Freedom Lost – How to create a socialist state
BY SIMONE J. SMITH
“Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. Those who have known freedom, then lost it, have never known it again” Ronald Reagan
In the last few weeks, stories have been revealed to me that would scare people to death. Stories that would not make sense to many of us born and raised in the western world. We have experienced freedoms that are taken for granted, and I only know this after the many emails I have received; emails filled with fear about what is to come here in Canada.
Those who have lived through and under communism can instantly recognize any signs of communist ideology, no matter how subtle it is. To them, if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. One specific feature pointed out to me is this notion of being saved by the government. “If someone is trying to save me by telling me that I should wear a mask (against my constitutional rights as a human being), socially distance myself from my family, and control where I can go, when I can go there, I am instantly wary,” I was told by someone who grew up and left to come to Canada in hopes of never having to experience that lifestyle again.
Imagine what it must feel like for Canadians who have escaped communism, are now living in Canada, and see the same tactics, ideologies, and messages coming through the media. Things that they say and heard for years under communism, only now it was in English!
What a crazy year! There is so much to be afraid of. Deaths, new variants, concern for our families, our livelihoods; there is just enough to distract us from the political disruption that is occurring.
There was an academic paper produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (May, 2020) concluding that deaths caused by the 1918 influenza pandemic “Profoundly shaped German society,” in subsequent years and contributed to the strengthening of the Nazi Party.
The Nazis benefited from the social dislocations of the 1918-20 pandemic because there was no such electoral boost for any other extremist parties. They had systematically been spoon-feeding the nation small doses of socialism until when people finally began to wake up, they were now living in a communist society.
With the political and economic disruption that COVID-19 has generated, stories are being revealed from individuals who are seeing how our nation is being spoon-fed. This highlights the enduring social risks that are to come with this Covid-19 pandemic.
“There is a level of admiration I actually have for China, Ahh, because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
The first red flag; when the leader of your country is in awe of the leaders of a communist country. The aspect that most concerns someone like myself, and many other freethinking journalists is the communist-style media control that is being erected here in Canada. Within a communist nation, government control is paramount. There needs to be a: control of education, control of media, control of religion, control of sexuality–control of every aspect of society. How is this control inserted and maintained; good old fashion propaganda.
When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the German constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press, just like the freedoms we currently have in Canada. Through decrees and laws, the Nazis abolished these civil rights and destroyed German democracy. Throughout this pandemic, Canadian democracy has been disrupted, and the Canadian Constitution of Rights and Freedoms almost seems as if it does not exist.
Starting in 1934, it was illegal to criticize the Nazi government. Fast forward to 2021, if you write, or say anything that is against what the standing government states, you are considered a threat to society, or a conspiracy theorist. You are condemned for not caring about others if you do not do exactly what the government tells you to do. What has also become standard is this idea of cancel culture, and censorship.
Individuals like Del BigTree, Alex Jones, David Icke have all been demonized and had their social media accounts removed. Why? Well, because the message that they are delivering to the public is not in line with the approved upon narrative (propaganda).
In the next few months, what the Canadian government is proposing to do is: controlling what news appears in newspapers, on the radio, and in newsreels. There is already a glorification of China happening at the very top of our political food chain, and negative images and ideas about anyone opposing the COVID-19 restrictions are being flooded through mainstream media.
It is reasonable for you, our readers to understand that political shifts such as the one we are experiencing happens in stages:
Stage 1: Polarize the Nation (Divide and Conquer)
First, you introduce injustice. One group of people – poor workers – are made to feel victimized by a second group, to the point that they demand civil discourse.
During this first stage, there is a focus on altruistic people – people with big hearts, full of good intentions, who believe in doing good, for goodness’ sake.
It is one of the reasons why we have to be understanding of some of our politicians. They truly mean well but are naïve, and their good nature makes them easy to manipulate. These people are essential to the success of the New World Order that we have all been hearing about.
Stage 2: Destabilize Society
During the second stage, the basic values of society are targeted for change. Guess where they start the change? In the education system. What was shared with me was that a communist government will always use teachers and the education system to impose its ideology, and promote its values.
Students are constantly reminded of how we live in the “Best political system in the world,” the “Country with the best social justice and equality.” Teachers participate in this process, knowingly, or unknowingly. Remember, they use people who have good intentions, who believe in doing good. What they don’t realize is that they are exploiting a child’s emotional immaturity, lack of experience, and lack of reasoning ability.
My primary responsibility in the community is working with family and students. When I have students sharing with me why they hate Donald Trump, or why anti-maskers are bad because their teachers told them that, it sheds light on this entire situation. It is happening very subtly, but it is happening.
Stage 3: Revolution of the people
After some time, the current government begins to gain the support of a majority of the people. This has happened. In Canada, they have given up their freedom, and have blindly obeyed all COVID-19 protocols without doing their own research or questioning what they are being told to do.
Small business owners are being squeezed dry, leaving room for larger conglomerates to take over. For example, with this new essential only, wherein certain businesses, they have to section off these items, and people are not allowed to buy them. I most recently wrote an article about who determined what was essential for people. I have received tremendous feedback, and open dismay at the fact that if you go into Metro, Longo’s or Shoppers Drug Mart, all the items deemed non-essential are open for people to purchase.
What about the leaders who are responsible for imposing all of these new laws, and ushering in what to some is seen as communist power. Well, let’s take a look at what is happening with Premier Doug Ford now. Just like that, Ontarians are beginning to show their distaste for what he has done to the people of Ontario. It seems that Premier Ford in now enslaved into the ideology he was pushing, and is on television crying. Now you are crying?
The primary tool being used is F.E.A.R. FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL.
There is a fear of being ostracized, canceled, laughed at, de-monetized, or demonized. Fear is the primary tool for keeping people silent and obedient. As Canadians, we need to take a moment, step back and really look at what is happening.

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
BY ADRIAN REECE
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.

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.
