Human rights tribunal says the quiet part out loud
National Post
22 Mar 2023
BRUCE PARDY Bruce Pardy is executive director of Rights Probe and professor of law at Queen’s University.
In June 2021, an Ontario high school student tried to sign up for a summer program. He was rejected because he was white. The “Summerup” program, sponsored by the Ontario government, was open only to Black students. His father filed a complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal alleging racial discrimination. Last November, the Tribunal dismissed the complaint, saying the quiet part out loud. White people, wrote the Tribunal, cannot claim discrimination.
The law appears to say otherwise. Under the Ontario Human Rights Code, every person has a right to equal treatment without discrimination. The Code, however, has a loophole. “Special programs” are exempt. Special programs give special treatment. They discriminate “to assist disadvantaged persons or groups to achieve or attempt to achieve equal opportunity.” A government, company or organization like a school board can apply to designate a discriminatory program as a special program.
The Summerup program had not been designated as a special program. But the Tribunal determined it met the requirements anyway, which the Code empowers it to do. If a program discriminates against the “correct” groups, it will fit within the exemption as a matter of course. The Tribunal wrote, “an allegation of racial discrimination or discrimination on the grounds of colour is not one that can be or has been successfully claimed by persons who are white and non-racialized.” The statute that purports to prohibit discrimination authorizes it instead.
It’s not just the Human Rights Tribunal. For almost 40 years, the Supreme Court of Canada has eviscerated legal equality. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
states that every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination. But the Court has given it the opposite meaning. Like the Human Rights Code, the Charter has an equity exception, and like the Tribunal, the Court has made the exception into the rule. The Charter, the Court insists, requires not equal treatment between individuals but equal or comparable outcomes between identity groups.
The Charter does not merely allow discrimination against certain groups, the Court has said, but sometimes requires it. For instance, in 2020 the Court declared unconstitutional a RCMP job-sharing scheme that enabled employees to work part-time if they wished. The voluntary program was open to men and women. Since part-time employees worked fewer hours, they earned lower pension entitlements. More women than men chose to enrol, and as a result more women than men ended up with lower pensions. The program was unconstitutional because the rules of the program were the same for men and women.
Other courts, of course, have followed suit. In December 2022, the Ontario Divisional Court declared a standardized math test for teacher candidates unconstitutional. East and southeast Asian and white candidates passed the test more frequently than Black and Indigenous test-takers. Therefore, the Court concluded, the test was discriminatory, “which occurs when neutral laws have a disproportionate impact on members of enumerated or analogous groups.” The Court did not care why different groups passed the test at different rates. The fact of disparate success was enough to bring use of the test to an end.
Justice is supposed to be blind. Blind justice means that the same rules and standards apply to everyone without arbitrary distinctions. When the law treats people as individuals rather than as members of groups, it does not matter whether they are Black or white, man or woman, straight or gay, rich or poor. The law should not care who you are.
Unlike Canadians, Americans have a right to equal treatment, at least in principle. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 require it. The American legal system still contains within it the essence of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream of a society in which people are judged by the content of their character (as evidenced in their actions) rather than the colour of their skin. The U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide a challenge to Harvard University’s race-based undergraduate admissions process, which complainants allege discriminates against Asian and white applicants. In the U.S., “equal protection” is still the legal test.
In Canada, legislatures, courts, and tribunals have rejected equal protection, but they are not the only ones. Professional regulators, universities, and other public institutions have piled on, too. The Law Society of Ontario insists that in the practice of law there are too many of certain kinds of people and not enough of others. It aims to socially engineer the profession’s demographic makeup and to require lawyers and firms to comport with mandatory “equity, diversity and inclusion” measures. Universities offer admission processes, support programs, and faculty positions for which only certain races are eligible. Government agencies offer grants and other benefits to specific identity groups.
Preferential measures, distinguishing between people by their colour, lineage, gender and sexuality, are becoming the order of the day. It is time to say the other quiet part out loud: Canadians have not agreed to be treated unequally.

In case you missed the rally last Sunday… Updates on the following initiatives:
1. Recall David Eby – Laureen, Derrick & Wayne, just back from another trip to help out with the Recall David Eby campaign, left us with great tips:
a. Handing out materials at elementary schools can be effective if done at the end of the school day when parents come to pick up their children.
b. Remember, regardless of the final count of votes to recall David Eby, there are many thousands of people who now know about Bill 36, most of whom are shocked and upset and will be watching our politicians (especially David Eby) more closely.
c. There has already been another attempt to recall one of our MLAs, and another recall in the Prince George area is simply waiting for the go-ahead to launch their Recall campaign.
2. Penticton Council Open House – Elsie shared her experience there.
a. 15 minutes cities: She asked the Mayor “What about these 15-minute cities?” to which he responded, “That will never happen here!”. So, what about that rumour that Penticton has already received a huge hunk of change to focus on that very project?
b. Penticton Bike Lanes: Three of the councillors are against the bike lane plans but cannot do much about it because they are still required to spend the grant money provided to complete the project. Sounds like a couple of gotchas to me.
3. Doctors’ Packages – Shar and Mary Lou shared tips from handing out 11 Doctors’ packages to Pharmacists on Friday. A fresh supply of 100 packages will be picked up for us to go out again this week. Woohoo! Eleven were delivered for Pharmacists last Friday in less than two hours!
4. Steve’s Cash is King project will continue for at least another week – dropping off posters for merchants to use to encourage the use of cash in their stores. Bring your results to the next rally for a draw prize draw.

Canadian teacher of 40 years fired for speaking out against Trudeau’s ‘mass grave’ hoax
[The Red Guards of wokeness have claimed another victim, Jim McMurtry, who only tried to correct a misinformed student who claimed that Catholic priests had murdered many young Indians in residential school. He quoted the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that tubereculosis was the major killer, there in in the greater society until the 1950s. For this and because he refused to be silenced, this brilliant and educated man was fired. I sympathize. After a 25 year career as an “exemplary teacher”, I too was fired in 1997 by the Peel Board of Education, not for anything I said or did in the classroom but for my political views expressed on my own time, outside school property. — Paul Fromm]
According to his employer, since school teacher Jim McMurtry would not forego his ‘democratic right’ or be ‘muzzled’ he of course must be fired. Kamloops Residential SchoolChris Allan/Shutterstock

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. (LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian teacher who taught for forty years has been fired for speaking out against the now roundly debunked “mass grave” narrative that Trudeau and the mainstream media peddled in 2021.
According to the National Post, Jim McMurtry was fired on Tuesday, February 21, for daring to speak out against the misinformation about the Canadian residential school history.
In 2021 when the “mass grave” narrative spread across Canada, faster than the dozens of Church burnings that it inspired, McMurtry corrected one of his students in a Grade-12 class who stated that priests had murdered and tortured children and left them to freeze to death in the snow.
He told the student that most children who died in residential schools died from disease, which was true not just of native children at that time, but children in general.
It may seem insane to hear that people were bandying around the notion that priests were essentially serial murderers for decades without ever being stopped, but that is what people thought. — Article continues below Petition — PETITION: Trudeau must apologize for “mass grave” smear that led to church-burnings Show Petition Text 4946 have signed the petition.Let’s get to 5000! Add your signature: Keep me updated via email on this petition and related issues.
I distinctly remember Canada Day in 2021 – what a dark day that was – and even family members had come to the conclusion that Catholic priests and nuns had ritually murdered children and thrown them into massive pits behind the schools.
Of course, as the Post report pointed out, nothing like this was ever recorded in any official report.
For his efforts, McMurtry was marched out of the school for having committed what might be the only mortal sin left in public education: not peddling a communist narrative.
Ironically, all McMurtry did was repeat information that was recorded in the federal government’s own Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report. The TCR report is far from a “conservative” or “right-wing” document, and has been sharply criticized for shoddy scholarship and not including the massive amounts of positive claims about residential schools.
Alas, McMurtry’s reference to historical information in a government-approved report that did not include positive information about the residential schools was seen as unacceptable, and he was suspended.
subscribe to our daily headlines US Canada Catholic
A year after his initial suspension he refused to remain silent about the injustice and was subsequently fired.
The report that recommended he be axed admitted that his commitment to telling the truth was why he was fired:
Given Mr. McMurtry’s assertions that he will not be ‘muzzled,’ that he has a democratic right to speak, that he will not follow directions, it is clear that Mr. McMurtry’s employment can no longer continue.
So, according to his employer, since McMurtry would not forego his “democratic right” or be “muzzled,” he of course must be fired.
It is worth remembering that we are not speaking about some renegade activist, but a teacher of four decades who simply corrected a student who said something different than the official government information. This affair is nothing more than an employer penalizing a man who is shedding light on the fact that the employer was wrong in the first place.
How have we arrived at the point where a public school teacher is disciplined for telling students information that was made available to the public by a publicly funded government inquiry?
As if the firing wasn’t absurd enough, McMurtry holds a master’s degree in the history of education and a doctorate in the philosophy of education, with a specialty in indigenous history.
The man is literally an accredited expert in education and the history of native Canadians, but was sacked for telling the truth about the history of native Canadians.
Apparently in Canada, any degrees and experience one might have is irrelevant if you don’t move at the speed of woke.
About the affair, McMurtry said:
This woke indoctrination [is] as offensive as any totalitarian ideology that has ever been pushed… There are people who believe that Canada is systemically racist and that all our ancestors were monsters. And I’m the person who is saying, ‘Well, let’s debate it. Let’s look at it.’
He also said that teachers “are walking on eggshells,” and need to speak up before it is too late.
It was reported that he was “terminated for just and reasonable cause,” but it seems that reason went out the window with the actual truth about native Canadian history.
STOP PRESS ~ BREAKING: Police in the Canadian province of Ontario has arrested and detained a student at a local Catholic school, Josh Alexander, who had previously come into conflict with the school administration because of his Christian beliefs.
As Alexander himself said in an interview with the channel, during a discussion at school, he said that men and women are different, and he was forthwith forbidden to appear on the territory of the educational institution, and when he tried to come to classes, the school staff handed him over to the state police.
The high school student did not rule out that, because of his views, he would not be able to get a secondary education in the end. Few Americans are interested in Canada – even if this country suddenly takes and disappears, we will not report about it even on the evening news. But we are still monitoring the situation in Canada – and all because we are amazed at how quickly such a good country turned into a totalitarian state. Shouldn’t we take some lessons from this?
And here’s an example for you: in Canada, a high school student was arrested for saying that men and women are different. The student’s name is Josh Alexander, and he attended St. Joseph’s High School, a Catholic school located in Renfrew, Ontario, but was banned from the school grounds for claiming that God created only two genders. The statement is understandable: it, in general, corresponds to Christian teaching, and to common sense too. And when the student nevertheless came to class, he was detained by the police – you can watch how this happened on your screens.
Well, it seemed to us that it would be good to talk with him – therefore, Josh Alexander himself and his lawyer James Kitchen get in touch with us. Thank you both for visiting us. Josh, the first question for you, were you arrested for walking into a Catholic school after claiming that men and women are different? Are we exaggerating anything?
JOSH ALEXANDER, high school student: No, you’re not exaggerating – that’s exactly what happened. However, this point has been reached in several stages. Several female students from our school complained to me, confessing that they were worried about the fact that male students came into their bathroom.
This question eventually grew into an intra-school discussion, and I decided to stand my ground in it, and to reinforce this point of view, I used quotations from the Holy Scriptures. Then I was forbidden to appear in the school building until the end of the school year – and when I tried to come to class, I was detained, and charging me.
Did you remind yourself that your school is Christian, and your thought is one of the ideas underlying Christianity since it is contained in the main book for this religion, which some also call the Bible?
JOSH ALEXANDER: Of course. I even tried to discuss it with the school administration, but they refused to talk to me.
Mr Kitchen – by the way, please accept my regrets about what happened to your, in my opinion, beautiful country – but what legal means can you resort to in Canada in this case?
JAMES KITCHEN, lawyer: Of course, we have a limited arsenal, since our country has a much weaker constitution, and besides, there is much less piety in relation to the personal rights and freedoms of citizens, both from a legal and cultural point of view and the government is much more interested in doing whatever he pleases. And yet, in this case, we have the opportunity to appeal to the Ontario Commission on Human Rights: we believe that there was religious discrimination against Josh’s Christian beliefs, and in this regard, we will file a complaint with the commission. In addition, there is an option to act directly through the School Board to challenge relevant disciplinary actions, and we hope to explore this option as well.
What happens – your country was captured by the son of Fidel Castro, and it suddenly turned into Cuba? Simply amazing. Josh, I’ll quickly ask you: the police officers who detained you, a high school student, for quoting the Bible on the territory of a Christian school, must have been ashamed of what they are doing – at least I hope they are. Did they look embarrassed?
JOSH ALEXANDER: I wouldn’t say that. In recent years, I have repeatedly had to come into close contact with the police – at the “Convoy of Freedom” and other actions of this kind – and I can say that the police in our country are in a rather shameful state. So, in my case, they acted as usual. Will you continue your studies at school?
JOSH ALEXANDER: I will certainly try to continue it – I hope my personal beliefs do not deprive me of the opportunity to get an education. But it looks like that is exactly what will happen.
Just an ugly story. Hope you both stay on the air. Thank you! Josh Alexander and James Kitchen were with us.

Antisemitism charges upend Ontario byelection race in NDP stronghold
It was expected to be a smooth cruise to victory in the NDP stronghold of Hamilton Centre but the campaign has been buffeted by allegations of antisemitism.

HAMILTON — It was expected to be a smooth cruise to victory in a riding staunchly New Democrat for almost two decades under former party leader Andrea Horwath, who quit last year to become mayor of Steeltown.
But accusations of antisemitism against NDP candidate Sarah Jama — which she denies — are buffeting the campaign in Thursday’s Hamilton Centre byelection, putting the disability activist and the party’s newly minted leader Marit Stiles on the defensive.
B’nai Brith issued a statement Monday calling Jama “a radical activist who has been associated with groups that have frequently targeted Israel,” including the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, and urged Stiles to drop her as a candidate.
Jama acknowledged her own “messy history around anti-racism” during a candidates’ debate broadcast on local cable TV the next evening, but said “nothing has been called out in terms of things that I’ve said.”
That history includes ties to Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights during her student activist days at McMaster University. The group has called for a Palestinian state “from the (Jordan) river to the sea” — often interpreted as erasing the state of Israel.
“Me standing up for Palestinian human rights … cannot be conflated with antisemitism,” the founder of the Ontario Disability Justice Network added in an exchange that followed a question from a viewer.
“I’m really against antisemitism in our communities, but I’m also for human rights, and that includes the rights of everybody, whether it’s Black people … Indigenous people in our communities and Palestinian people,” said Jama, 28, who campaigns in a power chair because she cannot walk after being born prematurely with cerebral palsy.
“Being disabled gives me another lens of compassion. It’s one thing to talk about supporting vulnerable community members, but it’s another thing to share in those experiences.”
As part of her activist efforts, Jama was given a $100,000 ticket — and ripped it up — at a 2020 city hall protest in support of homeless people that violated COVID-19 stay-at-home laws, seemingly at odds with frequent New Democrat calls for Premier Doug Ford’s government to maintain tight restrictions to limit spread of the virus. The charges were later dropped.
Jama was acclaimed the NDP candidate in November after running unopposed for the nomination.
Stiles, whose New Democrats rebuked MPP Joel Harden (Ottawa Centre) last fall for antisemitic remarks before she became leader, fielded questions on Jama for three straight days at the legislature — with a nod to her “messy history” remark.
“When you’re at a rally, and we’ve all found ourselves in these situations where you really can’t control what somebody is doing over here and over there, you learn from that, right?” Stiles told reporters.
“Sarah Jama is a well-known human rights activist who has always stood up against hate, antisemitism and racism and I look forward to welcoming her at Queen’s Park.”
Liberal candidate Deirdre Pike, a training facilitator in the LGBTQ community and a former social justice planner in her second run at the riding after losing to Horwath in the 2018 provincial election, said Jama needs to do a better job “clearing the air.”
“There is a problem when respectable organizations like B’nai Brith are calling you out,” added the 60-year-old who got a boost going door-to-door when 1,500 Liberals gathered in Hamilton last weekend to chart a course for picking a new leader.
“Solutions to Israel need to come through diplomatic and negotiated solutions, not through, you know, extreme groups that use phrases that can be quite triggering.”
At a time when Premier Doug Ford is facing criticism over opening the Greenbelt, a lack of affordable housing and a crisis in health care, the challenge is that the byelection campaign is garnering little attention, said McMaster University political scientist Peter Graefe.
“I don’t think people are really talking about it,” he told the Star. “Locally, it’s not much of a story but the parties are trying to use this as provincial messaging.”
Interim Liberal Leader John Fraser — whose party has eight MPPs at Queen’s Park compared to the New Democrats with 30 — said concerns about Jama’s candidacy are key to the tone Stiles is striking for the NDP in the wake of the Harden controversy in November.
“It’s a test of leadership.” he told reporters at Queen’s Park, urging Stiles to drop Jama. “Sometimes doing the right thing is really, really hard.”
Harden was forced to apologize by former NDP interim leader Peter Tabuns for remarks at the August 2021 Ottawa Forum on Israel Palestine.
The Ottawa MPP said he has “asked many questions of Jewish neighbours here about how much longer we should put up with this … the single greatest threat, the single greatest origin of violence in the Middle East, it is unquestionably the state of Israel.”
Tabuns told reporters he was “very angry” at Harden’s “hurtful” comments about confronting Jewish neighbours over actions by the state of Israel, a tactic Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre president Michael Levitt called “textbook antisemitism.”
Progressive Conservative candidate Pete Wiesner, 47, who skipped the cable debate to campaign in-person with voters, said the Jama situation is “certainly in people’s decision-making process now.”
On leave from his job as a Hamilton police sergeant in the crisis response branch, which deals with marginalized communities like the homeless, Wiesner is hoping to build on Ford’s outreach to labour that helped the PCs win additional seats in the June provincial election, including two in the former NDP stronghold of Windsor.
PC candidates finished a distant second in the riding in the last two provincial elections, with Liberals in third place and Greens in fourth.
Ten candidates are running in Thursday’s vote, according to Elections Ontario.

Support our Pastors and Supremacy of God against draggers
All Provincial ministers and officials, as well as Federal, have all sworn an Oath of Allegiance and Oath of Office to the Monarch (Oaths). They are the agents of the Monarch…if the Monarch cannot take specific actions, nor can his/her officials and Ministers – or Judges. Delegates have no more powers than the delegator.
Recently, Alberta Pastor Derek Reimer was released on unspecified conditions, only after he agreed to be released on health issues, from jail.
Paster Reimer was charged for mischief and causing a disturbance – the ‘go-to’ charges of police when nothing else applies.
In his attempts to protest drag queen events sexualizing our children, he was assaulted and beaten by parents who clearly care not for their children (or are the parents protecting their own perverted inclinations?). The video has gone viral around the world and despite this – these parents have not been charged with assault, and should be.
Opposing child grooming and child sexualization, is not a hate-crime, as Calgary’s Sikh Mayor Jyoti Gondek promotes. It is our dutiful protection of our children and our founding laws of God, which clearly Mrs. Gondek does not support and should not be in Office on that basis alone.
These activities are clearly the antithesis of that which God has taught us. Though our Municipal officials do not take these Oaths to the Monarch, they cannot be permitted to not take them. Provincial officials cannot refuse to take these Oaths and cannot delegate or permit people in these legislative Municipal corporations to do that which they cannot do.
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
God is the supremacy of our law and always has been, yet He has never been more under attack than today. And look at the results in society – our culture is being destroyed from within, our families are being destroyed, and morals and ethics have been virtually removed from society.
Gov’ts are placing tattooed police officers who will just follow orders in all our police forces, to give them the “look of authority.” (is this now a job requirement?)
Queers, drag queens, sky high divorce rates, loss of Christianity and massive non-Christian (read Communist) immigration, statutory supremacy of politicians over God’s laws, Communist and other non-believing judges, and other treasonous activities, are destroying our society and the laws which founded our once great nation.
We need to support the few pastors who have the courage to stand up on God’s laws against these corrupt and criminal politicians.
Do not look to the Charter for the Supremacy of God – look to the founding Constitutional document of our Commonwealth – the Coronation Oath of the Monarch, for it is there that the Monarch gets all their powers and their duties are severely restricted.
The Monarch cannot Constitutionally give Royal Assent to any legislation/rules/regulations/orders/decrees/policies etc. that are contrary to God’s laws and principles in the Bible. They are prohibited by their Oaths from so doing.
If they do – they either lied while taking their Oaths, or they are lying now by breaking their Oaths. This includes creating Municipal corporations that do not have to take these Constitutionally required Oaths.

Sign-up on the Newspaper Delivery list so that you get an email confirming the deliveries for each Sunday. With winter in mind, we will only do this if roads are bare and it’s not snowing. The advantage of delivering this time of year is that nobody is hanging out in their front yards except for the odd snowman.
We meet at the Capri parking lot between A&W and De Dutch Pannekoek House
Bring a large bag for carrying the papers if you want
Grab a free small Kelowna mapbook that can help you get situated. Your cell phone will be tracking and tracing you. Learn how to read maps again
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!
3 Simple Things Freedom Activists can do to WIN this War:
Spread the Word by delivering papers and flyers everywhere:
Knowledge is power!
2. Replace your cell phone with a flip phone:
Think of your apps as TRAPS!
3. Use CASH:
Hand out the “Use cash cards” and “pay cash” business posters
————————————–
REMINDER
New Credit Card Fees & Lack of Privacy
The dangers of digital gov’t ID and currencies are here… you need to use cash. As recognized by Freedom Rising, there are many inherent dangers of using digital currency. What do you do, not if, but when:
The internet is down
There is a power outage
The card reader malfunctions
Your phone battery dies or doesn’t work for other reasons
WE SUGGEST YOU CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING AS WELL:
Your phone is stolen
Your passwords are co-opted
Your credit/debit card strip is damaged – needs replacing
There are errors in relation to the quantum of $$ on your card
Gov’t limits your purchases/CRA liens the balance on your card
AND MANY OTHER DANGERS
CLEAR has promoted the non-use of digital currencies and credit/debit cards as much as possible, for years.
Suggestion:
Withdraw money on Saturday/Sunday from the bank or bank machine, and then leave your money at home if you are scared to carry it with you, and just carry the amounts of cash for each day’s purchases for the week.
NO MORE CARDS!!!! NO EXCUSES!
USE CASH $$$$$$$$$
Get these cards below at the CLEAR booth to give out everytime you use cash – or print your own to hand out!
See if any business will place either or both of the following signs on their front doors (from Freedom Rising):
————————————–
Contact Unity Health & Sciences Team to volunteer to distribute their professional brochures and Medical Doctor Packages throughout your home area, and to your medical doctor!
Not every doctor, analyst, and specialist is on the gov’t side and many have strong science and personal experiences opposing the gov’t narrative.
Even though COVID-19 restrictions are, for the most part, no longer in effect, other freedom issues have arisen as gov’ts use the cover of COVID-19 to introduce other more formidable liberty restrictions, including privacy violations.
Freedom is a multi-generational struggle – our legacy is to leave a better place for our children, not simply to quit after an issue appears to be over and anger diminishes; and of course, it rarely is truly over.
We urge you to provide designs (clear2012@pm.me) and/or your own signs for upcoming threats, including Digital ID
Digital currency and no cash
Climate change fraud
Further health, property, rights and freedoms restrictions
NOTE: Bill C-9 is currently in the Senate, to amend the Judges Act. I will discuss this in more detail in next week’s newsletter, suffice it to say here, that changes do not happen without a reason. This new legislation appears, at first glance, to make it even more difficult to get rid of corrupt or incapacitated judges, and removes the Minister out of the picture. In other words, it is creating another unelected body, with no minister accountable for its actions. More to come.
“Two high-level memos allege Beijing covertly funded Canadian election candidates”
Another Trudeau scandal. And rumours on Parliament Hill are alleging that he is possibly going to prorogue this session of Parliament after the budget is tabled.
“Alberta introduces firearms act to counter federal
anti-gun measures”
Interestingly, as David is now challenging the Constitutionality of the RCMP-BC agreements to permit the RCMP to police in the Province, Alberta is now considering restricting the RCMP as well to combat Federal policing incursions into their area of legislative supremacy.
Calgary begins to eliminate free speech. Hurting someone’s feelings, or talking in public in a manner someone else finds offensive, will now result in liability for bylaw charges and fines.
“COVID 19 mandates are political in nature and not based on science,” says Hildebrandt in the release.
“I am encouraged some Crown Attorneys are beginning to prioritize the prosecution of serious criminal and quasi-criminal offences. Prosecuting individuals such as Pastor Hildebrandt, whose wrongdoing was attending a public rally and giving a speech critical of government policy, has always been a waste of the court’s time,” said (counsel) Fleury.
On Family Day, a celebration called Family Fringy Day took place on a private farm somewhere between Hamilton and Cambridge, Ont.
The guest of honour: Christine Anderson, the German MEP, who is a quite the celebrity in some circles in Canada given her on-going criticism of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Given the freedom fighters in attendance, Anderson was unsurprisingly given a hero’s welcome at the farm when she arrived as a passenger in a big rig. She was greeted with cheers and was quite moved by the display of both Canadian and German flags.
This primary purpose of the event was meant to commemorate last year’s Ottawa Freedom Convoy. At first blush, it seemed odd that this gathering took place on a private farm closer to Steeltown than our capital city. But then again, we’ve seen how the Trudeau Liberals react to peaceful protests that run contrary to their censorious agenda.
Which is to say, this government has no problem fining, arresting, and freezing the bank accounts of Canadians in order to shut down demonstrations that they dislike. Alas, it would appear that freedom of expression in Canada is on the endangered species list; many Liberals, no doubt, would like to see it extinct.
While we would like to report that a good time was had by all, when it comes to those on the left who look upon freedom as the new “f-word”, such celebrations are… triggering.
Case in point: check out the jaw-dropping story in Cambridge Today headlined, “Cambridge MP condemns ‘Fringy’ Family Day as dangerous.”
Dangerous? What in the world qualifies a peaceful gathering as “dangerous” in the weird mind of Liberal MP Bryan May?
Nevertheless, May questioned the “true intent” of Family Fringy Day and what it was trying to achieve.
May said:
From the very beginning, the Ottawa occupation and blockades were about anti-government sentiment, more specifically anti-Liberal and anti-Trudeau.
Gracious! Anti-government and anti-Liberal and anti-Trudeau sentiment? Yes, that was the very point of the protest.
It should come as no surprise that May, a loyal Trudeau trained seal, is so tone-deaf. During the outrageous response to the pandemic these past few years, people lost their homes and their jobs and their businesses and were also coerced into taking an experimental vaccine. And May wonders why demonstrators were “anti-Liberal” and “anti-Trudeau”? Give us a break.
No surprise that MP May not only condemned Family Fringy Day but also took a pot-shot at Anderson in his Cambridge Today interview. May stated that Anderson’s “ideology runs contrary to Canadian values.”
Really? Like what?
Luckily, we were able to conduct an interview with Anderson in order to receive a rebuttal to May’s nonsense. She also had plenty to say about the Canadian freedom movement.
Check out our exclusive interview with this German politician who has the courage to call out corruption and chicanery.
B.C. doctor Charles Hoffe, one of the first medical professionals in Canada to be politically punished for speaking out against the “safe and effective” COVID-19 vaccine narrative, is facing an upcoming disciplinary hearing for allegedly spreading misinformation.
Dr. Hoffe’s troubles with state-backed media and his licensing body began after publishing an open letter to B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer, questioning how best to treat patients who he says experienced neurological-type adverse reactions to the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
Sadly, Dr. Hoffe isn’t the only one experiencing the consequences of going against the COVID-19 narrative and forced medical practices.
Doctors across Canada quickly realized at the onset that they no longer have the right to freedom of speech, or the ability to fulfill their medical duties. They are simply required to obey orders or face punishment.
I recently interviewed Dr. Hoffe to hear his side of the story and to find out what he predicts the outcome of his hearing to be.
Dr. Hoffe has years of experience practicing evidence-based medicine and will not go against his moral compass simply to satisfy the needs of our tyrannical COVID “health” establishment. His loyalty remains with his patients.
What happens when the Canadian medical association, our health institutions, and regulatory bodies no longer hold doctors ethically accountable nor prioritize what’s best for patients?
Dr. Hoffe’s situation is a scary reality of exactly that — as well as every individual harmed by the jabs, and stripped of their medical choice while being lied to about the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines.
The release of the Public Order Emergency Commission Final Report on 17 February 2023 continues to reverberate across the country. Witness Ryan Alford’s analysis that sees the report as promoting an unprecedented “crackdown on free speech” while noting that recommendations aimed at “modernizing” the reasons for invoking the Emergencies Act need to be rejected by Parliament. Then there is Jessie Kline who bluntly states the Report is a “slap in the face to Canadians” even as Rupa Subramanya declared that democracy in Canada “died a little” with the release of the Report. Could it be that all of this criticism, along with the C3RF analysis offered here, are confirmations that Canada is well down the path to becoming the world’s first “post-national state” with “no core identity, no mainstream in Canada.”
Rupa Subramanya, “democracy died a little” in Canada with the POEC Final Report
One could be forgiven for seeing a bit of an analogy between Trudeau’s call for Canadians to join him in celebrating a new post-national Canada and the age-old fable “The Frog and the Crocodile”. In the fable, the frog looks longingly at leaving his damp environs to traverse a snake-infested river to drier ground – in much the same way that Canada has come to look at “build back better” as the new utopia. Meanwhile, the crocodile offers the frog a ride to this new, dry utopia promising there will be no harm inflicted on the frog – in much the same way that Prime Minister Trudeau assures Canadians that transforming and resetting Canada’s economy will result in more jobs in a new, higher-tech economy. In a progressive and tentative fashion, the frog agrees to hitch a ride first on the crocodile’s tail and then on his back – ostensibly to allow the crocodile to better steer. Then the frog was convinced to ride on the reptile’s head for a better view and then, finally and disastrously for the frog, on his nose to help relieve an itch. And so it goes with Canadians as they are progressively nudged and coerced to give up their national sovereignty and civil liberties in order to realize a more sustainable and just world and be stalwart global citizens – like our Prime Minister!
Frogs and crocodiles – good traveling companions?
Canada’s journey from a free and democratic nation, primarily concerned with its own sovereign interests, to a post-national one can be seen as a progression from the tail, back, head and nose of a global beast. The jumping onto the tail of this behemoth can be seen to have occurred in 2015 when the Conservative government-of-the-day signed onto the United Nation’s Agenda 2030. Not to be outdone, the follow-on Liberal government, in the same year, would move the frog further along onto the back of the beast by signing onto the Paris Agreement. Agenda 2030 would commit Canada to prioritize its legislative efforts to accommodate the 17 Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) on the way to realizing a just world. The Paris Agreement would commit Canada to reducing its Green House Gas emissions markedly in an effort to hold global temperature increases to no more than 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels. Between the two, the die had been cast for Canada to forego the interests of its own citizens and embrace those of unelected authorities in faraway bureaus.
Did Prime Ministers Harper and Trudeau saddle Canadians up on the globalist crocodile in 2015?
To the crocodile’s head
As per the fable, the crocodile had to use its considerable powers of persuasion to get the frog up to its head. He beckoned by saying “Oh, come now. It’s a beautiful view! Surely you don’t think that I’m going to eat you after we’re halfway across.” The frog relented as he was curious to see the view from atop the crocodile’s head and they were past the point of no return anyway. Everyday Canadians, however, would be a bit more circumspect when it came to giving up their civil liberties to make good on globalized demands to accommodate mass migration, de-industrialization and vaccination programs. Indeed, when it came to immigration policies they would take a look at the lax and disastrous migration flows from the Middle East and North Africa into Europe in 2015 and express concerns. Did the new Liberal government realize that the “no-go zones” and violent crimes that were surging across Europe should be seen as alarm bells for Canada?
Canadians balk at traveling to the “head” of the crocodile due to safety and security concerns?
In the end, the government would have to forego persuasion in favour of nudging Canadians into acceptance through triangulation strategies designed to divide and conquer. And so it was that a very unpopular Motion M-103 was floated in 2017 to accuse Canada and certain Canadians of being “systemically racist” and Islamophobic. If rank and file citizens couldn’t be convinced to fall into line with globalist narratives they would bloody well be named and shamed into accepting them. One way or another, they would be coerced into making the journey to the crocodile’s head where they could better see the errors of their ways and atone. Naming and shaming, however, might get Canadians moving but it would not be enough to motivate the majority. Accordingly, triangulation efforts would be expanded to suppress inconvenient, fact-based counter-narratives.
Canadian House of Commons passes M-103 with little public support – too bad for us?
These inconvenient storylines would be rebuffed with campaigns that cited such speech as “hate”-based or mis/disinformation. And so we saw the advent of a “Digital Charter” to keep government-defined hate speech offline and legislation such as Bill C-11 to regulate your internet user-generated content. Such legislative efforts are proceeding in lockstep with many other initiatives from a wide range of institutional agencies that outright “cancel” the life and work prospects of wrong-thinkers. How else to explain the raft of medical doctors who have had their medical licenses suspended or canceled for offering patient-specific advice in contravention to the narratives being disseminated by their controlling colleges of physicians and surgeons? Then there are the teachers who lose their positions for questioning the woke narratives surrounding Residential School deaths. Some are even advocating such heretical speech be punished to the full extent of the law? Canadians would be herded to the head of the crocodile even if it meant the clock would need to be rolled back to the 17th century and the times of Galileo.
Heretical Canadians risk Galileo-like punishments for wrong-think?
To the crocodile’s nose
Getting the frog onto the nose of the crocodile would enable an endgame that would smash any dream of accessing a utopian homeland. Instead, the way would be open to effecting an intended reality that embraced not only the loss of freedom but a “terrific chomp” that ended the little frog’s life. In the Canadian sense, it became obvious that such a transition would require more than just a “nudge” or “controlling the narrative” as protests like Freedom Convoy 2022 made it obvious that everyday Canadians had some pesky questions that just wouldn’t go away. Shutting down such curiosity and concerns would require efforts that went beyond controlling the narrative to controlling the actual behaviours of Johnny and Janie Canuck. And so we see an accelerated rush to build global systems capable of surveilling and tracking the activities and movement of citizens respectively – systems founded upon digital IDs.
Digital IDs required to advance the globalist/ crocodile agenda?
The invocation of the Emergencies Act was instructive in this sense as it provided the backdrop that allowed Canadians to glimpse the real utopia that exists on the other side of the river – rather than the one that has been advertised to them. This was the case as the Act unleashed the federalized banking system onto the moms and pops who had the temerity to make $20 donations to Freedom Convoy 2022 “insurrectionists”. It did so by freezing their financial accounts regardless of their personal circumstances and without the due process guaranteed, until now, by the Charter. The fact that this draconian move struck too close to home for the comfort of those working with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to implement digital IDs for financial purposes was made clear when the Canadian Banking Association scrambled to escape blame. After all, it was their “legal obligation” to lock down accounts that the RCMP requested member banks to freeze. It would seem that the freezing of Freedom Convoy 2022 participant bank accounts may have provided an inconvenient and unwelcomed preview of what awaits hapless Canadians in the new post-national Canada on the other side of the river.
Angelina Mason, CBA General Counsel and VP, banks had a “legal obligation” to freeze accounts
The fact that the Liberal/NDP government of Canada is chomping at the bit to introduce digital IDs for all of us has been evident throughout the course of their handling of the Wuhan virus pandemic. Witness their working together with the WEF, the Netherlands and several airlines and airports to introduce a Known Traveler Digital Identification system and the tenacity displayed in keeping an ArriveCAN application in place even though it crashed Canadian airport throughputs. One might think that digital ID control measures are now a thing of the past as these initiatives have either stalled or been made voluntary. This is not the case, however, as we now see new efforts to implement them through Canada Health Transfer deals being made between the federal government and the provinces. The transfer of related funds will be dependent on the digitization of patient information in each participating province in accordance with Canada Health Infoway protocols – protocols that include an International Patient Summary dedicated to allowing for the transfer of your medical data, including vaccination status, worldwide. One might well surmise that the individual rights and freedoms of Canadians will be well and truly done if they jump onto the crocodile’s nose by accepting such digital ID initiatives. Chomp chomp?
Will digital ID put us all on the crocodile’s nose?
