Report from Victoria, Second Anniversary of Freedom Protests & Rocco the Impresario Not Well Received in Supreme Court of BC

Report from Victoria, Second Anniversary of Freedom Protests & Rocco the Impresario Not Well Received in Supreme Court of BC

As Frank put it so well,  re: our protests: “It’s a process, not an event”,   meaning the 27th of August marked two years of dissident voices raised at the Gates of the City, the Legislature.  About 30 of us on Belleville Street plus a couple dozen more picnicing on the lawn.    Every time we’re there,  people commend us.  We get grassroots intel. proving that the tide has turned.  It’s sinking-in on the populace that the SARS2Covid19 thing was an HOAX from the start.   Even as the headline in the pathetic excuse for a newspaper,  same day,  bleats  “Risk Rising as cases peak,”  few masks are to be seen.  Like the last days of the old Soviet Union : ordinary people know that the Central Party Line is nonsense.
 

Guys pedaling by shout out “Get a grip! Vaccines save lives, you wankers!” and “Grow up you morons!”  never stopping to dialogue. Cheap shots motivated by fear.   We haven’t seen Little Nell, the counterprotester who was exalted to celebrity status by the tv station hand-in-hand with the Times Colonist newspaper,    for months. Eighty degrees F, 200 folks on the grand lawn, horse-drawn carriages clipclopping by, all is serene …  warm and safe and prosperous.  Except for burying the bodies of those succumbing to the Quack-zeen,  the PLANdemic is over. Our regular GATHERING, once labelled by the Chief Health officer as a “superspreader”,  is a tourist attraction. Folks comfortably taking photos of themselves holding our signs indicating that the element of fear is gone. The SCAMdemic is passé.

So why are we still at it?   A newcomer asked me that.  I pointed to the statue on top of the Cenotaph.     I replied: “My grandfather went to war in that uniform in World War One.”   To which the young man interjected  “fighting for Freedom”. I said:  “No, that’s not what they thought at the time. Same with my old man in the Second World War. And my mother, a nurse in the Canadian Army. They would not have said they were fighting for freedom. They believed they were fighting for the British Empire. That’s what I was taught, too, growing up. Now I know that  ALL WARS ARE WARS FOR THE USURERS.   Those of us paying attention see The Great Reset underway. A contest for dominance as the US dollar meets its inevitable end.  For which the COVID thing is the cover story.


                 I ain’t superstitious, but a black cat crossed my trail *

At 11:30 am as I walked on the precinct from the south side I had noticed an audience of maybe 30 folks in lawn chairs,   watching what appeared to be a play being staged by junior highschool girls, on the steps of the Parliament building.  As three of them scampered up the stairs in character, all I heard was the word “sisters”.   Going by at 2:30 pm, they were still at it.   Pausing to watch, I distinctly heard the infamous phrase that the three witches chant around their cauldron. I remarked to a nice lady passing by, “do you know what’s going on here?”  She didn’t.   I said, “spell casting”

The lore around this play is so ominous, that – other than in actual performance –  people in the theatre world are careful not to say its name aloud within a theatre. When talked about at all, it’s known as  “the Scottish play”.   Where I stood that moment, within earshot of the actresses, effectively was a theatre.    Latest example of the curse: Chris Rock gettting slapped violently, within 53 seconds of speaking its title at the Academy Awards.

I am a ‘prophetic type’, yes. But I never hold myself out as predicting precise events to occur,  in the Name of God.   This my report is NOT  a prophetic utterance. Rather, I knew immediately that what was going on,  was no light thing. It portends heavy-duty trouble at the Legislature.

Many people – Christians or not – realize that this SCAMdemic is a contest in the spiritual realm, first of all.  My Christian friends say they do pray for those in government. I don’t. Part of my calling is,  the ministry of condemnation. So, I pray against that witch Bonnie Henry,  her accomplices John Horgan,  Mike Farnworth, Adrian Dix. I recite the prayers of old in Psalms, excoriating wicked officials,  asking our God to remove them.

I get a kick out of quoting what Madam Justice Rita Levine said about me in the Court of Appeal: “Mister Watson is a long-time political activist”.   I “earned my stripes” in the anti-abortion thing back 30 years ago. Which was a lesson in ‘the faith once delivered to the saints’  that you don’t get in a seminary.  To those who chide me for operating in the mindset of the church militant ,“oh that’s Old Testament stuff. We don’t go by that anymore”,  I say, ‘yeah, well read what the Apostle Paul told the Thessalonians’. 

Seeing that it is a righteous thing with God, to recompense tribulation to those who trouble you”.  

Did Paul get that part wrong? Or did he get his theology straight from Jesus, as he says elsewhere in the New Testament?

……………..

On Monday August 29th 2022,  the next step in the Action4Canada case came down.  It was not completely dismissed, as several Defendants applied-for last May.  Rather, the Claim was struck in its entirety, leaving the possibility it can be amended, but only after the Plaintiffs pony-up about 100 to 200 THOUSAND DOLLARS  in Costs. to the defendants,  in the Cause. 
Here is the URL where the ruling can be read :  So bad  it is  “embarrassing” opines Mister Justice Ross. So , no longer is criticism mere kibbitzing from guys like me, UN-learned in the law.  He spelled-out how far, far below it is, below the minimal standard of a lawyer’s  professional duty of care.   I say that much-vaunted Rocco Galati himself, ought to bear the Costs ordered against the Plaintiffs.

Socks Are Essential, A Message From Roman Babar

First it was two weeks to flatten the curve, then it was slow the spread, then stop the spread. Then stay home until we’re all vaccinated.

Then it was 70% to herd immunity, then 80%, then almost 90% wasn’t enough – we were locked down again. 

Socks were deemed not an essential item. Crayons were also not essential. We used plexiglass to stop an airborne virus. The Walmart was full, but the church was empty. 

First it was 2 doses, then 3 doses, then every 9 months and Friday NACI said every 3 months!

Enough already. No conspiracy theories, we just want to be left alone!

I will keep fighting day and night, like I have been fighting for the last two years, until government leaves you and your family alone.

I am sincerely grateful to you.

Western Univ. Students Revolt Over Mask-Vax Bullshit

Western Univ. Students Revolt Over Mask-Vax Bullshit

covid-london-western-university-students.jpg

You’ve probably heard that Western has announced their mandate for September: Three injections. And medical grade masks. There is a huge outrage about this and it’s all over the news.

by DL(henrymakow.com)

Sharing a message that was sent to me (writer to remain anonymous). Please share widely.
 It’s finally happened, Western Students have revolted and thousands are planning a protest to oppose all university mandates for students, staff, faculty unless all mandates are dropped.

 Kendra Hendrick who’s leading students4agency (Twitter #EnoughIsEnough opened account last night and now has 3000+ in one day) did this interview today:
https://tnc.news/podcasts/the-andrew-lawton-show/  it’s not long but she spoke beautifully.

 Dr. Julie P, Denis R et al’ are all rallying behind the Western students. So far hundreds have signed on to withdrawing from the university unless the vaccine & mask mandates are dropped.
. The People’s Party and Canada (PPC) & the Conservative Party of Canada both backed the students. Brescia University, a Catholic college have strongly come out in support of them.

And then, hallelujah a poll: https://westernusc.forms-db.com/view.php?id=458535 only 3 questions so please give feedback even if you’re not a student, no name or email needed.

 They initiated a “Storm the phone lines” campaign this morning and gave out the Provost, President & VPs phone numbers and emails along with all the numbers of top admin…. all top admin have locked their twitter accounts because of so much messaging. Then Brescia University, a Catholic college (governed by Western U and a Western affiliate) dropped their VX mandate this afternoon and made masking optional.

Please share this groups information with everyone in your circles.

Students at Western University, in London, Ontario, are pushing back against the mask and vaccine mandate and are getting censored online because of it. When school resumes in the fall, all students and teachers will be required to show proof of vaccination and wear masks on campus.

Students have organized a protest for Saturday, according to the Instagram account students4agency, which is using the hashtag #ENOUGHISENOUGH to protest the mandates.

“(We) will not be backing down any time soon,” reads one social media post. “We’re prepared to support alternative peaceful demonstrations in the coming weeks if necessary.”

The backlash has prompted the student government to intervene.

“The USC (University Students’ Council) is aware of students’ concerns about the recent COVID updates shared by Western University,” USC president Ethan Gardner said. “We are in the process of collecting feedback and elevating student voices to decision makers.”

However, the school’s faculty is supporting the mandates. In a statement on Wednesday, officials said “our priorities are to keep everyone safe and to minimize any disruption to teaching and learning which might result from widespread outbreaks.”

One of Western University’s affiliated campuses, Brescia University College, will not require students to wear masks or show proof of vaccination.

“Our top priority is our students’ ability to access an inclusive and empowering education,” Brescia’s president, Lauretta Frederking, wrote in an emailed statement. “As it pertains to masking, Brescia expects students to act in accordance with their personal comfort levels and specific health care needs.”

Penticton for Freedom: A Candlelight Vigil for All the Victims of the COVID Mandates, Since March, 2020 — Sunday, September 11, 7:20 PM City Hall http://cafe.nfshost.com/?p=7887

On September 11th Penticton4Freedom will host a Candlelight Vigil, in honour of all who have been impacted by the series of ‘mandates’ imposed since March 2020. We’ve chosen this date to reflect the urgency of the situation. (Dial 911 in an emergency.)

Many communities across Canada have begun hosting these events in recent months, co-sponsored by the Canada Health Alliance:  

https://canadahealthalliance.org/candlelight-vigils/

The intent is to create a respectful and inclusive space for sharing, reflecting, and connecting.

It has been more than two and a half years since the launch of COVID-19 and people across Canada are beginning to take stock of all the damage that has been done.

For many, this includes unexpected vaccine injuries (including death), job loss, economic disarray, mental illness and suicide. While the injured and damaged and their families and friends attempt to pick up the pieces, there is little acknowledgement or accommodation available for them. In many cases, there is no one to hear their stories or acknowledge and assist with the trauma and loss.

Mainstream media is not talking about this growing issue, and when those with a vaccine injury bring their problems to their doctor, they are usually tossed aside as being unrelated to the vaccine or are often attributed to anxiety. This leaves the injured in a constant state of uncertainty and distress, feeling afraid to make their claims public for fear of humiliation.

Canada Health Alliance, in collaboration with Vaccine Choice Canada and a growing network of other organizations, is joining together to acknowledge these silenced victims through a series of Candlelight Vigils. Communities all across Canada are stepping forward to assist in the healing process, where all those who have been hurt, marginalized and discredited can share their story and find support.

Everyone is encouraged to share their personal stories and photographs on social media using the hashtags #tellyourstory and #bringlighttodarkness. Those who were injured by the COVID vaccine or harmed by the public health mandates can tell their stories at https://canadahealthalliance.org/tellyourstory .

WHERE: Penticton City Hall 171 Main St

WHEN: Sunday, September 11, 7:20 PM

WHAT: Bring a candle (we will provide some), your and/or a loved one’s story, a photo, or flowers (we would love to leave them on the steps to create impact). Bring a chair if you need one. If you are not able to read your story, that is okay. If you want us to read on your behalf, please connect with us.

ACTION: Let’s get 50 people gathered!!! Share this message with 2 others. Show up!!

How to Make Your Submission to the Rouleau Commission Investigating Trudeau’s Invocation of Rights Stealing (stolen/frozen bank, trucks seized, peaceful protest smashed) “Emergencies Act”


I want to give you an important update about the Emergencies Act inquiry and some information about how you can personally contribute to the inquiry and hold the government to account.

The use of the Emergencies Act was illegal, and the Canadian Constitution Foundation is fighting it in court. We are also participating in an independent inquiry – the Rouleau Commission – that is looking into the government’s use of this law.

The Rouleau Commission is now accepting comments from the public – that means YOU can send the inquiry a public comment about your experience and reaction with the 2022 Freedom Convoy and the government’s illegal and unconstitutional use of the Emergencies Act.

Your comment may be quoted in the hearings, or in the Commission’s final report. It is imperative that the Commission hear from members of the public and understand the full impact on citizens of the federal government’s illegal and unconstitutional use of the Emergencies Act.

This is an important way for your voice to matter. There are many untold stories related to the Freedom Convoy. Much of the reporting of the protests was disconnected to the experience of participants and observers who were on the ground at these protests in early 2022. These public comments are now an opportunity for those stories to be told as a part of the Inquiry.

Your comment can be submitted by email to perspectives@poec-cedu.gc.ca.
It can also be submitted by mail to:   Public Order Emergency Commission
c/o Main Floor Security Desk
90 Sparks Street
Ottawa, ON K1A 0A3  

Before you send in a public comment, I want to give you style suggestions, the background facts you need to know, some key messages and questions you may want to consider answering, and of course, the technical details of how and when to send in your submission. I can’t wait to tell you all about it.
I want to start by saying this inquiry is NOT the government. It is an independent and non-partisan commission chaired by a very respected court of appeal judge and staffed by experienced lawyers. This inquiry was not called out of the kindness of the Prime Minister’s heart – it is required by law. I think if it was not required by law, it almost certainly would not be taking place. So my first piece of style advice is to remember that your comments are NOT being sent to the government. They are NOT being sent to the prime minister, or to any politician. It is being sent to a judge.

So don’t use bad language. Don’t use partisan language. It won’t help. In fact, it will only undermine the credibility of your message. I want your submissions to matter. It’s too easy to dismiss a public comment that is full of angry and profane language, or that comes across as a partisan attack.

I get that a lot of you are angry – I’m angry too. But let’s channel our anger into something useful by sending in public comments that use our words to communicate the damage that the government has done by illegally using the Emergencies Act.

Remember that your submission may be referred to or quoted by the Commission either in the report or in the public hearings. Use language you would be proud to have attributed to you, even though no identifying information will be used without your express permission.

My second piece of style advice is to start by addressing your letter “To The Public Order Emergency Commission”.
Then begin your submission with your main message. Your main message could be an answer to a question. I have a list of questions you might consider answering listed in the description below. Or instead of answering a question, your main message could be your experience as a participant in the protests or an observer of the protests.

You should keep your submission between 1 and 2 pages. If your submission is really long, it may not be read as carefully. You should focus your letter on the most important things you want the commission to know.
You can also include pictures, photographs and other supporting documents, if you think that will help.

Submissions can be made anonymously. If you want to submit anonymously, it makes sense to explain why you are making that choice. For example, some professionals who participated in the protests faced consequences from their employers. There was a hack of the information about donors to the freedom convoy, and their information, including names and addresses, posted online. I do understand why someone may want to make an anonymous submission, but it is a good idea to explain why you made that choice so the Commission understands too. If you are submitting anonymously, please note your country of residence. We all remember how some media outlets accused the Freedom Convoy of being “foreign funded” – something that turned out not to be true. So make sure you say where you live to prevent those kinds of false allegations about the people sending in public comments.

Lastly, you may submit by handwritten letter by mailing to the address I’ve linked to in the description below. Just please ensure your handwriting is legible.

That’s my style advice.
But I also have advice to give you on the substance of the submissions.
To make your public comment more impactful, focus on a main message. Your main message could be your experience as a participant in the protests or an observer of the protests.

Or you could answer one, or more of these questions:   Did the Emergencies Act make you afraid to attend other protests in the future? Including protests on topics unrelated to the Freedom Convoy? Were you afraid to donate to any charities unrelated to the Freedom Convoy after the government invoked the Emergencies Act? Were you concerned that your financial information could be shared with the government if you donated to other charities?

Were you personally involved in the Freedom Convoy protests, and if so, what was your experience like? How was your experience impacted by the use of the Emergencies Act? How do you feel about the protests and about the use of the Emergencies Act. If you were not involved in the protests, what were your views as an observer or person who was affected by the protests? What were your views of the police and government response? How did the police and government response make you feel? Are there any changes you would recommend in terms of the Emergencies Act to ensure it is not abused again in the future?

What is your view on whether the strict threshold set out in the Emergencies Act was met? Has the government provided a sufficient explanation about why existing law enforcement tools were insufficient?   It is also important to remember some important facts about the Emergencies Act and its invocation when sending in a public comment.
First, emergency powers have a dark and troubled history in Canada. The Emergencies Act was enacted to replace the War Measures Act, which was abused by previous federal governments. In response to the abuse of the War Measures Act, the Emergencies Act was carefully crafted to set out a demanding set of legally binding conditions that must be satisfied before it can be invoked. Those conditions were not met in this case.

The Emergencies Act is exceptional. It gives the federal cabinet authority to create new criminal offences and police powers, without recourse to Parliament, without advance notice, and without public debate. The law poses the risk of executive overreach which could have profound effects on Canadian democracy. Because the Emergencies Act vests enormous power in the federal cabinet, it should be interpreted strictly.

The Emergencies Act can only be invoked when there are no other legal tools available to deal with an ongoing situation that is urgent, temporary and national in scope. The February 2022 Freedom Convoy protests were cleared using ordinary police powers. In the view of many civil liberties organizations, including the Canadian Constitution Foundation, the invocation of the Emergencies Act was not absolutely necessary, as the Act requires.

After invoking the Emergencies Act, the federal government brought in Economic Measures and Emergency Measures. The Economic Measures enacted under the Emergencies Act required banks to disclose private banking information to police. This amounted to a warrantless and unreasonable search of private banking information. The Emergency Measures prohibited a very broad range of conduct, including generally acceptable and legal protest behaviour, breach of which was punishable by fines and imprisonment.

The federal government has not provided an explanation for its invocation of the Emergencies Act beyond a simple declaratory statement that a public order emergency existed. The federal government is fighting the disclosure of documents that provide a record of why this law was invoked. The federal government is not acting transparently, or explaining why this law was necessary. If the federal government refuses to provide an explanation, it is reasonable to draw the conclusion that no good explanation exists.

The Rouleau Commission hearings begin on September 19, so it is best to send a public comment before that date, although they will be accepted up until October 31.

Good luck. And I hope you take part in this inquiry.
Yours truly,
Christine Van Geyn
