Williams Lake mayor Walt Cobb is being criticized for sharing a post about the ‘other side of residential schools,’ on his personal Facebook page.

The post, which the mayor shared late Friday morning Oct. 27, includes the words, ‘most of the older generation that did suffer are long dead and gone or have forgiven’ and ‘it seems to me that many of the new generations just want to be victims and feel the money would solve their pain.’

McAuliffe Campaign Now in More Trouble Over Accusations Involving Racist Tweets

Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe’s campaign just can’t seem to stop imploding.

I thought that McAuliffe saying, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach,” was basically the stake through the heart of his campaign.

But McAuliffe and his campaign haven’t stopped stepping in it ever since. All this has been having a big impact on the campaign with a new Fox poll finding the Youngkin is eight percent ahead of McAuliffe with likely voters after being in basically the opposite position just two weeks ago because Youngkin has burst ahead in the numbers and McAuliffe has collapsed.

Regardless if it is trust in legacy or alternative media, the decline since President Joe Biden took office has registered in double digits, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Media Trust Index shared with Secrets.

Senior Edmonton Care Home Staffer Says they Won’t Properly Treat Unvaccinated Residents

David Dickson, a retired Liverpool police officer and owner of a cybersecurity firm who has been instrumental in gathering government data to show deep flaws in Alberta government and AHS practices, has been hearing reports from within Villa Caritas care home in Edmonton which he shared with TNT.

Dickson said that:

“Last week I was informed through the health care workers group I support, that a senior staff member at Villa Caritas Care Home in Edmonton stated that they would “Slow Code” any person who was unvaccinated. This statement was made to another health care worker in an area that was monitored by a camera.”

Dickson then went on to explain what a “Slow Code” is and why it is fully irresponsible to subject unvaccinated care home patients to that standard of care.

Ontario won’t issue retroactive long-term care fines over pandemic violations

Hefty new fines for Ontario long-term care providers won’t be applied retroactively for violations earlier in the pandemic when new legislation from the Progressive Conservatives takes effect, despite concerns that the worst offenders haven’t been held to account.

The Ministry of Long-Term Care said it has not issued a single fine to operators who broke the rules during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has so far killed more than 4,000 people in long-term care and infected more than 15,000 nursing home residents.

The bulk of those deaths — which make up 40 per cent of all virus deaths in the province — occurred during the first two waves of the pandemic, before most residents in long-term care could be vaccinated. Inspection reports and eyewitness accounts from homes with virus outbreaks described horrific conditions and a failure to follow measures meant to control the spread of COVID-19.

Is this finally proof China created Covid? Group of online sleuths fought to discover if the virus was engineered by scientists in Wuhan lab at the heart of probe into the pandemic’s origins

We must ask, is it a coincidence that a bat-derived, SARS-like coronavirus showed up in the very city with the largest laboratory collection of bat-derived SARS-like coronaviruses in the world and the most active research programme studying such viruses? And a city that is well over a thousand miles from the region in China where viruses like this are naturally found.

‘Kill on demand’: China’s chilling organ transplant black market exposed

Thousands of people have their organs harvested every week in China in a “kill to order” market.

And with the horrifying details that dissidents and political prisoners are being slaughtered for their organs, China appears to have its own real-life Squid Game.

Liver on sale for $160k: Uyghur organs ‘harvested’ in China’s black markets

Notably, this is not the first time that allegations have been raised regarding organ harvesting in the detention centres of China. In June earlier this year, the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) said that its human rights experts were “extremely alarmed” by reports of “alleged ‘organ harvesting’ targeting minorities, including Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Muslims and Christians, in detention in China.”
