Christiane Saad, lawyer and Chair of the Privacy and Access to Information Law Section of the Canadian Bar Association, appears in HOC committee to answer questions and voice the Association's serious concerns over bill C-22, an Act respecting lawful access.

━━━━━━━━━━
"When government expands its power into private lives, the burden is on it to show that the expansion is necessary. The government has not demonstrated that current laws hinder investigations." — Christiane Saad

━━━━━━━━━━
"We are equally troubled by the voluntary disclosure provision, which appear misaligned with the course ruling in Spencer and Bikovitz. And by nondisclosure order, that can last for a full year. The CBA recommends reducing this to 90 days with court approval required for extensions." — Christiane Saad

━━━━━━━━━━
"Part 2 effectively deputizes companies as surveillance arms for the state while shifting investigative costs to private sector without compensation and without judicial overview. So the CBA recommends that these ministerial orders be removed, that the definition of systemic vulnerability be strengthened to expressly protect encryption, and that the government bear costs and risk related to these." — Christiane Saad

@AllisonInquiry Can you hook me up with a sympathetic neurologist?

“This is a topic that almost seems to be forbidden.” — Shawn Buckley

At the Parliament Hill press conference announcing the Allison Inquiry, lawyer Shawn Buckley spoke about something many Canadians have experienced firsthand: people seeking to share their stories of COVID-19 vaccine injury often feel ignored, dismissed, or afraid to speak publicly.

The Allison Inquiry was created to provide a respectful forum where Canadians can be heard.

This is not a political exercise. It is not a government inquiry. It is a citizen-funded, volunteer-led effort to listen to testimony, examine evidence, and create a public record.

Every Canadian deserves the opportunity to tell their story.

The first step toward understanding is listening.

Joe Rogan just revealed that presidents and former presidents personally pressured Spotify to have him removed for "vaccine misinformation."

And not one of them apologized when his questions turned out to be right.

He says he still can't talk about most of it. What he will say is that the campaign was coordinated, expensive, and came from the very top.

ROGAN: "They tried to crush my sponsors. They organized campaigns. There was PACs involved."

ROGAN: "I can't even talk about it. But there was presidents involved and former presidents involved that were contacting Spotify. Trying to get me removed for vaccine misinformation."

ROGAN: "And it turned out to be right. All of it."

ROGAN: "Not a single apology from anybody. Not a single retraction, not a single mea culpa, not a single 'we were wrong.'"

The pressure failed. Joe's audience grew. And the people who tried to silence him never had to answer for any of it...

🚨 Canadians should make the Detective Helen Grus sentencing hearing impossible to ignore.

Ottawa Police will publicly broadcast it this Thursday, June 18, at 10am ET.

Detective Grus asked whether unexplained infant deaths could be connected to the mothers’ COVID vaccination status.

For that, @OttawaPolice charged her, convicted her, and destroyed her career.

Now Parliament is preparing to hear sworn testimony about COVID vaccine injuries and deaths.

So tune in.

Let the corrupt Ottawa Police know Canadians are watching.

We know exactly what they did.

And they will not bury this.

C02 unrelated to climate.

[NOAA Climate.gov @NOAAClimate]

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere today is comparable to around 4.3 million years ago, when sea level was about 75 ft higher than today, the average temp was 7 degrees F higher than in pre-industrial times, & large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.

Below is the letter we just sent on behalf of @ICANdecide, @React19org and others to current CDC Acting Director, @DrJBhattacharya, regarding $1.5 billion contracts for Covid-19 vaccines. I am confident Dr. Bhattacharya and @SecKennedy would prefer to direct these funds toward treating and compensating the vaccine injured. I hope the White House will let that happen. As a country, we should take care of those harmed before we rush forward harming others.

Here is the text of the letter (with link to the original below):

Dear Dr. Bhattacharya,

We write on behalf of ICAN, React19, and numerous others to express our deep concern and disappointment that CDC has agreed to purchase $1.55 billion worth of pediatric and adult Covid-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, and to raise serious concern regarding a potential violation of federal law.[1]

For the millions of Americans harmed by these products, this decision is deeply painful. Rather than directing resources towards treating those whose lives have been devastated, CDC has chosen to further enrich Pfizer and Moderna. The vaccine-injured deserve acknowledgement and care—not abandonment. The tens of thousands of individuals with serious injuries who have contacted our firm alone, and the over 40,000 members of just one group, React19,[2] with serious injuries represent real people whose suffering demands recognition. To allocate more than a billion and a half tax dollars to Pfizer and Moderna while offering those injured by their products nothing is a profound betrayal.

We struggle to comprehend how CDC’s current leadership can continue to disregard, among others, the following established facts:

•CDC fought in court for over 2 years to prevent public disclosure of data which showed that over 7% of the 10 million V-safe users reported needing medical care after a Covid vaccine, on average 2 to 3 times each, with over 70% of those medical encounters resulting in hospitalization, emergency room visits, or urgent care.[3]

•The fact that FDA fought for years to hide data, recently released, showing that when FDA adequately conducted empirical Bayesian analysis internally, it revealed significant safety signals that were hidden from the public.[4]

•In the clinical trial for Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine, there were 21 deaths in the vaccinated group and 17 deaths in the placebo group—meaning more deaths occurred in the vaccinated group—during the same time period, and where the placebo group contained more participants than the vaccinated group.[5]

•Those seriously injured by this product have been left without recourse because pharmaceutical companies have been granted complete immunity under the PREP Act, while the Countermeasure Injury Compensation Program (CICP) remains woefully underfunded and structurally designed to deny compensation (only 0.39% [56 of 14,152] of COVID-related CICP claims have been compensated, with an average payout, excluding three outliers, of a miserly $5,052.57 per claimant)[6]—leaving the injured with nowhere to turn.

•Five years after assuring the world these products are safe, the manufacturers still require PREP Act immunity for the very harms they claim will not occur—an obvious contradiction that requires suspending reality and reason to believe.

Until PREP Act immunity is lifted and the full scope of harm is properly accounted for, the CDC should not direct over a billion and a half dollars to Pfizer and Moderna. These funds should instead be used to treat and compensate those who have already been seriously harmed—the people who have been waiting far too long for help. The people who the CDC assured this product was safe.

CDC should cancel these contracts on the basis that it would be the moral, ethical, and compassionate thing to do. But if it won’t do so on those bases then, in order to confirm these contracts do not violate federal law, and to avoid litigation, please confirm forthwith that the procurement contracts with Pfizer and Moderna were not in any manner related to the Vaccines for Children Program (VFC), and that absent Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) approval, they will not be part of this program.

As you are no doubt aware, absent approval from ACIP, the vaccines procured from Pfizer and Moderna pursuant to these contracts cannot be procured, distributed, or administered through the VFC, and any such conduct would be a clear violation of federal law.[7] As provided in Section 1928 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 1396s), the VFC mandates that only vaccines recommended by ACIP may be provided under the VFC. Specifically, 42 U.S.C. § 1396s(e) requires the Secretary to use “the list established (and periodically reviewed and as appropriate revised) by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.”

Accordingly, unless and until ACIP affirmatively recommends these Covid-19 vaccines for the applicable pediatric populations, any distribution or administration of the vaccines procured under these contracts through the VFC would constitute a violation of Section 1928 and its implementing regulations.

Please confirm forthwith that the procurement contracts have been cancelled and that the funds will be reallocated to assist the vaccine injured. We hope, given your prior statements regarding these products, that you will take this approach. But if the moral and humane approach is not taken, at the very least please confirm forthwith that these procurement contracts are entirely unrelated to the VFC.

Very truly yours,
/s/ Aaron Siri

Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, the Food Professor, joins HOC Committee for his input on the study of Food Security in the Face of Global Instability.

During his address, Sylvain made the following recommendations to Committee:

1) Make food affordability a formal lens for federal policy making. Before introducing new regulations, taxes, or programs affecting the food sector, government departments should be required to assess their impact on food affordability and food system competitiveness. Canadians deserve to know how public policy affects the cost of food before decisions are made.

2) Launch a national review of internal trade barriers affecting food. Canadians often speak about food sovereignty and local food systems, yet we continue to tolerate rules that make it unnecessarily difficult to move food, labor, and products across provincial boundaries. Improving the flow of food within Canada would strengthen resilience, increase competition, and lower costs without spending a dollar of additional public money.

3) Establish measurable national food security benchmarks and publish annual scorecards. We cannot manage what we do not measure. Canada should track indicators such as food affordability, domestic processing capacity, investment levels, productivity growth, food insecurity rates, and supply chain resilience.

The Liberals did not in fact end up shutting down debate after 30 minutes as per their program though most Conservative outlets and influencers reported it, beforehand, like it was already a done deal. That was a huge mistake and the Liberals shrewdly took advantage of it in a big way.

It'll be much easier now for them to sway public opinion in their favour given the Conservatives/Conservative Media 'lost their minds' over something that never happened.

And to add insult to injury, Bill C-22 will still pass on Friday.

@TryThemTryThem @LichTamara He was found incompetent because he actually read the science, and most if it didn't conform to the government science, so they shut him down as they did with so many others for attempting to keep people informed.

With great pleasure we welcome Dr. Mark Trozzi to the show this week. Like so many doctors, Dr. Trozzi had the courage to question pandemic/vax mandates and measures and has been persecuted and has sacrificed much as a result.

🚨 BREAKING🚨

The Liberals are trying to ram C-22 through the House of Commons before summer. This would mean zero, absolutely zero amendments, zero further debate, to the largest expansion of government surveillance in history. This is not democracy, this is tyranny.
