Canada now an authoritarian state stage 1: Information control
Anyone wishing to see any site like this one, or one that may contain facts which contradict the narrative, need to get a VPN today. Make sure you set the server proxy outside Canada. For all I know, the Government of Canada has a workaround for this. But for the moment this should defeat any blockages that the Trudeau Government installs.

Driven By Multiculturalism, Woke Regime “Most Advanced In Canada”
“What is the end-game of the woke revolution?” is the premise of a new book entitled “Multiculturalism In Canada” by Hugh Donald Forbes, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto.
To understand the end-game of the woke revolution, look north: “The woke regime is most advanced in Canada, where officials call it multiculturalism.”
Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau added multiculturalism to Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the year 1982. The multicultural ideal would, in Trudeau’s words, “separate once and for all the concepts of state and of nation.”
‘The nudge unit’: Ottawa’s behavioural-science team investigates how Canadians feel about vaccines, public health and who to trust
When Trudeau and the premiers use their podiums to calm fears or tell hard truths about the pandemic, for example, their words don’t just come from hunch or political instincts. Reams of behavioural data is being collected by government throughout the pandemic, on everything from people’s general emotions about COVID-19 to their willingness to get vaccinated.
GOLDSTEIN: Growing Indigenous support for pipelines, oil sector, says report
Considering how the issue is being debated in Canada, you’d think Indigenous Canadians are unanimously opposed to pipelines and the development of our oil and natural gas resources.
In reality, as a new study by the Fraser Institute released Tuesday, First Nations and the Petroleum Industry — From Conflict to Cooperation, makes clear, nothing could be further from the truth.

A former Toronto IT worker, known as the “voice of ISIS” because he narrated its gruesome execution videos, is being investigated by the RCMP for “serious terrorism offences,” a court document unsealed Tuesday reveals.

China calls for UN investigation of Canada’s crimes against Indigenous people
On the same day Canada leads an international effort at the United Nations to demand that China allow free access to Xinjiang to investigate reported human rights violations, China and its allies have called on the UN to investigate crimes against Indigenous people in Canada.
“We are deeply concerned about the serious human rights violations against the Indigenous people in Canada. Historically, Canada robbed the Indigenous people of the land, killed them and eradicated their culture,” said Jiang Duan, a senior official at China’s mission to the UN in Geneva.

Woke Racism: European Canadians “Did Not Become White At The Same Time”
Official anti-racist materials being deployed by Global Affairs Canada contain some mighty provocative statements:
“One of the documents on which the Global Affairs material is based informs recipients that “all European immigrants did not and do not become white at the same time (Irish, Italians, Jews).”

In Defense of Canada’s First Prime Minister, John Macdonald
The memory of John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister, is not thriving these days in the country he brought into being. In 2018, his image was removed from the Canadian $10 bill, which it had decorated since 1971. His name has been quietly scrubbed from the Ottawa airport named in his honor in 1993. In August 2020, vandals toppled statues of Macdonald in Montreal and in Kingston, Ontario. (The city of Kingston legally removed that statue on June 18—a special blow to Macdonald’s memory in the city he represented in Parliament throughout most of his career.) This summer, the province of Prince Edward Island removed a modern statue of Macdonald from its capital, Charlottetown. Even the small town of Picton, Ontario, where Macdonald argued his first law cases, will soon remove a statue erected with donations from local residents, my wife’s family among them. Macdonald’s name has been erased from university and school buildings, and even book prizes.
Canadians Aren’t Being Told About Vaccine Risks
Reibl v Hughes went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada and in 1980 the Court articulated the current standard for informed consent, specifically that the physician (or other health care provider) “must give the patient sufficient information so that an objective, reasonable person in the patient’s position would be able to make an informed choice about a medical procedure”. The court defined failure to disclose the attendant risks as negligence.
Thus, in Canada, to receive a treatment or procedure, the subject must not just verbally agree and sign a consent form, but must give informed consent after having the risks explained to them.
Forty-one years after the Supreme Court decision our federal and provincial governments are engaged in a program of administering to the entire Canadian population above the age of 12, a completely new, untried, experimental, non-FDA approved, gene therapy treatment. This therapy, according to US and European government adverse vaccine reaction databases, is reasonably suspected of having killed thousands of people, and created serious injury in tens of thousands. Meanwhile, the long-term consequences of the therapy are simply unknown.
