After we discuss some Justice Centre court cases -- the arrest and release of Maxime Bernier, the re-arrest of Pastor Tim Stephens, and GraceLife Church going to court to get its property back--we delve into what John calls "the ideology of Covidism." He draws historical parallels to demonstrate how Covidism has come into its own as a distinct ideology.

The focus is on Manitoba, supposedly the North American 'hotspot' for Covid cases, after Alberta was the hotspot, and before that BC. Now the Premier, Brian Pallister (who equated himself with God on May 25 when he proclaimed an 11th Commandment "Obey the health orders!") is gearing up to introduce vaccine passports, which they are calling "immunization cards." Regardless of what focus groups say is a better name to sell the idea to the public, they still violate the Canadian Charter. Winnipeg S...

After John gives us an update on Justice Centre happenings--including the inside scoop on Pastor Tim Stephens--we get into a discussion about coercion as it applies to Covid vaccinations.

The abuse of power and subversion of the legal system by Alberta Health Services and Alberta’s police forces (discussed in last week’s podcast) are still going on. We get an update and discuss what can be done. Also, we look at Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s weak attempt at using biblical arguments against the province’s pastors who continue to exercise their constitutional freedoms in the face of unscientific and unconstitutional lockdown restrictions.

On May 16, Pastor Tim Stephens of Calgary was arrested and jailed for exercising his Charter freedoms of association, religion and peaceful assembly in the face of unscientific public health restrictions. The police said the arrest was pursuant to a court injunction from May 6 that applied to all Albertans. But that injunction had been amended on May 13 so that it didn't apply to all people in the province, making this pastor’s arrest illegal. Seeking to keep him in jail, Alberta Health Service ...

The Justice Centre’s Charter challenge to Manitoba’s lockdowns has now wrapped up, with government officials testifying under oath in court that PCR tests are extremely unreliable and do not diagnose Covid. Alberta has slid further into becoming a full-fledged police state thanks to a May 6 Court Order, sought by Alberta Health Services, that allows police to arrest peaceful protesters immediately, without due process. We also discuss the Truth Over Fear Summit that took place last weekend. Note...

Alberta currently has the highest number of covid "cases" in North America, based on dubious PCR tests. The government uses these meaningless numbers to justify further violating the Charter rights and freedoms of citizens. Coincidentally (or not), the Justice Centre is in Alberta court challenging the lockdown, with the first two days of the trial of Pastor James Coates and GraceLife Church now concluded. In court, government did not produce any medical or scientific evidence to try to justify ...

After missing last week's show, we play catch-up on the government lockdown files. Generally, health authorities and politicians across the country are increasing Covid restrictions. At the same time, governments are using delay tactics in court, claiming they need multiple months to produce the evidence that might justify their Charter-violating laws, policies and health orders, and telling judges they need more time. After 13 months, this is no excuse. They should have been ready with their "s...

Government officials are now floating the idea of vaccine passports. Is this a violation of our constitutional and/or privacy rights? Scientifically, we have little evidence about the long term effects of the various vaccinations. They're still at the experimental stage. To be talking about health passports now tips the bureaucrats' hand. It's more an exertion of government control, an abuse of power, than scientifically sound policy to benefit society.

Canada’s provincial and federal governments had a bad week on the Covid file, as increasing case numbers, leading to increased lockdowns and fines, are revealing their restrictions don’t seem to be working. To make matters worse, we learn that the country’s Covid deaths in long term care homes are the highest in the developed world.
