Now we’ll see if the Gov and sheriff ignore the ruling and retaliate to try and stop the flood of lawsuits that should allow gyms to open fully because of this ruling.
Wish someone in Ontario would pursue the closed gym issue in court. Closing gyms is very short sighted.
Closing anything is beyond short sighted, it denotes total and complete blindness as well as stupidity.
Kind of you to suggest foolishness instead of malice. Can’t create conditions for a revolution without a critical number of discontent people and taking away a person’s exercise endorphin high makes them very grumpy.
FWIW
“Trump lawyer Lin Wood goes full on after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts”
“That’s the ‘same guy’ on Epstein Island with our choice for ‘the most compromised judge in the world’. You know, John Roberts, Chief Justice of the corrupted Supreme Court of the United States.”
In yesterday’s “Readers Tips” thread, we started to post portions of last Saterday’s Globe and Mail article, exposing the stark corruption at Public Health Canada. SDA readers who missed reading the two portions pasted into yesterday’s thread might want to read Part I and Part II first.
Here in Part III investigative writer Grant Robertson describes how senior bureaucrats, without medical backgrounds, began to push out senior officials with advanced medical training in pandemic research. He also introduces readers to one Elizabeth Gooding, one of the former:
Globe article: Part 3
” Doctors and epidemiologists said they found themselves outranked by bureaucrats who held organizational clout over important decisions, including department priorities, strategy and budgeting. This led to tension, particularly as senior government officials began to replace public-health experts in key roles, including on international panels.
Such panels involve trips to Europe, Asia and elsewhere – perks that came to be seen within the agency as the domain of senior civil servants, rather than rank-and-file experts.
Department records illustrate one example of this trend. In September, 2018, a Canadian specialist on outbreak surveillance systems was invited by the WHO to attend a high-level gathering of pandemic preparedness experts in Geneva. The summit, whose purpose was “to advance our collective efforts for the early detection, verification and assessment of health risks,” was to be held over three days, with costs covered by the WHO.
In its invitation, the WHO went so far as to detail the type of people it wanted at the discussion. Specifically, it needed first-hand expertise. “This is a technical meeting and workshop. We therefore invite [governments] to send appropriate representatives in order to ensure the objectives are met,” the WHO said. “Participants must be able to actively contribute to the conversations on requirements, options and solution development – and should therefore be routinely engaged in public health intelligence and event-based surveillance activities.”
But when the department decided who would represent Canada at the summit, it chose not to send the specialist who worked closely with GPHIN. Instead, a more senior bureaucrat went to Switzerland.
The decision upset epidemiologists and other staff inside the department for the signal it sent – that managerial seniority carried more clout than expertise.
Elizabeth Gooding, a director within the department’s Centre for Emergency Preparedness and Response, instructed the specialist to provide the higher-ranking colleague with whatever technical information was required to represent Canada at the summit.
“There is no way to convey years of experience,” the person told Ms. Gooding in an e-mail obtained by The Globe. “It would take too long, and her competencies rest elsewhere.”
In response, Ms. Gooding reminded the surveillance expert that “briefing up” – providing information for the more senior colleague to present on their behalf – “is actually a really nice way to interact as a team!”
When the WHO learned of this decision, Philip Abdelmalik, an epidemiologist who leads the organization’s Detection, Verification and Risk Assessment Unit, could not understand Canada’s logic. “I’m not reserving my words; I just don’t have any. Stunned,” Dr. Abdelmalik told a group of Canadian epidemiologists in an e-mail.
Dr. Abdelmalik had his own experience with such problems at the agency. Having left Ottawa to work at the WHO, he was an example of the brain drain of public-health experts who departed in frustration, fearing the focus inside the department had begun to shift away from science.
One of the breaking points for Dr. Abdelmalik was a failed attempt by Public Health and the National Research Council to upgrade GPHIN in order to expand Canada’s pandemic preparedness capacity. In a document Dr. Abdelmalik submitted to Public Health management in late 2017, titled “Exit Report,” which was obtained by The Globe, he described “growing tensions” inside the government over GPHIN, and questioned the “competency and understanding” of those overseeing the upgrade, since they lacked experience with the pandemic early warning system.
But the watering down of scientific capacity inside Public Health had been going on for some time.
Early this year, Dr. David Butler-Jones, Canada’s first Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO), warned about the erosion of expertise and its impact. Canada, he said, has “replaced public-health managers and analysts with generic public servants. Resources, expertise and capacity have been reduced, and expertise positioned further away from where organizational decisions are made on budget, policy, communications, programs and services, and so forth.”
This has had an impact on how the department prepares for a crisis in the years between outbreaks. “There is good reason that medical specialists in public health and preventive medicine require five-plus years of postgraduate training after medical school,” he said. “To understand and apply public health effectively requires expertise in everything from epidemiology and statistics, to prevention and control of disease and injury, to health policy.”
Michael Garner, a former senior science adviser who spent 13 years at the agency before leaving last year, said the influx of senior bureaucrats who lacked an understanding of public health resulted in science being “sidelined” and slowed the department’s ability to handle urgent problems effectively. “Scientists and public health professionals at PHAC have not had their opinions and expertise valued. As a result, decisions impacting the health of the public that PHAC makes are not adequately rooted in scientific knowledge and public-health science,” Mr. Garner said in an interview.
Both he and Dr. Butler-Jones argue the installation of a president at the top of the agency – a role introduced by the Harper government and kept in place under Mr. Trudeau – changed the overall direction of the department. The move tilted the balance of power, relegating the CPHO (a title now held by Dr. Theresa Tam) to the role of adviser and spokesperson, which filtered down through the management ranks that handle day-to-day operations.
“The decision to place a generic bureaucrat rather than a public-health scientist at the top of the Public Health Agency has created a cascade where public-health experts are no longer present at the senior levels of the agency,” Mr. Garner said.
The trend became worrisome enough that some scientists suggested the department create an internal crash course in public health so that new additions to the agency could learn the basics on the fly. But it was never adopted”.
How many times have we heard, “we believe in science”?
Having bureaucrats parrot government policies isn’t science, its propoganda.
Continuing on from Part 3 above, the portion below has the Globe then outlining how senior bureaucrat Elizabeth Gooding, non-medically-trained official and holding an MBA degree from Carleton university, fabricates a “Dr.” designation, artificially spiffing up here resume, to join legitimate doctors at an international, technical committee:
Globe article: Part 4:
“Among the most important international groups Canada belongs to, from a pandemic preparedness standpoint, is the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, or GOARN. It was created 20 years ago as a network of public-health agencies, laboratories and institutions that could mobilize resources in response to emerging epidemics in support of the WHO, including deploying containment experts and investigators to the centre of an outbreak.
“GOARN has investigated hundreds of epidemics and outbreaks in various countries,” said Canadian epidemiologist Ronald St. John, who created Canada’s pandemic early warning system in the 1990s and headed the agency’s Centre for Emergency Preparedness and Response. He also served as GOARN’s first chairman.
“It is an effective tool,” Dr. St. John said. “But it’s technical. I mean, it’s medical and it’s technical.”
But in recent years, the agency stopped sending public-health experts to represent Canada on the committee, which is based in Geneva. Canada’s representative at GOARN meetings is Ms. Gooding, a department director.
Until recently, Ms. Gooding was listed on the GOARN website as a doctor. However, a check of her credentials shows Ms. Gooding has a master’s in business administration from Carleton University in Ottawa.
In fact, Canada is the only member on the 21-person GOARN steering committee whose representative has no formal grounding in medicine or public health. The others are predominantly epidemiologists and doctors who specialize in rare viruses, infection control or outbreak surveillance.
On Oct. 30, The Globe submitted a list of questions to the Public Health Agency. The questions included why Canada is an outlier on the committee; why the agency doesn’t send a subject-matter expert to serve on a high-level group such as GOARN; and why Ms. Gooding is listed on the website as a doctor when she is not. Neither the department nor Ms. Gooding responded, despite several reassurances from a government spokesperson that answers would be provided.
However, in early November – roughly a week after the questions were submitted by The Globe – her curriculum vitae on the GOARN website was updated.
So there we have it. In other professional sectors, anyone fraudulently adding technical academic credentials to a bio or resume, then publishing it, would be fired on the spot. Note further that other Public Health officials could be in on the scam, since they would have read (or even help prepare?) the fraudulent GOARN bio.
Here, one wonders it other establishment media will bother to pick up on the Public Health fraud, or if our corrupt federal government will investigate it. Corruption rules.
I will do the Reader’s Digest version. Government controlled medicine is a freaking disaster. We have to take it away from government, period.
Remember when it was claimed that a certain PM was muzzling scientists as well as other assorted crimes against humanity.
But hey, that was before 2015, rules change for the right price.
I lost trust in my own doctor that he was not looking out for my health as the government pays him more if I’m sick or he makes me sick.
My wife has had her medications changed 4 or 5 times now and they were bad mistakes from doubling up on her diabetic medication to adding new medications making her feel much sicker. When she went back to her original routine, she felt great.
My own doctor has been treating everything is normal wanting a multitude of tests in this Pandemic which I have put off.
My lung compatibility is only 25% of normal and yet the up the poop shoot doctor wants me to have this scope done under surgery in this Pandemic. I have had this done once before and leaked for close to a year after.
I told her no but that isn’t stopping her from bugging me.
The lying inept group that ran the covid response is exactly what you would expect the lieberals to come up with.Did this cost lives is the next question and if so ?????
Millions are in distress yet not dying from cov2. Had the flu been allowed to run it’s course it would be gone now and no more, possibly even fewer, would have have died from the complications, just like every year with the flu.
I once fired a physician for how he handled things. Every time I went to him for a check-up, there always seemed to be something that required another test….. just to make sure, of course.
I’d go for the test and I had barely enough time to settle down after that visit when his clinic would call and request yet another session with him.
It came to the point that I suspected that he deliberately did it because the system paid him by how many tests, exams, and visits I had. The final straw came when he made an appointment with a certain specialist over my objections. I then cancelled that appointment and never did business with that physician again.
BA, in Canada it is the only way a G P can make more than a good electrician. The government controls the cash flow and the Dr. has to pay the freight.
The physician in question, of course, denied that he was getting paid by the test.
I’m sure that there are deals made between different clinics and labs for providing each other with clientele. You don’t think any of them would do that for free, do you? They can fob it off as a “finder’s fee” or some such thing.
vowg, yes, gubmint-controlled medicine is a “freaking disaster”.
We know about the separation of church and state which, properly understood, is a good thing.
THERE NEEDS TO SEPARATION OF MONEY AND STATE.
Money arose spontaneously in society. Gubmint did not give us money. The facility of creating debt money out of thin air is the reason they can run these interminable lockdowns.
Warren Kinsella reminds us today on twitter, that pro life people are bigots.

Isn’t it gay Anglican priest as well? That’s part of the qualifications now with the Episcopals, is it not? This, by willingly being ignorant of the many passages in the good book, that are clear about the sins of homosexuality.
Nowadays, it is no different than any other apostate denominational rainbow “church”, their followers have strayed, and made up a religion based on politics and leftism, to fit their previous lifestyle. The United church has become an NDP farm system.
Communism is Christianity in its purest form, or so I kept being told during those “social justice” sermons I sat through.
BADR, Christianity may be be idealized communism.
But not communism as it is inevitably practiced.
John Stuart Mill has opined that socialism could work … with a more advanced people.
MND: IOW, if immutable human nature could be changed.
Michael Coren has turned into such a f’ing idiot in the years after Sun News.
A Hong Kong teenager was ordered to spend four months in prison on Tuesday for insulting China’s national flag and unlawful assembly as Beijing increasingly targets prominent activists from the financial hub. Tony Chung, a 19-year-old who led a now-disbanded pro-democracy group, was convicted earlier this month for throwing the Chinese flag to the ground during scuffles outside Hong Kong’s legislature in May 2019.
All covid – I mean UK covid all the time. And just like that we have another vaccination. For a disease with less than 1% mortality ? ( Who knows?). A 95% effective vaccination that allows you to get and transmit the disease and stay masked, isolated and locked in your house. Tell me I am not to cynical.
Cynical, not at all, you are correct.
CNN is praising Dementia Joe for announcing that he will stop Trump’s modernization of America’s nuclear arsenal, and will instead focus on arms control.
and Biden is referring to Harris as “President Elect Harris”
China Joe held a press conference today where he mumbled and stumbled over his words, about Trump and promising to make everyone wear masks. He didn’t take questions from reporters. CNN thought it was great but didn’t mention that he wouldn’t answer questions from the media.
Another reason to love Trump: https://www.vice.com/en/article/wx8zkw/trump-is-executing-3-more-people-before-he-leaves-office-here-are-their-stories blood for blood, good, victims deserve at least that.

I have read in various places that the Covid 19 virus has never been scientifically isolated. So, how can they test “vaccine effectiveness”? Answer: They can’t. So this info is pretty interesting: https://principia-scientific.com/irish-government-admits-covid-19-does-not-exist/
