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.

The vaccine passports and mandates were never based on science. They don’t prevent transmission and no one is putting others at risk. While passports and mandates are fizzing out seemingly everywhere, Canada’s rule of law is under assault by political and partisan thuggery. I will say more on Justin Trudeau below, but do not absolve Doug Ford. Last Friday, February 11, 2022, Doug declared a State of Emergency under the EMPCA. This is despite the Automotive Parts Manufacturers obtaining a Court Order to clear the Ambassador Bridge on the very same day. You may have missed it, but two days earlier, the Ford Government obtained a Court Order freezing the Truck Convoy’s donations as an “offence related property” (See @rpoconnor tweet).

What kind of democracy freezes donations by deeming them an “offence related property” retroactively? Do not let Doug Ford off the hook, from this day forward he should be known as Doug Trudeau. Despite preaching “health before small business” weeks earlier and being “in favour of vaccination” when asked if he supported the mandate for truckers, a week later, in a typical Doug Trudeau fashion, Doug did an about face. Doug now says that “it doesn’t matter if you have one shot or two shots, you can catch Covid” and “everyone is done with this” – as if we had amnesia for the last two years. Remind your friends that Doug Trudeau is the world champion of lockdowns. It’s becoming widely acknowledged that lockdowns and school closures did not save lives.

That’s why Ontario is ranked 4th in Covid deaths per million, among Canada’s 13 provinces and territories. Despite elimination of provincially mandated passports, Doug Trudeau will allow businesses and institutions the ability to continue to use passports. While the provincial directive to hospitals and post secondary institutions will likely be lifted on March 1, many hospitals, institutions and other employers will choose to maintain the mandates. We must continue to fight this 21st century segregation.

On Thursday, March 3, 2022, my Jobs & Jabs Bill is coming back to the Legislature for Second Reading. The protection afforded to unvaccinated employees by my Bill is retroactive to September 1, 2021. We must put pressure on Labour Minister, Monte McNaughton to support the Bill.

Given Doug Trudeau’s new position on vaccines, there is no reason to oppose Jobs & Jabs and everyone should be back at work. I ask that you help me in two ways: this week, please email, tag and call Monte McNaughton at 519-245-8696, to ask that he support my bill on March 3rd; and help us get numbers by emailing my Jobs & Jabs Petition to your entire network, to advocate for passage of my Bill on March 3rd. We are at over 150,000 signatures and we should grow this number to demonstrate electoral strength before June 2nd.  Onto Justin Trudeau. I have never been so sad about Canada’s democracy. The use of the Emergencies Act does not pass the smell test and certainly does not meet the conditions for the Declaration. The Act requires that the Emergency is a critical situation that: seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians; exceeds the Province of Ontario’s capacity to deal with it; AND cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada. Whether one supports the Truckers or not, forceful clearing of peaceful protestors with horses, batons and armed tactical police present, left a permanent stain on our country. The traffic disruption created on a handful of streets in front of Parliament could have been addressed without the Declaration of Emergency. Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in its existence to remove a hot tub, bouncy castles and peaceful loving Canadians because he knows that he lost on the science and arguments for mandates. He is now acting like a tough guy to save his narcissistic ego. Failing to narrow the scope of the order to freeze bank accounts left a permanent stain on Chrystia Freeland, Bill Blair and Marco Mendicino. Shame on them for threatening everyday Canadians by designating donations retroactively. I have one solace. This constitutional and cultural crisis was created by Justin and political lackeys like Doug Trudeau. Canada’s spirit, kindness and respect for the Rule of Law are greater than these two bullies. We can and will overcome these challenges. I have confidence in Canada’s and Ontario’s electoral democracy – “the people get the government they deserve”. We can restore our democracy by voting them out. My greatest wish for this Family Day is the healing of divisions between family and friends. Covid grifters and bullies taught some Canadians to fear one another. Families are needlessly broken. I invite you to watch my 50 second video, including Thursday’s statement by Dr. Isaac Bogoch, that he “doesn’t treat unvaccinated people as infected until proven otherwise – that would be unfair.” Please watch and share on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. These difficult times will pass. Wishing all of you a happy, peaceful and restful Family Day.

Always yours truly,

Independent Ontario MPP Roman Babar Runs Ads to Expose the COVID Lies, Failures & Misinformation of the Doug Ford Gov’t

Independent Ontario MPP Roman Babar Runs Ads to Expose the COVID Lies, Failures & Misinformation of the Doug Ford Gov’t

Doug Ford tried to distract Ontarians from his own failures by offering us more crumbs in a sleight of hand. Instead of allowing restrictions to expire on January 26, he extended them to January 31 and announced a “slow and cautious opening”. Doug is not fooling anymore, instead he got caught trying to save himself politically. 

By the Government’s measures, Ontario’s hospitals are in worse shape today than they were in October 2021. There is less hospital staff now than in March 2020. If Doug stuck to the illusion that we must lock down to protect hospital capacity, then he would not announce any reopening at this time. Instead, he knows where the wind is blowing and is trying to save his political career.

On Wednesday, the Minister of Health, Christine Elliott, threatened some Ontario’s Physicians for allegedly spreading vaccine misinformation. Understanding of the Covid vaccines is an evolving scientific matter. One could have been accused of misinformation by suggesting that the risk of the Astra Zeneca vaccine was too high due to the risk of blood clots before it was pulled from the market. One could have also been accused of misinformation for suggesting that that Moderna should not be offered to 18-24 year olds before it was no longer recommended by Public Health Ontario for that age group.  Threatening professionals for expressing a professional opinion is a chill on speech to be expected of dictatorial regimes. This is an unprecedented territory.

The McDonald Laurier Institute concluded that “other nations managed to maintain hospitalization and death rates at levels comparable to Canada – but without the harsh restrictions and lockdowns.” Read about it in the National Post. We must continue to persuade our friends, family and neighbours that lockdowns caused significantly more harm than any benefit.

One of the greatest harms perpetrated by the Ford Government is the cancellation of elective surgeries. Even independent clinics outside of hospitals were ordered to cancel procedures involving nurses or anesthesiologists. That is despite the fact that the doctors and nurses employed by these clinics were not redirected to hospitals. The extent of Ontario’s healthcare mismanagement as well as the human toll resulting from it is astonishing.

My Constituency Association started an ad blitz. Here is a sample of an ad you could hear on several radio stations (YouTube). It will extend our ad blitz throughout Ontario, as it is imperative that our view point is heard on mainstream media. We ask you to support the ad blitz by donating to the Roman Baber Constituency Association.

Finally, we have reason to be hopeful as several jurisdictions around the world are coming to the conclusion that we must live with Covid. Please continue to share my social media messaging and do not be afraid to speak out about the harms of lockdowns, passports, and mandates. For two years, Ontario’s pandemic response wreaked havoc on Ontarians. But more people are changing their minds and the narrative may soon come to an end.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Roman Baber

Lift the Lockdown

Lift the Lockdown
As a Canadian immigrant from the former Soviet Union, with family from Russia and Ukraine, it’s inconceivable to me that the Doug Ford Government or any Canadian Government would propose to create 21st century segregation anywhere in Canada.Over the past year all leaders agreed that vaccination is a choice. As a Western Democracy we respect bodily autonomy and the right to refuse treatment. But denying a person access or employment negates the choice and undermines informed consent.That is why regardless of our vaccination status, we must adamantly oppose any attempt by the Ford Government to bring in a certificate of vaccination. Downloading denial of access or services to businesses and institutions is also unacceptable. It’s up to Doug Ford to defend Ontarians from discrimination and segregation.I am most concerned that Doug Ford is providing the vaccination status of Ontarians to the Federal Government for purposes of the Federal Vaccine Passport and at the same time empowered local Chief Medical Officers of Health to impose their own, regional vaccination passports by a cabinet regulation adopted on August 24, 2021.

Details at https://www.ontario.ca/laws/.This afternoon the pressure is mounting on Doug Ford from all sides. We must do our part to encourage the Government to not go through with vaccine certificates. Please call the Premier’s Office at 416-325-1941 and write to him at Premier@ontario.ca.

I also encourage you to contact your Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) and demand “no vaccine certificate” for the Province of Ontario. Please find your MPP by postal code here https://voterinformationservice.elections.on.ca/.

For the last 18 months Ontarians were forced to surrender many of our Charter Rights but we must peacefully insist on the preservation of Equality and Security of a Person.Yours very truly,
Roman Baber
