Is the PPC a racist party? Anti-vaxx? Climate Change deniers? Will they split the vote?

Maxime Bernier and his People's Party of Canada are staring to garner a lot of attention lately.  And with the so called "purple wave" gaining momentum they're also coming under fire, which should not come as any real surprise.   The party was officially registered by Elections Canada in January of 2019, and less than a year later they ran a nearly full slate of Candidates for the October 2019 federal election.  

When they only polled 1.6% of the national vote in 2019 many dismissed the PPC as a fringe party that would quickly disappear.  That hasn't happened, instead the PPC is now polling far ahead of the Green Party, with some publications suggesting they could take aim at the NDP's status for third place. 

What has happened to breathe life into Maxime Bernier's nascent movenment in such an incredibly short period of time?  The obvious answer is covid and the manner in which governments of all levels and affiliations have chosen to respond.  Many people recognize the absurdity of mandates calling on a small retail outlet to close, while allowing major multi national chains to stay open.  Lockdowns have been both contradictory and unfair.  

Not everyone is so blind to situations like we've seen in Toronto, where a restaraunt on the south side of Steeles is forced to shut down, while 100 metres away on the north side of the street, the same type of buisness was allowed to stay open.  

And now with all the legacy political parties supporting proof of vaccination systems, those who oppose having to disclose personal medical information have yet another reason to look at the People's Party. 

And now the knives are out.....I'm going to address several of the attacks being hurled at Maxime Bernier, PPC candidates and supporters.

The PPC is racist!!!

I've seen this a number of times, both on social media and with mainstream government funded outlest.  Right wing extremists, white nationalism.....these are the slurs being used.  But are they true?  Frankly I have a hard time substantiating any of these claims.  If you look at the slate of PPC candidates running in this election you will see that it is fully representative of Canada's diverse population.  I don't know specific numbers....I don't know the percentage of men versus women, or visible minorities....because frankly I don't care.  What matters to me personaly isn't a person's sex, or the colour of their skin....what matters is where they stand on the issues.  

What is most ironic is that this attempt to portray the PPC and it's supporters as racist, often it comes from Liberals, a party led by a man who has worn blackface so many times he can't put a number on it.  Imagine if Bernier or O'Toole had been found to have paraded around like Al Jolson while associated as a facutly member of a school....they would have been roasted like Patrick Brown was over false allegations of sexual misconduct.

Now, is that to say there are no racists supporting the PPC?  That would be stupid, there are racists in every party....not everyone is as overt as Justin Trudeau of course, but I have zero doubt that there are individuals who harbour racist views in every single party, including the NDP and Greens. I even know lifelong NDP supporters who bemoan that Singh is their leader.  They're still voting NDP but they're doing it in spite of Jagmeet Singh being the leader of their party.  That on its face is disgusting, but it is what it is.....

They're all anti-vaxxers!!!

This one is even more laughable.  On the night of the English language debate, Maxime Bernier took part in a web based Pod Cast style interview along with a candidate who disclosed being fully (two shots) vaccinated against Covid-19.  

Only a moron would call a party with vaccinated candidates "anti-vaxxers".  What the PPC is in favour of is choice, the choice to decide whether or not to be vaccinated with these mRNA or Vector shots, and the choice of whether or not one wants to disclose that status, one way or the other.  

They're Climate Change Deniers...

This is another false claim.  Maxime Bernier is on record saying he believes in Climate Change.  Where this false attack comes from is the fact that the PPC departs from the legacy parties in how to deal with it.  Recognizing that Canada is responsible for just 1.6% of the planet's carbon emissions, it's hard to see for many people what Canada can really do to impact global climate change.  Some think we can "signal" to the world how to respond, but at the end of the day Canada is farting into a hurricane when countries like China are firing up more and more coal plants to generate hydro for their exploding economy.  

They'll split the vote!!!

This one resonates deeply with those Conservatives who are mortified at the prospect of Selfie Boy Al Jolson winning another election, even a minority mandate.  Erin O'Toole has looked at the political landscape in this country and seeing 60% of voters being on the left....he's taken the Conservatives over to that side.  

The Conservative Party of Canada has now moved so far left, with promises of a national Covid vaccination ID system, deficits for at leat the next 10 years, no discussion even allowed on issues that matter to Social Conservatives....its gone so far left that Canadian voters of a Liberal left wing mind set have four choices, five for those in Quebec.  

On the left there's O'Toole, Trudeau, Singh, Greens and BQ, and on the right there's only the PPC.  So the concern of vote splitting should only exist on the left, those on the right don't have anything to split from.....if you're a right leaning Conservative unahppy with the PPC, then you have four or five other Liberal choices to pick from.  It's a great time to be a Liberal in Canada, so many choices.....for Conservative minded Canadians, there's only one party with candidates in almost every riding.

Vaccine hesitant??? Why??? Fully Annotated Rant

You don't need faith or the Bible to realize that getting one of these injections is utterly brain dead stupid for the overwhelming majority of people. And that's especially true of parents who've allowed their children to be injected, which sadly includes my ex-wife.....

Why??? It's just a vaccination!!! Vaccinations are good!!!

Yeah, and pain killers are good, so load up on Oxycontin why dontcha. This lack of discernment, lumping any needle being shoved into your arm as all being the same thing......ugh.

So why are people doing it? The vast majority in fact! Why?

Here's a question. Why did almost all Austrians vote in favour of Germany annexing their country??? The answer to both questions is the same and it's propaganda.....not facts, propaganda. People fall for propaganda because the vast majority of the population is STUPID.

We're in a pandemic, you've read the papers, listened to media outlets, tuned into government appointed and approved experts.....you've heard several times over the past year and a half that this virus is OUTTA CONTROL, that IT'S SPREADING LIKE WILD FIRE!!! And you believed it. Austrians believed the propaganda too, that's why over 99% of them voted yes to being taken over by Nazi Germany.

We've had 1.52 million "cases" of Covid during the past eighteen months, that's cumulative....since the start. That is 4% of the entire Canadian population, meaning 96% of the people in this country haven't even tested positive for this bug.

YEAH BUT 1.52 million!!! That is still a lot of people!!!

That's why I put "cases" in quotations.

Tell me something Einstein. Name any virus in history where we've rammed an applicator up people's noses 40+ million times? I'm not making that number up, fact check it. Over 40 million times Canadians have been subjected to a test to see whether or not they have this bug. I'll save you the trouble, the answer is NEVER, we've never tested for anything the way we've tested for Covid.

And does the test even work? Can it distiguish between SARS-CoV-2 and other corornaviruses like the common cold?

Dr. Barbara Yaffe who is Ontario's associate chief officer of medical health said it quite plainly during a press conference with Doug Ford....no, not the one where a live mic caught her saying: "I don't know why I bring all these papers, I don't even read them, I just say whatever they put in front of me".

No not that one. This was during a press conference with Ford, Lecce and other members of Dougie's government.....in response to a reporter's question about proactively testing teachers she said the tests give off false positives: "Almost half the time, the person doesn't actually have Covid, they have something else, they may have nothing".

That's the test we're using.

But over 27,000 people have died because of this virus!!!

Give me a break.....27,000 who had a positive test died, but that does not mean 27,000+ people died BECAUSE of Covid.

Most of our deaths are in Long Term Care, Nursing Home type facilities....where people go when they're old sick and already in the active process of dying to begin with.....it's a weak and frail population. ANY virus floating around in LTC is going to be deadly with this patient population....in Ontario 61% of LTC residents are taking TEN OR MORE PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS!!!

I'm not making this stuff up.....check it out. Look at the profile of LTC residents in Ontario, it's on the Ontario Long Term Care Association's own web site!!! I even hyperlinked it. But you won't even look, people who ignorantly fall for propaganda never want to think for themselves or check things out. It's easier to just listen to some anchor on the evening news, they're so good looking and have such awesome hair.

Canada was forecast to have 7.803 deaths per thousand of population as per UN actuarial tables in 2020. That was the forecast BEFORE covid came along. Do the math....but I know you won't, like the Austrians who voted in favour of Hitler taking over their country you can't be bothered.....if it goes against the propaganda you've bought into then it must be false.....a conspiracy theory.

7.803 deaths per thousand of population for a population of 38 millions comes to about 293,000 deaths. That is what Canada was expected to have BEFORE this covid bug came on the scene. And how many did we have? According to preliminary numbers just over 300,000.....so we had about 7,000 excess deaths in 2020.

How many were Covid related though? Freedom of informtionan requests revealed that in 2020 over 2,000 Canadians died due to surgery, diagnostic scans and appointments with specialists being cancelled or delayed. Those aren't Covid deaths, they're deaths caused by government measures....the government that is supposed to care about the health and well being of Canadians made decisions which killed over 2,000 people.

How many people died of drug overdoses in this country in 2020? Ready for a shocker that surely slipped passed your propaganda soaked little brains? More Canadians died of drug overdoses than died WITH, (with, not from) Covid in 2020.

That's right, the total number of deaths chalked up to Covid for the year 2020 was 15,606......Drug overdoses blew that away at over 23,000.....and the Drug ODs weren't people living out their last days getting extensive help with dressing, feeding, toileting and bathing....no, the drug overdoses were mostly young people, often mere teenagers.....you know, the one's who's lives government measures destroyed.

Take away the emergency measures and Canada would have had less deaths in 2020 than we had with them....of that I have zero doubt. That's not being callous, it's simply reality. Most of the people dying with the cause listed as Covid were going to die regardless.....it's sad and depressing, but it's truth.

I know, you think I'm a monster...that even if emergency measures prevented one Covid death, then they were worth it. You're so indoctrinated with propaganda bullshit that you've lost the ability to even think for yourself now. By that logic we should ban swimming, because hundreds of Canadians drown every single year. We should ban travelling in vehicles because 1,000+ people die in car crashes and tens of thousands suffer serious injuries....

What's that ??? THOSE deaths are okay??? You are special aren't you.....BUT THIS IS A VIRUS!!!

Yeah, it's a virus, a weak ass little virus. If you've turned into a germaphobe over this bug buy a hazmat suit and bathe yourself in hand sanitizer.....

Now I'm going to take a small step back.....because I have never said this virus is not real, nor have I ever said that NOBODY has died from it. It is true, some people have genuinely died directly due to Covid.....they're just as dead as the kids overdosing and committing suicide, every bit as deceased as the people killed because the government wouldn't allow our health care system to save them.....

Key to fighting off any virus, Covid along with many others....one needs a strong immune system. And one way to weaken the human immune system is stress. Were Canadians more stressed out in 2020 than in previous years?

Let's see, financial stress from millions being tossed out of work or having their hours severely reduced. Stress from isolation brought on by stay at home measures. Stress from being in domestic situations where there is violence while booze is declared essential. I don't know any way to prove it empirically, but there is little doubt in my mind (zero in fact) that Canadians overall have never been more stressed than they have been during the past 18 months.

Some people do handle stress better than others, I take enormous comfort in my Christian faith, but this post is not about that.

Now, back to ranting.

So this is the bogus emergency......a mostly weak ass little virus, a mouse that was propagandized into a roaring lion by government officials and a compliant and government dependent media. No different from the bullshit story about Iraq's soldiers tossing babies from incubators in Kuwait (look it up)......the media did (and does) what it is told to do....especially when government and pharmaceutical giants are the ones paying them.

Without the emergency we wouldn't even need a vaccine, let alone vaccines that were rushed to market without proper long term safety testing. Injections using platforms (mRNA and Vector) that had never before gotten past the trial stages even after close to twenty years of trying.

But you were dumbed down into being scared, so you rolled up your sleeve, not just once but twice....and now with Israel talking about not just a third dose but a fourth as well, with more to follow every 6 to 12 months.....you've signed yourself up to be a pin cushion for the rest of your life.....however short that may be.

And you want me and everyone else to buy into your mass delusion? You want the government, media and corporate machine that has brainwashed you, you want them to bring in a passport system that will basically make you and employee of the state until you croak from a blood clot or because your ticker gets inflamed.

End of rant....

I know that a lot of my on-line friends, probably most, aren't Christians so I did my best to keep my spirtual beliefs out of this. You probably noticed more profanity here than I've used in the past 6 months combined.

Faith is personal and it's a choice and I thought I'd share these thoughts (it's what I do, it keeps me sane) without going into religious beliefs. I know that it does turn some people off and I get that, because I used to be the same way.

Peace.....and if you want to talk about faith, I do believe it is needed more now than ever. If you don't know Jesus and want to.....I promise you He is the one Person who will never fail you....don't look to me or anyone else.....in point of fact religion can be a barrier to relationship, and a relationship with Christ is what is absolutely needed because this life, however or whenever it ends.....it isn't THE end....it's just the start.

How to combat vaccine hesitancy? Stop censoring experts...

I don't consider myself vaccine hesitant, because I have had them all.  Looking at my immunization record book I see that I've had: Polio, MMR, dTap, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Meningitis, and while it's not listed I know I've also taken a shot for Tetanus.

The big one lacking of course is the Covid shot, or shots I guess.  

Why not?  There are a number of reasons actually.  

Firstly I've never been worried about this Covid bug, like a large segment of the population (many of whom have rolled up their sleeves regardless) I've never been concerned about contracting this virus.  I know the world is a dangerous place, there are influenzas, RSV, staph infections, streps, gastro intestinal bugs and on and on.  The world is full of pathogens, any one of which can be incredibly serious and sometimes fatal.  Younger healthy people die in this country all the time, it happened before Covid, and it will happen after Covid.  

Another reason is the speed at which they were developed.  While it's true that a number of roadblocks were removed, and vaccine developers went "all in" on the development of these shots, science hasn't solved the problem of speeding up the calendar.  Establishing a long term safety profile takes time, and none of the authorized shots has even completed its Phase 3 trial.  Moderna's is first up with an estimated study completion date in October of 2022, more than a year from today.

But probably the single biggest reason for my hesitancy is the censorship of basically anyone who dares to raise questions. I don't have a degree in any field of science or medicine, so I am not qualified to speak to this with any degree of expertise.  I have taken science courses at the University level, undergraduate studies, so I'm not completely scientifically illiterate, but I know I'm out of my depth. 

Someone like Dr. Robert Malone however is absolutely qualified.  Google is now the expert on everything that is true and false, of anything that qualifies as misinformation.  Fair enough, and according to Google Scholar Dr. Robert Malone is an inventor of both mRNA and DNA vaccines.  He has an impecable academic CV which includes highly respected schools like Northwestern and Harvard, and he worked at the prestigious Salk Institute.  

https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Jf1bApYAAAAJ&hl=en

But he is now censored and deplatformed due to his views on these vaccines.  His concerns over the potential for long term safety issues is banned with near Nazi type zeal.  One has to go to some alternative site like Rumble or Bitchute in order to hear him.  His video with Dr. Weinstein enumerating some of his concerns has been tossed down YouTube's memory hole.

Dr. Byram Bride, a viral immunologist with Guelph University is another.  He was considered esteemed enough that his lab at Guelph U was awarded $230,000 from Ontario's government to study four vaccines under development back in May of 2020.  Now he too is being censored, although having no real social media footprint to speak of deplatforming wasn't needed.  That didn't stop others from creating fake Twitter accounts that published dubious tweets in his name in an attempt to slander this respected academic.  

There's Dr. Michael Yeadon a former VP and a Chief Science Officer at Pfizer, Nobel Prize Winning Dr. Luc Montagnier, Dr. Francis Christian a highly esteemed surgeon from Saskatchewan, Dr. Hodkinson of Alberta a Cambridge educated recognized expert on pathology, Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche who's held senior roles in vaccine development with GSK, Novartis, GAVI and even with the Gates Foundation. 

And there are dozens more, maybe even hundreds....all being censored and deplatformed.  

If public health officials really want to combat vaccine hesitancy, then have an open public forum and invite some of these individuals to speak.  Rather than engaging in intellectually weak ad hominem attacks, confront their opinions and the data and facts they're presenting....rather than just censoring them for being guilty of thought crime.  

Science isn't really a thing, it's more of a process of evolving evidence.  What is believed to be true today can later be found to be false.  Lots of drugs are approved after being deemed safe and effective, only later to be taken off the market when dangers are discovered, some after 2 or 3 years, sometimes 5 years, and sometimes decades.  The older set knows about Thalidomide of course, but for many that's ancient history, something that could never happen again.  

Here's 10 that are far more recent for those who want to read some more.  Many post the year 2000.

Restoring Canadian Democracy - Are we winning or losing?

Are we winning or losing?

I just saw a post on Facebook from a friend in British Columbia, a simple proclomation of": "WE WON"!!! I was wondering if the Canadiens had managed a win against Tampa, or if it was a personal victory against a lockdown ticket.

From the comments I'm inferring that it's in reference to BC lifting the so called 'state of emergency' and ending things like masking mandates. Other parts of the country like where I am of course, we're still living with draconian and overreaching measures that violate both the constitution and the charter of rights and freedoms.

Any victory that restores our God given freedom should of course be welcomed, but we've been fighting battles that never should have been needed. Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms lays it out plainly in the preamble, one single sentence which says:

Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law....

The word "supremacy" means just that....supremacy, that God is Supreme. It strikes me that for the past 15 months (longer actually, but the past 15+ months in particular) we've ignored this simple fact.

Our freedom to assemble, worship, operate a lawful business, travel ....these are rights that come not from government, but from God. These rights can be limited the Charter says, in the case of a justifiable emergency....and back in March 2020 we were told that such an emergency was unfolding.

After hearing in January and February of 2020 that Covid was nothing to worry about, suddenly in March the script changed. Now we were told that 200,000 Canadians would be dying as a direct result of this virus in the first year, on top of the ususal deaths that occur. Instead of 295,000 deaths we'd be approaching half a million just in the first 12 months.

That was if we did nothing. But even with lockdown measures it was still going to be 100,000 excess deaths, directly caused by Covid in the first year. Even with shuttering, businesses, schools and vital life saving support services for the marginalized and vulnerable, even with all that we were going to be lining up eight deep to get a critical care bed in our ICUs.

Two weeks to flatten the curve?

Some of us knew that was never in the cards. Viruses spread, it's what they do, germs are ubiquitous. Closing everything down would invite the Zombie Apocolypse. Hosptials had to stay open, retirment homes and LTCs couldn't just be closed, Fire, police, sanitation, water treatment, the electrical grid and internet connectivity....all the workers in these industries would be out and about, transit and gas to get them to and from work was also needed.

A lot of dim bulbs have said we should have just shut everything down, forced everyone to stay in their homes. It's the kind of low resolution thinking usually expressed by double digit IQ types who think the supply chain is as simple as a light switch that you just flick off and then back on.....real life is obviously more complicated.

Besides, the science was wrong....incredibly wrong. SARS-CoV-2 we found out is not the major health threat it was made out to be. Overwhelmingly the only people getting seriously ill and dying were those who were already in that state to begin with.....people who would be compromised by ANY virus or bacterial infection.

That's borne out by the numbers. Roughly 16 months in and less than 4% of Canadians have even tested positive for this thing. Over a year down the road of living with a virus that is reported to be spreading like wildfire, and more than 95% of Canadians haven't even tested positive for it. And that's using a PCR tests that gives off false positives "nearly half the time" as per Ontario's Associate Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Barbara Yaffe.

There never was an emergency, but don't tell that to the Covid Karens and Karls who have been traumatized by fear. They're convinced the only reason they're still alive and breathing, that it's because we locked down....they can't let go. These mensa drop outs look at people lining up at a hot dog stand outside without masks on and they start hyperventalating.

Canada, like most of the western world was founded on what can broadly be termed the Judeo Christian ethic. On the belief that there is a God, and ulimate good. But we've been chipping away at the foundation of our society for decades. Lately it strikes me that we've taken a jack hammer to the very foundation of our society.

It's now believed by many that this earth, the universe as a whole, that it's simply a random accident. Science has put forth the theory of the big bang, of energy and matter just blub blub blub....floating around in space, and then by some accdident that life magically came into being.

It's interesting to me that people use science to contradict science. Louis Pasteur conducted experiments which have so far proven that spontaneous generation (life out of nothing) is impossible. Nobody has been able to disprove the fact that only life begats life. As for evolution, that flies in the face of the laws of thermodynamics respecting entropy....that things decay, devolution is what science says happens, not evolution.

But crazy or not, it's what many believe....our educational system has been indoctinating our youth for over 50 years with this thinking, and it's accelerating.

What does it mean if there is no God? If there is not God then logic dictates that there is no ultimate truth, no ultimate right and wrong. Human systems of law become fluid, there is nothing fixed. We're sailing in ancient times without the North Star to guide the the ship that is our society.

This is our new reality. Everyone is encouraged to find "THEIR" personal truth, because there is no unifying central truth anymore. And it makes us easy to manipulate, because rather than having that North Star to guide us we start worshipping individuals.....and human beings are anything but divine.

Today's saints are tomrrow's demons. Women who were venerated for advocating for the rights of women are now burned at the stake if they dare believe that a man can't declare himself a woman and use the women's locker room at the local fitness centre. A 5 year old boy who sees his mother and father paying more attention to a developmentally challanged sister can declare that he's a girl and society has to affirm his choice.

And now, if Dr. Theresa Tam says something, she has to be believed and followed with the same reverence that scriptural wisdom used to command. Every time she's wrong, she hides behind data and says "the science has changed, it's evolved" and society has been conditioned, like a Pavlovian dog, to salivate at her feet and listen to whatever bell she's ringing.

Have "we won"? Nope, we're losing and we're going to keep losing so long as we put our faith in flawed and corrupted government officials, and that includes health officials. The Dr Hinshaws, Yaffes, Williams, Henrys and all the rest.

It includes our judicial branch as well. Asked to provide proof of the state of emergency justifying these life destroying measures, the health officials have constantly refused, and the men and women behind the benches have bowed low and let them get away with it.

There is victory to be had in the end of course, but not by putting faith in flawed men and women, forget Trudeau and O'Toole....and Trump and his crew as well. Victory comes only through God, something society used to broadly accept and at least acknowledge, but not any more.

We haven't won, we've been granted a reprieve. Like that older sibling who delights in dunking you, forcing your head under water....then after struggling lets you up to grab a few mouthfuls of air before plunging you under again.

Ultimate victory only comes when we put ourselves into relationship with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It's something I'm still working at, and it isn't easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is.
