Utah resident Brianne Dressen participated in a clinical trial of a Covid vaccine at the beginning of the pandemic. After only one shot, she suffered a severe vaccine injury which has plagued her ever since. What’s just as bad as her injury is the near total indifference of the drug company to her plight. John Campbell explores these issues in a recent interview with Brianne.

Blacklocks- Aid 6,000 Homeless At $561M
“From 2019 to 2023 this funding has supported placements in more stable housing for 17,849 people annually, emergency housing funding for 5,399 people annually and core prevention services for 31,164 people annually,” said the report. “The best available evidence suggests homelessness has increased in spite of Reaching Home.”
It was “a damning report,” Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre yesterday told the Commons. “If it costs half a billion dollars for the Prime Minister to drive up homelessness how much would it cost to drive it down?” asked Poilievre.

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest
A top adviser at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) deleted records critical to uncovering the origins of COVID-19 — and used a “secret back channel” to help Dr. Anthony Fauci and a federal grantee that funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, evade transparency.
NIH senior adviser Dr. David Morens improperly conducted official government business from his private email account and solicited help from the NIH’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) office to dodge records requests, according to emails revealed in a memo by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which The Post obtained Wednesday.
“[I] learned from our foia [sic] lady here how to make emails disappear after I am foia’d [sic] but before the search starts,” Morens wrote in a Feb. 24, 2021, email. “Plus I deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to gmail [sic].”
“I ask you both that NOTHING gets sent to me except to my gmail [sic],” he emphasized again in a Nov. 18, 2021, email to EcoHealth Alliance president Dr. Peter Daszak, whose organization was suspended this month from receiving federal funds for the next three years and who was himself proposed for debarment on Wednesday.
Roger Pielke Jr was at the hearing.
That there was a cover-up at NIH/NIAID is now well established. Top officials used private email addresses and perhaps burner phones to conduct official government business and to delete communications about COVD-19 origins in order to defeat FOIA requests — all of this is stated in their own words.
The huge question that this raises is — Why the cover-up?
Limitless Demand
I’m sure that the conclusion of most thinkers on the left will be that these programs were obviously underfunded.
Despite $443 million in new annual spending aimed to reduce homelessness the number of people without a roof over their head has grown by 20 per cent in Canada, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
The new $443 million was a 374 per cent increase compared to prior spending, but it doesn’t appear to be having the desired effect.
The Bedlamite Contagion
In any other branch of medicine, doctors would ask why. If you saw a sudden, 5000% increase in young people with bipolar disorder, the mental health world would investigate immediately… If you saw a 5,000% increase in girls suffering from anorexia, immediately we would want to know – what was that trigger, what is causing this? And yet, with gender, the 5,000% increase happens and nobody says a thing. Everybody’s pretending that it’s perfectly normal and healthy. Why? Because… it’s gender. You’re not allowed to question anything. You can only celebrate.
It’s almost as if we’re supposed to celebrate a 5,000% increase in teenage girls showing up at gender clinics and wanting their breasts cut off.

Interesting to see that even the CBC is questioning the wisdom of the idea that no price is too high when it comes to reducing a carbon footprint.
One economics professor tweeted he was “legit astonished” by the investment in Italpasta.
“Do they not understand just how insane this is? That spending north of $170k for *one job* is an embarrassment, not an achievement?” wrote Stephen Gordon of Laval University.
“There is really no underlying economic rationale,” said Robert Gillezeau, assistant professor of economics at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. “I think those spends are more about politics than they are about economic development.”

Interest Expenses
Issuing short term bonds is a sweet deal when interest rates are falling, but not so much when they go the other way.
Canada has just over $1.4 trillion in debt — more than double the $619 billion owed in the Liberal government’s first year — borrowed using bonds ranging between two and 30 years.
This year, $414 billion of the national debt will be refinanced. During the pandemic, the Bank of Canada’s central rate was as low as 0.25 per cent; it’s now five per cent.
A Message For the CPC
Here’s an interesting juxtaposition: a former Liberal MP condemns the ruinously expensive central planning scheme that the Conservative party slavishly supports. We’ve now arrived at the point where around one quarter of one percent of the population will hold an effective veto over trade negotiations affecting the rest of the country.
“The dairy lobby is the National Rifle Association of Canada,” proclaims Martha Hall Findlay, former Liberal MP and now head of the University of Calgary’s school of public policy.
“The one potential positive of Bill-282 is, it is so over the top that it will backfire and it will finally be the time when enough people in this country realize we have to deal with this,” declares Martha.
And “it is so egregious,” she argues, other countries will realize what we’re doing, pointing to the U.K.’s recent withdrawal from trade talks with Canada in large measure over their lack of access to our supply-managed markets, with cheese featuring large. The U.K. is Canada’s third largest trading partner.

The Critic- You are being nudged
A major source of this psychological manipulation is state-funded behavioural science, a discipline dedicated to strategically reconfiguring our physical, social and informational environments — by deployment of “nudges” — so as to increase the likelihood that we do the “right” thing. A nudge is a method of persuasion that often achieves its impact below the target’s level of conscious awareness, thereby providing a “low cost, low pain” way of inducing new ways of behaving “by going with the grain of how we think and act” (MINDSPACE, 2010). These strategies of influence exploit the fact that human beings operate almost all of the time on autopilot, making moment-by-moment decisions without conscious reflection and relying on imperfect heuristics to navigate the complexities of the world around them.

“Democracy”
Daily Sceptic- ‘Global Majority’ is Just Anti-White Propaganda
This phrase is a fancy way of referring to all the non-white people in the world, and then arbitrarily lumping them together into one giant, supposedly homogenous whole as representing around 85% of the planet’s population – in direct opposition to white folk, who make up only under 10% of all the world’s people. (I don’t know what’s happened to the missing few percentile of humans there, by the way: maybe they’re just unacceptably ‘white adjacent’, like Jews or Moomins?)

Toronto Star- Patients are ‘routinely’ being diagnosed with cancer in busy Canadian emergency rooms
On a recent 12-hour shift, Dr. Kyle Vojdani diagnosed three patients with cancer.
Like most evenings, it was busy in Michael Garron Hospital’s emergency department:A crowd of patients waiting to be seen. Physicians and nurses rushing between cases. Sick patients, some critical, waiting in hallways for a hospital bed.
Amid the bustle, Vojdani, chief and medical director of the department, had to find the time — and the words — to tell each of the three that their tests pointed to cancer.

Based on traffic fatalities, driving while stoned is now a bigger problem than speeding, alcohol, and even distracted driving.
One striking difference noted by the TIRF, however, is that while the young tested positive for cannabis, those 65 and up were usually under the influence of central nervous system (CND) depressants which, according to the National Cancer Institute, includes anything that slows the brain, relaxes the muscles, or prevents anxiety (essentially everything from benzodiazepines to barbiturates and even some sleeping pills).
