Let me tell you, I was way too excited for this night! Boxing events are always a vibe, and you know I had to make sure I looked the part. I am a girly girl through and through, so picking out the perfect outfit? That was a whole process! I needed something stylish, yet comfortable, because boxing events are always so mad extra! Plus, I was going to see some amazing people I had not caught up with forever.

That’s right, boxing fans. The date was circled in red on my calendar—Friday, September 20^th, 2024. United Boxing Promotions was finally back after a summer break, ready to bring us the highly anticipated fight between Chakria Singh and Lukasz Maciec. I want to take a moment before going any further to introduce the incredible sponsors: Pickering Casino Resort, Verdi Alliance, Grant’s Gym Toronto, G & J Sehota’s, CM Dynamics, and Durham LIVE.

The night had everything—hype, top-tier matchups, and all the energy of a proper boxing night in the GTA, and this time, I was finally going to be a part of it all! The fun, the excitement, and the buzz of live boxing—it was all happening, and I was so ready!

United Boxing Promotions fight night at the Pickering Casino Resort, was going to be headlined by reigning IBF International Champion Sukhdeep ‘Chakria’ Singh (18-0, 8 KO, IBF #14) against former Polish Champion Lukasz ‘Crazy Cat’ Maciec (29-7-1, 5 KO).

Yes, yes, I had to tackle the dreaded Highway 401 from out west, so of course, the security team from United Boxing Promotions clowned me for being late and missing the Evan Gillard vs Matias Medina fight. Thankfully, I was just in time for the Milad Zareuab (3 – 0) vs Hubert Krasuski (1 – 5 – 1) fight.

Even though Milad Zareuab is relatively new to the boxing world, his progression from fight to fight is evident. One thing I must credit him for is his ability to listen to his corner. His adaptability and willingness to learn demonstrate the importance of being a good student in the sport of boxing. Milad’s recent victory, achieved through a TKO, is a testament to his growth and dedication, adding yet another win to his record.

Then there was Kyle McLaughlin (5 – 0 – 1) vs Fernando Bravo (4 – 2 – 1), and what a fight that was. When Kyle McLaughlin stepped into the ring, his stature may have been smaller, but don’t let that fool you. There is an aura that radiates off him—a presence that demands attention, and tonight, that presence was amplified as he made his entrance to Jidenna’s ‘Long Live the Chief.‘ The song speaks volumes about leadership, power, and dominance, and McLaughlin embodied every word.

It was clear from the moment the music hit: he wasn’t just stepping into the ring; he was stepping in as the boss. You could feel the intensity shift. His opponent, like everyone in the room, knew that McLaughlin was there to conquer, and conquer he did. From the first round to the last, Kyle delivered a brutal, relentless assault. Punch after punch—each one calculated, each one landing with precision. His aggressive display left no room for doubt. It wasn’t just about winning; it was about domination. By the time the final blow landed, it was over. His opponent was left crippled, and Kyle stood tall. It was, without a doubt, my favourite fight of the night. Kyle McLaughlin proved, once again, that size doesn’t define power. Tonight, he was the chief.

The Championship Co-Feature saw number one ranked contender Melinda ‘The Whip’ Watpool (7-0, 2 KO, WBA #1) clash with Natasha ‘The Nightmare’ Spence (8-6-2, 6 KO, WBA #8) for the WBA International Middleweight Championship. I wanted to take a moment to express my disappointment.

As a fellow Jamaican-Canadian, I had high hopes for Natasha. I have had the privilege of speaking with her about the challenges she has faced in securing fights and the perseverance she’s shown throughout her career. I was genuinely rooting for her, hoping to see her at the top of her game, delivering a performance that would make us all proud. However, from the very beginning of the match, it became clear that Melinda was in control. Her dominance was evident, and it was disheartening to see Natasha struggle to find her rhythm. We all know that boxing can be unpredictable, but this was not the showcase I hoped for.

Despite the outcome, I believe in Natasha’s potential. She is shown resilience in the face of adversity, and I hope she takes this experience back to the drawing board. With renewed confidence and determination, I trust she can come back stronger than ever. We need to keep supporting her on this journey, because I believe she has what it takes to rise again.

Finally, what the fight fans were waiting for, the fight between the reigning IBF International Champion Sukhdeep ‘Chakria’ Singh (19-0, 8 KO, IBF #14) against former Polish Champion Lukasz ‘Crazy Cat’ Maciec (29-8-1, 5 KO). As usual, Sukhdeep ‘Chakria’ Singh burst onto the scene, a true spectacle of flames and flags, embodying the spirit of Sikh pride. The energy in the arena was electric as he stepped into the ring, ready to showcase his skills.

Sukhdeep stood confidently across from his opponent, who looked tense. The bell rang, and the fight began. In the ring, Sukhdeep methodically picked his opponent apart, delivering calculated blows that made his rival suffer with each strike. It’s a masterclass in technique and strategy. What sets Sukhdeep apart is his adaptability. Like Milad, he listens to his corner, adjusting his game plan with every round. He reads the fight like a chess match, always two steps ahead.

Here’s the thing—I want to see a huge finish from Sukhdeep. I appreciate his technical prowess, but as any true fight fan knows, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of a knockout! That’s what gets the fans on their feet! If you don’t believe me, just look at the electrifying clash between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. The tension, the power, the drama! That’s the kind of finish that leaves everyone talking.

Let’s hope Sukhdeep can deliver that explosive moment. The fans are ready for it, and so is he. The stage is set for something spectacular. Stay tuned, because when Sukhdeep steps up, anything can happen, and when it does, you won’t want to miss a second of it!

Ontario boxing fans are in for an electrifying fall with United Boxing Promotions delivering an action-packed lineup! On October 19^th, 2024, the highly anticipated IBF International Welterweight Championship showdown between the undefeated Josh Wagner (18-0) and formidable contender Tom Hill (12-3-0) is set to headline the night.

Adding to the excitement, the co-main event features Mark Smithers (12-1-0) battling Helmand Meran Alekozai (14-0) for the Canadian Super Lightweight Championship. The undercard promises more fireworks, with Jamaicans: Ricardo Brown and Joshua Frazer, Gisu Lee at super featherweight, and Michael Cabato in a thrilling featherweight bout.

Greetings everyone.

It is always fascinating, isn’t it? How some things dominate the news, get talked about endlessly on our social media feeds, debated over dinner tables, and dissected in countless articles and op-eds, but what about the things that do not make headlines? What about the decisions that happen quietly, in the background, while we are busy discussing everything else?

This edition, I want to shed light on something that has been happening right under our noses. A bill, being crafted, debated, and—unless we take action—soon to be passed by the Canadian government, without most of us even knowing it exists. By the time it hits the public radar, it might just be too late.

Now, I know some of you may be thinking, “What bill? I haven’t heard about any major legislation.” That is exactly the point. While we are kept busy with all the newsworthy controversies, this bill is being shaped in the shadows.

Why hasn’t this bill gotten the same attention? Why isn’t it making headlines? Is it not important enough, or is there something else at play? What this bill will do is undermine Canadian sovereignty by shifting power to unelected, non-Canadian organizations like the WHO and WEF.

You see, it is always the quiet ones, the bills that fly under the radar, that often carry the biggest consequences. The laws that: reshuffle power dynamics, alter rights, or change the very fabric of our society without any of us having a say. By the time we are aware, the decisions have been made, the ink has dried, and we’re left wondering, “How did this happen?”

So today, as I share the details of this bill, I want you to think critically. Ask yourselves why it has not been brought to our attention sooner. Why has it been kept quiet? Most importantly, what can we do as a community to ensure that we are no longer kept in the dark?

It is a move that willfully hands over control of your food, your privacy, and your rights to globalist agendas. You have likely heard of the hard work Citizengo is doing around the world to stop the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Pandemic Treaty.  A treaty that would have countries sign away their national sovereignty and become servantent states under unelected globalist rule, whenever and however the next “pandemic” is called. If this goes through we will see the World Health Organization’s “One Health Initiative” rolled out in Canada. This has dire consequences and will essentially usher in a technocratic surveillance state under the guise of safety and preparedness.

What if I told you that Canada, thanks to Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and Jagmeet Singh’s New Democratic Party, have already hatched a plan to surrender our national sovereignty to their authoritarian globalist friends. Let me introduce you to Bill C-293, the Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act, introduced by Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith. Currently, the bill is awaiting its 2^nd Reading in The Senate, under the very noses of every-single Canadian, and this is news for some of our readers right now.

I only just learned about this Pandemic Treaty Bill myself when the team at CitizenGo reached out to me. Shortly thereafter, LifeSiteNews released their article, and I was truly shocked by what I read. “Included in Bill C-293 are provisions to ‘regulate commercial activities that can contribute to pandemic risk, including industrial animal agriculture,’ produce ‘alternative proteins,’ and ‘enable contact tracing of persons.”

In other words, if Bill C-293 passes, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), The World Health Organization (WHO), The World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and other unelected globalist international bodies will have unprecedented control over Canada’s sovereignty.

If this bill is allowed to ascend into Canadian law, the federal government would have to listen to these globalist agencies “guidelines” in regulating our agriculture industry all under the guise of something called “pandemic prevention.”

Guess what else falls under this vague label? Promoting alternative proteins like insects while phasing out traditional meat production. Even more alarming, the bill allows for contact tracing, raising serious privacy concerns and enabling government overreach. How many more digital applications are you going to have to pay for, like ArriveCAN, if you decide to travel abroad, or even throughout Canada?

Here’s how Canadian sovereignty will be lost:

• Global Regulation of Industrial Agriculture will target meat production and give international bodies influence over what Canadians can produce and consume.
• Promoting Alternative Proteins through the pushing of lab-grown meats and insect farms designed to devastate local farmers and meat producers.
• Implementing Contact Tracing to intrude upon every aspect of your life. Without privacy, digital IDs and contact tracing tools grant significant power to the government to control individuals’ behaviour, including where you can go through the usage of mandatory lockdowns and “social distancing” style policies.
• Ceding Control to Global Institutions were Canada’s pandemic response and industries would be 100% subjected to international oversight, ending our national autonomy as a democratic nation that values individuals’ Human Rights and Freedoms.

The Senate was set to resume its business on September 17^th, 2024, but here is the reality: this is not an accident. Certain policies are designed to be kept quiet, tucked away, and only brought to light when there is no turning back. Whether it is the complexity of the bill, or the deliberate silence around it, it is clear—the less we know, the less we can protest.

It is not just this one bill. It is a pattern. While we are being distracted by the flashy stories, we miss the subtler, yet often more impactful, moves happening right beneath the surface. What is the strategy behind this? Silence. Secrecy. Control. Before we know it, we are living with the consequences of decisions we never had a chance to discuss, let alone oppose.

Now, I am not here to incite fear. I’m here to inspire awareness, because we still have a say. We still have time. We must start paying attention to these quieter moves by our government. We need to ask the hard questions, demand transparency, and hold those in power accountable for the decisions they make in the shadows.

If we don’t, we’ll continue to wake up to laws that we had no idea were even in the works. We’ll continue to have: rights, freedoms, and choices taken away without our consent. And that, my friends, is a dangerous place to be.

Democracy doesn’t just live in the loud, public moments—it thrives when we shine a light on the quiet ones too.

Bill C-293 (International Pandemic Treaty) Revisited: Concerns Raised Over Food Supply

BY STEVEN KASZAB

Victims of the opioid epidemic have been shouting aloud to the: authorities, addiction/mental health emergency providers, and local governments for help. Asking, pleading, and when action does not happen quick enough protesting the apparent inaction of those who are supposed to be protecting society. There will always be excuses as to why those who manufacture and sell these drugs are not in prison right now. Their legal rights, the police’s inability to soundly find proof necessary to have them arrested, the federal government cannot stop the importation of these illegal drugs illegally, nor the domestic manufacturing of this poison. Aboriginal Rights, personal and privacy rights, international domains, lack of response from India and China’s Security Apparatus in stopping those in their country.

It comes down to the question, if you are addicted to drugs, are you of sound mind and body? Can you think for yourself, or must a public judicator force the addict into rehabilitative care? Often war does not have rules, and the war on drugs has been one sided for a very long time. Those nations that allow illicit drugs to be made in their territory, or transported from should feel the effects of powerful embargos. Let the Foreign Affairs Office do something useful by placing: Mexico, China, Columbia, Burma, and others on an embargo list not allowing them to ship or sell their products to Canada.

Long ago sanitariums were set aside, considered politically incorrect. Now, these same institutions of medical rehabilitation are necessary to hold involuntarily addicts for a three-to-six-month period, where their healthcare, mental health, and addiction therapy can be carried out. Inviting the church organizations to assist with their historical experience can be an asset.

Our society must take the war seriously, or hundreds of thousands of our citizens will perish. Take no prisoners, as those who manufacture and sell this poison know exactly: what they are doing, who they are harming, and what the end game truly will be.

For all those who have not seen someone dying of addiction, being poisoned long term, or it was their very first try…wake up. Decide whose side you are on, the victims and their families, the society you live in that is possibly the best that can exist, or you’re on the side of evil, people who make a living by poisoning and killing others.

Choose, and choose well.
