The Freedom Convoy was peaceful and respectful, despite claims to the contrary

Posted on by Ken Winsor in Freedom Convoy

‘My everyday life has not been disrupted by any noise related to the Freedom Convoy during the day,’ said one Ottawa resident.

Must Watch: A Powerful Tribute To The Freedom Convoy

The Freedom Convoy To Ottawa was the greatest grassroots movement in Canadian history where everyday men, women and children of all walks of life, from every province, language, race and religion gathered to stand on guard for the country that we all love.

Canada came together like never before and inspired the world to take a stand against the overreach of governments everywhere. Our flag has once again become a symbol of hope and freedom to the world. Thank you to each of you who drove a truck, car or tractor and to each of you who stood in the freezing cold, waving your flag. You will not be forgotten and one day our nation will remember you as the heroes you are.

We hope this video gives everyone a fuller picture of what the Freedom Convoy was really all about.

OTTAWA, Ontario (JCCF) – The Justice Centre has challenged Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson over his accusation that peacefully protesting truckers are “a danger of major proportions that could result in serious harm to persons or substantial damage to property.”

Mayor Watson (pictured above) has not divulged publicly what facts he might rely on to justify his assessment of truckers as posing “a danger of major proportions,” in light of their law-abiding behaviour since arriving in Ottawa more than one week ago.

The definition of “emergency” under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act is “a situation or an impending situation that constitutes a danger of major proportions that could result in serious harm to persons or substantial damage to property and that is caused by the forces of nature, a disease or other health risk, an accident or an act whether intentional or otherwise.”

“This is a truly disturbing overreach and misuse of emergency powers,” stated lawyer Nicholas Wansbutter.

According to affidavit evidence filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Freedom Convoy has been working closely with the Ottawa Police Service, the RCMP, and the Parliamentary Protective Service.

It was one of the Freedom Convoy truckers who reported to the police a property damage offence and an assault, committed by individuals not affiliated with the truckers. Convoy leaders have asked all truckers to refrain from honking their horns between 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.

One of the witnesses in the court action has stated under oath that truckers and their supporters “are feeding the homeless on Wellington Street and filling their backpacks with food.”

“Truckers have taken a whole trailer full of food to the homeless shelter. Truckers are maintaining the cleanliness of city streets, including picking up discarded masks on the ground, centralized garbage collection, shovelling snow at the War Memorial and the Terry Fox statue, and decorating and providing security for the War Memorial and Terry Fox statue,” the witness said.

Another witness, an Ottawa resident, swore that “the truckers I have interacted with have, at all times, been friendly, courteous, humble, considerate and peaceful. I have not observed any aggressive or inappropriate behaviours.”

He said the truckers were diverse, including Sikhs, Blacks, Aboriginals and others. He “observed truckers decorating the tomb of the unknown soldier with flowers and guarding it” and had “not seen any violent or threatening behaviour.”

He further noted that “the truckers do not honk their horns at night. My everyday life has not been disrupted by any noise related to the Freedom Convoy during the day.” He asserted: “My ability to park and to travel in downtown Ottawa, or to and from Parliament Hill has not been impeded by the presence of the truckers.”

Another Ottawa resident, who works for Statistics Canada, described reality on the ground as follows:

“The protesters were peaceful and respectful, I saw no violence or harassment. I was not impeded in any way, and could walk about freely and safely. I did not see any hateful symbols, in fact, I saw an abundance of Canada flags and Quebec flags as well as countless signs calling for freedom and the end of COVID related mandates.

I did see some anti-Trudeau flags using harsh language. However, I would describe the scene as a peaceful, pro-freedom demonstration. My everyday life has not been disrupted by any noise related to the downtown demonstrations.”

“There is no factual basis to support the Mayor’s declaration of an emergency,” concluded Wansbutter

Hard Times | It Wasn’t Always This Way | Blog by Canadian Journalist Andy Lee

Posted on by Ken Winsor in Canadian Freedom Fighters

Andy Lee is a mother, former federal candidate, and an independent journalist who had gained a rather large Twitter following over the last year for her excellent reporting connecting the Trudeau Foundation to various Chinese Communist Party actors and organizations. Her work even triggered an investigation in the United States Senate.

This is her story

Hard Times: by Andy LeE

I wasn’t always this way.

Pre-pandemic – like many others I suspect – I lived a quiet, comfortable, relatively apolitical existence. My days were filled with activities and certainty – a life of carefully established routines ingrained into my being over the years. I wasn’t an activist. I wasn’t a researcher. I wasn’t anything of any consequence, really. Of course, in 2020, that all changed.

My mother passed away during the lockdowns. A brief remote goodbye was granted to me over a video call to a body already devoid of life, followed by a quick cremation in absence of a proper funeral. That was my goodbye. Rules were rules, not to be broken.

I realized then how wrong we all were, but I had yet to realize just how wrong we could be.

The more that I reflected on the panicked insanity building to a frenzy around us, the more I felt it. The wool was being pulled over our eyes. I had a growing awareness that something awful was happening. Nonsensical mandates, regulations, restrictions. Firings, school closures, taped-off playgrounds, snitch lines to tell on your neighbours. Headlines threatening arrest if you failed to comply. A fear-mongering media delivering a never-ending news stream of anxiety-ridden stories, browbeating us into reclusive submission for “the greater good”.

Days became weeks which became months which became years. Precious little changed for us under lockdowns circumstantially – we were in a never-ending loop it seemed, frozen in time. It was always the next wave, the next variant, the next something. I became a mere shell of my former self. We never seemed to quite reach the carrot dangled just in front of our noses by our government. We never had our freedom restored, not fully. No matter what we did, the promised return to the land of normalcy remained a pie-in-the-sky dream, close enough to almost taste, but just out of grasp. I don’t think they ever intended to allow us to regain it, really. We were fearful, meek, complacent, and utterly reliant on government handouts for our very existence. A winning recipe for a government with a penchant for control and overreach that holds extreme disdain for any sort of oversight.

“Things aren’t so bad,” our government assured us. “Trust us,” they said – “they are much worse in other places around the world. We are relatively free and unrestricted here in Canada. Be grateful for what you’ve got.”

The habitual claiming of consolation prizes has left us sadly apathetic towards higher achievements. There is no “relatively” free in freedom. We had ought to be the freest nation on the planet. Liberty is an absolute, not something to be placed on a sliding scale dished out in designated dabs by our government as we jump through the appropriate hoops, and other countries have picked up on this democratic backslide and have sounded the alarm as our civil rights circle the drain.

The feeling of wrongness, the knowledge deep inside of me that something was desperately amiss in our country grew and festered until I could handle bystander status no longer. I wouldn’t be here, writing to you right now, had our government relinquished their iron-fisted control over our population and just allowed us to be. In a way – they made me.

It begs the question – what else have they made?

They made Tamara Lich.

We didn’t speak for very long, but we didn’t have to. It was the early days of the convoy back then. She, like me, knew something was going wrong. It was a spark. Something I wanted to help nurture and kindle into a flame that would perhaps light a fire under the apathetic inhabitants of our country. Something that could awake the nation from its slumber. I don’t think either of us fully comprehended what would transpire next, or that she would go on to lead one of the most powerful, successful protests ever seen against discriminatory government measures, one that captured the hearts and minds of a shell-shocked people all over the world. For the first time in a long time, a sense of rightness was restored within me. I had hope.

Now, she’s back in jail, mere days before the celebration of our national holiday, but sent a message from her cell out to all ahead of the weekend – a gentle plea to remain peaceful. Indeed – it was the inherent innocence and peacefulness of her protest that made it such a wild success, and we will do everything in our power to honour that and keep them so.

They also made James Topp.

As law enforcement cracked down on demonstrators in the streets of our capital, smashing glass and dragging determined Canadians from car windows to be cuffed and tried for fighting for what they believed in, quietly, without much ado at all, a man named James Topp departed from Vancouver in the dead of a harsh Canadian winter.

A war veteran who served twenty-eight years in the Canadian Armed Forces, dishonourably discharged for speaking out against mandates whilst in uniform, the soldier marched across our vast country with almost no attention given to this incredible feat by our media at all.

Like Tamara and I – he knew something was wrong.

The more I learned about James and his team, the more I came to admire them. The spark within me that was extinguished was rekindled. Composed and calm, he is a steady, likeable character, gathering a following as his march across the country proceeds. Arguably as successful as the truckers were, he hosted a series of meetings in Ottawa recently attended by Members of Parliament, in the hopes of opening a respectful line of dialogue, one where the fringe group of unacceptables – a group actually encompassing millions of Canadians – finally had a seat at the table and a say.

As he closes in on Ottawa, the old crowds are coming back I see. People are once again lining the streets, waving their Canadian flags with pride. I’ll be out meeting him on the road, to document the last legs of his incredible journey, and to see if once again, we can nurture that spark, that feeling that we all sorely miss – hope for a return to normal – and ignite a flame once again.

They know we are coming – we told them as much, and the lengths the City has gone to prevent any of that old fire from returning has been nothing short of extraordinary. New troops and recruits, fences and concrete blockades, along with signs, notices, warnings and releases stating there will be “zero-tolerance” – the bombardment has been nonstop. They respond to our messages put out on social media almost immediately, leaving no doubt in my mind that the surveillance state is well and alive and already here. The nervousness of twitchy officials is palpable, and the harder they frantically push back in aim of subduing demonstrations, the smaller and more pathetically desperate they appear.

What are they afraid of, exactly?

The former claims ring hollow of economic damage caused by the convoy protest, as there were to be open borders, no blockades, and no impediment of traffic, businesses, or people over the Canada Day weekend – not at our hands, in any event. It seems indeed that they are terrified of the very concept of liberty itself. This isn’t about economic damage. I doubt it ever was.

It’s about quelling dissent.

They say hard times create strong men, and weak men create hard times.

As Justin Trudeau’s popularity plummets and he loses the confidence of the country to govern, and his policies create rough times for good people while the cost of living skyrockets to levels not seen since his father was in office, I would unarguably agree that weak men do create hard times.

And, if the government continues to hold fast to the god-like powers bestowed upon them by the pandemic, and continues to descend deeper into the provocative pit of authoritarianism, those hard times will inevitably create more of us.

I won’t soon forget, the Covid Draconian Measures forced on Newfoundlanders by Dr. Janice Fitzgerald

Posted on by Ken Winsor in Covid-Hoax,

At no time during her daily Covid briefings or social media posts did Dr. Janice Fitzgerald -CMO ) @CMOH_NL Newfoundland’s Top-Doctor encourage Newfoundlanders to pay attention to a healthy lifestyle, all she did was instil fear with her newfound draconian power to force vaccines and masks mandates on people, and most went along with it, without question.

People were terrified of the virus because of all her fear propaganda.

Some thought of her as some kind of saviour.

In 2021 she was even awarded thousands of dollars for her effort during the pandemic.

However, she was no different than any other of the so-called top doctors in Canada.

The media propped her up 24-7 on local media outlets.

And now that the narrative has fallen we see almost nothing of her anymore.

But, just because she’s gone away, the damage to the lives of Newfoundlanders hasn’t, and will only get worse in the not-too-distant future.

Given what we know, there is a burning question in the minds of many people like myself, will doctors like Dr. Janice Fitzgerald ever be held accountable, and punished for their crimes?

( Do No Harm )

Her Twitter account avatar is still a cartoon image of her wearing a mask.

Living in the fringe….a message from an Uncancellable humanitarian

Posted on by Ken Winsor in Canadian Freedom Fighters

Living in the fringe….a message from an Uncancellable humanitarian: Written by Newfoundland Freedom Fighter. Dana Metcalfe

Let me start by saying I write this for my lovers my haters and those that have no understanding of who I am, and what I fight for with the amazing people that walk the path beside me. This is a message from the hearts of millions around the world that shout into the echo chambers of misinformation, and government propaganda in the most divisive time of our existence.

The path we walk many could not venture, most people are struggling to survive not only through the biggest fear campaign but the biggest attack on how we live, our health, our systems, and our minds. Most people are busy surviving themselves struggling to find the strength to get up and face the day leaving little energy for self-care and struggling for normal functionality. Just because people cannot speak, cannot hear, and cannot see does not mean they are not with us. It just means they are depending on us even more.

Over the last two years, we have been made out to be villains and rebels defined as being those people or the fringe minority. We are far from any of those things we are humanitarians, doctors, police, scientist, military and people that see without the influence of paid media spending time critically researching the breakdown of our systems of health, democracy, agriculture, international relations and maybe one of the most unsettling is the family unit. If you cannot see these many honorable people trying to show you through love compassion, kindness, and hope standing up against the propaganda machine that has programmed us for our entire lives. We are afraid to and holding our breath for a better world. Turning fear into energy stepping into the unknown sacrificing everything isn’t an easy decision. Nor is it popular when the message we share paralyzes us with disbelief of reality. Even though most people can feel and see there is something wrong.

Ask yourself this question who is making money and who has sold themselves. Who has sacrificed and struggled beside you and who is thriving?

Being the ones who have chosen to fight has come with many challenges, many tears, many broken relationships,s and many sleepless nights. Trying to find a way to break a system we’ve been in that most people don’t even see. It’s an enemy that we cannot face and at times feel unreachable. We remind ourselves daily that all we have to do is our small part and all of these small parts have more power than any other force on earth. We are far stronger than we believe and healing our lives may not require a pill or poke but rather a change in perspective, an opening of eyes, joints of hands, and a strong message of simply saying NO! No more!

We are not racist, we are not anti-gay, and we are not white supremacists! Those words are spread to prevent you from seeing the real in the people that stand against them! We don’t have millions of dollars or paid programming, we don’t have doctors on payroll, or any means of physical defense. Our weapons are the truth and voices! We do this risking everything in hope that we have a chance for a better future this is a gamble that we are making for you and your families.

Standing up is the only option for some of us and we apologize for the discomfort it causes and how uncomfortable our truth is. In time as this insanity progresses don’t forget we are here humbly waiting to support you and your families. Excited about each new hug and new friend! There are no I told you so here just open arms waiting for the world to wake up so we can set the wheels in motion for not only healing the world but the beautiful people who chose to be here. Even if it takes us one hug at a time! We are committed and if this is the hill we must climb then we will do it with courage, faith, love, kindness, hope, and inspiration!

We are the light even if many chose to sit on the beach under a tree wearing glasses until the sun goes down!

Just don’t forget we are here!

Ches Crosbie – NL Election 2021 – The worst-managed general election in modern Canadian history

Posted on by Ken Winsor in Newfoundland and Labrador

Author: Ches Crosbie

Former Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador.

On the heels of the worst-managed general election in modern Canadian history, I resigned as Leader of the Official Opposition and Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party. I have generally maintained a low profile and not spoken to on public issues since, as seems appropriate for a former political leader, but issues of grave importance to our democratic rights and freedoms bring me to speak out.

In the run-up to the NL general election of March 2021, I was a member of the consultative All-Party Pandemic Committee of the legislature. As time passed, the Liberal majority on this Committee seldom consulted and provided very little information. This election was severely compromised by Covid restrictions, which by the end of the election period saw the abrogation of in-person voting.

The gross mismanagement of the election by Chief Electoral Officer Bruce Chaulk should have caused the Liberal government under Andrew Furey to bring Chaulk before the House and dismiss him for incompetence. But doing this would reflect poorly on the legitimacy of the government, which had squeezed through the election with a three-seat majority, so yet again the government failed to do the right thing — by dismissing Chaulk.

Bruce Chaulk has further disgraced himself and his office by becoming the subject of an investigation by the Citizens Representative into rumored widespread harassment of staff. Public knowledge of the report was further delayed by the government’s appointment of former Chief Justice Derek Green to conduct yet another report into Bruce Chaulk. I understand this report has been given to the House Management Committee.

By the time all this process has run its course, Chaulk will have come to the end of his six-year term of office, and the issue of his misconduct will be moot. Which is no doubt what the Liberals want.

The investigations into Chaulk do not directly concern issues of irregularities and fraud which may have destroyed the validity of the election, so the public may never know whether and what fraud and irregularities occurred — but wait! Three controverted elections challenges are wending their way through court. These actions, taken by PCs Jim Lester and Sheila Fitzgerald and NDPer Alison Coffin, are the public’s only hope for insight into whether the electoral process was lawful or not. These actions will likely be in trial and the evidence become public this winter.

As important to democratic rights and freedoms as election irregularities may be, the unjustified declaration of a national state of emergency may be more important. On October 13 a Commission of Inquiry will start hearings into the federal government’s February Declaration of Emergency. Written contributions from members of the public are invited as an important part of the investigation.

https://publicorderemergencycommission.ca/share-your-views/#address.

The cut-off date is October 31, but earlier contributions are encouraged.

Anyone who is concerned about governmental overreach should email the Commission with their views. An edited version of my own submission follows. I hope it may stimulate you to think about the issues and make your own submission.

Democracy encourages diversity of opinion, and I don’t expect all readers will share my view that the goals of the Freedom Convoy were expressed through lawful and peaceful democratic means, or that the declaration of a national emergency was unjustified, but this is your opportunity to state your views in a respectful way to readers of this post and to the Commission of Inquiry.

THE REQUIREMENT FOR A NATIONAL EMERGENCY IS NOT SATISFIED

The invocation of the Emergencies Act by the federal government was not based on a “national emergency” as defined in s. 3 of the Emergencies Act. Specifically, there did not exist an “urgent and critical situation…that cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.”

Members of the Senate of Canada with whom I spoke at the time, shared my conviction that there was no national emergency. Senate skepticism of government claims and of the existence of a national emergency, caused the government to repeal its emergency proclamation on February 22. The government was about to lose the Senate vote.

No police force advised the need for emergency powers. Border traffic issues were in resolution, as were problems of noise and traffic in Ottawa.

GOALS OF THE CONVOY

The goals of the Convoy were contained in the Dichter statement made on February 15, 2022

The Freedom Convoy is a peaceful and loving demonstration based on the principles of unity and respect for all Canadians. We have come to Ottawa with two very simple demands: one, the government end all Covid mandates, and, two, the federal government remove its digital Covid tracking app called ArriveCan as a requirement to re-enter Canada.

More than seven months later, the federal government has at last acted on these demands, although both the travel mandates and the ArriveCan tracking device are only suspended.

Available information confirms that the goals of substantially all Freedom Convoy supporters involved upholding the constitutional rights and freedoms of Canadians through peaceful means of expression.

Many Canadians believed that governmental repression of fundamental liberties had gone far beyond the needs of any rational public health response to a respiratory virus. Before 2020, Canada and the provinces adopted carefully considered plans for responding to a respiratory virus pandemic, which plans sought to maintain calm and ensure that life continued in as normal a fashion as practicable while protecting vulnerable people. Governments almost immediately panicked and abandoned these plans in favor of inciting fear.

The infection fatality rate from Covid-19 was known early in the pandemic to be comparable to seasonal flu, although more severe for those over age 70. (See e.g. Ioannidis in Bull World Health Organ 2021 http://dx.doi.org/10.2471/BLT.20.265892)

Moreover, by February 2022, the milder Omicron variant had become dominant. The repressive governmental response was grossly out of proportion to the risk, and many Canadians knew it. Governments were finally giving up the impossible illusion of Zero Covid, and the working-class movement embodied in the Freedom Convoy was a front-line expression of the frustration and concern of Canadians at an explosion of authoritarianism, which resulted in economic and social destruction with no offsetting benefit.

IMPACT OF FUNDRAISING

The spectacular success of crowdsourced fundraising is strong evidence that Canadians supported the spirit of the Convoy and its protest against authoritarianism. Canadians expressed democratic dissent through their wallets. I myself made a financial donation to support the Freedom Convoy. Cybercriminals stole the identity of donors and published them.

The de-banking of hundreds of individuals, haphazardly targeted by the government as Freedom Convoy supporters, is particularly alarming. I could have been targeted for de-banking myself. So could anyone who attracted unfavorable government attention. This was a particularly dangerous abuse of extraordinary powers against legitimate peaceful dissent.

CONCLUSION

The Prime Minister or his representative could have met with non-violent protesters and diffused any unstable situation which may have existed but chose to promote fear and divide the country instead. Despite the government’s divisiveness and desire to undermine the cohesion of Canadian society by promoting fear, there was no national emergency. The Senate of Canada confirmed there was no national emergency.

Tom Marazzo – A man of ‘Intestinal-Fortitude’ and ‘True Grit.’ Author, Canadian Veteran and Freedom Fighter

It’s very unfortunate that I only know Tom Marazzo by following his social media activities, however, from what I learned I hope to meet this great Canadian who I have very much come to admire and respect.

I could go on here, but I think it best to let the contents of this blog speak to the quality and truth of this man.

MEET TOM MARAZZO

Tom Marazzo Author of The People's Emergency Act

Tom Marazzo has been dedicated to serving Canadians since 1990 when he joined the Army Reserve, while still in high school. Eight years later, he enrolled in the Regular Force Army and was granted the commission of Combat Engineer Officer, soon rising to Captain. Tom worked in the Division Engineer Office in Toronto where he participated in the G8/G20 Summit in 2010. While in the military, Tom earned a Diploma in Construction Engineering Technology and Architecture, and an MBA. He has been posted to various locations across Canada including New Brunswick, Petawawa, Kingston, Toronto, London, Ontario and Trenton.

After 25 years of service, Tom retired from the Armed Forces in 2015. He completed a 4-year Bachelor of Technology Software Development degree and immediately began teaching at a Community College in Ontario until September 2021, when he was fired for questioning the legality of vaccine mandates, via a campus-wide email to the president and members of the college faculty.

Determined to stand for the rights and freedoms of all Canadians, Tom became a volunteer of the Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy 2022. Trained in battle planning over many years, Tom’s tactical and strategic advice was instrumental to the safe and responsible achievement of Convoy objectives. His experience was integral to the coordination of truck movements and logistics, as well as negotiations with Police Liaison Teams from the city of Ottawa. A member of the leadership team, Tom acted as the main spokesperson, holding press conferences almost daily. The incredible success of the Convoy can be measured by the mandates removed in the province of Ontario.

No longer able to remain silent, Tom felt a deep sense of duty to serve as a conduit for people that believe in the integrity and ability to turn our political landscape around. To serve the people of Canada, Tom ran as an Ontario Party Candidate in the 2022 Ontario provincial election.

Tom is a devoted father to his son and daughter. He lives off-grid in Eastern Ontario, Canada.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Witnessing Canadians losing their inalienable human rights is not something to ignore or abide by. Tom’s
unwavering commitment to Canadians is the reason he’s writing a highly personalized and detailed
account of his life experiences leading up to, during, and in the aftermath of the Freedom Convoy.

The People’s Emergency Act: Freedom Convoy 2022

©Tom Marazzo 2022 · “Coming Soon”

The People’s Emergency Act – Freedom Convoy 2022 – Book Trailer

“In January 2022, heart-centred Canadians put our livelihoods on the line and trucked across our country in the bitter cold, to uphold the Rights and Freedoms of ALL Canadians, because of unreasonable mandates being imposed by our Federal and Provincial governments. Mandates that violate: The Constitution of Canada, Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, The Privacy Act, The Nuremberg Code, and multiple others. 

Millions of Canadians saw what was happening to humanity and were not going down without a fight, so three weeks before Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergency Act of 1988 on legal and peaceful protesters in Ottawa – we, the citizens of Canada stood up in an emergency act of our own, holding the line in solidarity against the tyranny being imposed on us.”

TOM MARAZZO

Tom Marazzo: Imagine the country we could be, if the Government didn’t dominate our opinions, or use police to enforce their decrees.

Canada would fulfill its promise.

Perhaps the viewers will steer the direction of the media, someday, when the loss of media trust is demonstrated through unprofitable subscription levels.

PM JUSTIN TRUDEAU’S 4 YEARS oF ACCOMPLISHED FAILURES.

Posted on by Ken Winsor in Justin Trudeau

By Howie Mandel

PM JUSTIN TRUDEAU’S 4 YEARS oF ACCOMPLISHED FAILURES.

By Howie Mandel

Here’s a list:

-Your minister of finance engaged in insider trading – should be a 10-year sentence.

-You blew the Asia Pacific deal.

-You blew the helicopter deal with the Philippines.

-You blew the pipeline deal (he’s now trying to save himself from it).

-You blew the deal with China.

-You blew the deal with Europe.

-You invited “irregular” immigration into Canada and the taxpayer foots the enormous bill for it.

-You alienated the United States – our largest trading partner.

-At the G7 you pledged $400 million to Education around the world along with another $180 million to the Global Partnership for Education in Europe. None of it is going to fix our messed-up school systems here at home. Meanwhile, education costs are skyrocketing for our youth making university a mountain too high for many to climb.

-You pledged $241 million to Family Planning around the world including a $20 million donation to the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation (because they have integrity!). This all happened while you told veterans that they were asking for too much.

-You pledged $2.65 billion to climate change at the Commonwealth Leaders Summit and now you’re trying to bully the provinces into new taxes to pay for this pledge.

-You pledged $300 million to the Rohingya Refugee crisis while we have a refugee crisis of our own flooding into Quebec that you won’t address.

-You pledged $125 million to Caribbean Reconstruction while our own infrastructure in cities is falling apart.

-You pledged $650 million to Sexual and Reproductive health in Haiti and around the globe wanting safer abortions for women while many women in our own country are left without a family doctor.

-You pledged $50 million to Palestine for flood relief when NB had some of the worst floods in decades this past spring.

-You pledged $840 million to Syria for Humanitarian Assistance when half the native reserves in our country don’t have clean drinking water.

-You gave $10.5 million to a convicted…CONVICTED terrorist in a backroom deal that has led to another $30.8 million paid out for three others who say they were wrongfully detained.

-You spent $4.5 billion on a 65-year-old pipeline, and now the courts have ruled it shut down. Now it’s back on (at a delay cost of $250 million) – a good investment for Canada you said? (And KM uses that money to build a pipeline in Texas)

-You pressured Jody Wilson Raybould repeatedly & INAPPROPRIATELY with several different high-ranking officials to offer SNC Lavalin a DPA instead of prosecution for repeated & sustained corruption AFTER the former AG had determined they were ineligible for such a deal. You lied about the above having ever taken place.

-You replaced Canada’s old F-18s with Australia’s old F-18s.

-Your bizarre love of all things Castro.

-You imposed tough regulations and taxes on oil from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland but not oil from Saudi Arabia.

-Every new project has to undergo strict environmental assessments…except cement plants in Quebec.

-You said that a proposed pipeline must consider “the intersection of sex and gender with other identity factors” (what does that even mean???)

-You think older Canadians should be replaced. How is -that moral?

-You chase foreign companies (and their investment capital) out of the country like they have the plague.

-You chased our WW1 soldiers out of our national anthem… lest we forget.

-You continuously use identity politics…then complain about identity politics.

-You forgot Alberta was a province.

-You called small business owners “tax cheats”.

-People voice concern over money spent on illegal immigration and you call them intolerant racists.

-We have an equalization program, but you give half of it to one province.

-You spent $8 million on a skating rink (vanity project) when Canada’s largest skating rink is 500 meters -away.

-You added tens of billions to the national debt while lying to Canada’s face about it.

-You groped a woman and when caught – laughed about it (MacLean’s interview) and said she experienced it differently.

-You elbowed a female MP while dragging another MP by the arm in a petulant huff.

-You renamed Fishermen to “Fisher-folk”

-People kind? (international embarrassment)

-You got India to invest $250 million in Canada but we have to invest $750 million in India first.

-You compared returning ISIS terrorists to Italian immigrants and said they will be an extraordinarily powerful voice for Canada.

-You let terrorists keep their Canadian citizenship.

-You spent $212,234 on the artwork for the cover of the 2017 budget report.

-You think Canada is 100 years old instead of 150.

-You spent upwards of $348,000 on food and alcohol in five flights on our government’s plane. On your G20 trip to Argentina, you spent $103,000 on food and alcohol alone. How is that even possible?

-You gave Canadian taxpayers’ money to Hamas.

-You voice outrage over fake racist attacks and say nothing about real terrorist attacks.

-You took 10 vacations in a single year. Who does this??

-You spent a little over $1.5 million on the trip to India that did nothing but worsen ties. Plus paid over $17,000 to bring an Indian chef to India to cook Indian cuisine. And to top it off, invited a convicted attempted assassin to dinner and posed for pics with him.

-And you’re the only PM convicted of ethics violations. (multiple times in fact)

-You allegedly destroyed the career of one of Canada’s honest military leaders to cover up possible massive government corruption in shipbuilding contracts.

-You invited Joshua Boyle, an alleged perpetrator of sexual assault and unlawful confinement for a photo shoot in the Office of the Prime Minister.

-You threaten to sue the leader of the opposition then chickened out when you realized that your alleged crimes would be exposed in court.

-You offer over $600 million dollars in subsidies to failing mainstream media outlets if they can prove to be trustworthy. You put a union that vows to destroy your opposition in charge of selecting these new “trusted” sources to receive funding. You could school the Russians in election interference.

-You pay off your friends to engage in election ads for you and get Elections Canada to pay for it.

-$200 million to Loblaws for new refrigerators.

-You made public statements of deep admiration for Chinese communism.

-You wore preposterous, inappropriate costumes during a state visit to India, paid for by Canadians.

-You were instrumental in handing WE almost $1 billion for work that could be done by regular already established operations…your mother and brother received over $300,000 from WE for short speeches that normally do not receive payment.

-You have been instrumental in allowing a company with strong communist party ties to perform communications and security work with our embassies.

What moral, functioning Canadian human could possibly justify voting for you?

Well, my answer to this question: All the Canadians who have been busy watching all the “wrongdoings” of Donald Trump! Why don’t we impeach Trudeau instead?

Unvaccinated Canadians Defy Stigma in Viral Twitter Trend

Many Canadians have been taking to Twitter to post their portraits and bios since Sept. 13, saying that because of their choice to remain unvaccinated they’ve been tagged with derogatory labels.

Martin Bélanger from Alberta says he posted the original tweet that started the trend on Tuesday morning.

“I’m a 55-year-old Canadian. I’m married, father to 4, university educated & perfectly bilingual. I’m an engineer, solving problems for 35 yrs. I’m a volunteer hockey coach & an avid outdoorsman. According to Trudeau, I’m an extremist who needs to be dealt with,” Bélanger wrote on his account.

Bélanger told The Epoch Times he posted his message after watching a video of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in which he made derogatory remarks about the unvaccinated.

“I had seen that video hundreds of times before, but for some reason on Tuesday, it made me angrier than usual and compelled me to post my story. It took off from there,” says Bélanger.

The video is from when Trudeau gave an interview to a French television station in September 2021.

Trudeau had said there are “people who are fiercely opposed to vaccination, who do not believe in science, who are often misogynistic, often are racist.”

“There are not very many of them, but they take up a lot of space. … As a leader, as a country, do we tolerate these people, or do we say come on?”

The format used by Bélanger went viral, with Twitter identifying the topic as trending over a few days.

Bélanger says he’s been caught by surprise by the phenomenon.

“Literally tens of thousands of people posted their story, and it resonates with many because it’s a simple message,” he says.

“We’re all Canadian, we all have a story, we’re all worth listening to. It’s a message for all politicians, not just Liberals. Don’t take us for granted, and stop trying to divide us.”

He pushes back against assertions on Twitter that what he started is an orchestrated political campaign.

“How can I orchestrate this?” he asks. “I work as a contractor in oil & gas. I don’t even have a political party membership.”

Canadians Need Proportional Representation not Colonialism – Not First Past The Post – Make Every Vote Count

Posted on by Ken Winsor in Canadian Politics

What is proportional representation?

Proportional representation (PR) is a principle that says the percentage of seats a party has in the legislature should reflect the percentage of people who voted for that party. If a party gets 40% of the vote, they should get 40% of the seats.

Under our non-proportional voting system, a party can win a majority of seats and all the power with far less than half the popular vote. Proportional representation ensures that majority governments have an actual majority of the voters behind them. Under our non-proportional voting system, in most elections, most voters don’t elect anyone to represent them. They don’t affect the election at all. Their votes are “wasted”. This is what leads to distorted results.

With proportional representation, almost every vote helps elect an MP. Almost everyone is represented. With proportional representation, every law passed will have the support of MPs representing a real majority of voters. That means better policy decisions for everyone.

Broken Promise – The Video Justin Trudeau Doesn’t Want You To See.

Learn more at http://www.fairvote.ca After repeating his key election platform over 1800 times, Justin Trudeau sent his newly minted Minister of Electoral reform out in front of the media to break his promise “To Make Every Vote Count” (only proportional representation can make every vote count).

The backlash was immediate. Citizens across the country rallied against the undemocratic decision and the unfair voting system that rewards parties with 20% of the vote in certain ridings, and 100% of the power.

In the 2015 election, the Liberals enjoyed the support of 39% of voters but half of those voters voted in ridings where an opposition party won.

20% of voters elected the 184 Liberal MPs that currently have 100% of the power.

Justin Trudeau and Pierre Trudeau: A conversation on electoral reform

Created by electoral reform supporters in Saskatchewan and Guelph to mark the anniversary of Justin Trudeau’s broken promise to make every vote count.

Electoral Dysfunction and Reform | Elizabeth May | Mahe every vote count

Why does Canada use a voting system that allows the minority of voters to elect a majority government? How does 39% of the vote translate into 100% of the power? How does a voting system that allows a micro-targeted riding-by-riding campaign style lead to negative campaigning, toxic politics and a hyper-partisan, never-ending campaign replacing governance?

Most modern democracies use some form of proportional voting. Canada has a once-in-a-generation chance to improve the quality of our democracy, enhance the power of voters, and ensure that never again will we have a prime minister wielding extraordinary powers, essentially an elected dictatorship, supported by only a minority of voters. It is time for fair voting.

Petition details: Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas: Canada’s electoral system from its very inception has always been a first-past-the-post (FPTP) system, unfairly resulting in either a Liberal or Conservative government with virtually no opposition, and no impact on the popular vote leading to distorted Canadian values;

Proportional representation is a principle that says that the percentage of seats a party has in the legislature should reflect the percentage of the people who voted for that party so that if a party gets 40% of the popular vote, they should get 40% of the seats;

In the 2021 election, the Liberals had 32.62% (winning 160 seats), the Conservatives 33.74% (winning 119 seats), the Bloc Québécois 7.64% (winning 32 seats), the NDP 17.82% (winning 25 seats), the People’s Party 4.94% (winning 0 seats) and the Green Party 2.33% (winning 2 seats);

Under a FPTP system, like the current system in Canada, a party can win a majority of seats and all the power with less than half the popular vote;

Proportional representation (PR) ensures that majority governments have an actual majority of the voters (popular vote) backing them;

Many other countries such as Germany, Italy, Ireland, New Zealand and the Netherlands have progressed from a FPTP system to a PR system; and

Many American states are seeking to implement ranked-choice voting so that all votes are calculated.

The UK, Australia, Germany, and Italy have all changed to a vote that is based on the number of voters, not seats. Our voting system has been in place since the 18 hundreds.
