DEVELOPING JUNG’S “IMAGINATION FOR EVIL” IS THE DOORWAY TO OUR LIGHT

https://www.wakingtimes.com/developing-jungs-imagination-for-evil-is-the-doorway-to-our-light/

We live in a time of the emergence of great darkness in our world. The great doctor of the soul C. G. Jung, who came up with the idea of the existence of the shadow within the human psyche, had deeply valuable insights into the nature of the psychological situation in the world today, particularly the role that the darkness of the shadow plays in our modern world. Jung felt that the catastrophic evil that is manifesting in our world today is an archetypical expression of the process of humanity’s transition from one epoch—and state of consciousness—to another. He was of the opinion that the fate of the world literally depended upon the recognition of the shadow elements within us and their assimilation into a more expanded sense of self that includes both our light and dark aspects.

What we don’t accept in ourselves, but rather, exclude from our self-image and push into the shadows of netherworld of the unconscious—thereby depriving it of light—becomes toxic. These repressed shadowy contents build up a charge in the unconscious, becoming contaminated with archaic archetypal energies from the collective unconscious. It is truly frightening how many of us are so out of touch with our own shadow that we can easily become unconscious instruments through which archetypal evil, which lies hidden within the dark side of the human psyche, can act itself out through us into the world.

We still go on thinking that we are “simplex and not duplex,” to use Jung’s words. We thus imagine ourselves to be “innocuous, reasonable and humane.” We don’t deny that terrible things are happening, but since we regard ourselves as harmless, Jung points out, “it is always ‘the others’ who do them.” When we are not in touch with the potential evil that dwells within us, we project it outside of ourselves in a futile attempt to disown it, thereby falling prey to and unknowingly acting out in the external world the very evil that we are turning away from within ourselves. Evil thrives on our turning a blind eye towards it.

To quote Jung, “Evil today has become a visible Great Power…. We stand face to face with the terrible question of evil and do not even know what is before us, let alone what to pit against it.” Most ordinary, psychologically and/or spiritually under-developed people have trouble even imagining the utter depravity of the evil that can potentially play itself out through individuals or groups (not to mention through themselves) who are taken over by the will-to-power of the shadow. In order to develop a sense of how to deal with evil, however, we first have to try and understand the nature of the beast with which we are dealing.

The first principle of psychological method is that any phenomenon to be understood must be sympathetically imagined. No syndrome can be truly dislodged from its cursed condition until we first move imagination into its heart. One of the most crucially important steps in dealing with evil is, according to Jung, to develop what he calls an “imagination for evil.” If we can’t imagine the evil that human beings are potentially capable of—and of which we ourselves, under the right circumstances, could also be capable of—in our naivety, we offer ourselves into evil’s hands. If evil escapes the reach of our imagination, it will dictate, enforce and establish dominion over us, both within our imagination and in our concrete lives. Because our imagination can help us get a handle on evil, evil tries to stifle and ultimately destroy the imagination, which is why mobilizing the creative imagination is crucial in dealing with the powers of darkness.

It is no longer a “conspiracy theory” that mandatory vaccinations are becoming a reality for millions of people all around the world as the Covid-19(84) nightmare continues to reveal itself to be all about control and very little to do with health. NYC is the first US state to mandate vaccines for indoor activities like eating at a restaurant or working out at a gym but it doesn’t stop there, Denver is also doing this as well as France and 15 other European countries not to mention the big tech conglomerates like FaceBook, Google and Twitter are also getting in on the fascism. In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth covers the latest mandatory vaccine news that is once again vindicating everything we’ve been saying here at Press For Truth for the past 1.5 years!

Calgary doc who claims ‘no ties’ to Alberta NDP has donated nearly $20,000 to party

https://tnc.news/2021/08/04/calgary-doc-who-claims-no-ties-to-alberta-ndp-has-donated-nearly-20000-to-party/

An outspoken Calgary doctor and frequent media go-to who has called on Albertans to topple the UCP government for lifting COVID-19 restrictions claims that he has no affiliation with the rival Alberta NDP despite donating nearly $20,000 to that party since 2014.

In a tweet, Dr. Joe Vipond urged Albertans to “take to the streets” to take down Premier Jason Kenney’s government in response to the province’s decision to lift mandatory COVID-19 quarantines and other public health restrictions. Vipond also called for a “general strike.”

A “general strike” is a mass mobilization of workers in a community. Such a display would involve most public sectors and could deprive Albertans of health, education, care for children and seniors, social supports, and other government programs, just as the province begins to recover from a devastating year of lockdowns.

Vipond also demanded Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw resign for her role in lifting the restrictions.

“It’s quite evident now that public health is not actually putting in policies to protect the health of the public. I think this is a travesty, and I think she should resign,” said Vipond during a protest earlier this week.

Alberta elections finance data shows that a Joe and/or Joseph Vipond living in Calgary, Alberta has contributed $19,387.50 to the Alberta NDP in the last seven years.

Vipond’s contributions include an $8,000 donation to a 2015 NDP campaign and another $4,000 campaign contribution in 2019. Vipond also made regular annual donations to the NDP ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 every year from 2014 to 2019.

When asked for comment, Vipond told True North that he had “no ties” to the NDP despite the tens of thousands in contributions.

“I have no ties with the NDP other than past donations. As a strong supporter of climate action, I felt it was my duty as citizen (sic) to support a party that acknowledges and acts on the climate crisis,” Vipond told True North.

Media outlets like CTV News, CBC and Global News have all quoted Vipond as a medical expert in response to the Alberta government’s changes without making any reference to his extensive political contributions to the NDP.

True North reached out to UCP Executive Director of Communications and Planning Brock Harrison for comment on Vipond’s political contributions.

“All Albertans are able to participate in the political process, and that includes donating to their party of choice. Nearly $20,000 in partisan political donations to the Alberta NDP speaks for itself. Readers can draw their own conclusions,” Harrison said in an emailed statement.

“Membership in a political party is not publicly disclosed, so we can’t speculate on whether an individual is an NDP member. Only the NDP would be able to confirm that.”

On Twitter, Vipond has vehemently denied any claims that he is an NDP activist or has ties to the party.

“Reference for me being a NDP activist doctor plz? Thanks for that. Otherwise this might be considered slander, if not true,” said Vipond in an Aug. 3 Twitter reply.

“I am an independent practitioner with no ties to the NDP. If you have evidence to the contrary, feel free to produce it,” he also tweeted earlier that day.

CBC advertising revenue down 18% last year

https://tnc.news/2021/08/04/cbc-advertising-revenue-down-18-last-year/

Canada’s state broadcaster lost 18% in ad revenue last year and is seeking to find “additional funding” to offset the loss.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the CBC Corporate Plan Summary 2021-2025 noted the network’s cash flow struggles.

“Advertising revenue from conventional TV will continue to be under pressure,” wrote CBC management.

The CBC also noted that “without additional funding, program spending in future years will have to be reduced to match available resources and some services will have to be reduced.”

CBC receives $1.2 billion a year in taxpayer dollars annually, which is its main source of income. Last year, the broadcaster reported a $204.8 million decline in advertising revenues when compared to the year prior.

In their plan, the CBC bet on a surge in revenues from the Tokyo Olympics but it has yet to be seen whether the network’s dwindling viewership has matched its hopes.

“The projections are based on a series of assumptions pertaining to key factors, e.g. the economy, media industry, rules and regulations, that are difficult to predict and are beyond our control,” the plan claimed.

“Any changes to these factors may cause actual results to differ from the projections over the planning period.”

In recent years, CBC has struggled with dwindling viewership and retaining a sizable audience. Last year, it was revealed that in 2019 CBC-TV viewership fell below 4% for the first time in history.

Although the CBC’s popularity and financial viability continues to fall into the gutter, the Trudeau government has indicated that it may increase “funding support” for the ailing network.

An April 20 briefing note titled Funding Support For The CBC, claimed that the government had concerns about the “immense pressure” on the broadcaster’s finances.

Toronto Blue Jays “national interest exemption” latest COVID hypocrisy

https://www.rebelnews.com/toronto_blue_jays_national_interest_exemption_latest_covid_hypocrisy

Last Friday, the Toronto Blue Jays played their unofficial home opener, in that they actually got to play a home game in Hogtown as opposed to Florida or Buffalo.

As the team’s website triumphantly notes: “After nearly two years away, the Toronto Blue Jays are finally coming home to Canada beginning July 30. The club was granted a National Interest Exemption by the federal government that will allow Major League Baseball games to be played at Rogers Centre, with robust health and safety protocols in place.”

Who knew that America’s favourite pastime was so important in Canada that it would qualify for a “national interest exemption”?

And, say, what is a “national interest exemption” in the first place?

Well, according to the federal government, such an order exempts “a foreign national whose presence in Canada, in the opinion of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship or the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, is in the national interest. National interest considerations used to overcome the travel restrictions pertain to why the person should exceptionally and immediately be allowed to board a flight bound for Canada or enter Canada. For example, business visitors travelling to contribute to Canada’s critical infrastructure may be considered to be in the national interest.”

And, um, professional baseball players…

So, in other words, money talks and B.S. walks.

If you are a multimillionaire baseball player playing ball for a multi-billion dollar conglomerate such as Rogers Communications Inc., those COVID quarantine hotel rules do not apply. But if you’re just a regular tax-paying citizen who has the temerity to cross the border, make sure you pony up some big bucks in order to stay at the local Motel Hell upon landing back in Canada.

Then again, as Karl Malden used to say in those old American Express commercials: “Membership has its privileges.” And if you are an elite pro athlete, you are amongst the most privileged on the planet. Which reminds us of another chestnut, this one from George Orwell’s Animal Farm: 'All animals are created equal but some animals (for example, Blue Jays) are more equal than others.'

SkyDome still serves as cautionary tale of government-funded mega projects

https://www.rebelnews.com/skydome_still_serves_as_cautionary_tale_of_government_funded_mega_projects

Why is it that whenever governments or government agencies get involved in mega-projects, there can be no other outcome than a financial sinkhole? How is it that when these edifices are unveiled, they are almost always boondoggles, as opposed to bonanzas?

Such is the case with SkyDome. We recently dropped by the ballpark to report on the Toronto Blue Jays receiving a “National Interest Exemption,” which exempts the players from following COVID-19 travelling protocols (Bread & Circuses provision, we presume) so that they can play their home games in Toronto again.

Maybe baseball fans were giddy about seeing their beloved blue birds playing ball in Hogtown again last Friday, after an almost two-year absence, but for us, the mere sight of the SkyDome causes fiscal indigestion.

Here’s the skinny on this white elephant: when ground broke to build SkyDome in the late ’80s, it was supposed to cost $150 million. By the time it opened on June 3, 1989, the off-the-lot price was $570 million. Please note: most of the funding came via — surprise! — the taxpayer.

But there is a twist to this sordid stadium saga: some how, some way, Robbers — er, I mean, Rogers — was able to purchase this ballpark in 2004. The price: $25 million (in other words, 4 per cent of the original 1989 construction costs.) Fancy that: SkyDome was the only piece of downtown Toronto real estate to depreciate by some 96 per cent over the course of 15 years!

To add insult to injury, SkyDome was promptly renamed as the Rogers Centre (which makes it sound like a shopping mall rather than a stadium). And after company founder Ted Rogers passed away in 2008, somebody thought it would be a good idea to erect a statue of Negative Option Billing Ted in front of the ballpark, his smirk barely concealed.

Gee, where are the statue tear-down mobs when you really need them?

People Versus Predators pushing for legislative changes to better protect kids

https://www.rebelnews.com/people_versus_predators_pushing_for_legislative_changes_to_better_protect_kids

Over the August long weekend in Alberta, the People Versus Predators Association was working hard to make legislative changes to the bail system to keep kids safe and keep predators away from schools and playgrounds.

We first met Mike Meilleur and Cheri Easton last year, when we documented the work they are doing to keep kids and communities safe and informed through People Versus Predators (PvP). Nearly every weekend, Mike, Cheri and the other PvP volunteers are doing community awareness sessions, children’s self-defence sessions and giving communities a voice in the bail system through petitions.

PvP collects in person signatures in affected neighbourhoods when they find out an accused or recidivist sex offender has been released into a given area. They then take these signatures as evidence of community concerns — a tertiary consideration in Alberta bail hearings — and submit them to Crown prosecutors asking for amendments to the conditions of release for accused sex offenders. And they have had some real successes in keeping suspected offenders behind bars and away from places where kids may congregate.

But for Cheri and Mike, the community petitions are only a stopgap measure to an immediate problem. They want real legislative change that requires escalating mentoring for offenders and mandatory restrictions on how close offenders can be to schools, playgrounds and daycares. Getting federal legislative change means another petition — this time nationwide. But unfortunately, like their community petitions, PvP needs to collect these signatures in person, and they need volunteers and resources to do so.

Mike and Cheri are largely self funded, both working two jobs to keep their fight to protect kids going. The perverse irony is that because they want to change laws to protect victims, PvP is labelled a lobby group. Because of that, they do not qualify for the same tax benefits as civil liberties groups, which advocate for offenders’ rights and lighter sentences.

The legal system is not only stacked against the victim, but also against those who champion the victim.

Cuban protesters call for end of Communist regime (and mainstream media lies about it)

https://www.rebelnews.com/cuban_protesters_call_for_end_of_communist_regime_and_mainstream_media_lies_about_it

The Cuban people have long suffered at the hands of their country’s authoritarian communist regime, the heads of which, whether the Castros or current president Miguel Díaz-Canel, have lived like kings while the people barely scrape by.

After decades of abuse, people have had enough, and by mid-July the largest anti-government protests in 25 years were taking place on the streets of Cuba. These protests riled the passions of Cubans and their supporters, who rallied in solidarity around the world. The message of the protesters was simple: down with the regime.

Liberal media outlets were quick to whitewash and repurpose the protests. By the time they shared the story, they insisted that these were anti-American embargo protests and protests demanding COVID vaccines. This is shameful misinformation, and to put it bluntly… propaganda. Progressive journalists were echoing the talking points of the Cuban regime, instead of reporting the facts.

It takes courage to stand against a totalitarian regime. That sort of courage should be given a platform. Instead, we’ve seen media outlets in Canada categorically fail these freedom-loving Cubans. So many people come to Canada seeking freedom (and freedom of the press). Imagine the heartache and hurt that Cuban expats experience upon seeing Canadian media regurgitating the state-sponsored lies they were subjected to for decades in Cuba.

I was joined by Liz Marrero, an organizer of the pro-Cuban protests in Calgary. Liz lived in Cuba for the first 17 years of her life, and told us the real story of what is happening in her motherland. We discussed why state-funded media cannot be trusted, and the startling emergence of some of the totalitarian trends she grew up with in Cuba right here in Canada. She offered invaluable insight into the realities Cubans face, from food and medicine shortages to Orwellian thought control and political imprisonment.

We want Liz and her fellow freedom-loving Cuban compatriots to know that Rebel News will continue to tell their side of the story, free of spin or governmental influence, just as it should be.

Viva Cuba Libre!

“Nothing makes sense”: Manitoba man fired for attending lockdown protest

https://www.rebelnews.com/nothing_makes_sense_manitoba_man_fired_for_attending_lockdown_protest

Ryan Johnston is yet another victim of the "health and safety" regulations here in Canada. Over the past year and a half, protests of all sorts have been seen across the country, from Black Lives Matter to pro-Palestine rallies. But most notably, those who participate in protests that go against government dictum, i.e. pro-freedom and anti-lockdown protests, seem to have been selectively targeted by the government for enforcement.

And as Ryan found out recently, by employers too.

After attending the Worldwide Freedom Rally in Winnipeg, Manitoba Ryan was contacted by his employer, who requested to know if he had been at the event. Because Ryan is an honest man, he gave an honest answer: he was there, and he was proud of it. This didn't bode well for his former employer HyLife, who promptly took action against him. It started as a two week suspension without pay, and later devolved into Ryan leaving the company that once put food on his table.

The difficult situation here is that even though HyLife is able to have policies on workplace health and safety, it most certainly should be applying punishment equally for those who break their rules. Unfortunately, as we heard from Ryan himself, there are many at the company who flout the rules, as long as they know they can get away with it, much like Ryan’s former supervisor who initiated the disciplinary actions against him. Allegedly, this same person was also having birthday parties against company guidance.

We reached out to HyLife to get their side of the story, but unfortunately, so far, they've decided not to get back to us. Stay tuned as political oppression continues to escalate here in Canada, and remember we will continue to update you as new information comes out.

Election Readiness

https://tnc.news/2021/08/04/election-readiness/

After two years of criticizing Justin Trudeau’s government for being corrupt, fiscally irresponsible, and reckless, the Conservatives are now saying it’s too risky to have an election during a pandemic, and that Trudeau should focus his efforts on leading Canadians through the so-called “fourth wave.” True North’s Andrew Lawton says the Conservatives are either scared of losing or have bought into the COVID alarmism. Also, Andrew exposes a Trudeau-appointed senator’s history of pushing for online speech restrictions.

NDP faces heat from Atlantica Party for promoting “rent-control government intervention cliché”

https://tnc.news/2021/08/04/ndp-faces-heat-from-atlantica-party-for-promoting-rent-control-government-intervention-cliche/

The Nova Scotia NDP will introduce permanent rent controls and build 1000 new affordable housing units in four years at an annual cost of $39.6 million.

The NDP received immediate pushback from Atlantica Party (AP) leader Jonathan Dean who told True North, “it is depressing but not surprising to see [the NDP] trot out the old-fashioned rent-control government intervention cliché.”

The announcement came in an August 3 media release in which the NDP criticized the Liberals for building “fewer than 200 new affordable housing units and…eliminating temporary rent controls leaving people vulnerable to skyrocketing rent increases.”

The NDP’s housing promise is an integral part of their campaign for the upcoming August 17 provincial election. A recent poll conducted by Mainstreet research found that the NDP has 22% support, behind the Progressive Conservatives (30.3%) and Liberals (42.4%).

Nova Scotia NDP leader Gary Burrill claimed that “rent control is the best solution to ensure people can stay in their homes while supply increases.” Dean disagrees, saying that “Mr. Burrill’s statement is contradictory since rent control destroys supply, supply will not increase and upward pressure on rents will be greater. If you own a packet of land, why build affordable housing or rental units if rent control exists to limit your profits and create hassles with bad renters? Better to build condos or something else. Where is the supply increase?”

Halifax’s current vacancy rate of 1.9% is the second-lowest of all Canada’s major cities. Fraser Institute Economist Livio Di Matteo explained in 2019 that the two main reasons Canadian would-be renters are facing low vacancy rates is because of “rising demand and tight supply. And rent controls only exacerbate the situation.”

Rent control “is good for politicians, good for current renters and bad for everyone else, especially people needing accommodation – it is a typical lazy political position that is bad for Nova Scotia overall – this is the type of bad political decision-making we want to eliminate,” said Dean.

AP worries that the artificial nature of affordable housing and rent control leads to problems such as saddling “landlords with unreasonable regulations.” AP instead advocates for a “common sense approach to affordable housing.”

“If there is a shortage of rental units and affordable housing, then AP will press cities to alter the municipal codes, so it is profitable to build them,” said Dean. He wants to “get the free market involved…simplify building codes, make rental codes more owner-friendly, encourage more private ownership, allow very low-cost mini-apartments, semi-dorm style living, pod sleepers, and very tiny homes, lower municipal charges and taxes.”

O’Toole slams UN organization for inciting anti-Semitism following report

https://tnc.news/2021/08/04/otoole-slams-un-organization-for-inciting-anti-semitism-following-report/

Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole blasted the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) as “appalling” following a report by UN Watch which claimed that over 100 officials with the organization promoted anti-Semitic content.

“This report is appalling. As Conservatives have been saying for months, UNRWA needs to address this recurring problem in their schools and remove employees who incite anti-Semitism and hate against Jews. This cannot be allowed to continue,” tweeted O’Toole on Wednesday.

UNRWA describes itself as a humanitarian organization that provides access to education, health care and other services for Palestinian refugees. The organization has faced repeat accusations of anti-Semitism in the past with regard to its educational curriculum.

According to UN Watch’s report which is titled Beyond the Textbooks, the NGO discovered 113 “instances of incitement” against Jews by teachers and staff, some of which celebrate and promote anti-Semitic violence.

Among some of the most egregious examples of Jew-hatred by UNRWA include a Gaza math teacher Nahed Sharawi “who shared a video of Adolf Hitler with inspirational quotes to “enrich and enlighten your thoughts and minds.”

“Sharawi also posted classical anti-Semitism depicting Jews as scheming thieves,” the report writes.

Another UNRWA West Bank teacher posted anti-Semitic conspiracies which depicted “that Jews control the world, created the coronavirus and seek to destroy Islam.”

According to official UNRWA policy, the organization has a zero-tolerance for racism and discrimination.

“Around the world, educators who incite hate and violence are removed, yet UNRWA, despite proclaiming zero tolerance for incitement, knowingly and systematically employs purveyors of terror and anti-Jewish hate,” UN Watch director Hillel Neuer said in a statement on the report.

“We call on the governments that fund UNWRA to take action to stop the vicious cycle of generations being taught to hate and violently attack Jews.”

In 2018, US President Trump cut nearly $300 million in planned funding for UNRWA after finding the operation “irredeemably flawed.”

In comparison, over the past year, the Trudeau Liberals have committed upwards to $90 million to scandal-ridden organization.

Majority of Canadians oppose transgender athletes in women’s sports

https://tnc.news/2021/08/05/majority-of-canadians-oppose-transgender-athletes-in-womens-sports/

With the Tokyo Olympics in full swing, the debate surrounding transgender athletes has heated up to an all-time high but according to a recent poll, it’s clear Canadians oppose the participation of male-born transgender athletes in women’s sports.

This finding comes from a new poll commissioned by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI).

According to the poll, 56% of respondents believe it is “right” for men and women to compete separately from each other. 18% believe it is “wrong” that there are separate gender categories.

Further, 62% of Canadians believe it is “unfair” for transgender athletes who were born male to compete in women’s sport events whereas 15% believe it is “fair.”

The MLI poll was analyzed by Canadian pollster Conrad Winn. Winn believes governments and decision makers need to pay close attention to the findings of this poll.

“Governments do countless things that affect lives – from health and military spending to taxation and roads. But there are few things that resonate with the average person more than sports, sex, and gender,” said Winn.

“Sports administrators and government leaders need to pay attention to polls that reflect what people may care about. These opinion research findings are worth considering as policy leaders search for the right answers.”

In an MLI webinar regarding the poll, University of Manchester Developmental Biologist Emma Hilton said that “females need a protective sports category because quite frankly, without a protective category, females wouldn’t win anything.”

“There are tens, hundreds of thousands of physical differences between males and females and obviously these lead to functional and performance differences,” said Hilton. “These performance differences create athletic gaps. Males can run 10% faster, they can jump 20% longer, they can throw 50% further, they can lift 65% heavier, and they can punch 160% harder than females can.”

In the Tokyo Olympics, the first-ever transgender Olympic athlete Laurel Hubbard competed in weightllifting. Hubbard is biologically male, identifies as a female and was able to compete against other women.

Would you invite some who is unvaccinated to your house? Quebecers weigh in

https://www.rebelnews.com/would_you_invite_some_who_is_unvaccinated_to_your_house

I went to a small town called Sainte-Thérèse, near Montreal, where a protest against public health measures and Quebec’s vaccine passport was taking place.

According to a young college student from this city, schools are producing temporary classrooms in order to distance schoolchildren by two meters apart, in addition to masking requirements, in order to allow them to have in person classes this fall.

‘Pro-choice’ protesters were also present to support freedom of choice in whether to get vaccinated or not get vaccinated. This freedom is unfortunately threatened by the probability of a vaccine passport.

During the rally, I took the opportunity to ask people that I met, other than the protesters, what they thought of these pro-choice activists.

I asked them a simple question: would you invite someone who is unvaccinated over to your home for dinner?

A simple question that reveals a lot about people.

This video shows what I managed to collect during that day.

Kids Who Had Mild/Asymptomatic COVID Still Have Antibodies Months Later

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/kids-who-had-mildasymptomatic-covid-still-have-antibodies-months-later

Researchers have found robust antibody responses up to four months after infection in children and adolescents who had mild to asymptomatic cases of COVID-19.

The study found that the children and adolescents who previously had COVID-19 developed antibody responses capable of neutralizing the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Further, these responses were comparable or superior to those observed in adults.

“The study shows that children who’ve had mild infections or even those who did not have any symptoms, develop an immune response that will likely provide some protection against future infections,” said co-lead author Jillian Hurst, assistant professor in the pediatrics department at Duke University School of Medicine.

The researchers evaluated the SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses in 69 children and adolescents, with ages ranging from 2 months old to 21 years old. The median age of participants was 11.5 years, and 51 percent were female.

The researchers measured antibody responses among children and adolescents with asymptomatic and mild symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and found that the antibody response didn’t differ based on the presence of symptoms, and SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies remained detectable in the majority of participants up to four months after infection.

The researchers also compared the children’s immune responses to those of adults. They found that all children, regardless of age group, had equivalent or slightly higher levels of antibodies than adults at two months and four months after acute infection.

“Most studies of the immune responses of children to SARS-CoV-2 have focused on patients hospitalized for severe COVID-19 or multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), or have assessed immunity only during acute infection,” Fouda said.

“Our study provides important information that SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses, regardless of disease severity, may decline over time more slowly in children and adolescents.”

The study of 69 children appears in JCI Insight.

The study received funding from the Duke University School of Medicine; the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Office of Research and Development; the National Institutes of Health; the U.S. Defense Advanced Projects Agency; and Virology Quality Assurance. COVID-19 samples were processed at the Duke Regional Biocontainment Laboratory, which received partial support for construction from NIH.

Global House Price Boom Broadest Since Dot Com

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/global-house-price-boom-broadest-dot-com

Soaring home prices across dozens of countries covered by the OECD are booming in one of the broadest rallies in two decades amid record central bank stimuli resulting in low-interest rates inflating global real estate markets, according to an analysis by the Financial Times.

Central banks continue their crisis support of buying mortgage bonds to suppress rates to inflate real estate further. In the first quarter of this year, only three countries out of the 40 countries covered by OECD data experienced real-term home price declines - the smallest portion since the Dot Com era in 2000.

A combination of low-interest rates, savings accumulated during lockdowns, and the migration to rural communities fueled the broadest house price boom in two decades.

Claudio Borio, head of the monetary and economic department at the Bank for International Settlements, said house price growth could be "a good thing for the economy because people who already own homes feel richer and they can spend more due to the valuation of their assets."

Borio warned if prices continue to trend higher, the boom could become "unsustainable" and eventually be thrown "into reverse." This brings up worsening financial stability concerns as the threat of a pullback lingers if the Federal Reserve is forced to taper or announce tapering in the near term.

OECD annual house price growth recorded 9.4% - the fastest in three decades for the first quarter.

Deniz Igan, deputy chief of the macro-financial division in the IMF's research department, said most markets in the northern hemisphere experienced "strong house price growth over the past year." In April, US housing prices increased at their fastest rate since the early 1990s.

Home prices are on the rise across OECD countries. Some of the most robust growth was observed in the UK, South Korea, New Zealand, Canada, and Turkey.

Borio explains that housing prices are booming because of "extremely accommodating financial conditions" via central banks that have resulted in record-low interest rates. Lower borrowing costs make homes more affordable to buyers.

Across the OECD, mortgage rates have fallen to near-zero.

At the same time, people cooped up in their homes for a year led to decrease spending and a boost in savings. Compound that with low-interest rates and remote work, it led to a perfect combination of urban flight.

Also, the lack of supply, as explained by Mathias Pleissner, an economist at the rating agency Scope Ratings, "amplified" housing prices. He also said the surge in commodity prices was another factor.

This all comes as the cost of homes in OECD countries have become the least affordable since 2007. The gauge of housing affordability is the average of house price-to-income and house price-to-rent indexes.

So what can derail the central-bank-induced housing boom? Well, a pullback in emergency stimuli would be unsettling for markets and send property prices lower. Also, the flood of housing supply can force the market frenzy to take a breather.

Laughter in the Face Of Tyranny

Dylan Eleven | Truth11.com | August 5, 2021

Laughter in the face of tyranny, not because the threat of police beating civilians is not real, that’s not the joke. Laughter in the face of tyranny because their cause, orders, moral stance, stupidity, lack of back bone, their obvious lies that stand up to no logic or real science is laughable.

As the person in this video points out while making fun of riot police; “the police are wearing masks for our protection while they beat us with batons.”

It is time for the police to stand with the people because we know the truth and you look fucking stupid over there protecting liars and genocidal politicians.

If you were actually doing your job you would be arresting these criminals who have killed and will kill millions more. Yet you stand their protecting them and the lie of Covid.

It is time for the police to join with the people because you are people too, you are helping murder your neighbours for a satanic genocidal government. Wake the fuck up.

‘This is a battle between Our Lord and the devil’: Doctor-nun slams forced vaccines, communism

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/this-is-a-battle-between-our-lord-and-the-devil-doctor-nun-slams-forced-vaccines-communism/

Sister Deirde Byrne, M.D., a retired U.S. Army officer and graduate of Georgetown University’s School of Medicine, said the push to force everyone to receive abortion-tainted COVID-19 shots ‘has a diabolic flavor to it.’

WASHINGTON D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Religious sister, general surgeon, and U.S. Army veteran Sister Deirde Byrne, M.D. took the nation by storm last year when she appeared at the Republican National Convention in full religious habit to give a stirring pro-life address while wielding her weapon: the rosary.

Now Byrne’s message for America is to pray and remain in a state of grace in the face of experimental COVID-19 vaccine mandates and a government she fears is headed toward communism.

“This battle is not between the right and the left, it’s not between conservatives and liberals or Republicans and Democrats,” the retired Army colonel, who spoke at today’s “Stop the Shot” conference, told LifeSiteNews in an exclusive interview.

She added that “this is a battle between Our Lord and the devil,” and warned that everyone must choose a side.

After having earned her M.D. from Georgetown University and serving as an officer with the U.S. Army Medical Corps, Byrne fulfilled her religious vocation by becoming a sister with the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts in Washington, D.C.

Sister Byrne holds a board certification in family medicine and general surgery and is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. She currently serves as the medical director of the Little Workers’ Physical Therapy and Eye Clinic and is a volunteer surgeon for the Catholic Charities Medical Clinic in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of D.C.

Byrne, whose military service took her to Korea and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, and who worked as a missionary surgeon in Haiti, Sudan, Kenya, and Iraq, told LifeSite that “common sense” preventive measures and therapeutic drugs can sharply reduce hospitalizations and deaths for patients with COVID-19.

“If we treat them early – early is the ticket – with ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine,” Byrne said, “80% of the people will not have to go to the hospital.”

But Byrne lamented that the treatments have been largely ignored in favor of experimental “vaccines” which have become increasingly mandated.

“That’s the shame of it all, that because this is an emergency mandate of vaccination, they’re trying to push it on everybody,” Byrne said, noting that emergency vaccination would only be necessary if there were a lack of effective therapeutics.

“We have therapy, and it’s proven therapy, and the powers-that-be, the government leaders here in the states, are ignoring this data.”

Byrne said that at the start of the pandemic she became aware that people were being sent home after getting a positive COVID-19 test without being directed to safe and effective drugs to prevent serious illness.

“As things started to unfold people started to reach out to me and tell me they were sick. I said, ‘well, are you on any treatment?’”

When her patients said they were not taking any treatments, Byrne said she “got them started.”

“I just said, ‘let’s get going on this,’” she said. “So we just sort of take the bull by the horns, and if a patient comes in and we have a therapy, we give it to them.”

But Byrne, whose medical clout includes having provided emergency care to war-torn Kurdistan with the Global Surgical and Medical Support Group, a non-profit founded to bring medical care to conflict zones across the world, has not been able to say much about her successes.

Despite her experience with the efficacy of common, safe therapeutics, Byrne told LifeSite that COVID patients treated at her clinic must be assisted “on the side without making a lot of noise about it.”

She mentioned that hydroxychloroquine, a safe drug routinely used as a prophylaxis for malaria and found useful for early treatment of COVID-19, has been restricted by some government leaders like New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

According to Byrne, “These governmental officials are making medical decisions [for] people, not allowing them to make their own decision about hydroxychloroquine, which is such a benign drug.”

When the treatments provided by Byrne and her fellow doctors and nurses have made patients well, Byrne said, “We just smiled when we saw the person getting better.”

With consistent success with early treatment using safe and effective drugs, Byrne said the focus on experimental COVID-19 “vaccines,” developed or tested using aborted fetal tissue, to the exclusion of proven therapeutics, has “a bit of a diabolic flavor to it.” Continue…

Bill Gates: ‘I’ve Never Understood Being Against Masks as Strongly as Some People Are’

https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/08/04/bill-gates-ive-never-understood-being-against-masks-as-strongly-as-some-people-are/

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said Wednesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that he does not understand why people object to wearing face masks.

Cooper said, “Yesterday, President Biden made a plea to some Republican governors. He said, ‘I say to these governors, please help, but if you aren’t going to help, at least get out of the way for people to do the right thing. Use your power to save lives.’ When you look at the state of Florida that is experiencing such a surge right now, the governor there signed an executive order that threatened to pull funding from schools that implement mask mandates. Does that make sense to you, especially for children under 12 years old?”

Gates said, “I’ve never understood being against masks as strongly as some people are. If you look at all the measures where there’s a certain cost to every one of these measures, and there’s a certain benefit in terms of saving lives and preventing diseases, I think wearing masks is one of the lowest cost and highest benefit things in this whole picture. ”

He added, “You know, no one wants schools to be closed in the fall. I think if we get vaccine levels up and wear masks in a lot of indoor situations where you have a meaningful amount of COVID, I think we will be able to run schools and have most businesses open. I think the value to that is incredible. So we’re caught, you know, where in some cases it’s the states that have the loosest mandates will pay the highest price.”

Ontario Place v2 looks good on paper, but why the secrecy surrounding costs?

https://www.rebelnews.com/ontario_place_v2_looks_good_on_paper_but_why_the_secrecy_surrounding_costs

There’s nothing like waterfront property. So, leave it to the government to lose money on a theme park situated on Lake Ontario.

Case in point: when Ontario Place first opened in 1971 it was a gem. The park attracted millions of visitors every year to enjoy all the low-cost and even free attractions. Anyone who grew up in the Greater Toronto Area in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s undoubtedly has fond memories.

But because this is a government-run park, it eventually fell into deep neglect (what happened to the once iconic Children’s Village is nothing short of scandalous). And after years of financial losses, Ontario Place was more or less shuttered by 2012.

Yet, last week, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a grandiose new development plan for what has become the “mistake by the lake.” Three private companies will be investing some $500 million to build water slides, an adventure park, botanical gardens, and to revamp the concert venue. It was also announced that Ontario Place would morph into a year-round attraction.

While it “looks good on paper,” as the saying goes, we are concerned about what taxpayers will need to kick in to make this revitalization a reality (after all, a government-funded mega project results in fiscal disaster more often than not).

Yet, surprisingly, Premier Ford was evasive when it came to offering up such nitty-gritty details pertaining to public funding. How odd. Isn’t this the individual who, along with his late, great brother Rob, ran under the brilliant slogan of “Respect for Taxpayers”? Where is that respect now that Toronto City Councillor Doug Ford has become Ontario Premier Doug Ford?

Something else that is odd is the timeline for this rebuild. At the earliest, the new Ontario Place will be open in 2027, but more likely it won’t be ready until 2030. Why should it take so long? Especially given that much of the infrastructure, such as the Cinesphere, the Pods and the Budweiser Stage are already built and only require renovations?

Yet again, government proves that it moves at the speed of molasses going uphill in the wintertime. And should costs spiral out of control, the mindset seems to be “just put it on the tab” — the taxpayer tab, that is…

Three health care pros speak out: Two vaccine free, one vaccine INJURED!

https://www.rebelnews.com/bonnie_henry_british_columbia_medical_professionals_speak_out_covid_vaccines

In a recent interview, British Columbia’s Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry said she has “very little patience for people who are not immunized in health care.”

The political Health Lord has gone from in 2020, commending frontline healthcare professionals who unlike her, cared directly for patients with COVID-19, to publicly shaming the ones who disagree with her medical opinion on receiving an injection of a novel vaccine, that is still only approved for emergency use.

And that’s not even all Dr. Henry said that was disturbing. After expressing what little tolerance she has for health professionals who exercise their freedom of choice and bodily autonomy, she proceeded to threaten such workers with a ‘take-the-vaccine-or-else’ ultimatum.

“It is a choice to be immunized, but there are consequences for those who are not immunized,” Henry stated with a straight face, as though punishing those who don’t take a vaccine is normal and something citizens voted into place. Henry went on to use examples such as masking in certain settings and getting tested regularly, but didn’t clearly outline whether or not the invasive PCR test that the CDC has recently called to be phased out will be used, and if there will be more “consequences” she mentioned for such healthcare workers.

Henry’s ultimatum is quite the flip-flop from the outcome of a recent case she was involved in, where the courts ruled that nurses in B.C. will no longer be forced to wear a mask or take the flu vaccine, but rather could rely on their own professional judgment.

So what is the professional judgment of Dr. Bonnie Henry on frontline healthcare workers who don’t agree with being punished for choosing not to take a new jab that’s been linked to at least 10 times more severe allergic reactions than the flu shot?

Watch this full report to hear about just that from two B.C.-based medical professionals who are COVID jab free, and one respiratory therapist from California named Danee Dixon, who says she is suffering from a severe vaccine injury after taking the Pfizer vaccination.

If you want to help prevent Canada from becoming a place where political doctors like Bonnie Henry and bureaucrats like Justin Trudeau normalize the segregation and punishment of citizens based on their vaccination status, please help us make our petition at NoVaxPassport.com the most effective petition we’ve ever done, by signing it and sending it to at least five more people.

“Families need to be heard” | Fixing Canada's long-term care crisis with Kathy Pearsall

https://www.rebelnews.com/families_need_to_be_heard_fixing_canadas_long_term_care_crisis_with_kathy_pearsall

Broken — the word used by advocates to describe the publicly funded, largely privately delivered long-term care sector in Canada.

The interviewee that I’m bringing you today, Kathy Pearsall, is no stranger to this system. Kathy wrote a book at the end of 2020 called Broken: Long-Term Care in Canada, which outlines the problems in long-term care.

Kathy witnessed directly how suboptimal the care that her father received in a for-profit care home was, and has been a seniors advocate ever since — continuing this work for 20 years after her own father passed away. The decades old issues surrounding the long-term care sector in Canada have also been exacerbated by the pandemic.

Residents in long-term care are vulnerable. Families of seniors long for a safe place for their aging loved ones to call home to live out the last few years of their life. But they are not told about the factory-style, assembly-line care.

As an independent journalist, Kathy is affiliated with the Canada-wide advocacy group called Hands of Hope. They have outlined national regulations that they would like to see legislated in order to begin to repair the issues occurring in long-term care.

In this interview, Kathy delves into the proposed national regulations that she wants to see enforced and legislated at the federal level. The following is a brief summary:

WORKFORCE – maximum staffing ratio of 1:4 care provider to resident; hire full time and permanent part time staff; increase management credentials and experience requirements; in-house menu planning.

EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – Standardized training; revised curriculum for workers to include resident rights, dementia care, etc; build teams of collaborators between care providers; eliminate online training.

FAMILY INVOLVEMENT – Family invited to advise and partake in direct care/life enrichment; legislate advisory councils.

LIFE ENRICHMENT – “Recreation staff” to be re-named “life enrichment” staff; all day activity not to be limited/time slotted; individualized care; continuity of care.

WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION – protection from employer reprisal.

INSPECTIONS – Annual inspections and handling of complaints conducted by autonomous agency separate from government; inspection teams have long-term care experience & empowered to conduct investigations at all levels; inspectors respond to concerns of advisory councils.

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY – Random financial audits conducted annually by auditor general, w/ full public disclosure; families and advocacy groups have right to obtain financial statements, annual staffing plans; supplier contracts tendered and made public.

PENALTIES – Governments must immediately penalize bad actors through financial means and/or removal of license; publicly disclosed.

PHASE OUT FOR-PROFIT CARE – Cap profits at five per cent of annual revenues; limit annual management salary raises to rates of inflation; enable not-for-profit and municipal operators to fairly compete with for-profit operators for licenses.

LEVY: Government-subsidized “affordable” housing is not the least bit affordable

https://tnc.news/2021/08/05/levy-government-subsidized-affordable-housing-is-not-the-least-bit-affordable/

In the past six months, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has handed over hundreds of millions of dollars in affordable housing money to Toronto with no checks and balances.

The two announcements – Jan. 15 and July 29 – gave Toronto $335-million in Rapid Housing Initiative money for 773 “affordable homes.”

In reality, they will be mostly tiny modular housing units of 325-square-feet lumped together in a multi-residential building.

Simple math puts each “affordable home” at $433,376 just to construct, which does not include the dollars needed to provide supports such as harm reduction, mental health, wellness and employment counselling – facts not mentioned by federal minister Ahmed Hussein, Toronto MP Adam Vaughan or Mayor John Tory at the two highly promoted announcements.

Government-subsidized “affordable” housing, as I’ve been saying for years, is not the least bit affordable – especially for taxpayers.

But there’s something even worse than tossing barrels of money at Canada’s largest city prior to an election call–with seemingly no fiscal oversight.

The Rapid Housing Initiative (RHI) program mandates that the homes be constructed within 12 months. On the surface, that seems like a good way to make sure the city (which operates at a snail’s pace) gets things done.

But it’s not the least bit fiscally efficient.

As has repeatedly occurred since the program was announced, the bureaucrats have used the tight timelines to sole-source the work as well as to overpay for buildings and for the construction itself.

The official mantra is that city officials had no choice but to sole-source the services required because of the “emergency” due to COVID. They continually maintain that COVID has left people without housing even though more than $200-million has also been spent housing people in fancy hotels like the Novotel on the Esplanade.

Take the first 99 units of modular housing built in downtown Toronto and in Scarborough late in 2020. City officials claimed they needed to sole-source the job to Horizon North – based in Vancouver, B.C. – because of pressures from COVID and the need for immediate housing.

Abi Bond, executive director of Toronto’s housing secretariat, came to Toronto from Vancouver in early 2019, where Horizon North was used for their modular housing builds.

As I quickly found out there were other Ontario suppliers who could have built the same pre-fab units at 2.5 times less the cost. At 350-square-feet, Horizon North’s off-the-shelf design cost taxpayers $600 per square foot.

But excuses were just that — excuses. After a tendering process lasting much of last fall and which closed Nov. 30, city officials decided to give the second phase to NRB Modular Solutions — which is Horizon North under a new name.

One supplier said his company didn’t make the city’s Roster of Approved Service providers and was never able to find out which manufacturers made the list.

“So much for transparency in the spending on this critical, but extremely expensive, program,” he said.

Meanwhile, supposedly feeling flush from their pot of RHI funds, the city paid $94.9 million to buy an entire building at a prime location in downtown Toronto (877 Yonge St. for those who know the city) in April of this year.

The building – which tragically forced all of its senior residents out in 2019 and sat empty for more than a year– is to be converted into 252 affordable homes.

The whole transaction has been extremely secretive. Continue…

Feds give $500,000 to “revitalize” unwritten traditional First Nations laws

https://tnc.news/2021/08/05/feds-give-500000-to-revitalize-unwritten-traditional-first-nations-laws/

The federal government is giving a First Nations community $500,000 to implement unwritten, traditional laws on its territory.

Justice Minister David Lametti gave the Shuswap nation near Kamloops on Aug. 3, to “celebrate (the) efforts and revitalize (the) legal traditions of the Indigenous community.”

The grant will “implement Secwepemc laws in the Shuswap Nation” and promote “the practical application of Secwepemc legal traditions pertaining to lands, natural resources and citizenship,” said a Department of Justice statement.

It seems unclear how these laws will be enforced since Tribal Chief Wayne Christian told reporters that the laws were not written down. Christian claims the laws are “embedded” in Indigenous “oral history” and “written in the land.”

“Governance of the territory was done not in a hierarchical sort of top-down approach,” Christian said. “It was done based on our family groupings, and our families rule the land and govern the territory and manage the territory, the animals, the fish, everything, through that process. So, when we talk of governance, what we’re really talking about is our families.”

Support for this project goes together with the Government of Canada’s response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) Call to Action 50. In Budget 2019, the government first announced $10 million to promote Indigenous law initiatives across Canada over five years.

In Budget 2021, the government again pledged further support, spending $18 million over five years to Indigenous law initiatives and $4 million to revive the Law Commission of Canada, an independent body that gives law reform guidance to the government.

“We need to reconstruct who we are as a people and how we can embed our legal traditions as part of the process,” Christian said.

The 2007 implementation of the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People has begun to “open up that door to really identify that Canada is a tri-judicial country,” according to Christian.

Toronto to ban Indigenous-themed sports team names for non-Indigenous people

https://tnc.news/2021/08/05/toronto-to-ban-indigenous-themed-sports-team-names-for-non-indigenous-people/

On August 10th, Toronto Parks, Forestry & Recreation (PFR) will propose to ban all sports teams from using “Indigenous-themed logos and team names” by “non-Indigenous users” in city facilities.

In a presentation to the city’s Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee, PFR Interim Director of Client & Business Services Kevin Carr says the move is in line with directives by the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC).

“To promote a positive and inclusive experience in City of Toronto facilities and to protect the dignity and well-being of Indigenous communities, the City of Toronto prohibits the display of any Indigenous-themed images or names by non-Indigenous user groups, and discourages the display of Indigenous-themed names or images on team uniforms and personal belongings by non-Indigenous users,” a proposed “next steps” clause reads.

As an example of two team names identified as “being of concern” for Indigenous content were the High Park Braves and the Willowdale Blackhawks. According to Carr, both teams have changed their names to Toronto High Park Little League and the Willowdale Hawks, respectively.

“As of July 2021, there are no Indigenous-themed images or names being used by non-Indigenous user groups in PFR sports facilities,” writes Carr.

True North reached out to the City of Toronto for comment on what threshold officials would use to consider an organization to be “non-Indigenous users” and received the following reply.

“Our commitment – as stated in the report – is promoting a positive and inclusive experience in our facilities and protecting the dignity and well-being of Indigenous communities. The proposed policy change, affecting no existing Toronto teams, is a straightforward way to honour this commitment,” Toronto media relations officer Alex Burke told True North.

On May 13, 2019, the OHRC issued a letter on the so-called “harmful impact of Indigenous-themed sports logos” in city facilities.

“The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) recently intervened in an Application before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) which alleged that the use and display of Indigenous-themed logos and team names in the City of Mississauga sports arenas was discriminatory,” wrote OHRC Chief Commissioner Renu Mandhane.

“The OHRC is now contacting municipalities in Ontario to ask that they follow suit. This is in keeping with the OHRC’s mandate to identify, prevent, and eliminate discrimination, and to promote human rights within the province using a range of powers under the Human Rights Code.”

The issue of Indigenous-themed sports names and depictions has also received international attention in the recent past. Following the widespread George Floyd protests in 2020, the Washington Redskins were forced to change their name and logo to a temporary name, the Washington Football Team, after 87 shareholders and investors pressured the organization over alleged racism.

Trudeau considering mandating vaccines for federal workers

https://tnc.news/2021/08/05/trudeau-considering-mandating-vaccines-for-federal-workers/

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government is considering making the COVID-19 vaccine mandatory for government employees and those working in federally regulated industries.

“It’s time for people to get vaccinated, and for those who are hesitant to go and get their first and second doses,” Trudeau said during a press conference with Quebec Premier François Legault on Thursday.

“That’s why I’ve asked the clerk of the Privy Council, who is responsible for the federal public service, to look at mandatory vaccinations for federal employees.”

Trudeau also said mandatory vaccines could apply to federally regulated industries such as airlines, banking and telecommunications.

This is the first time Trudeau has indicated support for a form of mandatory vaccination. While the majority of Canadians have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, approximately 20% of Canadians remain unvaccinated.

According to an Innovative Research Group poll, 60% of unvaccinated black Canadians expressed vaccine hesitancy, compared with 55% of white Canadians and 44% of non-Black visible minorities.

At the same press conference, Legault also announced that his government would be implementing vaccine passports, claiming Quebec is on the cusp of a fourth wave requiring such a response.

Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan have all rejected the idea of a vaccine passport, though Manitoba has adopted a similar program.

First Autopsy of Dead Person Vaccinated for Covid Found to Contain Spike Proteins in Every Organ of Body

https://dailyexpose.co.uk/2021/08/04/first-autopsy-of-dead-person-vaccinated-for-covid-found-to-contain-spike-proteins-in-every-organ-of-body/

Researchers from Germany conducted the world’s first-ever postmortem study on a corpse that had been vaccinated against Covid-19 prior to their death. They discovered that every single organ of the deceased person’s body had become infested with spike proteins as a result of the vaccine.

The German scientific report titled “First case of postmortem study in a patient vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2”, which was published in June 2021, examined the autopsy of an 86-year-old man who had received a single dose of the Covid-19 vaccine but died a month later after becoming infected with Coronavirus by a nearby patient at a hospital.

According to the report, the man had a medical history including systemic arterial hypertension, chronic venous insufficiency, dementia, and prostate carcinoma.

The report, which was published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, states that on January 9th, 20201, “the man received lipid nanoparticle-formulated, nucleoside-modified RNA vaccine BNT162b2 in a 30 μg dose.” Just 18 days after his dose of the vaccine, the man was admitted to the hospital for worsening diarrhea, where an “antigen test and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for SARS-CoV-2 were negative.”

However, by day 25, the vaccinated patient tested positive for Covid-19, presumably from a nearby Covid-infected patient in the hospital, and he, unfortunately, died of kidney and respiratory failure the following day.

According to the report, researchers found that the patient’s entire body had become overrun with high viral RNA loads, also known as vaccine-induced spike proteins.

The study concluded: “In summary, the results of our autopsy case study in a patient with mRNA vaccine confirm the view that by first dose of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 immunogenicity can already be induced, while sterile immunity is not adequately developed.”

In other words, whilst the Covid-19 vaccine triggered an immune response within the body, it did not seem to stop the spread of the virus throughout the body or the spike proteins that caused his organs to fail.

This bombshell study only confirms our worst fears that the Covid vaccine causes more harm than good, and may actually even accelerate the spread of the virus.

“I WASN’T SUCCESSFUL, NO I DID NOT WIN THE COURT CASE” PATRICK KING ON PRESS FOR TRUTH!

Press For Truth, 24 min.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/F6XvZCbok1SP/

Patrick King has been trending on twitter due to a viral video where it is claimed that the province of Alberta rolled back on their lockdown measures as a result of Patrick’s court proceedings and this is not true as Patrick states “I Wasn’t Successful, No I did Not Win The Court Case”. In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth speaks with Patrick King in order to clear up some discrepancies in regards to what is happening with his case.

No, one Alberta man DID NOT end the lockdown and mask mandate

https://www.rebelnews.com/no_one_alberta_man_did_not_end_the_lockdown_and_mask_mandate

A viral video has been circulating online where it is alleged an Alberta man single-handedly ended the province's lockdown and mask mandates because public health could not provide proof that COVID-19 existed.

In a classic case of something sounding too good to be true, the actual story is more complicated than a headline suggests.

On today's Rebel News DAILY Livestream, hosts David Menzies and Sheila Gunn Reid took a look at this interview, involving an appearance by Patrick King on the Stew Peters Show.

Explaining how this wasn't the silver bullet that ended Alberta's lockdowns, Sheila Gunn Reid said:

No disrespect intended, but I want to first point out the timeline of all of this here… Now if you know the masking and basically the end of our lockdown [in Alberta] was July first. This court case transpired roughly on July 19, so that Stew Peters would attribute [ending the mandates] to Pat King, I don't think is accurate or fair and Pat King's court case didn't do any of that.

But I actually took the time to read the transcript of what went down in court that day and I also read the originating documents from Alberta Health Services about what went down.

Now, in that video, Pat King says that AHS has no material evidence that COVID-19 exists. It says the chief medical officer has no material evidence and in the video he presents this as, and I don't know if this is intentional or otherwise, that means there is no evidence that COVID-19 exists.

Now, that's not the case. It may be the case, it may not be the case. But that's not what that statement means. Material, in legal jargon, means relevant evidence.

WHO IS THIS? Rebel News videographer assaulted at Calgary pro-lockdown rally

https://www.rebelnews.com/who_is_this_rebel_news_videographer_assaulted_at_calgary_pro_lockdown_rally

I was assaulted at a pro-lockdown protest last night in Calgary. Don't worry. It wasn't bad, but it's still not right. We want to hold the woman who did it accountable, but I need your help to do it. And I've got a reward for information.

The tolerant left, I find, is over-accepting in a lot of controversies. You'd think they would be against assault.

Wrong.

Time and time again, Rebel News journalists and videographers are assaulted. We are targeted with verbal abuse daily in the comments and weekly in real life, but every now and then we also get a right hook or broken equipment.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Chief Medical Officer of Health Deena Hinshaw have lifted ALL restrictions regarding the circus some like to call the Wuhan virus. Personally, I'd like to say 95 per cent of Albertans are happy about this. But it’s left a lot of COVID-Karens and Kens with nothing to do!

So for 16 days, they have been protesting asking for more testing, isolating, mask mandates and in some cases — more lockdowns. One woman was screaming at counter-protesters to go to Auschwitz, so as any cameraman would, I went to film the interaction.

She hated that.

She proceeded to get all up in my social distancing bubble and eventually swiped at me and my camera. The security guard kindly pushed her hand off, and two police officers intervened and blocked her.

Even though it was not the worst that could have happened, and maybe even a bit comical, we don't stand for such behaviour. Political tension and verbal chaos is great sometimes; I personally love to see passion on both sides as it makes for great debate.

But we aren't children anymore. We can't meet behind the school and tussle, we can't break each other’s things because we are mad, and we certainly can't get violent over politics. Or in this case, medical preferences.

We are suing to set a precedent: you can't touch Rebel News, or any news, OR anyone. Tell a friend to tell a friend — you can yell and argue all you want, but we aren't letting anyone get away with assault.

If you know this women, please go to WhoIsThis.ca and we will give you $500 for a correct name.

Toronto's nightlife reacts to possibility of COVID vaccine passports

https://www.rebelnews.com/torontos_nightlife_reacts_to_possibility_of_covid_vaccine_passports

The big question on Ontarians’ minds right now is whether or not we will soon have to provide some sort of proof of vaccination to enter various large indoor events such as nightclubs, conventions and sports games.

This is becoming more and more of a possibility with places like England and New York City already starting to mandate these types of vaccination IDs.

Starting in September, England will be requiring proof of vaccination for nightclubs and other large indoor events.

In New York City, you will soon have to show similar proof of vaccination to enter venues like bars, gyms and restaurants.

It would come as no surprise if Ontario were to implement similar rules in the near future.

With only speculation and nothing yet confirmed, we wanted to find to out how the people of Toronto feel about the matter.

With nightlife slowly returning to the city, we took our questions to King Street in downtown Toronto on a Friday night to find out.

“We weren't just heathens at contact”: Tsuut’ina Nation discuss their Christian faith

https://www.rebelnews.com/_we_weren_t_just_heathens_at_contact_tsuut_ina_nation_discuss_their_christian_faith

Politicians and social media celebrities were quick to condemn Canada’s residential school program when, over the past year, mass grave sites were discovered across this country. They were right to do so — what happened at the residential schools is a tragic injustice. Yet regrettably, aside from the occasional Trudeau photoshoot or a seemingly sympathetic tweet, I suspect that the memory of this tragedy shall fade and become for many just another of the seemingly endless woke social media trends that came and went. To me, this would be unacceptable.

From the beginning, the conversation surrounding residential schools lacked the precision and sensitivity required to address such a delicate subject. First Nations people have repeatedly told us that they have known about these graves for years, that they know that many in the graves sadly died of tuberculosis or other disease outbreaks. They also know all too well, often firsthand, the extent of the abuses that took place in residential schools. Their stories are nuanced and authentic. They are real. They do not reduce these tragedies to talking points or statistics.

The aggressive and politicized dialogue reverberating throughout social media and society is not coming from First Nations communities. Many have suggested that the conversation was deliberately divisive, and contrary to the spirit of truth and reconciliation. Simply put, for many, the politicization of this tragedy dishonoured the children who died.

Despite the troubled history of residential schools, many First Nations people are deeply faithful. Their Christian faith is an intimate part of their day to day life. It is in fact a vital part of their healing process.

The divisive conversation, which so often excludes or overrides First Nation voices, has also contributed to the arson and vandalism of 53 churches to date across Canada. Many of the places of worship affected are located on First Nations territories — it is the First Nations people of faith who are suffering. The rhetoric of privileged politicians and pundits is once again trampling on the way of life for First Nations people.

I was humbled to have been invited to Tsuut’ina Nation by Ruby Starlight, who I met recently at the Elbow River Camp to learn about their culture, traditions and history. Ruby's grandfather, Dick Starlight, helped build the church we visited, and her uncle Bruce Starlight also shared about his experience of the residential schools and some history about the church.

Politicians need to condemn the acts of arson and vandalism that have taken place at over 50 churches across Canada as hate crimes. If you agree, go to SaveOurChurches.ca and sign our petition today.

When the “experts” turn out to be partisan activists

https://tnc.news/2021/08/05/when-the-experts-turn-out-to-be-partisan-activists/

Time and time again we’ve been told to “trust the science” and “trust the experts.” But what happens when these so-called experts turn out to be partisan donors and wannabe politicians?

Dr. Joe Vipond has been promoted as the voice of reason by the legacy media. He pushes for more extreme lockdowns, he undermines public health recommendations when they go against his own personal opinions, and he even went as far as calling for a “general strike.”

What the legacy media isn’t telling you is that Vipond is a wealthy NDP donor. He’s likely one of their top donors.

Did anyone at the news rooms at CTV, Global and CBC bother doing a simple background check before giving this guy credibility and a huge microphone to blast his alarmism, fanaticism and authoritarian lockdown message across their airways? Or did they know he was an NDP donor this whole time?

Candice Malcolm says the legacy media doesn’t do journalism. They do activism, and they pretend their fellow activists are The Experts that you must trust and obey. Tune into The Candice Malcolm Show!

Tucker Carlson interviews Viktor Orbán in Hungary: “Bitter Contrast Between Budapest and New York City”

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/08/tucker-carlson-interviews-viktor-orban-hungary-bitter-contrast-budapest-new-york-city/

Tucker Carlson interviewed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Thursday, introducing him as the only elected leader in the world who “publicly identifies as a western-style conservative”.

“By rejecting the tenets of Neo-Liberalism, Viktor Orbán has personally offended and enraged” leaders in Washington, Carlson said. “Just a few years ago, his views would have seemed moderate and conventional. He thinks families are more important than banks. He believes countries need borders. For saying these things out loud, Orbán has been vilified. Left-wing NGOs have denounced him as a fascist, a destroyer of democracy.”

Carlson noted that President Joe Biden called Orbán a “totalitarian dictator”: “Official Washington despises Orbán so throroughly that many, including Neo-Cons in and around the State Department, are backing the open anti-Semites running against him in next April’s elections in Hungary.” (In May, Gateway Pundit was the first outlet in the US to report on the globalist campaign against Orbán.)

Tucker blasted the Fake News media depiction of Hungary as a fascist dictatorship: “Even if you understand that the American media lie, it’s always bewildering to see the extent of their dishonesty. Nothing prepares you for it. We’ve read many times how repressive Hungary is. Freedom House, an NGO in Washington funded almost exclusively by the U.S. government, describes the country as less free than South Africa, with fewer civil liberties. That’s not just wrong. It’s insane.”

Carlson contrasted the repressive atmosphere that has taken over the USA since the stolen election, the military occupation of Washington and the cleansing of wrongthink from the military and federal government, with the free and easy mood in Budapest, which just elected a Green opposition Mayor 2019:

“If you live in the United States, it is bitter to see the contrast between, say, Budapest and New York City. Let’s say you lived in a big American city and you decided to loudly and publicly attack Joe Biden’s policies, on immigration or COVID or transgender athletes. If you kept talking like that, you would likely be silenced by Joe Biden’s allies in Silicon Valley. If you kept it up, you might very well have to hire armed bodyguards. That’s common in the U.S. Ask around.”

“But it’s unknown in Hungary. Opposition figures here don’t worry they’ll be hurt for their opinions. Neither, by the way, does the Prime Minister. Orban regularly drives himself with no security. So who’s freer? In what country are you more likely to lose your job for disagreeing with ruling class orthodoxy? The answer’s pretty obvious, though if you’re an American, it’s painful to admit it, as we’ve discovered.”

Brandon Smith: We Will Not Comply - A Campaign Against Medical Tyranny

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/brandon-smith-we-will-not-comply-campaign-against-medical-tyranny

I have been feverishly writing lately on covid mandates and vaccine passports issues, and I’m sure most readers understand why – We are currently at the cusp of a great conflict against the powers that be; people who are exploiting the (mostly manufactured) covid crisis for unprecedented political and economic control. And when I say “manufactured”, I mean that there is no crisis, no need for mandates, no need for lockdowns and no need for vaccine passports.

We are dealing with a virus that around 99.7% of people will easily survive according to the medical establishment’s own studies and stats as well as numerous independent studies, yet, for some reason we are being bombarded with fear mongering from the media and from governments.

Why is the only solution being suggested to the general public involve us giving up all of our freedoms and medical autonomy? Why is 99.7% of the population supposed to lock down, mask up and submit to an experimental mRNA vaccine with no long term testing data to prove its safety? Why don’t the 0.26% of people that are truly at risk of dying from the virus simply take precautions or stay home while the rest of us get on with normal life? Hell, I would be fine with contributing to a fund to help support the 0.26% at risk, to help their families and help with their medical bills.

The Federal Reserve and other central banks burned trillions of dollars in stimulus measures and PPP loans to keep businesses from going completely bankrupt, and to keep jobless “non-essential” workers from starving during the initial shutdowns. But , we could have simply kept the economy going this entire time and paid a fraction of that cost helping the tiny minority of people that would actually suffer from the illness.

Yes, that’s right, I’ll say it again and again because I STILL to this day see the media and misinformed covid cultists continually claim the death rate of covid is much higher. It is not. The median Infection Fatality rate of covid is ONLY 0.26%. This is a FACT. This is the science according the vast majority of medical studies out there on the IFR. Let me repeat: The entire world is being locked down and told we have to give up our inherent human liberties because 0.26% of the population might get more than sniffles and brain fog from a covid infection. Why?

Well, that’s easy; because the covid response and restrictions have nothing to do with public health and everything to do with public control.

This essay is a little different from what I usually write in that it is not so much an appeal to pure reason or pure science and more an appeal to principle. I have been asked by many readers lately if it is not better to argue against pandemic mandates based on ideals and principles rather than hammering away at the science. I think it’s important to do both, but let’s take a moment to consider the moral question and the moral question alone.

To do that we must ask some simple questions:

Who has the right to control your medical decisions?

Who is qualified to control your constitutional right to life, liberty and the right to seek out prosperity?

Who should be given the power to tell you what you can say, where you can work, where you can buy, where you can sell, where you can walk, where you can travel, what you must believe in?

The answer is NO ONE, except yourself that is. Continue…

Senator Rand Paul Urges Defiance

https://www.henrymakow.org/

'''"Go outside, rip the mask off, live your life,

and ignore the dictates of tyrants like Fauci.'''

It's time to resist. They can't arrest us all."

Sen. Rand Paul Sent This to a Reader

"It's time to resist.

They can't arrest us all.

They can't keep all your kids home from school.

They can't keep every government building closed – although I've got a long list of ones they should.

We don't have to accept the mandates, lockdowns, and harmful policies of the petty tyrants and feckless bureaucrats. We can simply say "no, not again."

The only way to stop these mandates is to refuse to comply.

Refuse to show "vaccine passports."

Refuse to wear a mask.

Refuse to stay at home.

We will not comply with Fauci, we will not comply with Joe Biden, and we will not comply with authoritarian governors!

Speaker Nancy Pelosi – you will not arrest or stop me or anyone on my staff from doing our jobs.

We will not show you a passport, and we will not wear a mask.

We will not be forced into random screening and testing so you can continue your drunk with power rein over the Capitol.

I am not going to comply. This ends now!

Local bureaucrats and union bosses – we will not allow you to do more harm to our children again this year.

Children are falling behind in school, and are being harmed physical and psychologically by the tactics you have used to keep them from the classroom last year.

We won't allow it again.

If a school system attempts to keep the children from full-time, in-person school, I will hold up every bill with two amendments. One to defund them, and another to allow parents the choice of where the money goes for their child's education.

I have two requests for you. First, please join me in this fight by chipping in $100, $50, $25, or $10 immediately.

And second, please go enjoy your life to the fullest, and ignore the mandates from King Fauci and his minions.

I'm sure I will receive an enormous amount of political blowback for this stand that I'm taking, but I don't care. It's that important.

That's why I need you to be a part of this.

It's not enough for one man to take a bold stand like this – we all have to do it together.

It's never easy to put out a call for resistance against the most powerful bureaucrats in our country.

But there are certain moments in history where it's necessary.

Whatever blowback I receive from this, it's worth it to save America from tyranny.

But I do need you to stand with me.

That's why today, I have two requests for you. First, please join me by contributing $100, $50, $25, or $10 right away.

And second, go outside, rip the mask off, live your life, and ignore the dictates of tyrants like Fauci.

It's time to resist. They can't arrest us all.

In Liberty,

Rand Paul

Rand Paul, MD

P.S. The only way to defeat King Fauci and his minions is to ignore them. It's time to resist.

We don't have to accept the mandates, lockdowns, and harmful policies of the petty tyrants and feckless bureaucrats. We can simply say no.

America has suffered enough. Children have suffered enough. The time for compliance is over.

I'm sure I will receive an enormous amount of political blowback for this stand that I'm taking, but I don't care. It's that important.

I do need you to stand with me, however.

That's why, right now, I have two requests for you. First of all, please stand with me by chipping in $100, $50, $25, or $10 immediately.

And second, go out and live your life freely. Say no to King Fauci.

2 Responses to “CANADIAN REBEL CHRIS SKY ON GLOBAL MEDICAL TYRANNY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE”

Tapestry says:

It’s all about the vaccine passport. Vaccines or you’re limited to small shops and are barred from society. This is psychological warfare to force you to accept defeat for the rest of your life. A life which will be considerably shorter as a result. There will be business opportunities for the UV people needing services and supplies outside of supermarkets and so on. The elites will maintain exemptions for themselves of course.

Mick says:

I thought the same. If we get both a vaxx passport and digital currency that’ll create a black market for people banned from shopping but who’ll still need the goods. Not only will organised crime fill this vacuum but plenty of people on the make will exploit it too. Most gear won’t need to be stolen as many people with a vaxx passport will supply the goods for profit. This supply-side will create huge problems for the elite-controlled markets, and when they achieve totalitarianism I think it likely they’ll bring in life sentences and reintroduce the death penalty for the “major racketeers”.

Another thing is without cash people will create their own mediums of exchange. Not only gold and silver coin (specie) but jewellery cut into lengths, links, trinkets etc, and anything people accept has a value and will accept in exchange for goods, services or labour. They will all have a place in the new economy. This will probably include foreign currencies like the gold-backed yuan and rouble, similar to how the dollar is accepted as money in many places across the world.

Harvard professor: ‘Make the burden of being unvaccinated so high that people comply’

Strict vaccine mandates are ‘the only way forward,’ Professor Joseph Allen wrote.

(LifeSiteNews) – A Harvard University public health professor said that it’s time to stop playing nice with Americans who have chosen not to receive an experimental coronavirus vaccine.

The “only way forward,” Professor Joseph Allen says, is to require Americans to take the experimental vaccines, which have been linked to a number of serious side effects and death.

“It’s time to acknowledge what few in the public health field are willing to say: The campaign to persuade all Americans to voluntarily accept coronavirus vaccinations has hit its limit,” Allen wrote in a recent essay for the Washington Post.

“The only way out of our covid-19 morass is to mandate vaccines,” Allen argued.

Keep me updated via email on this petition and related issues. Sign this Petition

He admitted that vaccine advocates have failed to make their case, criticizing so-called “public health experts” for rarely going on right-leaning stations like Fox News or Newsmax.

“Time to get out on Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, Facebook and, yes, even Newsmax,” Allen said.

Allen also urged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to hurry up and approve the vaccine, which was already rushed through faster than other vaccinations. The coronavirus vaccines currently on the market only have Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), although Pfizer’s two-shot (for now) regimen is expected to gain full approval by fall.

“There is no reason” for the vaccines to not have full approval from the FDA, Allen argued.

He went on to claim, “These are the most studied and scrutinized vaccines in the history of the world,” despite their rushed roll-out and the fact that they have been around for less than a year, as opposed to other shots which boast decades of data and research.

“And what we know with certainty is that these vaccines have an impeccable safety record on par with every other fully authorized vaccine.”

The most recent analysis of the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database shows there have been nearly 500,000 reported reactions to or deaths from the vaccine.

“Data released [July 23, 2021] show that between Dec. 14, 2020 and July 16, 2021, a total of 491,218 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 11,405 deaths — an increase of 414 over the previous week. There were 48,385 serious injuries reported during the same time period — up 7,767 compared with the previous week,” Children’s Health Defense reported.

Professor Allen criticized unions in particular for opposing mandatory vaccines.

“This will inevitably face opposition, and, yes, that includes from unions,” Allen said. “It is absolutely appalling to see vaccination rates around the 40 to 50 percent range for unionized workers such as New York City’s police, firefighters and corrections officers, as well as 60 percent for the city’s Education Department workers.”

“Don’t want to call them ‘mandates’? That’s fine,” he continued. “Then do what MGM Resorts and the National Football League did and, instead of mandating, make the burden of being unvaccinated so high that people comply.”

Allen dismissed concerns about civil liberties.

“Why are so many people acting like this is some kind of affront to our liberties? It’s routine to get vaccines for all sorts of things,” he said.

While most American adults received a handful of vaccinations as children, for diseases such as polio, and some might receive a flu shot once a year, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) recommended vaccine schedule has dramatically grown in recent years.

By age one, an infant on the CDC vaccine schedule will have received 22 vaccine shots (some for the same disease, in vaccines that are given in a regimen). By age 18, that number is 69 shots – vaccines, often in a series, against 16 diseases.

Professor Allen has at least one ally in nearby New York City. Mayor Bill de Blasio there has required places such as restaurants and theatres to require all staff and customers to produce their medical records proving they’ve had a coronavirus vaccine.

For a self-styled progressive, de Blasio’s rule is discriminatory particularly against black New York City residents. Only 35 percent of black NYC residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine, the standard required for entry into the public places of business.

John Tory pushes for vaccine passports, mandatory vaccines

https://tnc.news/2021/08/06/john-tory-pushes-for-vaccine-passports-mandatory-vaccines/

Toronto Mayor John Tory believes the provincial government should implement a vaccine passport and mandate vaccines in certain workplaces.

Speaking to CP24, Tory said he was very concerned about the recent increase in COVID-19 cases and said the Ford government needs to act.

“The bottom line is somebody has to come up with some kind of a plan and I’ve said logically I think that’s going to have to be the province,” he said.

“We cannot afford to have a kind of a patchwork quilt of chaos where York, Durham, Peel and Toronto and different employers are doing things differently. People are going to be incredibly confused and I think that poses a danger.”

Tory believes the right path forward is to implement a similar policy as the University Health Network (UHN).

“The UHN hospital model where it says get vaccinated or get tested seems like a fair thing and gives people a choice.”

Tory also said it was “fine” that the Trudeau government may require vaccination for federally regulated industries. On Thursday, Trudeau tapped Canada’s top public servant to look into mandatory vaccinations for federal employees.

In Toronto, 81% of eligible residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. 72% are fully vaccinated.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has repeatedly said his government will not make vaccines mandatory for healthcare workers and that a vaccine passport will create a “split society.”

Canadians call upon Trudeau to publicly condemn church burnings

https://tnc.news/2021/08/06/canadians-call-upon-trudeau-to-publicly-condemn-church-burnings/

Ontarians are taking a stand against the chain of church burnings that has devastated communities across the country. Grassroots movement Civic Revival announced that they are holding an event in Mississauga this Saturday, August 7, to “Stop the Burning of Churches in Canada.”

“Vandalizing and burning places of worship have no place in Canada and must be condemned in no uncertain terms,” asserts Civic Revival. They are calling “upon the Trudeau government to publicly condemn such atrocities and to assume its responsibility of upholding the Charter Rights for all Canadians and of putting an end to such heinous attacks on churches.”

True North has been mapping the church attacks and has found that 57 Christian churches have been vandalized, burned down or desecrated since the June announcement of the discovery of apparent graves found near a residential school in BC.

While the majority of Canadians have condemned the attacks on places of worship, a number of activists, academics and prominent public figures have excused and even celebrated the church burnings and acts of vandalism.

In response to the church attacks, Trudeau said “it is real and it’s fully understandable, given the shameful history that we are all becoming more and more aware of and engaging ourselves to do better as Canadians.”

Echoing the prime minister’s remarks, former principal secretary to Trudeau, Gerald Butts, stated that the ongoing church burning “may be understandable” in response to a tweet by journalist Terry Glavin.

In response, Civic Revival has asked “concerned Canadians to rise up and ask for accountability from their government and for upholding the rule of law.”

“Not only did these attacks result in damage and destruction to ancient Catholic churches which were built some 100 and 200 years ago, but also churches that were built by more recently established immigrant communities,” wrote Civic Revival.

“One blatant example is St. George’s Coptic Orthodox Church in Surrey, British Columbia, which was burnt to the ground on Monday, July 19, 2021. Followers of the Coptic Orthodox church who emigrated to Canada from Egypt, in pursuit of the promise of equal rights, religious freedom, and the rule of law, were shocked to see their churches once again under attack.”

LEVY: The activists have occupied Toronto’s parks

https://tnc.news/2021/08/06/levy-the-activists-have-occupied-torontos-parks/

A number of public parks in Toronto have been overrun by the homeless, and the leftist politicians and activists have enabled them to do so.

While attempting to report on the current situation at Dufferin Grove Park, True North contributor Sue-Ann Levy was confronted by a group of activists who refused to allow our team to walk through the public park.

Sue-Ann says these activists just want to create a scene to portray themselves as victims.

Doctor cited as ‘expert’ by CBC never disclosed large donations to NDP

https://tnc.news/2021/08/06/doctor-cited-as-expert-by-cbc-never-disclosed-large-donations-to-ndp/

CBC has claimed that they were unaware that Calgary emergency physician Dr. Joe Vipond was an “NDP supporter” when quoting him as an expert source in numerous articles.

As exclusively reported by True North, Alberta elections finance data revealed that Dr. Vipond has donated nearly $20,000 to the Alberta NDP since 2014.

In an emailed statement, CBC Head of Public Affairs Chuck Thompson addressed Dr. Vipond’s ties.

“In the spirit of full transparency, we didn’t know he was an NDP supporter. We talked to him as a well respected medical professional (for example in the mask opinion piece) and looked to him for that advice and expertise…which is strongly backed by other doctors,” Thompson told True North.

Dr. Vipond has been a vocal and regular critic of Alberta’s ruling UCP government. In one social media post dated July 28, 2021, Dr. Vipond tweeted about “taking to the streets and toppling” Jason Kenney’s government in response to the lifting of quarantine public health orders in the province.

Most recently, Dr. Vipond called for the resignation of Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw for her role in the decision to lift the orders and has led several pro-lockdown rallies.

He has also repeatedly denied any association with the Alberta NDP, claiming that he was an “independent practitioner with no ties to the NDP” and that accusing him of being an NDP activist could be “considered slander.”

True North reached out to Dr. Vipond for comment on whether he had disclosed any of his political donations to the media when asked for his expert opinion.

“I don’t have a conflict of interest. Giving money to political parties is a part of our democracy. I would have a conflict of interest if I was receiving money,” Dr. Vipond told True North.

Dr. Vipond has been a go-to expert source by legacy media outlets like the CBC, Global News and CTV News. Despite records of his extensive contributions to the Alberta NDP being public, media outlets made no mention of his financial support for the party.

CBC News published several pieces in which Dr. Vipond was quoted as an expert and where he was only referred to as a “Calgary emergency doctor.”

One op-ed penned by Dr. Joe Vipond and two other physicians in support of masking included an author biography which only described him as “an emergency doctor and clinical associate professor at the University of Calgary.”

True North also reached out to Global News and CTV News for comment on whether Dr. Vipond’s donations to the Alberta NDP were ever disclosed but did not receive a response.

Cancel culture coming for Ontario’s provincial flag

https://www.rebelnews.com/cancel_culture_coming_for_ontarios_provincial_flag

Recently, Mano Majumdar, a lecturer at Western University’s Ivey Business School, started an online petition that seeks to change Ontario’s flag. The current one is too triggering, apparently.

His petition reads: “The best flags are distinct and inclusive. Ontario’s is neither. This petition calls on the Ontario legislature to replace the provincial flag with a more distinct and inclusive flag, chosen by democratic means.”

Majumdar was recently on London Live arguing that it’s time for Ontarians to move on from a flag that no longer accurately represents the province. Said the Offended One:

We have a lot of words being spoken about reconciliation and inclusion. If we’re not even able to take this one minor step towards making a symbolic commitment to actually having a different society, then we have no credibility when we talk about reconciliation and inclusion.

Gracious, a re-imagined provincial flag could do all that? Just curious: wouldn’t a better step regarding reconciliation be fixing the drinking water problem that exists on too many reserves?

In any event, missing from Majumdar’s lament pertaining to the Ontario flag is any suggestion vis-à-vis a replacement.

So, we had a graphic artist come up with four potential redesigns: A Spirit Rainbow Unicorn (oh so cute!); the uber-diverse Kid Power Kids (super inclusive); a slice of cherry cheesecake (a reminder for Ontarians to retreat to their basements and bake the aforementioned item at the behest of Premier Doug Ford, in case another COVID variant hits the province); and a blank white canvas (in which every Ontarian can draw their own design — or simply wave it as the white flag of surrender).

We took our concepts to Yonge-Dundas Square* in Toronto to get people to weigh in on our proposed redesigns.

(*For those keeping score in the Cancel Culture Sweepstakes, Yonge-Dundas Square is slated to be renamed in the future, given that Dundas is now apparently an offensive word…)

The good news: Majumdar’s petition is a colossal dud. At time of writing, it had garnered less than 2,300 signatures. Given that the population of Ontario is almost 15 million people, it would seem that Majumdar’s quest to reimagine the provincial flag is a fix for a problem that simply does not exist.

Trudeau's enviro office holds “Draganza” workshop (during work hours)

https://www.rebelnews.com/environment_climate_change_canada_office_draganza_workshop_pageant

The long-suffering Canadian taxpayer is paying for public sector bureaucrats to learn how to be drag queens in the middle of the work day. God help us all.

I wish I was making this up. Let’s go back a little. I saw a really weird tweet from the Treasury Board account.

Before we go any further, and keep this in mind as we digest the weird waste of money I am about to expose you to, this is how the treasury board describes itself under Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, who needed her parents to co-sign her house loan: “Effective people, policies and management of the Public Purse.”

Effective management of the public purse?

Well, I think we will all be the judge of that when we see how the treasury board spends its own budget.

I clicked on the link to the “Draganza,” so you don't have to.

It was very early in the morning, and I thought I was not seeing what I thought I was seeing, because this is wasteful even for the Liberals.

It’s a pageant, you guys. And there are actually three events.

And if this one isn't quite right for you, they have also suggested that I join the change climate pledge graffiti calligraphy workshop, which I can't even imagine.

This is extracurricular stuff that people can do on their own time, with their own money. I don't want to have to care, because I am too busy minding my own business. But now I do have to care, because I don’t want to pay for the event, or rather three events. And I don’t want them to happen literally in the middle of a government work day.

How is this the taxpayer’s problem? Why am I paying people to wear tacky makeup and clothes and perform in the middle of the work day?

Now, people noticed online.

And so the bureaucrats reacted and scrubbed the internet of their time and money-wasting drag show. Now if you click on that link, it's gone.

You just get an email address for the LGBTQ office of Environment and Climate Change Canada. Why does that email account even exist? What is the purpose of paying someone to be on the other side of that address, answering emails about sexual orientation at the Environment Ministry?

But let me tell you, that event registration was there at 7:00 a.m. MST Thursday. And I wrote this script at 12:00 p.m. the same day.

And all that is to say that apparently, their time-wasting event isn't going forward. They just don't want the people who are paying for it — you and I — to know anything about their little afternoon drag show delight.

Pro-lockdown protesters demand Alberta brings back public health restrictions

https://www.rebelnews.com/pro_lockdown_protesters_demand_alberta_brings_back_public_health_restrictions

After a year and a half of businesses going under, pastor arrests, school shutdowns and gym closures at the hands of overreaching government officials, Albertans breathed a nearly collective sigh of relief as COVID rules all but vanished in early July. Many were still apprehensive about whether that freedom would last. But the province’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Deena Hinshaw, took an unprecedented step in Canada. She designated COVID-19 as endemic, an illness that we will have to live with moving forward much like the flu, but no longer a cause for crippling restrictions. Many in Alberta were exhilarated, but surprisingly, not all.

Unbelievably, there have been protests occurring daily across the province calling for increased restrictions, masking, isolation and testing. We had hoped to drop in and ask these protesters exactly what they have in mind for Alberta moving forward, and to clarify what it was that they were protesting, but they made clear that they had no interest in talking.

We were sworn at, insulted, accosted and mocked before having a chance to ask a single question. We clearly don’t agree with what the protesters are advocating for, but as journalists, we were willing to give them an opportunity to defend their position. However, based on their conduct, I don’t suspect they are particularly comfortable attempting to justify their positions.

Perhaps the most comical part of all of this is that after telling us we weren’t welcome in the public park, telling us we aren’t journalists, lobbing profane language at us and assaulting our videographer Kian “K2” Simone to the extent that police interceded, they are still attempting to insist that they are the sympathetic and reasonable side of the argument.

Watch the video — does any of their conduct seem sympathetic or reasonable?

Without a word of apology, these people took to social media to decry us for mis-labelling the event as a pro-lockdown event, which is what they have broadly been called across social media.

For the sake of total transparency, and we learned this while in attendance at the event, some protesters were advocating for lockdowns and masking mandates, but others had more nuanced motivations. Had they expressed those perspectives rationally instead of screaming and shouting, we could have had some productive conversations. Sadly, only one person took the time to explain their motivations for attending, and while I certainly don’t agree with their perspective, I applaud them for the relative composure amidst a sea of vitriolic hatred.

We won't be bullied or chased away from covering the news, so rest assured that we will be back to cover these protests again.

Whenever we attend an event where radical progressives are expected to attend, we are now required to hire security.

Our very own Sheila Gunn Reid was assaulted by Dion Bews a few years back, and as this video shows, Kian and I were repeatedly accosted and Kian was assaulted by an unhinged pro-restriction protestor. We are looking for help identifying the woman in the video — if you recognize her go to WhoIsThis.ca.

Rebel News will follow the story wherever it takes us, but security doesn’t come cheap, if you want to help us tell the other side of the story, consider chipping in at JournalistDefenceFund.com.

Munk School handed $99,000 contract to evaluate federal leaders’ debates

https://www.rebelnews.com/munk_school_handed_99_000_contract_to_evaluate_federal_leaders_debates

The Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto was handed a sole-sourced contract by the Trudeau Liberals to deliver “expert knowledge” required by the Leaders' Debates Commission in preparation for the next federal election.

The maximum value of the contract is estimated at $99,412.00.

According to the attached justification for the sole-sourced contract, U of T's fifty years of producing the Canadian Election Study (CES) is what makes the Munk School so valuable:

The research and analysis being sought to support the Leaders' Debates Commission's report to Parliament requires expert knowledge and experience related to the study of citizen behaviour in a Canadian context.

…stakeholder consultation revealed a broad consensus that working with the CES provides access to the best source of data on the upcoming election and the ability to assess the role that leaders' debates play, in keeping with the Commission's mandate to undertake an evidence-based assessment of its debates on Canadians knowledge of political parties and their leaders.

Last November, Justin Trudeau's Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs extended the mandate of the Commission, which had banned both Rebel News and True North Centre from attending the 2019 leaders' debates as accredited journalists.

Can 300k votes restore freedom in Canada?

https://www.rebelnews.com/uniting_like_minded_canadian_voters_canadian_voters_association_launches_300k_ca

https://youtu.be/OgAS1q4tCmA

After well over a year of pro-freedom activists rallying across the country to fight for the restoration of Canada’s constitutional rights, a new group of freedom defenders is suggesting an older strategy to get the job done.

The Canadian Voters Association hopes to do just that, by launching the 300K.ca movement, led by their president, Kari Simpson. The movement aims to unite all of the individual Canadian pro-freedom groups and Canadian freedom lovers alike, empowering them to use their voice and votes to make a difference.

“We the people have the ultimate power, and that’s called our vote, and our voice, and our value as a consumer if we want to use that too,” says Simpson. It’s quite a different message from what is typically heard at many of the pro-freedom rallies we’ve covered since the pandemic was declared. And with speculation of a fall snap election being called, it could end up being a very timely message as well.

Simpson has recently been guest speaking at many freedom minded protests, where a large portion of protesters are typically skeptical of politicians and political parties. Can one really blame them for such skepticism, after seeing next to no representation of their valid concerns regarding government overreach and abundance of infringement on Canadians’ rights since the COVID-19 pandemic was declared? Aside from a handful of political leaders, such as MP and new party leader Derek Sloan, leader of the People’s Party of Canada, Maxime Bernier, and Ontario MPP Randy Hillier?

Watch this full report to hear what the 300K movement is all about, and let us know if you think 300,000 Canadian votes can restore freedom in Canada.

Rebel News has created a civil liberties charity in partnership with the Democracy Fund that has now provided over 2,000 Canadians with amazing lawyers, after they were fined, and in some cases criminally charged, for living life as normal during COVID-19.

Wuhan's 'Bat Lady' Warns Of Coming Covid-19 Mutants

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/wuhans-bat-lady-warns-coming-covid-19-mutants

Of all the people on the planet who should probably take a pass on weighing in over the future of Covid-19, the woman suspected of either creating it and/or releasing it is probably at the top of the list.

Yet, that's what just happened.

According to Chinese state media cited by the South China Morning Post, top CCP virologist Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology - also known as "Bat Lady" - says the virus will continue to mutate, and we must prepare to coexist with it.

"As the number of infected cases has just become too big, this allowed the novel coronavirus more opportunities to mutate and select. New variants will continue to emerge," said Shi, whose lab was working with a US-Funded nonprofit to make bat coronaviruses more infectious to humans.

Zhengli Shi toasts with Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance

Fear porn or legitimate concern?

Aside from the obvious value in having 'Wuhan's Bat Lady™' opine on emerging strains of the virus she's an expert in - note that she doesn't discuss how much more or less deadly new strains could be.

For example, there's no evidence that the Delta strain - while much more virulent than the original Alpha strain of Covid-19, is any deadlier.

"There's no evidence that it's more deadly," said Dr. Larry Corey, who is coordinating all of the COVID-19 vaccine research in the U.S (via King5). "There is evidence that it's more infectious and more infectious to others, i.e., more transmissible. But [is it] actually more severe? There's really not good hard evidence of that."

"Becoming more transmissible and less lethal are absolutely what’s best for the pathogen," said Troy Day, a professor of mathematics and biology at Queen's University in Canada, who has studied how infectious diseases - including coronaviruses - evolve (via AP).

That said, sometimes viruses evolve to become more deadly.

"…in many instances is never possible, to be more transmissible and also less lethal," Day added - noting that there are documented cases of animal viruses which have evolved to become more lethal over time.

Some examples of viruses that became more deadly over time include those that developed drug resistant variants, and animal viruses such as bird flu, which were harmless to humans initially but then mutated to become capable of killing people, according to Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Health Security.

"Flu viruses have developed resistance to certain antivirals that make them more difficult to treat, and therefore make them more deadly," said Adalja, noting that this has happened with HIV and certain strains of Hepatitis C.

Brace For Astronomical Shipping Costs As China Goes Into Lockdown Mode

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/brace-astronomical-shipping-costs-china-goes-lockdown-mode

With the latest weekly update of container shipping rates showing that prices - already at all time high - simply refuse to back down, as rates from China to the US surpassing a record $20,000, a new threat looms which could send already sky high prices into orbit. As the delta variant spreads on the mainland, most Chinese ports are now requiring a Covid test for all crew, with vessels forced to remain at anchor until negative results are confirmed, and requiring ships to quarantine for 14-28 days if they previously berthed in India or changed crew within 14 days of arriving.

That spells further delays, further price increases and, according to Splash, shipping will need to start to make contingency plans should China - the world’s most important nation for shipping movements - emerge as another pandemic epicenter.

The delta variant has broken through the country’s virus defences, which are some of the strictest in the world, and reached nearly half of China’s 32 provinces in just two weeks. While the overall number of infections — more than 360 so far — is still lower than Covid resurgences elsewhere, the wide spread indicates that the variant is moving quickly with many millions of Chinese now in lockdown.

“For freight markets, the implications include delays at ports as authorities screen crews of incoming vessels and a hit to China’s oil demand if widespread lockdowns are imposed,” a report from Braemar ACM pointed out this week.

When a Covid-19 outbreak was detected at Yantian Port in late May, operations at the key southern Chinese export hub were slashed by 70% for most of June. Similar disruptions are in the cards in the coming weeks, while shipyards are also likely to see their delivery schedules come under pressure if any wider lockdown measures are taken. Continue…

Quebec Becomes First Canadian Province To Introduce Vaccine Passports

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/quebec-becomes-first-canadian-province-introduce-vaccine-passports

Following in the footsteps of French President Emmanuel Macron, whose vaccine passport was yesterday upheld by France's Constitutional Court, Quebec has drawn up plans for a vaccine passport of its own.

According to France24, Quebec - Canada's second-largest province by population and its only province that's francophone, announced this week that it plans to introduce a vaccine passport, the first in Canada, to counter a fourth wave of the coronavirus and the spread of the Delta variant.

"The principle behind the vaccine passport is that people who have made the effort to get their two doses should be able to live a semi-normal life," provincial prime minister Francois Legault told a press conference.

Legault said the exact rules surrounding the passports will be revealed in the coming days, but explained that they would mostly govern access to "non-essential" activities such as dining out at a restaurant, or using the gym. NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio announce a similar program this week making NYC the only city in the US to adopt its own version of a vaccine passport.

Legault didn't offer an exact date for when the pass would go into effect. However, at this point, few adults would be affected: more than 80% of Quebec residents have received at least one dose, while more than 60% of adults have received at least one dose. However, unlike the NYC pass, which will allow those who have received at least one shot to dine indoors and work out at indoor gyms, the Quebec pass will require both shots.

"We will give certain privileges to those who have agreed to make the effort to get their two shots," Legault said.

The decision to adopt the pass comes as case numbers in Quebec have climbed recently, with the province recording more than 300 cases in a day this week, compared with roughly 100 per day in recent weeks.

While this increase is "still much lower than what we see in the United States, in most of the countries in Europe…can already talk about the beginning of a fourth wave," Legault said.

He also said the pass would help Quebec avoid another lockdown. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said he supported the decision: "I fully support the initiative of Mr Legault and the Quebec government."

As Quebecois wait to learn more about the plan, Legault didn't say anything about the potential punishments. For example, those who violate the vaccine passport rules in France could face up to 6 months in prison for the offense. Will Quebec adopt a similarly over-the-top punishment?
