What happened to the idea of adults being resilient and taking action rather than putting on endless emotional displays?

A Canadian coming home through Pearson this week describes a hellscape of crowding and bureaucratic chaos at the airport.
Her story suggests that the mandatory hotel stay and other so-called health protocols are discriminatory, coercive and entirely unrelated to science.

Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says she’ll soon have advice to help fully vaccinated Canadians figure out what they can safely do, but it won’t be a blanket list of dos and don’ts covering everyone, everywhere.
Instead, Canada is looking at a “risk assessment tool” that will guide Canadians to make a call on their own whether they are safe and comfortable to take off their masks and throw physical distancing to the wind.

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.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is firing back at Green Party Leader Annamie Paul, stating she is “not a token” after being accused of serving as a “female shield” to the prime minister.

Liberal Health Minister Patty Hajdu once again refused to hand over documents related to the firing of two scientists from a federal infectious disease lab in Winnipeg.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, during a Canada-China Relations Committee meeting, Hajdu repeatedly refused to disclose information about the incident claiming that releasing the documents could harm Canada’s national security.

Canada has contracts to buy more than 251 million doses of seven different vaccines from vaccine makers, more than three times what it needs to fully immunize every Canadian.
But the doses Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Sunday will be donated to COVAX are only those Canada was buying from the global vaccine sharing alliance itself.

The National Post and many other papers owned by Postmedia published an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday, calling for action against the “predatory monopoly practices of Google and Facebook against Canadian news media.”

Trudeau says he expects high interest from overseas travellers who wish to come to Canada because of vaccination uptake rates and case counts that are better than peer countries.

On Tuesday, Mr. Trudeau was opening a meeting of mayors, smiling, giving shout-outs to retiring big-city leaders, before he switched – “First and foremost,” he said – to a 2½-minute statement about the failure of residential schools, and the national need for reconciliation. And then he went back to the urban agenda.

Witnesses who appeared before the Commons special committee on Canada-China relations this week said they were troubled by comments Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made about racism — comments that left Conservatives fuming.
During a debate last Wednesday about the dismissal of two Chinese scientists from the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg, Trudeau appeared to suggest that Conservative MPs were feeding anti-Asian sentiments by asking questions.

The federal government says the other 500,000 shots due to arrive this week will come from Moderna, which will deliver the jabs in two separate shipments.

Researchers with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute have been tracking the “misery” unleashed by the pandemic – not just by COVID-19, but by governments’ responses to it. Health statistician and economist Prof. Richard Audas joined The Andrew Lawton Show to break down his findings.
