Councilor McNary rejected a bylaw requiring small businesses to provide EV outlet parking. “So, they’d be forced to become a gas station?” he asked. “They would have to pay for the electricity?” Alpine Engineering in Kelowna, a consulting firm whose services cost taxpayers alot, are currently overhauling our “outdated” bylaws. Alpine also suggested a bylaw requiring homeowners to retrofit and install a 240-volt outlet, which Mayor Hopfl took umbrage with. Councillor Wiebe said new residential builders should not be mandated to include EV outlets. Councilor McNary informed council that “the BC Government is backing off EVs, our hydro grid cannot cope with EV charging.”

SOME FACTS:
(1) EVs are NOT GREEN.
(2) A mine takes 16 years to get up and running—Net Zero requires hundreds of thousands of mines and they destroy ecosystems.
(3) We don’t have electrical grid capacity.
(4) EV battery lasts about 170K kms, unless it bursts into flames or freezes in the winter. The cost to replace is $50K.
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.

Reporter for two decades at the Province and Sun newspapers and Global TV. He left Global and created TheBureau.News which produces quality journalism and tells the truth. He’s highly respected and now advises international crime experts and members of the U.S. government. If that offends anyone, his eyes well up with tears when he talks about his love for Canada; like so many frustrated Canadians, he wants the political failures, incompetence and corruption to stop.
You know three things for sure when your local pharmacist publishes dis/misinformation about Ivermectin.
1) S/he isn’t well informed.
2) S/he is owned by big pharma and must repeat the official corporate line we all heard during the COVID scamdemic: ‘Ivermectin is for horses and anybody who would take it is basically stupid and bestial.’
3) They must think we’re all really, really dumb.
The Truth About Ivermectin:
Ivermectin won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2015 for Physiology and Medicine; it’s been used for decades on humans and is one of the most effective drugs ever made. It has one of the highest safety ratings and one of the lowest injury/side effect profile. Though it’s particularly effective on ridding the body of parasites, many claim it has more positive benefits to health.
The reason big pharma didn’t want people trying IVERMECTIN during the COVID scamdemic, instead of their garbage mRNA gene altering concoction, was, of course, all about $$$$$ and power.
Ivermectin, like many other drugs, is now a free market drug, meaning that the pharma patent on it has expired, meaning that without patent protection the drug is a free agent, it can be replicated by drug manufacturers who are free to sell it at a lower price.
Questions arise: if a pharmacist were to go rogue and start telling people the truth, would s/he lose her licence to dispense pharma products and maybe her/his Pharmasave franchise, too? Just asking.
We better take an active interest in globalist policy because globalists are taking a very active interest in us – and council has accepted their money.
Climate bureaucracy gives “grants” that include control levers for worming their way inside the legal charters of communities like ours. Democracy and transparency end up being sidelines—without the awareness of CAOs, CFOs, Mayors and Councillors and definitely without taxpayers’ knowledge.
In 2023, Lillooet received an LGCAP (Local Government Climate Action Program) grant of $52,078 which has to be used for an approved climate category like CO2, GHG (greenhouse gas emissions), EVs, Net Zero. The former Chief Financial Officer held back the money but this year it’s been applied to an HVAC upgrade at City Hall. The upgrade reduces a tiny fraction of Canada’s tiny fraction of greenhouse gas emissions.
That “free money” required us to fill out and return a 19-page (!) climate action report comprised of detailed questions designed to micro-manage absolutely everything: new housing, roads, development, town assets, energy, transportation. Then CFO filled out the survey, avoiding much of the intrusive demand for information and action by stating that Lillooet did not have the financial capacity, or the expertise, to fulfill the request. Nevertheless, the report makes clear that the climate scam push is fully under way. “Free money” gives away our authority to make our own decisions and protect our fiscal solvency. Council must wake up to this long-term predatory scheme and opt out.
KICLEI (Kicking the International out of Local Initiatives) helps town councils avoid these fiscal sinkholes: “What we’re seeing across Canada is a form of governance by proxy – where unelected global networks embed themselves into local government through programs like PCP (United Nations Partners for Climate Protection)m shaping policy through standardized plans and staff training. This isn’t violent—but it’s coordinated, ideological, and largely hidden from public scrutiny.”
“ICLEI and FCM (Federation of Canadian Municipalities) have created a system where one staff member and one councillor become the internal champions of a pre-scripted agenda. This mimics the structure of institutional capture—where outside influence steers local decisions through embedded advocates.” This is what it looks like:
“BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the municipality of Lillooet appoint…
a) a corporate staff person and
b) an elected official
to oversee implementation of the PCP milestones and be the points of contact for the PCP program within the municipality.
We’ve got two corporate staff persons — Deputy Corporate Office and CAO McCulloch who appointed himself (* see note below) Corporate Officer on July 15th. We taxpayers need to start paying attention; our apathy will allow the globalists to override democracy. Those who understand these threats and are quietly considering getting involved in local politics need to get elected asap!
*Post addition/correction: CAO McCulloch asked the Gazette to clarify that he did not “appoint himself” but rather he was appointed and he took an oath; it’s a legal requirement to have a Corporate Officer and the CFO leaving left that position empty. LG apologizes for the mistake.
Cell phones make life easier. They save us time. Payments are fast. Most of the time our financial transactions are safe. They make it possible to avoid boring tasks. And they’re addictive as hell–which is why so many of us have our faces glued to them and the globalist oligarchy are using them to gradually trap us inside a digital gulag.
Technology is moving fast, so fast that we don’t yet have the legal rights on the books which would protect us from technology’s harmful effects or the tyrannical goals of globalist sociopaths. Check out this website, Resist CBDC, which identifies the core issues facing us when we have no digital rights.
Right to opt out of digital systems, including Digital Identity and Digital Currencies.
Cash and cheques (physical systems) remain.
Right to privacy, anonymity and data protection.
Right to freedom of movement, travel, and assembly. No domestic travel passports.
Right to bodily autonomy. We can say NO to gene-modifying vaccines.
All existing rights shall not be limited by the implementation of digital technologies.
Resist CBDC provides tons of great information including free downloads and letter templates to assist in getting the word out.
The legal gap is being exploited by nefarious businesses who are jumping into the game while the going is good. Here’s one example in this post about Next Generation 9-1-1 coming soon to Lillooet.
We never signed on for any of this. Financial expert, Catherine Fitts: “Once they have every single human on digital ID being centrally controlled by a global monetary system, they will have complete control.”
SAY NO TO DIGITAL ID. SAYING NO IS ALL WE HAVE BUT IF WE ALL DO IT, “NO” IS ALL WE NEED!
Refuse those “convenient” apps, think about the reasons “why” they’re being offered. Keep cash alive, tell your bank you won’t go digital.
Scotland’s beloved archaeologist, historian, and host of the successful “Coast” TV series has become a citizen journalist and a passionate advocate for stopping Agenda 21 tyranny. The following excerpt is from “The Digital Cage scares the living daylights out of me” at his YouTube channel.
“I’m not in the habit of publicizing movies very much but in the case of The Agenda I make a rare exception. You have the distillation, the executive summary if you will, of frankly all a person needs to know about the threat we face as a species in the face of technocrats, oligarchs, bankers, the trilateral commission, the club of Rome, the World Health Organization, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlements, and the so-called national governments and the NOS and innumerable nests of unelected unaccountable bureaucrats that do their bidding. The details are all there in The Agenda film but suffice to say the intention on the part of all of the above listed entities is total control—total control of us and everything that grows, walks, swims, or flies on or under planet Earth.
“Words like totalitarian and dictatorship do not and cannot do justice to the extent of the proposed overreach. Totalitarians and dictators sound almost romantic by comparison. Totalitarians and dictators have been with us and among us since the beginning but the ambitions of emperors of old—of creatures like Stalin and Mao—were ultimately limited, limited by logistics, limited by the tyranny of distance, limited by the reach of their intelligence services, limited by the might of their armed forces. “What we are threatened by now and what The Agenda lays out in forensic detail is something altogether new.
“The reach made possible by technology now means we’re standing in the gate to a digital cage from which, unless we turn aside now, there may be no escape, no getting out. A handful of narcissist psychopaths has laid claim to everything on earth, our lives included. Everything down to the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat, everything that lives or grows or lies within the soils, sediments and rocks beneath our feet, every last grain of sand and blade of grass has been commoditized and claimed by those that have persuaded themselves the world is theirs and to hell with us. All we have to do is wake up and open our eyes and that nightmare future they have planned will disappear instantly and completely.”

Most people prefer going along to get along, which is understandable. But our children’s future is calling on us to educate ourselves. Traditional political and democratic structures are coming off the rails. This iceberg meme illustrates the dark agenda bearing down on us. Those who don’t understand it—and don’t realize that COVID serves its agenda—are dangerously uninformed.
(Anti-vax? Didn’t used to be: I’ve had 40 , 20 during school, 19 for travels. The 40th—sold as new “safe and effective” mRNA technology—damaged my cardiac function and hastened my father’s death. ~ Troy)
Since 1986, pharmaceutical companies have total legal immunity from the injuries and deaths their products cause; greed is flourishing within vaccine science and all medical agencies. In 2020:
•500 new billionaires were created during COVID, one every 17 hours!
•The world’s ten richest men, notably Bill Gates, doubled their fortunes.
•The greatest transfer of wealth in history has occurred; incomes of 99% of humanity fell.
The same people who made the so-called vaccine also demanded global lock downs. They own everything and want total control, too. What did we hear repeatedly during COVID? It was time for “The Great Reset”; their absurd, anti-human agenda will tear down society. Their goal for us, (but not them): we “own nothing and be happy”.
When we watch movies like the Hunger Games, Divergent, The Handmaid’s Tale, or Mad Max, we know what side we’re on. But then, in real life, when so many signals are pointing toward tyranny, we aren’t seeing it—because corporate-owned media isn’t reporting. Instead, we are distracted, fearful, tribal and fighting among ourselves. Ignorance and emotional confusion are by design.
Anyone still believing those at the top are working for our well-being needs to wake up.
Why is freedom of speech under attack? Blacklock’s Reporter discovered Liberal Minister Karina Gould paid researchers nearly $370,000 to discourage media and the public from questioning authority. If we can’t question authority, then we can’t reveal bad laws or shoddy vaccines. We can’t alert our fellow citizens…and despots get into power and stay there. They decide and we obey. Without free speech, all other rights disappear. Right now, those speaking up are being silenced, censored, debanked, jailed—or worse. We’re living in one of those dangerous times they teach about in history class.
What to do? Manage our information terrain. Learn to recognize brainwashing and propaganda. Find high quality news and information. Follow independent journalists. Be skeptical. Research. Verify. Use the power of the internet. Very important for divided families to heal and come back together! Conversations from the heart will lead to new awareness. And it begins with forgiveness; everyone has made mistakes. When our communities get back to normal, we’ll be better able to protect the future for our children’s children’s children.
Top notch CBC journalists—Trish Wood, Marianne Klowak, and Rodney Palmer—spill the beans. All three retired in disgust.
To understand what’s happened to journalism, we can point to the Trusted News Initiative (TNI), a global news brokerage claiming to combat misinformation and fake news. TNI was formed in 2019 because public trust in media was only 29%. A shotgun wedding transpired between all legacy media and all big tech, including Facebook and Google. The motive was information control. When COVID hit, the vaccine failed and public trust sank even lower. The TNI propaganda machine went into overdrive pushing “misinformation” paranoia. They needed people to stay obedient, fearful, and arguing among ourselves. Instead, many of us turned to researchers, ethical scientists, medical activists and citizen journalists who had the facts.
How TNI works: editors and reporters send news stories to TNI for approval before the information can be released. If TNI doesn’t approve, the story is red-penned and sent back. When they don’t like the expert a reporter is quoting, the reporter is told to use their in-house expert instead. Do you notice that TV news presenters all say the exact same message, same phrases, same sentences, all at the same time? That’s not “trustworthy”, it’s Orwell’s Ministry of Truth: you only know what we tell you.
We must ask, what will censorship accomplish? If they manage to end free speech, what then?
TNI ended Marianne Klowak’s career. On the Trish Wood is Critical podcast (episode 159), Klowak said, “A number of stories that I put forward were blocked…it seemed to me as a journalist who’d been there 34 years, it’s like the rules had changed so quickly that it left me dizzy.” A scrupulous and trusted reporter, Klowak “had a show all put together about the vaccine injured, with interviewed experts who said the vaccine was a problem, and the CBC brass killed it. I took my concerns to the managing editor and senior executives but they didn’t care. Worse, CBC took the stance that anybody saying the vaccines were a problem was lying.”
Before Trish Wood retired, she hosted The Fifth Estate and did award-winning investigative reporting for over 20 years. Talking with veteran reporter Rodney Palmer (episode 158), Wood said, “This generation of new journalists aren’t trained to think outside the box. It’s not in a real journalist’s DNA to promote anything as ‘safe and effective’. The media no longer report fairly on things that require debate.”
Palmer was less diplomatic: “I had to stop listening to the CBC. I got a sore throat from screaming at the radio while I was alone in my car, because I know things to be true and they were saying the opposite and it was bloody dangerous! What we’re hearing is propaganda and false messaging on behalf of the government.”
They dig for facts and get the truth; they do so because they have our backs; they take no money from corporations or government; and they’re funded by the people.
SAM COOPER
@scoopercooper on X
You may know him from his many years reporting for the Province and Sun newspapers in Vancouver, then his years at Global TV. In 2023 he became an independent and opened The Bureau.
“Sam Cooper is an award-winning investigative journalist and best-selling author, who has presented his anti-corruption findings to Canadian law enforcement agencies, officials in the Pentagon, financial and legal professionals, and academics.”
Over 30K Substack subscribers and many more followers.
Sam Cooper: They’re not looking at the banks. And they’re basically wrong?
Senior U.S. Expert: The issue isn’t a lack of skill—there are tremendously capable investigators in the RCMP. The problem is they don’t have the legal tools to back them up. For example, if I seize a drug lab, I’m required to immediately disclose the evidence. That exposes our trade craft. Once the network knows it’s being investigated, we can’t pursue them effectively anymore. So, in effect, the laws are protecting these criminal groups. That’s why they’re expanding—they’re not going away.
Sam Cooper: And that’s why they’re bigger in Canada.
Senior U.S. Expert: Exactly. And this is a critical point I want to make. As the U.S. tightens control over the southwest border and ramps up efforts against cartels in Mexico, what do you think happens in Canada? Who becomes the supplier?
James Corbett can teach you everything you need to know about everything. There are many excellent independent investigative journalists but he’s the one everyone should know about and visit often. He’s been at it for over 25 years, winning awards, writing, directing, hosting, and producing hundreds of podcasts and many excellent long-form documentaries. In every video he makes, he includes a list of primary source links so people can verify for themselves the truth in what he’s saying. He’s a brilliant humanist with a scrupulous ethical core. He brings a clear heart and temperate passions to the darkest subjects; his light touch, often laced with levity and wit, makes the hard truths easier to bear.
…hosted CBC’s Fifth Estate for a decade; she credits the CBC of yore with teaching her to be a great investigative journalist, which she’s been for over 35 years.
But the award-winning investigative journalist left the Mothercorp when its standards deteriorated and she couldn’t see herself being there anymore. Her excoriating criticism: “We don’t have media. The CBC is now evil. They’re populated with the left-wing that hates populism, they hate the Conservatives, they hate religion. The CBC was captured by extreme Wokeism really early on. They wouldn’t have jobs anywhere else so they are all in to drink—and force the rest of us to drink—the KoolAid. They are not reflecting what Canadians are thinking or need to be talking about. They hate the working class as much as the bureaucrats in Ottawa hate the working class. They think the working class are dirty, smelly racists and we need to get rid of all of them. The media caters to people’s biases because it’s more financially expedient to do so.”
Now a successful independent, Wood shares her wealth of experience and wisdom—in that mellifluous voice of hers you can listen to all day—with over 15K subscribers, and many more followers, on her podcast Trish Wood is Critical.
…has a brain and memory like an entire set of encyclopedias. Listening to her speak is a privilege; that she works so assiduously on behalf of humanity is a blessing to us all in these darkening days.
A sample of the way her comprehensive knowledge leads to confident, accurate assessments and on-the-nose predictions:
“Mark Carney isn’t stepping into power to protect Canadian sovereignty, he’s here to dissolve it. This is not an elected leader with a mandate from the people, this is a banker groomed by global institutions, positioned at the helm of the most powerful central banks in the West and now parachuted into Canada’s top office in the middle of an engineered crisis.
Carney was governor of the bank of Canada during the 2008 crash, then he was handed the top job at the bank of England becoming the first non-Brit to hold that position in over three centuries. That wasn’t a promotion, that was placement… a signal to the global financial elite that Carney wasn’t just one of them, he was ready for the next phase of the project and that project is global governance…technocratic control. A world where countries exist in name but real decisions are made by unelected bureaucrats, asset managers and central banks.
Carney has never hidden his loyalties. He’s a key figure within the World Economic Forum, a trusted Architect of Klaus Schwab’s “Great-Reset”. He doesn’t just support stakeholder capitalism, he helped design its playbook. He spent the last several years preparing the framework for an economic transition that replaces national interest with global compliance, freedom with surveillance and sovereignty with dependency.
Carney’s language is the same coded language used by every WEF loyalist…Sustainability, resilience, inclusion and climate finance. But decode that language and the reality is much darker. What they call climate finance is the commodification of nature. Turning forests, oceans, carbon footprints and even your personal behaviour into financial instruments to be tracked, traded and controlled. It’s not about protecting the environment, it’s about creating a new asset class for the elite, and once human behaviour becomes an asset it can also become a liability… something to be taxed, fined and even restricted. This is Carney’s real vision for Canada. NOT protection from Trump but deeper integration into a technocratic system designed in Davos and enforced through digital change.
He is a leading proponent of central bank digital currency (CBDC’s) which are being marketed as efficient and modern but are in fact tools of unprecedented control. Programmable money means conditional money. Money that can be restricted based on who you are, where you are, what you say or how you behave. Pair that with digital ID Systems, bio-metric tracking and algorithmic decision making and the result is a digital prison where your ability to participate in society depends on your willingness to comply with the demands of unelected global institutions.
This is not a conspiracy theory. This is his openly admitted policy. Carney has published it, the WEF has published it, the International Settlements has published it. What they need now is public consent or at the very least public submission.”

Neil Oliver, who many will know as the Coast Guy from former TV series and documentaries. A former practising archaeologist and show host, Oliver became a full-time citizen activist during COVID when he started connecting the dots of extreme corruption, lies and advancing tyranny. Like so many millions of us, the COVID scamdemic sent him down the rabbit hole where he discovered just how corrupt things are. He chronicles, step by step, that process, and he’s become much, much more than a TV host, he’s a beacon of light, a soul warrior. His new understanding of reality unfolds for himself in real time, as it does for his more than 325K followers. And he tells a great yarn while doing so.
Her personal story is riveting; a heavy weight in the financial world of the west, one of the few women inside the boys club with significant power and a front seat for decades—until she saw the depth of corruption and problems. When she could no longer support the fallacies of the boys club she became a whistleblower. For that betrayal she was persecuted for 11 years—but she survived. Assisted by the strength of her religious beliefs she hung onto her optimism and joy in life and now runs Solari, a successful business which situates money inside an ethical, holistic framework.
Wikipedia: “Catherine Austin Fitts is an American investment banker and former public official who served as managing director of Dillon, Read & Co. and, during the Presidency of George H.W. Bush, as United States Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing. Fitts has researched and commented on government spending. In a 2004 study published in World Affairs: The Journal of International Issues, she purported to find “evidence that a very large proportion of the nation’s wealth is being illegally diverted since several decades into secret, unaccountable channels and programmes with unspecified purposes, including covert operations and subversions abroad and clandestine military R&D at home. Public institutions have been infiltrated and taken over by shadowy groups in the service of powerful private and vested interests, often at the expense of the common good.”
She works tirelessly to warn about CBDC, digital IDs and programmable money.
The sum of the parts: when you add them all up, watch a bit here and there through your week, you end up being fairly well-informed, with facts at your fingertips and the ability to speak calmly and intelligently on many subjects.
So many more citizen journalists could be showcased here. Feel free to add your favourites in the comments.
Meet Maggie Hope Braun, the woman who’s transforming one local council at a time by exposing the global climate agenda infiltrating our Canadian towns and sucking millions of dollars out of fiscal budgets.
KICLEI stands for “Kicking the International Council Out of Environmental Initiatives”
Here’s a brief sample of what Kiclei offers, which they provide for free and by donation:
📌 Why are local governments quietly adopting global programs?
📌 What’s the hidden cost of “net-zero” at the municipal level?
📌 How can YOU get involved—and win?
Education. When councils are asked to spend millions on initiatives that reduce, say, 400 tonnes of CO2 annually, the public deserves context.
Here’s what 400 tonnes of CO₂ represents:
– 0.000069% of Canada’s annual emission
– 0.0000011% of global human emissions
– 0.000000019% of total CO₂ in Earth’s atmosphere
In other words: a drop in a vast atmospheric ocean.
Advocacy. We provide the tools, reports, and strategy to help you organize effectively and guide your municipality toward locally-driven solutions—without ICLEI, FCM pressure, or global policy frameworks. Lots of resources at kiclei.ca
