BREAKING: Bill Morneau broke Conflict of Interest law in WE Org dealings: Ethics Commissioner

Justin Trudeau's former finance minister Bill Morneau was found to have broken ethics law in his dealings with the WE Organization during his time as a Liberal Party of Canada cabinet minister.

According to the report,

The examination found the relationship between Mr. Morneau and WE included an unusually high degree of involvement between their representatives and afforded WE unfettered access to the Office of the Minister of Finance, which amounted to preferential treatment. Commissioner Dion also found that the preferential treatment was based on Mr. Morneau's relationship with Mr. Craig Kielburger, the co-founder of WE. Not only was Mr. Kielburger a constituent, but Commissioner Dion also determined that he and Mr. Morneau were friends within the meaning of the Conflict of Interest Act (Act).

The findings were released this morning in the Morneau II Report​ by Commissioner Mario Dion.

“The focus of the examination evolved and included documentary evidence that suggested the existence of a relationship between Mr. Morneau and Mr. Kielburger, which predated the program developed as a result of the pandemic. I found Mr. Morneau to be in contravention of the Act,” noted Commissioner Dion.

“As soon as Mr. Morneau was advised that WE would likely play an important role in the student relief initiative, he should have recused himself from that point onwards from Cabinet discussions and decision making.”

Conservatives propose bill to create national suicide prevention hotline

https://tnc.news/2021/05/13/conservatives-propose-bill-to-create-national-suicide-prevention-hotline/

A bill to create a national suicide prevention hotline has passed first reading in the House of Commons with unanimous support.

On Friday, Bill C-294 received support from all parties, bringing Canada closer to have a 9-8-8 suicide hotline like that already announced in the United States.

The effort was spearheaded by Conservative MP Todd Doherty, who says the bill will likely pass into law later this year.

“We knew that Canadians wanted it, we knew that industries supported this and the national mental health association supported this and now we need to find a way to get this done,” Doherty told Vista Radio.

“It was incumbent on the government to move the motion and the will of parliament, which included all parliamentarians who supported my motion to bring 988 to Canada. Now, the real work begins, we had met with the CRTC, we had met with the Telecomms and I have worked with our colleagues across the floor and now the only thing that was missing was political will.”

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Canada has seen a spike in reported mental health issues. As a result of lockdowns across the country, Canadians have reported declining mental health.

Some doctors have reported increases in suicides and suicide attempts, particularly among young people.

Doherty originally sponsored the motion in the House of Commons to gauge support for the hotline on December 11, 2020. The motion passed unanimously. However, Doherty urged the government to act sooner rather than later.

“It’s been 147 days since we passed my 9-8-8 motion in the House,” said Doherty at the time.

“Since then, we’ve lost an estimated 1,600 people to suicide. Another 40,425 have attempted suicide.”

Two UCP MLAs call for Jason Kenney’s resignation

https://tnc.news/2021/05/13/two-ucp-mlas-calls-for-jason-kenneys-resignation/

UCP MLA Todd Loewen is receiving support from at least one of his colleagues after calling for Premier Jason Kenney’s resignation in a scathing letter published early Thursday morning.

In his statement, Loewen announced he was resigning from his position as UCP caucus chair, stating that caucus cannot function properly under Kenney’s leadership.

“Many Albertans, including myself, no longer have confidence in your leadership,” Loewen wrote.

“Albertans perceive our government as out of touch and arrogant, and they expect our caucus to bring their issues of concern to the government. Many of us have tried to do so repeatedly only to be ignored and dismissed.”

Later Thursday morning, UCP MLA David Hanson wrote a Facebook post in support of Loewen, saying he has felt similar frustration from supporters. Both Hanson and Loewen were first elected under the Wildrose banner in 2015.

Kenney has faced criticism for his handling of various files, most notably the pandemic. In April, 15 UCP MLAs, including Loewen and Hanson, wrote an open letter criticizing Kenney’s decision to implement another lockdown.

Loewen wrote that UCP supporters are abandoning the party because of Kenney’s leadership. Rather than addressing the situation, Loewen claims the premier is sidelining and ignoring his MLAs.

“I no longer believe that caucus can function properly; meetings have been cancelled without members’ consent, significant decisions of government have been made without notice to members, and our input as elected members is rarely considered,” he said.

“When the premier chooses not (to) listen to caucus, is it any wonder why the people choose to stop listening to the government?”

“Our supporters and those I represent can no longer tolerate this. These folks have not abandoned the principles and values of the UCP, but they have abandoned you specifically.”

Loewen wrote that many other issues also motivated his decision to call for a change in leadership, including Kenney’s handling of negotiations with the federal government, healthcare, and coal mining.

Children not a ‘vector of transmission’ of COVID-19, nor at risk from it themselves

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/children-and-covid19

May 13, 2021 (Evidence not Fear) – Children are safe from COVID-19 and do not pass it on to relatives, teachers or friends. This short guide highlights the main facts that are backed up by credible mainstream sources.

No risk to children

COVID-19 poses no risk to children, even those in the vulnerable category. The chart below, using data from the Office for National Statistics, compares the number of deaths from young people in England and Wales in 2003 with COVID-19 in 2020. Although there have been deaths among children, those who died were already seriously ill.

England’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jenny Harries says that children are at more risk from flu or car accidents. Statistically speaking, they have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than dying of COVID-19.

Children do not pass on COVID–19

Evidence shows that children are not super spreaders or even a vector of transmission. Schools in Sweden were kept open for children 15 and younger and did not enforce masks or mass testing. It has had zero COVID-19 deaths among 1.8 million children and teachers didn’t have an excess infection risk.

A study of 100 institutions in the UK, one of the largest studies in the world on coronavirus in schools, has shown similar results. Professor Russell Viner, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: “A new study that has been done in UK schools confirms there is very little evidence that the virus is transmitted in schools.”

According to leading epidemiologist and SAGE member Mark Woolhouse, there has been no recorded case of a teacher catching the coronavirus from a pupil anywhere in the world. He told The Times in July 2020 that it may have been a mistake for the UK to close schools.

Strengthen the immune system

Being ‘too clean’ has long been known to create weaker immune systems. Exposure to germs at a young age helps strengthen a child’s ability to mount a defense against pathogens. Professor Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology at Oxford, says: “evidence is mounting that early exposure to these various coronaviruses is what enables people to survive them.”

The measures in place for COVID-19, such as social distancing and frequent use of hand gels, may end up making them more susceptible to disease. In fact, while hand hygiene is an important method of protecting against coronaviruses, overuse of gels and disinfectants may also be breeding superbugs.

No masks

There is no strong medical consensus on whether face masks help outside of health care settings. Further, there seems to be growing evidence that wearing masks at best gives a false sense of security and at worst end up making healthy people more susceptible to getting sick. Dr. Jenny Harries, the UK’s deputy chief medical officer, warned that masks could increase risk of infection: “For the average member of the public walking down a street, it is not a good idea…In fact, you can actually trap the virus in the mask and start breathing it in. Because of these behavioural issues, people can adversely put themselves at more risk than less.”

Professor Russell Viner says that not only is there very little evidence for the use of masks in schools, children could potentially spread the virus if they wear masks. This is because masks are intended to be used for short periods together with other personal protection equipment before disposal.

PHOTOS: Canadians march for life at Parliament Hill, demand end to injustice of abortion

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/photos-canadians-march-for-life-at-parliament-hill-demand-end-to-injustice-of-abortion

OTTAWA, Ontario, May 13, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life Canadians are currently marching for life in Canada’s capital of Ottawa, demanding an end to the country’s brutal abortion-until-birth regime. Canada has some of the most liberal abortion laws in the world.

“Even during an ongoing pandemic, the federal government continues to increase abortion funding overseas, abortion is prioritized as an essential service by the federal and provincial governments, and a majority of our parliamentarians voted to expand euthanasia and assisted suicide, despite exposed cracks in our health care system. This cannot go unopposed,” said Jeff Gunnarson, president of Campaign Life Coalition, which organized the march.

Canadians march against abortion, the ‘greatest human rights injustice of our age’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/thousands-to-march-in-defense-of-life-today-in-canadas-capital

OTTAWA, Ontario, May 13, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Thousands of Canadians are marching to the steps of the nation’s Parliament Hill in Ottawa today to peacefully protest against government-sanctioned abortion on demand and euthanasia in the 2021 Canadian National March for Life.

The National March for Life began at 1:15 p.m. EST. According to event organizers, this march is a “scaled down version,” with groups “of organizers and local grassroots intent on attending” to demand “legal protection for every human being from conception to natural death.”

According to Debbie Duval, National Capital Organizer of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), the Canadian National March for Life is “at its core” a protest against the “greatest human rights injustice of our age.”

“Because of the urgency and importance of life issues like abortion and euthanasia, we have a duty to hold our legislators to account,” Duval told LifeSiteNews.

Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) is the organizer of the event, which last year was held virtually due to COVID-19 lockdowns. A year later, COVID-19 restrictions are still in place in Ontario, banning large gatherings outdoors — but that has not deterred pro-lifers for a second time.

The in-person rally began at 12:30 p.m. EST today before the march on the steps of Canada’s Parliament Hill.

Event organizers say there is a planned speaker line-up which is expected to include both people from CLC and prominent figures from the pro-life and pro-family movement in Canada.

The march will return to Parliament Hill around 2 p.m. for “Silent No More Awareness Testimonies.”

Along with the in-person rally and march, there is a “full program of virtual events,” which started on May 9 and will continue until May 16.

Event organizers told pro-lifers to check the CLC Facebook page for live information regarding the rally and march at facebook.com/marchforlifecanada.

President of CLC Jeff Gunnarson said that although the march will be smaller this year, he believes that it is “important for a core group of representatives to bring the concerns of many Canadians to the steps of our Parliament.”

“Even during an ongoing pandemic, the federal government continues to increase abortion funding overseas, abortion is prioritized as an essential service by the federal and provincial governments, and a majority of our parliamentarians voted to expand euthanasia and assisted suicide, despite exposed cracks in our health care system. This cannot go unopposed,” said Gunnarson.

CLC earlier stated that despite COVID-19 and related restrictions, “we do still have a constitutional right to peacefully demonstrate, as delineated in our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” against abortion and euthanasia.

According to CLC, every day in Canada almost “300 Canadian women undergo an abortion, in which a baby is killed before birth through surgical or chemical means,” adding that on any given day more than “15 vulnerable Canadians are killed by euthanasia or assisted suicide.”

Event planners advise of “legal and health risks associated with attending the National March for Life in Ottawa”

The March for Life has advised all those who choose to come to the in-person rally of their own free will that “every attendee must assess what level of risk they are personally willing to assume” by coming to the event.

“Please be advised of both the legal and health risks associated with attending the National March for Life in Ottawa. We will do our best to mitigate those risks,” noted the organizers. “If you do decide to attend the rally and March for Life, please act respectfully and responsibly, and follow all relevant health measures, outlined here.”

The 2021 Canadian March for Life Youth Conference will take place on Friday, May 14, with an exceptional line-up of pro-life advocates. Titled “I Am With You,” the online event will be taking place from 3 to 8 p.m. EST.

The free event will be hosted by CLC Youth and Niagara Region Right to Life. Speakers are Toni McFadden, the founder of the program Relationships Matter, Joseph Backholm of the Family Research Council, Jay Watts, founder and president of Merely Human Ministries, Inc., and Will Witt, a media personality who works for PragerU.

Participants can join the “I Am With You” conference by filling out the online registration form.

There will be an online Rose Dinner on May 13, emceed by David Bereit, the founder of 40 Days for Life and a pro-life speaker, starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the event can be purchased by clicking HERE.

BREAKING: Hundreds of Canadians march in defense of life in Canada’s capital

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-hundreds-of-canadians-march-in-defense-of-life-in-canadas-capital

OTTAWA, Ontario, May 13, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life Canadians are marching in the nation’s capital to peacefully protest against government-sanctioned abortion on demand and euthanasia in the 2021 Canadian National March for Life.

The march began at around 1:30 p.m., with hundreds, if not thousands, demanding “legal protection for every human being from conception to natural death.”

Pro-life Independent MP Derek Sloan spoke at the rally preceding the march. His family was present, as well. “I don’t believe that having families, that having children slows down your life,” said Sloan.

“I’ve always been pro-life, I haven’t always been super faithful, I am now … I’ve always had issues with abortion, it just doesn’t seem fair. It’s violent, it violates one of the most peaceful areas we have in life, it doesn’t seem fair to the baby.”

Rod Taylor, National Leader of the Christian Heritage Party of Canada, said his party has been supporting pro-life policies for 35 years.

“Almighty God still has dominion from sea to sea,” said Taylor, adding that Canada as a nation is “broken” by allowing abortion and euthanasia to take place, adding to not “lose heart” in the pro-life fight.

Debbie Duval, National Capital Organizer for Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), the organizer of the event, said, “We are here to changes the minds of our leaders and their hearts.”

“Welcome to you, the grassroots, thank you for showing up,” she exclaimed, noting that the Canadian March for Life is not an anti-mask rally, but about “the right to life” for everyone, “from conception to natural death.”

CLC President Jeff Gunnarson said at the rally that the people in attendance “are the prayer warriors” coming out “after a year of hibernation.”

“It is an honor to be here with you … it is your prayers … that changes from the culture of death to the culture of life,” said Gunnarson. “Why is it that abortion is an essential service… who came up with that idea, why are we going to let that happen … There is more of us then there are of them. Why are you here today? The answer to that is pro-life.”

Haley Kimball, a mother of three, said she knows without a doubt about the “humanity of the child inside the womb.”

Angelina Steenstra, National Coordinator for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign Canada, said that “you’re child is really — has an identity. Be not afraid … proclaim the truth that you can choose life. You are not alone.”

Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, explained that euthanasia is “about killing people … denying proper care.” He added, “It’s about a culture of abandonment … our challenge now is to promote a culture of life.”

According to CLC, every day in Canada almost “300 Canadian women undergo an abortion, in which a baby is killed before birth through surgical or chemical means,” adding that on any given day more than “15 vulnerable Canadians are killed by euthanasia or assisted suicide.”

Along with the in-person rally and march, there is a “full program of virtual events,” which started on May 9 and will continue until May 16.

Canadian March for Life organizer: Politicians need to start ‘constantly’ bringing forward pro-life bills

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadian-march-for-life-organizer-politicians-need-to-start-constantly-bringing-forward-pro-life-bills

OTTAWA, Ontario, May 13, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – At today’s National March for Life in Canada’s capital of Ottawa, Jeff Gunnarson, the president of Campaign Life Coalition, said that Canada needs “politicians who are not just pro-life, but they actually have to believe in passing legislation. And the way you pass it is by asking. So we need pro-life MPs to ask to end abortion, to bring bills to end abortion.”

In a video interview with LifeSite’s John-Henry Westen, Gunnarson explained, “Under Trudeau’s government, we don’t see anything passed.”

“We need an activist MP, times a hundred, or more, to just constantly bring forward bills to protect children in the womb,” said Gunnarson, whose organization is responsible for the annual National March for Life.

Derek Sloan was booted from the Conservative Party caucus under pro-abortion Leader Erin O’Toole. “I’m incredibly proud of my husband,” said Jennifer Sloan, the mother of two daughters and a son.

==Canada to follow USA down postal-ballot rabbit hole

How the “pandemic” is being used as an excuse to snuff out what little democracy is left in the Western world.==

https://off-guardian.org/2021/05/13/canada-to-follow-usa-down-postal-ballot-rabbit-hole/

The government of Canada is getting ready to amend its election laws to allow the counting of mail-in ballots after the polls have closed, and massively increase the country’s reliance on postal ballots.

According to a report from RebelNews.com, Canada is expecting to issue over 5 million postal votes during the upcoming election, an increase of over 5000% from the ~50,000 issued in the last election. They are also pushing Bill C-19 through parliament which would “temporarily” change election laws to, among other things, allow votes to be counted after polling day.

This was the same exact system that effectively allowed the most obviously rigged US election since 2000 to take place last November.

The covid “pandemic” maybe being used as the reason to change election laws, but it’s not the mechanism by which the votes themselves become much easier to fix. That title belongs to mail-in ballots.

Mail-in or postal ballots have long been the key to electoral fraud in the Western world, with experts warning for decades that they are incredibly vulnerable to fraud:

Vote by mail is more susceptible to corruption than voting at polling places [and] is amenable to manipulation by election officials.

Vote by Mail Doesn’t Deliver, Teresa James & Michael Slater

In fact, the last UK general election, which pre-dated the “pandemic” by a few weeks, was noteworthy for having a surprisingly lop-sided result, accompanied by an unexpected focus on postal ballots and obvious corruption and irregularities in the postal ballot system.

I wrote about this at length last year, when it became supremely obvious that the US election was going to be rigged using postal votes (spoiler alert: it was).

The same exact dynamic which was used to give Creepy Uncle Joe over 80 million votes in November is now being prepped in Canada.

Regional elections in the country have already been subject to weeks of delays and court battles thanks to the influx of postal voting.

This chaos mirrors exactly the fall-out of Biden’s “victory” in the US, and is obviously an important part of this new breed of “democracy”. Unreliable ballots, huge delays in reporting results all in the name of creating confusion and doubt and putting a final nail in the coffin of Western democracy.

“The new normal” for elections, if you will.
