In 2006, the evening news told America something the CDC never wanted you to hear:
Over 20 years, seniors' flu shot rates more than quadrupled. Their flu deaths didn't fall. They kept climbing.
And when reporters asked to interview the government scientist behind the study, the NIH said no. 🧵

At what point do Liberal voters realize everything Carney is doing is for himself?
His support of the UN isn't going to make life better for Canadians, heck even number 2 on the 17 UN goals is combating hunger yet 1 in 4 Canadians are skipping meals.
If you can't solve hunger in Canada why are Canadians' tax dollars going to (so called) fix this problem around the world? I'd love to see the receipts that they actually do, probably gets laundered over in Africa and disappears.

We are witnessing a greasy salesman pushing the globalist agenda.
Him claiming that joining the EU makes us more independent & more prosperous is laughable. Unfortunately what’s very real is the amount of people falling for this.
Europe is in decline because of the very people he’s in bed with. Ask yourself, why would you want to be associated with individuals who are destroying western civilization?

AXIS OF FAILING JUSTICE: Trudeau, Carney, and Chief Justice Richard Wagner
Should the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada recuse himself from the upcoming Convoy case?
The government of Canada is going to the Supreme Court of Canada in another attempt to overturn Cornell v. Canada — the Freedom Convoy Emergencies Act Challenge.
The case is critically important. It will determine whether the Canadian government must follow the rule of law, or whether Canadian politicians can unleash extreme legal sanctions on Canadians citizens because of their own personal feelings about how Canadian citizens express themselves.
To legally impose the Emergencies Act, the government must prove that a national emergency exists arising from “threats to the security of Canada” which cannot be dealt with under any other law of Canada.
This did not happen when the Emergencies Act was imposed on 14 February 2022. Neither the CSIS nor the RCMP reported that such an emergency existed.
Additionally, those police forces that were “front and center” stated that they did not see a requirement for the Emergencies Act. This includes the Ottawa Police, the Ontario Provincial Police, and the Sûreté du Québec.
Lacking any intelligence or information to show a viable threat, Prime Minister Trudeau and his government simply invented one. The National Security Advisor, Jody Thomas, (illegally) created a new intelligence organ within the Privy Council Office. Using only open-source information, it suddenly “discovered” a viable threat based on a series of non-credible sources.
With that falsely generated assessment on hand, the Emergencies Act was imposed, and violence was unleashed on Canadian citizens. Others have bank accounts and credit cards frozen.
The critical issue here is that Trudeau, Carney, and Justice Wagner were all involved in promulgating fake information that portrayed the Convoy as violent and as a threat to Canada.
Justice Wagner was appointed as Chief Justice by Prime Minister Trudeau. On two separate occasions, Justice Wagner described the impact of the “blockades” on many Ottawa businesses and individuals—particularly “the most vulnerable”—as “deplorable” and said it “should never happen again.” He neglects to mention that the businesses were shut down in Ottawa by the City Council and Mayor Watson and that crime fell during the Convoy. A business boom would have occurred if government officials had not shut down businesses. Wagner also stated that linked part of the events to disinformation, which is ironic given that the government’s process of using the Emergencies Act was based on disinformation from the outset.
Prime Minister Carney (then a private citizen) wrote that women had been attacked by the Convoy. This was false. Carney also used the word sedition, explaining that he meant an “incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.” This is false. The Convoy in Ottawa never called for the overthrow of government.
The three key figures behind this ongoing case are Trudeau, Carney and now the Chief Justice.
As is often noted, justice must not only be done, but justice must also be seen to be done. Chief Justice Wagner must recuse himself as he is directly tied to Trudeau/Carney campaign though the previous use of disinformation created by the government (and its paid media).
This decision, if it is overturned, will change the most fundamental nature of Canadian justice and the restrictions placed on government by the rule of law. If overturned, Canadians will be subjected to violence by the government, false incarceration, and financial asset seizures – not by the rule of law but by personal whims.

A high-trust society cannot survive when the rules apply to some people and not to others.
Canada was known and loved as a place where you could trust your neighbours, expect fair treatment and build a life with confidence that the rules meant something. That trust was part of what made this country feel like home. It is worth protecting.
The rule of law is foundational to that trust. Everyone is subject to the law, including the people who write it, enforce it and exercise power in our name.
You cannot expect citizens to respect the law while allowing those in power to disregard its limits. You cannot demand honesty while rewarding corruption. And you cannot keep asking people to trust institutions that refuse to hold themselves accountable.
People see the double standard. They see who gets investigated, who gets protected, whose conduct is excused and whose life is turned upside down.
A high-trust society depends on people knowing that the same legal standards apply to everyone. That their rights will be respected. That public power has limits. That wrongdoing will have consequences, regardless of who is responsible.
A low-trust society takes hold when people conclude that the rules are merely tools used by those with power against those without it.
Those two systems cannot coexist. Either we uphold equal accountability, or we normalize selective enforcement and watch trust disappear.
And no, demanding accountability is not what undermines public confidence. The misconduct does that. The cover-ups do that. The refusal to apply the law equally does that.
Institutions are not entitled to our trust because of the power they hold. They earn it through how they exercise that power—and whether they hold their own accountable when it is abused.
Apply the law equally. Respect its limits. Hold people accountable, regardless of their title, position or political allegiance.
The rule of law means nothing if the people entrusted to uphold it are protected when they violate it.
The question for Canadians is: What kind of country do you want? One where you can trust your neighbours, rely on your institutions and know the law applies equally to everyone? Or one where who you know and how much power you hold determine which rules apply to you?

Take away one macronutrient at a time and watch what your body does. Only one of the three turns out to be optional.
Go without protein.
- Your body eats its own muscle for amino acids.
- Then your organs, your heart included.
- Your hair thins and your wounds stay open.
- Your immune system stalls.
- Children swell with fluid. Doctors call it kwashiorkor.
The body breaks down.
Go without fat.
- Your skin turns dry and scaly.
- Vitamins A, D, E and K go unabsorbed.
- Your night vision fades and your bones soften.
- Your blood stops clotting properly.
- Explorers living on lean rabbit sickened within a week.
The body breaks down.
Go without carbohydrate.
- Your liver makes all the glucose you need.
- Insulin falls and your fat stores open up.
- Your brain runs much of its fuel on ketones.
- Your blood sugar stops lurching up and down.
- The hunger that nagged every three hours goes quiet.
The body adapts.
Even the US Institute of Medicine admits it in writing: the lowest carbohydrate intake compatible with life is apparently zero.
The first fortnight feels flat while your body retools from sugar to fat. Push through, and within a few weeks the machinery is built.
Protein and fat, you cannot live without. Carbohydrate, you can, and a great many people live better for it.
Give it three months. Beef, lamb, eggs, butter, cheese. No sugar, no bread, no seed oil.
Then decide whether you ever needed the third one at all.

What if the arrangements we are told will preserve stability are actually creating the conditions for things to fall apart?
In The Pendulum of History, Charles Hugh Smith argues that concentrating wealth and power does more than create unfairness. It weakens the ability to correct problems because those benefiting from the system can override everyone else.
He describes it this way:
“A pendulum offers a third model of history: asymmetries push the socio-political-economic order to an extreme that cannot be sustained, and the pendulum swings to the opposite extreme, for example, from order to chaos and from surplus to depletion.”
That is what makes dismissing citizens’ concerns so dangerous. People point out failures, question decisions and demand accountability. Instead of treating that feedback as a reason to change course, those in charge treat the people speaking up as a threat.
The failures continue. The frustration grows. Yet we are told that protecting the existing arrangements is the responsible thing to do.
Smith argues:
“We are currently poised in that brief moment in which the pendulum has reached an extreme that cannot be pushed any further as the asymmetries have reached their systemic limits. Wealth-power-income asymmetries have reached extremes of concentration that generate instability.”
Which raises a difficult question: are these repeated failures unintended, or are some of these arrangements working exactly as intended for the people benefiting from them?
Failure alone does not establish intent. But “another mistake” becomes a less convincing explanation when the same people keep benefiting and everyone else keeps paying.
Smith’s warning is blunt:
“the majority have been conned into believing the current moment of apparent stability is authentic stability. But this apparent stability is as fake as everything else in Ultra-Processed Life, as events will reveal.”
We should take that distinction seriously. Institutions can continue operating while failing the people they exist to serve. Those holding power can feel secure while the public loses any confidence that meaningful change is possible.
Citizens asking questions are giving those institutions an opportunity to respond. If that opportunity is repeatedly rejected, who is actually putting stability at risk?

The Conservative government of British Columbia could do themselves massive favors by eliminating DEI, enshrining free speech rights & repealing Bill 36.
During the Conservative leadership race it was ultra clear members wanted WOKE gone.
The top two candidates ran on getting rid of all things woke & so did most of the other candidates. So clearly there is a mandate to do so.
Depending on whom you ask about last weekend’s election results in British Columbia, this province is either on the precipice of some long-awaited glory days — or a descent into utter MAGA-esque tyranny, replete with dead orcas (as one leftist influencer ominously warned immediately after a blue wave swept B.C.).

Every word of this. Living here isn't enough when you're shackled by fear of tribunals and speaking your mind.
Fiscal conservatism is nowhere near enough. Too many in caucus are Liberals who anointed themselves Conservatives to keep their jobs.
Hold them accountable. 🚨

Oh Canada... You will not believe this.
They have identified the 3 armed men who shot the Toronto man and his 2 daughters in a home invasion.
One "Black man in his 20's wearing dark clothes and a mask" and 2 slender men int heir 20's wearing masks.
In other words, NOTHING.
And I do a summary of what Canadian are allowed to possess for self-defense.
Short answer: A whistle.
Shorter answer: nothing.

A former prime-time Fox News anchor has now revealed what happened in 2007 if a guest mentioned vaccine injuries on air.
"They would run out to the set to tell you to shut that down."
Then she explained why the network was so terrified of the topic: "Half of Fox's advertising comes from Big Pharma."
That's why you never saw these stories. 🧵

Every Canadian journalist at the EU summit should be pressing Mark Carney on what this means.
Does Canada need to adopt EU standards?
Looks like we have to on carbon tariffs, or we pay.
How is adopting EU standards and regulations not surrendering sovereignty?

In Colorado, researchers gave breastfed babies puréed beef as their very first solid food instead of the iron-fortified cereal on every weaning chart, and the beef babies grew bigger heads.
Nancy Krebs took 88 babies, breastfed and four months old, and split them at random.
From five months, half were spoon-fed puréed beef. Half got the iron-fortified baby cereal American paediatricians had handed out as first food for generations.
The babies took to the beef just as happily as the cereal.
Between seven and twelve months, the heads of the beef babies grew faster. The amount of zinc and protein a baby took in predicted how much its head grew.
Her team kept going. Breastfed babies given more protein from meat grew longer, without putting on extra fat.
Then they took formula-fed babies and gave half of them meat purée and half of them yoghurt, cheese and whey from five months to a year.
The meat babies climbed up the growth charts for length. The dairy babies slipped down them, and got heavier for their height instead.
At two years old, the difference was still there.
The World Health Organization now says babies should have meat, fish or eggs every day from six months if they can.
The jar on the supermarket shelf still says baby rice.

Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring with breast cancer eating through her, hid it from everyone but her closest friends so the chemical industry could not use it against the book, and testified to the Senate in a wig because the radiation had taken her hair.
She was a government biologist who wrote pamphlets about fish for the Fish and Wildlife Service and sat up at night writing about the sea. Her first book came out a few weeks before Pearl Harbor and sold almost nothing. Her second, in 1951, sat on the bestseller list for 86 weeks and bought her out of the civil service. She never married. She buried her father, her sister and then her mother, and at 50 she adopted her orphaned great-nephew, Roger, aged five, and raised him alone.
In 1958 a friend wrote to her about the birds dropping dead in her garden after the mosquito spraying. Carson had been collecting the evidence on DDT since 1945, when the magazines turned her down. She started the book that winter.
In the spring of 1960, with the manuscript half written, the surgeon took her left breast off and told her it was benign. It was not. The tumour had spread, and she found out months later, from another doctor, that the first one had decided not to tell her. She wrote the rest of Silent Spring between radiation sessions, through nausea and a crumbling spine, with her hair falling out and an arthritic grip on the pen, and she told almost nobody. If the industry learned the author had cancer, the book would be read as a dying woman's grievance rather than a case.
The book came out in September 1962. The industry spent an estimated quarter of a million dollars answering it. Velsicol, which made two of the pesticides she named, wrote to her publisher threatening to sue and suggesting sinister influences wanted American farming reduced to Soviet levels. Monsanto printed a parody called The Desolate Year, in which the insects inherit the earth, and sent out 5,000 copies. A former Secretary of Agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson, was reported to have asked why a spinster with no children was so worried about genetics, and to have concluded she was probably a communist.
In April 1963 she went on CBS to face the industry's man, Robert White-Stevens of American Cyanamid, who told 10 million viewers that if mankind followed Miss Carson it would return to the Dark Ages. Two of the programme's sponsors had pulled out. Carson, upright in a wig, quietly took him apart. A month later President Kennedy's own science advisers reported that she had been right.
In June she sat before a Senate committee, barely able to walk to the chair, and the chairman greeted her with the line Lincoln is supposed to have given Harriet Beecher Stowe. "Miss Carson, you are the lady who started all this."
She died on 14 April 1964, aged 56, of the cancer she had hidden for four years so that it could not be used to discredit her work. America banned DDT in 1972.
In 2015 the daughters of the women sprayed in her lifetime turned out to carry 3.7 times the breast cancer risk when their mothers had carried the most DDT. Rachel Carson spent her last four years proving the chemical killed birds, and died of the disease it would later be found to have passed down through the daughters of the women who stood in the fog.
The industry called her hysterical. She never once mentioned her own body in the argument. She did not need to.

A friend of mine once sat on a plane next to the chief executive of a major American chemical company, one notorious for polluting the environment and sickening people with its products.
My friend asked what his single most important piece of advice was. He answered immediately:
"Always wash new clothes before you put them on."
Cosmetics get only a sliver of oversight. Clothing gets virtually none, and the chemicals in it can enter through your skin.
His advice is just the start. Here's what else is hiding in the clothes you wear:

If Ottawa wants to keep this country together, it could start by respecting how Confederation is supposed to work.
Provinces are not departments of the federal government. They have their own constitutional authority, their own responsibilities and governments elected to represent the people who live there.
A premier’s job is to defend the interests of the people they represent. That means answering to their citizens, protecting provincial jurisdiction and challenging federal decisions that work against their province. Keeping Ottawa happy is not the job.
When Ottawa’s message is “do what we say or lose the funding,” we have a problem. That money belongs to taxpayers, not the federal or provincial government. Albertans contribute to those funds. We should not have to give Ottawa control over provincial decisions to get our own money back.
Calling it cooperation does not change the coercion.
And where does that leave accountability? Albertans elect a provincial government to make decisions within its authority, only to have Ottawa use financial pressure to dictate the outcome. Who, then, is actually making the decisions, and how do Albertans hold them accountable?
This is precisely the kind of dysfunction that drives people to question Confederation. Yet instead of addressing it, those asking questions are accused of dividing the country.
Premiers have a responsibility to push back. Quebec understands the importance of defending its jurisdiction and its people’s interests. Every province should do the same. That is how federalism is supposed to work.
The more premiers allow Ottawa to overstep, the less this country functions as a federation. If Alberta’s interests are being compromised in the name of holding Canada together, who is standing up for Albertans?
Confederation has to offer more than an obligation to pay, comply and keep quiet.
If the federal government wants Canadians to believe this partnership works, it needs to respect provincial authority and stop using taxpayers’ own money to pressure them into submission.

‼️Meet the new "DOGE" Minister in Quebec!
Jacinthe-Ève Arel was just appointed by Plamondon to CLEAN UP government.
She routinely mocks Carney as an authoritarian who kneels before Buckingham Palace.
Here are some of her best quotes about Carney and Trump!
On floor crossing: “They called Trump a threat to democracy. What do they call it when politicians switch sides overnight and no one blinks?”
On throne speech: "Mark Carney, the man who claims to stand up to Trump, invites the King of England to affirm… Canada’s sovereignty. When you think you’re strong enough to defy Washington, but you still kneel before Buckingham to have our speeches read. Weakness dressed up as majesty.”
On Carney saying 50%+1 is absolutely not sufficient for independence: “And it’s the President of the United States Donald Trump who threatens democracy, who has authoritarian tendencies and who remakes the rules his own way? The emperor has no clothes in Canada.”
She has also compared certain COVID measures to totalitarianism.
Canada needs more Jacinthe-Ève Arel's!
