Thousands rally in downtown Montreal to protest Quebec mask rules
[And in other widely under-reported rallies in Toronto, & Vancouver & elsewhere Canadian freedom fighters are saying: NO COMPULSORY MASKS, NO NEW POLICE STATE” NORMAL & END THE LOCKDOWN NOW!]
[Broad spectrum of motivations and ideologies present; few wore masks

Thousands
of demonstrators marched through downtown Montreal Saturday to protest
against the Quebec government’s mandatory mask regulations.
The
protesters — the vast majority of whom did not wear masks — carried
signs and wore t-shirts indicating a variety of motivations and
ideologies in opposition to face coverings.
Some demanded
freedom, some were critical of the Coalition Avenir Québec government,
Premier François Legault or public health director Dr. Horacio Arruda,
and others espoused various theories about COVID-19 and U.S. politics.
“I find it illogical,” said Nathalie Warren, who travelled from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. for the protest.
“Say
we go into a restaurant,” she said. “We walk in wearing a mask,
because, what, COVID is there? Then we sit down and we can take the
masks off because, what, the COVID is gone?”
“We
want our liberty. We want the right to say yes to a vaccine. We want
the right to decide. It’s our life, it’s our bodies, it’s up to us,”
said Warren.
“I’m not OK with children going to school wearing
masks, and physical distancing,” said Irène Sarmiento. “It makes no
sense. The children aren’t to blame. The population is being abused.”

There were frequent spontaneous chants of “liberté”
as the march wound from the main gates of McGill University on
Sherbrooke Street to the CBC/Radio-Canada building on René-Lévesque
Boulevard. Montreal police surveyed the event from motorcycles and
bicycles.
At previous anti-mask protests in the province over
the last month or so, demonstrators argued that mandatory mask rules are
not fair and that the threat of COVID-19 is not as serious as is being
reported.
On Saturday, some people made a show of embracing each other or exchanging double-cheek kisses.
In
the past, the Quebec government has said that people are allowed to
protest. On July 27, responding to protests the previous weekend, Deputy
Premier Geneviève Guilbault said there would be “consequences” if there
continued to be incidents where people “transgress the rules of public
health.”
“It has nothing to do with taking away anyone’s right
to protest or express themselves,” Guilbault said. “It’s obvious that
anybody can protest. But nobody has the right to put anyone else’s
health in danger.”
Melbourne, that glorious city in the state of Victoria in Australia, granted me some of the best travel days of my life during two separate trips each lasting a full week.
A happy, civilized, highly educated people are here living amidst modern architecture, inspiring bridges, and natural beauty, a place where even the police are kind, and when you ask them for directions they reply with a smile, and when you say thank you, they say “No worries.” Now there are big worries in Melbourne.
The Premier has imposed a vicious police state without precedent in this country’s history. His name is Dan Andrews (a sweet-sounding name that masks the tyrant he has become), and he tweets out pictures of empty streets to brag about what he has achieved in the name of suppressing a virus.
Tacitus’s line about the Roman empire comes to mind: “Where they make a desert, they call it peace.”
Australia is the only country in the world that has a law that people can’t be mean to each other. Now it is host to one of the world’s meanest governments.
The catastrophe began with a spring lockdown before there were any cases of C-19 and much fewer deaths. The ethos in Australia was one of extreme exclusion and suppression of the virus, not as bad as New Zealand but pretty bad. The rest of the world can catch this disease, but Australia would use its geographical isolation and political intelligence to ban the virus. The virus will be in awe and know to stay away forever.
It’s not a good theory because that’s not how viruses work. Still, it seemed to work, at first. That’s because the virus had yet to arrive. When the virus did arrive, the futility of the suppression strategy was revealed.
Melbourne had set up quarantine hotels for people arriving from abroad or returning from cruises. They would spend 14 days in isolation to purge themselves of possible infection. Then all would be okay. There was a problem: the wily virus escaped.
As a result, a nation’s pride in having suppressed the virus turned to panic and full lockdown. Internal borders are sealed. And Melbourne has become a living hell, not because of the virus (which is still mild) but because of the unleashing of a hellish police state.
(left, a billboard in Melbourne) A friend summarized the situation for me: +Police may now enter anyone’s home without a warrant. +Curfew 8:00pm. + $1,652 fine if outside without “a valid reason” – an amount being raised by the day + Can’t visit any family or friends. $200 fine for no mask (mandatory masks at all times). +Can only exercise once per day, for up to 1 hour. +Only one person per household, per day, can leave the house (including for groceries). +Can’t go more than 3 miles from your home. +Weddings are illegal. No gatherings of any size. +Army is on the streets fining/arresting people. +”Since March 21, a total of 193,740 spot checks have been conducted by police across Victoria.” + Protests/activism is illegal; people have already been arrested for peaceful gatherings. +Media
is EXTREMELY biased, calls protesters “right-wing conspiracy nutjobs”
and won’t allow discussion of whether these lockdowns are right or not. +Several
thousand people were placed under house arrest and unable to leave for
ANY reason, with food rations delivered by the army, leading to
appalling levels of personal trauma. +Australia won’t release how many fines they’ve given out, but an ABC news report says it’s over $5.2 million so far. +Streets
of Melbourne are empty, even in a city of 5 million+ people. People are
HATEFUL to each other, everyone is cannibalizing their neighbours
(calling police to report any little infraction of the rules and turning
on each other like some socialist hellhole). +Billboards
outside on the street that say in capital letters: “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
STAY HOME.” They feel extremely oppressive like we’re being yelled at
by a very oppressive government. +The
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews shows complete and utter disdain for
us, constantly blaming us. He’s blamed children (yes, really) for not
taking this seriously enough. Every chance he gets, he tells us it’s OUR
fault the virus is spreading (even though that’s what viruses do – they
spread).
+It’s not just the Victorian Premier – the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, left, is just as terrible. He’s encouraged all of this, and he was responsible for the first lockdown. +1984 dystopian language: billboards everywhere saying “Staying apart keeps us together.” +Have they gone mad? There’s probably more but at this point, I honestly lost track of all the insanity that’s happened. All because 147 people died in the state of Victoria (total population is 6.359 million), almost all of the deaths are over 70 with comorbidities, same as everywhere else in the world. +This is lockdown ideology at work. It is a tyranny without limit, at the expense of all human dignity, decency, and rights. The politicians make a desert and call it health.
Like everywhere else on the planet, Melbourne will have to reach herd immunity from C-19 at some point. Those who deny that are risking not only liberty and health but civilization itself.
Perhaps the other states in Australia will observe the destruction in Victoria and learn to take another path when the virus first arrives in their territory, as it surely will. Lockdowns are not science; they are brutality. I cry for the once-great city of Melbourne this day. May there be justice. And may its future political leadership be granted some modicum of decency and wisdom.
Academic freedom under threat as pro-Brexit professors face discrimination and are self-censoring
Think
tank releases a report claiming universities and the Government must do
much more to ensure that all lawful speech is protectedByGabriella Swerling, SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS EDITOR3 August 2020 • 12:01am
Pro-Brexit
and right-wing professors face discrimination and are self censoring, a
think tank has warned, amid fears that academic freedom is under
threat.
The
Policy Exchange think tank has released a report claiming that higher
education institutions and the Government must do much more to ensure
that all lawful speech is protected on university campuses across the
country.
The
paper, entitled Academic freedom in the UK, suggests there is a
“structural discriminatory effect” against the minority of academics at
British universities who identify as being on the right.
Researchers warned that: “Hostile or just uncomfortable attitudes signal to those subject to such discrimination that they should conceal their views and narrow their research questions to conform to prevailing norms, if they wish to progress and enjoy a positive workplace experience,” it warns.Ad
A
YouGov poll, of 820 both current and former academics, found more than
one in seven said there was a hostile climate towards people with their
political beliefs in their department – but the figure is higher among
those who identify as being right-leaning, or among those who voted to
leave the EU.
Just
over half of respondents said they would feel comfortable sitting with a
colleague who is a Leave supporter at lunch, in a meeting or in the
staff room.
Meanwhile,
more than a third said they would feel comfortable sitting with a
colleague who opposes admitting transwomen to women’s refuge centres.
But
more than four in five said they believed academics who were pro-Remain
would feel comfortable expressing their views to colleagues, the poll
found.
The
report suggests that right-leaning academics are more likely to choose
to “self-censor” compared to colleagues who are centrists or on the
left.
Some
pro-Leave social sciences and humanities academics said they had
refrained from publishing or airing views in research and teaching for
“fear of consequences” to their careers, according to the think tank
paper.
It
warns: “The challenge today is that a serious threat to academic
freedom may now, in addition, arise from within universities.
“This
internal threat derives from the way that some in the university-both
students and faculty members-relate to others on campus, being willing
to penalise them on the basis of their perceived or actual political
views.”
In
a foreword to the report, Ruth Smeeth, former Labour MP and chief
executive of Index on Censorship, says: “It does the country no good if
our educators, our academics, our scholars and, most importantly, our
students feel that they can’t speak or engage without fear of
retribution.”
The
report calls on the Government to make it explicit in law that
universities have a direct duty to protect academic freedom and freedom
of speech.
It
adds that a “Director for Academic Freedom” should be created as part
of the Office for Students (OfS) to investigate claims that freedom of
speech have been violated, and to promote tolerance for viewpoint
diversity in the sector.
Universities
minister Michelle Donelan said: “University leaders must do much more
to champion freedom of speech, and this Government is committed to
bringing forward measures to strengthen free speech and academic
freedom, potentially including legislation.”
She
added: “It is deeply concerning the extent to which students and
academics with mainstream views are being silenced and discriminated
against in our universities.”
But
Jo Grady, general secretary of University and College Union (UCU),
dismissed the findings of the think tank’s report. She said: “The idea
that academic freedom is under threat is a myth.
“The
main concern our members express is not with think tank-inspired
bogeyman, but with the current Government’s wish to police what can and
cannot be taught at university.”
The
OfS said it is planning to issue guidance on how universities can meet
principles relating to academic freedom and free speech in the autumn.
Responding
to the report, a Universities UK (UUK) spokesman said: “Academic
freedom and freedom of speech are critical to the success of UK higher
education and universities take seriously their legal obligations on
both.
“Robustly protecting these characteristics in a constantly evolving world is of the utmost importance to universities.”
Telegraph
Universities could be required to fund security for controversial speakers to protect free speech, warns minister
Robert Halfon, chair of the Education Select Committee, said cancellation of events for security reasons was ‘disgraceful’
All
of this is to say: information has to be taken at face value, and all
information should be examined through a critical lens by adult readers.
The social media companies are now dealing with people as though they
are children, incapable of any kind of critical analysis whatsoever. I
don’t know if people are or are not capable of critical analysis, but I
do know that the primary, foundational assumption of a universal
suffrage democracy is that every adult member of society is capable of
rational analysis and critical decision-making. That’s the most basic
claim of this system, as it justifies allowing them to vote and
determine who runs the government.
By undermining the ability of people to make rational and informed decisions, Twitter is undermining the concept of universal suffrage democracy itself. Of course, they don’t care, because our rulers do not actually believe in anything other than power. They profess various ideologies at different times, but only use these ideologies to push their agenda that exists totally independently from the ideologues.
A letter calling for the infection of END THE LOCKDOWN protesters, was published by the Castanet media in Kelowna, which has refused to cover the protests.
” I believe we need an infected person to go find this group of idiots that think the virus is fake and give all the protesters a hug.If someone has the virus please go into a protest and shake hands with every protester and hug people
.Let’s see if the protesters get sick and disappear. See if the protesters believe after they get sick.Most of us know someone who has it, had it or been tested for it.To see a protest against this horrible virus makes me sick to my stomach.
I like the idea the Germans have about a COVID party. Maybe Kelowna needs one as well but except like Germany don’t ask for volunteers, use the COVID protesters.”

Second is a detailed update on today’s awesome media rally. Awesome if only because we had a great
attendance, a beautiful day, and definitely got the media’s attention. Please see the attached pix!!!
We had approximately 30 committed supporters of freedom
on a sunny and warm summer Okanagan day, though not all of them made the pix. Our rally began as a result of an article in
Castanet (online news) from reporter Sarita Patel, in relation to our fact
brochures we handed out on the nature of the COVID-19 issue. She interviewed
the person who found the brochure, and did not contact us at all to fulfill her investigative journalistic duties.
I
contacted her, and was told by her boss that they
would not be interviewing me because they are supporting B.C. Public
Health
Minister Bonnie Henry. This because their belief and support for Ms.
Henry is not being permitted to be challenged by investigative
journalism – ie. it is a form of wilfull blindness, recklessness, and
pure corruption. As demonstrated below, anyone who simply doesn’t
believe what the gov’t tells them, is some form of conspiracy nut, and
media outlets continually claim to be supporting gov’t propaganda and
lies, without any intellectual debate on the statistics, procedures and
death counts. No one is being allowed to challenge them.
Gov’ts have grossly over reacted to what true statistics prove, is no more
dangerous than, at most, a serious strain of the flu.
Forover 99% of the people who catch the
virus, it is not life threatening. Focus
should be on those most at risk, not shutting down our entire society and forcing
everyone to live in fear and paranoia.
Four Canadian epdemiologists in the National Post
recently, wrote that the chances of dying from a COVID infection if you are
under 65 years of age, is 1/166 666, or the same as being hit by a car. We have so many facts in relation to this
issue, as well as on the masks and social distancing issues, that it is becoming
hard to know where to start analyzing them all.
What has been done is nothing less than a criminal
misrepresentation of the seriousness of this virus, by our governments. This information on our position is critical
to understanding what happened in the local Castanet Letters column, which I
will explain shortly below.
Moreover, it is not merely the absence of
investigative reporting by these gov’t propaganda media outlets that is
worrisome, it is their repetitive labelling and derogatory allegations being
made against us, without even providing us the opportunity to provide them intelligent rebuttal. One could say it is, or borders on the line of slander, defamation or
libel – as well as deception/fraud. And of course, if prevents the truth of our cause from becoming mainstream
and the public living with lack of knowledge and in abstract and unnecessary fear.
As a result, of this ongoing misrepresentation by
the MSM in B.C. and in Canada, our group here in Kelowna made the bold and
unprecedented decision to hold a rally in front all local media outlets here in
Kelowna today, to voice our concerns over the substance of their reporting as
well as their refusal to hear us.
Our first stop was the Kelowna Daily Courier. We
were met within minutes by 4-5 staff outside all taking pictures of us and our
signs. I met with Mr. Ross Freake who was standing in for news reporters who
are on holidays. Mr. Freake was colourfully respectful to us/me in our brief discussions, and advised me that he would
contact the reporter on Thursday or Friday, and get back to me.
A woman official also sought answers to her
questions. Upon satisfying her queries,
she advised me that she was going to contact the publisher in relation to our
position on COVID-19, mask and social distancing. She was pleasant, appeared concerned on the issues I raised, non-abusive and
polite.
Contrary to their word, the very next day (Thursday) the Kelowna Courier printed
this article on the front page of their newspaper today, titled: “Virus-doubting
protesters picket Kelowna media outlets”.
This exact same article was also printed
in the Penticton Herald, with a different title: “COVID conspiracy theorists
picket media outlets in Kelowna”, with the following endnote:
“EDITOR’S NOTE: The
Herald stands by its coverage on COVID-19 and stories by other news agencies
that we have published. We 100% support the scientific and medical research
presented by Dr. Bonnie Henry, Dr. Theresa Tam and Dr. Anthony Fauci”
Mr. Freake promised me that they would not do an
article without seeking our opinion on the matter. He agreed with me that writing a story from only
one point of view, is pure propaganda. It
is obvious that the word of a media representative is about as reliable as that
of a politician. Almost.
We were unable to locate the CTV location. I had an address from the net that appeared
to be incorrect. I could not locate a
phone number. People in other buildings refused to assist. So, we moved on to Castanet.
Within minutes of our arrival, a super-charged
angry man came out of the building specifically asking for “Dave”. I introduced
myself, upon which he demanded to know why we were there. I professionally informed him that it was the
article in his news service that started this by having a report published with
incorrect information about us and refusing to permit us to correct the erroneous
allegations or provide the facts that we rely upon.
Further discussions ensued, where I informed him
that a Castanet official reneged on her word to me that we could publish a
small article/ad in the paper for our rallies as well, and then reneged on her word
on the advice of a superior.
This official, who refused to introduce himself,
was extremely angry, belligerent and made every attempt to provoke our group
into a confrontation. Fortunately, this
did not occur. His claim of calling the
police and that they were on there way, was an absolute lie, and no police
showed up at all. In fact, a police car even drove by and continued right past
us without stopping.
Shortly thereafter, a local radio station official
arrived and requested an interview. As
per usual, he had no business cards. However, he was professional and respectful in his questions and demeanour. I was allowed to fully answer all his
questions without interruption and his questions were not deceptive or
inflammatory.
As with the Courier, I told him politely that I
wanted an interview with his morning DJ and he said he would raise it on
Thursday morning with him and contact me again Thursday or Friday. As of
this writing, I have received no calls from this man and it appears that he is
following the same trustworthiness of other “professional” journalists. Then
it was off to Global News.
As you can see from the above article, the Castanet
official claims that we were going to other media outlets, and I suspect he
called them in advance. Upon arrival at Global, entrance was denied and communication
was only by speaker phone. I was told all news room were out on assignment,
until an unknown time. Unsurprisingly. I left some of our materials with them and
after ½ hour we left to the CBC.
No one answered the locked door, nor the
buzzer. Phone calls were routed to news
reporters who did not answer and went to voice mail. We remained here for ½ hour
and then ended our rally back at Stuart Park.
So, it was an eventful day and we most definitely
caught the attention of most if not all the local media here.
Unfortunately, it appears that this attention was merely that of role
playing. Every media outlet’s news reporters were conveniently
unavailable. This is no coincidence. They simply do not wish to
discuss facts, but to promulgate lies and outright deception.
All
group members were adamant that if the media
continues to ignore us, and/or publish incorrect or misleading
information
about us, we will be back better and stronger!! It appears that come
September, we will be back at their doorsteps with even more people.
Fraud lurks in silence – we will expose them.
I hope this will set a precedent for other
communities to protest their local and national medial outlets in their
communities, who are failing or refusing to do proper investigative journalism,
and are simply propaganda arms of our governments.
The most important advice I can give anyone in so
doing, is to have your position supported by facts. Know in advance how your province is misleading
everyone with falsified stats. Timelines
are critical – why are all these masks impositions occurring now when there are
virtually no deaths? BC has had almost 100
cases of COVID and no deaths recently, yet are imposing mask requirements on
all buses.
These masks are nothing more than a safety blanket
for the superstitious masses, who simply want something to believe in that will
save them.
Third: our next rally is Saturday, August 8, 2020, 12:00
noon at Stuart Park in beautiful Kelowna, B.C.
We need as many people
as possible
for our rallies!
If you have been unable to make it out to previous rallies, NOW is the
time to come out!!!!
Bring at least two friends!!!
There will
be several new issues to chat about on Saturday. BC has capitulated and will be forcing masks on
public transit beginning in later August. Walmart has also decided to require masks in the stores. This likely will mean more mask requirements
in other stores. This is going to
require a massive amount of sacrifice on our part if this happens.
We cannot simultaneously wear masks while
complaining that they are unlawful.
The mask
issue is polarizing the entire country and breaking up friendships and
families.
If it comes to a
choice of freedom or friends/families, do we sacrifice our freedoms for others
who either don’t care about them or stand in fear? If this was the case, we would never have
reached this stage (prior to COVID-19) to begin with. Strategy will play an important role for us
to discuss.
Theresa The Communist-WHO official Tam said recently in her August 6, 2020 press release:
We must maintain our resolve and ensure our
actions are guided by the best available science and evidence. With the rise of
social media and
other digital platforms, we are consuming more information
than ever before. However, some of this information, including certain claims
about
COVID-19, is false or misleading.
In our fight against COVID-19, we need to do
our part to stop the spread of misinformation. When we come across new
information, we need to
think critically about it, check it against credible sources
and not share it further if there is any doubt as to its validity.
Once we have confirmed our sources of
factual information, we need to use it to avoid labelling as much as
possible. It is one thing to be called
names
when someone has no information to support their position, it is quite another
to be called those same names when we do have supporting
facts, but they choose
to ignore them. That is when we can go on the offensive. Facts = credibility.
In an article in the Vancouver Sun, Health Minister had this
ominous quote attributed to him:
“As we approach our B.C. Day long weekend, let’s acknowledge right
now that it can’t be like any B.C. Day long weekend we’ve ever
had. This is our first B.C. Day celebration in our B.C. new
normal.”
“Use ‘COVID sense’ to stop the spread and stay safe”
Van. Sun July 27, 2020 p. A11
Reading between the lines provides a frightening look into the future:
there will be many more B.C. Day long weekends under similar circumstances as
we see now, ie: this is permanent and will never end.
We cannot permit this to happen. Which leads directly to the real
new normal that WE will practice.
The Real New Normal from now on, is:
Live normally and just say NO!
Do not fall into the
trap of believing that it is only because of the Gov’t’s social
distancing/masks demands that stores can now begin to slowly
open. To the contrary, it is directly because of the Gov’t’s actions that
we have sustained tens of billions of dollars in economic losses, permanent job
losses, unknown deaths and needless suffering from cancelled surgeries,
and incurred further health care costs resulting from these cancelled tests and
surgeries, and actually placed thousands of people’s health and lives at
risk. Communist PM Trudeau, Premier Horgan, Health Minister Dix, and
Public Health Officer Bonnie Henry are the true cause of these problems and
short of a public apology and immediate cancellation of the lockdown and social
distancing policies, must be voted out of office next election, or fired for
Ms. Henry. And criminally charged.
See everyone on
Saturday, August 8, 2020 12:00 noon at Stuart Park!
Remember when we were told that it would take two weeks to “flatten the curve”? Stay home, isolate from your friends and family, close your business, delay your doctor visits and surgeries, stop attending funerals. Save lives! We were told that if we did that, we would slow down the rate of people getting sick, so the hospitals wouldn’t be overwhelmed.
It’s been more than four months now.
The curve has been flattened – in fact, most hospital wards have been empty the whole time. So how did “flattening the curve” turn into unlimited rule by unelected health officials? The same health officials that jet-set around the country while telling you that you can’t leave your house. Click here to watch what I have to say about that.
This virus has been no worse than the annual flu season in terms of the death toll. It’s done now. But that’s not enough. Now we’re being told to wear masks everywhere we go and to continue distancing ourselves until a rushed, made in China vaccine, is developed – and that this could take another 2-3 years. This is politics, not medicine.
They love their power over you, and they won’t let go. And other than Rebel News, who is telling the other side of the story? Yours truly, Ezra Levant

See
everyone on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 9:00 a.m., at Stuart Park –
for our first Media Rally!
We need as many people
as possible
for this all too important media rally!
If you have been unable to make it out to previous rallies, NOW is the
time to come out!!!! Everyone has complained about MSM, now is YOUR chance to do something!
Bring at least two friends and forward to all your email lists!!! Our attached Media Rally Poster can go up on all FB sites too.
Hi everyone.
Previously, I raised the issue to our group of taking a ½ day during the
week to rally at several downtown local media
establishments, including the
Courier, Global News, Castanet, CBC and CTV, in response to their lack
of
fair media attention to both sides, with respect to the unfair and
almost complete denial of coverage of our opposition to the lockdown,
the restrictions of our liberties, and social re-engineering of our
society, based on falsified statistics and misrepresentation of the
seriousness of the COVID-19 virus. This is exactly what Vaccine
Choice Canada and others are doing in the Claim filed in Toronto
recently.
Response from the group was overwhelmingly positive to say the least. Now we need to show up!
There are many
negative actions taken by MSM on issues of freedom – ignoring us as much as
possible, misrepresenting our position, using footage of extremist elements and falsely
targeting everyone, or using psychological warfare by using leading comments and
questions to get answers they want from “experts” they have cherry picked
to get these answers. All methods have been
utilized against us at some point during this COVID-19 Scamdemic.
As also noted
previously, I have described more negative and inflammatory actions by the B.C.
media against us, including Castanet reporter (if I dare call her that) Sarita
Patel out of Kelowna, after she did a short interview with a woman named Grace
Anderson, a downtown retail worker who claims to be an essential services
employee, and found a brochure one of our committed freedom activists left at
her business.
Ms. Anderson bemoaned our brochure, claiming that it was false, without
of course specifying any errors, and which Ms. Patel reported in her story. No
attempt was made to email us or solicit our viewpoint on the
matter. Ms. Patel told me that they would hear my side of the story
prior to our Saturday rally by a different reporter as she was not working, but
her supervisor Colin reneged on that guarantee and refused to interview me on
the basis that he disagreed with our position.
This of course without either of them actually reading our brochure or
doing any investigative reporting, because Ms. Anderson destroyed our brochure
after taking pictures of it. Of course, Ms. Patel made no attempt to read it on
Ms. Anderson’s phone.
Previously, “Erin” at Castanet gave me her word that we could pay for an
ad on Castanet, and the only obligation was to provide the wording to her, which
she would then review for publication, for purposes of space only. Subsequently, she and her supervisor Colin,
backed out of this agreement because they didn’t approve of our beliefs in
relation to the Scamdemic known as COVID-19.
In the past, Global TV informed me that they were not doing interviews,
and subsequently did an interview minutes later with a group member, despite my
assurances that I had the statistics to support our position to give to him. Of
course, none of our supporting evidence was televised to expose the gov’t lies
on this same media network.
Other media such as the Kelowna Daily Courier, CTV, and CBC have completely
ignored us and our rallies, and refuse to advance our position (as supported by
tens of thousands of others in B.C.), on their newscasts. (And we are not the only ones – despite over
1000 people, Toronto and national MSM provided no coverage of their rallies
either).
A recent TV news interview a couple of weeks back, illustrates the
psychological component of their FAKE NEWS with the following opening CBC News
anchor’s comments:
“Why are some people reluctant
to wear a mask when health experts clearly say it is the right thing to do.”
Putting aside the facts that “health experts” are undefined and
are usually gov’t paid medical staff, and the conflicting fact that only months
ago they said wearing masks was not required (clearly medical expert gov’t
doctors are confused on the matter – the issue is not settled), this type of
wording from the start, labels us as anti-social, anti-gov’t, anti-mask, anti-everything,
and portrays US as the bad guys, and of course, no one interviewed US to get
our side of the story. But they did
interview a psychologist, Saunia Ahmad – as if she has any knowledge on the
physics and medical efficacy of masks of any kind. But no matter, she is an “expert” from
the CBC.
Individually and collectively, this has had the detrimental effect of
keeping the masses ignorant of the true underlying facts, statistics and gov’t
agendas in relation to the ongoing restrictions of our rights, liberties,
privileges and powers.
Now is the time we need
to make the MSM know that we will not continue to accept their propaganda journalism,
over investigative journalism that should be done.
Hearing only one side of a story and reporting it – is pure propaganda,
not investigative reporting.
Starting at Stuart Park at 9:00, on Wednesday August 5, 2020 we will
walk to the Kelowna Daily Courier, then to CTV, Castanet, Global News and then
CBC, and back to Stuart Park. Times for each media outlet will
vary depending on weather, and responses from each media outlet. But we will start at 9:00 a.m.
1. Kelowna
Courier 550 Doyle St.
2. CTV
Kelowna 1443 St. Paul
3. Castanet 455

4. Global

5. CBC

We have set aside Wednesday, August 5, 2020 to meet at
Stuart Park. We will then walk to each of these new media outlets
for about 30-45 minutes each. We will have several brochures and our
Fact Sheet to hand out and hopefully get an interview with at least one of
these MSM gov’t propaganda outlets. We will also have all our signs
available to get their attention.
Let’s swarm each of their offices with our presence and demand that they
hear our side of the story and to put the really damning questions to Government
officials!!
Also
attached are a couple of cases where nurses have won the right NOT to
wear masks, even as recently in BC as Dec. 2019. I only have the BC
news article not the actual agreement yet. But I am working on getting
it. I do have the Ontario arbitration board hearing attached however.
You will find the Ontario tribunal’s findings that masks don’t work at all, very informative. Starting on p. 44.
