Nearly 1,600 Canadian soldiers in the regular forces have quit, been kicked out or faced discipline for not complying with the Trudeau governmentā€™s mandatory Covid vaccination policy.

 

According to Blacklockā€™s Reporter, the Department of National Defence (DND) also forced 307 civilian employees on unpaid leave for not showing proof of at least two Covid shots.

 

ā€œThe chain of command always has the option of taking administrative action in relation to failure to follow an order,ā€ wrote the department. ā€œCanadian Armed Forces members who are non-compliant with the Covid-19 Vaccination Policy are subject to a full range of administrative actions.ā€

 

In total 1,573 members of various military branches either quit, were discharged or disciplined for not receiving the shots. When broken down further, 101 of those were resignations, 146 were discharges and 436 are currently under ā€œadministrative review that could lead to release.ā€ Continueā€¦

Trudeau government adopted 72 secret orders-in-council

 

https://tnc.news/2022/06/01/trudeau-government-adopted-72-secret-orders-in-council/

 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has adopted dozens of secret orders-in-council (OICs) since coming to office in 2015, including two during the Freedom Convoy protests.

 

A small number of reasons are available to governments for keeping OICs secret, including matters of national security, military operations and foreign investments in Canadian companies.

 

The unpublished OICs ā€“ which are hidden from both Parliament and Canadians ā€“ are government orders drafted by Cabinet and signed by the Governor General. The number of secret OICs is evidenced by an absent number in the Privy Councilā€™s database.

 

While Prime Minister Stephen Harperā€™s government adopted 28 secret OICs during his nine years in office, the Trudeau Liberals are up to 72 in less than seven years ā€“ with 21 of them in 2020 alone.

 

Eleven secret OICs have already been filed in 2022. Continueā€¦

Toronto Police revokes vaccine mandate for serving members

 

https://tnc.news/2022/06/01/toronto-police-revokes-vaccine-mandate-for-serving-members/

 

The Toronto Police Service (TPS) is rescinding its Covid vaccination policy for members currently on unpaid leave and inviting them back to work on Jun. 21.

 

TPS spokesperson Allison Sparkes confirmed the removal of the policy to True North in an emailed statement.

 

ā€œThe Serviceā€™s decision to rescind its COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccination Requirement was made in response to the current public health and occupational health context of the pandemic and the unique nature of its work and workplaces. Approximately 99% of our members are fully vaccinated and new hires are required to be fully vaccinated.ā€

 

ā€œMembers currently on an unpaid absence will return to duty on June 21, 2022. Officers will be deployed as operationally required by the Service and civilian members will return to their original roles.ā€ Continueā€¦

James Topp to meet MPs, shames ā€œtotal corporate media blackoutā€ on his march

 

https://tnc.news/2022/06/01/james-topp-to-meet-mps-shames-total-corporate-media-blackout-on-his-march/

 

As James Topp prepares to meet with MPs in Ottawa on Jun. 22, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veteran tells True North itā€™s been made clear to him that the Trudeau government and the legacy media are a big part of what has divided Canada.

 

ā€œThereā€™s this serious problem in the nation right now with the division thatā€™s been produced over the past two years,ā€ he said. ā€œWeā€™re going to come together with a number of organizations and hopefully work together with Members of Parliament to try to do something to fix that.ā€

 

Speaking from Marathon, Ontario this week on day 100 of his protest march, the 28-year career soldier said his discussions with Canadians along the way have confirmed thereā€™s something very wrong with the way the country is being run.

 

ā€œThe perspective that Iā€™ve gained on this journey is that the Canadian spirit is ever present,ā€ he said. ā€œHowever, thereā€™s intense dissatisfaction with the present government. Iā€™ve talked to other folks as I go along, and we came to the conclusion that this has been going on for a number of years in this country and that thereā€™s too much power concentrated in too few hands.ā€ Continueā€¦

PETITION: Trudeau, keep your hands off our guns

For all the talk of public safety coming from Justin Trudeau, his actions seem to indicate he is entirely committed to punishing legal firearms owners and utterly unwilling to target smugglers, gangs and violent criminals.

 

Justin Trudeauā€™s latest gun grab, which limits access to handguns and adds a number of concerning and arguably ineffective hoops to jump through, goes a long way to impede law-abiding sport shooters and hunters from legally and safely enjoying the sport they love and to undermine a traditional part of Canadian culture that many have enjoyed for generations.

Federal government knew by mid-December that vaccines wouldn't prevent Omicron transmission

 

https://www.rebelnews.com/federal_government_knew_by_mid_december_that_vaccines_wouldn_t_prevent_transmission

 

Unsurprisingly, they didn't seem too keen on broadcasting this message to their constituents.

 

According to an inquiry of ministry, by mid-December 2021, just two weeks after imposing a vaccine requirement on all air and rail travellers, the Public Health Agency of Canada had strong evidence that vaccine effectiveness against omicron infection and symptomatic disease was low.

 

The response to the inquiry posed by Conservative MP for Oshawa, Colin Carrie, was read into the official Hansard record just one day after the Liberal-NDP coalition in the House voted down a Conservative motion brought forward by health critic Melissa Lantsman to eliminate the vaccine mandate for air and rail travel.

 

Carrie forced the government to divulge when agencies and ministries became aware that vaccinations would not be effective in stopping the spread of Covid-19, what the feds consider fully vaccinated, and what government uses as definitions of "cases," "sick person," and "vaccine."

 

Half a month after the feds brought in a travel ban on the approximately 6 million Canadian citizens who either are unvaccinated to Covid-19 or who think their vaccination status is a matter to keep between themselves and their doctor and not themselves, the government and their flight attendant, the data became clear to health agencies that vaccination would not be effective in stopping the spread or symptoms of Covid-19.

UN Special Envoy Mark Carney helps fundraise for the Trudeau Liberals

 

https://www.rebelnews.com/un_special_envoy_mark_carney_helps_fundraise_for_the_trudeau_liberals

 

Is Mark Carney violating the United Nations' conflict of interest policies by helping fundraise for the Liberal Party of Canada?

 

Donors were asked to support a Liberal-affiliated research group by Mark Carney, the former Bank of Canada governor who is now a UN special envoy on climate action and finance. He implied for people to chip in, and according to Blacklockā€™s Reporter, a United Nations ethics code prohibits conflicts of interest by envoys.

 

From the UN's staff regulations:

 

A conflict of interest occurs when, by act or omission, a staff memberā€™s personal interests interfere with the performance of his or her official duties and responsibilities or with the integrity, independence and impartiality required by the staff memberā€™s status as an international civil servant. When an actual or possible conflict of interest does arise, the conflict shall be disclosed by staff members to their head of office, mitigated by the Organization and resolved in favour of the interests of the Organization.

 

Back in April of 2021, the former governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England said that he would do whatever it takes to support the Liberal Party in their efforts to build a better future for Canadians.

 

He also added in a newsletter that he was excited to work with a left-wing research group, called Canada 2020, located in Ottawa. Continueā€¦

WATCH: Trudeau's staff ponders implementing new 'home equity tax'

 

https://www.rebelnews.com/watch_trudeau_s_staff_ponders_implementing_new_tax

 

Documents reveal that staff from the Office of the Prime Minister held meetings with a lobby group called 'Generation Squeeze,' to discuss implementing the new tax.

 

On last night's episode of the Ezra Levant Show, we were joined by Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the Canadian Taxpayer's Federation, to discuss how the Office of the Prime Minister held meetings with a lobby group to discuss implementing a new 'home equity tax.'

 

The lobby group, called "Generation Squeeze," has put forth the idea that one of the antidotes to sky-high housing prices across the country is to actually increase the burden on homeowners by introducing a brand new tax.

 

As Mr. Terrazzano discussed, if this new 'home equity tax' ends up being implemented, millions of Canadian homeowners will essentially be punished for owning a home, and will therefore have significant portions of their retirement nest egg taken from them.

 

As reported by the Canadian Taxpayer's Federation, ā€œ'The government is giving taxpayers every reason to worry that a home equity tax is coming down the pipe,' said Terrazzano. 'If Ottawa isnā€™t bringing in a new home tax, then the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) shouldn't fund and promote home equity tax studies.'ā€

Canada birth rate hits an all-time low

 

https://thecountersignal.com/canada-birth-rate-hits-all-time-low/

 

The birth rate in Canada hit an all-time low in 2020, likely due to increased economic and restriction-related stresses during the peak of lockdowns.

 

According to data from Statistics Canada, the average birth rate for each woman has decreased by 0.07 per cent to 1.4 children per woman. This led to only 358,604 births in 2020, a 13,434 drop in newborns from the prior year.

 

As Statistics Canada notes, this is significantly lower than the 2.1 babies per woman rate needed to sustain a population (two babies per couple, plus additional babies spread out in case of infant mortality).

 

Conversely, the average age of women giving birth continues to rise and now sits at 31.3 years old on average.

 

Of all the provinces and territories, BC has the lowest birth rate, an abysmal 1.17 births per woman, while Nunavut is the only territory with above replacement level fertility. Saskatchewan comes second at 1.78 births per woman.

 

Nonetheless, Canadaā€™s population continues to grow, fueled entirely by immigration. Indeed, as we previously reported, Canada welcomed a record 401,000 new immigrants in 2021, and Trudeau has promised to break this record year after year. Continueā€¦

World Economic Forumā€™s Top 10 Most Insanely Evil Plans For Humanity

 

https://www.truth11.com/world-economic-forums-top-10-most-insanely-evil-plans-for-humanity-number-6-will-make-you-puke/

 

In the past, if you dared to suggest the world was controlled by evil psychopathic ā€œelitesā€ hell-bent on enslaving the human race, then you would be regarded as a tin-foil hat wearing ā€œconspiracy theoristā€ and probably told you need to get out more. How times change. Fast forward to 2022 and the evil psychopathic elites arenā€™t even trying to pretend they arenā€™t hell-bent on destroying our lives.

 

Through its annual Davos summits, Klaus Schwabā€™s World Economic Forum (WEF) attempts to legitimize and normalize its influence on the world by having a panel of world leaders attending and speaking at the event.

 

According to mainstream media, the Davos meetings gather the great and good to discuss issues such as ā€œinequality, climate change, and international cooperationā€. This simplistic description appears to be custom-made to cause the average citizen to yawn in boredom. But topics at the WEF go much deeper and darker than ā€œinequalityā€.

 

Vigilant Citizen report: Throughout the years, people at the WEF have said some highly disturbing things, none of which garnered proper media attention. In fact, when one pieces together the topics championed by the WEF, an overarching theme emerges: The total control of humanity using media, science, and technology while reshaping democracies to form a global government.

Ten Times Empire Managers Showed Us That They Want To Control Our Thoughts

 

https://www.truth11.com/ten-times-empire-managers-showed-us-that-they-want-to-control-our-thoughts/

 

The single most overlooked and under-appreciated aspect of our society is the fact that immensely powerful people are continuously working to manipulate the thoughts we think about the world. Whether you call it propaganda, psyops, perception management or public relations, it's a real thing that happens constantly, and it happens to all of us.

 

And its consequences shape our entire world.

 

This should be at the forefront of our attention when examining news, trends and ideas, but it hardly ever gets mentioned. This is because the mass-scale psychological manipulation is succeeding. Propaganda only works if you don't know it's happening.

 

To be clear, I am not talking about some kind of wacky unsubstantiated conspiracy theory here. I am talking about a conspiracy fact. That we are propagandized by people with authority over us is not seriously in dispute by any well-informed good faith actor and has been extensively described and documented for many years.

 

More than this, the managers of the US-centralized empire which dominates the west and so much of the rest of the world have straightforwardly shown us that they propagandize us and want to propagandize us more. They have shown us with their actions, and they have at times come right out and told us with their words.

 

Here are just a few of those times. Continueā€¦

June 2 - Gun Grab: Fidelito Follows in Father's Footsteps

Mike Adams: Justin "Castro" Trudeau, a WEF puppet and traitor to the people of Canada, has just declared his intention to finalize legislation that would outlaw the sale, transfer and importation of all handguns in Canada. Following in the footsteps of Adolf Hitler who pushed strict anti-gun measures before initiating a massacre of millions of Jews, Trudeau clearly plans to disarm the citizens of Canada before unleashing the government to carry out arrests, executions and disappearances of those who disagree with government tyranny.

 

"It will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada. In other words, we're capping the market for handguns," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated.

Trudeau govā€™t funded report claims Freedom Convoy led to ā€˜anti-media rhetoricā€™

 

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/trudeau-govt-funded-report-claims-freedom-convoy-led-to-anti-media-rhetoric/

 

Canadian mainstream media, which is itself subsidized by the government, was caught spreading fake news stories about the Freedom Convoy.

 

OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) ā€“ Some Canadian legacy media outlets have claimed the trucker Freedom Convoy was the catalyst for growing ā€œanti-media rhetoric,ā€ including an increase in ā€œonlineā€ abuse via social media from those who supported the protesters.

 

According to Blacklockā€™s Reporter, a Trudeau government-funded report released last week cites members of Canadaā€™s mainstream media saying there is a rise in ā€œsocial media trolling.ā€

 

CBC Radio host Dave Seglins claimed that the rise of ā€œtrollingā€ includes ā€œpolitical polarization, anger directed at the so-called fake news,ā€ and ā€œgrowing hate and harassmentā€ which has ā€œbeen targeting mainstream media online and in the field.ā€

 

Allan Thompson, an associate director of the Carleton University School of Journalism and former Toronto Star reporter, claimed that the Freedom Convoy protest in February in Ottawa held on Parliament Hill exposed ā€œso many journalistsā€ to ā€œtrauma and harassment.ā€

 

Mainstream media coverage of the Freedom Convoy was heavily skewed against the protests and in favor of Trudeauā€™s use of the Emergencies Act (EA) to crush the protests.

 

Canadian mainstream media, which is itself subsidized by the government, was caught spreading fake news stories about the Freedom Convoy.

 

Canadaā€™s state broadcaster CBCā€Æhad to retract a storyā€Æthat falsely claimed most support for the Freedom Convoy came from foreigners. Trudeau himself used this as a basis for enacting the EA.

 

The CBC earlierā€Æretractedā€Æa story that falsely claimed Russia was behind the Freedom Convoy.

 

For three weeks in February 2022, the Freedom Convoy took to the streets of Ottawa to demand an end to all COVID mandates. As a result, Trudeau enacted the EA on February 14 to shut down the peaceful protest.

 

Trudeauā€Ærevoked the EAā€Æon February 23 after protesters had been cleared out.

 

As for the government-funded report, it claims that ā€œCovid-19 only made things worse, turning media workers into targets for the publicā€™s frustrationā€ and that this ā€œcame to a head during theā€ÆFreedom Convoy.ā€

 

ā€œTheā€ÆFreedom Convoyā€Æwas a flashpoint for growing anti-media rhetoric,ā€ said the report. Continueā€¦
