Researchers told Trudeau government that parents are wary of vaccinating young children

By

Canadian parents are hesitant about vaccinating kindergarteners against COVID-19 and resent being made to “feel guilty” by federal regulators, according to in-house research by the Privy Council Office (PCO) obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter on Friday. 

“Participants had a number of questions regarding vaccines,” said the research, called Continuous Qualitative Data Collection Of Canadians’ Views. “Most commonly focused on side effects and potential long-term implications of their use.”

Health Canada approved the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children five- to-11 years old in November. About 28% of Canadian children in this age range have been fully vaccinated to date. 

Findings were based on focus groups across Canada. The Privy Council paid $1.6 million for the report by the Strategic Counsel from a year-long series of questionnaires on certain topics. 

PCO researchers said that parents in Calgary focus groups said they had “legitimate concerns about the possible side effects and long-term impacts of a drug that, in their view, had been rushed to market for emergency use and remained largely untested in children.”

Meanwhile, Toronto focus groups said that they “objected to what they saw as an attempt to make them feel guilty and worried about the well-being of their children.” 

According to the research, parents were not anti-science but rather “vaccine hesitant.”

“Among parents, opinions were mixed,” said the research. “Some were interested and either discussing it with their children or had made the decision themselves to go ahead, while others were hesitant and wanted to wait for more data to be made available concerning safety.”

PCO researchers also reported many among the “vaccine hesitant” groups were open to changing their opinions once more data became available.The parents who remain opposed, said the researchers, were concerned about medical freedom and the vaccines’ safety. 

COVID-19 data from Health Canada reports that children 0 to 11 years old are at an extremely low risk from the virus. 

Data shows that 2,640 children 0 to 11 years old were hospitalized for COVID-19 in Canada, or 2% of all hospitalizations. 

In addition, there were 19 deaths in this age range, making up 0.1% of deaths. 

TOBIN: Trudeau government’s energy motto should be “unfair, unrealistic and uneven”

Imagine for me, you’re at a gasoline pump and see the price of gas at $2 a litre. You stand there seeing the meter go up and up. You look at your kids sitting in the car, and you realize they’re going to have to go a little hungry so you can afford your two fill-ups per week to get to work an hour away.

Now imagine a different scenario. Gas-powered cars were banned, and you’re stuck with an electric one. But the strain from the 33 million vehicles Canadians drive is too much on the grid. And then an emergency hits, and you need to leave, but your electric car is dead. And now your family is stuck.

Finally, imagine an environmentalist from 1970 shouting “ban, block and shut down” outside a power plant being teleported to 2022, and then being told that the heralds of his cause have not come up with a new idea in 50 years.

These feel like exaggerations. But there are two men for whom this isn’t a wild story – it’s their entire plan. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

If, like me, you watched Game of Thrones you know about the great Houses of Westeros. Stark, Lannister, Targaryan. Each House had its motto. We all know House Stark’s “Winter is Coming”.

Many famous families today have mottos. For example, the royal motto of the United Kingdom is Dieu et Mon Droit – “God and my right”.

Now if Mr. Trudeau had a motto it would probably be “um.”

But Steven Guilbeault’s would be “Unfair, Unrealistic, Uneven.”

Uneven Steven is a fanatic with extremist ideas and a history of radical activism to match. Recently he was caught in an interview with the Narwhal saying he wanted to “phase out Oil & Gas in 18 months”. Which doesn’t mean we’ll only get rid of some of it. Or you’ll have a bit less. It means none. Zero.

His media allies rushed to his defense saying he was talking about subsidies. Nonetheless, he revealed his hand.

Uneven Steven’s solution to the emissions problem is to get rid of the 500,000 or so jobs that the oil and gas sector touches in Canada. That’s a lot of hard-working Canadians without a paycheque to feed their families.

It also means getting rid of our baseload 80% energy provided by oil and gas that would have to be provided by unreliable wind turbines and solar panels – which, by the way, requires the most materials of any energy source. Like strategic minerals that are mined with child labour in Africa, and slave labour under the communist government in China.

And not only do they have the highest material needs, but they also can’t be recycled well. There are landfills all across the globe full of wind turbine pieces, solar panel bits, and the batteries of electric vehicles – full of toxic chemicals spilling into the environment.

They’re peddling fairy dust. It’s energy denialism.

On top of all this they also want to increase the carbon tax, crank it way up.

To help explain, here’s a number – $10.

For every $10/tonne the carbon tax goes up, you owe $0.23 a litre on gasoline. So when the carbon tax goes up to $170/tonne on April 1st this year – a 467% increase (Trudeau gets a raise on the same day by the way) – you’ll be paying a total of $0.40 a litre in carbon tax.

And gas is already at record highs across the country.

Of course when gas goes up, everything goes up with it. In December, Canada’s inflation rate hit nearly 5%. That means you get poorer very fast. It means you struggle to feed your family. It means energy poverty for millions.

And the worst part about all of Uneven Steven and Trudeau’s schemes? They won’t remove a single gram of CO2 from the air.

They are actively suppressing and hiding the real solution – Carbon Tech.

Carbon Tech is an awesome new technology. It actually takes the CO2 out of the air and turns it into a usable product. We can use it for fertilizer or turn it into pencil graphite. Heck, we can even make alcohol out of it. It’s a miracle cure for the emissions problem.

And now the EU is declaring Natural Gas a Green Product – which Canada makes in abundance, with the world’s best standards. If we could get it to displace wood and coal burning in places like China and Germany, global emissions would tank.

But Uneven Steven and Trudeau don’t like this because it doesn’t benefit their big government schemes and agendas.

Because they are unfair, unrealistic and uneven.

Winter is here for Canadians. And it will come every year as it always does. Do you want to keep your family warm with natural gas, or wind turbines?

Global energy demands are only going up. Canada needs to be the one to supply it. We can literally save the world. 

Let’s get our best-in-the-world product to the rest of the world.

Elections Canada to investigate 205,000 uncounted ballots in last election

Elections Canada says it will be conducting a probe after it was revealed earlier this month that nearly 205,000 mail-in ballots went uncounted during the 2021 federal election. 

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Chief Electoral Officer Stephane Perreault said during a Commons House affairs committee that it was “unfortunate” that the record number of ballots was not included in the final election results. 

“Obviously any late ballot is unfortunate. These are people who wanted to cast a ballot but we were not able to count them,” said Perrault. 

“We’ve never had such a large-scale vote-by-mail operation. We are looking at every angle to see how it can be improved in the future.”

Ahead of the 2021 election, Elections Canada encouraged voters to cast mail-in ballots instead of attending voting stations due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

“We are prepared to do an election if it were called tomorrow,” Electoral Officer Perreault had claimed on November 11, 2020. 

Despite assurances that the agency could coordinate the vote, it announced that a “significant number” of votes were not counted. 

Among those ballots were 114,583 which were never returned by post and 90,000 that were returned late. 

“In fact, 90,274 mail-in ballots (local and out-of-riding) were received after the deadlines described in the Canada Elections Act (either by close of polls locally, or 6 PM ET for international/national mail-in ballots returned to Ottawa),” Elections Canada told True North.

“114,583 ballot kits were either never returned to us, or they were cancelled (for example, electors who returned their ballot kit unused because they voted in person instead). Those two numbers represent different things.”

According to Perrault, the department is confident that they will be able to deliver a report on what exactly went wrong. 

“The separation within the 114,000 between those who simply chose not to vote and those who chose to vote by another means is something we need to look into. To do that we have to pry open all of the bags coming back from all the parts of the country,” said Perrault.

“That is a long process. I am confident we will be able to report on that.”

Recap of Day 28 of the Truckers for Freedom Convoy

On Day 28 of the Truckers for Freedom Convoy, police shot a journalist with a gas canister, protesters on Wellington Street were driven back and demonstrators remained defiant in cities across the country.

Police resumed aggressively herding protesters off of Wellington Street today. Tensions remained extremely high as the line of officers advanced in front of the protesters at the foot of Canada’s Parliament Buildings. 

Rebel News journalist Alexa Lavoie was live-streaming the moment a police officer shot her in the leg with a gas canister from point-blank range. She was also struck repeatedly with a police baton. 

Here was Alexa’s entire live stream leading up to the shocking display of police force. 

Police continued to use aggressive tactics against protesters. 

Quebec police who arrived on the scene to back up the Ottawa officers appeared to have removed their name tags and badge numbers from their uniforms. 

Protesters were seen kneeling before police multiple times today in order to pray. 

True North’s Andrew Lawton documented the scenes live from Wellington Street as the police cleared the route. 

Freedom Convoy co-organizer Tom Marazzo held a press conference on Saturday where he called for protesters to make a peaceful withdrawal from Ottawa.

“There isn’t anything to be gained by being brutalized by police,” Marazzo said.

He went on to stress that this was not a defeat and that the withdrawal is merely one battle in a larger war. 

Marazzo criticized the shocking abuse of power displayed by provincial and federal law enforcement, saying there was no violence until the police arrived. 

“Never in my life would I believe anyone if they told me that our prime minister would refuse dialogue, and choose violence against peaceful protesters,” he said.

Marazzo announced that the truckers would be initiating a Charter challenge against vaccine mandates and that legal counsel for those arrested and/or injured by police was being arranged. 

Several of the Freedom Convoy organizers had already been arrested, including Chris Barber, Danny Bulford, and Tamara Lich.

Appearing in court on a ‘counselling to commit mischief’ charge today, Lich learned that she will be forced to stay in jail until Tuesday while a judge considers whether or not to grant bail.

Ottawa Police announced they were live-tweeting events today in an attempt to “combat misinformation” coming out of media reports. 

Claiming they had not used tear gas, the police specified that the gas they had deployed against a journalist was a “chemical irritant” used against protesters who were “assaulting” officers. 

“Protesters continue to be aggressive and assaultive on officers. They are refusing to comply with the orders to move. You will have seen officers use a chemical irritant in an effort to stop the assaultive behavior and for officer safety,” Ottawa Police tweeted. 

Ottawa Police also posted graphics with the number of arrests made throughout the day. By the afternoon, they claimed 47 arrests and that they had cleared the protesters from Wellington and O’Connor. 

Meanwhile, interim Ottawa Police chief Steve Bell said in a press conference that anyone involved in the protests could expect to be charged after investigations that could take months. 

“If you are involved in this protest, we will actively look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges,” Bell said.  

Despite these threats and heavy police presence, protesters remained defiant. 

In Ottawa, large crowds kept dancing.

In cities across Canada, demonstrators gathered again to continue their protest against the lengthening government overreach and ongoing COVID restrictions. 

Here was a crowd in Toronto singing O Canada. 

A huge crowd of people gathered in Calgary. 

The largest protest outside of Ottawa was in Quebec City. 

This was the scene.

The House of Commons resumed debate over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s implementation of the Emergencies Act today after the Liberal government cancelled the session on Friday.

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis spoke out against the unprecedented measure, announcing she intends to vote on Monday to defeat it.

Freedom Convoy organizer calls for peaceful withdrawal from Ottawa

One of the remaining organizers of the Freedom Convoy who hasn’t been arrested is calling on protesters to peacefully and immediately withdraw from Ottawa to avoid the heavy-handed police response.

Speaking at a press conference at the Lord Elgin hotel Saturday afternoon, Tom Marazzo said it was time for demonstrators to leave to avoid further harm.

“There isn’t anything to be gained by being brutalized by police,” Marazzo said.

Marazzo’s announcement comes after police used aggressive tactics –  including riot gear, horses and “chemical irritants” – on Friday and Saturday to disperse peaceful protesters who are demanding an end to the country’s COVID-19 mandates and restrictions.

Marazzo said that the grassroots movement would regroup, noting the Ottawa demonstration was “one battle in a larger war.”

He also confirmed that the elderly woman who was trampled by a police horse yesterday is alive despite rumours on social media that she had died in hospital. 

Marazzo went on to say that it was a dark day in Canadian history.

“Never in my life would I believe anyone if they told me that our prime minister would refuse dialogue, and choose violence against peaceful protesters,” he said.

He mentioned how the convoy protests were always peaceful, adding, “the violence came to us when the police arrived.” 

Marazzo said the truckers will initiate a Charter challenge to try to strike down vaccine mandates. He added that legal counsel for those who have been injured and/or arrested by police is also being organized. 

Several of the Freedom Convoy organizers have already been arrested, including Chris Barber, Danny Bulford, and Tamara Lich.

While Marazzo said he isn’t aware of any warrants for his arrest, he confirmed that his bank account has been frozen and his credit cards cancelled. He added that his spouse’s credit score dropped 109 points yesterday, despite the fact that she is not even in Ottawa.

True North’s Andrew Lawton was present at the press conference and asked whether there had been discussions with the OPP granting amnesty to protesters choosing to leave Ottawa. 

Marazzo responded that he had been told police are doing a “catch and release” operation where people are removed from Ottawa’s downtown core and then let go.

When asked about children being present at downtown protests near the police lines, Marazzo said that he would personally not bring his children into this type of situation. 

He added, however, that parents should be making those decisions for themselves.

True North’s Andrew Lawton also asked Marazzo if he could confirm whether convoy organizers are now in control of the money raised via the GiveSendGo fundraiser. Marazzo said he could not speak to that issue.

Things got tense when another journalist followed up by asking if people in Ottawa would be compensated for alleged “property damages.” Marazzo brushed off the question, after which some of the journalists in attendance began arguing with each other.

Although the Freedom Convoy demonstrations have been largely peaceful, they have disrupted some downtown Ottawa residents and businesses. These inconveniences led to organizers working out a deal last Sunday with mayor Jim Watson to move the trucks out of residential areas and onto Wellington Street. The deal with the city was, however, called off by the OPP when the Trudeau Government invoked the Emergencies Act.

Marazzo said that the withdrawal of the convoy and its organizers is not a white flag of surrender. He said one of the wins for them is that there were still many Canadians out in the streets to support the cause despite violence from the police. 

Marazzo also said that the most meaningful thing that people can do is learn and understand the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, adding “start exercising your charter rights; do it today.”

Since beginning in late January, the Freedom Convoy has been supported by Canadians across the country and received international attention.

Even before the first trucks arrived in Ottawa, however, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had dismissed them as a “fringe minority” holding “unacceptable views.” He refused to meet with the truckers during their time in Ottawa, opting instead to remove them using aggressive police tactics.

Israeli doctors scold Trudeau for comparing convoy protesters to Nazis

By
Jonathan Bradley
-

A group of 23 prominent Israeli doctors and scientists has written a letter chastising Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for equating demonstrators participating in the Freedom Convoy to Nazis. 

“The important fight against antisemitism should not be weaponized and directed at a legitimate civil protest which aims at restoring fundamental freedoms, to what used to be, not long ago, one of the freest countries in the world,” said the group in a letter on Friday. 

The group said that in recent weeks, they have been following news about the Freedom Convoy. They tell Trudeau that rather than pursue constructive dialogue, he has engaged in “a smear-by-association campaign, portraying the protestors as ‘Nazi sympathizers,’ ‘racist’ and ‘anti-Semitic’.” 

The group’s letter added that many of the signatories are second or third-generation Holocaust survivors and that they are “deeply concerned by (Trudeau’s) attempt to stigmatize the Freedom Convoy 2022 protestors as Nazi ideology supporters.” 

On Wednesday during Question Period in the House of Commons, Trudeau had answered a question by Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman by accusing her party of standing “with people who wave swastikas.” 

Lantsman is Jewish and a descendant of Holocaust survivors. 

“Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas,” said Trudeau. “We will choose to stand with Canadians.” 

He did not apologize to Lantsman, even when pressed by her and other Conservatives. 

The Freedom Convoy entered its 28th day on Saturday, with Ottawa police continuing a massive operation it began on Friday to clear downtown Ottawa of the Freedom Convoy protests. 

A notice distributed to demonstrators prior to the operation warned them to “leave the area now.” 

“Anyone blocking streets, or assisting others in the blocking (of) streets, are committing a criminal offence and you may be arrested,” read the police notice. “You must immediately cease further unlawful activity or you will face charges.”

Meanwhile, debate had resumed in the House of Commons over Trudeau’s implementation of the Emergencies Act, with a vote expected on the measure on Monday.

Canada condemns Cuba’s treatment of protesters in 2021 while police in Ottawa crackdown on freedom convoy

Even as heavily armed police cracked down on peaceful protesters in Ottawa, Global Affairs Canada sent out a notice criticizing Cuba’s harsh sentencing of demonstrators from the 2021 Cuban protests.

“Canada strongly advocates for freedom of expression and the right to peaceful assembly free from intimidation,” said Global Affairs in a tweet on Friday. “We stand with the people of Cuba in their aspiration for #democracy.”

Twitter users were quick to criticize the department for supporting protests in Cuba while police were forcefully dismantling the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa. 

Timcast IRL producer Luke Rudkowski mocked the government department. 

“Look at the horrible things happening in Cuba RIGHT NOW,” said Rudkowski. “Sorry, that’s in Canada!” 

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis said that she was confused about the tweet. 

“Given the use of the Emergencies Act on peaceful protestors in Ottawa, I must ask if this is a satirical account,” said Lewis. 

Meanwhile, Canada’s Office of Human Rights, Freedoms and Inclusion put out a similar tweet that was also criticized by Twitter users. 

“Canada is concerned about recent developments in #Guatemala, where legal action has been initiated against independent judges, lawyers & anti-corruption prosecutors,” said the government office. “Rule of law, judicial independence & due process underpin strong democracies and must be respected and protected.”

The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) started to move in on clearing the Freedom Convoy from downtown Ottawa on Friday and continued its operations on Saturday. 

A notice distributed to protesters prior to the police operation warned them to “leave the area now.”

“Anyone blocking streets, or assisting others in the blocking (of) streets, are committing a criminal offence and you may be arrested,” said the OPS. “You must immediately cease further unlawful activity or you will face charges.” 

Meanwhile, debate had resumed in the House of Commons over Trudeau’s implementation of the Emergencies Act, with a vote expected on the measure on Monday.

On day 27 of the Truckers For Freedom Convoy, police trampled and beat peaceful protesters, a True North journalist was pepper-sprayed and the world watched on in disgust.

The day began with the Trudeau government cancelling debate over the Emergencies Act in the House due to police action on adjacent streets around Parliament Hill. 

Shocking scenes ensued.

Riot police had been flown in from all corners of Ontario to shut down the protest. They were armed with heavy firepower, riot gear, pepper spray, tear gas and batons. 

Police deployed riot horses and pepper spray, vehicles’ windows were smashed, and over 100 arrests were made.

In what was likely the most horrifying scene of the day, police on horseback charged the crowd and trampled an elderly First Nations woman who had pleaded that the protest was peaceful.

Her condition in hospital is unknown at this time.

Watch the shocking abuse of power enabled by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s implementation of the Emergencies Act.

This picture shows the chaos from above. 

Pepper spray was deployed on both non-violent protesters and the media, including True North Senior Fellow Andrew Lawton. 

Here is what happened to Andrew.

This was the tense moment before police charged protesters in front of the Chateau Laurier and Andrew was maced. 

Andrew livestreamed events throughout the day. 

A large police presence was seen outside the Westin Hotel where the arresting of protesters began this morning. 

A shocking moment was captured by a Global News livestream as police manhandled a veteran.

Ottawa Police tweeted that protesters were provoking officers on the scene.

Legacy media reported that the people who were trampled by riot horses had thrown a bike at the police.

A review of the evidence shows an elderly woman with her mobility walker.

This Global News report said that “a bicycle was thrown at the feet of one of the horses in an attempt to injure it, and one person was arrested for intentionally harming a police service animal.”

Elsewhere, police were seen beating a protester with what appeared to be the stock of his rifle. 

Condemnation of police action poured in from observers around the globe.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson slammed Trudeau in a scathing segment on his evening show.

“If it looks like something out of Belarus, it is. But it’s happening in a capital right here in North America,” Carlson said. “They kneed several demonstrators in the head…horses began trampling Canadians as they peacefully protested.”

“This kind of violence sponsored by Justin Trudeau continued all day…here’s the definition of tyranny. It’s oppressing your citizenry, ignoring the most basic standards of human rights and then preventing the worst of the world from seeing what you’re doing.”

People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier labeled Justin Trudeau’s Canada “a banana republic.”

“There is no emergency in Canada,” declared Bernier.  “No war. No insurrection. No terrorist attack that justified invoking this law. It is outright illegal, undemocratic and unconstitutional.”

Interim Conservative Party leader Candice Bergen wrote on Twitter that she was “disturbed and saddened” by what she was seeing in Ottawa.

Despite the shocking scenes that unfolded during the day, protesters in Ottawa resiliently celebrated another night on Wellington Street by lighting fireworks and dancing. 

True North will continue to bring you more coverage throughout the weekend. 

The House of Commons is expected to resume its debate over Trudeau’s implementation of the Emergencies Act on Saturday.

Ottawa community centres introduce COVID vaccination policies for young children

By
Elie Cantin-Nantel
-

Some Ottawa community centres are now requiring children as young as five to show proof of double vaccination to enrol in its programs, while one is requiring adults to have had their third shots. 

The Glebe and Ottawa South community centres, as well as the Dovercourt Recreation centre, are all requiring that children born in 2016 or earlier show proof of double vaccination in order to participate in programs.

These programs include after school clubs, breakfast clubs, art and dance classes, as well as summer and March break camps.

“When you come to your first program session, you will be asked to show proof of double vaccination for your child aged 5 to 17 and a corresponding piece of government-issued ID showing the name of the child being registered,” reads the website of the Old Ottawa South Community Association.

In addition to requiring young kids to be vaccinated, the Ottawa South Community Centre is mandating the booster shot for any adult wishing to participate in programs effective Mar 1.

There appears to be no mention of medical or religious exemptions on the websites of the Ottawa South or Glebe community centre websites. 

The Dovercourt website does state that only medical exemptions will be considered, although those who manage to obtain such an exemption would have to undergo bi-weekly testing at their own expense. 

True North reached out to the three community centres to ask why they had implemented these policies given that the province is not mandating the vaccine for young children.

“The health and safety of our children, our clients, our staff and everyone’s family continue to be our top priority,” said the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group (GNAG), which runs the Glebe Community Centre.  “We are a small organization with limited staff resources and are unfortunately not well equipped to handle an outbreak or a sudden staff shortage.” 

GNAG also told True North, “should the situation of this pandemic change, we will adjust our policy in a manner that is responsive and reasonable.”

While these Canadian community centres are requiring that parents share their children’s medical information to prove that they’ve been vaccinated, some countries have altered course on children’s vaccinations.

The Swedish health agency has even recommended against vaccinating children aged five-to-11, claiming that the risks outweigh the benefits.

“With the knowledge we have today, with a low risk for serious disease for kids, we don’t see any clear benefit with vaccinating them,” said Swedish health official Britta Bjorkholm.

In Denmark, pediatricians have questioned vaccinating young children and have called on the government to review whether it should continue recommending that parents vaccinate their five-to-11-year-olds.

While every province in Canada had implemented a vaccine passport during the pandemic, none opted to expand those mandates to cover young children, with some premiers stressing the importance of parental choice.

“I’m going to leave that up to the parent when it comes to five-to-11-year-olds. Do we want to get them vaccinated? Yes. But there are some parents that are vaccinated, they are a little hesitant at the age of five or six. I get it,” said Ontario Premier Doug Ford in October.

Ford announced this week that provincial proof of vaccination requirements would be dropped on Mar 1. 

These community centres will still be allowed to require proof of vaccination, however.
