Public Health Agency of Canada failed to connect the dots on COVID
In the frantic early days of what would become the global COVID-19 pandemic, Canadians were expected to look to Dr. Theresa Tam, then Chief Public Health Officer, for straight answers.
What they received instead was a troubling disconnect between private awareness and public messaging.
On January 7, 2020, Tam received an email titled “Chinese News coverage of the Wuhan disaster,” according to internal government emails obtained through access-to-information requests.
She promptly forwarded it to her senior communications advisor at Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), Anna Maddison, noting the mention of Maddison’s name in the Chinese-language article with what reads like a casual gloat: “Your name in a Chinese newspaper.”
Maddison replied, hoping the coverage was positive. Tam responded simply: “Yes, factual.”
The article from Ming Pao Canada, translated from Mandarin, highlighted concerning developments in Wuhan, including an unidentified respiratory outbreak, and flagged concerning increases in flu data from Toronto Public Health specifically.
At that point, Canada’s official line was that no similar cases had been detected domestically, no Canadians had fallen ill abroad, and existing travel advisories were sufficient. Maddison was quoted as saying the federal government was “closely monitoring” the situation in coordination with provinces and the World Health Organization.
This was January 7. Just weeks later, on January 20, Tam continued to project calm in public statements, claiming low risk to the public.
Yet the timeline raises serious questions about what officials knew — and when.
It wasn’t long before that Canadian Armed Forces members were returning from the Military World Games in Wuhan in late October 2019, some isolated on flights home with severe respiratory symptoms.
Canada’s 2019-2020 flu season intensified in mid-November, bringing waves of pneumonia-like illness that many Canadians, including myself, remember vividly: brutal coughs, hospitalizations among otherwise healthy children, and a sense that something more than a typical seasonal bug was circulating.
It wasn’t until December 31, 2019, that PHAC’s Global Public Health Intelligence Network (GPHIN) received its first alert of a novel pathogen, and notification to key departments followed the next day.
Still, by the end of January 2020, the public message remained reassuring: no cases in Canada.
While Tam’s team downplayed domestic risks, Canada shipped approximately 16 tonnes of personal protective equipment (including masks, gowns, gloves, face shields) from the national emergency stockpile to China in early February 2020.
Frontline workers would later scramble to find suitable PPE as the virus spread and Canada faced a shortage.
Tam also pushed back against early calls for border measures, warning that criticism of the response or references to the “Wuhan flu” carried undertones of racism or xenophobia. The virus was soon rebranded COVID-19, softening focus on its origins.
By late January 2020, when Canada’s first official cases emerged, opportunities for early containment had already narrowed.
These emails and timeline paint a picture of officials who had intelligence from Chinese media, their own global networks, reports from returning military personnel, and yet maintained a public posture of low risk.
What ensued was years of frantic hysteria, unprecedented civil rights infringements, and a level of psychological and economic manipulation that many Canadians still struggle to process.
Investigations by the U.S. Congress have since concluded that COVID-19 most likely emerged from a laboratory-related incident in Wuhan. Yet China has stonewalled every serious attempt at a transparent, independent investigation — refusing to hand over critical data, blocking access to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and punishing scientists who dared speak out.
What becomes clearer with hindsight is the human cost of delayed action, mismatched messaging, and supposed ‘officials’ who were either dangerously incompetent at best, or negligent, at worst.
Canadians deserve accountability from the public health leaders entrusted with protecting them, not Order of Canada accolades.
REPORT by @TamaraUgo:
Nicklas Nilsson förklarar skillnaden mellan höger och vänstermänniskor i klockren text på Facebook:
"Om en högerpolitisk person är bög, så är han det, och bryr sig inte om vad andra tycker.
Om en vänster är bög, så kräver han lagändringar, protesterar mot allt och alla, och gör det till en politisk kamp.
Om en höger är vegan, så äter han helt enkelt inte kött.
Om en vänster är vegan, så vill han förbjuda kött, stoppa matproduktionen och protestera utanför bondgårdar och hönsfarmer.
Om en höger inte gillar vapen, så köper han inga.
Om en vänster inte gillar vapen, så försöker han förbjuda dem, hindra alla andra från att äga ett, och hatar dem som har.
Om en höger oroar sig för klimatet, så flyger han mindre, kör elbil om det passar honom och sorterar sitt avfall.
Om en vänster oroar sig för klimatet, så vill han förbjuda fossilbilar, flygresor och kött för alla andra, protestera utanför fabriker och kräva att staten tvingar fram förändringen.
Om en höger vill ge sina barn en bra skolgång, så flyttar han till ett område med bra skolor, eller väljer en privatskola eller engagerar sig själv.
Om en vänster vill ge sina barn en bra skolgång, så kräver han mer skattepengar från alla, lika resultat för alla, förbud mot friskolor och protesterar mot varje skillnad.
Om en höger klagar på sitt jobb eller arbetsplats.. det gör han det inte. Han byter jobb eller startar ett eget företag.
Om en vänster klagar på sitt jobb – så är det chefen, företaget eller kollegorna det är fel på. Han kräver kollektivavtal, strejk, förändringar för hela orten och protesterar mot företaget så att det ska passa honom.
Om en höger är missnöjd med sin bostad eller hyra, så flyttar han, renoverar eller köper något annat.
Om en vänster är missnöjd med sin bostad eller hyra, så kräver han hyresstopp, mer bidrag, regleringar för alla och protesterar mot hyresvärdar och politiker.
Om en höger misslyckas med en affär eller en investering som går snett, så reser han sig upp, dammar av sig och försöker igen imorgon.
Om en vänster har slut på pengar den 24:e, så skyller han på att de rika har för mycket och måste bidra mer, skyller på att lotterivinsten inte gick hem förra veckan och muttrar att han har så himla otur.
Om en höger ser det här – så skickar han det till några kompisar för ett gott skratt.
Om en vänster ser det här – så försöker han argumentera emot, få det bortplockat och radera mig från Facebook."
Statins do not fail quietly.
The failure shows up as fatigue, brain fog, and muscle weakness, and it gets filed under ageing.
Statins block the enzyme that makes cholesterol, and cholesterol is the raw material for testosterone, oestrogen, and every cell membrane in the body.
Block production and the raw material runs short. Mitochondrial function drops. Insulin resistance worsens. Lp(a), a genetic risk marker, rises by roughly eleven percent on average.
None of this appears on the leaflet as a side effect. It appears at the next appointment as a new diagnosis and a new prescription.
The drug sold to protect the heart quietly creates the demand for the next drug.
Something is at war with us, “us” being regular citizens who want things to work and to be left alone. We’re slow to react because we think in terms of nations. Our enemies are mafias that wear our governments like a cloak to defeat our eyes, and fly our flags to disarm our minds
🚨Must Read🚨 Amazing speech by political broadcaster and former president of the Liberal Party of Canada, Stephen LeDrew:
“Just this past Tuesday, a reporter asked the Prime Minister in a press conference, “Did you mislead Canadians, sir?” Carney looked and turned and walked away… He is known for that kind of behavior. He can be a little bit snarky. He doesn’t like a question, he just turns and walks away. You would never see any of our former Prime Ministers do that. You would never see the President of the United States any, well, Trump probably, but any other president wouldn’t do that because they have character. Because they have a conviction of what they’re doing. And if they don’t like the question, at least they would answer it.
Carney, this was talking about the Gordie Howe agreement. He said the agreement would be paying back the debt and then we’d split with revenues with the United States. That was not the case. It was not the truth. Bloomberg has the agreement. It’s been revealed now that Mr. Carney, our Prime Minister, was not telling Canadians the truth. It’s not the first time he has not told the truth…
A good politician knows how to read the room, how to read the opposition, knows how to get his way, how to give and take. Our Prime Minister is a bureaucrat. He has spent his whole life giving instructions to people under him. He expects things to get done. That’s not the way politics works. It’s not the way that government works… Here’s a great economist, our economy’s going down the toilet… we may have a Prime Minister who doesn’t know politics, who thinks he’s running a bank, who has given all kinds of benefits to certain friends…
It all comes down to the fact that he doesn’t have the character that’s necessary to be a successful Prime Minister and to lead this country out of the malaise that’s been in since 2015. You know what happened then. So, the essential question is, does Canada have a weenie as a Prime Minister? Someone who is just really an obsequious sycophant who has good words and no action. Otherwise known as a weenie. Think about it, please.”
🚨 ELON JUST SAID IT OUT LOUD!
After that interview with The Economist’s Editor-in-Chief, he didn’t sugarcoat it.
He posted it straight:
“She is a traitor to the West, plain and simple.”
The media keeps pretending Elon is the threat… while regular people watch them ignore border chaos, rising crime, and reckless spending.
They’re not mad because he’s spreading “fascism.”
They’re mad because he’s spreading common sense and millions of people are listening.
“Despite Hillary Clinton’s claims to be a champion for black people, her political agenda threatens the education of black children, the employment of black adults and the physical safety of black communities.”

This young man
Exposed BILLIONS in fraud
Has uncovered more than every reporter
At the White House Correspondents Dinner
COMBINED… YET
He did not receive an award
He did it in a Hoodie
And a Phone camera. Nothing fancy
Nick Shirley deserves all the Awards
One of these people is working and paying billions to preserve our freedoms.
The other is fighting to retain their own political agenda and would gladly censor your freedom of speech.

⚡🇬🇧 Rupert Lowe wants to deport over a million immigrants.
“If somebody comes here illegally, they’re breaking the law. They should be detained and deported.”
“No hotels, no luxuries, no benefits.
A plane ticket home.”
Restore Britain
“Science” intentionally poisoned & damaged children’s hearts for profit. Children had ZERO risk from COVID yet they poisoned them anyway.
No big deal.
This will never be reported correctly, nor will anyone ever be held accountable.
Most people will never even acknowledge any of it because to do so would require them to realize they acted like evil monsters.
Liberal White Woman: "Some people loathe you. Do you understand why?"
Elon: "Maybe some people do loathe me. That's probably true. I don't care. I think a lot more people hate you and the media than you realize."
I love this man!!!!!! 🤣
Imagine getting to interview one of the greatest minds of our generation. The richest guy in the world… and you spend the whole interview lecturing him on why he is wrong and telling him that people loathe him.
This is an embarrassment for legacy media.
How does a country make itself safe and productive?
Great Britain did it with Christianity—and by executing or imprisoning the worst males in every generation for hundreds of years.
By the 1960s, the country was so civilized that policeman carried nothing but a nightstick, everybody queued without a second thought, and newspaper boxes were left unlocked on the high street.
Britain had become a so-called high trust society — less euphemistically, an honest society.
Something similar—without the Christianity—transpired in Japan.
What happens to such a country if it forgets how difficult that was to attain?
The Brits found out. And then denied it.

Why are our Governments not investigating the ‘white clots’ found in the bodies of the deceased by embalmers since the jab rollout ?
Is it because they already know what is causing them ?
“Full fat dairy clogs your arteries.”
Say that to a Maasai herder living on milk, meat, and blood, with some of the lowest heart disease rates ever recorded.
Say it to the French, eating butter and cheese by the block, outliving the Americans who switched to margarine decades ago.
The fat was never the problem. The seed oil that replaced it was extracted using hexane, deodorised to remove the smell of its own rancidity, and marketed as heart healthy by the same industry that funded the studies proving it.
Full fat dairy has fed functioning, low-disease populations for thousands of years. Sunflower oil has existed in the food supply for about a century and already needed a rebrand once, from cooking oil to heart health product, to survive its own reputation.
One of these needed a marketing campaign to be trusted. The other never did.
Some Canadians are calling for a tax on oil flowing to the United States in response to Trump's tariffs.
Danielle Smith didn't mince words, calling the idea "dumb" and an "emotional response."
Do you agree with Danielle Smith? 👍
"Much of what is called 'social problems' consists of the fact that intellectuals have theories that do not fit the real world. From this, they conclude that it is the real world which is wrong and needs changing."
