Whistle Stop Cafe sets up “freedom park,” plans for “biggest protest Alberta's ever seen”
https://www.rebelnews.com/whistle_stop_cafe_sets_up_freedom_park_plans_for_biggest_protest_albertas_ever_seen
On Wednesday, at 6:30 in the morning, close to a dozen RCMP officers and Alberta Health Services officials moved in to seize the Whistle Stop Cafe.
The renegade small town diner in Mirror, Alberta is owned by Chris Scott, and he's been defying the lockdown restrictions on restaurants since January. He's one of Rebel News' highest profile Fight the Fines clients, because his intense staring contest with the government very nearly culminated with Chris going to jail for contempt of court.
However, the government blinked and allowed Alberta restaurants to reopen for dine-in service in February.
But now the restrictions on dining service are back. Even patios are closed in this fourth lockdown and Chris is having none of it. The government has already pulled his health permits and his liquor license and confiscated his booze.
But Chris continued to flip burgers and serve happy customers inside his little restaurant.
That all changed Wednesday morning, when the chains went up on the doors at Chris's restaurant at the request of the Alberta government. But it's not just the restaurant that's closed to the public. The government has also closed the Whistle Stop convenience store, gas station and the campsite, cutting off this small town of 500 from gas and general supplies, with the nearest convenience store approximately 20 kilometres away.
I went out to the Whistle Stop to find out what Chris plans to do next. He was still flipping burgers and serving customers, but he was doing it outside in the yard, a place he calls the Whistle Stop Freedom Park. He's got big plans for a huge protest on the weekend and his Fight The Fines lawyer Chad Williamson is working hard on a strategy to hit back at the government.
The Alberta government might have chained up Chris's doors, but they are not going to be able to chain up his fighting spirit.
Black Christian denounced by Christian university over systemic racism comment
https://www.rebelnews.com/black_christian_denounced_by_christian_university_over_systemic_racism_comment
The Bible consists of many great teachings and commands that are “politically incorrect” according to today’s standards, including when it comes to the discussion of race.
The Bible states that we are all made in God’s image, and rejects the distinction between races.
Yet, even so, the progressive critical race theory movement that pushes people into two categories of either the “oppressed” or that of the “oppressors” based on the colour of their skin, spreads like a plague through our places of education, including Christian Universities.
Alberta’s Ambrose University invited speakers to give a talk at an event during Black History Month.
However, when one of their speakers spoke about racism from a biblical perspective that doesn’t align with the worlds politically correct version of the topic, they were quick to regret their decision to have him speak.
In a statement of apology Ambrose University accused the speaker of causing “severe harm to those who were in attendance” of the virtual event by denying the “the existence of systemic racism.”
In my full report, I sat down to interview that speaker, Samuel Sey, the black, Christian, pro-life blogger that Ambrose student ambassador Lauren Schmitke and director of social justice Amy Bourque — both of whom appear to be white — felt appropriate to denounce and apologize for after his biblical chat.
Watch above as Sey recaps the two main biblical points made during the talk that he now believes serve no purpose for the university's own agenda.
So, what do you think?
Was Sey out of line and causing immense harm with this scripture based teaching?
Or should institutions like Ambrose University be less concerned about race theories frequently adopted by Marxists and more inclined to at least not condemn the discussion of how God’s word does not correctly align with such theories?
US Senate Leader Schumer calls for re-opening of Canada-US border
https://tnc.news/2021/05/06/us-senate-leader-schumer-calls-for-re-opening-of-canada-us-border/
US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says the Canada-US border should open soon as residents of both countries suffer the effects of prolonged closures.
Originally reported by True North contributor Anthony Furey, Schumer travelled to the Massena International Airport in upstate New York this week to make his case for re-opening the border.
“We can’t wait any longer,” the New York state senator said.
“The monthly extensions… have no rhyme or reason, they confuse people, they don’t let people plan, they frustrate thousands of western New Yorkers and Southern Ontarians, who depend on the border crossing.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau originally closed the border to non-essential travel on March 16, 2020 and has extended the closure each month since.
Earlier this week, Trudeau indicated that he was not interested in re-opening the border anytime soon, but added that he may consider reopening it in the summer “if everything goes well.”
Schumer says the United States’ high vaccination rates and New York’s recent decision to lift most restrictions means keeping the border closed is no longer necessary.
“While at the beginning — and in the height — of the pandemic it was understandable for such drastic measures to be taken, we know much more about the virus than we knew in March of last year and are making strong gains against it,” he said.
“Since vaccination rates have risen, overall rates are steadily falling, and New York is ready to reopen, based on the data, it is time to take the first steps towards reopening the Northern Border to non-essential travel.”
Unfortunately, Canada drastically lags behind the U.S. when it comes to vaccinating Canadians. According to government data, as of April 30, 2021, only 2.55% of Canada’s population has been fully vaccinated with two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
In comparison, 32.3% of Americans are fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Schumer is the latest to join the bipartisan chorus of U.S. politicians calling for the reopening of the border to normal travellers.
In April, Democratic Congressman Brian Higgins, who represents the cities of Buffalo and Niagara Falls, called for the border to re-open, noting that many families in border towns have been torn apart.
Alaska Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy recently offered free vaccinations to the residents of a small Canadian town on the Alaska-BC border. Dunleavy personally visited the border with Alaska’s chief medical officer to offer the vaccines and ask Canada to begin allowing residents to cross.
Only TWO Companies, Vanguard And BlackRock, Control The Planet While World’s Richest 1% Own 82% Of World’s Wealth

CONTROLOnly TWO Companies, Vanguard And BlackRock, Control The Planet While World’s Richest 1% Own 82% Of World’s WealthHAFHAFMay 5, 2021
by Alexandra Bruce
If you’ve been wondering how the world economy has been hijacked and humanity has been kidnapped by a completely bogus narrative, look no further than this video by Dutch creator, Covid Lie.
only two companies, vanguard and blackrock, control the planet while world's richest 1% own 82% of world's wealth
What she uncovers is that the stock of the world’s largest corporations are owned by the same institutional investors. They all own each other.
This means that “competing” brands, like Coke and Pepsi aren’t really competitors, at all, since their stock is owned by exactly the same investment companies, investment funds, insurance companies, banks and in some cases, governments. This is the case, across all industries. As she says:
“The smaller investors are owned by larger investors. Those are owned by even bigger investors. The visible top of this pyramid shows only two companies whose names we have often seen…
They are Vanguard and BlackRock.
The power of these two companies is beyond your imagination. Not only do they own a large part of the stocks of nearly all big companies but also the stocks of the investors in those companies. This gives them a complete monopoly.
A Bloomberg report states that both these companies in the year 2028, together will have investments in the amount of 20 trillion dollars. That means that they will own almost everything.
Bloomberg calls BlackRock “The fourth branch of government”, because it’s the only private agency that closely works with the central banks.
BlackRock lends money to the central bank but it’s also the advisor. It also develops the software the central bank uses. Many BlackRock employees were in the White House with Bush and Obama.
Its CEO, Larry Fink can count on a warm welcome from leaders and politicians. Not so strange, if you know that he is the front man of the ruling company but Larry Fink does not pull the strings himself.
BlackRock, itself is also owned by shareholders. Who are those shareholders? We come to a strange conclusion. The biggest shareholder is Vanguard.
But now he gets murky. Vanguard is a private company and we cannot see who the shareholders are.
The elite who own Vanguard apparently do not like being in the spotlight but of course they cannot hide from who is willing to dig.
Reports from Oxfam and Bloomberg say that 1% of the world, together owns more money than the other 99%. Even worse, Oxfam says that 82% of all earned money in 2017 went to this 1%.
In other words, these two investment companies, Vanguard and BlackRock hold a monopoly in all industries in the world and they, in turn are owned by the richest families in the world, some of whom are royalty and who have been very rich since before the Industrial Revolution.
Why doesn’t everybody know this? Why aren’t there movies and documentaries about this? Why isn’t it in the news? Because 90% of the international media is owned by nine media conglomerates.
Covid Lie asks, “Who sponsors the organization and press agencies that produce our news? With Project Syndicate, we see the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Open Society Foundation and the European Journalism Centre.
The organizations that bring the news get paid by non-profit organizations, of the same elite that also owns the entire media but also a part of taxpayers money is used to pay them.”
Or, as George Carlin said, “It’s a small club and you ain’t in it.”
So when Lynn Forester de Rothschild wants the United States to be a one-party country (like China) and doesn’t want voter ID laws passed in the US, so that more election fraud can be perpetrated to achieve that end,what does she do?
She holds a conference call with the world’s top 100 CEOs and tells them to publicly decry as “Jim Crow” Georgia’s passing of an anti-corruption law and she orders her dutiful CEOs to boycott the State of Georgia, like we saw with Coca-Cola and Major League Baseball and even Hollywood star, Will Smith.
In this conference call, we see shades of the Great Reset, Agenda 2030, the New World Order.

The Manufacturing of a Mass Psychosis – Can Sanity Return to an Insane World?
https://academyofideas.com/2021/04/manufacturing-of-a-mass-psychosis-can-sanity-return-to-an-insane-world/
The following is a transcript of this video.
“The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.”
Gustav Le Bon, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind
Diseases of the body can spread through a population and reach epidemic proportions, but so too can diseases of the mind. And of these epidemics of the latter variety, the mass psychosis is the most dangerous. During a mass psychosis madness becomes the norm in a society and delusionary beliefs spread like a contagion. But as delusions can take many forms, and as madness can manifest in countless ways, the specific manner in which a mass psychosis unfolds will differ based on the historical and cultural context of the infected society. In the past, mass psychoses have led to witch hunts, genocides and even dancing manias, but in the modern era it is the mass psychosis of totalitarianism that is the greatest threat:
“Totalitarianism is the modern phenomenon of total centralized state power coupled with the obliteration of individual human rights: in the totalized state, there are those in power, and there are the objectified masses, the victims.”
Arthur Versluis, The New Inquisitions
In a totalitarian society the population is divided into two groups, the rulers and the ruled, and both groups undergo a pathological transformation. The rulers are elevated to an almost god-like status which is diametrically opposed to our nature as imperfect beings who are easily corrupted by power. The masses, on the other hand, are transformed into the dependent subjects of these pathological rulers and take on a psychologically regressed and childlike status. Hannah Arendt, one of the 20th century’s preeminent scholars of this form of rule, called totalitarianism an attempted transformation of “human nature itself”. But this attempted transformation only turns sound minds into sick minds for as the Dutch medical doctor who studied the mental effects of living under totalitarianism wrote:
“… there is in fact much that is comparable between the strange reactions of the citizens of [totalitarianism] and their culture as a whole on the one hand and the reactions of the…sick schizophrenic on the other.”
Joost Meerloo, The Rape of the Mind

PARALLELS BETWEEN GMO COVID VACCINE AND GMO CROPS – LESSONS NOT LEARNED
https://www.wakingtimes.com/parallels-between-gmo-covid-vaccine-and-gmo-crops-lessons-not-learned/
“Although gene therapy has never cured a disease across the board, it’s extraordinarily safe and effective, because we say it is.”
The COVID vaccine is a gene treatment. RNA is injected into the body, for the purpose of forcing cells to manufacture a protein. The promise? Protection against a purported virus.
The first generation of Monsanto crops followed the same pattern. Genes were injected into plants. Like a vaccine, its purpose was protection; in this case, against Monsanto’s own herbicide poison, Roundup.
The overall health of the crops and the human body were reduced. The nutritive value of the crops diminished; super-weeds on the GMO farms flourished. The huge number of adverse effects from the vaccine testify to expanding human damage.
The Monsanto genes in the plants drifted. They were found in non-GMO plants, in soil bacteria, and human gut bacteria.
The RNA in the vaccine and/or its products appear to have shed and drifted from person to person, given the large numbers of reports from unvaccinated women who, after coming into contact with vaccinated persons, experienced interrupted patterns of menstruation, bleeding, and miscarriages.
As I wrote the other day, Pfizer’s own warnings about its COVID vaccine include pregnant women coming into the proximity of vaccinated persons (“inhalation, skin contact” mentioned).
Both GMO crops and the GMO vaccine are imposed, top-down, on the population, from corporate giants who are reaping massive profits. Continuing propaganda campaigns are designed to convince famers and the general population to accept and celebrate the dangerous GMO crops and the GMO vaccine.
Governments protect and run interference for the companies who produce the GMO crops and the vaccine.
Bill Gates is an ardent supporter, publicist, and funder of GMO crops and GMO vaccines. He keeps asserting, like a psychotic baron living in a castle on top of a mountain, that the crops and the vaccine will save the world.
Many critics of the GMO vaccine are unaware of (or have forgotten about) the dangers of GMO crops. And many critics of GMO crops fail to realize (or are afraid to criticize) the dangers of the COVID GMO vaccine.

This paper was originally hosted on the Doctors for Covid Ethics Medium account, but the platform censored the expert group and removed the paper, claiming the post was “under investigation”:
https://off-guardian.org/2021/05/05/covid-vaccines-necessity-efficacy-and-safety/
An archived version is still available here.
Abstract: COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers have been exempted from legal liability for vaccine-induced harm. It is therefore in the interests of all those authorising, enforcing and administering COVID-19 vaccinations to understand the evidence regarding the risks and benefits of these vaccines, since liability for harm will fall on them.
In short, the available evidence and science indicate that COVID-19 vaccines are unnecessary, ineffective and unsafe.
Necessity: Immunocompetent individuals are protected against SARS-CoV-2 by cellular immunity. Vaccinating low-risk groups is therefore unnecessary. For immunocompromised individuals who do fall ill with COVID-19 there is a range of medical treatments that have been proven safe and effective. Vaccinating the vulnerable is therefore equally unnecessary. Both immunocompetent and vulnerable groups are better protected against variants of SARS-CoV-2 by naturally acquired immunity and by medication than by vaccination.
Efficacy: Covid-19 vaccines lack a viable mechanism of action against SARS-CoV-2 infection of the airways. Induction of antibodies cannot prevent infection by an agent such as SARS-CoV-2 that invades through the respiratory tract. Moreover, none of the vaccine trials have provided any evidence that vaccination prevents transmission of the infection by vaccinated individuals; urging vaccination to “protect others” therefore has no basis in fact.
Safety: The vaccines are dangerous to both healthy individuals and those with pre-existing chronic disease, for reasons such as the following: risk of lethal and non-lethal disruptions of blood clotting including bleeding disorders, thrombosis in the brain, stroke and heart attack; autoimmune and allergic reactions; antibody-dependent enhancement of disease; and vaccine impurities due to rushed manufacturing and unregulated production standards.
The risk-benefit calculus is therefore clear: the experimental vaccines are needless, ineffective and dangerous. Actors authorising, coercing or administering experimental COVID-19 vaccination are exposing populations and patients to serious, unnecessary, and unjustified medical risks.
Public Safety ignored Antifa, violent left-wing groups in banned terror group report
SPEAKING OF SOROS…
The Trudeau Government failed to consider any violent left-wing protest groups associated with urban riots and bombings when compiling its annual list of banned terrorist groups, True North has learned.
According to a new document exclusively obtained by True North, the Department of Public Safety did not provide any records to the Minister on a long list of Antifa-affiliated groups who operate in Canada.
Antifa is a violent far-left movement whose followers organize riots and openly call for violence against anyone they believe is a “fascist” — a broad and ill-defined classification that has included veterans, police officers, security guards, military personnel, store owners, journalists, conservatives, Trump supporters and anyone who isn’t adequately woke.
Antifa members have been arrested in cities across North America and Europe for the destruction of property, arson, uttering threats, assault, incitement and even murder.
The group dubs itself “anti-racist” and “anti-fascist,” and because they occupy the far-left end of the political spectrum, they often fly under the radar and do not receive the same attention and condemnation from journalists, academics and politicians as violent groups on the far-right.
As for the Trudeau Liberals, records show that Antifa and its violent rallies are not even worth studying.
An access to information request asked the government to “provide any memos, briefing notes, policy briefs and other similar documents provided to the Minister relating to the possible placement of the following groups on the Criminal Code list of terrorist entities.” The request lists more than a dozen Antifa groups that are known to operate in Canada.
“A thorough search was conducted and Public Safety Canada was unable to locate any records responding to your request,” wrote a manager with Access to Information and Privacy in response to the request.
One of the groups listed in the request, Résistance Internationaliste, claimed responsibility for a number of bombings between 2004 and 2010, with targets including an oil and gas executive in Montreal and a Canadian Forces recruitment centre in Trois-Rivières.
Another group, Hamilton Against Fascism, has been involved in a number of violent attacks that have led to many arrests. In late 2018, ring-leader Cedar Hopperton pleaded guilty to mischief over $5,000 and counseling to commit mischief after he led a riot that caused significant property damage.
Hopperton was described as the “ringleader” of a group of some 40 masked anarchists who attended what they described as a “militant and confrontational march.”
Likewise, the group Toronto Against Fascism has been linked to violent rallies, including one outside a Munk Debate at Roy Thomson Hall in November 2018. According to Toronto Police, 12 people were arrested during that rally after police officers were assaulted. “One officer hit with a stick, another punched in the face,” noted a tweet from Toronto Police Operations.
Several other Antifa affiliated groups, including Youth Liberation Front, Redneck Revolt Socialist Rifle Association and By Any Means Necessary, all have a long rap sheet of violence at their street marches in the U.S., and yet, none were examined by the Minister of Public Safety.
The Trudeau government has been accused of politicizing the terrorist watch list, first removing the term “Sikh extremists” so as not to offend Khalistani activists in the Liberal base, and then going even further to remove the terms “Sunni” and “Shia” when describing radical Islamist terror groups.
Trudeau’s terrorist report included a large section on “right-wing extremism,” but does not so much as mention “left-wing” groups — this despite the growing menace of Antifa and violent left-wing urban riots.
Canada lost 207,000 jobs in April: StatsCan
https://tnc.news/2021/05/07/canada-lost-207000-jobs-in-april-statscan/
Canada lost a total 207,000 jobs last month as increased lockdowns in multiple provinces pushed many out of the workforce.
According to Statistics Canada’s monthly Labour Force Survey published on Friday, nearly half a million Canadians either lost their jobs or faced reduced hours in April.
“Employment fell by 207,000 (-1.1%) in April and the unemployment rate rose 0.6 percentage points to 8.1%,” the agency wrote.
“Employment declined in both full-time (-129,000; -0.8%) and part-time (-78,000; -2.3%) work. The number of employed people working less than half their usual hours increased by 288,000 (+27.2%).”
StatsCan attributes the decline in employment to increased lockdowns, primarily in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia.
In early April, the Ford government issued a provincewide stay-at-home order and forced all non-essential businesses to close indoor business. Similar restrictions in Quebec and BC put many people out of work.
“The majority of the April employment decline occurred in Ontario and British Columbia, in industries most affected by the recent tightening of public health restrictions.”
The vast majority of jobs lost were in three industries which were heavily affected by lockdowns, namely retail trade (-84,000), accommodation and food services (-59,000) and information, culture and recreation (-26,000).
StatsCan also notes that as of January 2021, there were 20,000 fewer active businesses in Canada compared with a year earlier. Similar to the April Labour Force Survey, the largest declines were seen in food services and recreation.

Amazon to delay Prime Day in Canada due to COVID-19 situation
https://tnc.news/2021/05/07/amazon-to-delay-prime-day-in-canada-due-to-covid-19-situation/
The major online retailer Amazon will be delaying its annual Prime Day for Canada and India because of the dire COVID-19 situation in both countries.
According to CNBC, Amazon will be hitting the pause button on the savings event and has yet to reveal when it will resume.
Prime Day is a sales event which allows Amazon users to experience the company’s Prime shipping services. Amazon has been doing the event annually since 2015.
As a result of slow vaccination roll outs and some provinces experiencing a harsh third wave of COVID-19, Canada was skipped over for this year’s deals.
Meanwhile, other countries like the US, Germany, France and China will be allowed to partake in the event in June.
Last year, Amazon delayed its Prime Day event until October 2020.
Critics have accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of mishandling Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout, leading to the country lagging behind its international partners in re-opening.
“We are in the third wave of this pandemic, so severe because of the Prime Minister’s failure to secure vaccines at a rate the United States was at months ago. Exceeding targets by stealing vaccines from the developing world is shameful leadership by the Prime Minister,” said Conservative Party Leader Erin O’Toole on April 20th.
Trudeau has defended his government’s handling of the situation, claiming that he had no regrets on Canada’s pace despite trailing behind other nations.
“No, not in terms of our vaccine rollout. Obviously, we worked extremely hard from last summer onwards to sign many different contracts with different potential vaccine makers around the world,” Trudeau said.
“In general, the vaccines have been arriving in Canada in steadily increasing numbers.”
According to government data, as of April 30, 2021, only 2.55% of Canada’s population has been fully vaccinated with two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The Conservatives have accused the Liberals of botching the plan by only pre-ordering vaccines from the Chinese state-connected firm CanSino Biologics, while many other nations were developing their own vaccines.

“Let Us Breathe” mural at Calgary art park removed because it could “cause harm”
https://www.rebelnews.com/let_us_breathe_mural_at_calgary_art_park_removed_because_it_could_cause_harm
A mural with a message aimed at ending the masking of children has been painted over, just days after its completion.
The image, featured in the containR Art Park in Calgary, Alberta, depicted a young girl alongside an owl carrying away a now commonly-seen blue surgical mask emblazoned with the words “Let Us Breathe” written on it.
Created by artist Elena Bushan, the piece drew the ire of those on social media in vehement support of widespread mask usage.
“People are telling me I have no heart, I don't care about elders,” Busha, an immigrant from the former Soviet republic of Moldova said in a story featured in the Calgary Herald. “My father nearly died from COVID in Europe. I'm not anti-mask or anti-vaccine. I am a mother of two kids and I am worried about children.”
Referring to a recent report from McMaster Children's Hospital that found a tripling of attempted suicides by youth over a four-month period, Bushan said that children's “mental health is deteriorating… they are breaking.”
In response, the artistic director and executive producer of Springboard Performance, the company that manages the containR park, suggested that the piece Bushan created was different from the design first proposed and approved.
“I saw [in the preview] a way we're all coming out of COVID, health in a garden and finding new ways of growth,” Springboard Performance's Nicole Mion said. “That is very different than language specific to one group's opinion about whether COVID is real, what masks do or do not and what vaccines do or not.”
Explaining why the mural had to be removed, Mion said that she was “a big believer in supporting lots of different arts and opinions,” but that in this instance “art that is dangerous is beyond the scope of what the not-for-profit people of Springboard believe in and what we do at containR.” Because she couldn't “guarantee that the mural could do no harm,” that meant it had to be removed.
A common place for art depicting various movements and issues over its 12-year history, the containR park had no qualms hosting a Black Lives Matter mural, despite numerous instances of those protests turning violent.
Rebel News previously reported on a controversy in Calgary surrounding a Black Lives Matter mural that was set prominently in the city. That art project was moved to the Chinatown district in the city.
“If the disagreement can cause harm,” Mion explained, “ethically, we can't support that.”
Bushan, however, did acknowledge that the initial proposal was slightly different from the final result, where she chose to add on the “Let Us Breathe” message to raise awareness of the difficulties children have faced during the lengthy period of restrictions placed on them. Bushan pointed toward artistic license in her defence.
“They said I can be freely expressing myself… I don't want to get into a conflict with containR. I appreciate everything they do,” she said.
Bushan offered to rectify the situation by offering to return her commission and painting over the apparently offensive message. Mion, however, said there was no remedy, and that the piece would “always represent something else.”
Having been 10 when her former homeland was plunged into civil war, Bushan described growing up in a society where the population was fearful of sharing their opinions.
Bushan worries that “we're damaging a whole generation,” adding that “not all kids are resilient. I carried my childhood trauma with me my whole life.”
“It's just a mural, it's just a painting.”
Facing threats from authorities, Pastor Artur takes church back to the street
https://www.rebelnews.com/facing_threats_from_authorities_pastor_artur_takes_church_back_to_the_street
A roaring lion and a gentle shepherd
Many have been trying to paint a picture of Pastor Artur Pawlowski as a perpetual instigator, a radical and a generally hostile man. If you were to believe everything you read about Artur in the mainstream media, as I am ashamed to confess I did for several years, you might assume the very worst about the man.
In the now numerous conversations and interviews I have shared with Pastor Art, I must admit that I should never have judged the man without meeting him. He is not a sound bite or a viral video, he is a human being, and I dare say a rather good one.
Make no mistake, Artur can be an absolute force of nature when he feels his flock is under attack. He is uncompromising in his mission to feed Calgary’s neediest residents; he has been feeding them for years without fail. Pastor Art has worked in prison ministry and with underprivileged communities in Kenya. He has served as pastor to many, and time and time again we hear stories of the great consolation and leadership he has offered to his congregants. If Artur Pawlowski is as bad as they say, he is certainly going through a lot of trouble to indicate the contrary.
Pastor Artur is not afraid of being arrested; it is a cross he is willing to bear without hesitation. Throughout his entire ministry he has faced opposition and never backed down. Even when the authorities issued unprecedented orders waiving Criminal Code section 176.2 to allow for Pastor Artur to be hauled away during worship, he showed up to worship. He was not afraid.
Now the church building in which he worships has been targeted by Alberta Health Services.
Pastor Artur’s instinct is to fight, but the reality is that other groups, including a school and daycare in the building, will suffer if it is locked down. He is not willing to allow others to be collateral damage in his fight for freedom. Artur has, out of deep respect and love for the people who share his place of worship, decided to move worship back to his roots… back to the street.
‘Apostasy’: Gay ‘pride’ flag to fly over Toronto Catholic schools
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/apostasy-gay-pride-flag-to-fly-over-toronto-catholic-schools
TORONTO, May 7, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) voted last night to declare June “Pride Month” and to fly the homosexual rainbow “Pride” flag at all schools within the board for the entire month of June in defiance of Catholic moral teaching that warns against the spiritual dangers of homosexual behavior and in defiance of the local Archbishop’s directives on the matter.
“With this vote, the TCDSB stepped into apostasy. It is no longer Catholic,” Jack Fonseca of Canada’s pro-life and pro-family organization Campaign Life Coalition told LifeSiteNews.
“Watching the trustees debate last night, I couldn’t believe that I was witnessing an official arm of the Roman Catholic Church agree to celebrate sexual sin. It was horrifying,” he added.
The vote comes in the wake of the TCDSB’s newly-established “2SLGBTQ+ Advisory Committee” recommending that the board proclaim June as Pride month and that the Pride flag be raised “at the Catholic Education Centre and at all schools in the system.”
Declaring June as Pride month “implores us to be compassionate, welcoming, and inclusive of marginalized people, including 2SLGBTQ+, as an example of our faith in action,” the pro-LGBT Committee stated in a report submitted to the board for the meeting last night.
The recommendations passed 7-5. Delegations at the meeting — which ended about 2 a.m. — included former Ontario Premier and current MPP Kathleen Wynne, a lesbian who as former Education Minister a decade ago was responsible for launching the pro-homosexual Equity and Inclusive Education (EIE) strategy that encouraged school boards to participate in Gay Pride parades, use texts by homosexual authors, and introduce into schools gay-straight alliance clubs. Pro-homosexual Toronto City Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam also made a delegation.

Canadian March for Life will forge ahead next week, despite lockdowns
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadian-march-for-life-will-forge-ahead-next-week-despite-lockdowns
OTTAWA, Ontario, May 7, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Despite COVID-19 restrictions still in place, organizers of Canada’s 2021 March for Life say that given “the urgency” of addressing the human rights “injustices of abortion and euthanasia,” they will forge ahead with an in-person rally and march in Ottawa on May 13.
“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,” stated Canada’s National March for Life in a statement. “Given both the urgency and importance of addressing the human rights injustices of abortion and euthanasia, we are choosing to exercise this right in as safe and prudential a manner as possible.”
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.
CLC says that along with the in-person rally and march, there is a “full program of virtual events” to be held between May 9 and 16.
The in-person rally will start at 12:30 p.m. EST on May 13, on the steps of Canada’s Parliament Hill in Ottawa, with the march planned to start at 1:15 p.m.
The march will return to Parliament Hill at around 2 p.m. for “Silent No More Awareness Testimonies.”
Debbie Duval, National Capital Organizer for CLC, said in a May 5 statement that at its core, the National March for Life “is a protest against the greatest human rights injustice of our age” — abortion and euthanasia — and because of this, “we have a duty to hold our legislators to account.”
The March for Life has advised all of those who choose to come to the in-person rally 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 event organizers in a statement. “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 March for Life has asked people not to attend if they are feeling ill, suspects they might have COVID-19, or have recently arrived from out of country.
The organizers say they have made this request for the “sake of fellow attendees (some of whom may be elderly), and the sake of the organizers, namely Campaign Life Coalition, and our ability to hold future marches.”
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.

Pfizer Applies for Full FDA Approval of Coronavirus Vaccine
U.S. News & World Report reported:
Pfizer and BioNTech on Friday became the first companies to apply to the Food and Drug Administration for full approval of their coronavirus vaccine.
The companies announced they had initiated a rolling submission of a biologics license application with the FDA for the approval of their vaccine in people aged 16 and older. The companies will submit supporting data on a rolling basis for consideration in the coming weeks, with a request for priority review.
Reported Vaccine Injuries Continue to Climb, Pfizer Seeks Full Approval for COVID Vaccine
The Defender reported:
The number of reports of injuries and deaths following COVID vaccines continues to rise, according to data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The data comes directly from reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date, usually about a week prior to the release date. Today’s data show that between Dec. 14, 2020 and April 30, a total of 157,277 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 3,837 deaths — an increase of 293 over the previous week — and 16,014 serious injuries, up 2,467 since last week.
CDC Changes Rules for Counting Breakthrough Cases, as More Fully Vaccinated People Test Positive
The Defender reported:
As more reports surface of breakthrough COVID cases, in and outside the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today said it will change how breakthrough cases are reported, effective May 14.
According to a statement on the CDC’s website, the agency said to help “maximize the quality of the data collected on cases of greatest clinical and public health importance” it will stop reporting weekly COVID breakthrough infections unless they result in hospitalization or death.
The news followed another change, announced late last month, in how PCR tests should be administered to the fully vaccinated.
Both changes will result in lower overall numbers of reports of breakthrough cases in the U.S.
Less Than a Third of Parents Say They’d Let Their Child Get COVID-19 Vaccine Right Away, Survey Finds
CNN reported:
As COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers try to get their shots authorized for younger children in the US, less than a third of parents say they would get their child vaccinated as soon as it is authorized for their age group, a survey reveals.
About 29% of parents of children under age 18 said they would get their child vaccinated “right away” as soon as the child was eligible, according to Kaiser Family Foundation COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor data published Thursday.
An additional 32% said they would wait to see how the vaccine is working before getting their child inoculated. The remaining parents said either that their child would be vaccinated only if their school requires it (15%) or definitely wouldn’t be vaccinated (19%), according to KFF.
Health Officials Hope to Vaccinate Kids at School, Increase Outreach in Hesitant Communities
3WKTR reported:
As vaccine supply outpaces demand, health officials are getting creative to combat vaccine hesitancy.
They’re leaning on local pastors to instill faith in the vaccine and hope to get more shots in arms of children soon.
“We used our church bus to circulate throughout the community to announce that we were offering the vaccines, and we were providing rides for people we needed to come to the church to get their vaccine,” said Bishop Dwight Riddick of Gethsemane Baptist Church.
In Norfolk, Faith Deliverance Christian Center says it garnered a tremendous response from walk-ins at their vaccination clinics with the help of volunteers holding signs up outside letting people know shots were available to the public.

IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT IS ON JANSSEN’S (Johnson & Johnson) PRODUCT INSERT …. Here Is A Chemist Showing Us What Is On The Product Insert Of Janssen’s Covid19 Vaccine.
https://breaking-news.ca/in-case-you-are-wondering-what-is-on-janssens-johnson-johnson-product-insert-here-is-a-chemist-showing-us-what-is-on-the-product-insert-of-janssens-covid19-vaccine/
IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT IS ON JANSSEN’S (Johnson & Johnson) PRODUCT INSERT ….
Here is a chemist showing us what is on the product insert of Janssen’s Covid19 vaccine. It’s very informative (sic).
Intentionally Blank.
Drugs HAVE to have the insert BUT drugs without normal FDA approval cannot have the insert.
Trials don’t complete until 2023, so until then only blank inserts will be in the boxes.
If you take the vaccine you are part of the trials/experiment.
If you don’t take the vaccine you are the control group.
The law. You must include the ingredients in a vaccine package insert to give the recipients “informed consent” under medical policy and procedure, not to mention the “Nuremberg Code”.
Without that info, TAKE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
