Canada; a Vassal State? Has Canada become a permissive target for China’s interference?

Published

BY SIMONE J. SMITH

“Which nation, besides Canada, administration do you most admire and why?”

“There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China, because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and saying, ‘We need to go greenest fastest, we need to start, you know, investing in solar.’”

This comment by our very own Justin Trudeau is going to become relevant to you as you read this article, and I will warn you now; it should worry you!

World government actions subtly shape how their citizens think, speak, and act, thereby influencing where we place our trust, hope, and expectations. The authority to enforce laws carries certain implicit powers: the power to promote certain causes, prioritize certain risks, endorse certain values and beliefs, uphold certain standards, encourage certain expectations, and define and interpret certain terms.

World governments also have the power to influence our expectations and outlook on important social questions, such as where to seek assistance for material needs; whom to blame in times of crisis; and what people are entitled to by right (privacy, great healthcare, abortions). A healthy democracy is one in which citizens give the government only the loyalty it deserves without diminishing their trust in, or allegiance to other institutions and authorities, but how can we do this if the democratic system we have built trust in is being infiltrated by foreign entities?

“This is far larger. The government of China is an existential threat to Canada on multiple levels and we need to come to grips with that.” – MP John McKay

Canadian Politicians are Speaking Out

A bombshell response was given by MP McKay after revelations of interference in the past elections. In his statement, he was not talking about the good people from China, Chinese Canadians, or even the local people who are being named in top secret documents being leaked to certain Canadian media. He’s talking about the communist party that runs China.

“I think we need as a nation to come to grips with the desire of the government of China to turn us all into vassal states,” said McKay.

When I looked up vassal state in the dictionary, It was described as a “state that is subordinate to another” where a “government is chiefly directed by the interest of an overlord and patron state.”

Hmmmmm! This doesn’t sound good.

On March 12th, 2023, MP Pierre Poilievre also spoke out against what he had been learning.

“Beijing is using police stations in Canada to intimidate and spy on Chinese Canadians. What has Trudeau done about this bullying by a foreign authoritarian regime on our own soil? Absolutely nothing. Not a single Beijing diplomat has been expelled.”

Last week, I received an email from Ontario Party’s Leader Derek Sloan’s office. In it he shared with us some interesting news.

“We now have a name in the leaked allegations of at least one candidate the Communist Chinese government helped – MP for Don Valley North – Han Dong.

According to these allegations, the Chinese consulate bussed loads of seniors and foreign students to the nomination for Han Dong, telling the students to vote for Dong if they wanted to maintain their visa status. CSIS apparently asked Trudeau to rescind Dong’s nomination due to foreign interference. Trudeau refused.”

Sloan also shared that a House of Commons committee is already investigating election interference, even though certain Liberals are blocking release of some information. These allegations are evidence of things we have known for a long time – namely that the Communist Chinese government has designs on Canada, and their influence reaches far and wide.

A greater concern beyond the actual interference is the fact that a community of residents legally permitted to be in Canada could be mobilized by a foreign government. This is an issue that must be addressed with immigration policy and issuance of student Visas.

China’s Systematic Take-over

China’s show of strength was just the latest diplomatic triumph in Beijing’s drive to sway the system of international organizations in its direction. Earlier victories put Beijing in position to shape international norms and standards, notably with air travel under the Chinese-led International Civil Aviation Organization.

Beijing is pushing its civil servants to the helm of U.N. institutions that set global standards for air travel, telecommunications and agriculture. Gaining influence at the U.N. has allowed China to stifle international scrutiny of its behavior at home and abroad. In March 2019, Beijing won a seat on a five-member panel that selects U.N. rapporteurs on human-rights abuses—officials who used to target Beijing for imprisoning more than a million Uighurs at so-called re-education camps in Xinjiang.

Let’s bring it back to the influence they have over Canada. Beginning in the 1960s, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was enamored with the mystique of China’s dictatorship during the murderous Great Leap Forward, which killed as many as 45 million people. It was described by the Washington Post as the “Biggest mass murder in the history of the world.”

Most recently (November 2022), World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab sat down for an interview with Chinese Communist Party-owned broadcaster CGTN. In the interview he commended China’s achievements, and suggested the nation could be a “role model” for others around the world.

“I respect China’s achievements … over the last forty years,” Schwab stated matter of factly. He referred to them as “tremendous.” He suggested that China could act as a “Role model for many countries,” admitting that in the end, each country should be left to make its own decision regarding the system it wants to adopt.

“We should be very careful in imposing systems,” he said at the end of the video, “But the Chinese model is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries.”

I want to be very clear about something here; we must overstand that when important levels of governmental institutions are controlled, they influence norms, they influence ways of thinking, they influence international policy, they inject your way of thinking.

The real threat is that China is going to use multilateral institutions to advance their own initiatives and their own values as compared to the values of Canadians.

The Chinese embassy has of course denied any role in manipulating Canadian elections.

China has taken over the Caribbean

On 7th July 2022, VICE News released an eye-opening video report exposing how China’s rapidly growing presence in South America has reached Guyana.  They went undercover to expose allegations of corruption in business deals between the two countries.

China’s investment in Latin America and the Caribbean has four-folded since 2005, reaching over $16 billion, with $130 billion in loans by Chinese banks.

China has been investing heavily in infrastructure projects around the world, and one of its latest endeavors is a $760 million North-South highway in Jamaica. This ambitious project connects the country’s capital, Kingston, to the tourism hub of Ocho Rios in the north, and is expected to greatly enhance transportation and trade in the region. The project has faced criticism and concerns over the environmental impact and potential debt implications for the Jamaican government.

On The Breakfast Club, Dr. Umar Johnson spoke to the fact that Jamaica will be the first Chinese colony in the Caribbean. The Chinese run businesses in Jamaica and other Black countries, but they do not pay taxes to Jamaica. There are reports of them transferring their wealth off to China or UK or European banks like Swiss Banks.

We know that the Chinese have been residing in Jamaica for decades, but they don’t like African-Caribbean people and don’t mix with us. Who owns all of the sugar factories in Jamaica? They live among native Jamaicans, but they don’t buy from them or treat them well. They don’t buy from native Jamaicans, but the native’s buy from them.

There have been recent videos with evidence of their racist behaviors against Africans residing in China, where they have thrown them out of their homes onto the streets despite having paid their rent and mortgages for their accommodation.

They block Africans from going into their shops and refuse to serve them. These horrendous acts have been captured in many videos. The Chinese, in many African countries, have been caught on camera flogging Africans in their own countries.

Let’s not forget the fact that China also has artfully displayed offensive pictures displayed on billboards on their streets and in museums depicting Africans as monkeys and apes. Why do we continue to allow this atrocious behavior to continue?

I guess my final question for readers is, has Canada become another attractive and permissive target for Chinese interference? If so, how many of us realize that this endangers the foundations of our fundamental institutions, including our system of democracy itself?

We, as humans are guaranteed certain things in life: stressors, taxes, bills and death are the first thoughts that pop to mind.

Forgetting isn’t just something to be annoyed about, it’s a smart way to survive

Have you ever forgotten someone’s name, or where you left your phone and thought, “Why can’t I remember anything?” Forgetting might feel frustrating, but it turns out that forgetting things can actually be good for you. Experts believe forgetting might be an important part of human survival and could even have benefits.

You probably think that remembering everything would be better, right? If you remembered every tiny detail, like what you had for breakfast three weeks ago, or the colour of every car you saw today, you would be overwhelmed. Our brains are constantly receiving information, and if we didn’t forget some of it, we wouldn’t be able to focus on what really matters at that time.

Forgetting helps you clear out information you don’t need, and it helps your brain remember the most useful memories. Think about how hard it would be to focus on important things if your mind was filled with random thoughts. Forgetting helps you stay focused and keeps your mind from getting lost.

So, why would evolution make us forget things? Early humans had to deal with dangerous environments that changed quickly. They needed to remember things that helped them survive, like where to find food, or how to avoid predators. They didn’t need to remember every small detail, like what happened last week. Forgetting information, they didn’t need allowed them to make quick decisions based on what was most important at that moment in time.

For example, if you remember a recent storm, you might make sure to stay inside or find shelter. If you remembered every storm you’d ever seen, it would be harder to make decisions about the present. Forgetting irrelevant details helps you stay on your feet and helps you react faster to new situations. This ability to forget likely helped early humans survive and make better decisions in their everyday lives.

Next time you forget something, don’t be too hard on yourself! Forgetting is a natural part of how our brains work and can actually help you stay focused on the important things. It might seem annoying at times, but it’s helping you make better decisions. Forgetting isn’t just something to be annoyed about, it’s a smart way to survive in a world that’s always changing!

Blink equity dives deep into the gap between people of colour and decision-making roles in Canadian law firms

Representation in the workforce has been a topic of conversation for years, particularly in positions of influence, where people can shift laws and create fair policies for all races. Representation in the legal system is an even more talked about subject, with many Black men being subjected to racism in courts and not being given fair sentencing by judges.

The fear of Black men entering the system is something that plagues mothers and fathers as they watch their children grow up.

Blink Equity, a company led by Pako Tshiamala, has created an audit called the Blink Score. This audit targets law firms and seeks to identify specific practices reflecting racial diversity among them in Toronto. A score is given based on a few key performance indicators. These KPIs include hiring practices, retention of diverse talent, and racial representation at every level.

The Blink Score project aims to analyze law firms in Ontario with more than 50 lawyers. The Blink Score is a measurement tool that holds law firms accountable for their representation. Firms will be ranked, and the information will be made public for anyone to access.

This process is ambitious and seeks to give Canadian citizens a glimpse into how many people are represented across the legal field. While more and more people have access to higher education, there is still a gap between obtaining that higher education and working in a setting where change can be made. The corporate world, at its highest points, is almost always one race across the board, and very rarely do people of colour get into their ranks. They are made out to be an example of how anyone from a particular race can achieve success. However, this is the exception, not the rule. Nepotism plays a role in societal success; connections are a factor, and loyalty to race, even if people are acquainted.

People of colour comprise 16% of the total lawyers across the province. Positions at all levels range from 6% to 27%. These numbers display the racial disparity among law practitioners in positions of influence. Becoming a lawyer is undoubtedly a huge accomplishment. Still, when entering the workforce with other seasoned professionals, your academic accolades become second to your professional achievements and your position in the company.

What do these rankings ultimately mean? A potential for DEI-inclusive practices, perhaps? That isn’t something that someone would want in this kind of profession. This kind of audit also opens law firms up to intense criticism from people who put merit above all other aspects of professional advancement. On the other hand, there is a potential for firms to receive clientele based on their blink score, with higher ones having the chance to bring in more race-based clients who can help that law firm grow.

It is only the beginning, and changes will undoubtedly be made in the legal field as Blink Equity continues to dive deep into the gap between people of colour and decision-making roles in these law firms. This audit has the power to shift the power scale, and place people of colour in higher positions. There are hierarchies in any profession, and while every Lawyer is qualified to do what they are trained to do, it is no shock that some are considerably better than others at their jobs. The ones who know how to use this audit to their advantage will rise above the others and create a representative image for themselves among their population.

“The Pfizer Papers!” Documentation of worldwide genocide

Published

on

BY SIMONE J. SMITH

We are living in a world where promises of health and safety came packaged in a tiny vial, one injection was promoted by powerful governments, supported by respected institutions, and championed by legacy media worldwide. Sadly, beneath the surface, a darker truth emerged.

Reports from around the globe began to tell a different story—one that was not covered in the news cycles or press conferences. Families torn apart by unexpected losses, communities impacted in ways that few could have foreseen, and millions questioning what they had been told to believe.

Those who dared to question were silenced or dismissed (the Toronto Caribbean Newspaper being one of those sources). “Trust the science,” we were told. “It’s for the greater good.” As time went on, the truth became impossible to ignore.

Now, I bring more news to light—information that demands your attention and scrutiny. The time to passively listen has passed; this is the moment to understand what’s really at stake.

I reviewed an interview with Naomi Wolf, journalist and CEO of Daily Clout, which detailed the serious vaccine-related injuries that Pfizer and the FDA knew of by early 2021, but tried to hide from the public. I was introduced to “The Pfizer Papers: Pfizer’s Crimes Against Humanity.” What I learned is that Pfizer knew about the inadequacies of its COVID-19 vaccine trials and the vaccine’s many serious adverse effects, and so did the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA promoted the vaccines anyway — and later tried to hide the data from the public.

To produce “The Pfizer Papers,” Naomi, and Daily Clout Chief Operations Officer Amy Kelly convened thousands of volunteer scientists and doctors to analyze Pfizer data and supplementary data from other public reporting systems to capture the full scope of the vaccines’ effects. They obtained the data from the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, a group of more than 30 medical professionals and scientists who sued the FDA in 2021 and forced the agency to release the data, after the FDA refused to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request.

It was then that the federal court ordered the agency to release 450,000 internal documents pertaining to the licensing of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. The data release was significantly and the documents so highly technical and scientific that according to Naomi, “No journalist could have the bandwidth to go through them all.”

The “Pfizer Papers” analysts found over 42,000 case reports detailing 158,893 adverse events reported to Pfizer in the first three months The centerpiece of “The Pfizer Papers” is the effect that the vaccine had on human reproduction. The papers reveal that Pfizer knew early on that the shots were causing menstrual issues. The company reported to the FDA that 72% of the recorded adverse events were in women. Of those, about 16% involved reproductive disorders and functions. In the clinical trials, thousands of women experienced: daily bleeding, hemorrhaging, and passing of tissue, and many other women reported that their menstrual cycle stopped completely.

Pfizer was aware that lipid nanoparticles from the shots accumulated in the ovaries and crossed the placental barrier, compromising the placenta and keeping nutrients from the baby in utero. According to the data, babies had to be delivered early, and women were hemorrhaging in childbirth.

Let us take us to another part of the world, where research has been done on other pharmaceutical companies. A group of Argentine scientists identified 55 chemical elements — not listed on package inserts — in the: Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, CanSino, Sinopharm and Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccines (according to a study published last week in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research).

The samples also contained 11 of the 15 rare earth elements (they are heavier, silvery metals often used in manufacturing). These chemical elements, which include lanthanum, cerium and gadolinium, are lesser known to the general public than heavy metals, but have been shown to be highly toxic. By the end of 2023, global researchers had identified 24 undeclared chemical elements in the COVID-19 vaccine formulas.

Vaccines often include excipients — additives used as preservatives, adjuvants, stabilizers, or for other purposes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), substances used in the manufacture of a vaccine, but not listed in the contents of the final product should be listed somewhere in the package insert. Why is this important? Well, researchers argue it is because excipients can include allergens and other “hidden dangers” for vaccine recipients.

In one lot of the AstraZeneca vaccine, researchers identified 15 chemical elements, of which 14 were undeclared. In the other lot, they detected 21 elements of which 20 were undeclared. In the CanSino vial, they identified 22 elements, of which 20 were undeclared.

The three Pfizer vials contained 19, 16 and 21-23 undeclared elements respectively. The Moderna vials contained 21 and between 16-29 undeclared elements. The Sinopharm vials contained between 17-23 undeclared elements and the Sputnik V contained between 19-25 undetected elements.

“All of the heavy metals detected are linked to toxic effects on human health,” the researchers wrote. Although the metals occurred in different frequencies, many were present across multiple samples.

I am not going to go any further with this; I think you get the picture. We have been sold wolf cookies, very dangerous ones. These pharmaceutical companies must be held accountable. I am proud of anyone who has gone after them for retribution, and have received it. Regardless, in many ways, there is no repayment for a healthy life.
