Conservative MP Larry Brock grilled Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland on Tuesday for relying on a fake CBC story that claimed a majority of the funding to the Freedom Convoy came from foreign sources.

During the Special Joint Committee on the Declaration of Emergency, Freeland repeatedly refused to answer questions regarding what information the Liberals relied on to justify using the extraordinary powers to quash demonstrations in Ottawa. Continue…

Exclusive: New CRA documents reveal top secret meetings with Liberals about stripping pro-life groups of their charitable status

Emails hint at a 'secret finance request' linked to compliance and ongoing audits 'not to be discussed beyond the three of us'.

The plan to attack the largely Christian-motivated work being done by crisis pregnancy centres began in advance of the Liberals' last election win in September 2021, although the Liberals made the cause a campaign issue and did not make an announcement about the plot until December 2021.

One October 1, 2021 email from a Health Canada official post-election quoted the Liberal platform directly, informing the Canada Revenue Agency the pro-life groups had to be stripped up charitable status for “providing dishonest counseling to women about their rights and about the options available to them at all stages of the pregnancy.”

“I am responsible for sexual and reproductive health at Health Canada and we are now turning our attention to implementation plans for new platform commitments," she wrote.

On September 10, 2022, ten days before the Liberals won the election, they were trying to put their campaign promises into place before they were even given a mandate by Canadians, asking CRA about “compliance considerations”:

“There are compliance considerations in terms of our ability to implement and, particularly for the anti-abortion item, considerations at registration”

By November, Finance was putting material together and seeking input from CRA — though only from people with Secret clearance:

“Do we have the necessary tools”

A further email hints at “another secret finance request” linked to compliance and ongoing audits “and it's not to be discussed beyond the 3 of us.”

The rest of the emails regarding the secret meetings are redacted. Continue…

EXCLUSIVE: Top Public Health epidemiologist says vaccine mandates were 'never recommended' for air travel

'The head epidemiologist for the Public Health Agency of Canada admitted while I was cross examining her that they never recommended vaccination of air travellers,' said Keith Wilson, a lawyer challenging the requirements on behalf of former Newfoundland premier Brian Peckford.

The top epidemiologist for the Public Health Agency of Canada said that the government agency never recommended COVID vaccinations as a requirement for air travellers, according to a statement made during a significant hearing on the validity of restrictions.

Speaking on last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Keith Wilson, a lawyer working on the Charter challenge brought forward by Brian Peckford, the former Newfoundland premier and last living signee of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, explained what he had learned during cross examination.

“The head epidemiologist for the Public Health Agency of Canada admitted while I was cross examining her that they never recommended vaccination of air travellers,” Wilson said, who added that he “was stunned” by the statement.

“The written advice that they [the Public Health Agency of Canada] provided did not identify vaccination as a mitigation strategy,” he explained. Instead, public health suggestions identified the use of masks, distancing of passengers while arriving, departing and on board the plane and a quarantine area if a traveller was sick.

So why didn't the Public Health Agency include vaccine requirements in its COVID mitigation strategy?

“She [the head epidemiologist] said, she volunteered, that the reason is the scientific evidence doesn't support that it would be effective,” Wilson stated.

During last year's federal election, vaccine mandates featured as a prominent wedge issue Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used against then-leader of the Conservative Party, Erin O'Toole.

Despite his previous opposition to mandates, something the prime minister even referred to as “divisive,” Trudeau and his Liberal Party shifted strategies to supporting mandates after conducting polling research, according to Blacklock's Reporter.

Describing more of the “remarkable evidence” that has been uncovered during the trial, Wilson also said that the lead policy expert for Transport Canada testified that the department “made a conscious decision not to grant exemptions for travel on compassionate grounds.”

Transport Canada “made a conscious decision in order to incentivize Canadians to get vaccinated, it's just remarkable the evidence that's come out,” Wilson told The Ezra Levant Show.

Vaccine requirements for domestic travellers, outbound international flights, federal staffers and transportation workers were suspended by the Trudeau government yesterday. While most measures are now removed, federal authorities cautioned restrictions could return should the COVID situation worsen.
