“More inclusive” military to permit face tattoos, fake nails, dyed hair on soldiers

https://tnc.news/2022/04/14/more-inclusive-military-to-permit-face-tattoos-fake-nails-dyed-hair-on-soldiers/

A new draft plan by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to create a more “gender inclusive” dress code includes permitting men or women in uniform to don face tattoos, fake nails, jewelry and dyed hair while on service.

True North has exclusively obtained a presentation by the Department of National Defence titled “Canadian Armed Forces Dress Instructions proposal to reflect a more inclusive culture.”

The plan purports to be “safe, operationally effective, inclusive and reflective of societal norms and expectations.”

If adopted there would be one standard guideline for all CAF members from recruitment to release. Continue…

Canadian legacy journalists freak out over Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover bid

https://tnc.news/2022/04/15/canadian-legacy-journalists-freak-out-over-elon-musks-twitter-takeover-bid/

The Canadian legacy media is up in arms after Elon Musk announced his plan to buy the popular social media platform Twitter for $43 billion.

On Thursday it was revealed that Musk made an offer of $54.20 per share in cash, saying he hoped to unlock the “extraordinary potential” of Twitter should he own it. The offer is 38% over the price as of April 1.

The news came shortly after Musk became the largest shareholder of the company earlier this month.

Musk has been an outspoken critic of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Twitter. He has repeatedly tweeted in support of the Freedom Convoy movement and was even forced to take a controversial tweet down which likened the prime minister to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

Reporters and commentators from media outlets including Global News, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star and others complained about the deal and pondered taking their content to another platform altogether.

“This isn’t good” says Globe and Mail journalist John Lorinc

CBC senior writer Aaron Wherry says “unpopular ownership” would kill Twitter

Toronto Star columnist Heather Mallick fears Twitter will become “too horrible”

Globe and Mail correspondent asks Canadian media “What are we gonna do?”

Why is Rebel News involved in so many lawsuits?

https://www.rebelnews.com/why_is_rebel_news_involved_in_so_many_lawsuits

If you're a regular watcher or reader of Rebel News, you've certainly seen some of the lawsuits we've been involved in. Suing regulators for access to the leaders' debates, suing police for arresting or abusing our reporters, suing thugs who try to censor our journalism, suing the government to try to end quarantine hotels.

But why is Rebel News involved in so many lawsuits?

On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra gave a thorough explanation of why Rebel News is so frequently involved in litigation.

While referring to a current appeal over a conviction for breaking election campaign laws for publishing The Libranos, Ezra said:

You might say: 'Ezra look, the fine for publishing your book The Libranos was only $3,000. You sold thousands of copies of the book, why not just call that the cost of doing business and just pay the fine? Like literally, you are spending tens of thousands of dollars, it might turn into $100,000 by the time we're done, why are you spending $100,000 — it probably will be that much — to fight a $3,000 fine? That doesn't make any sense, what are you trying to make every lawyer in the country rich?'

No. We have to fight on principle. It's not about the $3,000 — it's since when does the government interrogate authors about their books and criminalize books that are not registered with the government? And this is done with RCMP officers, 30-year veterans of the force.

Even if it was a $1 fine, don't you think we have to appeal? I learned yesterday, from the lawyers on the government side, that never in Canada's history has an author or a book or a promotion of a book been prosecuted in this manner. That's what they said. Under oath.

The government told our lawyer that this was the first time in history it was done.

Canadian entrepreneur running his pickup truck on fuel that costs 25¢/L

https://www.rebelnews.com/canadian_entrepreneur_running_his_pickup_truck_on_fuel_that_costs_25c_litre

Spending just $1,000 to convert his truck, Roger Gordon says his ammonia-powered pickup is has no carbon emissions and costs a measly 25¢ per litre to fuel up.

Like most Canadians, Halton Hills, Ont., resident Roger Gordon is dismayed that the cost of a litre of gasoline approaching the $2 benchmark in our great Dominion. Indeed, it already exceeded that price-point in British Columbia.

But instead of grumbling about the high cost of gas — and the absurd energy policies of the Justin Trudeau Liberals — Gordon is doing something. Namely, he converted his Ford F-350 pickup truck to run on ammonia, the cost of that fuel being a mere 25 cents per litre.

Gordon says it only cost him about $1,000 to carry out the conversion, and he never worries about range anxiety given that his truck can also seamlessly switchover to gasoline in case his ammonia tank runs dry.

And talk about a “green new deal”: Gordon claims the emissions coming out of his truck’s tailpipe are carbon-zero.

Of note, the idea of using ammonia as fuel alternative isn’t new — the concept goes back to the 1800s.

But there are big challenges in terms of making ammonia a widespread alternative. While Gordon has constructed a patent-pending ammonia fuel production device on his property for his own needs, to bring ammonia to the masses a large-scale production facility would be required — as well as a distribution network.

In any event, we visited Roger Gordon recently to take a spin in his ammonia-fuelled truck and his modified F-350 performed just like a gasoline-based truck.

Only time will tell if ammonia catches on as a cheap and green fuel alternative. But in the here and now, Gordon is enjoying 25-cent a litre fuel costs, and as Bob Barker would say, “The price is right.”

Moderna partners with University of Toronto

https://www.rebelnews.com/moderna_partners_with_university_of_toronto

The collaboration will include, but is not limited to, fields of medical research such as biochemistry, molecular genetics and biomedical engineering.

The U.S.-based biotechnology firm Moderna is undertaking its first partnership with a Canadian university on research collaboration.

Researchers from the University of Toronto (U of T) will work with Moderna through a partnership framework agreement. This collaboration will include, but is not limited to, fields of medical research such as biochemistry, molecular genetics and biomedical engineering.

Moderna notes that “collaboration is an integral part of [their] success.”

The firm has developed an alliance with several strategic collaborators to help advance “the development of mRNA medicines.”

In January of 2016, the firm “entered a global health project framework agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to advance mRNA-based development projects for various infectious diseases.”

Since as early as 2004 — and nearly every year thereafter — the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has also committed grants to the University of Toronto for various initiatives. The grand total of those grants that occurred over nearly two decades is just shy of $28,000,000.

The subsegment of U of T, the Dalla Lana School of Public Health also collaborates with the World Health Organization on health promotion. The DLSPH Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases also lists GAVI as a key partner.

The Vaccine Alliance, also known as GAVI, is focused on the “Power of Partnerships” in which it boasts core partnerships with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

In a photo-op posted by U of T announcing this partnership, it is shown that the Moderna delegates took a tour of the Lash Miller Chemical Laboratories and the Combined Containment Level 3 (also called C-CL3) facility.

This is the only lab in the Greater Toronto Area that is equipped for safe and secure research on Risk Group 3 pathogens and is therefore a crucial component of the country’s capacity to develop therapies and cell biologics related to infectious diseases.

The lab's director, Scott Gray-Owen, noted that C-CL3 is one of the pillars of U of T’s Emerging and Pandemic Infections Consortium (acronymed EPIC), which aims to connect researchers from U of T and its partner hospitals with industry and government agencies in a manner that strengthens Canada’s capacity to respond to infectious diseases.

Interestingly, U of T is also home to the Institute for Pandemics which is another subset of the DLSPH.

The Vohra Miller Foundation (VMF) had helped establish the University of Toronto’s Institute for Pandemics in August of 2020 with a $1 million investment. VMF was founded by Sabina Vohra-Miller and her husband Craig Miller. Sabina appears to be heavily embedded in the biopharmaceutical space with previous employers being Amgen, Roche Pharmaceuticals and Takeda Pharmaceuticals.

Looks like the Pharma-funded technocracy continues to infiltrate Canadian institutions unabated.

Church in the Vine heading to trial for obstructing health inspectors

https://www.rebelnews.com/church_in_the_vine_heading_to_trial_for_obstructing_health_inspectors

Pastor Rodney and Tracy Fortin have been outspoken lockdown critics from the onset of the restrictions on places of worship.

Pastor Tracy Fortin and the Edmonton-area church face the potential for hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for three separate alleged breaches of COVID regulations when Fortin stopped Alberta Health inspectors from interrupting church services to check for coronavirus compliance.

Tracy and her husband, Pastor Rodney Fortin, have been outspoken lockdown critics from the onset of the restrictions on places of worship.

Church in the Vine did not police congregants for restriction adherence on behalf of health authorities and, instead, the Fortins wrote religious exemptions for those seeking to continue education and employment opportunities upon the imposition of vaccine mandates in workplaces and universities in Alberta.

Sunday after Sunday, health inspectors tried to gain access to worship services at Church in the Vine and week after week, Tracy denied the inspectors access, protecting the sacred nature of prayer and in-person fellowship for church-goers.

Eventually, Tracy and the church as an entity were charged with several regulatory offences. The Fortins lawyer, provided through your generous crowdfunding donations to www.FightTheFines.com, James Kitchen, told Rebel News he plans to argue that Tracy was justified in preventing the inspector's access to prevent a breach of the right to religious freedom and free association by the government agents.

Trial begins Tuesday.

Thousands of Canadians Surround Bill Gates Demanding His Arrest For ‘Crimes Against Humanity’

https://newspunch.com/thousands-of-canadians-surround-bill-gates-demanding-his-arrest-for-crimes-against-humanity/

The billionaire globalist and unofficial World Health Czar was at the Vancouver Trade & Convention Center in the Canadian city to deliver a keynote address about the “next pandemic” at a four-day TED Talk conference, reported Alicia Powe for the Gateway Pundit.

Activist Chris Sky, who is known for leading protests of the vaccine mandates in Canada, led a peaceful march to the front door of the convention center.

“Arrest Bill Gates! Arrest Bill Gates!” the protesters chanted.

During a speech at the “Super Protest,” a demonstrator said Gates “is not our god.”

“He’s not elected, but he thinks he is more important than the government itself.“

Another speaker was Dr. Sofia Bayfield, a physician, who said that any doctors “who start to speak up against the mandates, who start to speak up about the media narrative, are paying a price.“

“We are paying a price professionally. Psychologists are going after us. We are losing our hospital privileges,” she said.

Bayfield said many of her colleagues, including surgeons and radiologists, have not worked since October.

“Shame,” she said. “As we know, science is never settled. Even Albert Einstein said we have to debate. Science is always an ongoing debate. This is very important. The risk that we are taking in standing up is worth it. It is our moral obligation.“

Powe, citing the TED Talk 2022 website, noted Gates is scheduled to give a presentation on his book “How to Prevent the Next Pandemic.”

World’s Top ‘Nazi Hunter’ Condemns Trudeau For Spending $794M Training Neo-Nazis In Ukraine

https://newspunch.com/worlds-top-nazi-hunter-condemns-trudeau-for-spending-794m-training-neo-nazis-in-ukraine/

Efraim Zuroff, the director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Israel, believes it is a lack of “due diligence” on the part of Trudeau and the Canadian government, rather than a conscious policy decision to support Nazis in Europe.

“The Canadian government didn’t do its due diligence,” Zuroff told the Ottawa Citizen on Wednesday.

“It’s the responsibility of the Canadian Defense Ministry to know exactly who they are training.

“There is no question that there are neo-Nazis in different forms in Ukraine, whether they are in the Azov regiment or other organizations,” he added.

Efraim Zuroff, the American-Israeli Nazi hunter, has slammed Trudeau’s Canadian government for training Nazis in Ukraine

Zuroff’s comments came after a Radio Canada report on Monday that, back in November 2020, Canadian troops were photographed training members of the “Azov” regiment including soldiers bearing the insignia of the SS division “Galizien,” a Ukrainian unit that fought with Hitler’s Nazis in World War 2.

The authenticity of the photo was acknowledged by the Canadian military, the Ottawa Citizen reported. But Canadian Forces (CAF) rejected the idea they have any obligation to ensure they foreign troops they are training are not Nazis or terrorists. Continue…

Exploring Biodigital Convergence

What happens when biology and digital technology merge?

Table of Contents

Foreword

Summary

What is biodigital convergence?

Why explore biodigital convergence now?

Good morning, biodigital.

What new capabilities arise from biodigital convergence?

What are possible characteristics of the biodigital system?

What are some initial policy questions?

Conclusion

Acknowledgements

Endnotes

In the coming years, biodigital technologies could be woven into our lives in the way that digital technologies are now. Biological and digital systems are converging, and could change the way we work, live, and even evolve as a species. More than a technological change, this biodigital convergence may transform the way we understand ourselves and cause us to redefine what we consider human or natural.

Biodigital convergence may profoundly impact our economy, our ecosystems, and our society. Being prepared to support it, while managing its risks with care and sensitivity, will shape the way we navigate social and ethical considerations, as well as guide policy and governance conversations.

Guided by its mandate, Policy Horizons Canada (Policy Horizons) intends to start an informed and meaningful dialogue about plausible futures for biodigital convergence and the policy questions that may arise. In this initial paper, we define and explore biodigital convergence – why it is important to explore now, its characteristics, what new capabilities could arise from it, and some initial policy implications. We want to engage with a broad spectrum of partners and stakeholders on what our biodigital future might look like, how this convergence might affect sectors and industries, and how our relationships with technology, nature, and even life itself could evolve.

We welcome your comments and participation, and look forward to diving more deeply into the questions raised in this paper.

Summary

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Canadians and policy makers began to understand that the digital age was upon us. Early movers seized opportunities, grappled with challenges, and initiated deft policies that have provided benefits for decades. We continue to see the powerful effects of digitization, and more are surely to come. But we may be on the cusp of another disruption of similar magnitude. Digital technologies and biological systems are beginning to combine and merge in ways that could be profoundly disruptive to our assumptions about society, the economy, and our bodies. We call this the biodigital convergence.

This paper sets out an initial framing to guide Policy Horizons’ upcoming foresight work.

Three ways biodigital convergence is emerging

1 - Full physical integration of biological and digital entities

2 - Coevolution of biological and digital technologies

3 - Conceptual convergence of biological and digital systems

Biodigital convergence is opening up striking new ways to:

Change human beings – our bodies, minds, and behaviours

Change or create other organisms

Alter ecosystems

Sense, store, process, and transmit information

Manage biological innovation

Structure and manage production and supply chains

Possible characteristics of the biodigital system

Unless "Mr. James" confesses to this alleged crime, it looks like his defense team will have a heyday with the jury on identification. You see, the BOLO identified the perp as 5'5, 150 pounds.

Pope Francis to visit Canada’s Indigenous people as early as July

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pope-francis-to-visit-canadian-indigenous-populations-in-july/

‘I will be happy to benefit again from meeting you by visiting your native lands, where your families live,’ Francis told Indigenous leaders.

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) – Amid talks about the Church’s involvement in the Canadian residential school system, Francis has said he is planning a trip to visit Indigenous Canadians in July.

On April 1, following a succession of meetings with Indigenous leaders, Pope Francis indicated that he may be visiting Canada to meet with Indigenous people in their “native lands” as early as July 26, the Feast Day of St. Anne.

“You have brought the living sense of your communities here in Rome,” Francis said, referring to the meetings he had with Indigenous leaders throughout March.

“I will be happy to benefit again from meeting you by visiting your native lands, where your families live,” continued the pope, adding that “it gives me joy, for example, to think of the veneration that has spread among many of you for St. Anne, the grandmother of Jesus. This year I would like to be with you during those days.” Continue…

Trudeau gov’t spends over $200 million in taxpayer money on COVID jabs for poorer nations

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/trudeau-govt-spends-over-200-million-in-taxpayer-money-on-covid-jabs-for-poorer-nations/

Despite being mired in debt, Canada has contributed a total of $700 million to a global-sharing vaccine alliance.

The federal government of Canada under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently announced it would give an additional $220 million in taxpayer money so that so-called poorer nations can buy the abortion-tainted and experimental COVID jabs.

The money will go toward the COVAX global-vaccine-sharing alliance and brings the total amount the Trudeau government has contributed to the program to an eye-watering $700 million.

During a recent COVAX virtual summit, Trudeau said that the collective aim must “be to increase access to COVID-19 vaccines and other medical countermeasures so that every country has what it needs to protect its people from this virus.”

Canada under Trudeau had earlier promised the country would donate 200 million doses of the COVID jabs or the money to buy them by the end of 2022.

The COVAX virtual summit saw an additional $2.1 billion raised for jabs from countries attending the event.

The millions given to COVAX from the Trudeau government comes at a time Canadians are dealing with record-level inflation, with a federal government mired in over a trillion dollars of debt.

It also comes at a time when many Canadians are out of work or have lost their businesses due to draconian COVID policies forced upon them by governments.

The World Health Organization (WHO) directs in part the COVAX project. Of note is that WHO is behind a Global “Pandemic Treaty” that would in effect mandate signatory nations to follow by law any future pandemic responses set forth by the WHO.

Conservative MP and leadership candidate Leslyn Lewis recently warned about the dangers of the WHO “Pandemic Treaty.”

She said that Canada should “not” give away the “sovereignty” of the nation’s health care by signing such a treaty, the text of which is currently being written. Continue…

Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich hires top lawyer to appeal her bail conditions

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/freedom-convoy-leader-hires-a-top-lawyer-to-appeal-her-bail-conditions/

She is banned from using social media and confined to her home in Alberta.

Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich hired top Ottawa defense lawyer Lawrence Greenspon hoping to get her bail conditions, which ban her from using social media, reversed.

This past Monday, Lich was in court before Superior Court Justice Robert Pelletier for a review of her bail terms. However, her legal counsel asked the court to allow a change of counsel to Greenspon.

Greenspon is based in Ottawa and also a partner in the Ottawa law firm Greenspon Granger Hill. He is known for tackling high-profile cases.

Lich’s bail conditions ban her from speaking out against the Canadian government’s COVID rules on social media and online and attending any COVID protests.

She also has to reside at her Alberta house as directed by police, must report to them, and is to have no contact with the co-accused.

Lich’s now former legal counsel, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), said Lich was held in jail on bail because she was a “political prisoner” of Trudeau. Continue…

Documents confirm Canada’s plan to use COVID as leverage for World Economic Forum agenda

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/documents-confirm-canadas-plan-to-use-covid-as-leverage-for-world-economic-forum-agenda/

Canada has already adopted major WEF goals and initiatives, and a newly shared document indicates the country is embracing WEF objectives.

Documents recently shared by Rebel News show that in December 2020 then-Minister of Global Affairs Chrystia Freeland described Canada’s plan to use COVID-19 as leverage to adhere to the goals of the World Economic Forum (WEF).

Briefing notes for Freeland that Rebel News obtained through “Access to Information” filings were provided to Freeland upon her invitation to serve as co-chair of “the fourth meeting of the Global Action Group on the Post COVID-19 World” hosted by the WEF.

The “Run of Show” notes section made clear the meeting was “intended to finalize and agree upon a set of principles for global cooperation created by the WEF.” Freeland was asked to “lead the conversation” on the first of these principles, which was to “strengthen global cooperation.”

While recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic was indicated to be one of the goals of such a global partnership, the document indicates that COVID recovery was considered not just an end in itself but a means toward the WEF’s long-held aims of a more equitable and sustainable world.

Thus, one of the three objectives listed for the meeting was to “Reiterate Canada’s commitment to effective and accountable multilateralism” — that is, an alliance of countries to pursue a common goal — “including as a core element of our collective efforts to combat COVID-19,” that is, not exclusively as a way of fighting COVID-19.

NEWSCanada Research chair says federal bill has gone ‘terribly off-side’

https://westernstandardonline.com/2022/04/canada-research-chair-says-federal-bill-has-gone-terribly-off-side/

Ezra Levant, founder of Canadian media site Rebel News, said he doesn’t want his news organization to be under the “thrall” of Facebook and Google for the same reasons he won’t accept government funding — because media must be independent.

A proposed federal law to force platforms like Facebook and Google to pay Canadian media companies for merely facilitating access to their websites “flips common sense on its head,” says Michael Geist, the Canada Research chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law.

Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez introduced Bill C-18, dubbed the Online News Act, in the House of Commons last week as the federal government’s latest effort to bolster Canada’s struggling news media industry.

The proposal would require sharing platforms, like Facebook, Google, and potentially others, to compensate news organizations for linking to articles and even to their general websites.

But these sharing platforms already provide free value by directing traffic to Canadian media sites, Geist said. They are now being told they must pay for giving those free referrals, he said.

“It doesn’t make a lot of sense,” Geist told the Western Standard.

“The government is somehow taking the position that those links, or even just referrals — not even to a story, but just to the website itself — somehow that merits compensation. And I think that’s one spot where this legislation has just gone terribly off-side.”

Canadian media sites already pay thousands to advertise their work on Facebook.

Facebook’s ad library shows the National Post spent almost $900 on an ad that ran for two days in 2019 . It also estimated that The Toronto Star spent almost $15,000 in one week, April 3-9, on Facebook ads. Continue…
