Once again, events continue to get ahead of us. I was happily putting together ‘Neoliberalism PART 3,’ and a email came back from the British Government, regarding a petition I signed there (I’m still a British Citizen, of course, as well as a proud Canadian):
This petition was supposed to be open until April 18th, 2024, but it was cut short, as you will see (at 62,347 signatures), with the words: ‘The Government will not end the UK’s WHO membership.’ Of course it won’t, because this Government is captured, in exactly the same way as the WHO is captured. . . but someone is getting worried now. How often is a petition accepted, then shut down when it gets too many signatures, too quickly? You just have to listen to the people in the British Parliament’s ‘visitor gallery’ when Andrew Bridgen gave his latest speech:
This is a sound that strikes fear into the hearts of captured governments everywhere. It is the people not accepting the lies anymore. Governments deal in doublespeak: ‘We do not and will never cede sovereign powers through our partnership.’ I welcome an interpretation of these words from my UK family and friends. Perhaps this is because Britain’s ‘sovereignty’ has already been ceded? (once sovereignty has been ceded, you can’t cede it again. . . but you can take it back). Please see the contradictory statement from Public Health (Canada) in the letter below. Governments ‘obscure, disguise, distort, or reverse the meaning of words’ all the time. We used to say ‘lie,’ but in this schizophrenic world of ours, we have to accept these contradictions as normal (everyone is in two minds these days). . . I guess this is the ‘New Normal’ they keep telling us about.
Before a new Government assumes power in Canada, we must remember that Liberals and Conservatives are currently two sides of the same Neoliberal coin, controlled by interests outside of the political theatre we are presented everyday.
Because I love this country more than most of the people who were born here, who never knew anything outside of this disassociated North American ‘Disneyland,’ I am driven to share my perspective on the crazy outside world that is now arriving on our shores.
It is time to stand up and get involved, because it may be that our elected representatives here in Canada are not looking out for our best interests. I am a hopeless optimist, of course, but I must share these images of the UK Parliament (frame captured from the videos of Dr. John Campbell):
And here (revealed for the world to see) is just how much the British Members of Parliament care about the health and well-being of the people who elected them to office. I’m sure Canadian MPs are far more connect to the people who elected them:
As mentioned, I cannot take credit for sourcing these images. I must direct you here to Dr. John Campbell’s channel, and this specific video, but this image speaks for itself.
On this note, as I shouldn’t write too much more here, let me return to the reason for this email. Here in Canada, our Exit the WHO petition hasn’t yet been shut down (Yeah!), but Canada is always just a few months behind what’s happening in the UK (still the centre of Global economic interests). Our petition is still up and running!
I predicted we would hit 50,000 signatories yesterday (which is massive, for a population of this size). I was off a bit, but we’re close:
If you know you haven’t already signed, please make your voice heard - like those people behind the glass screen in the UK parliament.
Below is a letter to Conservative PMs, sent yesterday. I modified this today, and sent it to all (25) of our NDP MPs. There was a preamble, of course, as most of these are not my elected representatives. I do expect a reply though, as this is clearly an issue of great importance to all Canadians.
Thank you for your ongoing interest, and I hope you will find the information below of interest.

Canadian Members of Parliament have been largely unresponsive to expressed concerns over the proposed 'Pandemic Treaty' and International Health Regulations (IHR) amendments. Sadly, Parliamentarians seem to not understand that Canada will default into accepting the WHO's proposals, if nothing is done before December 1st. The average Canadian, needless to say, is most definitely unaware of this fact.
In light of the massive conflicts of interest that exist:
80% (plus) of WHO funding is provided by those who stand to profit from this organization's decisions (by any definition this is a captured organization).
The shocking fact that there has been no review of the WHO's abysmal track record to date (before even more powers are granted).
We hope that Canadian Members of Parliament are not as 'unconcerned' about the health and well-being of their constituents (following the pandemic response) as those in the UK have been. Scenes like this highlight the reason why the WHO should not be empowered to issue anything more than 'recommendations.' Thanks to the currently 'derelict' British Parliament, we can see clearly that there will be zero accountability in the future. In keeping with Petition e-4623, involvement with the WHO should be suspended (at the very least) until there has been a full public review of the past few year's events.
Individual nations had their own pandemic preparedness strategies in place in 2018/19 (all of which would have been more effective, and less harmful), and yet these were swept aside in favour of recommendations from unelected and unaccountable international organizations. People still deserve to know how this was allowed to happened, as it seems our national sovereignty has already been compromised.
Current government information is contradictory – canada.ca/en/public-health/services/emergency-preparedness-response states:
‘The WHO has no jurisdiction in Canada, and Canada will remain in control of any future domestic decisions about national restrictions or other measures related to pandemics.’
Yet, a few lines down:
‘In the WHO context, countries are also working to strengthen the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005), an international instrument that is legally binding on 196 countries, including Canada.’
The above page was updated since the May 2023 World Health Assembly ‘progress report.’ This from a Q&A link to be found there: https://www.who.int/news/item/21-07-2022-pandemic-instrument-should-be-legally-binding--inb-meeting-concludes. If ‘future domestic decisions about national restrictions or other measures related to pandemics’ are simply going to be in alignment with the WHO's ‘legally binding’ dictates (and our elected representatives continue to behave like British Parliamentarians) then there is serious cause for concern; the words ‘representative democracy’ will be meaningless, as we will have fully transitioned into a global, authoritarian technocracy.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media actively dismisses all concerns over this issue as 'conspiracy theory,' and yet, virtually no one seems to understands what the WHO's proposals entail (or even that there are proposals) The media, as usual, does does not even attempt to explain. It is almost a full-time job keeping on top of developments at the WHO, and it is likely, therefore, that most elected representatives are as woefully uninformed about the ‘Pandemic Treaty’ and IHR amendments as the average person on the street.
Can your office (for instance), tell us who is Canada's delegate, with respect to these negotiations, and what their contributions to this process were?
Could you personally assure us that you are fully appraised of the proceedings, and that you understand the implications (given the nature of 'framework' agreements)?
I suspect most Members of Parliament will take the path of least resistance and simply ignore this issue, defaulting into acceptance of the proposed 'framework' agreement, rather than explain what this means to the people of Canada (who put their trust in their elected representatives).
It may be that WHO delegates have not properly informed their respective national governments, but all those secret meetings should have set off alarm bells. Members of Parliament, on the whole, have not done their due diligence. Most haven't even attempted to explain this issue to their constituents.
As mentioned, the mainstream media has failed to do its job, yet again (The CBC's dwindling numbers show that a majority of people no longer trust this institution). Keeping people in the dark actually seems to be the media's main objective these days. Case in point:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/leslyn-lewis-who-world-health-organization-pandemic-1.6460159
There is no cited evidence from source documents, just name-calling, and hollow reassurance from clearly vested interests, such as the 'Canada Research Chair in Global Health Governance.' (my italics) Nothing to see here!
Your brave colleague, Dr. Lewis needs you (all) to step up. We know there is no chance Prime Minister Trudeau is going to send that required letter to stop this process and remove us from the WHO (and UN), so more Conservative MPs must speak out now. British LibDems continue to be MIA in their Parliament (as you will see in the recording below) though a few brave British Conservatives are beginning to pluck up their courage for the fight ahead. We expect the same from Conservatives in this country.
The terms in these proposed agreements and amendments (to which parliament will 'unwittingly' acquiesce in a few day's time) are almost certainly not legal – no matter what the WHO would like – and they will not be binding in practice. Canadians did not elect their MPs to surrender the nation, and threaten our individual rights and freedoms; and it is not in their power to do this, particularly without the knowledge and consent of their constituents.
Your silence is not consent (to something as important as this). The people have not been informed about what's happening, and ‘informed consent’ (in all things) is essential. Decisions of this magnitude would require, at the very least, lengthy debate and a full referendum.
The Liberal government is about to go down in history as the nation's most disastrous ever, but the Conservative Party, if it remains silent on this issue, is no better; a sin of omission, is still a sin. All members of Parliament who have not familiarized themselves with the WHO's actions and proposals have failed their constituents (and the nation as a whole); being uninformed on a matter as important as this amounts to gross negligence (or worse). The rights and freedoms of the Canadian people are not something our elected representatives can simply give away, and they cannot be put in jeopardy as a result of ignorance, incompetence, dereliction of duty or collusion.
Conservatives must now live up to their name by defending this Nation, its Constitution, the Bill of Rights and Freedoms, and the people they represent (the people who elected them that is). There will be nothing left to ‘conserve’ if Conservatives do not speak out now, loudly and clearly. With Remembrance Day only a week or so past, Canadians expect nothing less than Vimy Ridge courage in defense of their freedoms; the same 'spirit' and 'character' that first put this country on the map as a proud and independent nation in 1917. It was under a Conservative government, of course, that Canada became a nation, and it looks as if it will take another Conservative government to save this nation.
We can assume, of course, that no action will be taken by the Liberals to stop the WHO's initiatives before December 1st. But this issue alone – once people understand the current administration is undermining the very sovereignty of the country we all love – will guarantee a Conservative victory in the next election, and many years in power. When in power though, as Dr. Leslyn Lewis presents in Petition e-4623, these agreements must be rejected, followed (all being well) by an 'expeditious withdrawal from the UN and all of its subsidiary organizations, including WHO.'
In the meantime, a full public review of the WHO's track record, funding, and undue influences, must be undertaken.
I thank you for your time and await your response to the questions above.
