Court date cancelled for so-called Truth and Reconciliation Day
Dear Friends,
I just learned that my court date (October 2, 2023) for my never ending “hate crime” case has been rescheduled to October 16, 2023, which happens to be my 56th birthday.
The reason for this rescheduling is apparently the Ontario Superior Court needs the paid day off to “reflect on the tragic legacy of the residential school system and the ways it continues to affect Indigenous Peoples in Canada. It is a day to mourn the children who did not return from residential school and to honour the survivors, their families, and the resilience of their communities.” . . https://www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/files/Sept-30-2023-Tri-Court-Announcement-ENG.pdf
So-called Truth and Reconciliation day actually falls on Saturday, September 30th, so it is unclear to me why the judges, prosecutors, court clerks, etc …. can’t reflect on Saturday on their own time, rather than Monday on the taxpayer’s time, especially when one considers their constant complaining about the court’s dreadful backlog, which is actually a serious problem.
Here is an article from two months ago on thousands of serious driving offenses being withdrawn in Toronto and across Ontario, because they can’t make it to trial in a timely manner.
It is worth noting the poor taxpayers of Ontario who work in the private sector and who are paying for these well paid civil servants to go and “reflect” about all these alleged residential school victims (or in Prime Minister Blackface’s case most likely surfing and substance abusing in Tofino), will not be getting a paid day off on October 2nd. They will be working. Advertisements Report this ad
Anyways, I was blessed to have a so-called residential school survivor named Nelson Boyer as a friend and fellow activist when I was picketing the Regina General Hospital 20 years ago. Nelson was sort of hated by his Metis settlement even back 20 years ago as he refused to be a part of the class action suit that the Tony Merchant lawfirm was initiating back then.
Nelson was Metis and was quite adament that his stay at a Catholic residential school was the reason he had a successful marriage of 50 years, a fulfilling career as a Catholic School teacher, and indeed he attributed his strong Catholic faith to his stay in the residential school. As for abuse? Beyond mild corporal punishment for serious rule breaking, Nelson didn’t see any abuse. Back 60 years ago when Nelson was a student in the Catholic residential school, corporal punishment was also common in Canada’s public schools and was not considered abuse.
Nelson by being honest and saying out loud that he was not abused and that he did not perceive himself as a victim of genocide pissed off some people in his Metis community. The Canadian government and courts were making sure there was big money to be had by claiming residential school victimhood. The narrative in the media and education establishments deliberately implicated white Christians who worked in the residential school system as the victimizers.
While no system created by humans is perfect and for certain a system like the residential school system which lasted for over a century and employed thousands of people would have attracted a few abusers, the narrative promoted by our public schools, mainstream media and indeed the Ontario Superior Court is misleading and unlike my flyer that I am charged with with a hate crime for distributing at a homosexual pride parade, I would say intentionally misleading.
The media and courts are deliberately giving an impression that native children were abducted, abused, murdered, and left in unmarked mass graves:
In Kamloops so far no mass grave has been found, though you would never know that listening to the CBC or learning at your local public school. I believe there are unmarked graves all over Canada from the residential school era. Life was harsh in the Canada of more than a century ago. Many people, native and otherwise, were poor who lived on Canada’s frontiers; the social safety nets, health care and nutrition that we take for granted today was not available back then. People died and wound up in graves with no tombstones. The little wooden crosses that a Priest or nun would put on a child’s grave more than a century ago would definitely be an unmarked grave today.
One teacher who would actually qualify as a PhD level history expert was fired by the Abbotsford School Board when he gently corrected the misconceptions of one of his students who claimed Catholic nuns, Priests and teachers were murdering native children in the residential schools. In actual fact the teacher informed his student, native and non native children died from ailments such as tuberculosis, pneumonia and influenza in the nineteenth and early twentieth century in Canada.
Many residential schools were virtually on the frontier with no doctors and no amenities that we take for granted today like hydro or running water. The fact is most of the Priests, nuns and other carers did the best they could caring for native children with the limited resources they had. The federal government at the time gave the schools a small budget to operate on and given the residential schools were dormitory style residences, respiratory infections spread easily and stuff that is easily treatable today was often fatal a hundred years ago.
The residential school narrative kind of reminds me of the narrative the Ontario Appeals Court and LGBT lobby is trying to spin at my trial. The narrative is my flyer is “hate” and homosexuals were harmed and put at risk by the words and images contained in my flyer.
It doesn’t matter that the Crown’s own infectious disease expert, Dr. Mona Loutfy, was found to be more misleading in her testimony about my flyer than the claims I made in the flyer its self. Dr. Loutfy took it upon herself to lie under oath in an effort to get me convicted of a hate crime, rather than just give unbiased evidence about the statistics and images in my flyer and let the unbiased evidence inform the courts about the accuracy of my claims of health risks related to homosexual conduct.
It doesn’t matter that the original trial judge, Robert Goldstein looked for a month and couldn’t find criminal hate speech in my flyer. It doesn’t matter that Justice Goldstein in his judgment acquitting me noted there were no calls to violence and that my flyer lacks what the Supreme Court calls the “hallmarks of hatred,” ie calls for banishment or genocide, comparing targeted group to vermin or excrement, etc……
What matters is that public disapproval of homosexual behaviour and especially inconvenient facts about higher than average rates of STIs, domestic violence, promiscuity and other maladies be silenced. The Toronto courts and Ontario Attorney General’s Office under fake conservative Doug Ford have allowed themselves to be driven by an ideological agenda that seems to be devoid of any desire to arrive at the truth about wether or not my flyer is a hate crime. The Ontario Prosecutor and Appeal Courts seem driven to acheive a conviction in my case rather than simply let the facts decide my guilt or innocence. Advertisements Report this ad
It seems to me as Canada’s leaders (politicians, judges, business elites, etc….) stray farther from the God who created them and as they turn their backs on the God who our country once acknowledged and honoured, the more they reject and even despise what is true.
“Although they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools.” Romans 1:21, 22
The fact that my flyer (written by a 20 year out of practice nurse) was found to be more truthful than a currently practicing Medical Doctor who was also an infectious disease expert and who was retained by the Prosecutor to scrutinize my flyer but discredited herself by being an advocate for the side that wants to put me in jail doesn’t matter. In theory truth should be a defense in criminal hate speech cases. In my case the truth of my flyer is being ignored and they want to bring in a homosexual “expert” for the next trial to explain how my flyer is all about hateful tropes and negative generalizations designed to create an environment where hatred and discrimination can flourish. In my view the Crown Prosecutor has no interest in knowing what my actual (not hard to determine) motivations for distributing the flyer in the Toronto homosexual pride parade are.
Michael Higgins treatment for teaching honest history rather than distorted leftist race baiting in not dissimilar. History, reasearch, and truth its self was on Mr. Higgin’s side, but he was fired from his job as a history teacher anyways. The people in power over Mr. Higgins career preferred the leftist narrative and untruths about Canada’s residential schools legacy over historical accuracy and an honest examination of Christian run residential schools.

Interestingly those on the far left who wish to criminalize my speech are working to criminalize Michael Higgins speech as well. Radical native, pro-abortion, and self described pro-trans activist NDP Member of Parliament Leah Gazan wants to amend Section 319 (the section I am charged under) of the Criminal Code to add “residential school denialism” to the code and make it a so-called hate crime. Quite disturbingly Trudeau’s Justice Minister David Lametti has indicated he is open to adding “residential school denialism” to Canada’s criminal code. This means historians like Michael Higgins who push back against a politically correct but unbalanced narrative, might not only find themselves out of a job, but also becoming the cell partner of Bill Whatcott who also pushed back against a damaging agenda bolstered and propagated by numerous untrue but seemingly unassailable assumptions.
As the left seizes control of the courts and legislatures of our land the narrative has become more important than the truth. And sadly the time honoured principle of the truth being a defense is ceasing to be something that those who are being prosecuted for speaking the inconvenient truth can count on for their exoneration. For a judicial or political system to be credible, it must desire truth and enshrine truth as a defense. Increasingly, Canada’s political and legal systems are lacking credibility.
“So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” John 18:

While Pastor Artur maintains his innocence, with plans to appeal his conviction, he felt Justice Gordon Krinke delivered a fair sentence which credited time-served in pre-trial custody allowing him to walk out of the courtroom a free man.Pastor Artur is coming out of this stronger then ever, determined to continue to expose evil, seek justice, love mercy, feed the homeless, serve his community, and to work at the political level to protect faith, family and freedom.We want to thank all those who responded to the Call to Action in July and signed the petition to support Pastor Artur, the Independent media for getting his story out there, and to everyone who prayed for him and his family through this trying time.
Though we rejoice that Pastor Artur is once again home with his family and free to continue serving the marginalized populations in his community, we continue to look to the true Just Judge, our Lord Jesus Christ, for the complete victory over the injustice in our land.We give God all the glory for sustaining Pastor Artur and for this positive outcome.A Powerful and Compelling Speech“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right,free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country.

Falsified assault charge
Kelowna Courthouse
R v David Lindsay s. 266 Criminal Code Assault
Court trial update:
Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023
I have always been a stickler for details. I hope you appreciate the details set out below to give you a clear picture of what is happening in this case, especially as it has been a while since I have had the time to send out an email with these updates.
At the previous trial dates in May, 2023, dates were reserved for Dec. 13, 14 for final submissions. Judge Heinrichs apparently wasn’t all too happy with that, and in June, arranged to set one further date for Sept. 12.
I was required to begin submissions. The first issue was judicial bias. The Crown and even its own witnesses controlled this Judge from the very beginning of the trial. I would ask questions, and the Crown would answer instead of the Judge. Witnesses would refuse to answer legitimate questions, and the Judge would refuse to compel them to do so. The Crown, Mr. Grabavac, repeatedly insisted to the Judge that there were only four (4) defences to an assault charge. The Judge then would keep repeated this to me and my questions if not relating to one of these defences were not allowed.
The Crown repeatedly questioned its witnesses, especially Interior Health (IH) chief security officer Greg Smith, to confirm that I was issued a No Trespass order the week prior to the date (Aug. 19, 2021) of the alleged offence and was not allowed into the IH building in Kelowna.
Despite this, I was prohibited from questioning the witness on this very point, and I was prohibited from introducing video evidence to show that I had done nothing to justify being banned. I lost 20 pages of questions to the witnesses on this legitimate issue that was put into evidence by the Crown. Remember, this was a gov’t building, or gov’t leased part of the building that I had a right of access to, and my Charter and common law rights and freedoms applied, including to Greg Smith, as these cases below illustrate and confirm that I cannot be banned from this government-controlled area without a legitimate reason for so doing. They knew that they had no such reason so the only thing that could be done, was to keep my questions and evidence off the record.
“I observe that where a government issues a trespass notice relying on the common law power to expel persons from property, it is exercising a power that is subject to implied limits…In a free and democratic society, it is no small matter to exclude a person from public property.”
Bracken v Fort Erie (Town) 2017 ONCA 668
CanLII para. 75-77, 79, 80
“Although the expressive activity took place on government property, the government cannot have complete discretion to treat its property as would a private citizen….Under the Civil Code of Quebec (or the common law of other provinces) the Crown as property owner is entitled to withdraw permission from an invitee to be present on its property, subject always to the Charter. “
Committee for the Commonwealth of Canada v Canada
1991 CanLII 119 SCC McLachlin J.
So, I requested a mistrial and that the Judge recuse herself for bias. This of course was reserved for later decision meaning on this issue, the Judge is not going to agree. That’s fine – there are appeal courts to go to if the Judge screws me in this court.
Then trial defences followed. The Judge walked into court and without notice to me, suddenly informed me that I had only one (1) hour to present my submissions. This was wrong…I required a full morning to so do. As it turned out, her demands did in fact cut off my submissions and force me to rush my entire submissions to her, as she intended to do.
I began by informing the Judge that the Crown lied to her when he stated that there were only four defences and her mindless repetition of same. I had spent weeks researching this issue and there was not only another defence available, there was another essential element required as well.
For anyone who has seen the video in this case, you can see that the ‘touching’ took about one second. Further, it can be seen that all three (3) security guards pushed forward into me to stop me from entering the building, thereby showing an intention to assault me, not the other way around.
Even if this was an assault, which is denied, this was so trivial it should never have been brought to court, and could not have happened unless the Crown Grabavac was politically motivated. There was simply no assault by me at all.
I provided dozens of case law from B.C. and all over Canada confirming that this defence of di minimus applied. Finally, half way through my submissions, the Judge finally had to admit that yes, this defence did apply, thereby admitted she gave me false information about available defences.
The next issue was whether it applied in the facts of this case. I then began to provide case law where people were actually injured, in a minor way from an assault yet the judges in those cases, still found the accused innocent because it was so trivial the charges should never have been brought to court.
Greg Smith, the poor he-man security guard, complained he had a small scratch on his fat abdomen. Ahhhhhh. And the sympathy in the courtroom was visibly absent! Mr. Smith admits he has been in court many times over 30 years. He knows that he is required to give evidence and to support his claims. He knows he is required to preserve evidence, and keep records. In this context, Mr. Smith, inter alia:
filed no incident report with his superiors, Worker’s Compensation, or anyone else;
did not tell anyone else of any alleged injuries he sustained, including other security guards;
took no pictures of his abdomen as documentation, despite knowing he told the police to criminally charge me and this was likely to happen;
could not say or describe how this alleged surface scratch occurred, it just happened;
did not describe just what this scratch looked like and there is no evidence of bleeding;
showed no display of pain on Mr. Smith’s face from the alleged scratch, as the videos confirm;
did not at any time, pull his abdomen back as would be expected from any injury or scratch;
lost no time from work as a result of any alleged incident and continued to work on that day; and,
did not tell or show this alleged scratch to any police officer despite the fact that there were at least three of them in attendance at that time.
In short, it was pure fabricated, bald-faced and unsupported lies.
No one sustained any injuries, nor as I pointed out to the Judge, could anyone. I was standing less then three (3) feet away from these guards. I could not have mustered up enough speed in that little distance to injure anyone, especially as both my hands were holding a sheet of paper in front of me.
This case, with no injuries, was much less severe than many other cases where there were injuries and the charges were still thrown out as being too trivial. Even if Greg the Deceiver had a scratch, which is denied, it was less severe than some of the cases I put forward to the Judge.
The last point, was the essential elements of the offence. Assault under s. 265 of the Criminal Code is extremely broad and encompasses virtually any unwanted touching. Now clearly this could not have been the case or every parent disciplining their children would be up on assault charges, as would every push in a subway station.
I found a large number of cases ruling that there had to be “…anger, revengefulness, rudeness, or insolence, or at least some like behaviour to the touching performed before it can be said that there is the ‘force’ which completes the legal definition of assault”. “That offence is broadly constructed but also needs an element of aggressiveness to be complete.”There are many more cases out there than just these ones that I provided to the Judge.
Again, the Crown lied to the Judge who then just parroted the Crown and misrepresented the law to me. The Crown has to prove more than just unwanted touching, he has to prove some form of anger or hostility on my part, at the time of the incident. All the Crown could do was allege that I said something an hour after the incident that I hoped to see one security guard (not Greg Smith with the alleged abdomen cut) the following week. This of course, shows no anger or hostility on my part when the incident occurred, which fortunately thanks to Leo our cameraman, I have video evidence to confirm I was polite and respectful at all times.
We are back in court on Nov. 14 for ongoing final submissions on two other issues.
In May, I advanced a Charter challenge that banning me from the IH offices violated my s. 2 Charter freedoms. I agreed at that time to waive all Jordan (delay) rights, so that I would not raise any delay arguments to have the charges dismissed on that basis, to permit my Challenge to be heard. The Crown was visibly happy but still opposed my Challenge. The Judge to no surprise, said I should have filed it earlier and dismissed it without hearing it.
Now I have filed a Jordan application for delay as it is now 22 months since the charges were laid, and the SCC ruled 18 months is the max. The 18 month limit occurred about June 7, 2023. The Crown is going to falsely allege that I caused some of this delay to try and reduce the time of course.
Shortly after my submissions on Sept. 12, the Crown informed the Judge that he was now also applying to have me cited for contempt of court for allegedly failing to comply with a court order to file my submissions with the Crown prior to me receiving his submissions for final arguments.
This will also be argued on the 14th of Nov. I cannot at this time release my position of course, but I will after this hearing takes place. Some interesting surprises are going to happen at this hearing for sure.
That folks is where the falsified assault charges stand at present. This almost seems like something out of an American court case, where Conrad Black’s former lawyer Ed Greenspan once said about the U.S. court system, to paraphrase: They’re crazy down there. Well, to unfortunate surprise, they are crazy up here too…just in a more respectful manner.
Thank you for all your support, despite having two enemies in the courtroom – the Crown and the Judge!
See you November 14, 9:30 a.m. at the Kelowna Courthouse
Kelowna Petition to ban rallies
And the legal stupidity does not end there.
The City is trying to rush its case to be heard in the courts here in Kelowna. The original hearing was set for the week of August 28. But once the B.C. Supreme Court agreed that I had an arguable case with merit, the City’s council agreed to put this over to the week of October 10, 2023, at 9:45 a.m.
As part of my defence, I have filed a Constitutional Challenge, advancing that the RCMP have no jurisdiction in B.C. as only the provinces have jurisdiction over policing, and that the impugned Kelowna Bylaws that the City relies upon are unconstitutional as well, for a variety of reasons.
In addition, I have advanced the SLAPP defence (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation.) This legislation was first passed in Ontario and is now here in B.C. Basically, it is designed to permit defendants (like me) to challenge claims made that are trying to shut down our freedom of expression, from wealthy or powerful people, corporations or governments, as is the situation in this case.
Once I file the actual Notice of Application to dismiss the Petition based on this SLAPP defence, all proceedings in the case come to an immediate halt. The City will have an opportunity to file its defence and supporting affidavits, which I have no doubt that they are presently working on. Then we are each allowed up to seven (7) hours to cross examine each other’s witnesses. At this time, I do not know who the City’s proposed witness(es) will be.
I expect to file my Application shortly and once filed, I will immediately post it on our website for everyone to keep updated on what is actually happening.
I have warned everyone of the dangers of this case if the City were to succeed. They will be used by every City in B.C. to stop all protest rallies, and using amplified sound. Try talking to 500-10 000 people without a sound system. It is not possible and it is an indirect way of the Governments to shut down public assemblies and protests.
This is the biggest attempt to control our freedom of speech and assembly in history.
Already, this past Thursday at the Vernon B.C. protest, Vernon Bylaw Officers were instructing organizers that they could not use sound equipment in the park and to take it down. You can see the dangers already as I predicted.
This is a massively important case that we need to be successful upon.
I will have more to report on this case once my Application is filed, which I continue to work on daily. Legal research is extremely time consuming, especially upon such important issues that involve so many areas of law, Constitutional, statutory, bylaws, and municipal law.
David’s Documents now up on the website! The document titled “Response” is the legal argument David has filed.
The media has already confirmed to me that they were instructed by the Gov’t not to print anything contrary to the Gov’t COVID-19 narrative. If they deny us our freedom to protest where it is most effective, then other cities will follow likewise by banning our protests, and without any media assistance, the Gov’t will be free to do whatever it wants with no public exposure. Pure Communism. This is the most critical time in our struggle for freedom….right now.
NOTE:
The Crown has argued that the courts have required on this s. 11(b) Charter/Jordan hearing, that I am required to provide all transcripts of our hearings in support of it. Initial transcripts estimates were an amazing $12 000.00 for all hearing and trial dates, and about $4-5 000.00 if I can get by without the trial dates.
Putting aside the pure theft and selling of justice at this time, I am hoping that I can continue to lower these costs significantly. Fortunately, there are significantly less legal costs in this case then if I was required to have a lawyer, as is the case with the rallies. But there are costs for sure and we would be much grateful for any financial donations and assistance you can provide.
There will also be upcoming costs for production of transcripts from cross examinations in the Kelowna Rally case, and other legal costs as well.
Unfortunately, this case will have significant repercussions for every protest rally in British Columbia, and indeed, in Canada, as it is being heard in a superior court in this Province. This will be an incredibly complex case.
Donations would be very much appreciated as costs are now starting to come in.
E-transfers can be done to: clear2012@pm.me or cash donations can be mailed to: PO Box 21113 Cherry Lane Mall, Penticton BC V2A 8K8.

The Kelowna and Alberta Courts of Injustice
Pastor Artur Pawlowski
Recently on Sept. 18 Pastor Artur was required to face sentencing from a mischief charge for having a sermon in the Coutts area of Alberta.
The Crown was seeking 8-10 months in jail.
Judge Gordon Krinke in Lethbridge, determined that probation would not do any good because Pastor Artur does not believe he did anything wrong. Which is correct – he did not. Good for Pastor Artur for sticking to his beliefs.
What surprised me however, is that his lawyer also made a recommendation for incarceration in the sentence. Defence counsel sought time served. The Judge agreed to this and Pastor Artur was released the same day. I would have argued for no jail at all, and that the time served should never have happened. Had Pastor Artur been released on arrest, I doubt jail would have been ordered in this past sentencing hearing.
Everyone’s prayers were successfully answered that he did not have to spend any further time in jail for a crime he did not commit.
Fortunately, an appeal has already been filed in this case and let’s hope and pray he is successful in the Court of Queen’s Bench on his appeal. He should never have been convicted for simply giving a sermon and the Judge’s findings that because of the tone of his voice etc., that he intended to commit mischief, are pure political infestation into the judiciary. As is the case here in B.C.
————————————–
A class action lawsuit has been filed in Alta recently by Rebecca Ingram and Chris Scott, both small business owners. You will remember Rebecca Ingram was the person who just had the judge declare all COVID-19 orders in Alta unlawful simply because the Gov’t was telling the Health Minister what to do, contrary to statute.
Now she is part of a class action on behalf of small business owners against the Alta Gov’t for their losses during the COVID-19 false crisis.

The original reason CLEAR was founded was to expose the fraudulent usury (interest) based banking system. You should obtain a copy of the short book, USURY by Hilaire Belloc, as was as Billions for the Bankers, Debts for the People by Joe Thaughberger. Understanding the fraudulent banking system is the fundamental key to opening up the knowledge of freedom.
Every single problem in societies the world over, is traceable back to the fraudulent money system.

Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.

Fundraising and
Donations
In the absence of rallies every Saturday, we don’t get the funding we used to that allowed us to print all the resources we provide at the CLEAR booth, as well as the inserts that go into the Druthers newspapers for our Sunday paper deliveries. Thanks to your past donations, we have delivered over 8000 copies of Druthers, plus various inserts, in Kelowna and W. Kelowna, with lots more to go!
Future protests are being strategically planned right now for City Hall, the courthouse, and other locations.
Many people believe that the COVID-19 issue is over – and it is not. Freedom is a multi-generational struggle, where we hope to leave a better place for our children. Other serious issues are lurking ominously in the near future that we will need to focus on: 15 min cities; legal actions; digital ID and digital currencies to start. These will require ongoing research and production of signs and materials for public education. The digital ID and currency issues are two of the most critical and going to involve significant amounts of education for people.
Please give generously by etransfer to: clear2012@pm.me or our endeavours
to educate the public we will not be able to educate people as effective as we are doing now. You can also mail cash (this remains safe) by Expresspost to: P.O. Box 21113 Cherry Lane Mall, Penticton, BC, V2A 8K8. Cash of course, would be the preferred method to protect everyone’s privacy.
These are unfortunately the only methods available right now to accept donations outside of the monthly rallies. Everything we do is on a volunteer basis and if you are not able to volunteer, your cash donation is what keeps the freedom wheel turning.
We do need volunteers to join our Fundraising Focus Group. If you are good at event planning and have some time to devote to organize regular fundraising occasions, please come see Linda at the CLEAR booth this Saturday or contact CLEAR.Linda@proton.me.
We need volunteers who are:
Proactive
Can work independently
Able to collaborate with others
Responsible and Dependable
Trustworthy
Enthusiastic
Result-Oriented
Committed
Motivated
If you possess these qualities and want to make a difference right now as a Freedom Activist, please add your name to the Volunteer List at the CLEAR booth this Saturday or contact CLEAR.Linda@proton.me to get more information.
Freedom requires time, energy or money. Thank you all for your help, in any form you are able to assist with. Everything you do for the sake of freedom is a seed planted. And although you may not see where it lands, trust that it will grow and bear fruit! Otherwise, why have the City, Province and Feds continually tried to shut us down?!! We are effective with one of the lowest vaccination rates in BC and Canada – thanks to YOU!

You will be provided with a printed google map of the area you will be delivering to. Bring a yellow marker to indicate which streets you completed. You may run out of papers or you may end up with extra
We ask that with every paper you deliver, you remove the inserts and place them in the mailbox in front or behind the paper. That way, someone who may hastily throw out the paper will still be forced to see each individual flyer
Please deliver only one paper per mailbox, regardless if you have different papers (we usually have a combination of different papers and editions). Some houses may have up to 4 mailboxes; put one paper in each as they are for different tenants
Sign up as a Volunteer to participate in one of the many focus groups we are working to organize. Most people are too busy to commit to fighting for freedom. I guarantee you will have plenty of extra time after Canada becomes a full-fledged communist country and your jobs & businesses are gone. Time to add freedom-fighting to your list of priorities. Much of the help needed can be done at home and even one hour per week will be helpful. Even if you don’t want to join a specific group, maybe you have something you can offer to help out. Let us know!
Maxime Bernier Celebrates Huge Success of the 1 Million March 4 ChildrenThe line in the sand has been drawn
This week’s protests against radical gender ideology were an amazing success!
Far left extremists can try and transform our society, but indoctrinating our children crosses a line.
On Wednesday, the 1 Million March 4 Children saw tens of thousands of concerned Canadians take to the streets in cities across the country!
Canadians of every religion, background, and age proudly marched together. Chants of “no more silence” and “leave the kids alone” echoed through the streets.
I was in Ottawa where the turnout was amazing! 10 thousand people by my estimate. By far the biggest protest we’ve seen since the Freedom Convoy.
The protest in Toronto saw a similar turnout, and the support for the PPC was obvious!
And that was just the tip of the iceberg! Thousands more came out in Saskatoon, Vancouver, Halifax Montreal, and many more cities from coast to coast!
It was a beautiful day that helped restore my faith in Canada. But that was just the start of the week!
On Friday, I joined my friends Josh Alexander and Billboard Chris in Toronto for their second Education Over Indoctrination protest.
Hundreds showed up to continue to push back against radical gender ideology, far outnumbering violent ANTIFA counter-protestors.
As the lunch bell rang, students poured out of school and joined in our protest, it was beautiful to see!
A common question at both protests was: Where is Pierre Poilievre?
Despite his grassroots supporters passing a resolution rejecting gender ideology at the CPC policy convention just weeks earlier, Poilievre refused to support or even acknowledge these important protests.
In fact, he issued a memo to all of his MPs requiring them not to speak to the media or even post on social media about either of the protests!
The truth is, Poilievre does not want to speak about this issue.
He does not care about what the organizers and volunteers in his party want.
He does not care about the overwhelming grassroots movements growing.
He does not care about doing what is right.
He only cares about one thing: power, and his out-of-touch leadership team is too afraid of losing support from leftists in big cities or smears from the mainstream media to take a stand on this issue.
He won’t take any risk to defend parents and children.
He will continue to do the bare minimum on this issue, saying as little as possible and only when forced to.
But do you trust him to do anything about it if he were to win power?
I sure don’t.
I have been speaking out against radical gender ideology for years now, and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon.
Not until the medical transition of minors is made illegal!
This is the biggest child abuse scandal in our nation’s history. The mainstreaming of gender ideology is having a profound impact on a generation of children, the full impact of which we won’t know for years to come.
I will continue to defend the rights of parents and the innocence of children.
I don’t care what the media says about me. I don’t care what downtown Toronto leftists think of me.
This is the right thing to do and it is a battle I will fight until the end.
A society that doesn’t protect the innocence of children is lost.

There was a counter-protest group from SOS Pride who tried to drown us out with their loud singing and chanting, but we prevailed. Some reasonable individuals from both groups spoke with each other, and in some cases, found that we have some of the same concerns, in particular, the protection of our children. One big difference between those who are well-meaning on both sides is in who and what we see as the threat to those innocents. Another big difference is in where our funding comes from. Pro-SOGI groups receive funding and support from governments with money extorted from taxpayers, and those unions providing support and extorted funds from compulsory membership dues. Our rag tag groups depend on the donations at rallies and through individual contributions to specific freedom groups and initiatives like Druthers, Vaccine Choice Canada, Action4Canada and the other hundreds of worthy causes we become aware of almost daily. Two local reporters showed up at our Million March event. Thank you to Joe Fries (Penticton Herald) and Gord Goble (Penticton NOW) for fair and balanced reporting. WE MADE THE FRONT PAGE OF THE PENTICTON HERALD!
Thank you to Joe Fries, (Penticton Herald) and to Gord Goble (Penticton NOW) for fair reporting.
Here is how the local media presented it:
Penticton Herald – Sept. 19, the day before: the mayor’s views
And attached, you’ll find Shar’s letter to the editor (and others of influence). Powerful writing, Shar!You might want to forward this letter to other media and individuals as well, as a wake-up call. If you do, don’t send it as an attachment or a link, since all government, health and possibly media might now be using fear of computer viruses as a reason not to click links or open attachments. Put it right in the body of your email.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
There was a fair amount of interest in continuing the quest to eliminate SOGI 123 materials from schools and libraries and to respect parental rights to keep children out of classes that they object to. So…
Stop SOGI Zoom Meeting – Thursday, September 28 at 7 p.m. Pacific time

Purpose
1. To share resources forparents, grandparents and other concerned citizens,
2. To build on the momentum from the Million March 4 Children and keep the movement to remove SOGI from our school curriculums
3. To brainstorm what else we can do to keep the pressure on.
I hope to see you there! ~ ML
And a message from the Million March Registration Team
Dear valued march liaisons:
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who stepped up to make this Canada-wide movement possible during the #1MillionMarch4Children. Your efforts allowed people to raise their voices, not only across our nation, but also around the world. The Canadian people, who are truly awesome, embody the incredible spirit that makes our country great, and that spirit shines brightly in all of you.

Pastor Artur Pawlowski was in a Lethbridge Courtroom on Monday September 18th, where he received a jail sentence of 61 days after he was found guilty related to a charge for delivering a sermon at the Coutts, Alberta border blockade in February of 2022. Pastor Artur is an innocent man who has been unlawfully harassed, threatened, detained, imprisoned, held in solitary confinement, tortured and falsely accused and now convicted of crimes that he did not commit. While Pastor Artur maintains his innocence, with plans to appeal his conviction, he felt Justice Gordon Krinke delivered a fair sentence which credited time-served in pre-trial custody allowing him to walk out of the courtroom a free man. Pastor Artur is coming out of this stronger then ever, determined to continue to expose evil, seek justice, love mercy, feed the homeless, serve his community, and to work at the political level to protect faith, family and freedom. We want to thank all those who responded to the Call to Action in July and signed the petition to support Pastor Artur, the Independent media for getting his story out there, and to everyone who prayed for him and his family through this trying time. ———————————— o0o————————————-

Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley Wants Premier Smith to Expel an MLA From the United Conservative Caucus for Attending Pro-Family Rally
[Alberta has just seen cancel culture at its craziest. The leader of the oppostion NDP has demanded that Premier Danielle Smith expel “Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley said United Conservative Party MLA Jason Stephan (Red Deer-South) should be kicked out of caucus for going to the One Million March for Children.
“Shouldn’t be anywhere near the caucus,” said Notley at a Thursday press conference.
“Long since should have been kicked out.”
One might as what business is it of nosy Notley who sits in another party’s caucus?
“
Stephan said at the One Million March for Children in Red Deer on Wednesday, governments and school boards are making gross mistakes with blanket rules based on rare exceptions, especially when it means keeping secrets from parents.
“It’s a very serious manner for government to interpose themselves between families and children,” said Stephan.
“Parents have a sacred, moral duty to their children that pre-exists government.” – Paul Fromm

Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley said United Conservative Party MLA Jason Stephan (Red Deer-South) should be kicked out of caucus for going to the One Million March for Children.
“Shouldn’t be anywhere near the caucus,” said Notley at a Thursday press conference.
“Long since should have been kicked out.”
Stephan said at the One Million March for Children in Red Deer on Wednesday, governments and school boards are making gross mistakes with blanket rules based on rare exceptions, especially when it means keeping secrets from parents.
“It’s a very serious manner for government to interpose themselves between families and children,” said Stephan.
“Parents have a sacred, moral duty to their children that pre-exists government.”
Notley said Stephan’s removal should “have been the first thing the premier said this morning.”
To all of the sexual minorities in Alberta, she said they are loved, respected and their human rights are as important as everyone else’s. She added there are many people who will fight hard to ensure that never changes.
When she watched a video from a child at one of the rallies making hateful comments, she said it broke her heart. While children are not born with hate in their heart, a person convinced this child to spew hate.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith did not condemn these comments. Notley called it “one of the most profound failures in leadership that I’ve ever seen.”
She concluded by saying this hate must be condemned.
“And the fact that the premier is normalizing it by allowing one of her caucus members to participate in this is appalling,” she said.
The former justice minister, a federally-appointed “special interlocutor,” an NDP MP, and now a Senate committee are all desperately trying to stop Canadians from questioning the narrative that thousands of indigenous children are missing in “unmarked graves” at former residential schools.
In May 2021, the Tk’emlúps First Nation of Kamloops, BC sensationally announced they discovered the remains of 215 children in unmarked graves.
In reality, their ground-penetrating radar found 200 soil disturbances which were possibly caused by septic field drainage tiles.
No remains have been uncovered.
Reliable evidence pointing to thousands of unmarked graves at residential schools is still lacking, yet the Standing Senate Committee on Indigenous Peoples has recommended that “the Government of Canada take every action necessary to combat the rise of residential school denialism.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/0ulTk6WZ428?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1
The committee’s July 2023 report, “Honouring the children who never came home: Truth, education and reconciliation,” states, “Denialism serves to distract people from the horrific consequences of residential schools, and the realities of missing children, burials and unmarked graves.”
“Of real concern to the committee is the small group of vocal individuals who try to undermine Survivors’ accounts of the hardships and abuse they experienced during residential schools.”
Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Graves Kimberly Murray was one of the committee’s witnesses.
Murray has previously written in her own report that “Urgent consideration should be given to legal mechanisms to address denialism, including the implementation of both civil and criminal sanctions.”
In her report, Murray also claimed that grave-diggers were showing up to the Kamloops site in the night with shovels, hoping to dig up childrens’ bodies. The local RCMP detachment told True North they had no reports of such incidents. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2clXaABq7xQ?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1
In response to Murray, Liberal MP and former Justice Minister David Lametti said he is open to “a legal solution” to “outlaw” questioning the residential school narrative.
According to Hymie Rubenstein of the Indian Residential Schools Research Group, this is an attempt to criminalize debate on important indigenous issues.
“This might be legally unprecedented if enacted and probably easily challenged as an infringement of the Charter’s free speech provision,” said Rubenstein.
“It may also be redundant given existing hate law legislation.”
The Senate committee did not respond to a request for comment.
True North also reached out to newly-appointed Justice Minister Arif Virani to ask if he would continue David Lametti’s project of outlawing “residential school denialism,” but his office offered no response.
Anti-Freedom Goons Try to Disrupt Victoria “Hands off our Children” Rally: Hallowe’en Came Early at the Precinct of the B. C. Legislature
The Apostle Paul said “I speak as a fool speaks”. Thus, sarcastically I say > the anti-SOGI rally was a win-win-win for all participants. The parental rights faction did have their say – for 45 minutes – ‘til menace from the trans-activists became palpable. At which point Sgt. Lucas told the rally’s organizers to turn off the microphone, declaring “we cannot guarantee everyone’s safety” The collection of weirdos and lewd fellows of the baser sort were delighted they manifested pan-demon-ium at the very ‘gates of the City’ = the grounds of the Legislature in Victoria. The cops could congratulate demselves that, at least, no blood was spilled.
You couldn’t ask for a nicer day in quaint prosperous peaceful little Victoria. On the lawn at 11 am Wednesday 20 police officers in uniform moved around in good humor. But as they congregated, the trans-activists were in the mood for trouble. By the time the speakers started at noon it was obvious that twenty police wouldn’t be enough to keep the Peace and Dignity of His Majesty the King. As well as the cops, there were eight private security guys in the speakers’ enclosure.
Main theme of the Event, was ; rights of parents to moral instruction of our children supercedes what is being taught in provincial public schools called SOGI*. The weren’t expecting such a large contingent of opposition, with signs and flags and banners saying : “SOGI saves lives”. ie. that ‘society must acknowledge gender dysphoria as normal or else children will commit suicide’.
By noon I counted 300 fairly-normal looking people around the speakers’ enclosure. Plus 1000 warm bodies plenty obviously there for no good reason but to shout down the speakers. The mob soon pressed in on the line of police standing firm around the speakers. Of course, scuffling started. Trans-activists purposefully got past the police. Exactly as called for by the union leaders, the goon squad fomented assaults, so the organizers were genuinely in danger. Just before the cops pulled the plug, I was 10 yards from Megan Murphy at the microphone. The decibel level of noise from the mob was as high as a rock concert. Particularly disgusting, was, chants of profanity … a hallmark of the communists. Which always reminds me of what my Grade 3 teacher taught us : ‘people resort to profanity when they run out of intelligent things to say’.
In a ZOOM call a few days before, leaders of trade and industrial unions had called for “flying squads’ to confront parental rights rallies which were scheduled in 22 cities across Canada. Only reason the scene in Victoria didn’t qualify as a “riot” is because the cops called it off, timely.
It can be seen as a teachable moment. A lesson lacking in Christian circles these days … darkness is not just the absence of light. There is real Evil in the world. Those crazies in full throat demonstrated what happens when the mask of civility slips. And that is no euphemism. Many of them were demon-possessed. Particularly ominous is the fad of masking their lower face with bandanas. Wearing sunglasses with hoodies dressed all in black. Symptoms of mental disease playing out in public. Serious trouble in the offing.
Having been through more than a few of these scenes for 3 decades, I know that the rang-i-tangs don’t show up spontaneously, all on their own. No, “street theatre / agit-prop” is done by goons literally trained in communist schools. The newspaper of record in British Columbia’s capital city = the Times Colonist = is a pathetic rag … nothing but a propaganda outfall for the New Democratic Party. The next day, its article about the Breach of the Peace had a full color photo of a sign with the clenched fist icon. No mere accident … that’s the commies gloating at having done what they boasted they’d do = Disrupt Demoralize Destroy
It was telling that the thing had started out advertised as a project organized by the Muslims. Yet the lame-stream media said not a syllable about the 50 or so there.
On September 20th, those engaging in moral blackmail … whose propaganda uses the word “safety” every other paragraph … were the ones whom police identified as threatening public safety. Old Polish joke: “They laugh. They have yet to hear the bad news’..” Or in modern parlance … what goes around, comes around. After what played out at the Leg. I look forward with glee to when the soyboys start whinging and snivelling as their asses get kicked. And I don’t mean, figuratively.
I go back so far, I recall the Maoists at UBC, ( 1968 ) holding up their little red books chanting “Fascists have no right to speak” ….shouting down someone warning what was going on in Red China with The Great Leap Forward. The way their intellectual **heirs disgraced the gates of the City identifies who the Red Fascisti are these days. Now an old codger at this sport, I think of Elvis Costello singing “I used to be disgusted. Now I just try to be amused”. [ ** I use that word loosely ]
* SOGI stands for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. The main concept of which is, that a human being may be born in the wrong body. So he or she can supposedly “transition” to become the opposite sex. Of course, this is absurd. But such Insanity is a fundamental part of the curriculum in the public fool system lately. Most parents who become aware that their children are being programmed with this non-sense, get angry. Two generations of Christians failed to pay attention to how the public fool system had been taken over by Marxists. Wakening from stupor, they thrash-around. The lesson learned at the Leg. was only Round One. Beginners found out how it goes with serious political activism.
There is a simple remedy to the power struggle for the lives of our children > take them out of the clutches of socalled ‘professional educators’ better described as minions of the Devil. The socalled ‘school system’ does more harm than good. Christians, especially, ought to separate themselves from the world. Since that institution was infiltrated and overwhelmed by the antichrists, it’s up to us to do what is necessary to take back our children from pedophiles-in-power. Home schooling is how to go about it = the sooner the better.

Freedom Pledge Humanity is at a critical juncture because collectively we have failed to grasp the significance of the events unfolding around us and to respond appropriately. There is little argument that governments globally are exceeding their delegated authority. To permit this unfettered abuse of power is to risk losing the natural rights and freedoms that is the heritage of all people and the foundation of free and just societies. History shows that humanity has often been exploited by the machinations of tyrants, opportunists, oligarchs, and oppressors. History further reveals that rights and freedoms are never returned willingly. Rather, it is the oppressed themselves who ultimately reclaim and preserve human rights that benefit humanity. One of the consequences of tyranny is that we individually and collectively affirm what we are willing to accept from those to whom we delegate power. Tyranny also clarifies what we are willing to fight for and perhaps even die for. It is the duty of every human to ensure that fundamental human rights are upheld. The consequence of failing to stand up and curtail tyranny is to risk losing all that we hold precious and to condemn future generations to lives of servitude. In all of the above, I pledge to stand with all those in the freedom community in resistance to oppression. Before my Creator, my family and my community, I declare: • I will rise up, speak up and disobey harmful and tyrannical orders, whether they come from a domestic or foreign entity. • I will stand in my power and authority and reclaim my innate rights and what has been unlawfully and immorally taken from me, my family and my community. • I will resist any attempt, by government or otherwise, to divide people or communites from each other, or to subjugate any people to discriminate�on or harassment based on ethnicity, faith, bodily autonomy, or freedom of choice. • If the enemies of freedom come for anyone’s children, my neighbors, my community, or my naton, I will resist.
I will not surrender my rights, nor those of my children and community.
Alex Honnold — on a rock face climbing without ropes
Like Alex Honnold in Free Solo, hanging onto rock walls with only his fingertips, we’ve all traversed danger and darkness without a net over the past three years. But we’ve come out the other side – almost. I’m proud I stood tall and refused the vaccine even though the isolation was debilitating and there were days it cost me my sanity. I look back on it now and wonder how I did it.
One thing I do know is that it got easier once the truckers hit the road. The Freedom Convoy brought us together, pulled us out of the shadows and reminded us that Canada is actually a good place, full of pioneering spirit and generosity. I often say that feeling of connectedness reminded me of how we came together to grieve for those sixteen kids and their support staff from the Humboldt Broncos hockey team bus who died in pursuit of the ultimate Canadian cultural event — small-town, prairie hockey.
I had nightmares about the scene at that intersection, near Tisdale, Saskatchewan and when the call went out to place hockey sticks on our front porches, my husband did it at his business and we even put one outside our door in the hallway of our apartment building. I loved that our country understood the moment.
Hockey Sticks in Toronto
I was again thinking about this story yesterday in trucker court, sitting just behind Chris Barber and Tamara Lich on trial for various charges that are not connected to any violence. They had already been arrested and yet the Crown lead evidence from February 19th — a day the Sûreté du Québec and other police forces, some dressed in black-bloc were aggressively trying to clear the streets. What I am about to say should disqualify me from reporting on the trial — but I am declaring my bias here and let the chips fall where they may.

The scenes were surreal. Convoy protestors, sometimes nose to nose with police chanted love over fear and peace, despite the militaristic threat they faced. I believe I heard a couple of hold the line comments as well. What I saw was a study in thoughtful civil disobedience — the kind we usually applaud from historical figures. The protestors were mostly men, some of them military age and during a another era, they might have been soldiers deployed overseas. Watching them keep their cool in the face of overwhelming police power felt miraculous.
Police and convoy protestors from an unknown date.
Here is my live tweet from court:
So my confession is that I felt deeply yesterday that I should have been there, standing with those people. I supported the convoy — that’s no secret but I wonder if that was enough.
Every time video clips are lead by the Crown, I have the same reaction — how calm and in control of themselves the protestors seemed to be. That was underscored by the SQ officer on the witness stand admitting that his Green Squad broke in the midst of it to go for lunch – a moment highlighted by Tamara’s lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon.
In the meantime it’s being reported on social media that some of this country’s biggest unions are planning to disrupt tomorrow’s protests against schoolboards, teachers and ideological medicine working to indoctrinate our kids. If you ever doubted that the lone and distant Nazi flag at the trucker protest was a product of the same thinking, here is more evidence they don’t tolerate debate or opinions different from their own.
