When the frightening, frantic first waves of COVID-19 hit Canada in March 2020, Dr. Matt Strauss worked in intensive care at a Kingston, Ont., hospital and taught at Queen’s University medical school.
He volunteered for extra shifts at Kingston Health Sciences Centre to help with the crush of patients, but a much less dramatic development now anchors his public place in the pandemic: he started sharing his thoughts about pandemic response.

Ottawa Police Service (OPS) leadership singled out a detective because she opposed Covid mandates and was critical of the vaccine, and even forbid her from discussing Covid at work, according to evidence and testimony provided during Detective Helen Grus’ discreditable conduct tribunal, which recessed Friday.

Ontario’s Crown prosecutor has decided to drop all charges against a pastor who allegedly violated the province’s Reopening Ontario Act during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), which represented the pastor, said the scheduled Sept. 14, 2024, trial of Michael Thiessen of Grace Baptist Church in Alliston, Ont., “will not be proceeding.”

Did the Canadian lockdowns violate the rights of citizens? A recent decision by an Alberta judge in the case of Ingram v. Alberta (Chief Medical Officer of Health) answered “yes” to this question.
Justice Barbara Romaine of the Court of King’s Bench ruled that Alberta’s COVID orders violated civil rights because it was the government, led by former premier Jason Kenney, that ordered the lockdowns — rather than the unelected chief medical officer of health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw. The draconian lockdown measures therefore violated the Public Health Act.

OTTAWA—An audio recording played at the pre-trial for Helen Grus—an Ottawa Police Service (OPS) detective being charged with disorderly conduct for investigating the vaccination status of the mothers of deceased infants—showed she sent two emails to then-Police Chief Peter Sloly to discuss a spike in infant deaths and a number of police officers with COVID-19 vaccine-related heart problems.

COVID-19 case counts are down dramatically from a year ago, according to federal data. Hospitalizations are higher than during the first two pandemic summers, but are hovering around their lowest point since December, 2021. And there are now fewer than 30 COVID-19 deaths reported across the country per week.
But owing to limited testing and COVID-19 deaths that are undetected or not yet reported, the real toll COVID-19 continues to take on Canadians is not yet known.

A surge in infections from the Omicron variant during the last respiratory virus season left three quarters of Canada’s population with some level of immunity against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
The figures on infection-fuelled immunity — as opposed to vaccine protection — was produced by the COVID-19 immunity task force and published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

All-cause mortality rates in babies, children, teenagers, and young adults have soared by a staggering 45 percent since early 2021, new official data has revealed.
New data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows an alarming spike in deaths for the 0-24 age group.
The CDC data reveals a sharp uptick of 44.8% in excess mortality in the 0-24 age range beginning in early 2021.

Young people are retreating from the social sphere.
Britain’s nightlife is in trouble. Since June 2020, more than a third of nightclubs have closed down. There were just 873 nightclubs left in Britain as of June this year. This all follows a steady decline in clubs and pubs since 2000.
The closures have become so routine and predictable that news of another venue biting the dust barely registers anymore. It wasn’t always so. The closure of popular venues once aroused shock and dismay – and for good reason. Every closure means the demise of jobs and the shrinking of our night-out choices.

Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus is charged under the Police Services Act with ‘Discreditable Conduct’ for allegedly conducting “unauthorized” investigations into nine Sudden Infant Deaths where she sought to know the vaccine status of the mothers in January 2022.
Although Ottawa Police recently released some of the legal documents filed in the case, the organization is still refusing to release motions and decisions since April 26, 2023.
As previously reported here, the Ottawa Police for many months concealed the judge’s decisions and lawyers’ motions – even going so far as to deceitfully inform the public and the press in April that the judge had not made a decision about a December 29, 2022 Disclosure Motion – when the truth was the judge delivered his decision on January 31, 2023.

In the heat of the COVID mask wars, a scuffle between two Starbucks customers narrated by a “distorted” 23-second viral video turned Toronto Catholic teacher Angela Sena’s life upside down.

ON June 17 Sasha Latypova, a retired pharmaceutical industry executive, gave an interview to Jan Jekielek, a senior editor of the Epoch Times, about the military machinery behind the global Covid-19 response. Latypova told him: ‘So right from the start there was a huge deception going on. They’re treating it as war and they’re telling people it’s a health event. They’re covering up military activity with this representation of health event and a response to a health threat.’

“The wiretap was calculated to intimidate Detective Grus and her family – but all these ‘Urgent Emergency’ wiretaps during the Freedom Convoy backfired.
The wiretaps served only to galvanize Canadians and strengthen the legitimacy of protest against governments that overstepped their authority and power.”

‘Tony doesn’t want his fingerprints on origin stories.’
On April 17, 2020, with much of the country still in some form of lockdown and news of overwhelmed hospitals dominating the headlines, Dr. Anthony Fauci, then a member of the President’s Coronavirus Task Force, was asked a question toward the end of a White House press briefing: Was there a possibility that this novel virus came from a lab in Wuhan, China?
