Working on a quick analysis of Bill C-34, but initial reaction is that this is largely the original Online Harms Act (platforms only) + social media ban for under 16 + Bill S-209 (pornography and age verification) + expansion to AI chatbots + power to Digital Safety Commission.
@ryangerritsen Repeat after me: Russian and American interference bad. Chinese interference good... or non-existent.
Our clown world and gaslighting continues.

As official sponsor of this legal challenge, the Concerned Constituents of Canada is disappointed, disheartened and, frankly, disturbed at the outcome of the application hearing that concluded roughly a month ago. As the application judge said near the end of the hearing, she would judge this matter on its merits. Unfortunately, she did not.
From the outset of my involvement at the beginning of 2021, I made it clear to all involved that this was substantially a legal action based upon the preponderance of expert evidence that challenged the premises of the pandemic. By April of that year, as coordinator of evidence at the time, I had assembled a team of six experts who would table 11 reports (6 initial reports and then another 5 upon reply). The government's lone expert did not refute any of the evidence submitted.
Absolutely nothing changed from April/May of 2021, when all of the evidence was sworn, until September of 2024 when the evidence proffered from five of our six experts was re-sworn. Expert #1, a former Chief Medical Officer of Health of Manitoba, refused to re-swear his evidence. No real reason given. Because our public health expert was out, this necessarily kicked our scheduled hearing from early October of 2024 to one at the eventual end of February of this year. It took six months to replace that expert with Dr. David Gortler, a former didactic professor of pharmacology and biotechnology at Yale and Georgetown, with impeccable credentials at the FDA.
The government did everything it could to prevent this challenge from ever being heard. As recently as January 10th, I feared it would not be heard, given the financial realities of seeing it through. But it was. When it became apparent it would be heard, the government decided to ignore all of our expert evidence, spanning roughly 500 pages. None of it was refuted. None of our experts were cross-examined. None of our experts were challenged on their credibility, reliability or impartiality. They and their evidence were quite literally disappeared.
The expectation was of a fair hearing where all of the evidence would be weighed on the balance of probabilities and its preponderance, which lies at the heart of British common law doctrine, tradition and practice. And it has for many centuries. That did not occur. Our experts and their evidence were disappeared once again, only this time by a judge whose sworn duty is to impartially weigh evidence upon its preponderance and the balance of probabilities. She did not.
The principles of fundamental justice are rooted in the pursuit of truth, fairness and unbiased proceedings. We can't speculate on what happened here, only that the truth-seeking function of the court was plainly and obviously unfulfilled. The courts are to rule based upon the evidence in front of it- not what they wish were in front of it, what would be most convenient to judge, or what they may impute by taking judicial notice of facts that have been vigorously contested by the very experts whose evidence is to be impartially judged.
All this, in addition to the fact that the application judge got Adam Skelly's name wrong at the outset of the decision on the style of cause, got Adam's motion decision citation wrong back in 2021 twice, and ignored fundamental questions of law and precedents brought up in written and oral argument. Most importantly, the application judge did not in any way address public interest standing, which was argued both orally and in writing, and backed by an affidavit specifically sworn for that purpose. The judge concluded the application hearing by clearly remarking in open court at the public interest in our challenge, given that the courtroom was packed to the point that it was standing room only. Absolutely no mention of it in her decision, whatsoever.
Naturally, an appeal is forthcoming as the decision written was obviously rushed and not what one would expect from any level of court, particularly Superior Court. It would be inexcusable coming from a newly sworn Justice of the Peace in provincial court, let alone a judge sitting on the high court bench for several years.
This challenge has always been predominantly about the lopsided, preponderance of evidence which has weighed heavily in our favour ever since April/May of 2021 when it was initially sworn. The application judge mentioned the province's lone expert, Dr. Hodge, 16 separate times in her decision; and Dr. DeVilla's name or the "MOH" abbreviation over 100, separate times. The number of times she mentioned one of our experts? ZERO. None of our evidence was weighed. At all. Could any reasonable person somehow see this as fair, just, or true?
Regardless of political slant or ideology- agree or disagree with Adam Skelly's actions back in November of 2020- it is extremely troubling that a Superior Court Justice has disappeared 500 pages of unrefuted, expert evidence in a case that hinges upon it. She also made findings of fact that clearly contradicted what our experts expressly submitted. What happens when the shoe is on the other foot?
The fact is, there were reasonable alternatives that could have been employed in place of the emergency measures imposed and they could have cut short the state of emergency and mandates imposed in Ontario by nearly a full year. The government knew, or ought to have known, about said reasonable alternatives. This must be known and judged by both the courts and the people of this country- not to mention those outside of Canada who don't have the benefit of challenging any of said emergency measures years after the fact.
The decision rendered is not listed on CanLII which is quite telling, given the public interest and importance of said decision. Please don't be demoralized. Don't give up and NEVER give in. Know that we will fight this to the end, until we exhaust all of our appeals. We just need your continued financial support to do so. Please consider giving. Every bit helps.

@ValourLegal@MakisMedicine He should never return, then. So much for "free" (as in beer, apparently) Alberta. Florida will never extradite because none of this stuff is a crime over there.
Just so we’re clear… Howard Lutnik is the *architect* of Trump’s tariff plan. He’s the one who pushed Trump on these.
And at the EXACT SAME TIME that he was doing this, Lutnik’s sons **who he appointed to take over his bank** were betting the tariffs would be struck down and buying up refund rights at $0.25 on the dollar.
And now the government owes companies refunds… and depending on how many refund slips they are holding, the Lutnik’s bank could make BILLIONS of dollars.
There’s nothing else I can say about this that won’t catch me a permaban
Adam Skelly stood his ground when Canada’s COVID regime tried to crush small business.
In 2021, he kept Adamson BBQ open while corporate giants were allowed to operate. Police sieged his restaurant. He was arrested. His life was turned upside down.
Now, after years of pressure, his case reaches a decisive moment in Ontario Superior Court (Feb 25–27).
This is about more than one man.
It’s about justice, accountability, and restoring fundamental freedoms.
Stand with Adam. 🇨🇦

@Tristan0x@CGTNOfficial Time to dust off my 1984 copy of Runaway with Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons and watch it again for close to the 10th time now. More relevant than ever.
To all those who follow me because of @xx_xyathletics and who are now telling me to stop talking about covid...
Let me just explain a few things -- and why that isn't going to happen.
The only reason I'm even active on @X is because of covid. The only reason I have any following at all is because of covid.
Why? Because I objected to school closures and lockdowns from day 1. I lost my career, my city, pretty much all of my friends. Because I said closed schools, closed playgrounds, and masking were harming our kids.
We all suffered the most egregious violations of our civil liberties imaginable during lockdowns. I will never understand why people don't care and want to just pretend it never happened.
We couldn't leave our homes. Literally. We were told we couldn't see family, celebrate the holidays. We couldn't move about freely. We were censored. We couldn't gather or protest (unless it was for BLM, then it was ok). People couldn't go to church or AA meetings. For years!
Two year olds were forced to wear masks for hours a day. They suffered speech and developmental delays. That continue to this day.
Public school students in blue states were kept out of full time school for a year and a half. While their private school peers attended school and played sports. The most vulnerable children were harmed the most.
People couldn't work. 27M people lost their jobs in 2020. 27M!!
People couldn't visit loved ones in the hospital. People died alone. Women gave birth alone.
People were arrested for surfing. In the ocean - alone.
The world shut down. Supply chains stopped. That initiated the inflation we still are struggling to beat back.
I've been a covid dissident since March 2020. Children were harmed. They are still suffering from learning loss and the emotional impact of isolation and halted development. For some, the course of their lives was altered forever. They dropped out of school. Or fell behind and never caught up. Disengaged and never re-engaged. Drugs. Eating disorders. Suicidal ideation. Attempted suicide. Oh and the by way, the trans madness accelerated during lockdowns. Why? Isolation, terminal on-line-ness, depression, anxiety, all of it. Caused by lockdowns.
This is not something I will forgive. Or forget. You can't treat kids like prisoners and expect them to be ok (that is quote from a parent in Generation Covid - a parent who lost his child to suicide in 2021.)
I started making this documentary in 2022, and followed children and families who were harmed for 2 full years. It's called Generation-Covid.
Don't look away.
If you don't call out great lies, particularly great lies spewed by "experts" in court, said great lies will be declared as the "truth" by judges who must judge the preponderance of evidence before the court. No challenge by experts on the evidence is an automatic loss in a medical or scientific case- especially in a highly politicized climate. Bottom line.
@CartlandDavid You can butter it. Britain is toast.
This is a modern date crucifixion or gibbeting. An immense persecution.
Dr. Cartland, get out of there! Follow Dr. Makis to Florida who's been persecuted in Canada. Go to where you're valued.

@mgeist Besides my being shocked that an Alberta Senator is wearing a mask, she's bang-on regarding the government wanting to come up with all the details of this by way of regulations made under s. 12 of the Act. They want to rule by executive decree. Horrible.
@DefiWimar My question is, will this lead to deflation after higher rates sap any remaining buying power out of the markets? Or do they print even MORE and try to paper over the much higher deficit? That may work for the government, but what about everyone else?
@housingdrama@KatKanada_TM No can do. Adam's restaurants all closed prior to the Certificate Of Vaccination ID mandate in Ontario, which was imposed around September 21st of 2021. That means he has no standing to challenge it because he wasn't affected by it. The Adamson BBQ challenge is lockdown only.
@DreaHumphrey I'm old enough to remember that on Canada Day, 2022, the Canadian flag was banned from being flown on Parliament Hill. You literally couldn't get through their airport-style security *onto the grass outside Parliament* if you were carrying a Canadian flag. LGBT and Uke, A-OK. 😱
UNCHALLENGED IN CANADA UNTIL NOW 🚨
To date, no one has challenged the narrative that COVID-19 is one of the deadliest pandemics in human history
° that can be spread by completely healthy people showing no symptoms
° that the virus causing it is “novel” and can evade immunity;
° that the virus can similarly adapt as variants to become far more infectious and deadly.
Anything and everything is “reasonable” under this narrative, and this has been upheld as legal, and will continue to be upheld – as long as the narrative remains intact.
This is the great lie, and it remains completely unchallenged.
Unchallenged in Canada. Unchallenged in the United States. Unchallenged across North America and the entire continent.
Until now.
