A group of international lawyers and a judge are conducting a criminal investigation modeled after Grand Jury proceedings in order to present to the public all available evidence of COVID-19 Crimes Against Humanity to date against “leaders, organizers, instigators and accomplices” who aided, abetted, or actively participated in the formulation and execution of a common plan for a pandemic.
The biggest political event since COVID brought its miseries to the country is taking place in the precincts of the Rideau Canal and the Chapters bookstore down the street from the terribly underused House of Commons, rather than the Parliament buildings themselves.
One of Britain’s top scientists is to be interviewed under oath by the US Congress over concerns that he was at the centre of a cover-up about the origins of Covid, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Sir Jeremy Farrar was among a group of scientists who initially claimed the coronavirus could have been man-made in a lab in the Chinese city Wuhan, where the pandemic began.
But after discussions with US officials and other leading scientists in February 2020, he changed his position, dismissing suggestions that the virus was made in a lab as a conspiracy theory.
GoFundMe cancelled a fundraiser for truckers protesting Canada’s vaccine mandates despite promoting money-raising efforts for the deadly Capital Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP).
The Freedom Convoy campaign, which raised nearly $8 million USD for truckers, was nixed Friday by GoFundMe for violating its terms of service ‘which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment.’
Conversely, it actively endorsed a campaign in 2020 for a CHOP participant despite active riots in Seattle. GoFundMe retweeted a Bloomberg article featuring farmer Marcus Henderson, who started a garden to feed the protestors.
Canadians have done as they were told during the pandemic. They lined up for shots until the country had one of the developed world’s best vaccination rates, they endured some of North America’s longest lockdowns, and they’ve complied with a wide assortment of curfews and quarantines.
But even in a society known for its civility and deference to authority, many are reaching their limit.
Last week, thousands of Canadians stood on the side of the road, many in subzero temperatures, gazing into the cold abyss of tundra — waiting, hoping, that their boys, the so-called deplorables would emerge before dusk. They watched the foggy horizon intently, conspicuously, with waving flags and prepared foods, hoping to catch a glimpse of men in their overalls and wellingtons, sitting behind their wheels with their bad knees and aching backs, with soot-covered faces, with the windows rolled down, pumping their fists with one hand while steering to their glorious destination with the other.
More than 1,200 people have now signed a petition calling for the resignation of Police Chief Peter Sloly and Mayor Jim Watson over handling of the trucker convoy.
“Ottawa is under siege and occupied by an unlawful group under the banner Freedom Convoy 2022. Despite the illegality, danger, and impact of having our nation’s capital taken from us, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa Chief of Police Peter Sloly refuse to take action and have refused an offer of help from the RCMP.
“Citizens of our beautiful capital have become hostage to an extremist movement. Join in making it clear this is unacceptable and disgusting.”
“Nationwide insurrection!”? In Canada, you say? Really?
Ottawa police chief Peter “Moves” Sloly told his bosses, the Ottawa Police Services Board, that his “resources” are inadequate to evict the Freedom Convoy protesters now in their second week of peaceful demonstrations in the world’s second-coldest capital.
In Ontario, 2,230 people are hospitalized with #COVID19. Please note that not all hospitals report on weekends.
There are 486 people in ICU with COVID-19.
There are 2,887 new cases of COVID-19.

Protests against COVID-19 measures continue in cities across Canada
Ottawa police are conducting criminal investigations into 50 alleged incidents connected to a long-running protest against COVID-19 measures in the city’s core.
Police say 11 of those alleged offences were hate crimes, and four people are facing charges.
Sometimes it’s what you don’t do, rather than what you are authorized to do, that keeps a potential nightmare from ever waking up.
This was on display Saturday. And Toronto set the standard of how to keep something with the potential to blow up from doing just that. While tempers continue to flare with civic leaders in Ottawa over the truckers protest, Toronto’s mayor and police chief set a different tone here.

Trucker convoy: Ottawa ‘under siege’ amid ‘nation-wide insurrection,’ officials say
The nation’s capital is a city “under siege” by the trucker convoy that has dug in over the past nine days amid what the chair of the police services board called a “nation-wide insurrection.”
“We are on day eight of this occupation. Our city is under siege. This group is emboldened by the lack of enforcement by every level of government,” said Diane Deans, chair of the board.
“This group is a threat to our democracy. What we’re seeing is bigger than just a City of Ottawa problem. This is a nation-wide insurrection. This is madness. We need a concrete plan to put an end to this.”

The new measures announced by the chief of Ottawa police against truck convoy protesters are those used by oppressive regimes around the world, says a lawyer representing organizers of the Freedom Convoy protesting COVID-19 mandates in Ottawa.
“He effectively announced that he is going to be taking away Canadians’ charter right of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression,” Keith Wilson, a lawyer with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), said in a video on Feb. 4.
They’ve shut down the convoy’s campaign, reminding us that this is a fight for freedom
… This is an outrageously political move. The justification proffered by GoFundMe is feeble and deceives no one: they claim the demonstration has become an “occupation” and that “violence and other unlawful activity” is taking place, thus violating their terms of service.
But is it? Where and who are the bad actors? Surely the names of these violent offenders and the precise nature of their connection with the Freedom Convoy are all over the internet by now. Yes, we’ve heard a lot about a swastika flag and a Confederate flag, but if police have established their identities and their relation to the convoy, the world has yet to hear about it.
