, all of which I could care less about.

Without a doubt my article doesn’t stand a chance in hell of being picked for the shortlist. My words slam the mainstream media in general, and CBC in particular, for their disgraceful subjectivity, their vicious attacks against unvaxxed Canadians and the Truckers Freedom Convoy during the COVID scamdemic, their blithe superficiality, their compromised ethical backbone, their avoidance of all corporate corruption, their obsequious worship of the dirty Liberal party, their tedious mediocrity, their endless WOKE proselytizing. (Did I miss anything?) 

When I submitted the article, I visualized me having super strong arms and pulling back my huge, symbolic quiver and releasing a giant symbolic flaming arrow that would arc up through the air and over the CBC’s ramparts into the dark heart of the compound. Maybe my words would land where they desperately need to go and start a raging fire that would spread quickly and destroy the entire nasty mess. 

Contest entry fee: $25. In therapy terms, a real bargain. My disgust was eating me up and I had to get it off my chest. Here it is:

You Did Not Harm Us

…but don’t ever ‘not harm us’ again!

It’s a safe bet that anyone against research during COVID was gripped by terror. Most of us were in the midst of avoiding our own ignorance—some were protecting vested interests and careers—and some were corrupt and wanting to keep a nefarious agenda concealed. You don’t have to look very far to figure out why so many were averse to the knowledge that research brings; corporate-owned media was—and still is—busy trying to grind everyone into their version of correct groupthink: 

“Doing Your Own Research

is a Good Way of Being Wrong”

Washington Post

January 2024

Investigative journalist and stand-up comic, Jimmy Dore, poked fun at this in one of his performances: 

“You know, before COVID, doing your own research used to be called reading. You would never shame people for trying to get informed, no matter what other subject it was, no matter how unimportant, like if I say, Hey I’m gonna go buy a car. Don’t look into it! Well how would I know which car to get? Ask the salesman!..”

This little gem of 1984 doublespeak could make Orwell spin in his grave:

Don’t Go Down the Rabbit Hole

Critical thinking, as we’re taught to do it,

isn’t helping in the fight against misinformation.

~ New York Times, February 2021

With the perspective of hindsight, COVID showed us that doing research has become a necessity, and in some cases would even be crucial for survival. Media literacy has never been a more important skillset. Has anyone asked why the corporate-owned media—local, national and international—were all so magically in sync? Why did they all push identical “news”, why did they all hammer the phrases “all scientists agree” and “safe and effective”? Why did they squash all necessary inquiry and investigation? As one protestor accurately put it, of course all scientists agree when you censor and cancel the ones who don’t. As for “safe and effective”, pharmaceutical companies weren’t telling—because they didn’t have to. 

Blackout clauses are built into their contracts. Before American courts forced them to do so, COVID vaccine makers didn’t have to provide any clinical trial data for 75 years! They are legally protected from liability. Back in the 1980s, before then President Reagan granted pharmaceutical companies immunity from legal prosecution, people were successfully suing for damages. Vaccine makers would have to yank their faulty products off the market when more than a handful of injuries or death occurred. How is it possible that car manufacturers can be sued for manufacturing defects but vaccine manufacturers cannot? Harming or killing consumers with spoiled food, a dangerous toy or even a scalding hot cup of coffee, have all been decided by the courts to be serious crimes, but harming or killing people with a vaccine isn’t? 

Today we see the direct result of that legal immunity. During the COVID years, people began collapsing and dying on camera. Professional athletes dropping on soccer fields, tennis pros dropping on the court, TV talk show hosts toppling from their desk, lecturers dropping from their lecterns, public speakers toppling like trees, performers staggering sideways and crumpling into a heap on stage, audiences gasping and unsure if what they’re seeing is part of the performance. The young and healthy were suddenly dying, all cause mortality numbers climbed, miscarriages increased, chronic disease increased, alarming stats poured in. (1)(2)

Scientists with courage and backbone who sounded the alarm on shoddy clinical trials were rapidly silenced and de-platformed; social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook, were actively involved in censorship. The few brave doctors who blew the whistle were ruined; nurses who declined getting the vaccine or refused to go along with COVID emergency protocols were ostracized, fired or laid off and denied Employment Insurance benefits. 

Funeral home embalmers began finding sinewy white clots in the blood of cadavers, some as thick and long as a pencil. This was completely new and shocking to the profession. And they, too, feared speaking out, though one eventually did at Canada’s National Citizens Inquiry. (3) Dissenting voices of all kinds, professional and layman, all were silenced and crushed. And you wouldn’t have known any of this unless you were researching or listening to others doing research. 

If your primary source of official “health” information during COVID was the TV news, you were thoroughly brainwashed. I know because I was one of them! Despite my instincts telling me to wait, warning me not to do it, despite not understanding RNA, despite being repelled by the words ‘new technology’ in the same sentence as ‘vaccine’, I decided to get the first dose of Moderna. I told myself, I’ll take one for the team, meaning I wanted to help protect my community.

I’ve had forty vaccines in my life: twenty during school years, nineteen for work and world travels, and then the fortieth shot was this “safe and effective” mRNA. Four months after the first shot, my heart suddenly went wonky—irregular heartbeat, dizzy spells, blood pressure so high my doctor was alarmed. By then reports were starting to come in about deaths in the UK from the AstraZeneca jab. The UK and other countries were stopping its use. With some bitterness I listened as my doctor told me she didn’t think my symptoms were related to the vaccine. I had to go on blood pressure medication normally given to the very elderly. 

It suddenly became clear to me that we’d all been profoundly conned, which was very destabilizing for someone who had always trusted science and the guys in charge. Months later, after my fear of dying prematurely subsided, I was gripped with self-loathing for being stupid and not listening to my intuition. Finally, once I had figured out what happened, who’s responsible, and why we were so harmed, I felt a diamond-hard determination to see the corporate media cartel well and truly reformed, all the health cons exposed and all the criminals brought to justice.

I began monitoring media far and wide. Any reports on sudden deaths, on the myriad of vax injuries? Nothing, complete blackout. Instead, all news outlets pummelled us with propaganda, half-lies and fear factor messaging until families fractured, friendships severed, children were sent into spirals of mental illness, and the web of Canadian society started to fall apart. Not to mention all the rest of the social and economic carnage all around the world.

Many Canadians were turned into proto-Nazis. Many called for the quarantine and shunning of the unvaxxed; suspicion, hysteria and hatred spread like black mold. Those who chose body autonomy over an untested, experimental vaccine had their lives turned into a nightmare. Canada was being marched into fascism: produce papers, scan that QR code so you can order a cheeseburger, agree to endless draconian measures and quarantines. It was hard to buy food, have a normal life, go to school, travel, access important services, and attend gatherings. So many people were happy to show their papers in order to do their part: proof of vax status wasn’t tyranny writ large, it was doing the right thing.  

Making matters worse, in 2021, then Prime Minister Trudeau dove into the hate game and used a divide-and-conquer strategy to win his re-election campaign, calling Canadians who declined an experimental vaccine “unacceptable”, asking if we “should tolerate them”. Canada’s bought-off press helped him every step of the way. 

The unvaxxed—and those like me who became anti-vaxxers—summoned our courage and hunkered down in defense mode. We worked hard to expose and debunk the absurdity, lies and corruption. Researching became the order of the day; it was the only way to light the path forward. People from across the political spectrum became a new tribe of resisters, realizing, for the first time in our lives, that our rights were under direct threat and something very dark was underway. 

If you lose the rights of the few, you end up losing the rights of the many. Voltaire’s famous quote helped give us strength: those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Canada was deeply wounded and society was terribly divided, and we were driven to expose the truth on behalf of all of us. As Margaret Mead so famously said, Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world, indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.

Former veteran CBC reporter, Rodney Palmer, testifying before the National Citizens Inquiry: 

“They took an exceptional moment to decide they would not be journalists, that instead they would be public health messengers [which] failed to expire with the end of the emergency…and the result is that Canada’s national broadcaster has morphed into a state broadcaster. And I worked in countries where there were state broadcasters—China, Syria, Malawi, North Korea—it’s promoting government policy without question, while censoring, belittling and shaming learned Canadians who dare to object and inform us of the truth. Bad journalism is incompetence but propaganda is a betrayal. And that’s what CBC has done, it betrayed us all.”

People still ignorant of the media’s use of propaganda tactics often hurl abuse at those who research, use the internet to learn the truth, think freely and question official narratives. Derogatory insults, stereotypes and cliches are used to belittle. Ironically, they believe they’re educated and innately superior—if they didn’t hear it on the news it didn’t happen or it’s conspiracy theory. They’ve become weaponized handmaidens—useful, manipulated and strictly controlled.

Canadian society is now fractured and unwell, though nobody seems to want to talk about that. Hoping to heal by avoidance, perhaps. We don’t want to believe that science could actually harm us, but we know we don’t want that nightmare to ever repeat. Luckily for all of us, efforts to crush free speech have failed—so far. But attacks continue and we’re seeing more dirty tactics, more devious legislation to push us into compliance and obedience. The same bad actors who sold us “safe and effective” are now demonizing by levelling accusations of hatred, far right extremism, and misinformation. How ludicrous and how obvious. 

Most people aren’t “far” anything, other than right so far. Most are firmly in the majority middle which tends to be about 75% of the population; they value reasonableness and discussion, they value balanced perspectives and cool heads prevailing. The majority middle tend to dislike extremist ideas and extremist groups; they keep civil society afloat. And the accusation of misinformation is both a weapon and a disguise—a weapon because it aims to kill facts and truth; a disguise because it shields the corrupt from scrutiny.

The time to wake up was yesterday. The vaccine industrial complex is real; militarism, greed and sociopathy have corroded science thanks to lax laws and regulation, lack of transparency and far too much trust. The same people invested in pharma also own the corporate media. They don’t want us to trust the decency of our fellow Canadians; they want us obedient, divided and fearful. If they can keep us in constant opposition it’s easier to slow march us into tyranny. You would know all this if you did some research and stopped allowing yourself to be easy pickings for brainwashing. We better wise up, come together and focus on the right targets. It’s no longer Left versus Right but rather Truth versus Propaganda. 

Corporate and government-funded media are not our friends—not worthy of blanket trust; giving them our attention needs to be a cautionary tale of alert skepticism. The sooner we become media literate, the sooner we learn how to find high quality sources of independent information. It’s up to us to protect our democracy, freedom and health.

* Paper Newsletter on Hiatus

Posted on by
2

I’ve been asked why the Lillooet Gazette newsletter, in paper format, is on hiatus. The easy answer is after 18 months I need a break and some time to refocus and recharge. Each one-page issue costs nearly $700 (printing and Canada Post charges) and though money has been offered I don’t accept donations since that could compromise my ability to speak freely and/or exert expectations/influence over editorial choices.

The complicated answer to the question is that it’s lonely out on the edge. As other citizen journalists will tell you, most of the time you’re going blind, which requires endless internal motivation, not unlike faith. When you’re working online you can see your stats, how many views and visits, how many followers, how many comments, etc. But paper format is different. You gather information that you know is important, you publish and distribute it as best you can, then pray it makes a difference. 

A screenshot of one issue.

How much difference it makes is debatable. The reality is, many people (too many) are chained to mainstream “news” and are oblivious to what’s happening. They just want to believe that those in power are good and carry on living their lives. I don’t blame them; acquiring knowledge takes its toll, there’s a sacrifice involved. I know because I’m living it. Six years ago I sat in front of the TV news and believed every word they said. Then, one auspicious day, it was like I had a bag ripped off my head and I realized I had to stop trusting. Gradually, with lots of research, I learned that they were betraying us, either unwittingly or by design. And by “they” I mean, the so-called elites and all the institutions they own and control, including the dinosaur media. The extent of lies and corruption is breathtaking and stinks something fierce. Learning how the world really works is hard on the soul. And very destabilizing.

Screenshot

But knowledge gradually brings inner growth and strength. It’s crucial to be able to see clearly and not be numb and dumbed down. They’re adept at keeping us brainwashed, confused, exhausted and obedient. The only way out—and a great way to regain your mental health—is to yank our attention away from mainstream media. We have the internet, it’s still easy to find high quality sources of information from the people with integrity who have our backs. Many of them are highlighted here in this blog. 

I’ll continue working and posting articles and I’ll continue to carefully watch what’s going on in Council and what the town’s administration is doing. As we all know, sunlight is the best disinfectant; without public oversight or media spotlight the people who manage things can lose perspective. The demise of the historic Bridge River Lillooet News (83 years!) started by the infamous, irascible, truth-loving Margaret (Ma) Murray came as quite a shock. And it’s a dangerous time to be without a newspaper.

For those of us trying to raise awareness and doing the hard work on behalf of everyone else, it’s best to remember the wise words of anthropologist, Margaret Mead: Never doubt that a small group of committed and thoughtful citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. 

* The Toxic Brotherhood

Posted on by
Reply

Throughout history there’s always been the so-called “elite” who wield power and are spectacularly wealthy. Our survival often depends on them, but we’re at an impasse: our survival is now threatened by them. Colossal decisions are being made about our future, mostly without our knowledge and definitely without our consent.

Comprehension requires us to recognize the existence of a global toxic brotherhood but many people are reluctant to do so. Perhaps the participation of a scant few females inhibits perception; yes, there are women within toxic brotherhoods (who get no pass for being there) but they’re a micro-minority playing by the rules. Without a doubt the world is run by men—bad men, mostly, who behave in predictable ways. 

To be clear, this article is not about misandry. Most men are caring, loving, protective, non-violent, benign, benevolent, honourable, wise. But their power and influence has devolved, is being driven to the periphery, even underground. Earth and humanity are being overwhelmed by a transnational mob of sociopaths, psychopaths and violent alpha males who are not seen by anybody, not loyal to anybody and not held accountable by anybody.  

Let’s briefly sketch their primary behaviours, which interact for mutual advantage inside a closed  matrix.These five elements define a toxic brotherhood who are deeply embedded in all social, political and economic systems.

Paranoia. Intelligence agencies and, in America, their over 52,000 contractors. CIA, FBI, spies, deceit, espionage. Subterfuge and suspicion. They always have enemies; their enemies are always making something bad and/or planning something bad so we’d better be doing it, too. Their enemies are supposed to be our enemies.  

Secrecy. Classified information, privileged access, invisible partnerships. Devious long-term planning, racketeering, quietly trying to put authoritarian laws on the books like Bills C-8 and C-9. Inventing fiscal laws that protect a black, or covert, economy. Legitimizing theft of taxpayer money—U.S. $21 trillion according to Catherine Fitts, an economist in the Bush Jr. White House whose integrity got her kicked out of the club. The capture of global health organizations, owning “the science” from molecule to market. Information blackouts and media collusion. Wargame conferences brainstorming the militarization of vaccinology and subversion of democracy. Robert F Kennedy Jr from The Real Anthony Fauci : “Dark Winter, Atlantic Storm, and Global Mercury were only three of over a dozen Germ Games staged by military, medical, and intelligence planners leading up to COVID-19. Each of the Kafkaesque exercises became uncanny predictors of a dystopian age that pandemic planners dubbed the ‘New Normal’.”

Competition. It produces some fine results for humanity but we’re talking about the toxic kind: becoming the richest and most feared. Conquest. Carving up the world. Too much is never enough. Willfully ignoring harmful downstream effects of their inventions and activities; denying culpability, deploying teams of lawyers to make their responsibility disappear. Social costs, loss of family/community, loss of livelihoods, not their problems to fix. Rigging elections, locking people out of home ownership, hiding wealth, money laundering, assisting global drug cartels, perverting justice, trampling human rights, assaulting earth’s atmosphere, destroying ecosystems, not their problems to fix. Winning is their addiction and obsession.  

Domination: Subtle or brute force. Manufacturing truth. Silencing opponents, squashing alternate visions. A culture of bald-faced lying. Manipulating the masses with dark psychology we never agreed to, nudging for desired results, brainwashing and propaganda. Strict management of all information flows through corporate-owned and government-funded “news”. The worshipping of violence. Bringing the hammer down on dissent. In its extreme form, domination is the capture, torture, and/or killing of anyone who threatens them, hence the lack of intervention by the good guys.  

Warring: Forever wars. Youth are cannibalized, inculcated with patriotic fervor, and sacrificed to trumped-up enemies. They (we) are not fighting enemy Russians, enemy Ukrainians, enemy Iranians, enemy Iraqis, enemy Israelis, enemy Tutsis, enemy Communists, enemy Viet Cong,  enemy whomevers! Since warring is such bloody good business you can never have enough enemies. The war machine is essentially a global franchise of toxic brotherhoods.

The wrong guys are in charge, the worst guys are designing the future and COVID revealed their true intentions: the militarization of everything. Physician and biological warfare expert, Meryl Nass, MD: “Coercion should be the last strategy to consider in a pandemic. If you have a remedy that works, people will flock to it. It’s troubling that the first and only option was creating a police state.” 

Stronger language from respected journalist, Sasha Latypova, at Due Diligence and Art on Substack: “Covid operation was not a public health event, although it was presented as such to the world’s population. It was a global operation, coordinated through public-private intelligence and military alliances and invoking laws designed for CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) weapons attacks.”

Indie reporter Laura Dodsworth nailed it. Author of A State of Fear ~ How the UK Government Weaponised Fear During the COVID-19 Pandemic: “The ‘war on terror’ bridged an arc of exploitable fears between the Cold War and COVID. The weapon we find ourselves at war with has reduced in size from nuclear bomb behemoth, to weapons concealed on the body, to the body itself. The enemy shifted from a foreign government, to foreign terrorists, to every single one of us. In 2020, we became the enemy.”

We became the enemy. 

Mainstream media journalists don’t get this. And the few who’ve identified the existence of the toxic brotherhood have partisan blind spots. For example, Pulitzer prize winning journalist, Anne Applebaum, who calls them ‘Autocracy, Inc.’. In her article for the Atlantic, The Bad Guys are Winning, she writes: 

“Nowadays, autocracies are run not by one bad guy, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, security services (military, police, paramilitary groups, surveillance) and professional propagandists. The members of these networks are connected not only within a given country, but among many countries. The corrupt, state-controlled companies in one dictatorship do business with corrupt, state-controlled companies in another. The police in one country can arm, equip, and train the police in another. The propagandists share resources—the troll farms that promote one dictator’s propaganda can also be used to promote the propaganda of another—and themes, pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of America.”

Applebaum concludes that America’s network of bad guys are all in the Trump camp; the Democrats are essentially still good, she claims, but must be on guard because that goodness is eroding. Laughable, really, if it wasn’t so delusional. She does not believe that “the new autocratic alliance have a unifying ideology” so she cannot see their unifying motivations. The Panama Papers, the Epstein files and many other scandals make it plain that greed and depravity are thriving everywhere, including America. Political loyalty is performance; ideology is irrelevant; toxic brotherhoods join hands and lean into their skillsets. They do what works and they do it with impunity.  

Since many people have had enough of their insanity, the toxic brotherhood are rapidly building the tyrannical infrastructure required for their safety. The confluence of global digital ID, central bank digital currency, and artificial (fake) intelligence could herald the end of human freedom. AI is the theft of all human knowledge repackaged and sold as Official Truth; AI’s long play is China-style cognitive capture. Ai Wei Wei, Chinese artist and author of 1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows, lives in exile due to lifelong persecution: “When authority determines meaning, independent thought does not exist, and everything is an extension of the discourse of power. Young people in China today have no knowledge at all of the student protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989, and if they knew they might not even care, for they learn submission before they have developed the ability to raise doubts and challenge assumptions.”

Cognitive capture might be difficult to assess, but not so with institutional rot. So much money has migrated into biotechnology and bio-warfare that the institutions we’ve relied upon for hundreds of years are languishing. How much more inattention and entropy before they fail? We’re seeing chronic malfunction, incompetence and corruption in healthcare, medicine, food production, supply chains, education, science, environmentalism, community policing, communications, media reportage, banking, etc. Experts in their fields are in performance mode—pretending normalcy, prevaricating and obfuscating. They’re happy to deceive us, and themselves, as long as they keep benefitting.

Buckle up, a center this weak cannot hold. On the upside, we can reasonably predict that a One World Government will not transpire. Their strengths are also their weaknesses: paranoia, secrecy, competition, dominance and warring means they’re incapable of getting along. And without a redeeming vision for humanity, they’re likely to fail. But in the meantime, as they fumble toward power-sharing, our logical conclusion must be that they’re going to make some colossal mistakes.

Advice from the intrepid Whitney Webb: “If you’re aware of where they’re trying to take us, you can plan things to not have to comply. For example, plan to be as independent as possible so that nobody can wreck your sovereignty the way they started doing in COVID. Set up your life to be independent of controls. Reading is important. We’re in a cognitive war. Critical thinking, think for yourself, the more we outsource our thinking to AI, [the worse it gets]. People need to not be so easily influenced. Avoid the rage bait. The more upset and irrational people become, the closer we are to becoming slaves. What to do? Networks of local resistance, off grid living, lean into family and community.”

* Winnipeg Lab Breached by Chinese Scientists

Posted on by
Reply

This article was written by the brilliant forensic investigator, Andy Lee, who is on the X platform. This greatly complicates what we’ve been told about COVID, bringing into clear focus the complex web of deceit that surrounded the public messaging about the so-called vaccine. And it implicates Canada in a startling and disturbing way.

Chrétien Family Linked to Chinese Scientist Involved In Winnipeg Laboratory Breach

~ Michel Chrétien, the brother of former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, carried out research studies on deadly viruses with a Chinese-Canadian scientist removed by the RCMP.

By Andy Lee 

She was a brilliant scientist, credited as one of the researchers who helped cure Ebola. Then came the news of her sudden removal, followed by reports of virus shipments to China. No one knows where she is now, but we do know where she has been. One thing is for certain – the story of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu is a mysterious one.

The problems appeared to start in 2019.

It was that summer the news broke that Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, along with her husband Keding Cheng and a number of unidentified Chinese students, had been escorted out of the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg, Canada by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The sudden removal of Qiu on July 5, a prominent virologist who was at one time the head of the Vaccine Development and Antiviral Therapies department in the Special Pathogen Program of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), sent shockwaves through the international community. The NML, a biosafety level-4 laboratory (BSL-4), is Canada’s only laboratory equipped to contain and deal with the world’s most deadly pathogens. One of only about 50 worldwide, it is operated by the Government of Canada through PHAC. The removal of Qiu and her colleagues was described as a “policy breach,” and assurances were given to the public that there was no safety risk. Those assurances however felt meek, particularly after Covid-19 hit in December of 2019. Qiu’s work, though centred mostly around the Ebola virus, also crossed into coronavirus research. Her husband had published research on Covid-19’s predecessor which hit Canada in 2003: Severe Acute Respiratory Virus (SARS). It had further been discovered in August of 2019 that Qiu had been collaborating with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the BSL-4 lab theorized to have been the source of a lab leak resulting in the Covid-19 pandemic. Much speculation followed. Charges were never laid in the matter however, and after having her security clearance revoked and being placed on administrative leave for almost two years, she was finally officially fired in January 2021.

The reasoning behind her firing remains murky. Access to information requests obtained by CBC showed that she had been shipping live viruses, including Ebola and Henipah, to Beijing, in March of 2019, preceding her removal from NML. Any shipments would have required the approval of PHAC however, who insisted that all relevant protocols were followed. It was never confirmed if the shipment was a part of the RCMP investigation.

While we may never know the exact reason why Qiu was escorted out that day – theories ranged from espionage concerns, to intellectual property infringement, to technical policy missteps – we do know one thing now. She united with Michel Chrétien, the brother of former Prime Minister of Jean Chrétien, to expand their joint research interests. And that research was later used in work done on novel Covid-19 therapies by Michel Chrétien in further collaboration with China down the road.

Qiu’s breakthrough came in 2013. After years of experimental research with monoclonal antibodies, a combination of three which she dubbed “ZMab” showed immense promise in protecting against oft-lethal Ebola infections. Her research paper on the subject stated “We previously demonstrated that the administration of ZMAb within 24 hours after exposure [to Ebola virus] completely protected all treated NHPs (non-human primates)” – an incredible claim against a pathogen with a mortality rate approaching ninety per cent. That Chrétien would want to work with her is hardly surprising. Her study was nothing short of a miracle.

The title of the paper detailing their joint research efforts is “Dr. Chrétien’s Love Affair With China,” and it is fascinating.

Chrétien, a researcher at the Clinical Research Institute of Montreal (IRCM), made headlines in early 2020 after it was postulated whether there may be a “made-in-Canada” solution to the coronavirus outbreak. Michel’s prior work using quercetin – a popular supplement – drew broad attention, particularly from China. His former studies had involved studying quercetin’s effectiveness in treating Ebola, which were done in conjunction with NML during the 2014 Ebola outbreak. What was not known at the time is that Qiu – the virologist later removed by the RCMP – was the scientist at NML running the experiments for him. The article details how Chrétien contacted Qiu in 2014 to run tests for him using quercetin on Ebola at the NML. After finding success in those trials, they later conducted similar investigations on Zika virus, claiming that the results were “beyond their expectations.”

There were beliefs that quercetin may also work on Covid-19, and the clinical trials commenced in China before Covid-19 was even declared a pandemic. Chrétien, an accomplished scientist who has won many awards in his field, had studied at Berkeley, and trained with Dr. Choh Hao Li. He maintained high-level connections to Chinese researchers afterward, having been granted an honorary professorship at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in the 1980s. He is also credited for bringing Chinese students to the IRCM to train at the prestigious institution. He later used those connections to contact researchers in Wuhan in February of 2020, asking if he could help by sending samples for clinical trials to test quercetin’s efficacy in treating Covid-19. A million dollars was donated by the Lazaridis Family Foundation to commence the study in February 2020. The WHO declared Covid-19 a global pandemic shortly after, on March 11, 2020.

The study was quietly scrapped and cancelled in late 2020, citing a lack of clinical subjects to test the remedy on. The claim was that the virus had been “quickly brought under control,” in China, rendering the study irrelevant as “the number of patients needed to set up clinical trials was no longer available there [in China].” Of course, today, after witnessing years of brutal-but-futile lockdowns in China put into place in a misguided government effort to mitigate the spread of the virus, we know that wasn’t true at all.

We will never know definitively what transpired at the Winnipeg NML. The Liberal government has made sure of that, taking the extraordinary step to kill any investigation by suing the House Speaker to block the release of records regarding the firing of Qiu and her husband.”It appears that what you might well call Chinese agents infiltrated one of the highest prized national security elements when it comes to biosecurity and biodefence,” said Christian Leuprecht, a security expert and professor at the Royal Military College.

We know that Qiu, originally from and trained in China, sent live viral samples to Beijing, and that she was a key asset in building relationships with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Her trips to China were well-known and documented, and hardly clandestine in nature. She took five trips to the Wuhan Institute of Virology through 2017-2018 alone, following its approval as a BSL-4 facility in 2017. PHAC and the Government of Canada were certainly aware of her activities and were encouraging not just her, but others to forge closer ties to Chinese researchers. Was she releasing information to scientists working for the Chinese government during those trips? Almost certainly. They were research partners. Was she doing it without the full knowledge and grace of PHAC, and running afoul of protocols or treading into espionage territory? Difficult to say. Only she, and maybe a handful of others, know.

One thing that we can say for certain is that her investigations in her field were invaluable, likely changing millions of lives, and that it appears that the groundwork she helped to lay not just in Ebola, but in quercetin research, conjointly with Michel Chrétien, had immeasurable potential that was unfortunately never realized. We will never get answers on why his study in China, later confirmed to show promise in treating Covid-19, was cancelled, just as we will never be told why CanSino abandoned early trials on vaccine research with Canadian scientists.

The other lesson to be learned is that we have to be more cautious with how we approach research and development projects with the Chinese government. Stricter protocols and guidelines are necessary to define intellectual property boundaries. Qiu’s name appeared on numerous research papers done in conjunction with the Academy of Military Science in China, as well as on several patents submitted to the China National Intellectual Property Administration. Is this where the trouble started? Projects and partnerships need to be carefully monitored by PHAC going forward to defend national security interests, and even while PHAC was acutely aware of Qiu’s work with with Chinese researchers, she still somehow ended up barred from one of our top laboratory facilities. Did she get caught up in an intellectual property battle by transferring research to the Chinese government? And Chrétien’s cancelled quercetin trials – which barely even made the news – should certainly serve as an advisory notice for Canadian workers who carry out research with China, only to have those projects inexplicably shelved for dubious reasons.

As for the the sad story of Qiu, an incredible Chinese-Canadian virologist who helped to cure Ebola, it appears that the answers to those questions will remain tightly locked in the vault of Covid-era secrets, along with many others. It should be the strongest precautionary tale to Canada of them all however; whatever else she may have been, she was a genius in her field, and it is hard to argue that what happened to her should be described as anything other than a tragic loss for all.

* COVID WAS A PLANDEMIC

Posted on by

Did you know that tabletop wargaming has been going on for decades? Or that sociopathic so-called ‘scientists’ are busy beavering away in military-funded labs around the world, including Wuhan, China, making bioweapons because ‘their enemies’ might do it first? And did you know that over the decades the pharmaceutical industry has been captured by militaristic paranoia? If your answers are ‘No’ then it’s time to do some research.

You could start here with Whitney Webb’s timely article providing background and context.

TWO MONTHS BEFORE COVID WAS ANNOUNCED, key players gathered for Event 201 to make plans to manage a global pandemic. Two months later, like magic, a “deadly” virus arrives, coordinated global lockdowns roll out smoothly, and world’s people were terrorized into compliance. We had to take an experimental jab filled with ‘new technology’ junk they sold as “safe and effective”.

The following are excerpts from ‘The Real Anthony Fauci’ by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Exhaustively researched and annotated, scrupulous attention to facts and documentation, it’s the kind of revelatory book that only comes along once in a century. I read the 450+ page book TWICE so you don’t have to.

“Participants included a group of high-ranking kahunas from the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, Bloomberg/Johns Hopkins University, the CDC, various media powerhouses, the Chinese government, a former CIA/NSA director, vaccine maker Johnson & Johnson, the globe’s largest pharmaceutical company; finance and biosecurity industry chieftains, and the president of Edelman, the world’s largest PR firm.

“War games became instruments for imposing obedience. Dark Winter, Atlantic Storm, and Global Mercury were only three of over a dozen Germ Games staged by military, medical, and intelligence planners leading up to COVID-19. Each of the Kafkaesque exercises became uncanny predictors of a dystopian age that pandemic planners dubbed the ‘New Normal’.”

“The consistent feature is an affinity for militarizing medicine and introducing centralized autocratic governance. Each rehearsal ends with the same grim punchline: the global pandemic is an excuse to justify the imposition of tyranny and coerced vaccination.

“The panelists role-played strategies for co-opting the world’s most influential political institutions, subverting democratic governance, and positioning themselves as unelected rulers of the emerging authoritarian regime. They practised techniques for ruthlessly controlling dissent, expression and movement, and degrading civil rights, autonomy, and sovereignty.

“After 9/11, “the War on Terror triggered a tectonic shift in global security priorities and elephantine ripples in defense spending patterns across the globe as open democracies began shifting to a security state footing. The revival in US government interest in germ warfare opened new opportunities. The US bio-defense budget went from $137 million in 1997 to $14.5 billion for 2001-2004. Between 2001 and 2014, the US spent around $80 billion on bio-defense. Since germ weaponry was still illegal, vaccines became a critical euphemism for the revival of the multi-billion dollar bioweapons industry.”    

“The Pentagon could not get into compliance with the Biological Weapons Convention which limited the Pentagon’s freedom to undertake new research programs, particularly those referred to as “the leading edge of bio-defense”. So then-VP Dick Cheney transferred the Pentagon’s research to the National Institutes of Health, specifically to NIAID. By 2004, the transfer was complete and NIAID was transformed into an arm of the defense sector. This made NIAID Director Anthony Fauci a  major player in biodefense and germ warfare.”

* KICLEI UPDATE

Regular readers will recall the Gazette report that CAO McCulloch agreed to have a conversation with KICLEI’s Maggie Hope Braun. It was hoped she would inform him about sneaky globalist plans: climate action disguises systematic dismantling of democratic governance to weaken municipalities. Unfortunately, as soon as KICLEI was making some headway, it was attacked by the McMedia, in particular the National Post, which maligned and smeared using falsehoods, a common silencing tactic these days. Braun refuted the falsehoods but the stress took its toll. Long story short, for now, no conversation with the CAO. 

Braun reported: “At the FCM [Federation of Canadian Municipalities] conference, an ICLEI session labelled our message as “misinformation”. When councillors asked for a response to our documented concerns, ICLEI refused—saying even acknowledging our questions would “give them attention.” Let that sink in. “Elected officials are being told not to examine questions of jurisdiction, consent, or cost—because the answers might empower their communities. But it’s not working. Across the country, councillors are stepping up. 

“In Alberta, our issues became election issues. We are breaking through. And they know it. Wheatland County the Town of Vermilion and others withdrew from FCM, setting a precedent for others to follow. Lethbridge challenged PCP/IPCC targets, recommending a 20% GHG reduction instead of 40%–saving $63 million in projected carbon credit costs. In B.C., we exposed the truth: the Net-Zero Action Charter frameworks are voluntary, not mandatory. That opens the door for respectful withdrawals and local debate. 

Reflecting on 2025 challenges, Braun said, “If you’re feeling burnt out or behind—so am I. But none of us are alone. Every email, delegation, and conversation you had this year helped lay a foundation for something powerful.”

* Mother’s Testimony on the Death of her Newborn

Posted on by
Reply

[It’s rare to see a testimonial like this. Fair warning: it can be painful to read. But it’s an important document from the early 1980s before big pharma convinced President Reagan in 1986 to give them legal immunity for their products: they were being successfully sued by heart-broken parents. We should all know, without a doubt, that having legal immunity paved the way for the vaccine industrial complex to become riddled with scientific fraud, greed and sociopathic disregard for public health and safety over the decades. When this testimonial was written, a baby’s first shot was at two months of age; those two months gave mothers the opportunity to see their baby’s neurological development, to observe their baby’s natural behaviours and body functions. Shortly after pharma was given legal immunity, they made it mandatory that a newborn was vaccinated on day one of life.]

“It was January 12, 1983, and I was getting ready to take my two-month-old son, Richie, to the pediatrician for his checkup,” Janet recalled. “My sister-in-law called and asked me if I had watched the Phil Donahue Show on the side effects of vaccines that morning. I told her I hadn’t had time to watch it, but that I’d call her later to learn more.”

In two months, Richie’s weight had climbed to eleven pounds, nine ounces from his six-pound, six-ounce birth weight. He frequently had loose stools the first eight days after he came home from the hospital. His formula was changed to plain Simulac without iron and the loose stools stopped. He was a good eater and very even-tempered, despite a nagging problem with gas that had prompted Janet’s pediatrician to put him on the antiflatulent Mylicon. An alert and active baby, he was awake more than most newborns during the day and wanted to eat several times a night. 

“Well, I can’t find anything wrong with this baby,” Janet’s pediatrician said, after checking Richie over. He proceeded to give Richie is first DPT shot and oral polio vaccine and told Janet to “give him half a baby aspirin or children’s Tylenol in four hours.”

“I knew the DPT shots produced a lot of discomfort,” Janet admitted, “because my five-year-old son, Ryan, had terrible problems with all this DPT shots. After Ryan’s first DPT shot, his leg got red and hot and swollen from the hip to the knee. It was so swollen, I was worried about the circulation in his leg. His temperature always zoomed to over 103 degrees and he screamed uncontrollably. Nothing could stop his screaming. He also had diarrhea and vomiting. All this lasted for about forty-eight hours after each shot. When I phoned my pediatrician to report on Ryan’s condition and asked what I should do, he always told me it was a normal reaction to the DPT shot and not to worry.”

A licensed practical nurse, Janet works on the orthopedic-neurology floor of a community hospital. While she has received an education in nursing and has practiced for five years, she says she was never informed about adverse reactions or contraindications to vaccines in nursing school. 

“We were never taught about reactions to vaccines, and I had asked my friends who are RN’s if they were taught about vaccine reactions or which children should not receive the vaccines, and they all said no. Some of them have advanced degrees. From what I know now about the pertussis vaccine, my pediatrician should have reviewed our family history, which includes epilepsy, deafness, and blindness caused by unexplained neurologic damage, Bell’s Palsy, rheumatic heart disease, diabetes, and allergies including milk intolerance, and migraine headaches before he gave either of my sons the pertussis vaccine. He never discussed with me.” 

Janet trusted her pediatrician when he said that Ryan’s violent reactions to his DPT shots were normal. She had no reason to suspect they were not. 

Janet remembers taking Richie home, hoping his reaction to his first DPT shot would not be as bad as his older brother’s had been. By that evening, however, Richie’s hip had started to swell just like Ryan’s had after his shots. But Richie’s hip then turned from red to dark purple, and later the purple started to spread out from the site of the injection in round patches. Richie did not have a fever and drank from his bottle, but he cried if Janet touched his leg. 

“He woke up about one-thirty in the middle of the night crying,” Janet said. “After a couple of sucks on the bottle he went back to sleep until six that morning. When he woke up, he started screaming off and on. He sounded like a cat in pain. His scream was high and forceful and then he would fall asleep. I put a soft blanket underneath him because I figured his hip was bothering him.”

By seven-thirty in the morning, he was crying again. Janet picked him up and he was limp. His cry was weak now, and he seemed unable to hold his head up. “I fed him a little cereal, and he took a whole bottle of formula and fell back to sleep. I thought it was strange because he usually was awake at this time in the morning. But I put it down to the shot and didn’t worry.”

About eight-thirty, Janet was drinking coffee, and she heard Richie give out a tremendous explosion of gas into his diapers. “I knew he was having diarrhea, but I wondered why he didn’t wake up because he hated to have anything in his diapers. I woke him up and changed him. His diapers were full of light brownish diarrhea with a lot of mucus. He fell asleep again for about two hours and woke up crying. When I picked him up, he was completely soaked through two receiving blankets. I have never seen a baby soaked like that. The odor was musty and pungent, a smell I will never forget.”

Janet gave Richie a bath to wash him off. “He was limp and he just stared at me with dark eyes as if he was mad at me. I noticed his little hands were ice-cold from the wrists down. It was winter, and I thought his hands were cold from the bath I was giving him or maybe I had the heat turned too low.”

Janet got Richie dressed and put socks on his hands to keep them warm. She gave him eight ounces of warm water, which he drank more slowly than usual. In the afternoon, Janet changed three more diapers, all of them containing yellow diarrhea. In each diaper, however, the amount of diarrhea was less. Richie’s leg still seemed to hurt him, and his fingers twitched a little while he slept. 

“I did not call the doctor,” Janet explained, “because Richie had the exact same symptoms as Ryan earlier had had with his shots—strange crying alternating with unusual amounts of sleeping, diarrhea, and a red, swollen leg. The only difference was that Richie slept more and did not have a fever, and I was thankful for that because I know a high fever can produce febrile convulsions. In fact, he was on the cool side, and I made sure I kept him dressed warmly after I noticed his hands were cold. The whole day I kept giving Richie his bottle. I just didn’t realize what was happening to him.”

At four o’clock that afternoon, Richie vomited a little. He had gagged on the nipple of the bottle, and so Janet spoon-fed him water to keep fluids in his body. “I tickled his lips with my finger, and he didn’t smile at me like he usually did. He just kept staring at me with dark eyes like he was mad at me.”

At eight o’clock that evening, Richie still did not have a fever and his hands were still cold. Janet’s husband, Anthony, changed another diaper with a small amount of diarrhea in it while Janet was at the drugstore buying Pedialyte for Richie. At ten forty-five, she woke her baby up and started to give him a bottle. 

“He took two sucks. His eyes were open. All of a sudden he stopped sucking. I shook his shoulder, and called his name. He didn’t respond to me. I put my lips to his forehead, and he was ice cold and clammy. Then he started sighing. With each breath, he made a sighing sound.”

With Richie in her arms, Janet ran and told her husband there was something wrong with their baby. Anthony held Richie while Janet called her doctor’s answering service and explained to the pediatrician on call that Richie had had his first DPT shot the day before. She told him all the symptoms Richie had shown since then. 

“I told him everything that had happened to Richie since he got his shot the day before,” Janet said. “He didn’t sound worried and agreed that it was probably a DPT reaction. While I was talking to him, Anthony came into the room and held Richie under the kitchen light, and I noticed Richie’s pupils were not responding to the light. I told the doctor that, too. He told me that if I wanted to, I could take him to the hospital and have him checked over. I said yes, I would, and asked him if he was going to meet us there. He said, no, it wasn’t necessary, that someone else would check Richie and call him back with the results. 

“He didn’t tell me to call an ambulance and rush him to the nearest hospital. He just wasn’t that concerned about the symptoms I described,” Janet recalled. She hung up with a feeling of foreboding that she could not shake. 

Anthony and Janet decided they had better get Richie to the hospital immediately. Anthony hurriedly dressed and left to warm up the car while Janet rushed into Ryan’s bedroom and woke him up. Then she ran into her bedroom and laid Richie on the bed so she could get dressed to go to the hospital. Five-year-old Ryan came into Janet’s bedroom and watched his baby brother, who was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling and sighing. 

“I picked Richie up, and he stopped breathing. I screamed for Anthony and breathed into Richie’s mouth but there was no response. I ran down to the dining room and started to perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on him while Anthony called the ambulance. I kept doing CPR, and all of a sudden vomit started to fly out of his mouth. I turned him over and clapped him on the back to clear his breathing passages. Then I continued with the CPR. The ambulance came and the paramedics continued the CPR. I knew my baby was gone. I kept screaming he was dead. When he had stopped breathing in my arms, all of a sudden, the whole day came together like one big nightmare. He had been dying all day, and I didn’t even know it.”

Richie had died thirty-three hours after he received his first DPT shot. When the emergency-room doctor pronounced Richie dead, Janet told the nurses to call her pediatrician. 

[Dear Reader, unfortunately one page is missing from this document. I downloaded it and must have made an error and when I tried to find it again on the Wayback Machine, I couldn’t, it wasn’t there. Was the document disappeared? In this current atmosphere of dire corruption and evil, perhaps so. In any case, here’s the rest of the testimony.]

…lungs and brain. Janet and Anthony then set up a meeting with the coroner to discuss the autopsy report. 

When they entered the coroner’s office, a nurse handed Janet an article entitled “The Pathologist and the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)” and told her to read it. Janet refused. Then the coroner started reading out loud to her from the article. She interrupted him. “My son did not die a SIDS death,” she said. “Now let me tell you what happened in the thirty-three hours following Richie’s first DPT shot.” She told him, and he listened. He then wrote down on the death certificate, “death due to irreversible shock”. When Janet asked him what caused the shock, he said the best he could do was to write down that the shock was due to a “possible DPT reaction”. 

Janet asked the coroner why he could not state point-blank that Richie’s death was due to a DPT shot reaction, when it was obvious that was the case. She produced the Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR) and read him the portion pertaining to pertussis vaccine reactions. The PDR was one of the many medical references and scientific articles Janet had read since Richie’s death. 

“He said he couldn’t write down on the death certificate that Richie had died from a DPT reaction because ‘the state’s standing on immunizations would be in an uproar’. Besides, he said, it would be unscientific because the autopsy report was not specific enough about the cause of death. At that point, we discussed the specific, scientific definition of SIDS. Finally, he admitted that my son had died from ‘irreversible shock’ due to ‘probable reaction to DPT’”. 

The coroner gave Janet and Anthony a note exempting any future children they might have from receiving the pertussis vaccine. Three weeks later he gave them a signed “query of death” stating the official cause of death, which was that Richie died from “irreversible shock” due to a “probable reaction to DPT”. About two and a half months later, they discovered that Richie’s official death certificate had not yet been filed by the coroner at the town clerk’s office. 

“We kept waiting for the state to send us an official death certificate and when we didn’t get one, we called the town clerk’s office and discovered that the official cause of death had never been filed by the coroner with the registrar. After we gave the registrar the signed ‘query of death’ given to us by the coroner more than two months before, listing the cause of Richie’s death, we received an official death certificate the next day.”

Janet recently spoke with her county health commissioner and asked if the county was aware of the coroner’s report and the official cause of Richie’s death. “The commissioner told that she was not aware of the official cause of death, although she had heard that my son died soon after a DPT shot. She admitted that there is no follow-up on reports of adverse reactions or deaths immediately following immunization by state or county health officials.”

“You see, at the time of Richie’s death, my husband and I were very concerned that Richie might have reacted to a bad lot of DPT vaccine. We wanted the vaccine preserved for analysis to find out if there was something wrong with it, but to our knowledge nothing was done. We were concerned that other children might receive the same vaccine, and we felt it should be investigated.”

The commissioner also told Janet that it costs the state and private pediatricians a great deal of money to spend office time to educate parents about adverse reactions to vaccines. “She told me that it costs the state health clinics fifty-five dollars [early 1980s] per child to explain to the mothers about reactions and have them sign the consent forms that are required by law in public health clinics. But it costs a private pediatrician only twenty-five dollars to give the same vaccine to a child, because private doctors are not federally required to inform parents about reactions and have them sign a consent form. She said, ‘Doctors are not paid to educate parents. They are paid to give vaccinations. Besides, most parents do not want to know about adverse reactions because it puts the responsibility in their laps and they don’t want to have to deal with it.’” 

Janet was in a state of shock for weeks after Richie’s death. She could not drive a car or make the simplest decision without help. Anxiety attacks made it difficult for her to leave the house. A person who had always prided itself [sic] on her strength and steadfastness, she was completely lost for the first time in her life.

Five-year-old Ryan was also in a state of shock. He had seen this baby brother die in his mother’s arms and had experienced the anguish and terror which that night had brought to his family. In the days following Richie’s death, Ryan started exploding with hysterical fits; he refused to eat unless Janet first tested his food for “poison”.

“Ryan did not understand why the baby died. Everything I had taught him over the years—like not putting anything in your mouth except food—became blown out of proportion. If he touched a plant leaf, he would scream that he was going to die. He thought everything was going to kill him, and he would make me eat each bit of his food first—even ice cream—before he would eat it.”

In the middle of making funeral arrangements for Richie, Janet stopped and took Ryan aside. She held him close and talked softly to him.

“’Ryan,’ I said, ‘we are a special family now. We have a baby angel to watch over us. Richie is a baby angel now and he has magic. His magic will make us love each other more.’ Ryan became calmer, but he still wanted to know why Richie died. So it told him, ‘When babies are born, they get shots to make them strong. The shots didn’t work for Richie. They didn’t make him strong.’ And he seemed to understand.”

One morning later that winter, Ryan and Janet were looking out the window at the falling snow. Janet remembers it was a bright day and sunlight was hitting the snow just right. “It looked as if the sky was raining little diamonds that were fluttering down all around, covering the trees and grass with sparkles. Ryan said, ‘Mommy, what is it?’ We used to call that angel dust when I was a child, so I said, ‘That is angel dust.’ He looked at me with big eyes and said, ‘Mommy, is Richie doing that?’ I thought, well, what’s the harm and said, ‘Yes, Richie is doing that for you.’ Well, he ran around the house so excited for about two hours. When it stopped, he said, ‘Mommy, I think Richie got tired of throwing it down.’”

They laughed together. It was then that Janet knew Ryan had finally accepted Richie’s death. “Ryan knows the shot didn’t work for Richie, but he doesn’t know the DPT shot killed him. Someday he will know. I am keeping all the records for him so he will know why his brother died.” 

Here’s a clip from 1985 and the Phil Donohue show about vaccine injuries. Again, this was just prior to then President Reagan giving legal immunity to pharmaceutical companies.

Some memes to illustrate the precarious and degraded nature of ‘public health’ today.

* CANADA CANNOT STOP THE DRUG CARTELS??

Posted on by

The drug crisis is everywhere; it’s so severe St’at’imc Chiefs recently called local states of emergency. The cause of this tragedy is the federal government’s failure to prevent international drug cartels from taking hold, reports indie journalist and drug crimes expert, Sam Cooper.

“Two Supreme Court rulings—Stinchcomb and Jordan—have gutted the capacity to prosecute complex crime,” Cooper says. Stinchcomb Law requires all incriminating evidence be turned over to the defense before trial. This gives criminals a heads up, allowing them to change the parts that have been exposed. Jordan Law helps lawyers shield their clients; after being charged with an offence, defendants must be tried within a reasonable time frame (18 months, sometimes 30) but transnational crime networks are “incredibly complex and legal cases can’t be rushed”. Canadian law enforcement is hobbled. 

“Trump hates drugs,” Cooper states. When he closed America’s southern border, international drug syndicates quickly shifted to Canada. Cooper has documented that western Canada is now the epicenter of the global drug trade! Super labs are operating in Langley and Surrey and many other locations. Vancouver has become the world’s biggest exporter of meth. East Indian crime networks have taken over the long haul trucking industry, which facilitates the drug supply chain. Dirty drug money is laundered by real estate. “It’s been known for a long time,” Cooper says.  

Cooper: Trump’s tariffs are an iteration of America’s hammer coming down on Canada for this country’s complete failure to go after drug production. Americans are completely fed up with the dysfunction, trickery and lies from Ottawa. It’s not about who’s currently in Washington,” Cooper says, “it’s about this dangerous moment in history and whether or not Canada is going to survive it. Canadians would be shocked and fearful if they knew that we cannot stop these networks.”

Why don’t the media report any of this? CBC’s senior administration are tethered to Ottawa, which pays the CBC so it can exert editorial controls. Corporations owned by the 1% own all TV stations. CBCs “your world this hour” mantra is laughable. The “news” is 100% distraction tactics. 

What to do? Urge MP Caputo to get on this. Frank.caputo@parl.gc.ca or 250-851-4991
