What was the most impressive show of cross-country unity, human connection, patriotism, and peaceful political resistance was twisted into the opposite by a complicit government-media propaganda drive. Donna LaFramboise's book, Thank You, Truckers tells the stories of the massive efforts by individuals and communities to support the convoy with food, shelter, entertainment for children, warm clothing and more. This will always be the real Canada for me.@Noconsensus

For questioning the wisdom of giving covid shots to pregnant women I was thrown off Twitter. The whole mRNA technology is an on going disaster. Sonia @sonia_elijah continues to do fantastic work exposing the truth.
🚨🧵As early as 2021 I began sounding the alarm bells on COVID shot harms, particularly those to PREGNANT WOMEN. I was one of the first journalists to expose the horrors buried in the #Pfizer papers released by the FDA under FOIA.

In May 2020, a 125-lb patient with COPD went for a walk in the lobby of Toronto General Hospital.
Her mask was not on properly. Security guards assaulted her.
A security camera is moved out of position so you can't see what happens next. When the camera returns to position, she is not moving.
The coroner reports she died of "restraint asphyxia."
The security guard who moved the camera away kept his job.
Some institutions behaved very badly during the pandemic. This should not be forgotten. They should be reformed.
Images posted to X in recent days (by others). Amazing how quickly so many smart people lost their minds.
Experiencing a spiritual crisis amid all the lunacy? ‘We don’t serve your kind.’

Adults to me as a child:
“If Johnny jumped in a lake, would you?”
“Be the change you want to see in the world!”
“Live your values!”
“Be yourself!”
Then Covid happened.

The Freedom Convoy happened during an extremely sad time for very young children. I think on it often.
When the convoy stopped in Saskatoon, we drove up as a family to cheer them on. Mask-free, happy families everywhere holding signs of support.
The truckers were so kind to the kids and one man asked if my daughter wanted to honk his truck horn.
He lifted her up into the cab, they honked the horn together and then she turned to him and gave him a huge hug.
He hugged her back and she hugged him tighter. They had a moment.
That trucker, on his way across Canada through storms and bitter cold to Ottawa didn’t know it when he hugged my daughter, but aside from us, not a single local member of our family would hug her at that time because the government had confused and scared the shit out of them to the point that they feared the air near a child the loved might give them Covid.
I think that kind trucker’s name was Cam, and my daughter cheered for Cam and all the rest of those brave men and women the entire way to Ottawa.
She still remembers the convoy, and she still remembers that hug.
The Freedom Convoy was a turning point of positive change in a horrible time and my daughter will never forget what they did for her.
Neither will I.

What legal test was used to approve the first COVID-19 vaccines in Canada?
The Allison Inquiry has released its first exhibits, and they're not opinions—they're official Government of Canada documents, including regulations, Orders in Council, and Health Canada guidance documents.
According to the documents submitted to the Inquiry, the first COVID-19 vaccines were approved under a different legal approval process than regular drugs. The first exhibit argues that this temporary process did not require safety or efficacy to be proven in the same way as the standard drug approval process, and includes the Government of Canada's own regulations and policy documents so Canadians can examine the legal framework for themselves.
We've also included a simple chart that compares the regular drug approval process with the COVID-19 vaccine approval process to make these documents easier to understand.
Don't take anyone's word for it—including ours.
Read the official Government of Canada documents yourself and decide what they show.

The Allison Inquiry depends on people like you.
The Allison Inquiry is a citizen-funded, volunteer-led effort to ensure Canadians who were injured by COVID-19 vaccines have the opportunity to be heard.
There is no government funding. Every hearing, every witness, and every step forward is made possible by Canadians who believe that listening matters.

Biased rulings, activist reinterpretations, and disconnected judgments erode trust in the courts. You can't lecture people into obeying a system they no longer see as legitimate.
Trust is earned, not dictated.
Eva bells the cat. The media have become a serious impediment: “Citizens who ask questions, raise concerns, challenge official narratives, or seek accountability are dismissed, disparaged, and portrayed negatively rather than recognized as active participants in a healthy democracy.”
Why does legacy media have to be so adversarial toward citizens?
The media is supposed to hold governments and other powerful institutions accountable. Instead, it seems to have set its sights on the public itself.
Citizens who ask questions, raise concerns, challenge official narratives, or seek accountability are dismissed, disparaged, and portrayed negatively rather than recognized as active participants in a healthy democracy. There is something seriously wrong when the media treats engaged citizens as a threat instead of recognizing them as the people democracy is meant to serve.
And importantly, the public funds the media—not the government! Too many, especially those in legacy media, seem to forget that. Citizens are not the enemy. They are the people these institutions are supposed to serve, and they certainly are the ones funding them.
A free and independent media plays a vital role in a democracy, but that role is not to shield those in power from scrutiny. It is to ensure that power is exercised responsibly, transparently, and in the public interest.
Imagine if legacy media spent more time facilitating honest discussions about the serious issues in Canada and less time chasing cheap gotcha moments, partisan narratives, and public disparagement.
We would all be better off.
But perhaps that is not the goal. 🤔

Canada’s Chief Justice Richard Wagner has installed a lifelike bronze bust of himself in our highest court.
It should be called ‘Narcissus Canadiannus”
- There is no precedent for something this vulgar in the history of the Court. It should be taken down. Richard fancies himself.
- Richard also fancies his own opinion on things. He violated legal due process and the Courts reputation by publicly accusing the Convoy - who protested backwards federal Covid policies that were soon dropped of ‘anarchy’ and ‘hostage taking’.
Now that the Convoys freedom of speech, assembly and due process rights have been asserted by lower courts the Supreme Court has to consider the appeal of the federal govt and weigh the rights of citizens against the decision of the federal government to impose the Emergencies Act to suspend those rights.
Wagners lack of judicial discretion in the first instance makes his recusal from such an important rights-defining case important because it signals not just fairness in the content of the decision but in the way the decision gets reached by the highest Court.
He has already shown his bias. Any decision against the convoy poisons the integrity of the Court if he remains present.
But Richard - the man with the bust of himself in our Court - doesn’t imagine himself under the law he imposes on others. He hasn’t completed any graduate work in law or published any academic work in law, philosophy or jurisprudence so it’s hard to know how he justifies himself in these matters.
Ironically, he has a reputation for warning others - including those far more qualified in formal jurisprudence than he is - not to critique Canadian judges like himself or their (increasingly bizarre and politicized) decisions.
But, from the Magna Carta onwards, Richard should know that in law as in politics dissent is democracy.
The dissent of the Convoy and the growing critique of Richards own bizarre behaviour and inability to articulate a judicial philosophy is exactly what’s needed to save Canada - and the Court’s reputation as a place where justice - not the ego of the Justices - is at stake.
Richard should recuse himself. And remove that vulgar bust from the Supreme Court.

Chief Justice Richard Wagner is refusing to recuse himself from the Emergencies Act case, despite previously calling the Freedom Convoy the “start of anarchy” and saying protesters “took citizens hostage.”
He has clearly shown his bias.
Now he says there’s “no reasonable apprehension of bias.”
That’s a problem.
You don’t publicly characterize one side in those terms, then turn around and sit in judgment over them. This isn’t about whether he believes he’s impartial, it’s whether a reasonable person would.
Do you or I believe him to be unbiased with everything we currently know? From his comments I don't see him as unbiased on this matter.
When the Chief Justice has already framed the conduct as “anarchy,” the answer isn’t complicated. It's a given.
Even Mahmud Jamal stepped aside in another case to avoid becoming a distraction, not because he had to, but because public confidence matters.
That’s the standard.
This isn’t just about one case, it’s about whether the public believes the process is fair.
Because once that’s gone, the ruling doesn’t matter. No one will believe his "findings." And we currently have a government that are happy to ignore 'bias' in their favour if it adds momentum to their current goals.

This person explains that the Irish govt has agreed to a meeting with protesters, on day 4. The meeting will also include reps of third parties the protesters don’t respect, but at least there’s the potential for useful dialogue.
Quick reminder: Canada’s truckers protested for 3 wks in in sub-zero weather in early 2022. The federal govt refused to meet with them. At all. No dialogue happened.

When Paul R Ehrlich was born, global average life expectancy was less than 40 years. When he died a few days ago at 93, it was 73.2 years and rising. When he was born, 31% of children died before they were five. Today, that figure is 3.7% and falling. Yet he spent most of his time on this planet telling us that this is a bad thing, and that things are getting worse. All of his prophecies failed. Yet the bad science and bad arithmetic underpinning his claims continued to be used by the weirdo UN environmental agencies, global environmental movement, and the Guardian -- the most spectacularly debunked pseudoscience in history continued to arm the arguments against making life better, and to deny people the opportunity of taking part in markets and industries, and enjoying health and wealth. The human consequences of it are incalculable. Yet such movements founded on his grim work believe that they are the nice guys who want to make the world a better place.

Europe's official grid authority has released its report on the nationwide blackout that hit Spain last year. And while the report treads carefully politically, its data make the cause clear.
Wind and solar triggered the collapse.
Within the first 80 seconds, Spain lost 2.5 GW of generation, around 10% of its national supply, with every MW of that early loss coming from renewables.
Gas and hydro remained stable until the cascade was already underway.
The report calls it an unprecedented speed of blackout. This was a textbook inverter chain failure, with renewables dropping so fast that the grid's stabilizers never had time to react.
By midday, Spain's grid had virtually no inertia, nothing spinning fast enough to hold frequency steady.
But to admit that outright would mean questioning Europe's green transition itself, something the report appears unable to do. So the event is officially described as "a rare local disturbance," rather than what it actually was...
A systemic failure of weather-dependent power.
