Court Gagged Political Prisoner Receives A Heroes Welcome Home in Medicine Hat
This news is too good not to share with you. Tamara Lich was an everyday Medicine Hat local just a little over a month ago when she departed to Ottawa.
Today, she was welcomed home as a hero. Lich was a personal political prisoner of Trudeau, held without bail for weeks in violation of her Charter rights, all to protect the ego of the most powerful man in the country.
This 5 foot 49-year-old Métis woman brought Trudeau to his knees, sent him into hiding for a week and inspired millions of freedom activists across the globe.
Tamara was the hero we all needed – and the freedom many Canadians are currently enjoying is thanks in large part to the sacrifice Tamara made. Prison is not a nice place to be, but she was hauled away by Trudeau’s agents with her head held high.
You have got to watch our exclusive video of her return here. Medicine Hat came out in force, singing the national anthem, to embrace Tamara upon her return. A real Canadian Heritage Moment that will indeed trigger Trudeau and the CBC.
The government and its media arm want us to believe them when they call Tamara a terrorist. That is why The Counter Signal exists – to fact-check the CBC and share the truth.
There is more work to do, and we are here to help. Keep fighting for what is right,
Investigations began during illegal protest’s ‘early days,’ interim chief says
CBC News · Posted: Mar 10, 2022 9:40 AM ET | Last Updated: March 10
The Ottawa Police Service has confirmed it’s been investigating a small number of officers who may have supported the so-called Freedom Convoy since the early days of the illegal occupation in the downtown core.
Interim Chief Steve Bell told CBC Radio’s Ottawa Morning Thursday the force is committed to scrutinizing the matter fully, and the investigations are ongoing.
“Yes, in early days, we started investigations into individuals who may have been involved. Those will continue. I think it’s really important to note that it’s a very, very small number,” Bell said in response to a question about alleged officer donations.
“We need to deal with the people who supported it, because there’s no room for them, but the vast majority of this organization did everything within their power, in an absolutely professional way, to remove that demonstration from our streets.”
From Bell’s wording, it’s unclear whether the investigations pertain only to possible donations, or whether any officers may have had deeper links to the protest.
At least 6 Ottawa officers in publicly leaked list
The OPP said it had launched an investigation into alleged officer donations to the convoy, but wouldn’t divulge how many officers were under scrutiny. Ottawa police, meanwhile, wouldn’t confirm whether they were investigating.
After comparing the names of donors living in Ontario to publicly accessible salary disclosure lists of police officers, CBC found roughly 60 people with potential connections to law enforcement based on information they provided to GiveSendGo.
CBC then cross-referenced the information with other publicly available sources such as postal codes, social media accounts and archived news stories, and was able to match at least 26 donors to current and former police members — six with Ottawa police and 20 with the OPP.
For some Ottawa police officers, CBC was able to further confirm their names, and at times their donation amounts, with sources within the force. CBC is not naming the officers because they have not been charged nor disciplined, and none agreed to be on the record.
Their apparent contributions ranged from $50 to more than $1,000 each, and often accompanied a comment.

MEETING PLACE FOR PENTICTON SUPPORTERS
Saturday, March 12 – Meet at 11:30 to show your support for the convoy at the end of the Parkway Channel. There is lots of parking there immediately west of the bridge. With gas prices climbing, it’s a good place to make new friends, CARPOOL and share the trip costs. If you have ever tubed the channel, you’ll recognize that this is where you get off the rafts. We’ll park there and cheer on the convoy as it goes by, then any who wishes can join the convoy at the end of the line.
Those who can’t make it to the meeting spot can still join the convoy from wherever you have an entry point directly into the shoulder lane so you can avoid having to cross lanes of traffic to join up.
Make as good an estimate as you can of when the convoy might be coming by your chosen resting spot.
Conservative MP tables Private Member’s Bill to address Political Discrimination under the Federal Human Rights Act
Ottawa, ON – Today, Garnett Genuis, Conservative Shadow Minister for International Development, spoke about his Private Member’s Bill, C-257, An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act (protecting against discrimination based on political belief).
Bill C-257 would amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to add “Political Belief” and “Political Activity” to the categories of prohibited grounds for discrimination.
Currently, there are no federal protections against discrimination on the basis of political beliefs or activity. This leaves individuals vulnerable to discrimination, threatening their rights to freedom of speech, and their freedom to be involved in the democratic process without reprisal.
“This Bill is about protecting the rights of individuals – their freedom of speech and their freedom to be involved in the democratic process without facing reprisals. But it is also about realizing the benefits that come with a free democracy and a robust civil society,” said Genuis. “Workers and all Canadians should have their rights protected and should be able to express themselves and involve themselves in the democratic process without fear of political discrimination.”
The Bill would allow exceptions for bona fide occupations regarding occupations where political partisanship or political neutrality are reasonable requirements for employment.
“Canadians must be free to express and act on their political beliefs, within the law and with the protection of the law. They should not face intimidation or discrimination while doing so, by either governments or private employers,” said Genuis. (Press Release from Conservative Party of Canada, March 7, 2022)
This is a positive initiative. Let’s hope that it comes up for second reading. In these vindictive times, such protection would be a positive assist for freedom. The Canadian Human Rights Act covers the federal government, Crown corporations and federally regulated industries like the CBC, rail and train travel.
Freedom Newspaper DRUTHERS’ Bank Account Stolen/Frozen By BMO & the Gov’t
Druthers Main Bank Account Still Frozen A big question many have been asking is in regards to our BMO bank account. Yes, our account is still frozen and has been since the day the Emergencies Act was invoked (February 14, 2022). Despite the Emergencies Act being revoked 9 days later and officials stating accounts would be unfrozen, this has not happened for us yet.
We are told the account is still being ‘investigated’. All this came about because we were raising money to help the truckers in Ottawa. We quickly opened a new account with a different bank and all incoming funds are going into the new account which we DO have access to. And while that is helpful, (we still managed to get 250,000 copies of the March issue of Druthers printed and shipped across the country, bringing us to 4 million papers since this project began), the main account being frozen still leaves us in a bit of a pickle.

We are all concerned about the safety and stability of our bank accounts and preserving the value of our personal assets given the actions of Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government. We recognize the value of cash and investing in precious metals such as gold and silver, but most of us are unsure of the role of cypto currency in securing our assets. To help explain the basics and where the opportunities might be, we have invited a panel of experts for a National call this Thursday, March 10th at 7:00 PM EST. Join us for this very important and timely discussion about an option we should all learn more about. To register:thu.vaccinechoicecanada.com
And that’s the problem with a cashless society. As Canada’s recent police state crackdown on the Truckers Freedom Convoy proved, the government will freeze/steal dissidents’ bank accounts & the banks will eagerly collaborate.
Ontario independent MPP Randy Hillier has been suspended from Twitter on Tuesday after months of speaking out against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other public health measures. The news comes after Ottawa police recently revealed they were investigating the MPP’s Twitter activity due to comments related to the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests in the capital city.
In messages to CTV News Toronto, the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MPP said the social media platform suspended his account because he “stated the truth.”
“I erred and stated a fact which Twitter found offensive,” he said on Tuesday, adding that his comments were in regards to the court-ordered Pfizer documents released last week about deaths due to vaccination.
In a statement to CTV News Toronto, Twitter Canada confirmed that the account was permanently suspended for “violating our COVID-19 misleading information policy.”
On their website, Twitter states that they suspend accounts that violate their rules, which are meant to ensure “all people can participate in public conversations freely and safely.”
The MPP has faced backlash in the past over his comments and behaviour on social media.
In February, the Ontario legislature passed a motion that Hillier wouldn’t be recognized by the Speaker until he apologized for his conduct on social media.
The MPP has made racist and discriminatory social media statements about federal Transport Minister Omar Alghabra, and also allegedly wrote posts that were insinuating a call to violence.
In addition, while the convoy protests were being dispersed in late February, Hillier reportedly called for his followers on Twitter to “keep calling” emergency phone lines in Ottawa despite police urging people to stop.
In November last year, Hillier also apologized for a post in which he used names and photos of people who had passed away to suggest without evidence that they had died due to COVID-19 vaccination.
