The Great Dividing Range https://www.worldatlas.com/mountains/great-dividing-range.html

In the current Information War, we may run into old acquaintences who express distress when they find that for the past few years, our information sources have diverged greatly from theirs.

This letter is in response to someone sharing a sense of disappointment to discover the content of our sister publication. For this person, a presentation of the data that speaks against Health Canada’s COVID-19 mitigation strategies must immediately be written off as “anti-vax” and deemed “just complete nonsense and foolishness”.

Hello….

I see your tension around discovering that I am sharing what some describe as “anti-vax” stuff -- so much so that it appears you would like to stop further communication between us.

Sadly, you say you are deeply disappointed. It appears you have been led to believe that NOT TRUSTING what Big Corp and Governments want us to believe is foolish and nonsensical!

I had mentioned to you the mental health struggles one of my relatives lived with for most of her adult life. A major part of her story was related to interactions with certain very commonly used medications. Clearly, while some products result in the desired medical effects in some people, in other people, they can cause a lot of harm. That is why physicians often need patients to go through trial and error before finding medical products that are safe and have the desired effects for their particular physiology. I actually have multiple relatives with the same underlying condition. Those who were prescribed certain medications throughout their lifetimes ended up experiencing a cascade of horrible symptoms that those who remained free of a particular “Red List of prescriptions” did not suffer from. In fact, one of the symptoms is sudden, inexplicable death — a fate that befell various people in our family tree until this pre-existing illness/underlying condition was discovered and understood and triggers could be avoided.

So I was shocked to learn that NO medical exemptions would be granted for the mRNA Covid shot. Period. Imagine forcing every child with a peanut allergy to take peanut butter in order to enter or exit schools, gyms, buses, etc. Why was the right to leeway and to consideration of individual differences taken away? Why was a “one size fits all, no matter what” approach to bodily diversity considered a best practice for public health? When had that ever happened before? When before were medical professionals who followed the Nuremberg principles of ensuring informed consent prior to medical treatment ever been penalized with loss of their license to practice? We are discovering that this is not a one-time emergency thing… in BC, the power of the state to overrule the autonomy and professionalism of both medical and legal professions is rapidily advancing. How many “mainstream” outlets are reporting on the impact of changes set to kick in on April 1 of this year? (The same news can be expressed by the official agents to sound legitimate and benign while on the other hand, courageous professionals, like internationally renowned human rights lawyers, can point out major harms and dangers that are being kept from public view. See https://bchealthregulators.ca/new-health-profession-legislation-comes-into-force-on-april-1-2026/ vs. https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/i/167691056/health-professions-and-occupations-act-equally-totalitarian)

When it comes to gender issues or cultural expressione, we are always so big on diversity these days ...why were we so closed-minded when considering the diversity of bodily needs? Why force ONE SINGLE untested and unproven substance on entire populations independent of their varying risk profiles?

Why were certain top medical doctors offered million dollar bribes? Dr. Paul Alexander, who had formerly worked with the WHO, and also in a top level medical position in the USA, reported on Pfizer’s attempts to buy his silence—something he roundly continues to condemn.

Early on, Alberta Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Dina Hinshaw was involved in a court case that was NOT reported by mainstream media. Someone had posted her sworn affidavit, as to the extent of known knowledge re: the “novel” virus at the time. Even I as a lay person knew so much more about the topic by that time, having followed university researchers, professors, top medical doctors nationally and internationally...especially those who documented the patent record and showed that patents on components of the virus AND the vaccine had been filed via Dr. Fauci’s operations months and years before the virus was suddenly discovered in the wet markets of Wuhan. Why was all their info kept from Dr. Hinshaw? Which other public health official was caught on a hot mike saying something like “I just sign whatever they tell me to sign?” Why were news outlets not reporting major developments as they were announced in international medical circles? Why do so few Canadians know key events in the global COVID-19 timeline compiled here: https://totalityofevidence.com/pandemic-timeline/?

I guess you thought I wouldn’t see the foolishness or nonsense in claims like these:

• This product stays in the arm (when high school biology class taught us how the circulatory system continually moves fluids around the body).

• This product is safe, for example, for pregnant women (when the manufacturer insisted that NO PREGNANT WOMEN be allowed in the study; when pages of known adverse events regarding their product were released and circulated widely; and when top of the line biologists, virologists, etc. could explain better than anyone in government what actually happens at the molecular level once these products enter the body. Also, when it is clear that our top public health officials made statements that were the opposite of reports they had on hand at the time - these are just some of the stories being omitted from state- and corporate-backed media, but they are very real nevertheless).

• Injecting instructions to MAKE trillions of copies of spike proteins into the body is a good idea. This claim was made when it was already long known that spike protein was the most toxic part of the whole SARS-CoV-2 virus. The petri dish tests at the Salk Institute reached that conclusion long before Canadian government employees and others were mandated to take the shots— but this was not reported on in Canada. Major prominent CBC and CTV alumni like Trish Woods, Rodney Palmer https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/witness/rodney-palmer/, Donna Laframboise, Marianne Klowak https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/expert-witnesses/ and more have been pushed out of their positions and/or are choosing to report on independent platforms instead. These are certainly not folks you would accuse of believing “foolishness and nonsense”. It’s just that their information has also been censored out of mainstream news. So you likely never heard it.

Now that you are hearing this through me possibly for the first time, you might not know what to do with the horrible feeling of uneasiness that this information is bound to engender in anyone who hears it. It is natural to direct the discomfort against the messenger, instead of the message. Believe me, I have done this too, when I first heard information that didn’t fit inside my own understanding of how the world works. Back then, my reaction to the message was to categorize the messenger as simply being “too weird”. I wrote the person off as no longer having any credence — even though I had previously thought highly of her. I admit I rejected her thinking and didn’t speak to her for years. We so easily reject that which simply doesn’t fit into our mold, our box, our template. That is much easier than looking for ways to shape our template or stretch our mold in order to fit in ALL of the new information. (By the way, I now totally get where she was coming from already decades ago! She was just always ahead of my learning curve!!)

We are all familiar with talk about bullying. Consider what it means to be bullied by your own government doing the bidding of the corporate state. If you ever wonder where my loyalties lie, it is with those who continue to be bullied by the state, maligned and ignored by the mainstream media etc. Those WHO DID TAKE THE SHOTS (they were not antivax) and who now live a lifetime of pain, poverty and distress. Where are the doctors, employers, insurance plan managers, citizen advocates, etc. who apply wholesome Canadian values to ensure that these injury victims are properly cared for? Global News did decide to do a series on a few of them... finally, but other than that, it appears no one dares cover their stories. Why not? Why the defeaning silence?....https://globalnews.ca/news/11645707/50m-vaccine-injury-support-program-still-failing-injured-say/. (I have them listed here: Breaking the Taboo on COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Injury Victims - It is High Time to Talk About This! and here: How Ethical Whistleblowers are treated in Today’s Canada...Lawfare, Defamation, Deplatforming, Debanking, Delicensing etc.).

I have communicated via email or directly face to face with many of the dissenting scientists, including top PRO-vaccine researcher, Dr. Byram Bridle. He is the ON vaccinologist who had the contract to develop Canada’s version of the mRNA platform COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Bridle started speaking out when he discovered Pfizer’s own documentation from the Japanese regulator demonstrating how quickly the lipid nanoparticles encasing the mRNA instructions left the arm and entered into many of the organs, particularly the reproductive organs. When Dr. Bridle started warning fellow vaccinologists globally, he was brutally treated by many fellow disbelieving academic and administrative staff, barred from stepping on campus for 3 years, 4 months and 23 days, forced to teach and direct research projects from a distance, not able to even enter his own lab. I have also spoken directly with Dr. David Speicher whose research backed up findings by the human genome project lead researcher Kevin McKernan. This research identifies high levels of DNA plasmids and the cancer promoter gene SV40 in the Pfizer vials, contamination that should not be present and that drives very rapidly growing cancer tumours, even in children. To have anyone unknowingly assume that all these researchers are “anti-vaxers” shows how repeated barrages of fear-based messaging and intentional misinformation can have a deleterious effect on one’s critical thinking.

Anyway, I do appreciate you honestly letting me know where you stand on these matters at the moment. On any topic, we never know what we don’t know, until we somehow get to know it. There is a lot I don’t know about topics related to your skills and passions. And until reconnecting with you and hearing what moves you these days, I wouldn’t have given these topics a moment’s notice. Now, my curiosity is piqued.

Have you heard about Impact Canada? That is one of the Behavioural Science units imbedded into various federal government departments, 500 workers no one knows about whose job it is to “nudge” us into believing certain things? Or about the AI tools being used to determine that… wow, “anti-vax” posts are “extremist” and “corrode social cohesion” as allegedly do any number of other “anti-liberal” views...How is that for legislating “group think”?

I pulled this together for you and others: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/bill-tracker-mailing-list-march-6 - a compilation of about 3 weeks’ worth of my writing based on worries, research and writing by a number of concerned citizens whose voices are not being widely heard.

This does not sound like the Canada we thought we lived in. Welcome to the era of a technocratic, managerial state. All real in today’s Canada.

And this coming week our Prime Minister is ordering a halt to the debate on Bill C-9, the Bill to stop so-called Hate Speech by issuing undefined forfeiture clauses and lengthy jail terms for alleged speech crimes. Here again, we have a knee-jerk reaction to uncomfortable information. Instead of following those who encourage wide discussion and debate, we are to applaud putting viewpoints into a “one size fits all” type of box.

Great. :-(

But I don’t want to only be a downer.

I will sign off, wishing you all the best in your future as well.

It was fun reconnecting briefly, bringing back memories of bygone years when life seemed so much simpler. Back then, we had our worries, but we never could have predicted how things would look now, so many decades later.

It is now up to us to make the best of the current situation, each in our own way!

Cheers,

…..

NOTE - A new interview with Premier Smith as well as comments from a former school board superintendent have been added on October 22.

Here certain voices are actively censored out of societal discussion. See a contrasting drawing further below…

Hello everyone,

Congratulations on letting your name stand for the position of school board trustee. This category of elected official is often very overlooked in election news coverage despite being super important.

Regardless of whether you are voted in or not, I invite you to take the time (after election day) to give some attention to the following:

Having relevant facts and figures at hand is a great antidote to having teachers’ compassion being weaponized and exploited by those trying to use the current strike for political gain or to destabilize society. However the article makes little mention of the curriculum change putting pressures on elementary teachers at this time without the support of teaching materials. Teachers unable to independently churn out brand new and effective teaching and learning materials on a daily basis (on top of lesson planning, marking, reporting and supervision duties) are paying out of pocket to sites like “Teachers Pay Teachers” in order to make do with off the shelf worksheets. This full scale curriculum change should have been delayed until a robust collection of integrated teaching materials has been developed centrally. And this curriculum follows a definite decline of competency development among students due to all the disruptions related to Covid mandates - a factor not considered, for example, when it was decided to move grade 4 Social Studies content into the grade 2 curriculum!!

Another factor not included in the number crunching article noted above was Alberta’s decision not to replace federal funding under the “Jordan Principle” which allowed schools with certain numbers of indigenous students to hire more educational assistants (EAs). I am told that a school in which 30% of its students are of Aboriginal heritage has now had to let 11 federally funded EAs go, leaving major gaps in many classrooms.

• I invite you also to listen to this recent interview of an Edmonton high school English teacher. She works at a school with no prep time for teachers, a 40 minute lunch break, and a very high number of English language learners (ELL) and students coded for special needs support in each of her 4 classes. She begins her day with a class of 33 in which 13 are classified as needing special consideration and adapted learning plans as ELL or coded students. The same 1/3 to 2/3 ratio continues in block 2 in which 10 out of 30 students need special attention. Her third block contains only 2 out of 32 coded students (a ratio considered “normal” just a few years ago). She ends her day with a class in which 19 out of 37 students (51%) need the extra support for language learning, psychological conditions, learning disabilities, etc. (I personally also became aware of an urban junior high school (grades 7-9) in which one classroom now needs to seat up to 38 students.)

• Read also this repost of an earlier summary of the postal strike pointing at how the Union doesn’t actually put forth the concerns of the workers... essentially encouraging you to keep up the task of listening widely in order to understand complex issues at play made difficult in today’s culture clash of “virtue silence” “insistent pushback” versus those trying to express views once understood as “common sense”. https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/updated-csn-press-room-unaddressed

The Adverse Effect of Media Censorship

As a retired high school teacher from Edmonton, I have five main concerns about the high level of media censorship in our country. These issues relate to our schools, and I encourage you to consider how you would respond if these topics came up at an education event or board meeting.

A - More re: the ATA vs AB Ed & labour action...

- Someone shared with me the words of a former school board superintendent long retired. He is commenting on the current situation as follows: I’ve stayed relatively quiet during the ongoing teacher dispute in Alberta other than sharing my understanding of the issues to those who may require a bit of clarity. But as a retired superintendent, who by the way negotiated for both sides of the table, my blood is beginning to boil. I’ve listened to many teachers and parents and to say the least their frustration is growing exponentially. I don’t think I would be wrong in stating that Premier Danielle Smith and her ruling party want to put an end to public education. Never before in my 40+ years in education have I witnessed a government so anti-teacher and ultimately anti-education.

The ongoing teachers’ strike in Alberta is a direct reflection of the government’s failure to respond to the legitimate and pressing concerns of those entrusted with the education of our children. At its core, this labour action is not merely about compensation—it is about professional respect, the integrity of public education, and the deteriorating conditions within Alberta’s classrooms.

Teachers have consistently voiced their concerns about unsustainable class sizes, insufficient supports for students with diverse needs, and workloads that have expanded far beyond reasonable limits. These are not complaints of convenience, but calls for action to preserve the quality of education. When educators are stretched beyond their capacity, it is students who ultimately bear the consequences.

This government’s reluctance to address these issues in a meaningful way is deeply troubling. It signals a view of education as a cost to be contained rather than an investment in the intellectual and moral fabric of our province. Alberta’s prosperity has always been tied to the strength of its public education system—a system built on the dedication and expertise of its teachers.

If we truly value our children’s future, we must value those who guide and inspire them every day. It is time for this government to demonstrate leadership by engaging sincerely with teachers, addressing classroom realities, and reaffirming education as a central pillar of Alberta’s success. Anything less is a failure of vision and responsibility. (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7385678064506105856/)

Meanwhile, former CBC host Travis Danraj and his show partner interviewed AB Premier Danielle Smith on their new show “Can’t Be Censored”. At the six minute mark they discuss the Alberta teacher’s strike and the Alberta government’s views on a number of the concerns:

As always, we need to seek out the views from many perspectives and ask critical and clarifying questions, instead of taking the words from our preferred side of any argument when sharing news stories on contentious issues.

Here are a few more of my own thoughts and questions:

- I question why the ATA is silent on the situation in which recipents of Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) find themselves. Yes the ATA only represents teachers, but they do not teach in a vacuum. If we want Albertans to respect teachers, why are we not showing concern and respect for the plight of fellow Albertans dealing with severe disabilities including those related to diagnosed mental health disorders? While teachers may be focussing on how no amount of money can replace the hit on their salaries caused by rising inflation, are we looking at the combined impact of benefit clawbacks, forced reapplication, concurrent rent increases, not to mention skyrocketing food and utility costs for those reliant on government benefits while struggling with intense pain, lack of timely healthcare access, social isolation, etc.? Our silence speaks volumes, as does the desire of teachers to turn down salary offers that would be seen as pure gold by AISH recipients under the poverty line. For more, see https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/csn-press-room-disability-claw-backs

- And is making space for divergent voices high on your list of priorities? Do you commit to allowing parents and other members of the public to come to board meetings, bring information that may be counter to board initiatives, to hear them out and to seriously take their contributions under advisement when making decisions, particularly when the contributions included evidence-based material? Also, do you commit to allowing space for such views from among fellow board members? It has become a hallmark of “polite society” to declare critical voices as “misinformed” and “hateful”. I am looking for elected representatives who have the needed intellectual curiosity to be open to information they are encountering for the first time. To retract into the known, and dismissing the “strange” does not bode well when needing to make determinations for a wide sector of the population. Are you open to news and information sources that can be very diverse, i.e. divergent from what you may be surrounding yourself with currently?

Please see this post for more on this angle..... https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/csnews-opinion-piece-why-we-should. See also this parallel post for municipal candidates. I am also encouraging them to break out of existing news bubbles to become more familiar with a full range of diverse perspectives.

B - What do you think needs to be done to support that cohort of children who suffered the most as a result of Mask Mandates interfering with their early language development? They would be moving into grade 1 or 2 by now. Are you aware that as a result of widespread delays in language development, the CDC dropped its standards by a full 6 months? “Is it a coincidence that on February 8, 2022, the CDC updated its developmental milestones for infants and young children for the first time since they were first released in 2004? This included dramatic changes to expected verbal developmental milestones, lowering the expected verbal skills by 6 months.” https://brownstone.org/articles/time-to-unmask-the-truth/ I wonder how aware you are of this issue and how it impacts teaching and learning in Div 1 these days.

You might also be interested in this testimony that focuses on “third bucket students” those who basically missed jr. and sr. high school during the declared pandemic, except that that cohort is no longer in the school system now. https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/witness/dr-irvin-studin/

C - Given how Canada has purchased 500,000 doses of avian influenza vaccines for humans (way more than needed for all of Canada’s poultry farm workers combined) and given all sorts of attempts at readiness for “Disease X”, it is important to become familiar with analyses of public policy followed by governments during COVID in order to avoid similar mistakes in the future. Are you aware of the existence of the independent national citizens’ inquiry into a) governmental responses to the COVID crisis (from 2023 and in Regina in 2024) and b) the question “Are Children Safe in Canada?” (Vancouver 2024 and all the 2025 hearings)?

See: https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/hearings/ See also the recommendations put together by the panel of independent commissioners based on what was learned via the over 300 expert and lay witnesses. Recommendations re: the Education system during a declared pandemic are found starting in sections 7.2.5 and 7.2.6 here: https://nationalcitizensinquiry.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/FINAL-REPORT-Volume-1-2-Inquiry-into-the-Appropriateness-and-Efficacy-of-the-COVID-19-Response-in-Canada-December-21-2023.pdf

Additionally ALL of the commissioners’ recommendations coming out of the Vancouver 2024 hearing on the question of child safety should be of great interest to all educators and trustees. See https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/commissioners-vancouver-report/.

Also of paramount interest, particularly in school boards mandating certain vaccinations as conditions of enrolment - this deep dive into the medical publication industry. As more and more revelations come out re: what was done and not done in the vaccine approval process, it is incumbent upon educators and trustees to be informed. The documentary “An Inconvenient Study” should be seen by all who deal with policy making as well as the question of what to do about increased numbers of students with auto-immune, neurological and other conditions in our classrooms.

D - Have you given thought to how the school board, its member schools and all the local communities can focus on preparing themselves for increased financial uncertainty moving forward? This as the majority of the world’s population moves away from the US Dollar as its reserve currency and for trading, preferring instead to trade via the BRICS trading system which uses gold backed currencies. Another source of crisis will come once Europe implements its digital central bank controlled and surveilled digital Euro. This fascist collaboration between corporate surveillance and financial control is moving ahead regardless of the political position of governments. I invite you to learn more here by listening to interviews with Chris George, Andrew Sleigh (25 mins in) Todd Calendar and Alex Newman. I am sorry I have to be this blunt, but it is important that the board is warned of what appears to lie ahead. Stop C-293 Rumble Channel

Note also the documentary referenced by a number of these speakers: The Agenda: Their Vision - Your Future (2025) | Full Documentary

E - Given that provincial and federal emergency planning departments were shut out during the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be interesting to read a handbook written to help individual citizens deal with emergency planning. Perhaps strategies mentioned here could be applied at a school board level as well. The People’s Emergency Plan: A Civilian Guide to Structured Emergency Planning

F - To what degree do you, as trustees elected in support of public education, see yourselves as enforcers or enablers of restrictions on freedom of expression? If you have not heard of the book by ON lawyer Lisa Miron on Workplace Speech Committees, I would highly recommend it to you. https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/csn-press-room-new-book-on-workplace Miron shares the stories of many who are carrying out essential whistleblower functions and end up losing their jobs through systems meant.to enforce group think. The interview with municipal councillor Lisa Robinson posted here: https://rumble.com/c/c-7679360?e9s=src_v1_cmd demonstrates the power of the silencers these days. Many voters are looking for candidates who are not afraid to stand up to group think and who don’t just consume information shared by government and corporate backed news agencies.

In an era of “professional misconduct” investigations for speech, we note that it is often well-intentioned decision makers who bump into firm and fixed policies written WITHOUT a willingness to consider and learn from a wide range of ever changing evidence. Voters are not looking for dogmatic adherents to fixed policies but rather trustees who are open minded to new incoming information, able to admit errors made in the past and willing to have policies changed based on local current realities. I, for example, have yet to hear from my previous employers that they now understand the information that many of us “resistors” were already accessing over 4 years ago. And that they regret not having had the intellectual curiosity to give our materials more consideration. And not having had the courage to stand up en masse and requiring more PROOF to underpin the POLICIES they were tasked with carrying out.

Remember PM Jean Chretien’s famous “A proof is a proof” comment? (”A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It’s a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it’s because it’s proven.”) We now live in an era when independent scientific proof can be “debunked” by corporate-backed “fact checkers” with an agenda, where truth tellers are stripped of their professional designations and/or means of employment, even admitted to psych wards or held in prison without bail (In today’s Canada).

As far as I am concerned YOU ARE AT THE TOP OF THE LADDER...

“Trustees are elected representatives responsible for governing public, separate, or francophone school boards in Alberta.

They ensure that educational services meet community needs and comply with provincial legislation.”

And YOU are to select, evaluate and hold your superintendent to account. And if provincial legislation is flawed (for example in the case of COVID-19 mandates) I would like trustees who are principled enough to resist. The recent order by an independent indigenous tribunal on the topic of mRNA injections should stand as a warning for every decision maker who is being told that whistleblowers are to be defamed, “debunked” and delicenced. https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/breaking-news-covid-19-mrna-injections

It is up to YOU also to push back against directives from the other stakeholders that negatively impact the children of the families you have been elected to represent.

G. Returning to the topic of young people, I highly recommend you take a look at the essays written by former Assistant Deputy Minister Perry Kinkaide to introduce each of his 7 webinars featuring a youth panel. He was essentially given the microphone to young people who were jr. sr, high school and post secondary students during the declared pandemic. He asked them to look back and comment on their experiences and to share any recommendations they might have for educators. Perry’s writing is absolutely beautiful and will be chock full of insights to inspire educators and trustees everywhere. Issues #218 to #225 deal with the Youth Panel. This was followed by a 9 week series on AI - also with amazing introductory essays. The next series will focus on curriculum or other projects to creatively try to combine the ARTS and the SCIENCES. Search KINKAIDE here https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/s/press-room to find my attempts to inform people about his work.

In the coming weeks I plan to start putting up Media Literacy materials in the Lesson Ideas section of Canadian Shareable News and to invite teachers to share with me how they might be able to put the materials to use in their classes.

At that point, I will appreciate everyone’s efforts to let teachers know of the opportunity to see and use materials that may be unique in Canada. I will be looking further into the reality of censorship, which I often refer to as “blockages in the information trail” as outlined here: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/letter-to-journalists-re-effects.

For example, graphics like these on Perspective Selection might be helpful even to you in your work....

In order to improve the quality of journalism in Canada these days I have also proposed a series of draft Critical Balance Reporting Indicators as described here: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/i/155156171/the-indicators-of-the-critical-balance-reporting-test-draft. My hope is that Canadians, including you, can make a quick habit of scanning incoming news reports firstly for the presence of more than one viewpoint. Additionally you can learn to look for contextualization, data evaluation, independent reporting, and data transparency. Any reports that fail to include most or all of the indicators need to be supplemented further. NO POLICY DECISIONS can ever be made solely out of “trust”. Should you be voted into represent me/us, I will be expecting you to demand more, better and balanced information in advance of each policy decision.

Thanks for reading this far. I encourage you to follow Canadian Shareable News so that moving forward, you get information in sizeable bits at a time, as I know here I have been forcing you to “drink from the firehose”!!

Sincerely,

Hannah Noerenberg, B.Ed. M.Ed.

Social media group discussion pages are a great way for people to connect around topics of interest. Often, groups are have settings that restrict others from joining, which can lead to “group think” and a rejection of “contrarian” views. Unfortunately, with word count limits etc. longer contributions to ongoing discussions often need to be truncated and posted in multiple sections over time making communication difficult. So I will use this Opinion Column set up to share my message to the chat channel…. with the intern of sharing just the URL later. Feel free to link people to this space if you too think the information here needs to be shared!

Alberta teachers have just turned down a contract offer from the provincial government. (We used to negotiate board by board, but over time this switched to a provincial negotiation process directly with the provincial government.) Recently, approximately 700,000 students and their families heard the news that their teachers had turned down the latest contract offer and that a teachers’ strike could start as early as next week, giving little time to arrange for childcare, etc.

For Edmonton students, in particular those with special needs, this hits hard, as earlier in 2025 they needed to cope with strike action by their educational assistants. On average, Alberta’s education support workers are only paid $34,500 per year while Edmonton EAs receive only $26,400 per year.

So I could tell, on the social media channel I have been following for nearly 5 years, that there were tensions in the discussions. Someone new seemed to have entered the discussion expressing different viewpoints.

I am also aware of how very much teachers, school administrators and all of their school colleagues, from the educational assistants, to office and caretaking staff and everyone else working in the schools are standing smack dab in the middle of the storms of life. They are the go-to people for our children and youth during their hours away from home.

From turning to school secretaries when in need of a bandage for cuts and scrapes received on the school playground, to turning to teachers and counsellors for career inspiration and guidance or to their nearest EA when facing panic attacks about upcoming exams and to their favourite caretakers for jokes and humour at the end of a long day, our young people receive quite a bit of nurture and support inside the schools they call home for a good chunk of their waking hours.

School staff need to find a balance between standing firm and being gentle when engaged in managing conflicts, in selecting teaching content, and when they get home, in balancing their professional demands with their private lives.

I realize full well that there is often next to no time in the evenings to recover from the feeling of being stretched too thin all day long, and of not enough hours of sleep before we need to be “on” and “in service” again the next morning, day after day. (There is even zero time to devote to reading long posts like this one during the week!)

In the midst of all of this come the labour disputes that no one really wants and from which no one ever truly benefits. As per usual, labour disputes are quickly being used by those with a political “us versus them” agenda.

Schools are at the front lines of any and all social upheavals in society. The Climate Wars. The Culture Wars. The Financial Wars, plus actual military wars and speculation of potential nuclear escalation... Our educators are right where the rubber meets the road. Refugee children shell shocked by the horrors of what they have had to flee, children of those lured to Canada by promises of a better economic future which are not materializing, children in families driven to division by the stress of making rent or mortgage payments, or by draconian over the top COVID mandates, on the brink of losing it all. Young people alienated from society during the COVID lockdowns, now addicted to social media influencers and their toxic divisiveness, driving them to make decisions unthinkable just a decade ago.

Politicians and policy makers and school board officials and front line staff are often unaware that their compassion and caring could well have been weaponized. They may be unaware that causes they support could somehow have been hiacked for other purposes.

Remember the 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement? It was co-founded by Micah White, who in the mid 1990s was working with Adbusters Magazine to shine a critical light on our corporate-driven consumer culture. He and his fellow social activists successfully grew the Occupy Movement to have scores of young people camped out in front of corporate offices tying to make a point that society should put people before profits in a real structural way. Few people know he ended up himself being co-opted and becoming part of the very machine he was trying to expose. Few know that when he was given the title “Agenda Contributor” for the world’s largest corporate lobby group, the World Economic Forum, he joined the ranks of the CEOs of influential multinational corporations and globalist influencers.(Other WEF “Agenda Contributors” include the uber-influential Bill Gates, George Soros, Yuval Harari.)

This would not be the first time that those who “rage against the machine” have been co-opted as part of the “machine.” Teen environmentalists have no idea that the investors of the “green” energy companies they are wanting the planet to switch over to are the same investors who profit from fossil fuel-based energy companies. (We can teach our students to search up: “Largest manufacturers of solar panels” for example. Then “Who owns” + company name? Then look on sites like stockzoa.com to follow the investment chains. Note that corporations like Larry Fink’s BlackRock invest in nearly everything that matters. And that its CEO is now co-chairing the partner organization of the United Nations (i.e. the WEF), ready to assist in the implementation of Agenda 2030.) Like the war time destruction of a nation triggers a lot more business for building and home appliance companies, sponsoring an activist-driven war on any type of product, triggers a lot more business investment in whatever is to replace the technology. The CEOs at the top the corporate investment chain, are less concerned with the problem and reaction. They are simply eager to be assured of endless streams of sales in the new market for their latest “solution.” Driving up demand artificially by lobbying governments as customers is just the latest version of engaging voices to naively pound the “save the planet drum” and reject contrarian scientific evidence.

And now we have teachers with job security and health benefits focussed on demanding fairness and respect for themselves in their situations. Can it be that they too might be getting used by those interested in creating further division and chaos in our society? It seems to me that things were working fine in the pre-Ralph Klein days when teachers negotiated locally. Centralizing negotiations means a larger pool of victims when things go badly. It also means imposing a “once size fits all” type of contract demand in across the board without considerations for the local economic and societal conditions. Society is increasingly moving to a centralization of everything under technological control. And to expanded monitoring of divergent opinions on issues that matter.

Outlier voices are increasingly being rejected instead of embraced as part of the diversity of human experience. One of those outlier voices was formerly an insider in the “machine”. Ex-pat American economist and former Catherine Austin Fitts was introduced to many Canadians when she testified before the independent citizen-run inquiry into the government’s COVID-19 response back over two years ago. You can listen to her testimony or download and skim through the transcript here.

As the former Assistant Secretary of Housing, and Federal Housing Commissioner at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in the first Bush Administration, her voice is an important one, given all the talk about increasing the pace of home building to match the heightened rate of immigration to Canada.

More recently, Austin Fitts joined forces with some very insightful thought analysts and put together a talk, a web page and even contributed to a documentary on the current stat of affairs. Together they demonstrate the weaponization of basically everything… the use by the few of any government official anywhere on the spectrum, to implement a frightening agenda.

I have attempted to notify others of the themes of technocratic and fascist control over some in the West by others in the West, but now, thanks to the materials by Austin Fitts and others, talk about the OMNIWAR - the War on Everytihing for the benefit of a very few, is much more convincing. I invite all readers to take a look at the PDF version the slides used in presentations from just a year ago (Sept 2024), or view some of all of symposium video: https://www.technocracy.news/omniwar/. In addition, this citizen action site also pulls together related information snippets. https://theylied.ca/Technocracy.shtml

The very recent announcements re: Oracle, Paramount/CBS and earlier news about Palentir/Amazon/Open AI/the US Military when combined with efforts in Europe to move ahead with the track and trace mechanism of a digital Euro and Canada’s head over heals passage of bills that supersede everything (like C-5) or shut down dissent are coming at us with dizzying speed have a chilling overall effect.

Bill C-8 does away with privacy shields and mandates telecommunication companies to track, record and reveal Internet access records, and C-9 gives some people the power to censor others even more than before. See this computer generated summary of party positions on C-8 https://openparliament.ca/bills/45-1/C-8/ and a few snippets of discussion around C-9 here: https://openparliament.ca/search/?q=Bill+C-9.

Anyone concerned about increased attempts by governments and their tech partners to limit viewpoints might wish to follow ReclaimTheNet.org for dismal, yet eye-opening stories such as the following:

Compare the coverage of C-9 in this publication with how it is being discussed in government-funded, corporate-backed Canadian news outlets.

Look up Bill C-9 2025 on www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/search/ —> Nothing related in the top 10 results. Ditto on Global News and the CBC (oddly this term leads to news on the Paralympics). Interestingly, the topic is not foreign to the National Post: https://nationalpost.com/search/?search_text=Bill+C-9+2025.

So now, on a social media channel set up among a subset of Alberta educations there were comments that someone with a “contrarian” view should NOT belong there.

I am sharing my reply here as it would not fit within the limited parameters on the channel.

~~~~~~~~~

Please, let us not harass those with other viewpoints and try to get them “off the page”. I just gave a presentation yesterday re: media literacy. And I spoke about a retired teacher in France in the 1980s who would regularly read three different newspapers (a leftist one, a right wing one and a centrist one).

Naive me, I asked him why bother reading all the news three times? He said “to know what my neighbours are thinking”. He showed me how the same news gets interpreted differently by people with different perspectives and to make good decisions, one needs to draw from a wide base of perspectives and knowledge.

This is how things should be, starting with the three different sets of glasses:

The voices and perspectives of all should become part of the pool of public discourse. While we may object to contrarian viewpoints, we need to be open to understand why and how our fellow citizens may have come to hold the views they have. What in their lived experience makes them hold to viewpoints so different from ours?

This is where we are going, and increasingly with technological means at our disposal, (or at least at the disposal of the “elites” moving into positions of governance over us) shutting out voices different from our own will be increasingly do-able, yet at our peril. Don’t be the red X.

By trying to drive someone with a different viewpoint “off the page”, we lose out on what our neighbours are thinking. This is precisely the problem with a nearly 90/10 % vote split -- I bet most of the 90% choosing to reject the offer made to teachers over the weekend have no idea what the world is thinking.

At the very least, were the 10% even listened to? Or were they subtly ordered “off the page” or did they self-silence in the school staff room, fearing that their “contrarian”views would be pinned to them as problematic for the duration of their careers?

Yes, teachers work hard. Yes everyone should be fairly compensated for their efforts. But firstly, is it fair that our educational assistants only receive one third of what we as teachers get paid? Where were the teacher voices when EAs were dealing with their labour issues? How could we teach indoors while our EA friends and colleagues were trying to stand up outside in the cold — attempting to stand for fairness and improved learning conditions for our students?

And secondly, where is the teaching profession when it comes to our fellow Albertans reliant on government benefits for the severely handicapped known as AISH? Where are there ZERO hits on the ATA website for the term “AISH”? What about our union locals? Are we speaking out as recipients of AISH are getting monies clawed back in this province? These fellow citizens are on the thin line of homelessness as their rents are going up as their AISH benefits get clawed back AND as they learn they will have to PROVE their eligibility again next summer, after just having had to have their doctors fill in the paperwork for them this fall (often at costs out of reach for most anywhere from $50 to $500.) They would have JUMPED at the kind of increase teachers turned down and many are now committing suicides and trying to turn to MAID from the stress and uncertainly engendered by who knows who in the Alberta government these days. These are the grandparents, parents and other relatives of many of our students living in low income situations, while we teachers stay silent on the topic.

(I keep thinking it must be an error, that there is NO hit on the ATA website for the term “AISH” while scores of families and individuals in Alberta struggle with clawbacks and policy reversals …..https://teachers.ab.ca/search-results?qu=AISH We as an collective of educators cannot simply stay silent about 70,000 of our fellow Albertans, whose lives surely intersect with at least a certain segment of our school population. Especially not when we are so vocal in our support for other subsets of marginalized populations. Did you know there there is also a family AISH category? Children of disabled parents would ALSO be in our schools and are likely quite nervous these days given the lack of respect AISH recipients are facing and income cuts they are dealing wit, as we speak.)

For more background, please start here, although I plan to post an updated story soon.

Yet another concern that comes to mind as I wonder about the 90/10% split is how similar it is to the last time Alberta educators seemed to mostly follow a very captured and one-sided version of the news back in 2020-21. And where also roughly 10% were getting uncensored news that gave them a much broader understanding of the world.

How many folks turning down the proposed 12% increase in the hopes of somehow squeezing out something closer to 30% are aware of the inevitability of a major economic crisis to prepare for soon? Remember the saying, “A bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush”? Sometimes settling for the lesser possible instead of the greater ideal is a compromise that needs to be made.

Here is information that continues being blocked out of major news circles in Canada: As the majority of the world’s population moves to gold-backed currencies like the Chinese Yuan and away from the US dollar, the US has gone to an unsustainable tariff regime to try to keep itself afloat. People are already discovering calculations looking at how much money governments may save as life expectancy goes down, i.e. how many fewer social service benefits and pension dollars would be saved with fewer “golden years” at the end of people’s life spans.

Are you are of credible international predictions that excess mortality rates will continue being elevated till 2033? (This refers to more people dying of all causes than was the case in 2019 and before.) This could well mean fewer working aged people paying income taxes to pay for the teacher raises above and beyond what was offered. Are you aware how following the roll out of the second COVID-19 injection the highest rates of mortality were among the WORKING AGED population (i.e. those impacted by vaccine mandates as conditions of employment)?

So with fewer working aged people to work and pay taxes, other than opening the door to more economic migrants continuing to arrive and to be a strain on resources like school and health care faster than those resources can be provided, there seems to be no way forward.

UNLESS we open our minds to other perspectives and ideas.

Looking for a map to explain my thoughts, the first one that came up was interesting in and of itself, but is not the purpose of my writing here:

So just looking at the red/orange areas we have the “West” (North America and Europe minus Australia) following a different path than the rest of the globe.

Just as large parts of the globe are looking away from “the West” for their health care policies, they are more or less moving away from a $US dollar-backed economy.

As Europe moves to a digital Euro, Canada and the US will likely follow. I am hearing that they were just waiting for Europe to “catch up”. But the question is, will this new digital Euro be gold backed? Will Canadians want the insane amount of data collected on them that has so far been proposed? These could included

• birthdate

• health records

• driving record

• social insurance number

• tax bracket

• gun owner certificate

• financial credit score

• and many more…

The US dollar is currently built on nothing more than speculation … one of the reasons for the Trump 2 administration’s attempt to rebuild the manufacturing base in the US in particular is tied to the BigPharma and the Military Industrial Complex. Are you aware that European countries are deindustrializing at a phenomenal rate? They are under the tenure of young global leaders trained by the world’s largest corporate lobby group. Is it odd that they are not making better decisions?

Mainstream, corporate-backed, government-funded media outlets are NOT looking into the clash of interests being served. It appears that government leaders are torn between serving the interests of corporate connections and serving the interests of the ordinary people who would rather keep their earnings at home instead of turning them over to the governments for further investment in the corporate bottom line. Or not? In the case of our Prime Minster, his unwillingness to disclose the nature of his role at the top of the banking cartels or his full current investment portfolio shows on whose side he is…

See how an ever growing number of BRiCs and Belt and Road countries are no longer reliant of $US, despite what key cartel thinktanks are reporting. Learn more here. https://substack.com/home/post/p-174837207

By trying to demand “respect” by turning down any size of salary increase IN THIS TIME and IN THIS global financial CONTEXT, by not supporting the strike action of our underpaid educational assistants or our postal workers, by not using the collective teacher voice to support our fellow citizens living with disabilities in this province, by holding fast to a “me first” attitude, teachers are only hurting themselves. (

Yes, they have lost of purchasing power in these inflationary times, but so has everyone else. Yes they have to pay a big chunk of income taxes, but so do most other people in the same earnings bracket. Only those who with an entrepreneurial spirit and who are running their own businesses can write off various expenses for a reduced tax rate.

Sorry for the rant but let’s work together and be willing to hear and learn from the “odd man out” re: what the world outside of the 90% teacher bubble is thinking. Let’s ask those with contrarian views why they hold them, what experiences and knowledge have they gathered that the rest of the bubble-dwellers can learn from ?

Long-form interviews of subject matter experts by citizen-journalists IS the wave of the future.. that along with the use of UNCENSORED AI tools to compile information following a plurality of formats and perspectives.

I often think of you all, trying your best to hold fast in the storms of society all around you. All this is impacting the kids that show up in your classes every day and you are trying to stay strong for them while maybe even feeling yourself weakened from the effort. And now the labour action wars... pulling staff this way and that even more…

Here is hoping that until the winds subside, you can all remain grounded in what is personally important to you and what gives you strength.

Way back in the past, I remember us telling students to visualize themselves where they want to be, visualise themselves winning the race, or succeeding in the job interview. I guess now we all can try to visualize ourselves as strong, firm and peaceful in the midst of the storms around us.

Thanks for reading this far.
I hope that while some of what I wrote might be uncomfortable at first, just knowing that there is a who media ecosystem drawing upon the insights of reflective people OUTSIDE of the mainstream corporate/government backed media was one thing that helped me stay rooted and not be blown about by winds of worry.

Knowing, for example, that other wise investigative journalists like the CBC’s Trish Wood has turned a critical eye to “conventional news narratives” (i.e. Left vs right divisiveness and fear mongering) has been very helpful too.

See the nearly 300 episodes of “sense making” of our world, that she has already prepared, just for starters. www.trishwoodpodcast.com

Assuming the strike goes ahead and you want to use some of that time to catch up on your news watching, I suggest looking at this post in which I outline the need to get out of the left-right dichotomy and understand something far more relevant to our time…

In 2023, the Canadian government outlined policies around the identification of Foreign Actor Interference (FAI). They were obviously looking at terrorist groups backed by nations with potential hostile interests.

Given the interest in breaking down current governmental structures by those advocating for global governance as a means of population and consumption control, by just changing a single phrase of the FAI document, we unearth a plethora of un-reported but ongoing activities that quite closely match the FAI criterial.

Take a peek here:

This letter could be printed off and shared with local police detachments, even outside of British Columbia, since investigating whether the proponents of global governance are treading into the territory of Foreign Actor Interference can be done from anywhere in the country.

What is the connection with censorship, and why is Canadian Shareable News sharing this letter you may ask? When police officers claim they are well aware of the goings on in Edgewood BC, because they follow the news on CBC, we realize that there is a lot of context the CBC is not providing. (See the previous post for just one example of insufficient, unbalanced and incorrect reporting.)

UPDATE Following my conversation with a LOCAL POLICE STATION

• only BC officers are involved in police actions in BC

• RCMP in BC and one Eastern Canadian province are on a separate communications platform than the RCMP in other provinces. Police stations in one province don’t have email contact to police stations in other provinces

• re: putting out a request for RCMP to investigate foreign interference, local detachments don’t play a role. But one advised citizens to reach out to their MPs to ask them to forward the request via their channels.

Hello RCMP

I am not sure to what degree your station is receiving reports coming from the ostrich farm in Edgewood BC. and how far things will have advanced by the time this email is read...

Skimming the x.com account of reporter Drea Humphrey and others at 9 pm (Sept 21) Pacific the news currently is:

• CFIA has not yet returned the vehicles it rented from Clearway Car and Truck Rentals after the COO pulled out of the contract

• the farm has heard of a company they believe was contracted to deal with the removal of the carcasses and are appealing to them to also break their contract with CFIA

• reports are that a large number of trucks and police vehicle are assembled in Vernon and are expecting them to head to the farm early in the morning (Monday Sept 22)

The Role of the RCMP

In speaking with an RCMP officer from another province, I was told that the RCMP is duty bound to enforce orders from the CFIA. He was under the assumption that the CFIA is operating as a research-based outgrowth of a sovereign government following the directions of duly elected cabinet ministers, etc. etc., as might have been the case prior to 2019.

Most Canadians remain unaware of the massive role being played by proponents of global governance in engineering a full scale reversal of the international order we have long known. When government funded mainstream media neglects to report on the ever growing analysis, for example of the implications of the United Nations Agenda 2030 or on the 2019 partnership between the UN and the world's largest corporate lobby group, you may well be excused for thinking this email is coming to you from a "conspiracy theorist."

And yet, we have before us this document from 2023:

https://foreigninterferencecommission.ca/fileadmin/foreign_interference_commission/Documents/Exhibits_and_Presentations/Exhibits/CAN019675_0001.pdf

It states, "The RCMP and the broader Canadian security and intelligence community have a clear role to play in protecting Canada and Canadians from Foreign Actor Interference."

All it takes is to replace the words “A foreign state, or its proxies” & “foreign actors” with “proponents of global governance” and most of the descriptors of Foreign Actor Interference apply to the situation in which Canada has found itself since 2020.

Please take note of the following excerpt from the Foreign Interference Commission document. Bolded text indicates current activities by the proponents for global governance

Foreign Actor Interference (FAI) is a dynamic and complex threat that includes any effort by a foreign state, or its proxies, [proponents of global governance] to undermine Canada's national interests and values, or threaten public safety and the exercise of fundamental democratic rights and freedoms. FAI does not include legal and legitimate influence activities (such as cultural engagement or diplomatic activities); instead, it includes actions that are short of armed conflict, yet deceptive, threatening, and corrupt in nature. FAI includes a range of overt and covert threat activities, some of which are illegal and others which reside in a criminal grey zone between legal and illegal practices. Foreign actors [proponents of global governance]use these activities to advance their strategic interests, including: seeking geopolitical influence, domestic stability, and/or economic advancement; revising the rules-based international order; expanding authoritarian power at the transnational scale; and gaining certain military, health, scientific and strategic advantages…. Though the effects of … foreign interference are not as readily apparent as those of terrorism, they are the most significant long-term threats to Canada's sovereignty and prosperity. …
The RCMP plays a significant role in responding to, investigating, and countering FAI. Pursuant to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act, it is the duty of RCMP officers to preserve the peace and prevent crime.

Possible Leads for your Investigation

Government funded media platforms in Canada tend to vilify or ignore policy decisions made in the USA. However, the move to remove the USA from the United Nations is based on many analyses that can be of assistance to the RCMP in their investigation re: the possibility that proponents of global governance have already posed a monumental threat to the health and wellbeing of Canadians.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/withdrawing-the-united-states-from-and-ending-funding-to-certain-united-nations-organizations-and-reviewing-united-states-support-to-all-international-organizations/

See examples of the technologies to enable global governance including surveillance as described by an under-reported branch of the Canadian government:

https://horizons.service.canada.ca/en/search/index.html?q=%22global+governance%22

Various citizen action groups have been working outside of the media spotlight to alert Canadians as to the aims and strategies of the proponents of global governance. See: www.canadaexitwho.org/control-grid-news

See also the work of this US based acton group which summarizes some of the key policy platforms of those wishing to replace national governments with a technocratic global surveillance and control regime: preventgenocide2030.org/#let-your-voice.

Perhaps it is best to start with a look at this recent documentary entitled The Agenda: Their Vision - Your Future

One of the people participating in that documentary, former. Catherine Austin Fitts more recently also discussed "Human Sovereignty and Agency in the Age of Technocracy"

She explains how in "the present technocratic age elites are poised to integrate the masses into a global social and economic control grid."

For those of your colleagues who have heard of the life and death drama over in Edgewood BC only via the CBC, this review might prove insightful.

https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/csn-press-room-introducing-the-proposed. These past few years, the CBC has increasingly limited its use of expert commentary to experts with a vested interest in one side of a story only. And it has neglected its duty to ensure that the public walks away from news coverage with a better understanding of the key issues involved and the larger context within which a story is unfolding.

LAST (??) CALL

Please, while there still is time, look at the CFIA's actions as

- an example of foreign actor interference

- an example of a loss of Canadian sovereignty in informed decision making

- a crime about to happen (i.e. the destruction of irreplaceable assets with the potential for a major intellectual property and industrial capacity)

- an example of corruption and treason by those at the highest level of Government who are NOT calling out the foreign interference by the UN, the WEF and other entities with an eye to overturning Canadian sovereignty from the INSIDE... It was not just former PM Justin Trudeau who was proud that Canada was well on its way to becoming the world's first "post nation" state. Others are continuing to enable the erosion of our country as a separate and sovereign entity by NOT pointing out this global governance foreign actor interference.

Sincerely,

This Open Letter to an International Affairs reporter at The Canadian Press is intended as a teaching tool, a way to suggest improvements to the current state of Canadian Journalism. It is NOT intended to pick on any one individual but rather to illustrate the need for various Tools of Media Education to ensure better policy making as an outcome of journalistic reporting and analysis.

<NOTE: This letter was written in ADVANCE of the meeting in Alaska on August 15, 2025. But it is only being sent on August 28. Commentary added after the summit will be marked in triangle brackets.>

PERSPECTIVE, POLICY & IMPACT flowcharts

Dear XXXX

I noted from your LinkedIn profile that starting with your high school exchange trips to Japan & France you have had an interesting array of life experiences. Kudos for being an engaged learner of many languages. That alone gives you an understanding of the value of seeking multiple perspectives and interpretations of topics under discussion.

It looks like you have been active in a number of news jobs from about 2011 onward, moving pretty steadily up the ladder to your current position of International Affairs reporter for what is advertised as “Canada’s trusted news leader”, the Canadian Press.

I am writing you as former high school Social Studies teacher who is seeking ways to improve the quality of journalism in Canada. So approximately while you were writing essays in your Social Studies classes in Ontario, it was likely that I was marking such essays here in Alberta. I am writing you today to propose a way that articles intended to inform and shape views of readers and policy makers can

a) be more reflective of reality

b) allow for a broader understanding of the issues at hand

c) introduce an improved balance of sources cited

d) be reflective of the need to support intelligent policy making in this country.

Given that on Monday, Canadian government officials and all manner of journalists will need to pick up on the Alaska meeting between Presidents Trump and Putin, your August 15, 2025 article leading up to that encounter is very timely. Ottawa voices its resolve for Ukraine as Trump-Putin talks underway in Alaska can be improved

I will be referring to the Perspective, Policy and Impact flowcharts above and to my proposed Critical Balance Reporting Indicators as I first identify weaknesses in your article and then make suggestions for improvement.

The indicators are introduced here:

FAILURE OF JOURNALISTS TO SEEK ANSWERS TO BASIC QUESTIONS

It would have been the duty of journalists to lead the call for transparency in both the Senate and the House of Commons as to the origin, rationale and trajectory of key decisions. If information professionals such as you are unable to unearth answers to these questions, how are rank and file citizens supposed follow the sequence of decisions made?

a) WHO decided WHEN, HOW and WHY that Canada was going to uncritically back Ukraine in the first place from 2022 onward?

b) WHO decided WHEN, HOW and WHY that the narrative of the “unprovoked” Russian “invasion” was going to go unquestioned among Canadian Press and other journalists working for platforms that have received increased government funding? This includes historical revisionism, denialism of documented events, omission of key developments and understandings prior to 2022 including a complete omission of the violation of cultural and linguistic rights of Ukrainian citizens who happen to be of Russian ethnic background in the Eastern provinces of Ukraine

c) WHO decided WHEN, HOW and WHY that Canada was going to continue providing money for weaponry to Ukraine even after it became evident that

• there was a complete lack of oversight of weapons distribution and flow, and that weapons ended up in the hands of gangs throughout Europe and beyond.

• Russia’s intelligence capability allowed it to destroy most imported large military hardware as soon as it entered Ukraine, resulting in destruction before deployment, thus rendering all such “help” meaningless.

d) WHO decided WHEN, HOW and WHY Standing Committees of both the House and the Senate brought in expert witnesses to testify from uniquely a Ukrainian and not a Russian perspective of events?

This all goes counter to what most Canadians expect, given Canada’s peacekeeping history. We know, for example that “Peacekeepers are neutral international troops who are sent to countries in turmoil to help reduce tensions and restore peace.”

One might ask: as peace keepers need to deal with all sides in a conflict zone, wouldn’t our lawmakers (and our journalists as well) need to seek a balance between opposing sides, especially given that Canada itself is home to immigrants from BOTH cultural groups? Was it now suddenly taboo to seek out Canadians of Russian heritage or the expertise of historians of Russian foreign policy?

e) WHO decided WHEN, HOW and WHY that while before 2022 it was good reporting practice to highlight the huge role that a neo-Nazi resurgence played in the Ukrainian military, after the entrance of Russian troops into Ukraine, suddenly all such critique was to be silenced? Suddenly, to point at any of the actions by Ukraine’s military against the Russian ethnic minority in the eastern provinces, or at the admission of Angela Merkel that Germany had no intention of taking the Minsk Accord seriously, or at Boris Johnson’s scuttling of the Russia/Ukraine peace deal in that was in place in the very early days of the war, and many other news items, was going to be taboo?

FAILURE OF JOURNALISTS TO ASK “WHO BENEFITS”?

The classic journalism question “cui bono” ALWAYS needs to be top of mind when looking at ANY controversial issue…

A simple example could be how the transnational furniture corporation IKEA funds Chatham House, a think tank that draws from intellectuals who advocate keeping the war going. Any cynical reviewer would consider how refugee housing needs furnishings… the longer a war drags on, the more refugees that need housing also bolster the furniture market.

But on a more serious note…influential corporate media conglomerates reports often resemble children tattling to a teacher about a playground fight involving someone they don’t like. ”Russia started it!!” This successfully deflects attention from the role that their corporate investment chains have in finding a market for their new products. To be clear, telling your best customer to clear out their entire inventory of your products as quickly as possible is the PERFECT way to ensure that customer comes to you to buy MORE OF YOUR PRODUCTS. Who benefits from this emptying of the military storehouse? The makers of so-called “new, and improved” models equipment. Why are Germany and the US (under Biden) in particular so adamant in keeping the war going? Whose industrial economies have switched from a reliance on peace-time production to war-time production? Journalists could look at https://statisticsanddata.org/data/military-spending-by-country-1987-2024/#google_vignette to see how Germany has now joined the club. The very country that for decades had been changing “Never again War! Never again Fascism!” For decades, Germany’s powerhouse industrial status was predicated on its access to cheap Russian gas. That was the driver of its world class status as an industrial nation. Shutting off the tap via so-called sanctions against Russia was not enough. Germany’s foreign allies had to destroy the direct conduit (the Nord Stream pipeline). Why is it that only the independently operating “old-school” journalist Seymour Hersch was looking into the big picture on this topic and so many others while your employer, the Canadian Press chose not to cover that story at all (unless your website search engine is totally flawed).

Militarized Messaging

Someone or something is having a radical effect on ordinary citizens and their elected representatives who would not otherwise be particularly militaristic. Suddenly, certain messaging has been unleashed, messaging extreme enough to convince people to convince willing governments to give away all their arsenal. Then these governments need turn around and buy new equipment… quite a brilliant ruse! A way to sell more weapons, to the tune of thousands of drones a day!

Journalists are advised to investigate how the the media arm of military investment conglomerates is being used to drive fear into people, in this case fear of Russia supposedly “invading” all of Europe next unless we stop them!

This old undated graphic has been circulating the internet for some time.

Let’s use a family metaphor—the Blackrock family of investment funds was estimated to be worth approximately $8 trillion at the end of 2022. Despite the blurriness, can you find at least five manufacturers of military hardware? What about five news/media companies? What about five corporations with censorship capability (i.e., corporations with the ability to silence critical voices by cutting off their internet access, their ability to access online funding support, and potentially even their own bank accounts)?

So if critical voices point out unethical collusion between the military and the news media (think of them as the older siblings) just imagine the younger siblings (the tech, surveillance and social media corporations) standing up and fighting for their siblings’ honour. This can be done by deplatforming and debanking the uncomfortably pesky critics to silence them out of public discourse.

If you were unable to identify the members of different branches of the Blackrock family, please do take the time to see this documentary on the topic.

Not wanting to belong to the camp of critical voices, reliant on their regular paycheques, we find most reporters don’t want to “rock the boat” for fear of losing their jobs in corporate backed newsrooms.

And yet, one must understand that reporters cannot adequately do their jobs by sharing only the government/corporate perspective on world affairs. As I have been shining a light on poorly reported news (along with un- and under-reported news) for the past few years, I have come to notice a number of techniques used, and very likely used unconsciously by many of today’s journalists.

FAILURE OF JOURNALISTS TO LEARN THE CONTEXT

Please view the slide at the top of this article. How well do you know about the events leading up to 2022? Compare this summary of events The NATO War against Russia as shared in the citizen-journalism project DRUTHERS with what is being shared via The Canadian Press. Does the CP even produce thorough background articles as dense with information as the DRUTHERS article? As an INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS journalist, it is your business to read about all of the events pre-2022 referenced in the poster at the top of this article.

Comments Specific to a Canadian Press News Article

Allow me to highlight problematic sections of your article by putting them in boldface. My responses/suggestions will be in italics. I cannot apologize for using a sharp tone, as each day this war goes on more lives are lost. Journalists are partially to blame, as they are part of the information eco-system from which policy makers shape their decision-making.

=======

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney's government said Canada's support for Ukraine remains resolute ahead of talks Friday between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump arranged the talks in Anchorage, Alaska, to discuss a possible land swap between territories held by Ukraine and those claimed by Russia. Kyiv is not taking part in the talks.

The talks started Friday afternoon and neither leader answered media questions as they sat down together. (This seems like a fluff statement to add, given that one does not usually make one’s positions known BEFORE negotiating.) Officials later prepared podiums with Russian and American flags for a joint press conference.

"I won’t be happy if I walk away without some form of a ceasefire," Trump told Fox News on Friday, prior to the meeting. (Wait a minute, didn’t you just say that they both did NOT talk to the media ahead of the meeting?)

Trump said Thursday there was a 25 per cent chance that today's summit would fail, but he also floated the idea that, if the meeting succeeds, he could bring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Alaska for a subsequent, three-way meeting.

OK, not only do journalists need to be balanced, they also need to be critical. Did you notice a Critical Balance Indicator called “Data evaluation”? You cannot control what others say, but you CAN control what you chose to highlight from all of the words spoken by others.

President Trump’s statement about involving Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a future meeting indicated Trump’s utter lack of awareness about Zelenskyy’s standing — i.e. that he no longer has the authority to govern, that he is acting very much in line with dictatorial regimes—closing places of worship, jailing religious leaders, cancelling elections, deliberately lying and misleading the public, while engaged in acts of corruption, etc. Look for where I include Data Evaluation in my suggested revised version of your article.

Trump warned Wednesday of "very severe consequences" for Russia if Putin doesn’t agree to stop his invasion of Ukraine after today's meeting.

Here is another indicator of President Trump’s utter lack of awareness of the reduced military capability of the United States, and of the utter failure of Western sanctions against Russia. People informed on the true state of affairs have lost any hope they might have had that President Trump had a solid knowledge of and grip on the situation.

He said Thursday he might be willing to stay in Alaska beyond Friday, depending on what happens with Putin.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov tamped down expectations of any breakthroughs at the Friday summit, saying there were no plans to sign documents and that it would be a "big mistake" to predict the results of the negotiations, according to Russian news outlet Interfax.

Putin demands that Kyiv cede the regions Moscow annexed in 2022 — even though Russia doesn’t fully control them — and recognize Crimea, illegally annexed in 2014, as part of Russia.

Remember “Data Evaluation”? While you did not add any evaluation of data related to President Trump’s words, you are quick to carry out that function on statements made by President Putin. Unfortunately your “evaluation” reflects an incomplete understanding of the situation on your part. Also, would it not be good to cite from where you are taking these demands? Did you rearrange the sequence? Isn’t the one you have last the criterion Russian diplomats are putting first?

Putin also wants Ukraine to renounce its efforts to join NATO, limit its armed forces and recognize Russian as an official language along with Ukrainian.

Zelenskyy insists any peace deal must be acceptable to his people and include robust security guarantees against future Russian aggression.

Both Zelenskyy and the Europeans have worried that the bilateral U.S.-Russia summit would leave them and their interests sidelined, and that any conclusions could favour Moscow and leave Ukraine and Europe's future security in jeopardy.

All of the above statements are being made as if Ukraine is on even footing with Russia. In other words, they reflect a strong sense of denialism when it comes to the catastrophic degree of military losses sustained by Ukraine DESPITE all the help from NATO members. US promises about “fighting down to the last Ukrainian” are, sadly, coming true. Ukraine has been painted into a corner and is in no position to call the shots. Yet coverage such as yours is omitting that information, leading to what I am referring to as disinformation due to high degrees of information omission.

Carney took part in talks Wednesday with European leaders and spoke directly with Zelenskyy on Monday. He said Canada's partners are "united on shared principles" and insist that Ukrainians must decide their own future.

Have you heard of the new film by Andrew Treglia called It's a Barnum World Baby! It includes a brilliant sequence about identifying “Barnum Statements”. These are statements often used by politicians, marketers and others. The film features two characters discussing this classic manipulation tactic. Barnum Statements sound very specific and meaningful or even profound. But in reality, they are meaningless because they mean something different to everyone. “People who hear such statements filter them through their own mind, projecting their own values and desires into the words and they, assuming that everyone else is thinking that Barnum statement means the same thing that they've imagined. So it's basically an ambiguous statement” Later, they explain further. A Barnum statement is not just ambiguous. “It plays on your emotions it uh moves you, herds you in a certain direction. I mean it leverages an emotion without the person realizing it, they uh move you, they tie you to some kind of emotional idea.” Do you notice that you uncritically cited Barnum statements made by the head of the government that subsidizes your employer? Are you being warned NOT to use a critical lens whenever our Prime Minister tries to play on the emotions of Canadians with ambiguous and meaningless statements?

"Diplomatic efforts must be reinforced by military and economic pressure on Russia to end its unjustified war of aggression," Carney wrote Monday on social media.

"We welcome the leadership of the United States in working toward securing a just and lasting peace in Ukraine."

Let me demonstrate how one can report on such meaningless word salads in both a critical and a balanced manner below.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand spoke with her Ukrainian counterpart Thursday and said borders can't be changed by violence.

This is a classic case of information omission as there was no recognition of the violence perpetuated by the Ukrainian government from 2014 to 2022 against citizens of the Ukraine itself—people who just happen to live in the eastern provinces ethically Russian but with Ukrainian citizenship. Previously, these citizens had been granted linguistic and cultural rights, the right to worship and for education in their own language, while being seen as full citizens of Ukraine. But from 2014, under the new Western backed government, they began being targeted. Of note are the rich industrial and agricultural lands in the region.

Think of a historically francophone jurisdiction in your province. If the anglophones started attacking them, such that everyone spends each night in the basement, afraid of rocket attacks at night against random homes for a period of over 7 years, would they not call on fellow Francophone jurisdictions like Quebec and France to intervene on their behalf? In response to frantic calls pleading for help by Ukrainian citizens in the eastern provinces for 8 years, President Putin chose NOT TO INTERVENE except to attempt to encourage a diplomatic solution. He called for what became known as the first and second Minsk Accords. I wonder if Minster Anand has ever been briefed as to the precursors to the Russian Military operation. And I wonder how much you know about this. As a professional journalist with Ottawa connections, you should have even more access to back issues of the Hansard than I do. I would like to look more deeply into the recorded remarks made by Anita Anand for clues as to the sources she most relies on. Was her snappy statement “borders can’t be changed by violence” written by a poli-sci summer student who thought it sounded good? (It is the perfect Barnum statement, as catchy as something a marketeer could have come up with!)

"We will continue to support Ukraine through diplomatic measures, military assistance and economic aid to hold Russia accountable for its illegal war," she wrote on social media, adding that Canada's support is "unwavering."

Then you turn your attention away from Canadian government officials to a series of political analysts.

Analysts say western solidarity with Ukraine is crucial as Putin seeks to break NATO's resolve.

Eitvydas Bajarunas, a former Lithuanian ambassador to Russia, told an online panel Thursday that the best thing countries like Canada can do is show unwavering commitment — because Moscow is betting western allies will eventually splinter.

"Putin (has) understood his strength is to outsmart the West, to outmanoeuvre the West, to wait until the West starts to crumble," Bajarunas told the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) think tank.”

When current Western diplomats, commentators and analysts seem ignorant of so much of the “big picture”, it does not take much effort for the Russians to “outsmart” anyone. The statements you cite by the former ambassador sound tough but are quite devoid of content. What do they really mean? Do not be afraid to ask questions of an “expert” if what they are saying falls flat. It is their duty to be specific when asked. Maybe this person’s credentials alone do not make him or her the best suited for the type of informed commentary I assume you are seeking. Please try screening the experts from whom you solicit commentary with questions from a content expert screen chart I have proposed here. It would be an experiment to see if those questions are universally applicable.

Do you realize that by stating that Bajarunas “TOLD” the CEPA think tank something, you neglected to mention that he IS A FELLOW of that think tank? That would be a lack of transparency, and an example of what I call “disinformation by omission”. Describing him as a former ambassador gives him a certain air of neutrality, which does not carry over once readers note he is affiliated with CEPA.

I take it you did not check who backs the policy analysis at this think tank? (Please don’t tell me you don’t recognize American Rheinmetall Defense & Lockheed Martin Corporation as sources with a vested interest in keeping the war going!)

"One of the goals of Putin is definitely to put a wedge into American-European relations, and to use all methods, including hybrid warfare and disinformation, to manipulate public opinion."

Right. Typical. Make claims without evidence. Did you actually speak with Eitvydas Bajarunas? Or simply cite him from other talks or writings? Either way, you as a journalist just played the role of office secretary taking dictation without using your own critical information management skills to contextualize or evaluate the quotes you chose to include in your article. Are you aware of the back-story to the claims around “Russian disinformation”? I invite you to look at the September 30 issue of my PDF/Substack newsletter and in particular at my own attempt to trace the origins. I found the DFR Lab, an offshoot of the military backed Atlantic Council, along with NATO’s cognitive warfare activities as instigators of some of the more recent Russian disinformation claims. The more certain claims are recycled, the more we generally take them to be true. You may not have thought twice about including Bajarunas’ statement re: Russian disinformation as since 2016, comments about “Russiagate” and “Russian disinformation” have been steeped into our collective consciousness due to the pervasive effect of US media. Yet, once such claims have been investigated and proven to be incorrect, the “unprogramming” via a new saturation of opposite media reports does not occur. On July 18, 2025, the current Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a report including previously classified documents showing the U.S. intel community knew Trump was not working with the Russians. No mention of this report shows up on various searches of the Canadian Press website.

Olga Tokariuk, a Kyiv-based fellow with that think tank, told the panel that the optimal scenario for Ukraine would be Moscow and Washington failing to come to an agreement Friday, "if there is like no pressure in Ukraine to make any territorial concessions."

WHAT????!!!! This person thinks to CONTINUE the daily loss of life is BETTER than holding on for the faint hope of territorial gain???? And you just blithely copied that?

Even better for Ukraine would be fresh U.S. sanctions on Russia, if Trump feels Putin is stalling, she said.

So according to a member of a military based think tank, it is better to continue increasing sanctions than it is to end bloodshed!! And you simply cite this out of context? Clearly, this academic has NOT been paying attention to

• the losses of human life especially on the Ukrainian side

• Russia’s economic successes because of the sanctions from the West

• the suffering of Europeans having to stand by as their economies crumble due to their sanctimonious support of these sanctions (which result in Europe needing to buy Russian fuel at much higher costs via India).

<Information being added after the Alaska meeting…A Ukrainian MP has confirmed reports of up to 1.7 million Ukrainian solders dead or missing. This figure differs greatly from official statements by the Ukrainian government to date. This figure could be compared to the equivalent of 1214 average sized urban high schools.>

"This war is not about territories of Ukraine. Russia has vast territories of its own," she said. "This war is about that destruction of Ukraine as a sovereign and independent state, as a state aligned with the West, as a democracy."

She is right about one thing. This war was NOT about territory. It was about the Ukrainian government mistreating its own citizens (who happened to live in those parts of Ukraine with Russian speakers). And it is about NATO coming ever closer to Russia’s borders with its attack capabilities. Can you ask this commentator for evidence she has to show that Russia is attempting to destroy the entirety of Ukraine? When you provide the critical balance indicator of Data Evaluation, do you compare Russia’s approach to military action in Ukraine with that of NATO in Serbia for example? NATO undertook 77 days of intensive aerial bombardment leading to intensive destruction without a UN mandate. Russia has been slowly and strategically putting on the pressure, avoiding full-scale aerial bombardments of entire settlements, cautiously optimistic for peace negotiations even after the British scuttled the first peace deal they offered early on. Have you taken not of on the ground reports of “scorched earth” type destruction on Ukrainian civilian areas by Ukrainians to be blamed on Russia?

In recent days, Putin has expanded the scope of what the talks involve, including themes like nuclear arms control and "long-term conditions of peace between our countries, and in Europe, and in the world as a whole."

This is true but then to not explain the status of strategic nuclear arms deals in relation to your comment could be seen as an example of disinformation by omission. Your sentence makes it look like a bad move to expand talks beyond ending the situation in Ukraine.

Jason Israel, a former adviser with the U.S. National Security Council, said Moscow is trying to paint Russia and the U.S. as influential countries that have restored relations after years of diplomatic chill. (NO WAY! Here you are citing a THIRD member of that same military backed think tank. Are you deliberately leaving off their affiliations to make it seem like you are scanning a wide variety of viewpoints? https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-israel-a154095/ If so, that would be deceptive.)

He told the panel that even if there is agreement Friday on a ceasefire, it remains unclear how such a deal would be implemented, since European leaders are not at the table and haven't consented to actually putting such a ceasefire into place.

There is so much more that could be said here… please continue down to my suggested revision of this article.

Kyiv has long insisted that safeguards against future Russian attacks provided by its Western allies would be a precondition for any durable end to the fighting. Many Western governments have been hesitant to commit military personnel.

Countries in the coalition, which includes France and the U.K., have been trying for months to secure U.S. security backing, should it be required.

TAKE TWO - Proposed Revisions to the Article above

NOTE: Statements reused from the original article are not being attributed beyond what was done by the original writer.

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney's government said Canada's support for Ukraine remains resolute ahead of talks Friday between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump arranged the talks in Anchorage, Alaska, to discuss a possible land swap between territories held by Ukraine and those claimed by Russia. Kyiv is not taking part in the talks.

Before the talks started Friday afternoon Trump told Fox News: "I won’t be happy if I walk away without some form of a ceasefire.” Two days earlier, on Wednesday, Trump had warned of "very severe consequences" for Russia if Putin doesn’t agree to stop his invasion of Ukraine after the meeting. It is unclear what those consequences could be as so far, 18 rounds of sanctions by Western nations against Russia have caused it to expand trade with the global south and increase its financial position 23% since 2021. (INDEPENDENT REPORTING - adding data beyond that given in “official” statements)

A day before the meeting, Trump also said there was a 25 per cent chance that the summit would fail, but he floated the idea that, if the meeting succeeds, he could bring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Alaska for a subsequent, three-way meeting. However, there is little interest on the Russian side to meet with a leader who has lost his legitimacy to govern. Zelenskyy’s five-year presidential term expired on May 20, 2024. Writing on his Substack in September 2024, David T. Pyne, Deputy Executive Director of the Task Force on National & Homeland Security, explained that Putin is no longer willing to “negotiate with Zelenskyy because future Ukrainian leaders would be under no obligation to adhere to the peace terms. Under the Ukrainian constitution, with the office of President of Ukraine effectively vacant (the chairman of the Ukrainian Rada) Ruslan Stefanchuk should replace Zelensky until new elections can be held.” (CONTEXTUALIZATION)

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov outlined Russia’s position in an interview with Rossiya 24 broadcaster. “Sustainable settlement of the Ukraine conflict can only be achieved if Kiev agrees never to join NATO, undergoes demilitarization and denazification, and recognizes the new reality on the ground. This includes the status of Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye regions as part of Russia – territories that voted to join the country in public referendums in 2014 and 2022.” (TRANSPARENCY, BALANCE, getting the direct quote in the original order the statement was made instead of rearranging and retelling it.)

Putin demands that Kyiv cede the regions Moscow annexed in 2022 — even though Russia doesn’t fully control them — and recognize Crimea, illegally annexed in 2014, as part of Russia.

Putin also wants Ukraine to renounce its efforts to join NATO, limit its armed forces and recognize Russian as an official language along with Ukrainian.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy insists any peace deal must be acceptable to his people and include robust security guarantees against future Russian aggression.

Both Zelenskyy and the Europeans have worried that the bilateral U.S.-Russia summit would leave them and their interests sidelined, and that any conclusions could favour Moscow and leave Ukraine and Europe's future security in jeopardy.

Carney took part in talks Wednesday with European leaders and spoke directly with Zelenskyy on Monday. He said Canada's partners are "united on shared principles" and insist that Ukrainians must decide their own future. Absent from his comments was any recognition of the sustained US and NATO involvement in Ukraine since the 2014 coup. (DATA EVALUATION & CONTEXTUALIZATION)

"Diplomatic efforts must be reinforced by military and economic pressure on Russia to end its unjustified war of aggression," Carney wrote Monday on social media.

"We welcome the leadership of the United States in working toward securing a just and lasting peace in Ukraine."

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand spoke with her Ukrainian counterpart Thursday and said borders can't be changed by violence. (I wish you would have cited this conversation, as the borders quote seems out of context, and shouldn’t just stand alone. It was not included here or here.)

"We will continue to support Ukraine through diplomatic measures, military assistance and economic aid to hold Russia accountable for its illegal war," she wrote on social media, adding that Canada's support is "unwavering."

As of July 21, 2025, Canada has committed $6.5 billion in military assistance to Ukraine. Additionally, it has trained more than 44,000 Ukrainian military and security personnel. (CONTEXTUALIZATION)

Analysts with the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) say western solidarity with Ukraine is crucial as “Putin seeks to break NATO's resolve”. Recent supporters of this think tank include American Rheinmetall, maker of military ground vehicle track systems and Lockheed Martin Corporation, a defence contractor manufacturing weaponry for land, air, sea and cyberspace combat. Additional supporters include Amazon and Meta which both play a major role within the US military. (TRANSPARENCY)

Eitvydas Bajarunas, a former Lithuanian ambassador to Russia and current fellow of the think tank, told an online panel Thursday that the best thing countries like Canada can do is show unwavering commitment — because Moscow is betting western allies will eventually splinter.

"Putin (has) understood his strength is to outsmart the West, to outmanoeuvre the West, to wait until the West starts to crumble," Bajarunas told the Center for European Policy Analysis think tank. "One of the goals of Putin is definitely to put a wedge into American-European relations, and to use all methods, including hybrid warfare and disinformation, to manipulate public opinion."

"This war is not about territories of Ukraine. Russia has vast territories of its own," she said. For Tokariuk, "This war is about that destruction of Ukraine as a sovereign and independent state, as a state aligned with the West, as a democracy."

In her writing for the UK based think tank Chatham House, Tokariuk focusses on the difficult experiences of over 7 million refugees displaced from their homes in Ukraine since the start of the hostilities. Donors to Chatham House include Global Affairs Canada at over £1,000,000. Other donors include the Open Society Foundation and the National Endowment for Democracy, two organizations known to be involved in numerous regime change operations globally. (TRANSPARENCY)

In recent days, Putin has expanded the scope of what the talks involve, including themes like nuclear arms control and "long-term conditions of peace between our countries, and in Europe, and in the world as a whole."

Jason Israel, a third fellow with CEPA, and former adviser with the U.S. National Security Council, said Moscow is trying to paint Russia and the U.S. as influential countries that have restored relations after years of diplomatic chill.

He told the panel (I wish you would have identified what panel & when it took place so I can see if there were speakers with other viewpoints represented too) that even if there is agreement Friday on a ceasefire, it remains unclear how such a deal would be implemented, since European leaders are not at the table and haven't consented to actually putting such a ceasefire into place.

Kyiv has long insisted that safeguards against future Russian attacks provided by its Western allies would be a precondition for any durable end to the fighting. Many Western governments have been hesitant to commit military personnel.

Countries in the coalition, which includes France and the U.K., have been trying for months to secure U.S. security backing, should it be required.

In contrast to analysts associated with Center for European Policy Analysis, journalists with the independent investigative news platform The Grayzone, such as Aaron Maté point out how Ukraine has long been seen as a tool for neo-Conservative American officials to defeat or weaken Russia. The 1997 book “The Grand Chessboard — American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives” by former US National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski appears to continue shaping the mindset of many who are committed to continuing the war. Already in 2014, John Mearsheimer, Professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Chicago, warned that NATO’s Ukraine policy would lead to disaster for all concerned. https://thegrayzone.com/2023/07/30/john-mearsheimer-ukraine-war-is-a-long-term-danger/ (CONTEXTUALIZATION, Seeking out OBJECTIVITY, INDEPENDENT REPORTING and DIVERSITY OF OPINION )

Specific to the Alaska Summit, retired US Col. Larry Johnson was interviewed on the South Asian “India and the Global Left” podcast. The former CIA and State Department's Office of Counter Terrorism intelligence analyst outlined Russia’s expectations for a resolution of the situation in Ukraine. Johnson pointed out that there was not a single US military official taking part in the delegation to Alaska.

As Johnson summarizes the situation: “The Russians have put offers on the table. They're waiting for Ukraine's reaction. The United States really has no role to play in that. But on a whole other variety of other areas, in particular, economic diplomatic cooperation, the the potential for some agreement or at least agreeing to meet again to work flesh these out is on the table. … But the larger thing is they want a renegotiation of the security framework in Eurasia, which of course includes rolling back of NATO, but also all the placements of these missiles and so on, which also includes some of these treaties, uh, intermediate range nuclear missile treaties… “

"The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. More alarming, some media outlets publish the same fake story without checking facts first. “

I am writing you as one of many journalists who have previously referred to the critiques of expert scientists and well-informed medical professionals on topics related to COVID-19 treatment, prevention, mitigation measures (such as lockdowns, masking, etc.), adverse events following injection (AEFIs) or Long Covid as "misinformation", “disinformation” or "conspiracy theories". As busy journalists, it is sometimes easy to just take other people's word for something instead of following up on the issue oneself.

I assume when journalists are assigned topics, or when they write pieces on spec, they might not all have the time needed to delve into the publications cited by the various medical and scientific researchers whose work they are "covering". Or they might lack the necessary scientific background to comprehend the information found. It is easier to assume someone else has already done due diligence on the topic an simply repeat what they have already written.

Given that the statements made by some of the subjects of your articles countered messaging from official global, US and Canadian public health agencies, it is easy to consider them as holding "fringe" or "outlier" positions. Tragically, journalists who wrote the dissenters off as "promoting COVID-19 conspiracy theories" have engaged in what might be referred to as "lazy journalism". To take the word of uninformed, biased or compromised individuals or institutions rife with conflicts of interest instead of double-checking their claims, you have done your readers a disservice and signalled to readers that you might not always do due diligence with the facts.

For the most current run-down of scientific findings pointing at how mRNA-based COVID-19 injections are not "safe and effective" as reported, please see the References in this www.call2halt19.ca open letter. (Click on the red button. See also the attached Press Release.)

One of the clearest depictions of the vicious cycle we have been through has been prepared by the COVID Sense project.

One can easily see journalists also in the role of The Hostage with The Muscle being the threat of job loss to journalists and funding cuts to news outlets. (See https://x.com/sense_covid.)

Government politicians and health appointees protested the loudest about anyone bringing up evidence to counter public health orders. A careful look at their social media posts at the time revealed that they relied heavily on others who shared studies supposedly proving the safety and efficacy of mRNA injections targeting COVID-19. However, apart from serious conflicts of interests and science frozen in time, there were often other crucial problems with research design, etc. Everyone seemed to want to forget how the scientific process rests on ongoing observations, experimentation and continually disproving previous incorrect hypotheses.

Unfortunately, those who particularly pride themselves on their capacities for critical thinking are those who tend to hold on the most firmly to “official” narratives longer than others who are less put off by actual critical thinkers!

Surprisingly, even sometimes, information from official sources was also not reported on. In particular, some journalists and policy makers are still making claims that have long been disproven. For whatever reason, they end up ignorant of (or ignoring)reports from the World Health Organization and the CDC going back to 2021. To this day, many journalists and policy makers are unaware of what was already known and announced years past as shown here:

Read the full post here:

This next post lists many of the more recent news stories that government-funded, corporate-backed "mainstream" media are NOT reporting on, such that information is not getting to policy makers and the general public.

In fact, not only government officials with a decision-making history to defend, but many journalists as well, seem not to be aware that in order to claim that something is indeed Disinformation, one needs to be able to point at data that disproves that information. This according to the definition put out by Health Canada itself, which reads: "False information is incorrect and there is data that disproves it."

So the question arises, in the absence of actual data to disprove what is being reported as "false information", why were some journalists so quick to condemn fellow citizens with ad hominem attacks meant to dissuade readers from giving their messages any credence? Canadian Shareable News has written up a proposed "self quiz" for journalists, suggesting possible reasons for not digging into all matters being written about. See: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/letter-toself-quiz-for-journalists for more on these choices.

• Money talks.

• The Bubble is Impermeable

• Trusting the “Experts”

• Fear of Missing Out (the power of “safe”)

• Fear of Letting Go (the melancholic pain of loss of innocence)

• Willful Inertia/Willful Ignorance

• Weaponized Compassion

• The Indoctrination is Complete

• Other

If none of the suggested reasons apply in your case, what might your "other" reason be? Possibly the lack of hours in a day played into your wording decision.

Here we are not trying to fault anyone who sincerely did their best work given the information at the time. We can't change what was written and published 5, 4, 3, 2 years ago. But we are reminding journalists and media platforms of the need to abide by the CAJ and other codes of ethics that compel you to ISSUE CORRECTIONS as soon as you become aware of your mistakes. This email is a call to all who once disparaged of those who were ahead of them on the learning curve to express regret for having been too gullible in the past. The sooner the big names in journalism come out and issue mea culpas along the lines of "I was wrong to trust what I thought was trusted information at the time and here is how we stop the harm moving forward", the sooner we can get the toxic weapon out of the arms of more unsuspecting children, parents, workers, elders who are still impacted by the messaging that by allowing these concoctions into the body is to "do the right thing". One way to move us all forward is to sign and report on the www.call2halt19.ca open letter. Another is to provide widespread coverage to both CanConnect19.ca and SickAndAbandoned sickandabandoned.com by sharing the information here for starters: https://forum.sickandabandoned.com/t/canadians-can-connect-19-has-launched/506

Yes, I realize once you REALLY dig into the evidence you yourself might go into shock. EVERYONE of us now aware of the recent research has gone through the highly emotional process outlined in step 1 of the "10-Step Lesson Plan for those now leaving the "Mainstream Media Bubble"

We cannot change the past. But we can commit to preventing more harm and trying to improve conditions for vax-victims like Carrie Sakomoto of Lethbridge Alberta. We can commit to learning more from those who now need to be suffering for LIFE because of decisions made by Public Health officials despite the warnings from internationally renowned independent scientists. We can learn from and promote documentaries on the topic like this Follow The Silenced Official Movie by Mikki Willis, which appears to have had 45K viewers on YouTube alone these past three days.

We invite you to expand your information diet to get a deeper understanding of the issues.

You may not have been aware of news reports involving a clamp-down on freedom of movement and association by governments in many countries. (See the 2022 stories at https://reclaimthenet.org/?s=mandatory+vaccine.) The federal government's heavy handed policies flew in the face of evolving science. The economy, health care and education were all negatively impacted by the COVID-19 vaccine mandates nation-wide.

And all this went even deeper, as outlined by US based pharmaceutical corporation researchers Sashya Latypova and Debbie Lerman in the COVID Dossier. This document points at A record of military and intelligence coordination of the global Covid event. The authors have also traced Canadian military involvement. They have been asked to go into more detail on the Canadian connection. You are invited to listen in: Tuesday, May 20, 11 am Eastern https://x.com/stopc293comtee/status/1924335171114778775.

Meanwhile, please refresh your knowledge of the International Declaration on Information Integrity Online that was signed by Canada on October 29, 2024 with the URL link provided here: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/commit-to-information-integrity-in.

The attached pdf (Info Integrity To Do for Journalists) provides a number of suggestions that can be used by journalists and other information providers as they begin to look more closely at the role they have been playing at actively or incidentally hiding life and death information these past five years.

Feel free to reply to this email address if you have any questions. My aim with writing is to lift up the quality of journalism in Canada, one or two folks at a time. When you have time, I would also love your take on the Critical Balance Reporting Indicators I proposed some months back.

Thank you,

So, our new Prime Minister felt the need to issue this statement over the weekend:

Notice how he does NOT commit to freeing Canadian journalists from the forces that have prevented them from reporting truthfully these past few years.

Notice that there are NO references to how Canada currently does NOT have a “strong, independent and free press” as long as the federal government becomes the “hand that feeds” Canadian media outlets. Back in 2021, the government provided $10 million as a “top up fund”, and that has simply continued to be the case each year.

Mark Carney also provides NO explanation as to how the government will choose what constitutes a “reliable public forum” nor what constitutes “disinformation”.

Meanwhile, every day we see, hear and read of new deaths and other tragedies that could have been avoided if Canada truly enjoyed Press Freedom, if social media algorithms were NOT turned on against the views of segments of the population, if expert voices were NOT censored, if a fulsome discussion on the pros and cons of every project proposal were allowed. If debate among citizens and their representatives would be once again normalized, instead of the “cancel culture” we see today—one that seeks to demonize dissenting views.

Let’s ask journalists themselves…

Do you think Canada currently enjoys Press Freedom?

Can you truly “follow the evidence”, highlight both sides of any argument, write non- judgmentally about the holders of alternate views on the issues of the day?

Are you incentivized in any way to look “beyond the bubble” or outside of the so-called “Trusted News” sources for your information or your story lines?

Do you understand who collates that “Trusted” information and why which aspects are left off the table?

Or do you REALLY THINK THAT…

• To question a flawed medical product is to be an “anti-vaxxer”?

• To question a government’s policy is to be a “misinformation provider”?

• To insist on freedom of choice, opinion, speech and expression is to be a “right wing”, “radical” “homophobic”, “racist”, “sexist”, “misogynist”, “transphobic” (pick your slur)?

Need some help interpreting the choices?

• Money Talks

  • Bribes for Silence are a reality. Dr. Paul Alexander is a Canadian epidemiologist and infectious disease researcher who had worked for the World Health Organization and the first Trump administration. In March 2022, he revealed that Pfizer had approached him with an offer of $1 million plus a $50,000 monthly wage on the condition that he stop his critique of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine product. Dr. Alexander chose to reject this outright and to make it public. One can only speculate if other people made different choices when faced with similar offers.

• The Bubble is Impermeable

  • Do people who exclusively follow “establishment”, “legacy”, “mainstream” government-funded, corporate-backed media for their information sources honestly NOT KNOW that such sources carefully curate their story selection to avoid “inconvenient truths”? It is likely that some such people honestly do not recognize “trusted news” as official “disinformation”. To get a taste of news stories “outside of the bubble” start here: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/whos-who-in-canadian-independent

• Trusting the “Experts”

  • Sometimes, the “experts” simply get it wrong. In fact, David Robson wrote a book entitled: The Intelligence Trap: Why Smart People Make Dumb Mistakes. In fact, highly esteemed British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Scottish nursing instructor Dr. John Campbell both started out the COVID-19 years fully supporting the use of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine products, until they realized they had been misinformed. They then changed their tune.

  • Sometimes, the “experts” place their trust in unreliable sources. Over the course of the declared COVID-19 pandemic, meany Canadians have assumed that the public health officers guiding the population are reliant on the best and leading scientific data. And yet, those providing them with numbers, data and analyses can have major conflicts of interest. This was demonstrated by the independent research based Canadian Citizen Care Alliance.

  • Sometimes, even the “experts” are not aware that they are only being provided with “curated” data or science that is simply “frozen in time”. See select excerpts of Following the Science - Documenting the Current State of Affairs of COVID-19 Vaccination in Canada as of October 21, 2021. (The full document can be downloaded from the third block showing here:

    https://followingthecovidscience.8b.io/

  • Sometimes, the “experts” think they have been provided with all of the latest data, when that is clearly not the case. See Dr. Deena Hinshaw’s 2021 affidavit here.

  • Sometimes, the “experts” work to have data hidden or manipulated. Alberta forensic Investigator David Dickson points at many instances of this unethical practice all throughout his old and his new website. See https://dksdata.com/COVID19. See information shared by Louise MacDonald here.

  • Sometimes the “experts” direct, publish in and trust the “esteemed” medical journals without knowing that nearly half of medical journal editors have financial conflicts of interest with pharmaceutical companies, while 59% of peer-reviewers for major medical journals received more than $1 billion from drug companies from 2020 to 2022. Those who “trust the experts might be surprised to learn that at least three major medical journals—the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), Obstetrics and Gynecology and official Publication of the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST)—have now received letters from the US Department of Justice questioning their editorial practices. The letters raised legitimate concerns about bias, lack of transparency, and whether these journals fairly presented competing scientific viewpoints—especially on topics like COVID-19 policies and treatments. (Compare this report re: the letters by an advocate for evidence-based medicine with this one by NBC news, which in turn is fully invested in by GlobalCorp Inc.)

  • Sometimes, the “experts” even joke about other people giving them their talking points. For example: “I just say whatever they write down for me” coming from Ontario’s Associate Medical Officer of Health Dr. Barbara Yaffe.

  • Sometimes, the “experts” simply lie. See: COVID-19 mRNA Genetic Vaccines – Were Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women Told the Truth? And BC Centre for Disease Control Caught Lying and Withholding Important Public Health Data

• Fear of Missing Out (the power of “safe”)

  • No one wants to “go out on a limb”, or leave the comfort of the crowd. We are afraid of being outliers and standing up for a cause that others deem to be questionable. It is Safer to Say nothing. But if everyone remains silent while NO ONE steps forward to call out injustice, what kind of a society are we building? What kind of role models do we become for future generations? Heroes have courage and conviction. Crowds don’t.

• Fear of Letting Go (the melancholic pain of loss of innocence)

  • “But I always thought that…” “But I was told that…” “But in school we were taught that…” The harsh reality is that our teachers, trusted news agencies, legacy institutions etc. have either themselves not been probing into the narratives they are passing along, or that SINCE our “good old days” our trusted institutions have become compromised and sold out to some form or another of GlobalCorp Inc. The cold, hard truth hurts. Deal with it. Denial is deadlier.

• Willful Inertia/Willful Ignorance

  • Get off the pot. Seek the truth. See the previous section.

• Weaponized Compassion

  • In “fighting terrorism” we launched “forever wars” weakening entire cultures and padding the profit margins of the military industrial complex, a major force in GlobalCorp Inc.

  • In “keeping granny safe” by “rolling up our sleeves” we sold tons of product that ended up killing the young and producing more billionaires.

  • In “saving the planet” by moving to “net zero” we pushed for deindustrialization, increased poverty, food insecurity, suicide rates. And we increased the profit margin for surveillance, tracking, “green energy” and many other members of GlobalCorp INC.

  • In “protecting women’s right to choose” we suctioned out pre-born children, and advanced an already booming illicit organ trade.

  • In offering “gender-affirming care” and declaring honest counsel a danger to mental health, we filled parents with fear and medical misinformation by omission, preying on the young and vulnerable to drive the radical “solution” of irreversible surgery on underaged youth while guaranteeing BigPharma a countless supply of customers for life.

  • In each case, those who “connected the dots” and said something in opposition were subject to censorship via pre-programmed and unscientific social media algorithm and massive societal pressure from the well-intentioned but ill-informed public.

• The Indoctrination is Complete

  • I believe as I am told.

  • I think as I am told.

  • I am an unwitting agent of whichever psychological operation is rolled out next. No questions asked.

It does not have to be this way.

CALL TO RESIST (WHAT? WHOM?)

Hello…

I am writing this Open Letter in response to two automatically generated mail-outs that I received a few weeks back.

One included an amazingly blank T-shirt design... Just in case you missed what your promo department is up to, please take a peek:

The target of resistance was not clear to me--mostly because when that email arrived, you didn't have much of a platform on your website. Today I see you have added a section called commitments dealing only with 9 topics and there are 7 topics briefly addressed at the bottom of the website, under the heading “Our Plans”— 7 areas in which the NDP commits to spending more funds. The writers of that section claim our affordability crisis only started with the trade tariffs announced by US President Trump since his inauguration. So I am led to assume Donald Trump is supposed to be the focus of NDP Resistance hinted at on your blank T-shirt.

I urge you to expand your focus, attention and policy making much further, educating yourself on the bigger picture. I would suggest that NDP efforts should be on building a non-partisan coalition against the globalist forces that have already transformed Canada such that we can no longer trust in the rule of law and in constitutional protection of our rights as citizens.

A THEORY: RESTRICTED NEWS DIET POSSIBLE REASON FOR TRANSITION AWAY FROM “NDP OF OLD”

Two of your 7 “plan” documents state that "COVID-19 exposed massive gaps in Canada’s Employment Insurance (EI) system" That is by far not all that COVID-19 exposed. Clearly, COVID-19 also exposed the expanding power of the administrative state along with unprecedented levels of cancel culture within many of our organizations. Media censorship has been made evident to such a degree that many suspect mainstream news outlets are playing the role of agents of psychological operation. That is the only explanation I can come up with to help me understand why the NDP of today is such a far cry from the NDP of old, the one I repeatedly voted for in the past. Due to censorship, the “news diet” of those following government- and corporate-backed media has become quite slim. The proverbial “other side of the story” on nearly every issue is being left off the pages of major once-trusted newspapers and unreported via major ‘establishment’ news broadcasts. Followers of ‘mainstream’ news and analysis are actively being encouraged NOT to ‘diversify their news diets’ by looking at the work of myriad independent and alternately funded citizen-supported news platforms.

Please help me understand the dilemma in which I have been finding myself: Could a severe restriction of your 'news diet' be the reason why today's NDP seems a far cry from what it was decades ago? Could the timing of the huge disconnect between the NDP of today and the NDP of old be related to increasing abilities of social media algorithms to prevent a free and open exchange of ideas and fully informed debates of complex issues? Fueled to back corporate interests "cancel culture", "shadow-banning", fraudulent "fact-checking", these mechanisms might all be at the root of the divisiveness in today's society. Those living inside of the “mainstream” news bubble have been conditioned to assume that anything outside of is it not to be trusted. One-sided “experts” favoured within the mainstream bubble have been successfully (falsely) reframing news from the outside the bubble as “disinformation” and “conspiracy theory”. And when the outside news is proven correct, that evidence is not brought back inside the bubble, no corrections are ever made. Neither are apologies.

The very fact that the entire NDP campaign messaging seems targeted simply against “billionaires” without specifically referencing those billionaires who are actively working against the public interest (i.e. those working via globalist channels to enact policies related to global governance) seems to illustrate the lack of access by NDP policy makers to the complexity of information only being discussed outside of the “mainstream news bubble.” Are NDP policy makers and candidates aware of the rapidly increasing corporate fascist totalitarianism that has overtaken our country? That, if left unchecked, will be the defining factor in making this country a far cry from its former self? Is the NDP even aware of any of these SIX EXAMPLES of Canadian policy makers swapping out the public interest with corporate interests? See BC Health Professions Act; Aerial Spraying; Policy Horizons; Attack on Natural Health Products; Health Canada’s Drug Approval Process; Canadian Food Inspection Agency in this post:

RESISTING OR EMBRACING CORPORATE TOTALITARIANISM?

I am thinking of the NDP I used to know, when NDPers resisted corporate takeover of small businesses. And when they pushed back against the toxins multinational oil and chemical corporations left behind on the land and those which pharma corporations deposited in the body. The NDP of the past would have resisted corporate and government violations of human and worker rights... but the NDP today? Are NDP policy makers aware of the great threat to this country and much of the globe posed by the collusion of corporations via the World Economic Forum? Did today’s NDP even notice how the partnership in 2019 between the WEF and the largest intergovernmental organization the United Nations has now put corporate interests instead of government sovereignty in the driver’s seat? Did the NDP speak out against that partnership as we see other organizations did? Are you aware that this partnership is one of the reasons we are all slipping into corporate fascism? Proponents of global governance are seeking to put tentacles into nearly every aspect of life around the globe and now have the means to do it.

Similarly, are you aware of how the plutocrats of whom Chyrstia Freeland wrote years ago already have their own agendas and have been very receptive to misinformation on the climate and population control files? Combined with those proponents of the new gold rush: mobility, product, consumption surveillance & tracking technologies, AI powered data management, biodigital convergence, and of a totally new reset of the financial system based on tokenizing the entire planet... all of this needs to be resisted. The chaos engendered via trade and border disputes is just one smaller part of the much bigger picture now seriously looming before us.

What do you think of this possibility for your T-shirt design?

Given that elections are about choices, many of the informed electorate see only these two choices in the upcoming election--either we resist or we embrace corporate totalitarianism.

Was there a reason the NDP designers could NOT point to Corporate Totalitarianism on your T-shirts? By NOT pointing out something that is a pretty big no-brainer for New Democrats, by not calling it out and making the election campaign ALL ABOUT THAT, especially with an even bigger corporate agent leading the Liberal party than ever before, you are essentially allowing corporate totalitarians to continue marching in. To be silent is to condone and to embrace.

The rest of my comments refer to another NDP email pasted in below.

SEEKING A MORE COMPREHENSIVE ELECTION PLATFORM

This election is about so much more than painting the town orange, annoying Pierre Poilievre or claiming to stand against billionaires.

I see you have recently updated your election platform under the “Commitments” section. At the start of the campaign, there was very little information on the site for the use of candidates as a guideline for campaign promises, personal commitments, etc.? And still today, much remains unsaid. What is your policy, for example on the question of free votes according to conscience?

Other than relying on government programs to activate the economy, what core vision do you all share for Canada? Are you seeking to continue turning Canada into a post-national administrative state, as was progressively done under the Liberals with your support? Or do you now have a different vision for this country moving forward? How would you propose undoing the legislative damage already done? For example, how would you roll back the legal precedence now set around charges against COVID-19 related whistleblowing professionals? (See Issue 40 of CSNews for a list of some of the people I am referring to. Have you ever seen their names and their stories accurately reported on in ‘mainstream’ media? If not, why not? And if not, what has the NDP done to advocate for a fully comprehensive, multifaceted media coverage in this country?)

What is your foreign policy stance? Would you stand for military neutrality for Canada, or economic partnership with BRICS nations perhaps? Your 7 statements around more funding for EI, for doctors, etc. do not differ significantly from commitments made by other parties.

Despite verbal attacks re: supposed "right" or "left" wing positions, essentially every major party in our country traditionally enacted or promoted variations of the same moderate policies.

To find answers to my own questions, I needed to search OUTSIDE of your website, and the best I could do was to find this CBC article from 2021 which listed some of the 500 policy proposals you were apparently sifting through at a policy convention at the time. Which ones ultimately made it to your platform? (Anything BEYOND the 9 ‘commitments’ and 7 ‘plans’?)

Once the election campaign was well underway, of all the 5 major parties (6 in Quebec), only the Bloc Quebecois and the Peoples' Party of Canada (PPC) had posted comprehensive platforms. Have you seen the PPC’s full PDFs outlining their commitments on 21 topic areas? For example, here is a two pager outlining the background information and party commitments on just ONE of the topics in their platform.

https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/61b95f3fa12ab5a4a4d3ffd9/67d45fd226d33561a6db4cba_Equalization_Policy_Printout_EN.pdf

I have never voted for PPC before, but I must say when comparing websites I appreciate it when parties outline their platform in a comprehensive way.

Do you know if the NDP will soon post something similar.....?

How are candidates and campaign volunteers supposed to understand vague statements like these (posted under “A better fiscal approach”)?

Hopefully you have a more fully referenced document with actual scenarios or examples campaigners and candidates can draw from, as these statements feel woefully vague to me.

You state:

By supporting families through challenging times and ensuring continued participation in the workforce, we reduce long-term fiscal and social costs

and you write about “reducing the need for costly interventions” and “ensuring people can access the treatment they need”

and yet there is not a single word on the NDP’s stance in support of those seeking compensation for vaccine injuries. Do you now understand how by advocating for the use of repurposed anti-viral mediations to prevent and treat COVID-19, you could have saved Canada massive amounts in health care costs? Ivermectin and other such therapeutics cost only pennies per pill while new drugs rapidly put on the market, cost significantly more. Not to mention the costs far beyond the health care system for having such high proportion of working aged Canadians being pushed OUT of their jobs for rejecting the mRNA injections or because of adverse events following mandated injections?

I look forward to a reply with the link to your full party platform and an explanation as to why you have chosen NOT to post it on the party website.

IGNORANCE OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE & OF CENSORED INFORMATION LEADS TO DROP IN VOTER SUPPORT

I have voted NDP for most of my life as in the past (decades ago), they truly did more than just talk about billionaires, they outlined specific actions against the excesses of BigCorp on behalf of workers, etc.

Jagmeet Singh is still listed as having been a member of the 2018 class of Young Global Leaders in an initiative of the world's largest corporate lobby group, the World Economic Forum. Has he ever made it clear to you as election candidates (or incumbent MPs under his leadership) how the lessons learned from the organization that is in the driver's seat of many aspects of global governance have shaped his understanding of what it means to support Canadian workers instead of the oligarch class?

I know of many other concerned Canadians for whom Jagmeet Singh's endorsement of mandatory injections for frontline workers spelled a death knell for their support of the NDP. Especially after we did all we could to point out to well-intentioned but ill-informed decision makers that they drastically needed to expand their news diets, beyond the information being carefuly curated and fed to the public via government and corporate funded sources. Ditto for the party's shameful support of moves to "deny EI benefits to workers who rightly exercised their constitutionally protected right to safety and conscience by refusing to comply with a coercive medical procedure" as outlined here. Has Jagmeet Singh ever apologized to the party faithful for his overeager assumption that the very company that had already paid out multiple billions of dollars over 10 lawsuits for deception of the public could suddenly be trusted? (See the history of Pfizer lawsuits here).

Has ANYONE in the party ranks started pushing Canada’s public health leaders for apologies re: their COVID-19 policies given the plethora of data now showing how ACCURATE their critics were? (See these two recent posts:

and

The political landscape has shifted such that many of us former devotees of the erstwhile Workers & Peoples' Party are now politically homeless, we are increasingly finding more of a "people before profit" ethic in some of the other parties instead.

During the COVID crisis, the NDP did NOTHING to protect Canadians against unscientific vaccine mandates. I believe the NDP of old would have retained its scepticism of coordinated messaging coming all at once via BigPharma, BigTech, BigMedia and would at the very least have asked to see actual debates between proponents of multiple viewpoints on the issue.

With cancer-related SV40 enhancer sequence admitted to even by Health Canada now building a new market for cancer drugs, the billionaires are getting even richer while the NDP says nothing about this at all. See this post outlining what else Health Canada knew about:

The NDP also said nothing against lockdowns which diverted money AWAY from small family owned businesses and TOWARD the likes of Jeff Bezos. Even BEFORE COVID-19 started its spread, Jeff Bezos was already sitting on insane amounts of money as illustrated here: https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/. Given the silence of the NDP vis-à-vis, BigPharma, BigTech, BigMedia these past 4 years, any NDP claims to now be standing against billionaires ring hollow.

WHAT THE “NDP OF OLD” WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY

If you had continued true to your core mandate (from the early decades of your party's history) as the party of workers and ordinary citizens, you would NOT have supported lockdowns, vaccine mandates and the like. You would have used your astute research skills and feisty communication tactics to point at ALL OF THE CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS among those driving health policy in Canada as was done here: https://www.cccalliance.ca/category/ethics-and-legal/. (Readers can put conflict of interest series in the search bar to find all five episodes posted so far).

You would have "followed the money" to identify Big Corp fingerprints all over the "Trusted News Initiative", the "fact checking networks" and other means of censuring professional "dissident" voices in the public sphere. You would make the rights of the vaccine injured workers to effective treatments and compensation payments one of your key priorities. You would have stood on the side of those Canadians who spared no cost and took weeks off work, to personally trek to our capital city to find a listening ear. Please take the time to view at least some of the documentaries listed in this brochure https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/two-countermeasures-against-media to understand that it was YOUR FORMER CONSTITUENCY, the blue collar workers, the youth, the immigrants, the Indigenous peoples, etc. who CAME TO YOUR DOORSTEP and who were so viciously attacked and turned away by YOU, the NDP folk and the governing Liberal party, who we all thought were in Ottawa to represent us. It is NOT TOO LATE to learn the stories of the working class Canadians who participated in the Freedom Convoy movement. See

By Donna Laframboise

This former mainstream journalist had to do her reporting privately, outside of her former mainstream media workplace, any idea why? WHY were government funded and corporate backed media outlets NOT ALLOWING these stories to be heard AND WHY was the NDP silent?

POLICY SUGGESTIONS RE: WAR & PEACE

It is the same with news around War and Peace. The NDP that I remember from decades past would also have understood what happens when communication networks are controlled by BigCorp. They would have been the first to seek alternatives to Military-Industrial Complex corporate-backed news programs and would find alternate ways of hearing news and analysis directly from former diplomats and military and intelligence analysts such as those found on the weekly zoom calls of the International Peace Coalition found here. The NDP of old would have done all they could to promote the associated Ten Principles of a New International Security and Development Architecture and The Oasis Plan: The LaRouche Solution for Peace Through Development Between Israel and Palestine and for All of Southwest Asia. The NDP of old would be out on the streets in every peace march for every conflict, urging disarmament and a position of neutrality for Canada. It was great to see one intelligent, peace related “Action” on the NDP website, namely the action to withhold arms spending to Israel. It is too bad that was not also backed with similar actions meant to reduce Canadian spending in other military conflicts meant primarily to enrich the military industrial complex without building any steps toward lasting peaceful relations between nations or ethnic groups.

When it comes to foreign policy, on their website, I can see exactly what the PPC says about “Economic sanctions against Russia” or about “Withdrawing from all UN commitments and organizations that threaten our sovereignty”. https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/61b95f3fa12ab5a4a4d3ffd9/67d84e01ff700159806fba45_Foreign_Policy_Policy_Printout_EN.pdf

As for the NDP’s foreign policy stances, I can only scroll around through all of the Actions you have on the bottom of the website, and happen upon one calling for a stop to arms sales to Israel, in the midst of a hodge podge of other actions, but beyond that, I see nothing on your site that just hints at your policies pertaining to the world outside of Canada.

Where are you indicating NDP party policy on these important matters? Since more details were only posted recently, what information did you provide those considering running as election candidates prior to the start of the campaign? Can someone send me a copy of your party policy document?

BIZARRE, PETTY & UNINFORMED “ACTION” IDEAS??

In the meantime, in addition to your 7 “plans” and 9 “commitments” all I have to go by is the puzzling collection of bizarre, petty and uninformed "actions" you include on your site. In one of them, your party is actively fear mongering about what it calls "hatred and bigotry of the far-right". Someone was planning an event to "outline the NDP's strategy for countering right-wing divisive politics in Canada." (LINK) I invite readers to get a better understanding of what the term "far right" actually means.... it is the very situation that the NDP support of the governing Liberals has gotten us into... the situation when BigBusiness dictates policy to the government. Please see the six case studies that have been going on under your watch as listed here: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/far-left-far-right-totalitarianism.

In another Action on your website, you encourage Canadians to "stand with Jagmeet against bullies and hate". (LINK) Sadly, Jagmeet stayed silent when Justin Trudeau spoke hatefully of the most critically-thinking of his fellow Canadians, those who insisted that without true INFORMED Consent and a positive Benefit to Risk ratio they could not sign on to untested injections. The plethora of evidence now showing that duly informed citizens were correct to assume the best way to spare demand on the health care system was to stay away from the COVID-19 shots has still not been acknowledged by any NDP voices. Given you are supposed to be the party of the people, why the silence? Do NDP policy makers now concede that they did not speak up against the biggest bullies of them all, the courts and the governments?

Even now, in 2025, courts continue ruling against truth tellers, whistleblowers and ordinary Canadians who are doing their part to support those suffering. Are you aware of how courts are throwing their weight around putting in place precedents that will forever restrain those who seek to resist power and authority for the sake of Justice? I invite you to familiarize yourself with the stories of dozens of "Homegrown Heroes" that are listed on pages 2 and 3 of this special issue of Canadian Shareable News. In how many cases were they bullied (and continued to be bullied) by the power of the courts, the medical colleges and the state? For how many of them have Jagmeet Singh and the NDP failed to stand up as they endeavoured to "tell truth to power"?

Someone within your organisation suggests that visitors to your site should sign up to ban US President Donald Trump from attending the G7 in Alberta, claiming that President Trump meets the definition of a "fascist" and that the point of the G7 summit should be to see "how the world can work together to resist Donald Trump". (LINK) It seems that some within your organization do not realize how threatening allies, spreading disinformation, proclaiming to be above the law and threatening global stability is NOT the definition of a fascist and could apply to any previous American president of the past decades. It appears that the person behind that action is unaware of the degree to which the Biden/Blinken/Sullivan regime posed a much greater threat to global stability, having brought us to the brink of nuclear war quite a few times last year, unbeknownst to watchers of mainstream news platforms. (LINK) NDP party members are invited to learn more about actual fascism by reading the numerous articles that come up when searching that term on our homepage.

A similar action presented to visitors of the ndp.ca site reads: MUSK IS THREATENING CANADIAN WORKERS. SIGN ON TO PUT TARIFFS ON TESLAS. Apparently the NDP has identified Elon Musk as a threat to Canadian workers, yet there is nothing in the description of the action to back that claim. Readers are asked to support an NDP policy of putting a 100% tariff on Tesla vehicles and a promise to give Canadians a $10,000 rebate for their purchase of an electric vehicle made in Canada. Given that there are no electric vehicles produced and assembled wholly in Canada, and that Elon Musk is not just reliant on Tesla income, and has many other business interests, it seems bizarre for the NDP to deem this a worthwhile strategy. Who at the NDP HQ putting this together is ignoring the obvious tariff—> plant closure —> job loss —> food bank trajectory?

Also, until very recently, electric vehicles of all kinds were promoted as a means to achieve a net zero emissions status in Canada. It is odd that since Mr. Musk was given the task of identifying excesses in government spending in the USA, Canada's NDP would now think that targeting Musk-owned Tesla would be a useful strategy for an undefined purpose. They appear not to be aware that climate conscious Canadians who had long been wanting to purchase a popular brand of EV will now need to wait much longer as Tesla sales far outpaced those of all other models. (60,000 Teslas compared to only 14,000 of the next leading brand were sold in Canada in 2023 - LINK) Could the recent rash of senseless desecration of Tesla dealerships by uninformed citizen activists be tied in any way to the NDPs promotion of such senseless targeting of Musk, a major deflection of the real reasons for Trump's initial tariff declarations? To whom should the Canadians who run car dealerships as their means of earning an income turn to get their premises cleaned up again? Will local NDP constituency associations teach their followers that such hooligan actions are not the best way for Canadians to show their civic duty? Who understands that there is zero chance these actions will affect the bottom line of our neighbour to the south, but can have a big effect on the business of local Canadian car dealerships?

I sincerely hope that when I receive the link to the full NDP party policy document, I can rest assured that whoever put it together has a far greater understanding of Canadian economic and social realities than those who devised these "Actions" on your website.

I also sincerely hope that NDP readers will have read this to the very end and will give these thoughts close consideration. I invite readers to examine any of the 47 weekly issues of Canadian Shareable News to note HOW MANY Of the stories being reported are ABSENT from the mainstream (corporate backed/government funded) news bubble in which they have been finding themselves.

We need ALL Canadians to pull their focus back from partisan bickering to notice the very real actions being undertaken almost daily be the proponents of global governance schemes.

LOOK to where everyone is NOT LOOKING:

I invite the NDP to put get back into their feisty anti-corp mode, but to do so with the understanding that they first have a good 5-10 years worth of catch up reading to do. Those on the right of the spectrum are often more well read on many of these matters, having preferred INDEPENDENT analysis and publications over those presented by the very governments that are pushing censorship and surveillance of information sources in this country.

A number of recommended starting points on matters pertaining to corporate/fascist totalitarian governance schemes are:

• The Globalist Monitor series presented by Niagara Journalist Chris George here:

Re: An easy way to annoy Pierre Poilievre

Hi XXXX,

Does your window need brightening up? Is your balcony feeling bare? Could your garden use some colour?

We have the perfect solution: get yourself a free NDP sign before they run out!

GET A SIGN

Thousands of people across the country have received theirs, and many more will be seeing theirs appear soon.

A sign is one of the ways you can show your neighbours that you stand against the billionaires who are just in for themselves. And that you are 100% not voting for Pierre Poilievre.

It’s how we spread the message that Canada wants a Prime Minister who’s fighting for the things we care about most: housing, healthcare, and affordability.

Oh, and we’ll drop it off and collect it after the election for free! But supplies are limited, and we only have a few left.

Show your neighbours where you stand before it’s too late:

Let’s paint the town orange!

Your NDP team

Please note: an SECOND UPDATE has been added to the bottom of the post, summarizing events since the Amber Alert with information gathered as of the morning of March 19. Also, 2 errors were corrected (spots marked with *).

Dear…

you recently posted stories along the following lines:

The amber alert issued in Vancouver on Thursday, March 13 has been called off, RCMP report.

Police said that the child has been located and is safe.

The investigation is ongoing.

This level of journalism is limited to rewriting an official police report.

Given a publication ban on this case, it is quite difficult to access the proverbial "other side of the story" and yet, that is exactly what the various ethics codes governing journalism in Canada require you to do - to present a diversity of viewpoints on matters of importance to Canadians. Journalists are required to be more than mouthpieces for government agencies.

I wish to introduce you to other sources who have been following this family's story. Jarryd Jäger has managed to get more information together as seen in this recent article published by The Western Standard. https://www.westernstandard.news/news/breaking-amber-alert-issued-in-vancouver-after-father-abducts-son-he-lost-custody-of/63085 You will note an earlier article on this family's story by Jonathan Bradley here: https://www.westernstandard.news/news/bc-man-loses-custody-of-child-for-criticizing-hospitals-healthcare-decisions/article_a0a85e64-2a34-11ee-bdba-b3ac66f5eb62.html

I also wish to introduce you to the organization known as Stop Medical Kidnapping. https://www.stopmedicalkidnapping.ca/general-6

The statement that the child is now "safe" having been removed from parental custody and returned to state custody takes on a different meaning once you have read over the case reports published by this organization.

In her testimony to the NCI Barbora Klima Bratova describes the ordeal her family went through when she and her husband were deemed abusive to their child, when in reality the child presented a rare medical condition. The same situation is described in the 2017 case of the parents of another child here: https://gregkear.wordpress.com/2020/03/12/innocent-until-accused/

The case of the 2 year old BC toddler differs in that his condition is not one of easily fractured bones. Instead, this child was born with an array of other conditions that have ended up with him in hospital and on a ventilator.* (He was put on ventilator breathing after contracting COVID-19 at the age of one month, and again after surgery.) But here also, the father (a trained medic) is being treated as an abusive parent for pointing out that the child can breathe on his own and that prolonged air flow at adult sized pressure is actually causing permanent harm and preventing proper trach development. This has been corroborated by ER physician Dr. Daniel Nagase who recently wrote:

Baby [T] was born with a rare genetic defect. He was put on a ventilator shortly after birth. By 10 months of age was found to be able to breathe well on his own for about 1/2 an hour as documented by video, nurses and a pediatrician on call. Despite being able to breathe on his own, he was forced to stay on a ventilator 24 hours a day by the senior pediatricians at pressure settings appropriate for an adult, despite being less than a year old. Senior doctors kept the excessively high ventilator pressures despite 2 consecutive x-rays proving overinflation of the lungs. [T]’s mother, father, and sisters were daily witness to the abuse....

(Using excessive pressures on a ventilator in children causes a problem called Tracheomalacia where the cartilage is thinned in the same way overinflating a balloon thins the rubber. After a long period of time on a ventilator at excessive pressures, a baby’s cartilage becomes thinned in a similar manner, such that when the ventilator pressure is removed, the airways collapse, like a stone hallway where the arches are too thin to support the walls and ceiling.)

Dr. Nagase has an interesting hypothesis when trying to understand the reason for the hospital's determination to keep the child permanently on a ventilator:

• Why would senior BC Children’s Hospital pediatricians want to keep a baby on a ventilator if he could breathe on his own?

  • Around 2002, the daily cost (aka bill to the taxpayer) for each day in an ICU was about $30,000 a day.⁶

  • The most resource intensive machine in the ICU is usually the ventilator, which by a low estimate would be about 1/2 of the $30,000 per day income to the hospital coming at the expense of the taxpayer.

  • Assuming that BC Children’s hospital has similar costs, keeping [T] on a ventilator brings in at least $15,000 per day to the hospital (At taxpayer expense).

• Is $15,000 per day the reason senior pediatricians at BC Children’s hospital kept baby [T] on a ventilator with excessive ADULT pressures long after he could breathe on his own?

• Baby [T]’s mother and father were daily witness to [T]’s abuse at the hands of pediatric doctors and nurses. Their repeated requests to stop the unnecessary ventilator caused doctors at BC Children’s hospital to use social workers to seize medical decision making and shut baby [T]’s parents out [of] medical decisions. I suspect the doctors did this so they could continue the unnecessary ventilator charges unimpeded.

Before the father took the child away in a failed attempt to retain custody, the parents shared this information with me:

• When the child was still in hospital, the father had removed the ventilator mask to show the attending physician something related to the child's breathing, yet that act was deemed to put the child at risk. From then on, the father was deemed as being a danger to his child.

• Similar to what was testified by Barbora Klima Bratova, it is often immigrants without a strong support network who fall victim to medical kidnapping cases. Often, parents who do not understand the implication of being asked to sign a document are led to believe doing so would speed up accessing care for their medically fragile child. Instead they end up signing away custody rights. This means that their children end up in foster care and parents are only able to see them for short time spans under supervision in the office of the child protection agency, if at all. * (As the father explains in this affidavit, it was the legal aid lawyer who consented to an Interim Custody Order without properly telling the parents of the implications of such an order.)

What is very disturbing, and this you will NOT find in RCMP reports released to the public, is how shortly following the father's action to take the child into his care, a Vancouver SWAT team apprehended the mother, putting her into a cage van. (specifically at around the 19 minute mark here https://rumble.com/v6qmuik-baby-theos-mother-arrested.html) It was clear from the bystander film footage that the mother was in a state of shock as the police arrived and was unable to clearly articulate the original problem. We at CSNews had witnessed how clearly the mother had been able to explain the backstory just days prior to this arrest. Dr. Nagase reported that the mother became unconscious and was transferred to a hospital following the police questioning.

For [T]’s mother, of stoic and strong constitution all the times that I have observed, to become unconscious and unresponsive after “Questioning” behind closed doors by the Vancouver Police Department is extremely suggestive of severe abuse....A human capable of empathy would have said, “I have to put you under arrest until you’re cleared as an accomplice to kidnapping, but I understand it is distressing to have your son taken away, so you may have a friend come with you for support during your arrest. This is not standard procedure, but we usually do not arrest mothers who care for their sons and daughters and have no criminal record. We’ll call a mental health squad car where you can sit together with someone and look outside. We won’t make you sit alone inside a dark cage inside a van.” And then they would have put [T]s mother in a car, not a cage. https://substack.com/home/post/p-159118147

It is bystander citizen journalists who glean more information than the police officers do when someone asks [T]'s grandmother to explain the events at around the 30 minute mark of the arrest video. They learn that the hospital's initial intention was to release the child to the custody of both the parents and the grandmother. All three had been given training on the cleaning and maintenance of the tracheostomy tube. Then social services reversed this and other decisions. The child was to be put in foster care near the parent's home in the Okanagan, but instead was moved to Vancouver, resulting in an 800 km round trip for each visit. The latest reversal appears to involve a decision to stop allowing parental visits at all.

Please CONTINUE reporting on this case, and seek more information about the backstory. And please report on the mother's wellbeing (or lack thereof) before simply restating what you glean from official police and government reports.

Please note that a number of other testimonies provided at the recent Edmonton hearings of the National Citizens Inquiry addressed matters related to the "care" of BC child protection services. Elder and Clanmother Dorothy Boyd testified that to her knowledge over a 4-5 year period over 200 children have been removed from one particular BC reserve with a population of 800. Often families have no knowledge of where their children end up and no way of remaining in contact. https://rumble.com/v6qcat0-clanmother-dorothy-boyd-mar-06-2025-edmonton-alberta-replay.html?e9s=src_v1_upp. And Joshua Lemons shared reports of his attempts to thwart efforts by child protective services to engage SWAT teams in taking children away, particularly to child trafficking teams. https://rumble.com/v6qehee-jd-lemmens-mar-07-2025-edmonton-alberta-replay.html?e9s=src_v1_upp Every one of the testimonies provided from March 6-8 touched on harms to children in some way, from EMF radiation to nutrition to changes to school curricula to child sexual abuse and known harms of mRNA injections. See the full list of expert witnesses here https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/hearings-2025/

UPDATE based on a new post by Dr. Daniel Nagase on March 17, 2025.

After taking his child from the social services vehicle car seat, the father departed from the scene along with his other children.

BC ER physician Dr. Daniel Nagase reported that the father took the children to the doctor’s home. Here Dr. Nagase was able to ascertain that the child is able to breathe without a ventilator, both indoors and outdoors, both while seated and while walking. Dr. Nagase provided his professional observations here: https://substack.com/home/post/p-159230992. Dr. Nagase’s report ends with his account of 10-15 SWAT team members raiding the coffee shop at which he and the father and the children were located. The assault involved snatching the child, grabbing a camera from one of the older children and pushing the father to the floor, weighing him down with two individuals and stepping on his fingers, all within full view of the remaining children. Dr. Nagase was picked up, taken out of the coffee shop and prevented from re-entering.

Journalists are invited to seek answers for the following questions (for starters):

- Following the police chase of the father who took his child from social service custody, was the child returned to the foster family? Will the child be forced back onto a ventilator, or will the medical reports such as the one made by Dr. Nagase lead to a cessation of this practice?

- Why was the mother arrested by a SWAT team and placed in a cage van instead of accompanied in a more compassionate manner by a mental health team?

- How did the mother end up unresponsive and unconscious while being questioned by police as reported by a BC ER physician familiar with the case?

- Where are both parents now?

- Where is the child now?

- Why did the social workers tell the police that the child will die if he is off the ventilator for two hours? Is there a mechanism to ensure that child protection service workers are receiving CURRENT instead of OUTDATED medical information about the children in their care?

- Will one or both of the parents be able to return home to care for the remaining children alongside the grandmother?

- What change of plan resulted in the child protective services visit with the father ending abruptly?

- Why were the parents initially trained in the care of the child's trach tube and then disallowed from retaining custody?

- Was a second (unbiased) medical opinion ever sought re: the ability of the parents to safely care for the child in the home?

- What influence do funding allocations to social service agencies have in care decisions?

- How different might this story have been had the terms of the Stop Medical Kidnapping being circulated in Ontario (https://www.stopmedicalkidnapping.ca/advocacy petition) already be in place all across Canada these past 10 years?

- Who can advocate for the petition in other provinces? (All it asks for is the right for a second expert medical opinion before parental custody is removed.)

- etc.

UPDATE based on Substack and Facebook posts by the father (noted by CSNews on March 19)

Police officers (and the Amber Alert) were stating that if the boy was “not found in 2 hours, he would die. He will suffocate, because he is missing a part of his ventilator.”

Meanwhile, the child appears healthy and able to breathe and laugh as explained by Dr. Nagase and as seen in video footage taken by the father.

The father explains in one of his posts that the child has been able to safely be off the ventilator for up to 7 hours at a time. So it is clear that information given to police by the franticly worried social services team is out of date. The entire debacle started two years earlier as the parents were demostrating (and as some medical practictioners confirmed) that the child could survive for 30 minutes off ventilator. Over time, this has been extended for longer durations.

From posts published by the father, when the police took the child away in the coffee shop mentioned by Dr. Nagase, it was done with such force that the child’s head hit the wall.

The father’s other recent posts make it clear that the police were quite brutal with him in their raid on the coffee shop (such that he suspects he sustained a broken rib along with his bruises). He was released from police custody late in the evening but the police kept his wallet, phone, keys to his vehicle (which included his arborist tools). The next day at around 4 pm he indirectly received a call from Social Services and was to appear in their office in less than 30 minutes for a discussion about the wellbeing of his three daughters who were also apprehended at the time of the raid. He did not think he would be able to get there because of the pain, and the lack of access to his vehicle. His question as to whether his wife could attend instead might lead one to believe that she had been released from police custody and was no longer in hospital at that time.

…

Here, the child’s mother writes about the complications surrounding the child’s birth, the first surgery, and the family’s living arrangements (in a camper on the hospital parking lot and in a Ronald MacDonald House). At the time of writing (October 2023) the child had been in hospital for 17 months.

To the Honourable Members of Canada’s Senate

RE: the continued need to VOTE DOWN Bill C-293

Soon you will return to business. April 1, 2025 is marked as your first fixed sitting date, but there are six “possible Senate sitting days” in your Calendar from March 25 onward. Your last full week of sittings ended December 17 (with one day prior to the freeze on regular parliamentary activity on February 4). In the nearly 3 months since you were last routinely in the Red Chamber, a LOT of information has been reported outside of the “mainstream media bubble”. But those who follow ONLY the Canadian Press, the CBC, CTV, Global, Globe & Mail, etc. are totally unaware of all of it. In fact, our government/corporate-backed “mainstream”, “establishment”, or “legacy” media continues building an elaborate Potemkin village on the airwaves.

A Potemkin village is a term used to describe a facade or deceptive appearance created to hide an undesirable reality, often in a political or economic context. It originates from the story of Grigory Potemkin, who allegedly built fake villages to impress Empress Catherine the Great during her visit to Crimea in 1787.

The Canadian Press (CP) bills itself as “Canada’s Trusted News Leader”. On the one hand, it is the news release services from which many of Canada’s smaller newspapers glean the stories they publish on a daily basis. On the other hand, it relies heavily on the services it provides to major corporations such as Visa, GE, and Postmedia as its business model. Yesterday, we read that “Liberal caucus members feel the party rejuvenated and united” now that “newly minted” Liberal leader Mark Carney “takes the reins from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau” (1) CP readers are being led to believe that the greatest threat to Canada is coming from US President Donald Trump (2) and that, for example, there was nothing wrong with the Canadian government’s policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, declared 5 years ago, on March 11 2020. (3)

The new Housing Minister Nathaniel Erskine-Smith confirmed that Cabinet and government CONTINUED TO OPERATE during the prorogation of Parliament. (4) This has not been reported to Canadians who have been led to believe that all work paused while the Liberals focussed on their leadership election. To describe a Cabinet operation out of sight and without public and media scrutiny, similarly unreported on like the ongoing work of the Privy Council members—lifelong appointees (5) who swear allegiance to King above Country— the word Politburo comes to mind.

A senior policymaking body in a political organisation, generally consisting of members who either are appointed by the party in control of the organisation or who attain membership through their personal political affiliations. The word politburo is most commonly used to refer to the highest political organ of the central committee in communist parties.

It is crucial that Canadian policymakers such as you, our Senators, seek true democratic transparency and look outside of the facade spun by the very news organizations bribe-funded by the Trudeau government. (6)

One technique most commonly used by the government funded media outlets to spin a deceptive narrative is to only include quotes by voices propping up ONE side of any issue. Another is to slip into the role of a corporate marketer, completely ignoring any failures or shortcomings of those being profiled. Instead of abiding by the various codes of media ethics that compel media outlets to provide journalistic balance (7), government/corporate backed media help build and maintain the facade. NOT mentioning “inconvenient truths” is their most commonly used form of disinformation.

As Nathaniel Erskine-Smith’s private members Bill C-293 returns to the Order Paper, please consider the following:

• Mark Carney appointed Marco Mendicino as his Chief of Staff. This former Minister of Public Safety was used as a tool by PM Trudeau to invoke the Emergencies Act in 2022 despite Ottawa police reporting NO VIOLENCE in Ottawa in relation to the Freedom Convoy. (8) Should a balanced news report, when mentioning Mendicino’s new position, not also make reference to how the most significant of Mendicino’s “achievements” was later deemed unconstitutional and breached the Charter rights of Canadians? (9)

• While all mainstream media eyes have been on the leadership race, Canada has descended ever more into a corporatist fascist state - the kind of system that passing Bill C-293 would formalize. Six examples (BC Health Professions Act; Aerial Spraying; Policy Horizons; Attack on Natural Health Products; Health Canada’s Drug Approval Process; & the Canadian Food Inspection Agency) have been outlined here (10).

• The entire biowarfare patent history of SARS-CoV-2 virus development and the development of the associated military countermeasure (COVID-19 genetic therapeutics marketed as vaccines) has been testified to at two Alberta events in the past two weeks. Patent researcher US Dr. David Martin has presented the irrefutable evidence going back decades speaking in person in Calgary (11) and virtually in Edmonton (12). Mainstream media outlets were all informed of this and invited to attend and declined to do so. Senators looking to analyze a bill on “Pandemic Preparedness” cannot proceed without understanding this information.

• A comprehensive review of the role of the US Department of Defence in leading this bioweapon development, directing pharmaceutical corporations as well as government responses has been prepared, posted and discussed in recent weeks. ALL Senators need to become aware of this crucial information. Former US pharmaceutical executive Sasha Latypova even includes Canadian links and connections in her comprehensive post entitled The Covid Dossier: A record of military and intelligence coordination of the global Covid event. (13)

• A thorough all-cause mortality analysis prepared by the independently run Correlations-Canada (a group focusing on research in the public interest) demonstrated medical countermeasures (such as the use of Remdesivir and ventilators) as well as lockdowns and the associated unemployment and despair as responsible for MORE deaths than SARS-CoV-2 virus related reasons. This riveting presentation by former Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada research fellow Dr. Denis Rancourt is another must-see for anyone looking to set “pandemic preparedness” policies. (14)

• A number of comprehensive books on multiple aspects of the public health response to the declared COVID-19 pandemic have now been published. This one by members of the Canadian Citizen Care Alliance includes basic introductions to questions of immune response, vaccine development, etc. and comes highly recommended to anyone trying to set policy in this area. (15) Given the wilful blindness of mainstream Canadian media on these matters, Canadians are increasingly turning to citizen journalists. The interviewer on this podcast spent the first few years under COVID posting his careful reviews of federal and provincial databases - interpreting them in layperson friendly language. Only recently has he stepped into the political realm to run as a Calgary city councillor.

Canadians who understand how mainstream media reporting was a critical part of the psychological operation foisted upon most of the western world are also keenly aware of how close to home the threat of a repeat operation has come to our shores.

With the “election” by a fraction of Canadians of Mark Carney to the position of Prime Minister, especially IF YOU the Senators are persuaded into passing Bill C-293, a Mark Carney government can piggy back onto the US extension of the emergency measures provision that is currently valid in the USA until 2029. (16) ANY declared “emergency” from a Housing Crisis, an Environmental Crisis, a US trade and tariff crisis, a manufactured Avian Flu Crisis, etc. can trigger in a totalitarian regime in this country.

As a reminder, you have received over 300,000 e-letters and countless other items of correspondence asking you, our chamber of “sober second thought” to stop the Bill that, while purporting to Prevent Pandemics, does anything but.

Please review also the extended press releases sent in September (17) and October (18) of 2024, as well as the information shared in this “Quiz” on pandemic prevention (19).

And finally, please review the extensive writings of Niagara ON journalist Chris George (20). Not only has he provided much needed information around C-293 and its related issues, he has also started a monthly “Globalist Monitor” publication that MUST BE SEEN BY EVERY Senator asap.

We are counting you YOU, Honourable Senators to keep us from ever more totalitarianism in Canada.

Sincerely,

To the author of this news story:

Federal government offers $1.2 million to B.C. farmer ordered to cull ostrich

Dear Vancouver Sun Writer,

Your report on the ostriches has a few glaring omissions:

• The order to kill the ostriches, healthy ostriches, is based on a FLAWED PCR test. This test is not an acceptable measure of any kind of infection and even less a test of potential transmission.

• Please also research the facts that CFIA did NO other testing of feces, of soil or indeed of any migrating birds.

• Please note that an anonymous call Dec 29 led CFIA to the farm.

It doesn’t take much research, (if staff writers still do any independent research) to determine that Kerry Mullis deemed his PCR test was not to be used as a diagnostic tool. Sadly, he is dead.

Please let me know if you want me to point you in the direction of real journalism.

Informing CFIA of Citizen Outrage re: its own Actions (Message & Response)

As a BC citizen and supporter of local farmers and local produce, I am OUTRAGED that culling these innocent animals is even remotely an issue. The so called science being used to make this decision is completely erroneous and UNPROVEN. This is an psy-op designed to financially break the farmer. Stop this insanity immediately.

West AI Info Officer / Ouest IA Agent d'Information (CFIA/ACIA) <cfia.WestAIInfoOfficer-OuestIAagentdinformation.acia@inspection.gc.ca>

Hello NAME

Thank you for contacting us with your concerns about the ostrich farm in BC.

The CFIA's ongoing response to the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak in domestic birds is in an effort to protect the health of Canadian animals, the Canadian public and the livelihoods of many Canadian poultry farmers. The CFIA is committed to following Canada’s stamping-out policy for domestic birds infected with avian influenza. We take the responsibility to protect the health of animals and Canadians extremely seriously as we conduct these necessary disease control measures.

When the difficult measure of depopulation is completed, producers can be awarded compensation under the Compensation for Destroyed Animals and Things Regulations. Compensation is based on the fair market value of the animals. For ostriches, compensation of up to $3000 per bird can be awarded.

We understand your concerns, and invite you to learn more about the CFIA's response to HPAI ostriches.

III Challenge to the CFIA re: PCR testing

Challenging the Testing Techniuque being referenced by the CFIA Officer

Email to the Info officer and to Mr Paul McKinnon CFIA

Here is a little 2 part challenge for you: if CFIA is using scientific procedure to pursue a death sentence for 400 HEALTHY ostriches, why is the PCR test the ONLY test used?

a) Please provide reasoning for using ONE test only and ignoring all other evidence to decide death is the only solution to a minor health problem at a very specialized farm.

b) Provide Proof that the PCR test is a valid test with high reliability. What were the number of cps used in the PCR test?

https://truthinplainsight.com/kary-mullis-nobel-prize-winning-scientist-on-the-pcr-test/

There is not much time left. If the CFIA persists in using faulty and incomplete testing to prove the ostriches are an ONGOING health risk, they will be committing an irreversible action that sets an alarming precedent.

Please do your due diligence before further action is taken at the ostrich farm.

IV CSNews Article (January 28, 2025)

Here is a copy of our Canadian Shareable News article on the topic:

Drastic Impacts on Farmers due to ramped up Avian Flu Scare

An anonymous call to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has led to CFIA officials ordering 400 healthy ostriches being culled on February 1, 2025. This family farm had been raising ostriches for nearly 40 years. The animals are not being raised for food. Rather, the eggs are used for antibody research as reported here: www.castanet.net/news/BC/342596/BC-ostrich-farm-developing-antibodies-that-could-put-an-end-to-the-coronavirus. The CFIA’s manual on Avian Influenza (AI) does not specify whether AI testing and surveillance involves PCR testing. For SARS-CoV-2 testing, virologists confirmed that PCR testing greatly overestimates infections with many false positive test results. In November 2024, Siemens Farms in Abbotsford, B.C. was previously expected to cull 30,000 hens. CFIA’s Genomic’s Unit provides this open source repository of data tools. Supporters of the ostrich farm fear its owners may be charged a $200,000 fine or up to 6 months in jail if at this point in the process they treat their ostriches instead of culling them. Supporters may get more information here.

V. Canada’s Ostrich Story on Popular US Show

Jimmy Dore was a famous US comedian even before his own COVID-19 vaccine injury. Since that time, he has used his comedy platform to highlight many “inconvenient” news stories not being given balanced coverage in the mainstream media ecosystem. This was his interview with the daughter of the ostrich farm owner on January 30, 2025.

A co-host on the Jimmy Dore Show had previously taken time to speak to another BC resident to get more insight into the depth of censorship in Canada. In June, 2024, former Global News producer Anita Krishna shared what happens in Canada when mainstream media journalists ask too many questions.

VI Predicting a Psy-Op - The leaked Health Canada Zoom call

A psychological operation is a tactic of Fifth Generation Warfare.

A psychological operation (psyop) is an unit of psychological warfare, which takes a hostile stance to other people and tries to trick them.^[1]

Former CIA agent Philip Agee defined psychological operations as "propaganda (also known simply as media), work in youth and student organizations, work in labor organizations (trade unions, etc.), work in professional and cultural groups, and in political parties".^[2] (https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Psyop)

So far, five “generations” of warfare have been identified.

Fifth-generation warfare (5GW) is propaganda and information warfare to accomplish strategic, operational, and tactical objectives, without measurable damage that the target can identify. Importantly in 5GW the target may not even know it has been attacked, thus the target has already lost that battle.^[2]

Fifth-generation warfare is conducted primarily through non-kinetic military action, such as social engineering, misinformation, and cyberattacks, along with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and fully autonomous systems. Fifth generation warfare has been described by Daniel Abbot as a war of "information and perception".^[3]

The COVID-19 project has involved an unprecedented level of internet censorship and gaslighting to the point of being termed menticide - an attack on the mind. James Corbett writes: "Most of the victims of this warfare aren't even able to identify it as war, nor do they understand that they are combatants in it."^[4]

@whatsupcanada

Wayne Peters founded an independent media platform after personally seeing the disconnect between ‘mainstream’ media reporting and events unfolding in real life. In particular, he observed glaring lies in reporting on the 2019 United We Roll convoy of oil and gas industry workers protesting the potential impacts of current federal energy policies.

February 14, 2019, I went out on my first assignment, by request, to cover and document a convoy of Canadians who set out from Alberta.

They left in the dead of a nasty winter on an adventure that by the time it was over I knew had planted the seeds of a very different society of Canadians, those resisting Globalism. https://whatsupcanada.org/about/

On January 31, 2024 Peters points out a number of connections:

Bird flu insanity is here, the government has embraced totalitarianism and unjustified murder. Canada's pattern of obsessive extremism is unjustified, it should come as no surprise this is under Mark Holland’s portfolio.

In addition to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Canada’s Health Minister Mark Holland’s portfolio includes oversight of the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program and of the Canadian Institutes for Health Research. The latter is a funding agency for “Science Up First” which purports to fight misinformation.

In the broadcast episode entitled Unjustified Government - Fake Virus, Fake Tests, Real Culling, Peters references a leaked Zoom call involving Canada’s Public Health lead, Dr. Teresa Tam, in conversation with provincial public health officials including Dr. Bonnie Henry of British Columbia. On this call, it becomes clear that officials in the Canadian Agriculture Branch did not share Dr. Tam’s concerns about a potential animal to human transmission of Avian Flu. Statements such as the following are heard in this discussion:

‘The message is not getting across’

'We have methods to escalate so we need to morph into what we have'

'Enhanced surveillance'

‘Layers of more surveillance regarding the swine and relevant farm animals regarding the provinces’

‘Expand search capacity down the line’

‘Goat Milk, Sheep Milk use creativity’. ‘farm cats are pets’

Things can be done: Community 'outrage' Bonnie suggests through the raw milk people

Through Chief Veterinarians

"We shut down mink farms and they launched a law suit against us that was just thrown out yesterday.. " giggles Bonnie Henry.

Peters summarizes the content of the leaked Zoom call as follows:

Dr Tam is architecting the next manufactured Pandemic in this leaked zoom call….

First they want to find it, (so search harder...) then they have to expand it, then they have to scream prevention. Move faster, get the veterinarians involved, it's relatively urgent. We're developing the surveillance. On the messaging... focus on the raw milk people and this will go fairly smoothly. Don't feed your cats raw milk??? We'll shut down the meat farms, coming for yours Ontario....

VII A 30 day Reprieve

Posted on the Save Our Ostriches page of the BCRising website

UPDATE – January 31, 2025 – We Won Phase 1

Our fantastic team of scientists and lawyers went to court for an injunction to halt the mass slaughter of the 400 Ostriches.

We won the injunction to keep the ostriches alive until a judicial review is heard on the original order. The review must be done within 30 days.

VIII The Larger Context

Many are noting that this story about 400 ostriches and a potential monetary “bail out” has bigger ramifications that simply a farm family about to lose their livelihood due to public health orders. For the larger context, we are choosing to add links to various other posts.

Due to the collusion between the world’s largest pharmaceutical, media and surveillance corporations, public health, political and other decision makers are operating without accurate evidence-based information on health, pandemics, climate and more. People have been noting a long standing move toward global health governance specifically and global governance more generally.

The link to this post from October 23, 2024 was sent to members of Canada’s Senate to provide further context ahead of the planned second reading of Bill C-293. CSN Press Room - 'One Health' vs 'Gain of Function': Which pandemic cause has stronger evidence? It its bioweapon ‘gain of function’ research that drives pandemics.

There is a long history of lab based manipulation of avian flu as outlined by bioweapon expert Dr. Meryl Nass. Search for ‘avian flu’ here.

The answer key to a brief quiz on Pandemic Prevention here leads to links and explanations around the long history of Global Health Governance initiatives.

The author at Wine Press News devotes a section to “Medical Mandates”. A resent post, entitled HHS Gives Moderna $590 Million To Produce MRNA Bird Flu Vaccine, As Georgia Halts Poultry Sales Due To Infection

The United States Health and Human Services (HHS) is providing biotech company Moderna to create a new mRNA vaccine to combat H5N1 bird flu, an outbreak that purportedly continues to get worse and worse by the day, such as in the case in Georgia where poultry sales have been halted after the virus was detected in the state.

Other posts here include:

As was the case with SARS-CoV-2, it took laboratory ‘Gain of Function’ research to sufficiently enhance a naturally occurring pathogen. This study discusses the potential for such research involving ducks in laboratories in the Netherlands and in Georgia being the source of H5N1 Avian Influenza.

Proximal Origin of Epidemic Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b and Spread by Migratory Waterfowl

IX IMPLICATIONS

On its website, Health Canada refers to a “widespread epidemic of avian influenza” https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/avian-influenza-h5n1.html

Human infections with avian influenza A(H5N1) are rare and usually occur after close contact with infected birds or highly contaminated environments such as poultry farms or live animal markets. Infection may also occur after exposure to other infected animals, including wildlife and livestock, such as cattle. Learn more about who is most at risk of exposure and infection.

Some infected people may not develop any symptoms at all. However, if symptoms do develop, illness can range from mild to very severe, including death. It usually takes from 1 to 5 days, and occasionally longer, for symptoms to appear after exposure.

And yet, Health Canada also states:

Avian influenza is not a food safety concern. There is no evidence to suggest that eating cooked poultry or eggs could transmit the virus to humans.

Meanwhile,

• 400 Ostriches face extermination in British Columbia

• hundreds of thousands of chickens are being “depopulated” - particularly in the USA

• chicken deaths reported “because of avian flu” are often more likely because of the culling of healthy chickens out of “an abundance of caution” as explained here

• in addition to food shortages due to drought, weather events and disruptions in the supply chain, culling protein sources will drive up cost and lead to hunger

(no longer accessible on the website)

I wonder whether journalists such as yourselves are ASSIGNED stories to cover, or if you are free to follow up of your own volition, for example, when a story you have previously reported on continues to evolve.

The implications of the (TOPIC) are far larger than most people realize. They are very clearly outlined here: (XXXX). —> Find the larger issue. For example:

The disciplinary hearing revolves around whether or not Constable Grus' attempt to follow up on one possible cause of sudden infant deaths being reported at the time was AUTHORIZED. This despite the fact that her very status as police officer gave her the only authorization she needed. If she loses the case now before the OPS disciplinary panel, the implication is that ANY time ANYwhere in the country, if someone does not like the direction in which a police officer's investigation is going, someone will have the authority to stop it, for example, the heads of police agencies themselves. IF they are corrupt, we arrive at the end of the rule of law.

For a past event: It looks like neither you, or anyone from (YOUR MEDIA PLATFORM) or the CBC, CTV, Global, ….etc. chose to inform Canadians of this important story. Why not? Is there a reason that readers of major Canadian newspapers or viewers of major Canadian news shows should NOT be informed of the recent developments in a case of such importance? Why should it only be Canadians who follow (NAMES OF ‘alternative’/’independent’/’free’ journalists) who are being exposed to this story? Why should Canadians not find out about ….?

To support busy journalists, Canadian Shareable News has prepared a press release, as well as three addenda all posted here.

I also encourage you to review the new feature on CSNews - the PDF Scrum Time Questions Worth Investigating (launched in Issue 41 here)

NOW TO THE INFORMATION TRAIL…

The graphic below shows 2 very different pathways by which scientific information makes its way to the public: Trail A in green shows the censoring powers that prevent decision makers in governments, workplaces and throughout society from having access to evidence-based scientific information. The dotted green line indicates "underground" pathways via uncensored (usually smaller independent) platforms.

If you follow the green trail, you will see in a simplified form, how evidence-based information did NOT make its way to policy makers, employers, media influencers, etc. but did make its way to people who make a point of accessing multiple sources of news, not only mainstream reporting but a wide range of smaller independent sources, such as those we follow at CSNews. (See the collage of logos inculdedin our special year-end issue 40!)

Other parts of the population only had access to information that was outdated, filtered, curated and fraught with 'disinformation by omission' as represented by Trail B in orange. —> This changes depending on the story at hand: Det. Grus was obviously privy to early evidence-based information that her superiors either did not have or did not wish to acknowledge. The reason that people like Detective Grus sounded out of place in their places of work was that the majority of the colleagues and supervisors were unaware of the existence of a whole "other side" to the story. The forces blocking Trail A used no end of defamatory silencing tactics to keep decision makers and the public from knowing that "alternate" explanations and recommendations existed. A key tactic was to purposely misinform the population, by telling them that to share uncompromised evidence-based information was to 'spread misinformation'. The classic example of this is Canada's top public health official making claims that the mRNA injections were safe and recommended for pregnant women while at the same time having access to data that did not support those claims, and that, if followed correctly, totally countered those claims. (Has anyone on mainstream media dared to report this? https://www.canadiancovidcarealliance.org/featured/covid-19-mrna-genetic-vaccines-were-pregnant-and-breastfeeding-women-told-the-truth/ Will YOU be the first 'mainstream' journalist to breach the code of silence?)

Given that all mainstream media outlets were invited to attend the many hearings held nationwide by the National Citizens Inquiry, why is it that next to NONE attended or simply reported on the live streamed proceedings? A YEAR AND A HALF ago, lawyer Shawn Buckley testified under oath that changes to Health Canada's drug approval process resulted in the agency NOT PROVING COVID-19 vaccines safe and effective before authorization. Please investigate to prove us wrong when we claim that this bombshell of a story was never reported on in our government funded major media platforms. ALL mainstream platforms abdicated their duty to provide this information to Canadians.

Currently, summaries of "mainstream" media reports are the only sources provided to our federal MPs in the course of their work. Absent active, honest and fulsome reporting of crucial issues by mainstream media platforms, Canadian politicians like Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health MP Yasir Naqvi end up relying on patent falsehood in the course of their work. https://openparliament.ca/search/?q=COVID%20vaccine%20proven%20safe AND it took nearly FOUR ENTIRE YEARS from the start of the roll out of the COVID-19 injections before these Conservative MPs started asking questions - questions that should have been up for public discussion BEFORE the mass roll out of known toxins in the fall of 2020.

Here we see government sources admitting having used taxpayer dollars to keep Canadians, their medical and legal professionals and all manner of decision makers from having access to a full understanding of argumentation of multiple sides of key issues. https://www.westernstandard.news/news/records-show-feds-paid-369k-to-silence-critics-during-covid/61049

Access To Information records show the Trudeau Liberals in 2019 launched a costly “fact-checking” program to “counter coronavirus misinformation.”

Records obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter show then-Democratic Institutions Minister Karina Gould paid researchers nearly $370,000 to discourage media and the public from questioning authority. Media Smarts of Ottawa, the federal contractor, was paid $369,975 for the project titled Critical Thinking In The Digital Age: Countering Coronavirus Misinformation. It encouraged media and the public to avoid questioning government advisories.

“Our review drew on literature on social norms which established that a very small number of dissenting voices, in some cases even just one, can weaken the power of a normative belief,” wrote researchers.

The complete success of those blocking the free flow of evidence based scientific information and the failure of Canada's mainstream journalists to seek evidence based information directly need to be addressed and mitigated as soon as possible. Honest coverage of the hearing of Det. Grus as well as the recent disciplinary action against Dr. Sonja Kustka (Issue 38) and the upcoming action against Dr. Rochagne Killian https://opsdt.ca/hearings/upcoming-hearings would be a great place to start.

Sincerely,

NAME

In the 9 years since you became a Senator, a lot has changed in the medical and geopolitical context. It might be that your daily duties around other topic areas in the Senate have prevented you from taking the time to delve into these directly over the years. Please allow me as a concerned citizen to share some of these changes with you. I am copying the Alberta Senators, as that is where I live. I am also copying the the Speaker of the Senate, so that she too is privy to what I am sharing here.

Among the big changes, this one stands out in particular: The World Health Organization has now been infiltrated with 217 ‘non-state actors’, i.e. the very compromised entities that use their ‘philanthropy’ to ensure access to a position on the voting floor right alongside nations. (Perhaps you can ask your research staff to find out whether the vote of a delegate from the Bill and Melinda Gates, or Rockefeller, or Clinton Foundation counts EQUALLY to that of a single delegate from a single country. I have not been able to ascertain that from my position as a citizen.)

A slide show accessible here (https://www.canadaexitwho.org/learn/breaking-barriers) links viewers to quotes by the former Director General of the WHO, Canadian Dr. Margaret Chan. By  2017, at the end of her term, she was already very concerned about the capture by the non-nation donors, who, as she put it, often prevented the WHO from carrying out its projects as it saw fit.

(This quotation is found at the very end of then video found here.)

I wonder whether you as a Senator have the freedom to reach out to her, as she would be able to provide much needed context. Hopefully, she can also give you her assessment on the worsening situation around agency capture and how it tied into the mishandling of the Covid Crisis globally. By 1990, it was said that voluntary contributions (i.e. those from the non-state actors) had increased to 54% of total funds and make up almost 80% of WHO’s total income (US$ 4.4 billion for 2016-2017). Since 2017, under DG Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the problem has only intensified. In fact, since 2019, the WHO has officially been engaged in a partnership with the world's largest corporate lobby group, the World Economic Forum. But you would be hard pressed to find reports of that development in the search engine of "Canada's trusted news leader" the Canadian Press News agency. (www.thecanadianpressnews.ca). Heads of Pfizer and Moderna, along with investment giant Blackrock are known as "Agenda Shapers" at the World Economic Forum (WEF).

 So when top figures of top global corporations shape the agenda of the partner organization to the very organization that is putting together the “One Health” agenda being passed along to Canadian MPs and Parliamentarians… is there a term for such a process? There is so much hubbub in Ottawa these days about “Foreign Interference” but plenty of silence around the “Foreign Corporate Interference” we are seeing right before our eyes!

In 2012, Canada’s current Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland, wrote:

“It is a measure of the financial and intellectual power of plutocrats in the world economy that their goal is to guide the state. Indeed, the muscle of the philanthro-capitalists is such that they can sometimes unintentionally distort the social safety nets of entire nations. … Where things get really complicated is when the philanthro-capitalists use their money to finance a political agenda that dovetails with their personal business interests or with the interests of the plutocratic class as a whole.” PLUTOCRATS - THE RISE of the NEW GLOBAL SUPER-RICH and the FALL OF EVERYONE ELSE Chrystia Freeland - THE PENGUIN PRESS, NEW YORK 2012 http://digamo.free.fr/pluto12.pdf

Have you ever spoken to Hon. Chrystia Freeland about her book profiling the very types of ‘plutocrats’ with whom she hobnobs regularly while moonlighting from her duties in Ottawa whenever she steps into her role as a member of the World Economic Forum's Board of Trustees? (https://www.weforum.org/people/chrystia-freeland/) This despite the very clear directives on Parliament Hill that all who work there must avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. When you do have a chance to speak to her, please ask her how she has managed to hold down both roles without any kind of investigation as to a potential conflict. If my calculations were correct, 2 years back, I had noted that since Mme Freeland took over the Finance portfolio, Canada's contribution to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) jumped significantly with a per capita ratio much higher than that of other nations. Essentially, CEPI monies go directly to vaccine manufacturers, with the condition that they reduce purchase prices for products sold to lower income countries.  Funnelling monies to one's fellow WEF colleagues via your position as Minister of Finance seems to me more than just the ‘appearance’ of a conflict of interest. 

Also please ask Mme Freeland if she has an explanation of the statements about Canada's Parliament made by the CEO of the WEF. He has publicly stated with pride how Canada's Parliament was "penetrated" by the WEF. How is the public to understand that? If Ms. Freeland tells us this is not true (i.e. it is a conspiracy) then she essentially admits that the lead voice of her organization cannot be taken seriously. if it is true, Canadian Parliamentarians have no business downgrading this very serious example of outside interference as simply a conspiracy. Here we can see, in reverse order, the shutting down of a question that related to that very comment. https://rumble.com/vvdt55-member-of-parliament-asks-the-speaker-about-alleged-klaus-schwab-interferen.html

I wonder how you came to cite the advisor to the WEF, Mr. Noah Yuval Harari, in your speech? Was this just a harmless quote you or a staff member happened to write into your speech without further investigation into the nature of the person being quoted? Or have you been privy to presentations by Mr. Harari yourself, either in person or through videos found through simply searching up his name online? He has a significant presence on the website of the WEF itself, where he too, is listed as an Agenda Shaper.

It would be flabbergasting if in this day and age you were unaware of how deeply disturbing your reference to the advisor to the World Economic Forum was, when you chose to cite him in your introduction to Bill C-293 of all things. About half way through this video compilation he states that one should not let a crisis go to waste - the eerie line you cited. Please note the creepy comments he makes during the rest of this 6.25 minute recording. https://rumble.com/vufrgx-tranhumanism-klaus-schwab-and-dr.-yuval-noah-harari-explain-the-great-reset.html. His statements include "Soon at least some corporations and governments will be able to systematically hack all the humans.. we are now hackable animals; it will be the end of free will"

Here he discusses: The end of human history - Alien intelligence to build culture & possibility of building total surveillance regimes  https://rumble.com/v3kmyjg-yuval-noah-harari-potentially-we-are-talking-about-the-end-of-human-history.html. This PDF https://r.8b.io/387157/assets/files/Yuval_Harari_May_15.pdf contains notes being circulated about Mr. Harari back in 2021, just to provide more examples to you why your reference to this man in your speech was so off-putting. No one else seems to be "saying the quiet part out loud" quite like he does:  "Covid is critical because this is what convinces people to accept, to legitimize total biometric surveillance.” (WOW! What an example of never letting a good crisis go to waste! I certainly hope this is not what you were alluding to in your speech!!) Or  “With this kind of surveillance, (you can detect dissent). I mean, you watch the big President, the big leader, give a speech on television — the television could be monitoring you and knowing whether you're angry or not just by analyzing the cues, the biological cues coming from your body."

It seems the government of Canada has been working on all manner of projects to unpack, track or hack life for a long time already. I wonder when or whether the Senate approved bills leading to the formation of the extensive Policy Horizon department? project? division? of our government. And how much money it is costing us? Under whose oversight?  It is certainly another project not being reported on the Canadian Press website.  Is this the model for the type of "pandemic coordination" office that Bill C-293 calls for? Something running under the radar, connected not only to the “Global Health Governance” mechanisms long being considered over at the World Health Organization, but also to “Global Technology Governance” initiatives in discussion at the World Economic Forum, to which Noah Yuval Harari and our very own Deputy Prime Minster & Finance Minister most certainly would have pled allegiance a long time ago. 

Our question is - are you inadvertently being used as a tool to help make these twin dictatorial governance models a reality in this country? Or has our Senate also already been "penetrated" as Mr. Schwab so enthusiastically said of other parts of our government? 

To learn more about the WHO’s history of “Global Health Governance” run through the 12 questions in this Quiz highlighting how Bill C-293’s Pandemic Prevention proposals do nothing of the sort. Then pay special attention to the Governance information tied to the answer key.

PLEASE, PLEASE push back against the technocratic forces at both the WEF and its partner the WHO, and vote Bill C-293 DOWN ASAP, or find a way to WITHDRAW your introduction of this Bill. Can the procedures of HOIST or REASONED OBJECTION apply? Or is it enough for you to announce to your colleagues that you wish to retract it? We need something that will stop the thing in its tracks. We need something like the proposal shared with the original initiator of the Bill that takes into account the actual homegrown scientific, medical, legal and emergency response expertise in this country. Please consider the attachments and information here:

In addition to citing the prophet of dictatorial transhumanism for a Bill that threatens to give unlimited influence or powers to unnamed, unelected entities, the second major concern we had with your introduction to the Bill is that you appeared woefully uninformed about what actually happened prior to December 2019 in terms of getting the world ready for a pandemic scenario. This included changing definitions for “pandemic” “vaccine” “immunity” etc; patenting both the engineered virus and genetically interconnected “vaccine” products; holding simulations in which parties who stand to profit from lockdowns play a major role; having corporate entities prepare reams of ‘handbooks’ for every conceivable new BigTech venture, they wish governments to enact for them, etc. In the case of the latter, at Health Canada, someone changed the regulatory framework to dispense with robust safety trials that could successfully be replicated in favour of a more “agile” process advocated for by industry. This major change ensured every Canadian public health official who repeated the line that “COVID-19 vaccines are proven safe and effective” was lying, please take the time to listen or read through this testimony given a year and a half ago and also NOT COVERED by the Canadian Press news agency. https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/witness/shawn-buckley/#1689907599686-b8452d36-bb092636-5e52 It provides a chilling analysis of the goings on at Health Canada in alignment with one of the countless ‘AGILE’ ‘Agendas’, ‘Handbooks’ or other ‘Guidelines’ being prepared by the corporate members of the world’s largest lobby group specifically to influence and shape government policy.

What business would Big Business have in national, provincial, territorial or municipal governments? How dare they interfere in what local representatives are elected to be doing within cities, and countries following the will of the citizens who put them into those positions? When before did coalitions like this one have the ear of a government willing to sell its soul for the big bucks? Bayer + BMW + Ford + Hugo Boss + IBM + Kodak + Siemens + Volkswagen + more? SOURCE

When corporations have the ear of governments, when they suggest policies in their interests (coaxing elected officials if necessary); when they have the power to surveil, censor and eliminate critical speech; when politicians and the media play along; when citizen oversight is lacking; and when elected officials lose sight of their role beyond arranging matters comfortably for those paying the big bucks, the term to use is ‘corporatism’ also known as ‘fascism’ or ‘the corporate fascist state’ and now… ‘stakeholder capitalism’. The artist of this partisan cartoon intended it as a commentary on the recent results of the US election, and uses it to perpetuate certain tropes. However, this cartoon also ends up illustrating the apparent powerlessness of the public compared to the extreme danger and power of corporate fascism.

Image Source: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=curatolo%20cartoon

When we consider the power of the corporations who have for decades been progressively taking over our once-trusted institutions and as we become aware of the reality that global transnationals are using their power to influence our Parliamentarians and shape their policies, we realize that Mme Freeland was right a decade ago when she said:

philanthro-capitalists use their money to finance a political agenda that dovetails with their personal business interests.

We count on the Senate, Canada’s Chamber of Sober Second Thought, to do the right thing. Please put an end to all this.

Sincerely,

For an explanation of what the World Economic Forum is rebranding as ‘stakeholder capitalism’ please view this documentary.

Two invitations are going out to Canadian Health Reporters or publications to allow you to clear up some misinformation around mRNA vaccine injections.

Most Canadian readers look to health journalists to be the trained professionals who can sift through complex conflicting data in order to present the key insights into health topics most important to them. Yet with the near total embargo of evolving evidence-based information in the public square, even health reporters often end up circulating outdated or biased conclusions when they lack open access to explanations from a range of perspectives on key issues.

Tonight at 8 pm EST, journalists and the general public are invited to log into to a Round Table discussion entitled Demystiftying mRNA Technology. It will be hosted by the independently run National Citizens Inquiry here: https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/live/. The recording will remain on the site following its live broadcast.  For more information please see: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/csn-press-room-hearing-from-silenced

As well, journalists and the general public are invited to learn about the two books being launched by the scientific and medical experts of the Canadian Citizens Care Alliance by viewing: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/csn-press-room-youtube-removes-video 

Both opportunities will allow health journalists to extend their understanding of the most ground-breaking and controversial "innovation" in health sciences in decades, the use of mRNA vaccines. This was implemented during the global COVID-19 crisis, but is also planned for further use for other diseases and health conditions. Currently over 270 related products have been prequalified by the World Health Organization without any open discussion surrounding their functions and pathways of harm.

Funding overseas development

From December 2022 to December 2025 Health Canada has committed up to $30 million towards the establishment and/or operation of a Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) Technology Transfer Hub in an unspecified location in South Africa ("South of Sahara"). The description for Project # CA-3-P011103002 reads:

The project focuses on a COVID-19 vaccine as proof-of-concept. It also aims to support a pipeline of future mRNA vaccine candidates -such as tuberculosis, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and malaria- to ensure long-term sustainability. Project activities include: (1) preparing the technology transfer hub facility in South Africa, including training staff and technical assistance; (2) developing mRNA vaccine technology; (3) conducting research and development activities; (4) transferring the mRNA vaccine manufacturing platform and providing bio-manufacturing training and critical equipment to partner facilities in Bangladesh Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa; and (5) supporting research to develop second-generation mRNA technology for different target diseases relevant to low- and middle-income countries. https://w05.international.gc.ca/projectbrowser-banqueprojets/project-projet/details/p011103002?lang=eng

Acknowledging Past Harms

Neither Health Canada nor any of the provincial/territorial Public Health Authorities have yet to acknowledge the highly negative risk to benefit ratio of developing mRNA vaccine technology. 

In October, 2024, the Canadian Medical Association issued an apology for a range of harms perpetrated in the past on indigenous peoples in this country, including medical experimentation, forced sterilization and the failure to recognize traditional Indigenous health-care practices. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/unreserved/medical-harms-indigenous-people-cma-apology-1.7355104 Similar apologies will need to be issued with regards to the Canada's COVID-19 response both here at home and with regards to funding toxic product in faraway continents. This included medical experimentation, the many resulting harms to human health, the reduction of overall population fertility and the failure to recognize those long standing treatments used extensively in those African and Asian countries with a much greater success than the novel mRNA injections. 

Canada's choice to contribute to the manufacture of such harmful products in out of the way places would be laudable IF the products did not contribute to such worsening of population health. Without uncensored and unfiltered access to evolving peer reviewed medical and scientific findings, Canada's health journalists have been in a very difficult position these past four years. 

What is needed is a heartfelt commitment both to the scientific process and to journalistic ethics. Scientists committed to the scientific process understand how this REQUIRES critical and ongoing oversight of proposed hypothesis-derived responses, the proof of which is transient, until new observations and continuous revisions are made. Unfortunately Canadian health journalists have contributed to the vilification of the medical and scientific professionals who have been committed to continuous observation, analysis and revision of working hypotheses. 

About Us

For the past 35 weeks the fledgeling Canadian Shareable News has been linking readers to news reports appearing primarily OUTSIDE of mainstream media. These include stories on various environmental, health-related, legal, financial, social, war & peace and other topics. As you know, factors that have kept these stories off the radar of Canadians following major news outlets are many. In order to support journalists in accessing news that might currently still be outside of their awareness (or outside of your media organization's reporting guidelines) Canadian Shareable News launched the CSN Press Room. One of the services we can provide is the occasional release of extended media releases on topics still outside of major mainstream coverage. Another is the planned release on Friday, November 22. of our proposed Critical Balance Reporting Test for Journalism. This set of criteria is based on indicators from the Canadian Association of Journalists Ethics Guidelines as well as other work on international journalism standards. For more information, see: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/introducing-the-csn-press-room

Sincerely,

Here we issue a challenge to Canadian media outlets… Show some courage! Stop the silence! Do your job of reporting the news, especially given how SERIOUS current news stories are.

The letter that follows is intended to be shared with local municipalities and business support organizations at the grass roots level (for example, Chambers of Commerce).

Dear…

Please find below concerning information being shared with you by an ad hoc group of concerned Canadians. 

a) You will find below a link to a talk by Lawyer Lisa Miron on the c40 agenda as well as a PDF outlining c40. Ms. Miron has an LLB and LLM and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science.  Essentially her talk is about all regions, cities, towns getting plotted in https://www.globalcovenantofmayors.org/.

The idea is the municipality gets a carbon budget which they are to work towards. They are to make commitments to this budget in each town (densification, energy, restrictions to transportation and what amounts to planned degrowth). You may have heard in June that former mayor of Vancouver, Gregor Robertson, has been appointed as the ambassador for cities to something related to the c40 agenda called CHAMP (The Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships (CHAMP) for Climate Action which is an initiative supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies to apparently"enhance cooperation between national and subnational governments in the planning, financing, implementation, and monitoring of climate strategies." While all this work of greening cities can be very exciting and positive looking, there are serious concerns we would like to share with you - reasons for which caution with these initiatives is advised. Especially when the donors have conflicts of interests (as we see Bloomberg involved in"clean energy"investments). 

What is not being made obvious to municipalities which may choose to sign on to the c40 project is the impact of the 'consumptive interventions' tied in with the assigned 'carbon budget'. We are attaching the document called 'c40 Cities -  The Future of Consumption in a c40 World'.

It is planned degrowth,  i.e., what we are experiencing in Canada is not an accident but the plan. Germany, for example, is now facing the shutdown of many of its automakers and even beer breweries as the consequences of the degrowth activities going on there. In their case it is not quite as a result of the c40 initiative specifically, but it serves as a good case study as to the ripple effects when one sector of a formerly balanced economy is particularly targeted and ramped down.

Here is a summary of consumptive interventions as per the c40 agenda:

i. 20 % fewer new builds by 2030

ii. 0 kg meat, dairy, or dairy alternatives by 2030.  See attached, the images from chapter 6 of the attached PDF and note how astonishing this requirement is. 

iii. 0 private vehicles (no EV no ICE) by 2030. Again this is in chapter 6 but see the astonishing image attached.

iv.  Leaving the city is decided: 1 short haul flight per person every 3 years by 2030.

v. 3 new items of clothing per person by 2030. 

Imagine how many of your chamber members would need to close up shop in the next few years, if we are to get anywhere near "achieving" this "ambitious" set of targets. 

The further nuts and bolts of this agenda:

All cities working on 15 minute cities where mandatory densification and the elimination of the vehicle are mapped out. https://tcat.ca/project/complete-streets/

They say they work with '15 minute cities' and then in their 15 minute city report they say they work with c40 principles above.

Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London is the c40 chair now.  He is working hard in the UK on various schemes to get people out of their vehicles, the primary being charging by the mile through the cameras being loaded ubiquitously. We need to remember that the first letters in SMART Cities stand for Surveil, Monitor and Access.

Lawyer Lisa Miron is interviewed here and speaks in further detail about many of these topics.https://viewpointspodcast.ca/episodes/the-dark-side-of-smart-cities-15-minute-cities-and-c40-cities-lisa-miron/    

What has also not been made obvious to the general public for these the past few decades, as this degrowth agenda as been driven by various global Non-Governmental Organisations, is that all the science around CO2 being the primary driver of a fluctuating climate is "NOT SETTLED" while we all have been told it is. In fact, as a Chamber of Commerce, your organisation might be the perfect venue for the hosting of opportunities to let proponents of the CO2 climate change theory share their data alongside of climatologists belonging to the independent foundation called Climate Intelligence (or CLINTEL) and others who are also looking at the same climate data and coming to opposite conclusions. The economic and social implications, if it turns out the CO2 theory is NOT correct, are stunning. Given that our corporate and government-backed media has abrogated its responsibility to ensure that a diversity of viewpoints is represented in the public discourse, perhaps you as advocates for local businesses could take on that role in the quest for clarity. It turns out that much of what is being recycled in the public domain around climate science, has since been disproven via more recent research findings.  A quick way for Chamber members to test their knowledge of CURRENT understandings around climate is this brief Quiz.

b) Please also find attached a press release re: Canada's Bill C-293 (re: Pandemic "prevention" and preparation)

The focus in the c40 agenda on stopping meat consumption is also a key component of Canada's Bill C-293 (the Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Bill) currently awaiting second reading in the Senate. Here again, we are seeing a corporate-backed effort to censor out the real reason that animal to human transfer of viruses can turn into pandemics -- i.e. IF they are artificially manipulated to become more virulent as part of bioweapons research. Studies such as this one showing  71 occurrences from 1975 to 2016 of the release of pathogens with pandemic potential related to biodefense, bioweapon, bioterrorism or related research are simply not making their way into mainstream discourse. When the transnational corporations doing the censoring are also investing in other transnational corporations who stand to benefit from controlled messaging, this conflict of interest will not be publicly reported on. It does not take much effort to find out, for example, that the owners of the search tool Google (ALPHABET) rely heavily on the combined forces of the three top investment funds (Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street) which in turn invest heavily in "green technologies" along with the pharmaceutical and military industrial complexes. https://stockzoa.com/ticker/googl/  Or that the cricket flour manufacturer is being taxpayer funded through Next Generation Manufacturing Canada. https://www.datanyze.com/companies/aspire-food-group/371833612 So he who pays the piper controls the tune - to our detriment. For Chamber Members to hear Lawyer Lisa Miron address the enormous flaws in Bill C-293, search 293 here: 

See also the attached press release and try this 12 question quiz/. Essentially if Canadians by their silence allow the Senators to pass Bill C-293 as is - we end up permanently legalizing all the measures which when applied for the COVID-19 pandemic likely negatively affected your members (lockdowns, social distancing, business closures, 'no jab, no job' policies etc.) And our governments will have the go-ahead to ramp them up to include closure of commercial agricultural and forest practices in your region. You may have noted how Canada's "Food Professor" wrote about this very real threat: https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/charlebois-is-bill-c-293-canadas-vegan-act 

It would appear we are at a crossroads where our input as citizens is not engaged or desired.  It is time to reverse this trend. Thank you for bringing both of these issues to the attention of your executive and membership. 

Sincerely,

….

International Peace Coalition Meeting
September 13, 2024, 11am ET
On Zoom

German, Spanish and French interpretation available

See write-ups of past meetings and how to sign up for coming meeting links here:

https://schillerinstitute.com/international-peace-coalition/

If you miss the meeting on Friday, September 13, filling in the form will let you be notified of future meetings, usually held on a weekly basis at the same time.

Readers may notice that the “angle” taken by the International Peace Coalition differs from the angle

• used in the Statement on Ukraine’s Independence Day recently posted by Global Affairs Canada here

• being spoken about in meetings of the Standing Committee on National Defence, a committee made up of Members of Canada’s Parliament

• followed in every mainstream (corporate and government backed) media platform in the country

What is one to make of the disconnect - given that highly accredited and long time followers of war and peace matters, military intelligence professionals, those with analytic skills in military strategy, often born out of personal experience in the field, are finding more reasonableness in the stance taken by the members of the Schiller Institute than in those shared by the majority of Canadian journalists?

Why do these people denounce NATO’s attempts to destabilize Russia?

Should we just not all take the side our government has chosen to take?

Would it be disloyal to Ukrainian Canadians to teach people the back story behind the “special military operation” launched in February 2022?

Aren’t we harming our Canadian troops by pointing out that there is truth and logic in the other side of this conflict?

Has the idea of “diplomacy” changed now in the 2020s? Is there anything we can learn from the diplomats of the Cold War era?

Please note:

• We have a legally assured RIGHT TO DISSENT - just because a government has chosen to say A, that does not compel everyone never to utter B, C or D. Actually, under international law we have obligations to respect, protect and fulfill the right to participate in public affairs by engaging in criticism, opposition and dissent. See this handbook presented by Lawyers’ Rights Watch Canada.

• Most viewers of mainstream media over the past 6 months will not have heard reports of a long list of developments in this and other conflicts, unless they have diversified their news diet to include sources linked to here:

• Issues 22 and 23 of Canadian Shareable News provide additional insights into this deadly conflict including these stories:

  • BC based Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom and ON based Voice of Women released the text of letters they sent to Canada’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs. They expressed concern at the disproportional violence perpetrated by Israel against Palestinians. And they appealed to the government to reduce the risk of nuclear escalation through disarmament and dialogue. They sought to have the F-35 procurement and F-16 training program for Ukraine cancelled. They also thanked the Embassies of China and Hungary, for their recent “peace missions”. vowpeace.org/wilpf-canada-vow-joint-letters-to-political-leaders/

  • The Toronto based Hiroshima Nagasaki Day Coalition held a series of events around August 6 which are described here: vowpeace.org/now-is-the-time-canada-sign-the-ban-treaty-hiroshima-nagasaki-day-remembrance/. This was in support of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). Learn more about the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons here: www.icanw.org/#rec59254786

  • The team behind this Substack spends up to 5 hours a day compiling regular detailed War Reports, focussing primarily on but not limited to Ukraine. NOTE THE MORE RECENT POSTS UP TO AUGUST 29. For example, the report from August 20 contains detailed maps, multiple battle reports complete with squad names and geographical coordinates, casualty counts (1935 Ukrainian soldiers, including more than 330 lost at the site of Ukraine’s incursion into Russia near the Kursk nuclear power plant.) Also included were links to military commentary from US Ret. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, Col. Douglas MacGregor, Col. Daniel Davis, Larry Johnson and others. The same report also addressed topics like  “On the Prospects of Turkish Presence in Iraq”; “Is Israel losing?” And “American Presence at the South End of China” where the USA is starting to involve Australia and the Philippines. substack.com/@askeptic/p-147934442 In addition to daily reports, the authors place links to articles, documentaries, etc. that have a longer term relevance here: askeptic.substack.com/p/analyses-ukraine.

  • Canada’s Standing Committee on National Defence appears to ONLY invite expert speakers to their meetings who speak on ONE side of the Ukraine/Russia dilemma. https://www.ourcommons.ca/committees/en/NDDN (Admittedly, we have not opened meeting notes for 4 years of meetings, but random checks reveal various experts speaking from a Ukrainian perspective and none presenting the stance of Russian authorities or external analysts such as those invited to speak at Dialogue Works)

MESSAGE TO ALBERTANS AND MANITOBANS

Given that Alberta and Manitoba jointly are home to more Ukranians anywhere in the world outside Ukraine, leadership needs to come from us.

We cannot let petty disagreements and unethical silencing of the perspective of Ukrainin citizens of Russian descent who had ASKED for Russia's help in fighting gruesome attacks from the US backed Zelensky regime continue allowing young men and women to be slaughtered at the rate reported on in Issue 23 of Canadian Shareable News.

The more people who listen in on these weekly meetings, the more people understand how the silence of the corporate and government backed media on the back story of the "unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by Russia" has led to Canadian lawmakers making decisions that have the potential to risk Canadian lives as well. By NOT informing the public of the huge size and power differential between Russia and Ukraine, and of the power and sheer magnitude of Russia's weapons stocks back when there was even a nearly signed peace deal, the more thos Canadian troops deployed to help train Ukrainian soldiers (many of whom I suspect halil from Alberta) are at risk. And the more Alberta, Canada, NATO countries cheer on the march to battle with totally uninformed pieces like this one Kursk offensive is a morale boost https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/reaction-inside-ukraine-kursk-offensive-1.7301150 the closer we are pushing Russia and NATO countries into a nuclear war that has the very real potential to freeze all life on the planet to death. Dr. Steven Starr's book list is impressive. He is a frequent presenter at the IPC meetings.

Let's ensure that ALL CANADIAN media are aware of what their silence on both sides of the Ukraine/Russia hostilities is leading to. Awareness is our own key to ramping things back down again. IF WE CONTINUE TO LET OUR “well-intentioned but uninformed” decision makers lead the way, we need to face the realties of…

https://nuclearfamine.org/about-steven-starr/

Divisive rhetoric and informaion omission got us here. Let us roll those back the tendency of those who  divide us. Let us ensure freedom of speach for all and Say NO to censorship in all its forms.

WHY is the Schiller Institute experiencing pushback labelling it as as pro-Russian, if they are giving a voice to those diplomats, negotiators, military and intelligence professionals who were personally involved in bringing the COLD WAR to an end? Is someone afraid their insight has the power to lead to peace chocking off demand for more production in the weapons industry?

For example, on Sept. 3, 2024 the Schiller Institute featured an interview with former U.S. Ambassador Jack Matlock. Having served as Ambassador to the Soviet Union during the period of its collapse, Matlock provides a unique perspective on U.S.-Russia relations from that period of time to the present—as well as insights on other crucial matters.

https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/2024/09/09/interview-jack-matlock-to-save-mankind-come-back-to-diplomacy/

This week the Schiller Institute wrote of the responses to that interview:

The Schiller Institute’s Sept. 3 publication of Ambassador Jack Matlock’s truthful assessment of the absurdity of current United States foreign and (self-defeating) military policy toward Russia, China and Southwest Asia—which, as of March of this year, includes a commitment to a three-front nuclear war against Russia, China and North Korea—is now being picked up by other news outlets. This has caused a small earthquake among the once-competent “elites” of the trans-Atlantic, who, unlike the “children of Madeleine Albright”—Antony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power et al.,—know that what Jack Matlock has said, is true. Matlock was President Ronald Reagan’s Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987 to 1991, and a true witness to, participant in and shaper of our current history, a different breed than today’s “junior varsity” at the State Department.

“It seems to me that it is extremely dangerous to attempt what is, in effect, an undeclared war against a nuclear armed power, which perceives, rightly or wrongly, that its sovereignty and even its political existence are being threatened,” Sputnik reported Matlock saying from his Sept. 3 interview. Matlock remarked days later, at the Sept. 6 meeting of the International Peace Coalition, that “I think what we need to understand is that the expansion of NATO, and particularly the bases—and in this case, it was the bases that were planned in Poland and Romania for anti-ballistic missiles. It turned out that, although these were defensive weapons, they could easily be converted to offensive weapons. So, it was understandable that the Russian leader (Putin) would be quite opposed. And yet, we went ahead, and after progressively withdrawing from virtually every arms control agreement that we had negotiated in the 1980s and early ‘90s, we began to try to influence the Ukrainian government and offer NATO membership. So I think that this was a complete reversal of the diplomacy we used in the Cold War.…”

What, however, if the whole chessboard is simply turned over? What if voices of reason, like that of Jack Matlock, or Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity co-founder Ray McGovern, or Col. Larry Wilkerson of the Eisenhower Media Network, are successfully amplified and heard in the United States, echoed by similar voices in Germany, France, Italy, Sweden and many other nations? That is the process that is now happening through the International Peace Coalition. It is the precondition for real Socratic dialogue about a new security and development architecture.

It is Helga Zepp-LaRouche and the Schiller Institute’s proposed Ten Principles for a New International Strategic and Development Architecture that do, in fact, take the interests of all into account. The possibility that the Institute’s proposal might successfully catalyze a “Council of Reason” among trans-Atlantic nations, that would overthrow the “mad dogs and Englishmen” that are provoking nuclear war, has spooked the NATO thought-police. They have released, through the outfit called Intelligence Online, a story, “United States Washington-based non-profit continues spreading Kremlin message,” which begins, “The Schiller Institute has continued to cooperate with Russian media outlets, even while the U.S. cracks down on foreign influence.” While this is the same tactic used in the 1982 activation of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) against economist, statesman and Schiller Institute co-founder Lyndon LaRouche, there is a difference.

In a supersaturated environment, a single molecule, a “weak force,” can incite crystallization, the sudden appearance of well-defined, ordered structure, “as if from nowhere.” In that same way, an idea, based on a principle, dismissed as “impractical” only months before, can become the dominant intellectual currency in a time of crisis. That idea, representing a deeper, unseen, higher, “poetic” principle, can take the form of an effective policy, embraced by much, even all of humanity, such that imperfect people and leaders, “even whilst they deny and abjure, are yet compelled to serve, that power which is seated on the throne of their own soul.” That is why, despite all of our flaws and imperfections, Percy Shelley’s often-cited observation that “poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world” tells us by what method we, and humanity, can hope to prevail. It is by the light of that truth, spoken by Ambassador Matlock and others, that the false authority presently wielded by the vampires of total and perpetual war is evaporated, as a vampire self-destructs in sunlight.

Join the meeting on Zoom at 11am ET

• to provincial and federal politicians

• to media

• to contacts I have in various citizen organizations

gets bogged down in WAY TOO MANY DETAILS as there is so much going on these days that isn’t being captured in a single place to which I can then refer others. So this post is intended then as a location for the “background” to letters I plan on writing.

Following a tip from an author of a health book, I then ran my “background” information through the free version of www.perplexity.ai asking it to create an executive summary. This was the result:

The text discusses the critical intersection of free speech, media censorship, and corporate influence in shaping public discourse, particularly in the context of the United Nations' upcoming Declaration on Future Generations. It emphasizes that while free speech is vital, it must coexist with the respect for diverse opinions, which is increasingly under threat from mainstream media and political narratives.Key points include:

• Free Speech vs. Censorship: The author argues that the UN's initiative to "eliminate intolerance" could lead to increased censorship and the stifling of dissenting voices, labeling them as "extremist." This echoes historical colonial tactics where elites dictate societal norms without public input.

• Media's Role: There is a growing concern that journalists are avoiding a diversity of opinions, reframing the ethical obligation to present multiple viewpoints as "bothsidesism" or "false balance." This trend is seen as detrimental to healthy public discourse and a pathway to totalitarianism.

• Corporate Interests: The text highlights how corporate agendas may influence public policy, particularly through UN directives and partnerships with organizations like the World Economic Forum. This raises questions about the motivations behind policies that appear to prioritize corporate profits over public welfare.

• Call to Action: The author urges readers to engage with alternative media sources, such as Canadian Shareable News, which aims to present underreported viewpoints and facts. There is a strong appeal for citizens to resist narratives that dismiss critical perspectives as extremist.

Overall, the text serves as a warning against the dangers of a homogenized media landscape and the potential consequences of prioritizing corporate and political narratives over genuine public discourse.

NOT BAD. PRETTY GOOD ACTUALLY!

This summary gives readers a taste of my ideas, albeit without referencing the various fascinating sources I drew from. Below I have a sample shorter introductory letter followed by my lengthy deep-dive into the issues summarized above including the United Nation’s intention to “eliminate intolerance”; Rudyard Kipling’s poem "White Man's Burden"; the World Economic Forum’s “Toolkits” for government regulators; a former British spy’s analysis on the new divide in our culture; the worry among journalists about presenting a “false balance” aka “bothsideism”; various current events related to Palestine, Ukraine, climate change, vaccine mandates and other seemingly disparate topics!! I also repeatedly reference Canadian Shareable News, not as shameless self-promotion, but because the topics I am concerned about are simply not conveniently pulled together in other publications. As always, I encourage readers to pull out from here any bits and pieces they chose, in order to share their concerns with others, including politicians and journalists.

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

Hello ….. {writing to both the governing and the opposition parties at the provincial level in response to a survey question about the importance of free speech and an email request to help shape future party directions}

As a citizen trying to remain informed about issues being presented on BOTH side of the political divide in this province, I receive emails from all of the leading parties. The subtext of the emails is: "Support US. Only we can save you from THEM and their EXTREMIST views."

I know that in politics, making the other side look bad and your side look good is part of the game. But that should only be done with the presentation of good and better policies backed by persuasive and verifiable facts, not with a "winning narrative" designed to pigeonhole others as the newest boogymen: as “extremists".

What should NOT be part of the political game is working with only half the deck. When you rely ONLY on mainstream corporate funded media to give you a full picture of any issue, you are missing out on half the information. Please contact the expert analysts on any topic covered in Canadian Shareable News - reach out to those cited in the past 23 issues, interview them on your podcasts or refer to them by name when you are interviewed, call them as witnesses to your committees, seek their input into your policy making etc, and realize that any attempt to paint them as "other", "fringe", "extremist", "intolerant" etc. harms all of society. To divide society into "us normal concerned people" vs. "those extremists" for anyone whose opinions differ from ours, benefits only those who already sit on insane amounts of investment income (such as the CEO of Amazon featured here -- in 2021, not withstanding further gains from COVID policy and from the US military’s use of Amazon Cloud Servers these last 2 years) https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/.)

Freedom of speech not only needs to be protected. It needs to be respected. And we need to be open to learning from those whose opinions differ from ours.

AND we need to be wary of any censorship placed upon us by those with special interests, particularly with those who intend to roll out global governance over us all under the guise of "helping to build our futures" while enriching themselves.

Say NO to neo-colonialism and corporate totalitarianism. Say No to the UN and anyone else seeking to silence freedom of expression while re-casting a valuable diversity of opinion and information as something to combat.

Thank you

(NAME)

For the past 4 1/2 years, I have sought ways to inform both NDP and UCP politicians of information that has been censored out of mainstream media. I have also now tried to get my own feedback on the lofty sounding "Declaration on Future Generations" to members of Canada's delegation to the UN but am getting no return phone calls from federal Minister's offices on how to do that. While I realize that this is not your jurisdiction, I also realize that the direction in which the UN wishes to take speech and thought via its inclusion of "eliminating intolerance" as an actionable item has massive implications for any communication both of your parties plan for the future, not to mention for the people in this or any other province.

The ability of individuals in Canada to speak freely as individuals is crucial of course. But it is only ONE part of the problem as we move towards a world in which the United Nations is seeking to "eliminate intolerance" via its "Declaration on Future Generations" which, by the way recently underwent a "Three Day Silence procedure". This meant that absent any feedback from [UNKNOWN BODIES OR INDIVIDUALS] the Declaration was supposed to be considered adopted within three days. The post went up on August 13 and was to be considered accepted on August 16 https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/sotf-letter-dfg-co-facilitators-rev3-silence-procedure.pdf / https://www.un.org/en/summit-of-the-future/declaration-on-future-generations. The Declaration is to be added to the Pact for the Future (which is also currently under Silence Procedure) and a third document in less than three week's time at the UN's Summit for the Future. This is all planned in order to shape future policy by people we have not elected but who deem themselves accountable for planning global governance moving forward. In their words: In September, world leaders will convene at the United Nations to adopt the Pact for the Future, which will include a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations as annexes.

The idea that some few need to take upon themselves the duty of planning future conditions for the continuation of daily life of uninformed masses reminds me of the colonialist thinking behind the Rudyard Kipling poem "White Man's Burden". This staple of our provincial high school Social Studies curriculum highlights the exceptionalist view of the then global elite (movers and shakers of the British Empire) which we continue to see today among those who consider themselves called to take on the "burden" of shaping life for all - with the hidden layer of financial benefits for themselves.

What is chilling is that not one of these three documents is referenced in the search engine of "Canada's trusted news leader" the Canadian Press news wire service. This is the major source of many of the news stories published by the mainstream (government and corporate backed) media in Canada. So it is likely that the majority of you are unaware that these documents exist, what they entail and what the implications of their presumed acceptance can be for world citizens and the government ministries you are focussing on. It is no secret that many of the policies being implemented across the country at the federal, municipal and provincial levels stem from UN directives as spin offs from the wide ranging Agenda 2030 which too, was once deemed adopted by people we did not elect without feedback from the citizens of the world who are directly affected. How many policies are derived across our country as a result of "Toolkits" or "Handbooks" published by the UN's partner since 2019, the world's largest corporate lobby group the World Economic Form, is less well known (https://www.weforum.org/search/?query=Toolkit leads to over 2,300 items). And how many of the items listed in these toolkits are copied straight over into Canadian policies? How many of them were intended to bolster the bottom line of the WEF's member corporations? (A case in point is the "Agile Regulation" Toolkit intended to streamline drug approval processes to remove the inconvenient extra costs to pharmaceutical companies involved in true safety testing. https://www.weforum.org/about/agile-regulation-for-the-fourth-industrial-revolution-a-toolkit-for-regulators/. This is a topic that was under discussion 15 months ago at the National Citizens Inquiry which, also, was NOT covered on mainstream media despite being an ongoing nation wide event for 27 days. See https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/witness/shawn-buckley/#1689907599686-b8452d36-bb092636-5e52.)

As well, it is chilling is that the US based Associated Press, which claims to be a major news source for over half the world's population, also makes ZERO references to the three documents which are set to be "adopted" between September 20 and 23.

Like in the McCarthy era of the late 40s and 50s, when there was a full scale "repression and persecution of individuals and a campaign spreading fear of communist and Soviet influence on American institutions" (in the words of Wikipedia), today we see evidence of the same tactics of repression and persecution... in which we only need to replace the word 'communist' with 'extremist'. By that logic, of course our mainstream media cannot address any of the testimonies that point at harms of the COVID-19 injections - that would be "extremist". Of course most of the UCP and all of the NDP MLAs needed to signal their opposition to "extremism" by staying away from the one public event in over four years that gave audiences a chance to hear irritating realities and piles of facts-on-the-ground re: mRNA injections. Of course, any criticism of UN policies being applied in Canada like the one on "Migration Replacement" (2000) needs to be labelled as "extremist". Of course the media cannot inform anyone about the lowball estimate of global casualties arising from the COVID-19 mRNA injections (17 million dead) because to critique the narrative that the media itself promulgated incessantly, that would give a platform to those "extremist anti-vaxxers". And so on, and so forth.

Leaders lead by their actions. Our PM Justin Trudeau showed the way, as a cheerleader that anyone pointing at inconvenient facts-on-the-ground is to be verbally flogged as "fringe" "extremist" etc., etc.. This from a "leader" who was also seen  bragging about the 600 million dollars his government has given corporate and government backed media alike. https://rumble.com/vttfhd-mainstream-media-is-bought-by-justin-trudeau...-in-his-own-words.....html.

Writing recently about the Democratic National Convention, the NATO invasion of Russia at Kursk and other current events, former British Diploma and MI 6 spy Alastair Crooke made the connection for me. He talked about a need in Western culture for a "winning narrative". Somehow, our secular culture desires being "on the right side of history", having this global mission of redemption, an "us vs. them" thinking. Crooke writes:

Just as the hegemonic West arose out of the Cold War era shaped and invigorated through dialectic opposition to communism (in the western mythology), so we see today, a (claimed) totalising ‘extremism’ (whether of MAGA mode; or of the external variety: Iran, Russia, etc.) – posed in Chicago in a similar Hegelian dialectic opposition to the former capitalism versus communism; but in today’s case, it is “extremism” in conflict with “Our Democracy”. ... ‘Extremism’ effectively plainly is being set up as the successor to the former Cold War antithesis – communism... ‘Winning narratives’ essentially assert – in secular format – the inevitability of the western eschatological Mission for global redemption and convergence. In this new narrative context, facts-on-the-ground become mere irritants, and not realities that must be taken into account.  See page 1 here:

Over the past 23 weeks at Canadian Shareable News - a weekly publication posted on the non-censoring Substack platform has been pointing to inconvenient  "facts on the ground" that somehow have been left OUT of mainstream media (i.e. Canadian Press, Associated Press and by extension CBC, CTV, Global News) or that have been presented in a one-sided manner only.

And by "somehow" I mean exactly what Crooke referred to... the desire to show only the "winning narrative" and to paint those who provide irritating realities or simply opposing viewpoints as "extremist" "intolerant" or otherwise not worthy of consideration. When our political parties, and other governmental as well as educational institutions place everything in terms of "winning narratives" vs. "extremist", leaving no room for the to and fro of healthy debate on ideas, we end up with a totalitarian state of affairs, whether at the level of a school board or town council meeting, a provincial, territorial or federal legislative assembly or even a forum working out details of global governance. And when those shaping the narratives are powered by unseen corporate interests, we enter the dismal reality of corporate totalitarianism. Another example of the unseen corporate interests having influence over public policy is the 217 "non-state actors" who had free access to those who prepared the new international Pandemic Treaty prior to the World Health Assembly earlier this year - also NOT reported on in the mainstream media. See https://www.canadaexitwho.org/learn/breaking-barriers. The same kind of access appears to be planned via an "ad hoc" status for private sector entities prior to the September UN gathering. Likewise, earlier this summer at CANSEC in Ottawa, there appears to be NO record of conversations held between uncounted MPs and the representatives of many of the world's major weapons manufacturers. (Search CANSEC here" https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/21-weeks-of-war-and-peace-news-not).

We have seen an alarming reconfiguration of what has long been expected of journalists (to provide a diversity of viewpoints on key issues) into a BAD THING. Suddenly, allowing multiple perspectives on issues is unpopular with journalists who now negatively reframe that ethical requirement as "bothsideism" or "false balance." As is written in July 2022 in a post meant for foreign press correspondents: The good news is, the majority of journalists are against the use of bothsidesism in the current political and social climate. The bad news is, the public is not. 55 percent of journalists say that there is no need to consistently report on “both” sides of every single issue, but only 22 percent of the public agrees. A staggering 76 percent of the public said the media had a duty to report on both sides of every issue, regardless of the validity of the “side.” https://foreignpress.org/journalism-resources/bothsidesism-what-is-it-and-what-does-it-mean Apparently journalists are conflicted when they personally can't find as much validity on one side of an argument as on another. Therefore they prefer not to give an opposing viewpoint any airtime at all. Instead, journalists are to be the window to the world, letting readers see the diversity in opinion on a matter, not to censor out information they find less valid. Given this statement on the so-called "false balance fallacy "Media would then present two opposing viewpoints on an issue as equally credible, or present a major issue on one side of a debate as having the same weight as a minor one on the other" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_balance) journalists appear to have more fear of giving opposing viewpoints equal weight than of pointing to the evidence cited by "both sides" of an issue including a side for which they themselves have yet to find credibility. In other words, they prefer to refer to people whose analysis of current events contrasts with the majority view as "extremist". The majority of today's journalists feel justified in omitting (or denigrating) opposing views instead of giving their adherents an opportunity to provide the evidence which leads them to counter the majority view. Even the author of the post for foreign correspondents, absent any investigation into the documented scientific benefits for early antiviral treatment for COVID-19, felt justified to refer to those as "pseudoscience" despite a great deal of evidence to the contrary already available to those who would take their ethical requirement to provide a diversity of opinion seriously.

Continuing on that path, healthy debate has been pushed out under the guise of NOT supporting potential "extremism". People who point at the existence of another side of each debate are painted as "intolerant" holding the kinds of views that the UN is seeking to "eliminate". This would be something that could only be done under 24/7 tech surveillance and via massive incarceration facilities, which is sounding eerily like what is described in the Online Harms Bill C-63 and like the government actions reported on from Britain in the non-mainstream media these days. Most recently, we have seen state action against Pavel Durov in France, preceded by actions against C.J.Hopkins in Germany not to mention the many cases in which journalists who asked the inconvenient questions were fired from their jobs like Anita Krishna in BC and Marianne Klowak in Manitoba. (See them alongside of the dozens of other names on this list of expert witnesses to the National Citizens Inquries held from March to May last year and again earlier this year. https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/expert-witnesses/)

As representatives of the public interest, you should all have the courage to stand in the divide BETWEEN what is being recast as the good guys and the bad guys (the so-called extremists). Please understand that we are being played by those set to benefit from our rejection of views that challenge corporate interests.

- Climate change/Net Zero/forest fires/droughts/global warming/etc.  By painting those who point outside of the CO2 theory as "extremist" and by ignoring their evidence, we/you are being powered by the firms who stand to gain from the switch over to non-carbon based energy (which are THE SAME INVESTMENT FIRMS that provide us with carbon energy - they are simply diversifying their portfolios at great cost to us and no proven benefits). I highly recommend listening to this interview with former senior CBC investigative journalist Trish Wood and Julius Ruechel the author of Autopsy of a Pandemic and Plunderers of the Earth: the Erosion of Civilization

- Supporting Ukraine/fighting Russia/fighting terrorism/etc. By painting those who call for peace as "agents of Putin", by fomenting increased hostilities by NOT informing Canadians of facts on the ground, we are supporting the resurgence of the weapons industry and causing needless loss of life. BY NOT INCLUDING ANY NEWS of the largest weapons trade fair held in Ottawa this year (with a purported 70+ MPs in attendance) and by NOT highlighting the one sided nature of presentations to the committee of MPs dealing with military matters, our mainstream media is definitely taking sides. For a rundown of War and Peace news being left OUT of mainstream media for over half a year, please see: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/21-weeks-of-war-and-peace-news-not Please note again that any news about the International Peace Coalition or most other citizen groups working for peaceful solutions are NOT covered in mainstream media. Is it suddenly "extremist" to profile the efforts of ordinary citizens who are trying to put an end to the latest profit stream of Big Military?

- Perpetuating the "safe and effective vaccine narrative" when data abounds everywhere of the fallacy of both those claims. This includes attempts to inform provincial government reps about the dismal state of affairs in care homes due to a continuation of "COVID protocols" even today. See https://x.com/dksdata/status/1828812686345310550 We all know how corporate profits grew from COVID-19 related products, along with those who benefited from climate change related policies, tech surveillance, military industrial complex expenditures, etc.

- It is coverage around the aggression in GAZA and the WEST BANK that is FINALLY letting people see that there ARE at least 2 sides of the debate, but we are all finding it rare that a single news outlet gives equal time to both viewpoints.

Ideally every Canadian would be presented with reasoned arguments and supporting data for more than one side of every issue up for debate. Ideally, there would be no accusations of "mis/dis/mal information being presented by opponents. As Alberta lawyer Leighton Grey recently wrote:

The word "disinformation" is worse than useless because there is a vagueness and ambiguity about it that fosters confusion rather than clarity. ...  Information that is false or inaccurate without being a lie can simply be called false or inaccurate information. There is no need to talk of disinformation. (https://leightonbugreykc.substack.com/p/disinformation-and-delusions)

Ideally, everyone would understand that the only antidote for bad information is better information. As we observe corporate backed "philanthropic foundations" tackle the "problem of misinformation" and call for corporate tech-driven censorship virtually in lockstep, the dream of a free and balanced mainstream media seems more and more distant. In the meantime, Canadian Shareable News remains a quick option, pointing readers at professional analysts on a range of topics presented OUTSIDE of the mainstream corporate media bubble. It is my hope that each of the ministers/shadow ministers and their staff skim over headlines in the past 23 issues, or search for terms specific to their portfolios. You are invited to become alerted to the MANY times that our mainstream media is NOT abiding by the media ethics guides and regulations they pay lip service to - the MANY times they run with a single narrative, leaving out the key concerns of those on the "other" side of any one issue. (For a primer as to what our media is funded to do, yet clearly is rarely doing, see: https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/are-our-canadian-media-living-up)

We certainly need to uphold freedoms of speech. We need to avoid the consequences that come with the painting of those who hold views that differ from ours as "extremist".

We need to speak out against the repression of concerned Canadians. (One of the running themes in the Canadian Shareable News publication - highlights ordinary concerned citizens who have already experienced reprisal for their attempts at breaking the chains of censorship in this country.) And we need to ensure that we do not unwittingly fall into becoming tools of those who simply see us as "useful idiots" who implement policies that further drive society into an "us" versus "them" duality whenever that puts more $$ into their pockets.

and….

Given that Alberta and Manitoba jointly are home to more Ukrainians anywhere in the world outside Ukraine, leadership needs to come from us.

We cannot let unethical silencing of the perspective of Ukrainian citizens of Russian descent who had ASKED for Russia's help in fighting gruesome attacks from the post 2014 US backed Ukrainian regimes continue allowing young men and women to be slaughtered at the rate reported on in Issue 23 of Canadian Shareable News.

The more people who seek invites to these weekly meetings, the more people understand how the silence of the corporate and government backed media on the back story of the "unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by Russia" has led to Canadian lawmakers making decisions that have the potential to risk Canadian lives as well. By NOT informing the public of the huge size and power differential between Russia and Ukraine, and of the power and sheer magnitude of Russia's weapons stocks back when there was even a nearly signed peace deal, the more those Canadian men and women deployed to help train Ukrainian soldiers (many of whom I suspect hail from Alberta) are at risk. And the more Alberta, Canada, NATO countries cheer on the march to battle with totally uninformed pieces like this one Kursk offensive is a morale boost https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/reaction-inside-ukraine-kursk-offensive-1.7301150, the closer we are pushing Russia and NATO countries into a nuclear war that has the very real potential to freeze all life on the planet to death. In this letter to journalists, I point to the work on nuclear detonation by Dr. Steven Starr, a frequent presenter at the IPC meetings, information that MUST be heard by all lawmakers and journalists.

Let's ensure that ALL ALBERTA media are aware of what their silence on both sides of the Ukraine/Russia hostilities is leading to. Awareness is our only key to ramping things back down again.

https://nuclearfamine.org/about-steven-starr/

Divisive rhetoric and information omission got us here. Let us roll those back the efforts of those who divide us. Let us ensure freedom of speech for all and Say NO to censorship in all its forms.

Thank you,

[NAME]

This letter is a slightly anonymized version of a letter sitting my OUTBOX for almost a week. It is being shared here for anyone who wants to borrow ideas and information - in order to share with any journalists who are coming at the conflict in Ukraine from a one-sided perspective. My delay in sending it off is my desire to gather email addresses for more journalists who similarly work from ONE perspective only. Apparently journalists receive many many news pitches each day. Maybe they are simply not receiving enough from those of us who have given up on them!! Maybe we need to bombard them daily/weekly/monthly with additional stories from outside of the mainstream bubble till the silence cracks! IF CSNews can help, so be it… feel free to borrow (copy/paste) sections within an issue and simply share those if sharing entire issues is too cumbersome.

Dear [MAINSTREAM JOURNALIST]

Looking at the page of your recent articles for [PLATFORM], [URL] I learn a few things. 

Firstly, that your background includes writing about [TOPICS, IF LISTED].

As a reader of a little Substack newspaper that is trying to shine the light on mainstream media censorship, I am running across all sorts of interesting information sources information on topics related to technology and world events that I thought I would share  with you. This is because none of us wants to be shown as providing misinformation and there is a danger that by repeating commonly circulating interpretations on events, IF those interpretations are based on only half of the relevant data, they can be patently false. 

False information put into news stories consumed by public policy makers can lead to poor decisions, which in turn, can lead to harm and death -- certainly not something any journalist wants to be responsible for.

For stories on technology and censorship, if you have not yet encountered RECLAIM THE NET, I highly recommend looking at https://reclaimthenet.org. The folks there are trying to keep tabs on all the latest developments, especially when governments or corporations work at increasing citizen surveillance while decreasing freedom of expression. 

[OR SIMILAR PARAGRAPH, depending on topics of interest to the journalist being written to]

Each issue of Canadian Shareable News profiles Canadians with integrity whose freedoms of speech and opinion have been severely curtailed, who often face legal charges or other repercussions for diligently working to reduce harms to Canadians by sharing information that some would want censored. In fact, censorship in some form or other is addressed in nearly every issue of Canadian Shareable News, while the stories being profiled are virtually absent from mainstream media news reporting.

Moving on to your coverage of international conflicts - certain statements you make severely contradict evidence provided OUTSIDE of the corporate and government backed mainstream media bubble. I share this in the spirit of collegiality to give you the opportunity to broaden your scope -- information to keep in mind for future articles.

On [DATE] you wrote about how the Ukrainian offensive in Kursk is a “morale boost”, that “buoyed hopes”. [FILL IN WITH TOPIC WRITTEN ABOUT - if UKRAINE RELATED, consider adopting the text that follows]

This raising of people's hopes stands in stark contrast to coverage I have heard of the same event, based on facts on the ground as interpreted by independent, retired, non-partisan intelligence analysts. Information they provides necessarily leads to headlines along the lines of  "The Invasion of Russia by NATO backed Ukraine sets the stage for potential World War III".  How possibly could anyone report on the same event in such a vastly different way? 

Your article does NOT mention details like

• the year long planning that went into this advance involving NATO trainers, planners, etc. most likely from Britain, along with German equipment

• the symbolism for Russia of having German equipment specifically in KURSK which we refer to in Issue 23.

• the understanding that just like the US could not tolerate Soviet weapons in Cuba, within minutes of the Capitol, so neither could Russia stand having missiles in Ukraine, within minutes of Moscow.

• statements made by US military voices about "fighting to the last Ukrainian", the number of lives and pieces of equipment lost in this KURSK offensive (also in Issue 23)

• How many "red lines" NATO-backed Ukraine has already crossed and why for Russia the advance into its own territory is more than just an inconvenience. 

• the role the CIA played in Ukraine, in the years leading up to Russia's "invasion"/"special military operation" in February 2022.

• the role the Minsk Accord was supposed to play in stopping Ukrainian aggression on its own citizens, those of Russian ethnicity living in Ukraine's eastern provinces - and how signatories of the Accord admitted later they had no intention of upholding their legally agreed to obligations 

• the make up of Ukraine's army, the role the neo-Nazi Azov batallion played in forcing Zelensky to let them have increasing influence. 79 years ago, after WWII, we thought we saw the defeat of Nazism and Fascism, yet now, both are alive and well. This despite decades of peace groups demonstrating with slogans like "Never Again Fascism" "No more War" "Nazis Out" etc. Now astute analysts write about how the tide as turned, but mainstream journalists appear not to notice, or not to be able to bring up the topic. Have you read any reports of how "Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave a speech calling the fascist militiamen “heroes” and encouraging them to attack targets within the undisputed territory of the Russian Federation"? https://www.globalresearch.ca/selected-articles-decline-west-g7-war-summit/5859839 If not, why not?

Obviously when writing an article under time pressure, one is in a rush and does not have the benefit of time to do lots of digging. But since international conflict appears to be more than a passing interest of yours, please consider following some of these sources over a longer period, to get up to speed on what veteran intelligence professionals know and look for when analyzing complex conflicts.

2. Dialogue Works - a YouTube channel described in detail here:  https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/introducing-dialogue-works This is one of the best entry points into the thoughts and observations of retired military and intelligence analysts because of the straight forward questions being asked of them. Unlike government or even military industrial complex funded think tanks, Dialogue Works is simply a YouTube channel whose host has been reaching out to independent and retired people with hands-on experience in their various fields.

See summaries of the discussions in past weeks and find sign up information here: https://schillerinstitute.com/international-peace-coalition/. To get an idea of the calibre of those involved, take a look at the first of the publications by Professor Steven Starr listed here https://nuclearfamine.org/about-steven-starr/. For his entire career, he has been researching the global consequences of nuclear weapon use. His contact information is provided. His work stands in stark contrast with the recklessness coming out of many military think tanks whose "experts" advocate for the use of tactical nuclear weapons these days.

Her work on how defence contractors benefit from a prolonged war with lots of destruction can be found here: https://unlimitedhangout.com/2023/10/investigative-reports/how-peter-thiel-linked-tech-is-fueling-the-ukraine-war/. And earlier, she looked into the role the CIA played in training groups in Ukraine that could later be useful to foment war with Russia - providing much needed context for the statement of intent by Vladimir Putin to de-nazify Ukraine. https://unlimitedhangout.com/2022/03/investigative-reports/ukraine-and-the-new-al-qaeda/. Imagine a conversation between Whitney Webb and one or the other of the sources you included in your piece. If you could record and find a way to broadcast such a conversation, that would be very helpful as your readers try to get an understanding of the facts on the ground that are clearly missing from mainstream reporting. 

In your August 14 article, you citied:

"Samuel Bendett, an adviser with the Russia Studies program at CNA, a research and analysis organization in Washington, D.C." Given that the CNA or Center for Naval Analysis is a (US) federally funded research centre 

https://www.cna.org/about-us/what-is-cna  and given the central role the US government has been playing in this conflict, it would be important to seek more than this man's opinion on this matter.  This is why I encourage you to reach out to the people referenced above. When speaking about the practice of "signal jamming" Mr. Bendett said: "We know Ukraine are ahead of Russia, when it comes to developing [these] tactics and techniques," 

For everyone closely following Russian military matters, this is clearly a falsehood and reflects badly on Mr. Bendett's qualifications as a source. Back in 2015 already Russia was working on its abilities to jam electronic signals https://www.globalresearch.ca/ready-for-war-russian-armed-forces-conducts-war-games-across-the-country-thirty-exercises-and-drills-in-2015/5437119 and in 2023, Russian tech capabilities allowed them to effectively jam various munitions and render them unusable. https://www.globalresearch.ca/not-smart-enough-us-smart-bombs-punctured-by-russian-ew-attacks-intel-report-says-jdams-fizzling-out/5816093 Try getting an interview with any of the crewmen of the missile destroyer USS Donald Cook who in 2014 experienced firsthand the Russians' capability in switching off the Aegis guided electronic systems back then. It is strange that Mr. Bendett is either not aware of or not able to report on the the enormous advantage the Russian Federation has as its missile technology and air defence systems are leagues more advanced than any equipment NATO has. (The US has not yet successfully tested hypersonic missiles getting them from site A to site B, while even Iran owns these, not to mention Russia and China. The 2000 Patriot missile is the latest air defence system run in the US.) Here is a tip: when you are given information from one side of a conflict, run relevant search terms through Globalresearch.ca and Substack.com. Prior to the development of the Substack platform, experts who were being censored out of many fields could only publish their work with Canadian based Globalresearch.ca. This site is the old school equivalent of accessing pooled knowledge via ChatGPT and the like. Only once AI searches are FED the kind of information stockpiled in free speech outlets for sidelined analysts, can we rely on them to pull data out for us. Currently they are still too limited, "knowing" only half the data. In contrast, Substack and Globalreserach.ca are places in which high calibre analysts can publish. Outside of those two platforms, when their work happens to contain "inconvenient" data - data that funders of corporate media platforms find could hinder their profit margins, these analysts are shadow banned, or oddly labeled with all the currently popular epithets - conspiracy theorists, providers of misinformation, Shills for Russia/China/Iran/or the current enemy of the day, even racist, anti-semite, and the like.

It is obvious that Mr. Bendett is excited about drones, as is this other person you cited:

For Ukraine, relying on technologies like drones has been a way for it to punch above its weight in its fight with Russia."We have everything to win the war against the Russian Federation. Everything to replace a person in the trench, at sea, in the air and underwater," said Ivan Havryliuk, a deputy defence minister, in remarks reported by ABC News earlier this year.

But your article cannot simply end with the unrealistic, one-sided hopeful messaging coming from one of the members of the Ukrainian government - especially when it leaves misleading impressions in the minds of readers. Does Ukraine REALLY HAVE EVERYTHING TO WIN THE WAR AGAINST THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION?  If so why haven't they won yet? Why are they asking for $$$ from their NATO backers? 

You have sadly not reported on so many aspects of the conflict that would dampen the enthusiasm of your article. Like how little military production is going on in Ukraine or in all of NATO, given the current state of deindustrialization in most Western countries.. You have made no mention of how as soon as donations of large equipment  from Canada, US, Britain, or Europe have been brought into Ukraine to be used against Russia, they are often quickly destroyed by Russia, sometimes even before actually being deployed. N nor have you mentioned the horrendous Ukranian casualty counts. Can you really be buoyed by the Kursk attacks, given that at minimum one in three participants have already died and the rest are quicky being encircled. Barring surrender, the remainder will face a certain death.  

Be aware that by ONLY citing pro-Ukrainian voices who will naturally provide only ONE view of the matter, something is missing. The various ethics codes governing the profession of journalism require a multiplicity of viewpoints. https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/are-our-canadian-media-living-up Meanwhile, guidance documents being given foreign press correspondents try to persuade journalists like you that providing a balanced approach to news and opinion is a bad thing. Your colleagues in the business are being told that "both-sideism" or "false balance" are approaches that should be avoided. https://foreignpress.org/journalism-resources/bothsidesism-what-is-it-and-what-does-it-mean By whom? With what authority? For whose benefit? At what cost to humanity?

Hopefully, by diversifying your range of sources to include voices on both sides of political conflicts or controversial debates, you can do your part to prevent politicians from putting human lives at risk. However, it takes integrity and courage to do that. Just imagine, if our Canadian politicians who have so eagerly put Canadian trainers in harm's way by deploying them to Ukraine, had been given a chance to visualize the huge size discrepancy between Ukraine and Russia as seen in CSN Issue 23; if they were made aware of the enormous gap in production of military hardware  between what Russia vs. the West produce in a month and the resulting VAST STOCKPILES of artillery and all manner of battlefield hardware on the Russian side; if anyone had pointed them to the CIA factbook data on the relative sizes of the two countries' armed forces at the start of this conflict (Issue 23); and if informed journalists had regularly delved into the back history, from the Maidan Coup onward, accurately documenting Ukrainian atrocities perpetuated on the Russian minority areas, and accurately reporting the interest in Western corporations in the rich resources of the region, as seen in CSNews Issue 13; if you had previously cited Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity and the International Peace Coalition so often that these names and the collective knowledge held by the individuals involved had became well known in the population, then Canadian lawmakers could have made better choices, and Ukrainian (and Canadian) lives could have been saved. 

By having you engage in the disinformation tactic of information omission (i.e. omitting the whole OTHER SIDE of the Ukraine/Russia story) you have helped to develop certain false interpretations in your readers' minds and if our decision makers rely only on reporting like yours, this can have deadly consequences.

You can do better moving forward.

Thank you

Hello

I am writing to you as a constituent of XXXXX riding in XXXXX part of Canada on a matter that goes far beyond local affairs and closely intersects with the work that each of you do as current Ministers of Canada's Cabinet.

I ask that this letter also be forwarded to Canada's Ambassador to the United Nations, Hon. Bob Rae, as contact info to his office seems not to be obvious online.

The UN sent out a letter on August 13 that the Declaration for Future Generations was to be put under SILENCE PROCEDURE for a total of THREE days, before it was to be assumed ACCEPTED.

How many of the members of Canada's CABINET are aware that this has occurred?

One would have assumed that the document would be up for ratification and discussion at the upcoming Summit for the Future on September 23. But this is even worse. 

Next to no media coverage meant next to no awareness and ONLY THREE DAYS in which there was not even much of a hint as to how to get feedback to whom where by when... and now the document is a done deal?

https://www.un.org/en/summit-of-the-future/declaration-on-future-generations

This document apparently went through four revisions from ZERO draft through to the 1st, 2nd & 3rd in a short time. When I downloaded Rev 2 on August 8, the accompanying explanatory note and co-facilitator's revision were NOT yet posted. I started writing up my comments on August 8 without knowing there would be this deadline  - I assumed I would have at least a week or two to get my feedback to Bob Rae (once I found his address) and that he could still consider it prior to Sept 23. I also assumed other Canadians would be given this opportunity to provide their insights into something as pivotal as this major declaration. This would include YOU, the various Ministry departments whose work is immediately affected by UN declarations. 

Here are questions for our Cabinet ministers. I would appreciate a response from each of your offices on all of them. And from the office of the Ambassador to the UN as well. 

a) Were you aware that the UN has at some point initiated this "Silent Procedure"?

b) Do you have any idea of how many previous UN documents have been assumed to be accepted in this way unbeknownst to us?

c) Are you aware of the high degree of "mission creep" in the documents of the UN these days? Going WAY beyond their original mandate re: peace, war, diplomacy?

d) Are you aware of the UN's intention to ELIMINATE intolerance? 

e) If this were a bill put before you directly, would you not question how such a lofty utopic vision could actually become law, i.e. how it could be enforced?

I guess, as a result of this silence procedure, at this point there is nothing anyone in any of the member nations can do to stop this? Or is there? More and more people are noting the enormous mission creep and the partnership with businesses that the UN entered into already before 1998 under Kofi Anan. (Please see the full reference at the bottom of this email.)

In the past few years, more and more people are becoming aware of and objecting to the power that unelected bureaucrats are giving themselves. And this 3 day SILENCE procedure takes the cake!!!

This goes beyond the decades-long integration of the UN into municipal policies by means of the environment. It is now going into the ability of the world's citizens to speak up. 

Note that to implement the goal of the Declaration for Future Generations to ELIMINATE INTOLERANCE, we need to define INTOLERANCE and then surveille every human being 24/7 - an excellent money making opportunity for the BIG TECH who are now partnered with the UN. We learn that this partnership is not just since the handshake between the heads of the UN and the world's largest corporate lobbying organization the WEF in 2019 but actually went back already back before 1998. I guess it was not enough for BigCorp to persuade the UN (via the WHO) to convince nations to push for Covid shots in every arm (for their profit), we are now going to see full bore surveillance of every conversation... another money making jackpot for BigCorp i.e. the Tech companies involved in online security/surveillance/tracking etc.

We see the chilling effects of the equivalent of the Online Harms Bill already underway in other countries, for example with many arrests in Britain of people who simply comment that increased rioting started happening in countries who started opening borders and removing security screening following some version of UN policies on Migration, that in the "olden days" before all this new unchecked immigration, riots weren't common place. Commenting on reality has been defined as Intolerance of migrants. With its aim of ELIMINATING intolerance, the UN's lovely worded Declaration of Future Generations is a thinly veiled attempt at implementing a parallel world wide censorting of speech and thereby also thought.

I am asking each minister's office included in this email to publicly answer these questions as well:

f) What is your Department going to do to REVERSE the presumed acceptance of the content in this Declaration for Future Generations? 

g) What are you going to discuss with Canada's Ambassador to the UN? Has he found allies among his peers who also see problems with this Silence Procedure? Possibly the VP of Costa Rica might be on board with rejecting the validity of the Three Day Silent Procedure being used on a document as crucial as the Declaration for Future Generations. But there should be others.

h) Are YOU as ministers going to condemn this practice? (UN's use of 3-day Silence Procedure)

i) And will YOU also speak out about the problems with the Declaration? (i.e. the confounding of "vision statements" with actual actionable and enforceable policies; the "mission creep" of going far beyond the initial purposes of the UN; the hand in hand cronyism between BigCorp and unelected UN officials? For more on the latter, dig into what "private sector organizations" have "ad-hoc special accreditation" 

and why they would be invited to attend the upcoming UN Summit - just as the many corporations and corporate lobby groups were given special access as "non state actors" prior to the UN's World Health Assembly in June. When the CEO of Amazon enjoyed this much wealth pre-COVID (https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ ), it behoves us all to be wary when people like him and those written in about in the 2014 book "Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else" have unfettered access to policy makers who cave to their interests and end up harming and surveilling the rest of us. 

Please refer to the attached PDF of a slide show showing key concerns with the wording as it stood in Rev 2 on August 8. In the interest of time, I am not redoing my comments on REV 3, as the text in REV 3 differs little from that of REV 2.

You will find a common thread in all the comments

- Mission Creep

- Impossibility to Enforce short of 24/7 tech surveillance as the only way to ELIMINATE INTOLERANCE  

After 4 years of seeing the manufactured Chaos/Control issues around FIGHTING THE COVID virus, the same playbook seems to be on steroids yet again.

But there is next to no coverage of the UN's Summit of the Future set to occur in New York in under six weeks from now in the Canadian Press News Wire Service and ergo in all of Canada's major government-supported & independent news media.

Because under your watch, the media has NOT upheld its codes of ethics in Canada

https://canadianshareablenews.substack.com/p/are-our-canadian-media-living-up

YOU, our Cabinet Ministers, and your departments are NOT JUST NOT HEARING ABOUT THIS UN document and silence procedure, you are ALSO NOT HEARING a balance of news and analysis on global current events. For a taste of what our news media should have been including all along (on topics related to peace and geopolitics), please also see:

• GLOBAL PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS & the UN (July 2024) Decision makers at the UN essentially believe that the principle that respects the sovereignty of nation states is obsolete and must be replaced with Global Public-Private Partnerships involving industry. ("Global Public-Private Partnerships (G3P) are structured collaborations between international intergovernmental organizations, such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, and private companies to achieve shared goals and objectives." This article also explains the Westphalian system, i.e., the "principle that each state has exclusive sovereignty over its territory and domestic affairs, excluding all external powers, and is a fundamental tenet of international law."   Furthermore, "Under our current model of Westphalian national sovereignty, the government of one nation cannot make legislation or law in another. However, through global governance, the G3P creates policy initiatives at the global level, which then cascade down to people in every nation. This typically occurs via an intermediary policy distributor, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and the national government then enacts the recommended policies." This all goes back to 1998, the address by UN’s then-Secretary-General Kofi Annan to the WEF: "“The United Nations has been transformed since we last met here in Davos. The Organization has undergone a complete overhaul that I have described as a ‘quiet revolution.’…A fundamental shift has occurred. The United Nations once dealt only with governments. By now we know that peace and prosperity cannot be achieved without partnerships involving governments, international organizations, the business community and civil society…The business of the United Nations involves the businesses of the world.” Please continue with the rest of this important article here.

Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche issued an invitation to a live streamed dialogue held on Thursday July 18:

https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/2024/07/17/webcast-the-trump-assassination-attempt-less-than-an-inch-away-from-total-chaos/

The invitation included these thoughts:

“The next three and a half months will be a period of maximum danger, escalation of military conflict around Ukraine and Southwest Asia, increasing ungovernability in France and possibly other countries, increasing financial turbulence, and above all the escalating danger of a direct military confrontation between `Global NATO’ and Russia and China.

“Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary started an exploratory mission to Kyiv, Moscow and Beijing, and found that the road to diplomacy does exist. We therefore call on Elder Statesmen, religious leaders, former diplomats and elected officials, retired military and other civilian leaders—from all nations—to step forward and create a Council of Reason to explore the potential for a new international security and development architecture, which can take into account the interests of every single country on the planet.”

Since 1984, the Schiller Institute aims to apply the ideas of the poet and philosopher Friedrich Schiller to the contemporary geopolitical situation in which the world finds itself. Schiller was a classical German playwright, author and professor of history and philosophy who lived from 1759 to 1805.

The Schiller Institute has frequently sponsored international conferences promoting "peace through development". Lyndon LaRouche, the late husband of Ms. Zepp-LaRouche had long proposed infrastructure projects such as the "Eurasian Land Bridge", the Belt and Road Initiative, major water projects including the "Oasis Plan" in the Middle East, as well as proposals for debt relief and a sweeping reorganization of the world monetary system. Instead of supporting the "Clash of Civilizations" thesis of Samuel Huntington, Zepp-LaRouche and the Schiller Institute advcate for a "Dialogue of Cultures" based on "shared mutually beneficial and balanced development".

Concerned Citizens, in particular those who have had governance experience in the past, are invited to come forward as a “Council of Reason”. During the Thursday

in order to introduced the topic of the upcoming weekly Friday online meeting of the International Peace Coalition (IPC) held on July 19 to help pull society back from the bring of World War III.

Here is a summary of the points discussed among participants at last Friday’s meeting: https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/2024/07/13/the-nato-summit-a-shell-of-bravado-58th-meeting-of-the-international-peace-coalition/.

As live streams conclude, summaries of key points addressed are posted to https://schillerinstitute.com. Additional notes from Thursday, July 18 are being posted below.

In response to questions sent in by listeners:

Zepp-LaRouche lists serious paradigm shifts follow many key political assassinations in the past. This was in response to a question whether NATO could have had a role to play in the attempted assassination.

One of the biggest problems today, many people have become so small, they so easily let themselves be distracted (example for four weeks many adults showed so much emotion around European Soccer games, but not about life and death issues around the future of humanity that is currently at play. People leave politics to those who are very much in the pockets of BigMoney Wall Street institution.

To have a functioning republic, we also need an educated citizenry.

Q: What is so threatening about Victor Orban of Hungary that the EU bureaucracy is moving to punish him and his country?

F16s are slated for installation in Ukraine this months. The escalation allowing nations to strike deep into Russia can lead to WWIII.

Victor Orban became chair of the EU - he immediately spoke to leadership of Ukraine, Russia, China, NATO, etc. His ‘Crime’ is talking peace. “If you look at the policies of the EU, the US, NATO, etc. at no point have they pursued an option of PEACE.” Orban is pursuing the option to prevent WWIII by diplomatic solutions. Robert Fico of Slovakia also survived an attempted assassination. If his health had permitted it, he would have travelled with Orban.

If it comes to this war, which will be a global war, Europe will be destroyed.
You have bellicose war factions in many countries of the world right now, but you also have many people who feel they have to “go along to get along” who don’t want to lose there current seat in the next election. Those who are called “lukewarm” in the Bible.

Then you have a lot of people who are completely ignorant and who don’t know how close we are to WWIII.

We are the only species endowed with reason, but if we are going to allow for our own self-extinction, we are in a bad state.

In Germany Scholtz said the US made the decision to install long range missiles in Germany and he simply agreed with it. Where is German sovereignty? Where are the millions of people who went on the streets in the 1980s to protest this?
