Lawsuit against the Canadian government over teen’s sudden death following Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination dismissed by Ontario judge. An Ontario judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Dan Hartman against the Attorney General of Canada, Health Canada, and former Canadian Health Minister Patty Hajdu for misfeasance in public office, deceit, fraud, and negligence over the sudden 2021 death of his 17-year-old son, Sean Hartman, who was found dead on the floor beside his bed just over a month after receiving a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. In a ruling from the Ontario Superior Court, Justice S. Antoniani struck down the case without leave to amend, finding that it had no reasonable prospect of success. The court determined that the government did not owe a private duty of care to Sean Hartman and that public health decisions, including vaccine approval and promotion, were core policy matters shielded from liability. Sean Hartman was a healthy, active teenager from Beeton, Ontario, with a deep passion for hockey. When the Ontario Minor Hockey Association imposed a vaccine mandate for the 2021 season, Sean complied, receiving his first and only dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on August 25, 2021. According to his father, Sean developed troubling symptoms within days of receiving the vaccine, including “brown circles around his eyes, a rash, vomiting, and an extremely sore shoulder, opposite to his injection shoulder.” He was taken to the emergency department but was reportedly sent home with pain medication. Thirty-three days later, on September 27, 2021, Sean was found dead beside his bed. A government autopsy determined his cause of death was “unascertained,” meaning no definitive explanation was found. Seeking further answers, Dan Hartman consulted U.S. pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole, who concluded that Sean’s death was caused by spike proteins from the vaccine accumulating in his adrenal glands. Dan Hartman initially filed a claim with the Canadian government’s Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP), but it was denied within a month due to what the government called insufficient evidence. He has since appealed, providing Dr. Cole’s pathology report, but has yet to receive a response. In his lawsuit against the government, Hartman alleged that Health Canada and the Minister of Health made false and misleading representations about the vaccine’s safety and efficacy, failed to assess and monitor risks in accordance with their own mandate, and did not properly warn the public about potential adverse effects, including death. The claim argued that these actions created a relationship of proximity between the government and vaccine recipients, giving rise to a duty of care. Justice Antoniani’s decision follows legal precedents shielding governments from liability over public health decisions. The judge cited past cases in which courts ruled that vaccine approval and public messaging serve the general population rather than creating legal duties to individuals. “The representations made by the Defendants here were the expressions of core policy decisions, made in an effort to protect the general Canadian public during a pandemic,” the judge ruled. While the lawsuit against the government has been dismissed, Hartman’s case against Pfizer, the manufacturer of the COVID-19 vaccine, is still making its way through the court system. That case may take a different legal path, raising broader questions about corporate responsibility and vaccine safety. Hartman has been outspoken on social media about his son’s death and has been working to raise funds for his legal defense.

Federal court dismisses COVID-19 vaccine mandate lawsuit brought by hundreds of Canadian Armed Forces members. A mass tort lawsuit filed in June 2023 by 330 current and former Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members against the federal government has been dismissed by the Federal Court. Associate Judge Catherine A. Coughlan ruled that the plaintiffs' case failed to disclose a reasonable cause of action and declined to exercise jurisdiction over the matter. The 137-page lawsuit challenged the CAF's COVID-19 vaccination mandate, which required all members to be fully vaccinated. The plaintiffs' Statement of Claim provided brief accounts of all 330 CAF members, alleging they were exposed to administrative penalties, ridicule, humiliation, coercion, loss of pay and benefits, and discharge from the military. Many service members who did get the COVID-19 vaccine also alleged adverse events following vaccination, including cardiac issues, neurological problems, blood clots, hemorrhaging, and more. The plaintiffs alleged that the mandates violated multiple sections of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including the rights to freedom of conscience (s. 2(a)), life and security (s. 7), and equality (s. 15). They also sought $1 million in general damages per plaintiff, alongside additional claims for punitive and special damages. One of the plaintiffs, Jacqueline Marie France Boehme, a member of the CAF holding the rank of Sailor First Class, is identified in the court documents. Serving as a Human Resources Administrator at HMCS CATARAQUI, Boehme alleges that she received two COVID-19 vaccine doses while breastfeeding an infant. She claims to have experienced a cardiac adverse event after the first dose and was later diagnosed, on March 7, 2022, with multiple pulmonary embolisms (blood clots) and a hemorrhage in her left lung. Four days afterward, she alleges, she was diagnosed with a lump on her thyroid. Another plaintiff, Armand Edward A. Garner, a CAF member holding the rank of Corporal and serving as an Aviation Systems Technician at 8 Wing CFB, alleges that after receiving one dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, which required surgical intervention. Danis Doiron, another plaintiff, identified as a former CAF member holding the rank of Corporal and serving as an Infanteer with the North Shore New Brunswick Regiment at Miramichi, alleges that after receiving two COVID-19 injections, he developed a small mass on his kidney and experienced cardiac symptoms. Joshua Martin McCulloch, a Corporal and Infanteer, served at the Royal Canadian Regiment, in CFB Petawawa, for nearly a decade. McCulloch alleges that after refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, he and others were forced into an unheated tent in November 2021 under harsh winter conditions. They were allegedly told they could only have heat if they accepted the COVID-19 vaccine. He further claims that his discharge in May 2022 resulted in significant pension and income losses. Jonathan Michael Recoskie, a Master Corporal and Infantry member, alleges he experienced extreme physical and psychological abuse from his command. He claims that after refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, he was forced to work outside in severe winter conditions for three months without shelter or proper equipment. Additionally, he alleges that his command encouraged his peers to ridicule him, leading to isolation and humiliation. Despite the range of allegations outlined by the plaintiffs, Judge Coughlan ultimately ruled that the Statement of Claim did not establish a legal basis for the plaintiffs' claims and that the issues raised were better suited for the CAF’s internal grievance process. Judge Coughlan also noted procedural irregularities, such as improperly filed affidavits and secondary sources, which were not considered in her analysis. Coughlan's ruling also took major issue with the language used in the plaintiffs' court documents, claiming it lacked supporting evidence. She noted that the plaintiffs referred to the COVID-19 vaccines as "experimental gene therapy" and "biologics" without providing evidence to substantiate these characterizations. Additionally, the judge seemed to take strong issue with the plaintiffs' use of quotation marks around the word "emergency" when referring to the pandemic, suggesting that this indicated skepticism about the existence of the pandemic. The judge concluded that such language contributed to a pattern of "vexatious" and "abusive" conduct in the pleading, which she considered problematic. The allegations, including claims of "fraudulent use" of the vaccines, were found to be unsupported by material facts, according to Judge Coughlan, which led her to determine that the pleading constituted an abuse of process. The plaintiffs were ordered to pay legal costs of $5,040, jointly. Speaking with The Canadian Independent, the plaintiffs' lawyer, Catherine Christensen, criticized the Federal Court’s decision, stating: “Once again, the Federal Court has hidden behind the grievance system to deny justice to the members of the CAF who face abuse of power from their chain of command. The next government needs to bring in legislation that will allow our military members to hold their leadership accountable for illegal and wrongful acts.” On the possibility of an appeal, Christensen added: “At this time, I don't see grounds to appeal. A few more days of research are needed before a final decision will be made on that.”

Six California transit workers who were terminated for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine due to religious reasons awarded $7.8 million by a federal jury. San Francisco, CA – On October 23, 2024, a federal jury ruled in favour of six former employees of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), awarding them over $7.8 million after their requests for religious accommodations to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate were denied. The unanimous decision came after two days of deliberation, with each employee set to receive more than $1 million in compensation. The employees, who have been represented by the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) since 2022, argued that BART had unlawfully denied their religious accommodation requests, forcing them to choose between their faith and their jobs. The jury found that BART failed to demonstrate an undue hardship in accommodating the employees' religious beliefs and confirmed that each of the plaintiffs had shown a genuine conflict between their faith and the vaccine mandate, which BART introduced in late 2021. Additionally, the jury accepted the plaintiffs' economic expert’s calculations for lost wages and awarded $1 million each for emotional distress and other damages. Brad Dacus, president of PJI, described the outcome as “seismic,” referring to the case as a "7.8 San Francisco legal earthquake." He praised the hard work of his legal team and the perseverance of the plaintiffs, emphasizing the fairness of the judicial system in this decision. Lead trial counsel Kevin Snider echoed these sentiments, highlighting the sincerity of the employees’ convictions. “The rail employees chose to lose their livelihood rather than deny their faith. That in itself shows the sincerity and depth of their convictions. After nearly three years of struggle, these essential workers feel they were heard and understood by the jury,” Snider said. During the trial, jurors heard testimony from long-serving employees, including one plaintiff who had been with BART for over 30 years and had maintained a decade of perfect attendance before being terminated. Another employee had been on workers’ compensation with no scheduled return date when she was fired. BART had argued that the employees' objections to the vaccine were more secular than religious, but the jury rejected this claim. PJI's legal team continues to represent hundreds of employees across the country who lost their jobs after being denied religious accommodations to the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. This verdict is expected to have far-reaching implications for similar cases pending nationwide.

Bill Gates set to stand trial in lawsuit involving seven people who were allegedly injured by the COVID-19 vaccines. Leeuwarden, Netherlands — Bill Gates, philanthropist and co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has lost a significant legal battle in the Netherlands, where he must now appear before a Dutch court. At the heart of the lawsuit is "The Great Reset," a term popularized by Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), in his book Covid-19: The Great Reset. The plaintiffs claim that Bill Gates, along with other global elites, seized the pandemic as an opportunity to advance this initiative, which seeks to radically restructure economies and societies on a global scale. According to the plaintiffs, the COVID-19 crisis was used as a pretext to implement extreme and unnecessary global interventions that ultimately caused more harm than good. The case, filed back in 2023 with the District Court of Northern Netherlands, involves seven plaintiffs from the Netherlands who accuse Gates, former Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte, Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla, and several others of being part of a coordinated effort to mislead the public into taking COVID-19 vaccinations. The plaintiffs allege that the COVID-19 vaccines were promoted as safe and effective but, in reality, caused significant physical and emotional harm. They argue that Gates and his associates, including figures from the World Economic Forum and the United Nations (UN), deliberately misled the global population as part of this broader "Great Reset" agenda, with serious consequences for those affected by the vaccines. The key demands in the lawsuit include a formal declaration that the defendants acted unlawfully by misleading the public about the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines. The plaintiffs are also seeking financial compensation for the physical and emotional harm they claim to have suffered as a result of receiving the vaccines, with the exact amount of damages to be determined. Additionally, they seek legal recognition that Gates and the other defendants should be held responsible for their involvement in promoting the vaccine agenda, which they allege caused widespread harm. On September 18, 2024, Gates had requested the court to declare itself incompetent to handle the claims against him due to his residency in the United States. The court considered Gates’ motion, focusing on whether it had the jurisdiction to prosecute claims against an international figure like Gates for actions tied to his public health efforts and foundation. On October 16, 2024, the court ruled against Gates' request, declaring that the court does hold jurisdiction over the case. The decision is based on the argument that Gates’ alleged actions were sufficiently connected to the Netherlands through his influence over global vaccination efforts and collaboration with Dutch officials. The court stated that "the nature of the allegations, which include claims of a global conspiracy leading to personal harm, ties Gates' actions to Dutch public policy and citizens." Following this ruling, the case will proceed with a full hearing scheduled for November 27, 2024. Both parties will be required to present further evidence regarding the claims and counterclaims of vaccine-related harm and misconduct during the pandemic.

New Canadian Pandemic Act has the potential to infringe on civil liberties, violate individuals' health privacy, grant broad powers to the Minister of Health, and much more. Bill C-293, the Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act, which has passed its first reading before the Senate, aims to establish robust measures to mitigate future pandemics. However, a closer look reveals several concerns related to government overreach, health privacy, possible violations of civil liberties, and unclear priorities. One of the primary issues is the bill’s establishment and interlinking of surveillance systems for infectious diseases, both domestically and internationally. The extensive data collection proposed—especially with international linkages involving organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE)—raises significant privacy concerns. This could lead to widespread monitoring of citizens’ health data, potentially without their explicit consent. The legislation also mandates collaboration between the federal government, provincial governments, and Indigenous communities to collect and share health data. This requirement may create data privacy, security, and misuse concerns. Another troubling aspect is the bill's broad discretion granted to the Minister of Health and other relevant officials. They are empowered to set pandemic preparedness standards and make far-reaching decisions about public health responses, surveillance, and commercial regulations. The absence of thorough oversight or parliamentary approval for such decisions raises concerns about transparency and accountability, potentially allowing political interests to take precedence over public welfare. Furthermore, the bill compels the Minister of Health and other officials to "leverage international expertise" by adopting internationally developed pandemic prevention metrics. This could result in Canada aligning with global standards that don’t necessarily reflect its domestic needs, limiting the country’s ability to make independent public health decisions. In terms of economic impact, the bill targets commercial activities that "disproportionately contribute to pandemic risk," such as industrial animal agriculture. However, the lack of clarity around what constitutes "disproportionate" could lead to arbitrary decisions, harming industries without solid scientific evidence. This vagueness could spark significant economic disruptions and legal disputes over the scope of such regulations. The bill’s emphasis on the One Health approach—integrating human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health—may also be problematic. While holistic health is important, this broad approach could lead to sweeping environmental regulations under the guise of pandemic prevention, potentially affecting sectors like farming, forestry, and urban development without clear justifications related to pandemics. Lastly, the bill allocates substantial resources to global health equity initiatives, raising concerns that domestic resources could be diverted to international efforts. In summary, while Bill C-293 seeks to enhance pandemic preparedness, its broad language, expanded surveillance powers, and potential for economic disruption pose significant risks. The bill’s lack of transparency and vague definitions could lead to actions that undermine civil liberties, disrupt key industries, and prioritize global interests over Canada's own.

ICYMI: The Pfizer COVID-19 contract between the Canadian government obtained by The Canadian Independent shows the “long-term effects, efficacy, and adverse effects” of the vaccine were not known at the time the contract was signed and the population was mass vaccinated. This is the original COVID-19 vaccine contract between the Canadian government and Pfizer, dated October 26, 2020. It was obtained exclusively by The Canadian Independent through an access to information request. Two months later, after the contract was signed, Canada began the process of mass vaccinating its citizens while politicians, public health officials, the CEO of Pfizer, and the mainstream media preached about the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine being “safe and effective.” What the population was not aware of was what was in the contract. Section 5.5 of the contract, under “Purchaser Acknowledgement,” clearly states: “Purchaser further acknowledges that the long-term effects and efficacy of the Vaccine are not currently known and that there may be adverse effects of the Vaccine that are not currently known.” You can read the contract at the link below. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DGIxi2gS95nt5F1fZdCnKuaMSC_Xlc-h/view?usp=drive_link

Remembering Sheila Annette Lewis, a Canadian woman who died after being denied a life-saving transplant for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. One year ago today, Sheila Annette Lewis passed away. We remember her as a devoted mother, grandmother, and advocate who fought for medical autonomy and freedom. Sheila’s life took a tragic turn in 2019 when she became terminally ill and was subsequently added to the organ transplant donor list in 2020. A resident of Alberta, she faced an unexpected challenge when her decision to decline the COVID-19 vaccine led to her removal from the waitlist for a life-saving transplant. This decision, rooted in her personal convictions, set her on a path of legal battles, public advocacy, and ultimately, a quest for medical assistance abroad. Before being waitlisted, Sheila complied with hospital requirements to repeat a series of childhood vaccinations, as her vaccination history could not be located. With the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines, she was informed that receiving two doses was necessary to remain eligible for the transplant. Sheila’s reluctance to take the COVID-19 vaccine led to her removal from the transplant list, a decision that propelled her into a prolonged legal battle against the hospital and doctors in Alberta. A publication ban by the courts prevented the disclosure of which organ Lewis needed. Despite her relentless efforts in Canadian courts, Sheila was unable to secure a reversal of the decision. Undeterred, friends of Sheila turned their attention to the United States and found a hospital that was willing to do the transplant at a cost of $600,000. Her story gained international attention after being published by The Canadian Independent, which worked tirelessly to bring her story to the public eye. The coverage not only garnered national attention but also resonated with international audiences, leading to significant donations for her transplant surgery in the U.S. In a surprising development, Sheila later announced that she had reached a settlement with the Alberta doctors involved in her case. The settlement, connected to a separate negligence lawsuit, was subject to strict confidentiality, preventing further disclosure of its details. So, we never really knew whether the Alberta doctors had agreed to move forward with her transplant or not. Tragically, it was too late for Sheila, and after three long years of being denied the transplant, she ran out of time and passed away on August 24, 2023. As we remember Sheila today, our hearts are heavy with grief and admiration. We honour her immense courage, her unwavering spirit, and her steadfast commitment to her beliefs.

EXCLUSIVE: Ontario man loses everything and is left living in horrendous conditions inside a rundown barn after medically documented Moderna COVID-19 vaccine injury. Newbury, Ontario - Charles Colhoun was a fit, active, and healthy man who worked for Hydro One for most of his life and eventually went on to be a short-haul truck driver. He enjoyed dancing, travelling, and racing cars in his spare time. In 2021, after receiving two doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, Charles collapsed within two weeks after his second shot and was taken to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with CIDP, an autoimmune disorder that is a chronic, relapsing, paralysing disease that causes inflammation of the peripheral nerves. To manage his condition, Charles now undergoes weekly blood plasma exchanges to remove autoantibodies from his blood. Shortly after, Charles was also diagnosed with skin cancer and required surgery, which has shown some improvement with treatment. Charles was forced to quit his job due to his vaccine injury and lost his home, his beloved race car, and virtually all his possessions. Today, he lives in a rundown barn under horrendous living conditions, with no toilet, shower, or running water, and struggles to make ends meet on Canada Pension and Old Age Pension. Charles applied to the federal government's Vaccine Injury Support Program, which acknowledged a connection between the COVID-19 vaccine and his injury and awarded him only a very small amount of compensation. A GiveSendGo donation campaign has been launched in hopes of raising enough money to help Charles secure proper living accommodations, such as a motorhome.

Former Quebec lawyer files class action lawsuit against dozens of politicians and ministers in their private capacity over “safe and effective” messaging about COVID-19 vaccines. Gloriane Blais, a former Quebec lawyer with more than 20 years of experience and expertise in civil liability and medical malpractice, holds a graduate degree specializing in health law and policies from Sherbrooke University. She was disbarred after speaking out about the COVID-19 vaccines and advocating for her clients. In a phone interview with The Canadian Independent, Blais said she began expressing concerns on social media in the spring of 2021 about the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines. In October 2021, Blais says she took on an appeal case for a father who opposed his ex-wife vaccinating their children with the COVID-19 vaccine, a decision that was ultimately ruled in favour of the mother in the lower courts. Blais claims the appeals court refused to hear the case, and shortly after, she was disbarred. Blais alleges that her outspokenness on social media and her involvement in the father's appeal case is what ultimately led to her disbarment. She say's that on January 31, 2022, the Bar of Quebec ordered her to undergo a psychiatric evaluation without a hearing, and because she refused, they disbarred her on March 10, 2022. Despite having her lawyer's license revoked, Blais continues what she describes as “important work” and declares that she is “not crazy.” On March 27, 2024, Blais filed an application for authorization to launch a class action lawsuit against dozens of current and former politicians and ministers in their private capacities over their messaging about the COVID-19 vaccines being “safe and effective.” The defendants in their private capacities include Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, former Liberal Ministers of Health Jean-Yves Duclos and Patty Hajdu, current Liberal Minister of Health Mark Holland, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, former Ontario Deputy Premier and Minister of Health Christine Elliott, Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe, Premier of Newfoundland Andrew Furey, former Premier of Alberta Jason Kenney, Premier of New Brunswick Blaine Higgs, Premier of Nova Scotia Tim Houston, and dozens of others. Blais explained that she is suing politicians and ministers in their private capacities to ensure that Canadian taxpayers are not financially burdened and that the politicians and ministers would have to pay out of their own pocket so that past and present elected representatives of the people are held accountable for their "lies." The class action lawsuit involves a total of 35 named defendants. Blais argues in the lawsuit that the assertion to the public that COVID-19 vaccines were “safe and effective” was a “lie.” She claims that due to their experimental status, the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines were not clearly established. The Canadian Independent can verify Blais' claim regarding the uncertainty surrounding the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. In November 2023, The Canadian Independent obtained the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine contract between the Canadian government and Pfizer through an access to information request. Within the contract, dated October 26, 2020, it states that the "Purchaser further acknowledges that the long-term effects and efficacy of the Vaccine are not currently known and that there may be adverse effects of the Vaccine that are not currently known.” The extensive 180-page lawsuit filed by Blais includes substantial exhibits pointing to FDA and CDC evaluations of the COVID-19 vaccines’ clinical trial data, along with various other forms of evidence. Blais mentioned that she has already spent $9,000 to have bailiffs serve the 35 politician and minister defendants across the country, in addition to $2,000 in filing fees, and anticipates continuing to incur fees. According to Blais, the next step involves a hearing once everyone is finally served, after which a judge will decide whether the class action can move forward.

Canadian Armed Forces member who provided documented medical proof of serious injury after mandatory COVID-19 vaccination denied compensation by Veterans Affairs Canada. A veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), whose identity remains confidential due to ongoing service, is confronting substantial health issues and administrative obstacles as he prepares for medical release. Catherine Christensen, a prominent lawyer specializing in military cases, spoke with The Canadian Independent regarding her client's situation. The veteran, identified as a corporal, served as a mobile support equipment operator and previously held the rank of master seaman in the Navy before transferring to the army in 2017. Christensen spoke with The Canadian Independent and say’s that her client's health decline is directly linked to serious adverse events that arose from a mandatory Moderna COVID-19 vaccination, which he received under CAF policy. Despite being required to take the vaccine, Christensen states that her client's chain of command is refusing to complete essential paperwork necessary for injury claims during his service. "Members were not only told Moderna was safe and effective, but that if anything happened, they would be covered by Veterans Affairs Canada. They were lied to on both fronts," Christensen said. Veterans Affairs Canada's denial letter acknowledges that Christensen's client developed brain abscesses, sarcoidosis (an autoimmune condition), and left limb paralysis following a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination, explicitly recognizing that these injuries are medically documented as being linked to the vaccine. "Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) has unfortunately denied any recognition of these conditions as service-related, depriving my client of essential supports and retraining opportunities," Christensen stated. "This decision leaves a dedicated veteran and his young family without the promised financial and medical assistance." Christensen further emphasized that CAF members and veterans are limited in their recourse, as they are ineligible for compensation under civilian vaccine injury programs. "This case underscores the broken covenant between the military and its members," Christensen argued. "My client faithfully served his country, only to be left unsupported during his time of need." This case, along with many others who have come forward with COVID-19 vaccine injuries while serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, underscores the critical need for fair treatment, accountability, and the fulfillment of promises made to those who have served their country.

Canadian Armed Forces documents show over 800% increase in adverse event reports after COVID-19 vaccine roll-out. Documents obtained by LifeSiteNews reveal a significant increase in vaccine adverse events and injuries within the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) after the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out, with an over 800 percent rise largely attributed to Moderna's COVID-19 shot. According to Access to Information (ATIP) documents obtained by LifeSiteNews, the number of COVID vaccine-related injuries in the CAF surged from 14 cases in 2020 to 128 in 2021, marking an increase of over 800 percent. The documents indicate that the majority of these incidents occurred following the administration of Moderna’s COVID shot. The records show the number of injuries reported each year as follows: 6 in 2010, 7 in 2011, 5 in 2012, 9 in 2013, 8 in 2014, 8 in 2015, 4 in 2016, 4 in 2017, 8 in 2018, 7 in 2019, 14 in 2020, then a massive jump to 128 cases in 2021, and 223 in 2022. The types of COVID-19 vaccine adverse events and injuries that were reported included deep vein thrombosis, tachycardia, anaphylaxis, seizures, excessive menstrual bleeding, shingles reactivation, spontaneous abortion, myocarditis, pericarditis, menstrual cycle issues, Guillain-Barré syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, Bell's palsy, hemochromatosis, thyroid mass, heart palpitations, transverse myelitis, perimyocarditis, and many others.

AstraZeneca withdraws its COVID-19 vaccine globally after its phase three clinical trial data revealed that 1 in 35 participants experienced a serious adverse event. The pharmaceutical giant recently announced a voluntary withdrawal of its Covid-19 vaccine globally, citing a surplus of other COVID-19 vaccines targeting new variants on the market and low demand for the company's Oxford–AstraZeneca COVID‑19 vaccine, sold under the brand names Covishield and Vaxzevria. The company has faced a mountain of lawsuits worldwide and has recently admitted in court that its COVID-19 vaccine can cause blood clots. However, what hasn’t been widely disclosed is AstraZeneca's most recent Phase III two-year post-vaccine safety clinical trial study results, which is quite alarming. In March of 2023 AstraZeneca finished its mandated Phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study in adults, which followed participants who received one and two doses of its Vaxzevria COVID-19 vaccine over the course of two years. The study results, quietly published by the European Medicines Agency in November 2023, included 21,587 vaccine participants, most of whom had received two doses, and a placebo group with 10,792 participants, roughly half the size of the vaccine group. The study data included the number of participants that experienced serious adverse events (SAE), medically attended adverse events (MAAE), and adverse events of special interest (AESI). The study outlines how it interprets the three different adverse events, stating, "An SAE is an AE occurring during any study phase that fulfills one or more of the following criteria: death; immediately life-threatening; in-participant hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability or incapacity; congenital abnormality or birth defect; an important medical event. AESIs were events of scientific and medical interest specific to further understanding the study intervention safety profile and required close monitoring and rapid communication by the investigators to the sponsor. MAAEs are defined as AEs leading to medically-attended visits that were not routine visits for physical examination or vaccination, such as an emergency room visit, or an otherwise unscheduled visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason." Based on AstraZeneca's Phase III clinical trial data, the adverse event figures are deeply concerning and this may be what really prompted the company to request the withdrawal of its product. Out of the 21,587 vaccine participants, 621 developed a serious adverse event, equating to 1 in 35 people. There were 4,750 participants who sought or required medical attention after the vaccine, which is 1 in 5 people. Adverse events of special interest were reported in 2,516 participants, amounting to 1 in 9 people. See the comments section.

Quebec judge approves authorization for class action lawsuit against Facebook over COVID-19 related censorship on its platform. This marks the second COVID-19 censorship class action lawsuit in Quebec that has been authorized to move forward against a social media company. Yesterday, The Canadian Independent reported on a similar class action lawsuit that was just authorized against YouTube, which involved a Quebec YouTuber, Éloïse Boies, who runs the channel 'Élo Wants to Know.' That class action lawsuit alleges that YouTube has been censoring COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccine content it disagrees with, citing it as medical misinformation. You can read more about that story at the link in the comments section. This class action lawsuit against Facebook, which is owned by Meta Platforms Inc, is similar in nature to the YouTube class action lawsuit. Both are being represented by the same lawyer, William Desrochers, and both judgments have been handed down by the same Quebec Superior Court judge, Lukasz Granosik. In the case of this class action lawsuit against Facebook, the lead plaintiff, Christian Leray, alleges that Facebook has censored and placed labels on his private account and a Facebook group he is an administrator of called Réinfo Québec. Leray alleges several scenarios in his class action lawsuit that Facebook censored and sanctioned him for the content he posted to the Facebook group and his personal account, and they are as follows: In the fall 2021, Facebook removes an article from the journal Cellular & Molecular Immunology, a scientific journal owned by Nature Research, which essentially concludes that the effectiveness of vaccines is diminished with the appearance of new variants and suspends the group Facebook Réinfo Québec for 24 hours due to this publication. After a challenge by the applicant, the publication and the Réinfo Québec group are reinstated. In the fall of 2021, Facebook deleted an article from the journal Circulation, a scientific journal with content dedicated to cardiovascular health, which concluded that messenger RNA vaccines against Covid-19 increase the risk of heart problems and prohibited requester to post on the platform for 24 hours. On January 26, 2022, Facebook deleted a message from the applicant announcing the “Freedom Convoy” in Ottawa. On February 18, 2022, Facebook deletes an article by the requester, prepared from official data from Quebec health authorities, which concludes that 81% of Covid-19 deaths were in fact vaccinated people, while they represented 82.7 % of the population and that 35% of people who died from Covid-19 had received their 3rd dose and prohibited the applicant from publishing on the platform for two days. On May 17, 2022, Facebook deletes an article by the requester, prepared from tables from Quebec health authorities, which concludes that 70% of new hospitalizations for Covid-19 are people triple vaccinated, while they only represent 50% of the population and prohibits the applicant from posting on the platform for three days. On August 9, 2022, Facebook deletes a video of Dr. Robert Béliveau, a retired doctor, who concludes that vaccinating children against Covid-19 is not desirable, given the unfavorable risk-benefit ratio and suspends the account of the applicant for one month. The plaintiff alleges that “Facebook carries out content control, even censorship, on its platform, by deleting postings, restricting the accessibility of certain messages, sanctioning their authors, classifying messages in a particular way or by sending or adding warnings,” and that Facebook defends itself in doing so by claiming it is a violation of its “disinformation policy.” Leray argues that Facebook's policy is a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and says, “the control of content carried out by the defendant during the Covid-19 pandemic constitutes an unlawful and intentional attack on the freedom of expression of the members of the group, thus contravening the Charter of rights and freedoms of the person.” Facebook argues that “it has committed no violation of the Charter, because it has no obligation to provide a platform of expression for any speech, that moreover its platform is private and that it can therefore dispose as it wishes or according to its own rules and, finally, that the applicant can otherwise exercise his freedom of expression, which means that there would be no real infringement of the freedom claimed.” Judge Granosik says in his judgment that if Facebook “controls the content that appears on its platform, it cannot immediately deny any responsibility. If it carries out censorship, prevents certain people from posting certain information, sanctions them by restricting their access to their account and thus hinders the free circulation of ideas, it exposes itself to having to defend its ways of doing things.” Judge Granosik's judgment orders Facebook to "pay the plaintiff and each member of the group who published content on Facebook related to the COVID-19 pandemic and was censored, the sum of $1,000 as compensatory damages, and $1,000 in punitive damages with interest at the legal rate, along with additional compensation provided for by law since the filing of the request for authorization to take collective action." The judgment further orders that Facebook must "cease any form of censorship or classification of publications having the effect of preventing Facebook users from spreading and receiving messages or information contradicting those of health authorities, governments, and the World Health Organization or any other similar body.” Regarding viewers who were deprived of viewing content that was censored on Facebook and who had an active Facebook account, Judge Granosik chose not to rule on an amount for compensatory and punitive damages at this time. Instead, he deferred this decision to be addressed collectively at a subsequent hearing.

Quebec Superior Court judge grants authorization for class action lawsuit against YouTube over COVID-19 censorship on its platform. Éloïse Boies, pictured below, is a YouTuber with the channel 'Élo Wants to Know.' She has been granted authorization to proceed with a class-action lawsuit against YouTube. The lawsuit alleges that the platform has been censoring content related to the pandemic, vaccines, and the Covid-19 virus that it disagrees with, citing it as medical misinformation. The plaintiff, Éloïse Boies, who is legally represented by William Desrochers, alleges that YouTube, owned by Google LLC, censored three of her videos. YouTube cited a violation of its platform policy, stating that Boies spread "incorrect medical information contradicting that of local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding COVID-19." The class action includes “Any person, natural or legal, who has used or visited YouTube since March 15, 2020, and who has seen their videos directly or indirectly linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, censored or who, having wanted to do so, was unable to read or access these videos while residing in Quebec or having an establishment there." According to court documents, the three videos Boies alleges were taken down and censored by YouTube are as follows: "On or around January 5, 2021, YouTube removed the video titled 'Censorship.' In this video, Boies argues that large companies like Amazon, Facebook, and YouTube, along with the government, censor information. She mentions government engagement in propaganda, a doctor's claim of being pressured to identify COVID-19 as the cause of death, prohibition of all debate, and stigmatization of opponents of the dominant discourse with degrading labels such as 'anti-vaccines' or 'conspiracists.'" "On or around August 29, 2021, YouTube removed the video titled 'Why Refuse Vaccines?'. In this video, Boies argues that several scientific experts, including Dr. Robert Malone, oppose COVID-19 vaccination but encounter censorship. She mentions the absence of thorough analysis regarding the risks and benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine, insufficient testing, emerging concerns like fertility issues, censorship of credible individuals, suspicions of a hidden government agenda tied to vaccination passports, and multiple medical and political reasons for vaccine refusal." "In November 2022, YouTube removed the interview video featuring Dr. Louis Fouché, a French doctor and spokesperson for the Réinfo Covid Collective. Dr. Fouché criticizes the falsehoods propagated by authorities, such as portraying the pandemic as a deadly epidemic with no solutions besides isolation, distancing, mask-wearing, and vaccination. He argues that the virus is benign for most individuals, there are identifiable vulnerable groups, curative treatments exist but are impeded by authorities, most health measures are ineffective and cause significant collateral damage, and vaccines are neither universally effective nor safe for all age groups. Dr. Fouché also accuses the system of corruption, manipulation of scientific studies and data, and employing social engineering techniques and mass media to shape public perception." The plaintiff primarily argues that YouTube's content control related to the COVID-19 pandemic is an unlawful an intentional infringement on freedom of expression, which is protected by the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. Google contends that it hasn't breached the Charter since it's not obliged to offer a space for sharing videos regardless of their content. Additionally, it asserts that its platform is private and can be managed according to its own rules and preferences. Superior Court Judge Lukasz Granosik mentions in his judgement that "Freedom of expression does not only mean freedom of speech, but also freedom of publication and freedom of creation. Granosik then quotes from the Supreme Court of Canada saying, "it is difficult to imagine a guaranteed freedom which is more important than freedom of expression in a democratic society." Judge Granosik concluded after reviewing all the facts in the case that, "If Google manages and controls the content found on the YouTube platform and therefore takes actions in this direction, it cannot immediately deny all responsibility. If it carries out censorship by preventing certain people from posting videos and prevents other people from viewing these same videos, it thus hinders the free circulation of ideas and exposes itself to having to defend its ways of doing things." Google is ordered to "pay the plaintiff and each member of the group who published content on YouTube related to the COVID-19 pandemic and was censored,' the sum of $1,000 as compensatory damages, and $1,000 in punitive damages with interest at the legal rate, along with additional compensation provided for by law since the filing of the request for authorization to take collective action, as per the court's decision." The judgment further orders that Google must "cease any form of censorship or classification of publications having the effect of preventing YouTube users from propagating and receiving messages or information contradicting those of health authorities, governments, and the World Health Organization, or any other similar body." In addressing the concerns regarding viewers and visitors to the YouTube platform who may have been 'deprived of viewing prohibited content,' Judge Granosik chose not to rule on an amount for compensatory and punitive damages at this time. Instead, he deferred this decision to be addressed collectively at a subsequent hearing.

EXCLUSIVE: Young Ontario woman's life becomes a living hell after Moderna booster shot leaves her paralyzed. Doctors confirm vaccine connection and offer Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). Kayla Pollock is a 37-year-old mother from Ontario whose life took a drastic turn after receiving a Moderna Covid-19 booster shot. She experienced paralysis from the neck down and has been enduring a challenging ordeal ever since. Kayla's early years were marked by unspeakable cruelty and suffering. As an infant, she endured the horrors of severe abuse, including broken bones, cigarette burns, and bruises inflicted upon her helpless body by her parents. Her distressing situation prompted the intervention of family and children services, ultimately leading to her placement in a caring, loving and supportive home. As she grew older, Kayla dedicated the majority of her younger adult years to behavioral training of exotic animals. However, she eventually made the decision to resign from this profession after having her son, recognizing the inherent risks of the job. Kayla eventually ended up in the small town of Mount Albert, Ontario, where she co-raised her son after a separation. She worked as a casual educational assistant at Robert Munsch Public School, assisting kindergarten children. Her home was conveniently located right next to the school. Kayla's son attended the same school where she worked, and she expressed her love for her job and the positive direction her life was heading. Describing herself as fit, healthy, and very active, Kayla enjoyed hiking, being outdoors, gardening, and going places with her son. When the pandemic struck, Kayla recalls the mainstream media, politicians, and public health officials emphasizing the severity of the virus and urging everyone to get vaccinated. She remembers health officials specifically advising that those at highest risk should prioritize getting vaccinated. Being immunocompromised and a type one diabetic, Kayla heeded the advice of health officials and received the first two Pfizer shots in the middle of 2021 and didn’t experience any issues. Additionally, she mentions another reason for getting vaccinated was because her father resided in a long-term care facility with dementia, and vaccination was going to be a requirement for entry into the care home. Kayla then decided to take a booster, but this time it was a Moderna booster shot. She recounts going to a vaccination drive and the police being there. She found that odd and questioned why the police were present. According to Kayla, people were upset that Moderna was being given out instead of Pfizer, and that was the reason for the police presence. Kayla says that something didn’t sit right in her gut, but she went ahead with the Moderna booster shot anyway. She explains her reasoning for getting the third shot was because she felt like a third one would be mandated at some point to get access into her dads long term care home. She received the Moderna booster shot on January 11, 2022. Four days later, Kayla described a situation where her legs just gave out, and she collapsed, but all seemed fine a short time later. Then, nine days later, she experienced a similar event, and at that time, she called her doctor, asking to see a neurologist because she suspected something wasn’t right. On the morning of February 22, 2022, Kayla's life took an irreversible turn. As she awoke, opened her eyes, a sudden realization struck her – she couldn't move her body. Despite the shock, she says she remained calm and started yelling for help. Fortunately, her boyfriend who spent the night, was in the driveway preparing to leave for work, and heard her cries for help. Her boyfriend called 911 and Kayla was transported to Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket, Ontario. While in the emergency department Kayla recounts that the attending physician initially dismissed her symptoms, suggesting that it was all in her head and portrayed her as a "crazy person," and ordered a psychiatric consult. All of what Kayla describes happening is evident in her medical records which we obtained and reviewed. Eventually, an MRI was conducted, revealing that Kayla had a very large lesion on her spinal cord. A neurologist followed up with Kayla and recommended a course of steroids in an attempt to decrease the size of the lesion. Kayla questioned the neurologist and asked if the lesion could be a tumor. In an audio recording taken by Kayla’s boyfriend, the neurologist responds, saying, “it's less likely a tumor” and that it is his “gut impression it was caused by the vaccine.” When Kayla questions the doctor as to whether many people have had something similar happen to them, the doctor responds, saying “many people have had it.” Later, Kayla would learn that she had developed transverse myelitis, a condition that interrupts the transmission of messages along the spinal cord nerves throughout the body. She would go on to spend several months in the hospital, where she says she was offered medical assistance in dying (MAID) on two occasions but rejected the offer. During Kayla's hospital stay, she received steroids, which she claims helped to some extent, allowing her to regain very slight movement in her arms, hands, and fingers. However, she still has absolutely no feeling from the neck down. Visually examining her fingernails reveals decay due to the lack of nerve function. Kayla believes that if the initial doctor had taken her concerns seriously, rather than dismissing her as a "crazy person," and promptly ordered an MRI, she might have been able to walk again or experience sensation in some parts of her body that she doesn’t have today. After her initial treatment at the local hospital, Kayla was subsequently transferred to Lyndhurst Rehabilitation Centre in Toronto to undergo several months of intensive rehabilitation aimed at attempting to restore her physical capabilities and adapting to her new reality. Unfortunately, Kayla says that rehab did not help her. Following her discharge from the hospital, she now takes a long list of drugs daily. She ended up losing everything she worked hard for—her home, the ability to co-raise her son, and her job, essentially losing everything. Kayla was placed on provincial disability and was forced to move away from Mount Albert, where her son lives, into an apartment that could accommodate her wheelchair accessibility needs. Kayla has faced challenges in obtaining the promised hours of in-home care after leaving the hospital. Kayla relies on a personal support worker to help her get out of bed each morning, another organization assists with meal preparation, and in the evenings, a friend comes over to manually extract feces from her bowel and aid her in getting into bed. Securing compensation through the federal government’s Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) has been difficult for Kayla. She initiated the application process in July of 2022, following up with the program six months later. However, according to Kayla, her application was still under review at that time. Another six months elapsed, and when she sought an update, the program informed her that they had never received her initial application. In response, Kayla reapplied to the program and was recently assigned a case worker. Uncertainty looms over whether she will be approved and, if approved, when she will receive any form of compensation. Kayla faces challenges in performing simple tasks both at home and in the community. She is in a difficult financial situation and desperately seeks a service dog. According to her, having a service dog would not only assist her with daily tasks but also offer companionship, providing her with much-needed company. An organization called Veterans 4 Freedom has stepped in to help Kayla and has set up a GiveSendGo campaign to help her raise funds for a service dog. A link to that fundraising campaign is below. https://givesendgo.com/kaylapollock

WATCH: Ontario Premier Doug Ford is asking municipalities and regions across the province to seize farmland for industrial investors that don’t exist. In an April 11, 2024, press conference in Cambridge, Ontario, Ford said he has asked regions and municipalities across the province to assemble land for potential industrial investment purposes, including 770 acres of farmland in Wilmot Township, just outside of Kitchener, Ontario. The Canadian Independent visited Wilmot Township to investigate what is happening and who would be affected by this land grab. We learned that this land grab would affect precious farmland that amounts to 582 football fields in size, and includes 6 farm owners and would disrupt or decimate a significant portion of agricultural activities in the area. We visited Mountainoak Cheese, which is affected by the land grab. They are an award-winning, highly reputable dairy farm and a fair-sized cheese production company that sells a wide range of cheeses locally from its storefront. Mountainoak Cheese also supplies its products to hundreds of major and independent grocery stores, as well as various other businesses across the province. We chatted with the owners of Mountainoak Cheese to hear what they had to say. Adam van Bergeijk moved to Canada from Holland and established Mountainoak Cheese, which has been operating for nearly 30 years. His son, Arjo Van Bergeik, oversees the cattle portion of the business, while Adam manages the day-to-day cheese operations. Adam says he was approached in March 2024 with an offer to buy his land at an unreasonably low price per acre. Arjo, Adam's son, mentioned that the region has plans to start leveling the farmland as early as August 2024. However, none of the six landowners are currently willing to sign any agreements, leaving everything in a state of uncertainty. Adam mentioned that the Mountainoak Cheese store front location will not be affected by the land grab. However, the 350 acres of crop they own and rent just north of his storefront location is what they use to feed their cattle, and without that feed, they aren't sure what they will do. The farmers have hired a lawyer and launched a website called http://fightforfarmland.com. They are also selling lawn signs to raise awareness and have initiated a petition, gathering over 30,000 signatures so far to hopefully stop the land grab. Farmers in Ontario have been rallying together in recent years to raise awareness about the alarming rate of farmland loss. A significant loss of farmland occurred recently in St. Thomas, Ontario, where farmers faced a massive farmland grab that wiped out nearly 1,500 acres of prime farmland for a 2 million square foot Volkswagen electric vehicle battery plant. This project, backed by the Ford and Trudeau governments. Premier Doug Ford's conservative government has proposed Bill 185, which aims to expedite certain expropriations and, for the first time, permit local municipalities to provide subsidies to attract new companies. As of April 17, 2024, Bill 185 was under consideration in its second reading and had been referred to the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs. There is speculation that Honda Canada is set to announce a multi-billion-dollar deal with Ontario later this week to build electric vehicles, leading many to wonder if Honda plans to use the land in Wilmot for that purpose. The Canadian Independent will continue to monitor this story and bring any new developments.

WATCH: A young Alberta woman, who suffered severe and permanent facial paralysis after receiving the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, speaks with The Canadian Independent to share her story. Carrie Sakamoto, a perfectly healthy 45-year-old, raised her three children with her husband on a farm just outside Lethbridge, Alberta. When the pandemic struck, Carrie, like many others, rolled up her sleeve and got vaccinated. What she didn't realize is that this decision would change her life forever. Sakamoto received the AstraZeneca vaccine on April 21, 2021, and then received a Pfizer jab on June 18, 2021. After receiving the Pfizer vaccine, she experienced severe flu-like symptoms, including nausea, dizziness, and fever, which persisted and worsened through-out the week. On July 1, 2021, Sakamoto's husband brought her to Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge, Alberta, because her symptoms were worsening. Carrie noticed that the right side of her face began to droop, and she experienced stroke-like symptoms. Sakamoto was discharged from the hospital that day and was told that her symptoms would resolve themselves. Throughout the night and into the next day, Carrie's symptoms worsened, prompting her return to the hospital. She was admitted to the hospital on July 2, 2021. Her condition continued to deteriorate, leading to the need for a feeding tube as she was unable to chew and swallow food properly, Her right eye was paralyzed open so it had to be covered and taped shut. Five days later on July 9, 2021, doctors at the hospital conveyed to Sakamoto that her injuries were attributed to a reaction from the Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccine administered on June 18, 2021. After Sakamoto was released from the hospital, she and her family made the difficult decision to put their home and farm up for sale. Sakamoto mentioned that this decision wasn't easy, but she faced challenges in performing household tasks due to persistent fatigue, lack of concentration, the need for multiple medications, constant medical treatment and her inability to drive. Carrie say’s that she began speaking out online about her vaccine injury with the intention of raising awareness about her experience. She notes encountering resistance from the mainstream media, which refused to share her story, and facing hurtful comments from individuals online. In March 2023, Sakamoto was approved for compensation through the Canadian government's Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP). She mentioned using this approval as evidence to support her claims about her injury and noted that the mainstream media continued to refuse to speak with her. The VISP awarded Sakamoto a one-time lump sum payment of $65,000 but denied her any income replacement or coverage for ongoing medical expenses. Sakamoto mentioned that she accepted the VISP’s $65,000 offer and decided not to appeal because she was accumulating credit card debt due to medical expenses. She has appealed the VISP’s denial for income replacement and coverage of medical expenses but hasn't received a decision yet Carrie continues to face a very challenging life, dealing with a disfigured face, slurred speech, constant pain in her face, ear, and head, hearing loss in her right ear, balance issues due to vertigo, memory loss, difficulty sleeping, headaches and anxiety. A class action lawsuit has been recently filed on behalf of Carrie by an Alberta law firm, Rath & Company. The lawsuit alleges "unlawful, negligent, inadequate, improper, unfair, and deceptive practices" against both the province of Alberta and the federal government. These allegations are connected to the "warning, marketing, promotion, and distribution of the Covid vaccines." The lawsuit alleges that the defendants hastily implemented alterations to the safety standards of the vaccines, essentially eliminating the necessity to substantiate their safety or effectiveness. Despite these changes, the vaccines were reportedly marketed as meeting such standards. Additionally, the legal claim asserts that citizens were allegedly coerced into vaccination through the enforcement of a vaccine passport, restricting the rights of those who were hesitant to receive the vaccine. Concerning distribution, the lawsuit alleges that Health Canada negligently approved the Covid vaccines through an expedited process. This process permitted manufacturers to seek authorization for the sale and distribution of Covid vaccines without completing all long-term safety studies or committing to reviewing new evidence as it emerged. Additionally, it is alleged that this expedited process failed to demonstrate the 'safety and effectiveness' of the Covid vaccines for the general population. Carrie wants to extend a special thank you to @Vets4FreeCanada for their support in raising funds for her.

One might ask, why would they choose to leave out the COVID-19 vaccines? Well, it may have to do with the fact that, according to Ontario Public Health's latest March 2024 COVID-19 vaccine safety report, it places 'other severe and unusual events' as the number one reported adverse event since the COVID-19 vaccine rollout back in December 2020.

WATCH: Perfectly healthy 17-year-old Sean Hartman was found dead beside his bed 33 days after receiving his Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The Canadian Independent sat down with Sean Hartman's dad, Dan Hartman, for his first-ever in-person interview to hear his son's tragic story. Sean's story has garnered international attention and resulted in a lawsuit being filed against Pfizer and the Canadian government. Sean was a normal, typical, perfectly healthy 17-year-old from a quaint little town in Beeton, Ontario. He was deeply passionate about playing hockey, spending countless hours on the ice honing his skills and dreaming of a bright future. With his whole life ahead of him, filled with hopes, dreams, and aspirations, Sean's sudden and tragic passing has left his dad with many unanswered questions. As the 2021 fall hockey season approached, Sean found himself facing a mandatory vaccination requirement from the Ontario Minor Hockey Association to participate in the sport. On August 25, 2021, Sean received his first and only dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. Four days later after Sean's first Pfizer shot his dad says he developed “brown circles around his eyes, a rash, vomiting, an extremely sore shoulder, opposite to his injection shoulder” and was taken to the emergency department. According to Dan the doctor at the emergency department did not do any blood work, a D-dimer or troponin test and says his son was just given a pain reliever for his shoulder and sent home. Thirty-three days after Sean's first Pfizer shot, he was found dead on the floor beside his bed. An autopsy was performed, and the pathologist determined that Sean’s cause of death was "unascertained," meaning an inability to determine a specific cause. Dan eventually filed a claim with Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP), introduced as Canada's first-ever vaccine injury program in 2021, but the claim was denied within a month due to insufficient evidence. Following the VISP denial, Dan sought a second opinion from U.S. pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole, who determined that Sean’s cause of death was from spike protein from the Covid-19 vaccine in his adrenal glands. Dan has since filed an appeal with the Vaccine Injury Support Program providing them with the pathology report from Dr. Cole. The VISP has yet to respond to the appeal. Dan then started a GiveSendGo fundraising campaign, hired a lawyer and filed two separate lawsuits one against Pfizer and another against the Attorney General of Canada, the Department of Health Canada and former Minister of Health Patty Hajdu suing them for millions of dollars in damages for malfeasance in public office, deceit fraud, negligence, and more. Recently, the Canadian government made Dan an offer, which he describes as "a bullshit offer," and he has declined it. The government's offer to Dan was that if he withdrew his case against them immediately, they wouldn't pursue any legal or court-related fees against him going forward. Dan insists that he is fully committed and not backing down; he wants his day in court and is determined to pursue it relentlessly until that day arrives. A top cardiologist, Dr. Peter McCullough from the United States, has been secured and has agreed to fly to Canada to testify in court on behalf of Dan. Dr. McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist with degrees from Baylor University, University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, University of Michigan, and Southern Methodist University. The Canadian Independent will continue to monitor this story and bring any new developments as they come.

LOOK: Liberal Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health Yasir Naqvi says that “at the time of initial authorization of the first COVID-19 vaccines, Pfizer-BioNTech, in December 2020, there was no reported evidence on the efficacy of the authorized COVID-19 vaccine to prevent asymptomatic infection, to reduce viral shedding or to prevent transmission.” A House of Commons transcript from March 22, 2024, shows that Conservative MP Colin Carrie posed the question, “With regard to Health Canada’s authorization of COVID-19 vaccines, at the time of approval through the Interim Order Respecting the Importation, Sale and Advertising of Drugs for Use in Relation to COVID-19 in 2021: (a) was there evidence that the vaccines stopped people from transmitting the virus to others?” Liberal Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health Yasir Naqvi responded, saying, “Mr. Speaker, in answer to part (a) of the question, at the time of the initial authorization of the first COVID-19 vaccines, Pfizer-BioNTech, in December 2020, there was no reported evidence on the efficacy of the authorized COVID-19 vaccine to prevent asymptomatic infection, reduce viral shedding, or prevent transmission.”

Kayla Pollock, the Ontario woman paralyzed after her COVID-19 booster shot, files a $45 million lawsuit against Moderna. The Canadian Independent first reported on Kayla Pollock's story a week ago, and since then, it has received international attention. Donations have poured in from all around the world to help Kayla obtain a service dog and a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. On February 22, 2024, a lawsuit seeking $45 million in damages was filed on behalf of Kayla against Moderna. The claim seeks physical, emotional, and psychological damages, loss of past and future income, future cost of care, pain and suffering, as well as aggravated and punitive damages. Kayla is a 37-year-old Ontario woman and mother whose life has become a living hell after a Moderna booster shot left her paralyzed. Her medical records confirm a link between her paralysis and the Moderna booster shot. An audio recording between Kayla and her neurologist reveals he believed her paralysis was caused by the vaccine. In the recording, he tells her that it's his "gut impression" it was caused by the vaccine, and he mentions seeing this happen to "many" people. On two occasions, Kayla was offered medically assisted death as a way to escape her paralyzing situation, but she refused. Kayla encounters difficulties securing the essential items for a basic, everyday life. In response, an organization called Veterans for Freedom has launched a fundraiser to collect funds, aiming to provide her with the necessary support. A link to the fundraiser is below.

WATCH: 17-year-old Aubrynn Grundy contracted COVID-19 a few weeks after her second dose of Pfizer, went into cardiac arrest, was hospitalized, given a cocktail of drugs, went into multi-organ failure, and tragically passed away. Aubrynn Grundy lived in Livonia, Michigan. She was a perfectly healthy 17-year-old, and her story is sad and tragic, leaving her mother, Shanna Carroll, and stepfather, Adam Carroll, with many unanswered questions. How did a perfectly healthy 17-year-old, who was recently double vaccinated for COVID-19, go into cardiac arrest three times, require life support and ventilation, develop multi-organ failure, and ultimately pass away? In January 2022, Aubrynn received exciting news from the Odd Fellows Organization of Michigan that she would be one of only a few students chosen from her school to go on a youth pilgrimage trip to Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Ottawa, Niagara Falls, and Pennsylvania that summer. Before leaving for the trip, Aubrynn was required to get two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. She received her first Pfizer dose on June 7, 2022, and her second Pfizer dose on June 28, 2022. Aubrynn left for her trip on July 9, 2022, and a little over a week later, on July 18, 2022, she texted her mom from Canada, saying she wasn’t feeling well and had tested positive for COVID-19. Aubrynn’s mom and stepfather were unable to drive into Canada to get their daughter because they were not vaccinated, so they had to wait until the following day, July 19, 2022, when Aubrynn would be coming back across the border on the American side, to pick up their daughter. On July 20, 2022, Aubrynn was back home in Michigan, still feeling unwell, so her mother took her to urgent care at St. Mary Mercy Livonia Hospital. After being dropped off by her mother, Aubrynn's biological father showed up to wait with her, and shortly after that, Aubrynn went into cardiac arrest in the emergency department waiting room. Life-saving measures were taken to keep Aubrynn alive. She was placed on ECMO, a form of life support for people with life-threatening illnesses or injuries affecting the heart or lungs. She was ventilated and administered various drugs, including fentanyl, dexamethasone, ketamine, propofol, hydromorphone, lidocaine, and others. According to her medical records, she received such high doses of narcotics that Narcan had to be administered to bring her back. All of this happened within an hour and a half. A request was then made for Aubrynn to be transported to a children's specialty hospital, and an ambulance was dispatched. However, the ambulance was called off on the way due to insufficient beds. The Children's Hospital of Michigan stepped in and said they would take Aubrynn and sent a helicopter to pick her up. Shanna and Adam say that when the helicopter transport arrived at St. Mary Mercy Livonia Hospital to pick up Aubrynn, the healthcare team onboard the helicopter had to unhook all the machines Aubrynn was connected to because the healthcare staff at St. Mary’s had not done it properly, potentially compromising their daughter's health. By the time Aubrynn arrived at the Children's Hospital of Michigan, she had gone into cardiac arrest twice more and was moved to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), where she remained for 17 days as her health continued to deteriorate. She was suspected of suffering from myocarditis, her fingers, hands, toes, feet, legs, and arms began to turn black, gangrene was setting in, her organs were failing, and she would have required multiple amputations. By August 6, 2022, Aubrynn's condition had not shown signs of improvement. Her body was becoming increasingly resistant to pain medication, and the discoloration in her extremities continued to worsen. Ultimately, the decision was made to remove Aubrynn from life support, and she tragically passed away approximately 20 minutes later. Shanna and Adam say that they had hired a lawyer to pursue legal action against St. Mary Mercy Livonia Hospital for malpractice. However, a year later, they received a letter from the law firm stating that they were dropping the case. Aubrynn’s parents express their desire for answers; they want to understand why their vaccinated daughter passed away and hold the initial hospital accountable for what they consider multiple mistakes. They mentioned that they are planning to seek legal representation again and have set up a GiveSendGo fundraiser to raise funds for this purpose.

WATCH: Pfizer whistleblower Justin Leslie joined The Canadian Independent to discuss his undercover work that he has just released to expose the Covid-19 vaccines. Justin Leslie joined us to talk about his recent documentary he just released, which includes a clip of Pfizer's principal scientist admitting that the company skipped 10 years of safety testing, had significant knowledge of mRNA vaccine side effects, but released the COVID-19 jab anyway. His documentary also reveals that he was the person featured in a viral video who went on a date with Pfizer employee Jordan Trishton Walker, the Director of Research and Development, in February 2023 while working undercover for Project Veritas. In the undercover video, Walker made several shocking claims about Pfizer's activities with its mRNA technology, including exploring the mutation of SARS-CoV-2 to proactively develop new vaccines, conducting experiments to figure out future mutations, and utilizing the technology for gene editing. Additionally, Walker acknowledged in the video that there are concerns about the Covid-19 vaccines interfering with menstrual cycles. Leslie also discusses his experience working with Project Veritas and James O'Keefe, and alleges O'Keefe ultimately abandoned much of the undercover work he conducted on Pfizer and the Covid-19 vaccines, which was never made public until Leslie put out his recent documentary.

Ontario man successfully challenges his employer's COVID-19 testing policy, claiming a violation of federal genetic testing labour law, securing a hearing that could establish case law and spark lawsuits. A Hamilton, Ontario man, Bernard Josipovic, a father and husband who worked for DHL Express Canada as a unionized employee, driving a 5-ton truck delivering packages, has taken the company to a federal labor board challenging the company's COVID-19 testing policy. Josipovic spoke with The Canadian Independent to tell his story. DHL Express Canada, being federally regulated, operates under the federal governments Canada Labour Code. Industries like telecommunications, transportation, and banking, which fall under federal regulation, are subject to standardized employment conditions and practices enforced by the Canada Labour Code. In 2022, DHL Express Canada introduced a COVID-19 testing policy at its Mount, Hope Ontario facility. The policy required employees who were not fully vaccinated to personally cover the expenses of undergoing a PCR or Rapid Antigen Test twice a week and provide proof of the test results. Josipovic, who opted not to get vaccinated, expressed genuine concerns about the company's COVID-19 testing policy and communicated these concerns to his employer. His primary worry revolved around whether the PCR test qualified as a genetic test and, if so, whether DHL Express Canada was potentially violating the Canadian federal Labour Code. The PCR test also known as a polymerase chain reaction test, is a test that is used to detect genetic material from a specific organism, such as a virus. PCR testing is done by a health care professional, or another trained individual, the test involves swabbing your nose or throat, and then the swab is sent to a lab for testing. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) describes that a PCR test “is a laboratory technique that uses selective primers to copy specific segments of a DNA sequence” and the test uses “primers that match a segment of the virus’s genetic material.” Canada’s federal labor law under section 247.98 (1), says a “genetic test, in relation to an employee, means a test that analyzes the employee’s DNA, RNA, or chromosomes for purposes such as the prediction of disease or vertical transmission risks, or monitoring, diagnosis, or prognosis.” Below that, under subsection (2), it says, “Every employee is entitled not to undergo or be required to undergo a genetic test.” Under subsection (3) of that provision it explicitly states that no employer can "dismiss, suspend, lay off, or demote an employee, impose a financial or other penalty on an employee, or refuse to pay an employee" because "the employee refused a request by the employer to undergo a genetic test" or because the "employee refused to disclose the results of a genetic test." His second concern related to the Rapid Antigen Test (RAT), a take-home test suggested by public health officials for COVID-19 self-testing. The pamphlets inside these test kits explicitly state that the test is intended for "professional use only." The warning section in the pamphlets emphasizes that the instructions for performing the test "must be strictly followed by a trained healthcare professional to achieve accurate results.” Josipovic explained his concerns, saying, "I am not a healthcare professional; I don’t want to injure myself using these so-called self-test kits. What if I put the swab too far up my nose and hurt myself? What if the buffer used in the kits poisons me? If these self-test kits are supposed to be handled by trained healthcare professionals, why are they allowing anyone to use them? There are so many instructions in the kit that it's easy for any average person who is not a trained professional to make a mistake, which could lead to an inaccurate reading. Some of the ingredients in these kits can be deadly." One of the ingredients in the buffer used in these self-test kits is sodium azide, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "Sodium azide is a rapidly acting, potentially deadly chemical that exists as an odorless white solid," and "When it is mixed with water or an acid, sodium azide changes rapidly to a toxic gas with a pungent (sharp) odor." Health Canada, in February 2022, issued a safety alert titled “Rapid antigen test kits and potential exposure to hazardous substances.” It stated that there was an “increase in reports to poison control centres” regarding the “accidental misuse or accidental ingestion or spillage of COVID-19 rapid antigen test kit solutions on the skin.” The alert emphasized that the “test kits include liquid solutions with chemical preservatives, such as sodium azide and Proclin, that may be poisonous if swallowed or absorbed through the skin.” When Josipovic brought these concerns and questions to his employer, he say’s that he was "suspended for 1, 5, and 30 days without pay starting in May 2022 for failing to to provide COVID-19 testing,” and that they “continued to refuse to answer any questions and threatened me with termination if I came to work without a negative test after my 30 day suspension,” In July 2022, Josipovic stated that he went on medical leave due to the mental stress caused by DHL, following consultation with his family doctor. On July 19th, 2022, he filed a genetic testing complaint with the Federal Labour Program. According to Josipovic, the Federal Labour Officer assigned to his complaint was unable to obtain any answers from DHL regarding his genetic testing complaint. Having no other option, Josipovic moved his case forward to adjudication with the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB). The Board accepted Josipovic’s case and informed both parties that they were scheduled to go to adjudication on February 1st, 2023. On February 2nd, 2023, DHL Express Canada hired a private investigator to conduct surveillance on Josipovic. He felt that this action by DHL was taken to intimidate him. Josipovic obtained the private investigator report, which The Canadian Independent has reviewed. It includes pictures of his home, his personal vehicle and license plate, as well as several images of him working at another job he secured to help support his family while on medical stress leave from DHL. Six days later, on February 8th, 2023, DHL Express Canada terminated Josipovic’s employment with the company, alleging that he falsified medical documents related to his medical leave. Josipovic acknowledges that he was physically capable of working and, in fact, he secured another job to support his family while on medical leave, which he say’s he also notified DHL about prior to his termination. He explains that his medical leave stemmed from the mental strain induced by DHL, emphasizing that it wasn't due to any physical medical issues but rather a mental health issue. Josipovic insists that every three months while on unpaid medical leave, he provided DHL with medical documentation from his family doctor, confirming his physical ability to work but noting his ongoing mental health issue. He say’s that DHL's reason for firing him was complete fraud. According to Josipovic, they used the private investigator’s photos of him working to create the false impression that he was deceiving the company and physically capable of working. He say’s he believes that DHL falsely portrayed his medical leave as being for a physical reason, whereas it was, in fact, for a mental health reason. In September 2023, the Board convened with all parties and informed them of the decision to proceed with an in-person hearing in Toronto, Ontario. The board scheduled hearing dates in February and March of 2024. At the February 15, 2024, hearing, Josipovic, who represented himself, said DHL hired four lawyers to attend the hearing. He mentioned that DHL's legal team attempted to have the case dismissed based on their expert reports. Josipovic argued why the case shouldn't be tossed and provided expert testimony of his own. The 3 panel Board took a 15 minute recess and came back letting the parties know that the case was not going to be dismissed and that the hearing would proceed. The next hearing date with the Board is scheduled for March 21, 2024. Josipovic is still in a dispute with his union, Unifor, which he claims has been unhelpful in advancing the arbitration process to address his grievances and reinstate his job or reach a settlement agreement. He mentioned that he loved his job at DHL, had been employed there for years, and had built up seniority.

Dozens of Ottawa protestors file several lawsuits seeking tens of millions of dollars from the government, RCMP, banks, and others over the Emergency Act invocation that was ruled unconstitutional. Over the last week, dozens of individuals who were arrested and had their bank accounts frozen have filed multiple lawsuits seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages. The lawsuits include Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Deputy Canadian Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland, the Attorney General of Canada, RCMP, banks, and many others, over the invocation of the Emergencies Act—a move that has recently been declared unconstitutional by Federal Court Judge Justice Mosley. Edward Cornell, a retired Canadian soldier, and Vincent Gircys, a retired OPP officer along with 18 others, have filed a lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court against Justin Trudeau, Chrystia Freeland, the RCMP, banks, and several others, seeking $2 million in damages each. Edward Cornell and Vincent Gircys are the two men who became the main applicants in the case against the Canadian government that Justice Mosley ruled in favor of, finding the government's actions unconstitutional over the invocation of the Emergencies Act and the freezing of bank accounts. Clayton McAllister, who is one of the 20 applicants in the lawsuit, spoke with The Canadian Independent and said he was one of the first protestors to be arrested after the Emergencies Act was declared. He said he lied down on his back in the snow in front of a swarm of officers before he was arrested. Clayton says he was "arrested, then taken into a paddy wagon and left in it for 8 hours, then driven out of town and dropped off at a gas station with my cellphone only at one percent." He also says "Police took my keys to my truck, which was parked downtown Ottawa, so I had no way to get my truck. Then two days later, I watched them on TV smash the windows to my truck, and after that, all my bank accounts were frozen." Tamara Lich and her husband, Dwayne Lich, have together filed a lawsuit in Alberta’s Court of King's Bench against His Majesty the King and the Attorney General of Canada, seeking $2 million in damages over the freezing of their bank accounts. Daniel Bulford, a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police intelligence officer and sniper who was part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s security team, has also filed a statement of claim in Alberta’s Court of Queen's Bench against His Majesty the King and the Attorney General of Canada, seeking $2 million in damages over the freezing of his bank accounts. Thomas James Marazzo, a former military officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, who had his bank account frozen, has launched an individual lawsuit against His Majesty the King and the Attorney General of Canada, seeking nearly $2.4 million. Joanne Cyr Walsh, a senior citizen, has filed a $1.1 million lawsuit in Toronto's Ontario Superior Court against His Majesty the King and the Attorney General of Canada. The Canadian Independent spoke with Joanne and she said, “I am a senior. I was arrested and publicly humiliated. My arrest was captured live on CBC, and it's costing tons of money in legal fees and traveling costs. It is time-consuming and prevents me from earning income as an artist.” She says her bank account was not frozen. Just over two years ago, on January 29, 2022, the Freedom Convoy truckers and protestors descended on the nation's capital in Ottawa to protest COVID-19 mandates and restrictions. Truckers rolled in with horns blaring, guided by police, to park their vehicles out front of the Parliament building and throughout various downtown Ottawa streets. The city of Ottawa became a hot spot for weeks, bringing together thousands of Canadians in frigid temperatures who were sick and tired of the government's mandates and restrictions. On February 7th, 2022, ten days after the Freedom Convoy arrived in Ottawa, residents of the city filed an emergency injunction against the truckers over loud noise related to the constant honking of horns. Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean ultimately granted the injunction for 10 days but also ordered that the truckers and protestors could “remain at liberty to engage in a peaceful, lawful, and safe protest.” Four days later, on February 11, 2022, the Ontario government declared a state of emergency over the protest in Ottawa and another protest that had emerged at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ontario, blocking portions of the Canada-United States border. Two days later, on February 13, 2022, the protest and partial border blockade at the Windsor border were cleared by police after Superior Court Chief Justice Geoffrey B. Morawetz granted an injunction filed by the Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association and the City of Windsor. The injunction granted “Police or designated agents authorization to remove any vehicles, personal property, equipment, structures, or other objects that impede or block access to the Ambassador Bridge and approaching roadways.” Chief Justice Morawetz’s also ordered that protestors could “remain at liberty to engage in a peaceful, lawful, and safe protest, that does not impede or block access to the Ambassador Bridge and approaching roadways.” The following day, on February 14, 2022, after the Windsor, Ontario border blockade was cleared, the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act against peaceful protestors in Ottawa. This led to an army of police descending on Ottawa, civilians being injured, arrests being made, vehicle seizures, and the freezing of Canadian citizen’s bank accounts. Two years later, on January 23, 2024, news headlines around the world broke after Federal Court Justice Richard G. Mosely ruled on a case brought by several Canadian citizens and civil rights organizations against the government over the invocation of the Emergencies Act and the freezing of Canadians' bank accounts. The ruling found that the federal government's invocation of the Emergencies Act and the freezing of bank accounts was unconstitutional. Justice Mosley excluded three applicants from the case—Kristen Nagle of Canadian Frontline Nurses, Jeremiah Jost, and Harold Ristau—stating that they lacked standing to challenge the case because they were not directly impacted by the Emergencies Act. That left two individuals whom Justice Mosley agreed were directly impacted by the Emergencies Act: Edward Cornell, a retired Canadian soldier, and Vincent Gircys, a retired OPP officer, along with the two civil rights organizations—the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) and the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF)—who assisted the applicants in litigating the case. Ultimately, Mosley ruled that the government's invocation of the Emergencies Act exceeded its legal powers and found that the government violated Canadians' Section 2(b) Charter of Rights, which gives all Canadians the “freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.” Justice Mosley's decision was based on evidence that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) did not consider the protest a national state of emergency, a requirement for invoking the Emergencies Act. Mosley also ruled that the government's freezing of Canadians' bank accounts violated Canadians' charter rights under Section 8, which states that “everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.” The Canadian Independent will continue to monitor these lawsuits and bring you any developments along the way.

EXCLUSIVE: Young Ontario woman's life becomes a living hell after Moderna booster shot leaves her paralyzed. Doctors confirm vaccine connection and offer Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). Kayla Pollock is a 37-year-old mother from Ontario whose life took a drastic turn after receiving a Moderna Covid-19 booster shot. She experienced paralysis from the neck down and has been enduring a challenging ordeal ever since. Kayla's early years were marked by unspeakable cruelty and suffering. As an infant, she endured the horrors of severe abuse, including broken bones, cigarette burns, and bruises inflicted upon her helpless body by her parents. Her distressing situation prompted the intervention of family and children services, ultimately leading to her placement in a caring, loving and supportive home. As she grew older, Kayla dedicated the majority of her younger adult years to behavioral training of exotic animals. However, she eventually made the decision to resign from this profession after having her son, recognizing the inherent risks of the job. Kayla eventually ended up in the small town of Mount Albert, Ontario, where she co-raised her son after a separation. She worked as a casual educational assistant at Robert Munsch Public School, assisting kindergarten children. Her home was conveniently located right next to the school. Kayla's son attended the same school where she worked, and she expressed her love for her job and the positive direction her life was heading. Describing herself as fit, healthy, and very active, Kayla enjoyed hiking, being outdoors, gardening, and going places with her son. When the pandemic struck, Kayla recalls the mainstream media, politicians, and public health officials emphasizing the severity of the virus and urging everyone to get vaccinated. She remembers health officials specifically advising that those at highest risk should prioritize getting vaccinated. Being immunocompromised and a type one diabetic, Kayla heeded the advice of health officials and received the first two Pfizer shots in the middle of 2021 and didn’t experience any issues. Additionally, she mentions another reason for getting vaccinated was because her father resided in a long-term care facility with dementia, and vaccination was going to be a requirement for entry into the care home. Kayla then decided to take a booster, but this time it was a Moderna booster shot. She recounts going to a vaccination drive and the police being there. She found that odd and questioned why the police were present. According to Kayla, people were upset that Moderna was being given out instead of Pfizer, and that was the reason for the police presence. Kayla says that something didn’t sit right in her gut, but she went ahead with the Moderna booster shot anyway. She explains her reasoning for getting the third shot was because she felt like a third one would be mandated at some point to get access into her dads long term care home. She received the Moderna booster shot on January 11, 2022. Four days later, Kayla described a situation where her legs just gave out, and she collapsed, but all seemed fine a short time later. Then, nine days later, she experienced a similar event, and at that time, she called her doctor, asking to see a neurologist because she suspected something wasn’t right. On the morning of February 22, 2022, Kayla's life took an irreversible turn. As she awoke, opened her eyes, a sudden realization struck her – she couldn't move her body. Despite the shock, she says she remained calm and started yelling for help. Fortunately, her boyfriend who spent the night, was in the driveway preparing to leave for work, and heard her cries for help. Her boyfriend called 911 and Kayla was transported to Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket, Ontario. While in the emergency department Kayla recounts that the attending physician initially dismissed her symptoms, suggesting that it was all in her head and portrayed her as a "crazy person," and ordered a psychiatric consult. All of what Kayla describes happening is evident in her medical records which we obtained and reviewed. Eventually, an MRI was conducted, revealing that Kayla had a very large lesion on her spinal cord. A neurologist followed up with Kayla and recommended a course of steroids in an attempt to decrease the size of the lesion. Kayla questioned the neurologist and asked if the lesion could be a tumor. In an audio recording taken by Kayla’s boyfriend, the neurologist responds, saying, “it's less likely a tumor” and that it is his “gut impression it was caused by the vaccine.” When Kayla questions the doctor as to whether many people have had something similar happen to them, the doctor responds, saying “many people have had it.” Later, Kayla would learn that she had developed transverse myelitis, a condition that interrupts the transmission of messages along the spinal cord nerves throughout the body. She would go on to spend several months in the hospital, where she says she was offered medical assistance in dying (MAID) on two occasions but rejected the offer. During Kayla's hospital stay, she received steroids, which she claims helped to some extent, allowing her to regain very slight movement in her arms, hands, and fingers. However, she still has absolutely no feeling from the neck down. Visually examining her fingernails reveals decay due to the lack of nerve function. Kayla believes that if the initial doctor had taken her concerns seriously, rather than dismissing her as a "crazy person," and promptly ordered an MRI, she might have been able to walk again or experience sensation in some parts of her body that she doesn’t have today. After her initial treatment at the local hospital, Kayla was subsequently transferred to Lyndhurst Rehabilitation Centre in Toronto to undergo several months of intensive rehabilitation aimed at attempting to restore her physical capabilities and adapting to her new reality. Unfortunately, Kayla says that rehab did not help her. Following her discharge from the hospital, she now takes a long list of drugs daily. She ended up losing everything she worked hard for—her home, the ability to co-raise her son, and her job, essentially losing everything. Kayla was placed on provincial disability and was forced to move away from Mount Albert, where her son lives, into an apartment that could accommodate her wheelchair accessibility needs. Kayla has faced challenges in obtaining the promised hours of in-home care after leaving the hospital. Kayla relies on a personal support worker to help her get out of bed each morning, another organization assists with meal preparation, and in the evenings, a friend comes over to manually extract feces from her bowel and aid her in getting into bed. Securing compensation through the federal government’s Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) has been difficult for Kayla. She initiated the application process in July of 2022, following up with the program six months later. However, according to Kayla, her application was still under review at that time. Another six months elapsed, and when she sought an update, the program informed her that they had never received her initial application. In response, Kayla reapplied to the program and was recently assigned a case worker. Uncertainty looms over whether she will be approved and, if approved, when she will receive any form of compensation. Kayla faces challenges in performing simple tasks both at home and in the community. She is in a difficult financial situation and desperately seeks a service dog. According to her, having a service dog would not only assist her with daily tasks but also offer companionship, providing her with much-needed company. An organization called Veterans 4 Freedom has stepped in to help Kayla and has set up a GiveSendGo campaign to help her raise funds for a service dog. A link to that fundraising campaign is below. https://www.givesendgo.com/kaylapollock

33-year-old Canadian MSM journalist who heavily promoted the Covid-19 vaccine, advocated for vaccine passports, and the firing of those who refused the jab has died after being hospitalized and “declared neurologically dead.” Ian Vandaelle, a 33-year-old Canadian business journalist, worked as a reporter and editor at the Financial Post and was previously a producer at BNN Bloomberg for over a decade. Stephanie Hughes, Vandaelle’s partner, shared the news of his death on her X account on December 5, 2023, stating, “I haven’t been on Twitter for a while because my partner, @IanVandaelle, has been in the hospital since Nov. 18. It’s with a heavy heart today that I say he was declared neurologically deceased this week and taken off life support this morning. He was 33 years old.” Vandaelle had taken to social media multiple times, advocating for incentives to encourage Covid-19 vaccination, the implementation of vaccine passports, and the termination of those who refused the jab. In one social media post, Vandaelle stated, “I, for one, advocate we bring the carrot and the stick. Incentivize getting the vaccine however we like - ice cream, lotteries, literally whatever, I don’t care - and require vaccination to do non-essential things. Wanna go to a bar to watch the game? Passport.” In another post, he urged the Toronto Police to terminate members who declined the jab, saying, “Take the jab or resign; anything else is moral and ethical cowardice. You take an oath to protect citizens? You get vaxxed. Shameful that we have to say this.” Vandaelle seemed in good health and actively engaged in work, as indicated by various social media posts before his hospitalization.

Must Watch: Dr. Byram Bridle unveils recent discoveries of DNA contamination present in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. He suggests that this revelation could serve as compelling evidence to pursue legal action against the manufacturers. Dr. Byram Bridle joined the World Council for Health to explain new findings of DNA contamination in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. While some of Dr. Byram's explanations about the contamination may pose a challenge for the average person to understand, the essence of his message is clear: the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are contaminated. Towards the end of the video, starting at the 15:39:30 mark, Dr. Bridle explains how attorneys could leverage this discovery to pursue legal action against manufacturers.

Ottawa School Board Trustee Nili Kaplan-Myrth faces allegations of breaching the Board Member Code of Conduct over a series of text messages sent to another Trustee, attempting to persuade her to vote in favor of a school mask mandate back in 2022. The accusations against Myrth arise from numerous text messages exchanged with another Trustee, Donna Dickson, in the fall of 2022. Within these text messages, Myrth persistently seeks to convince Dickson to vote in favor of a school mask mandate. The text message evidence reveals that Myrth sent dozens of text messages attempting to sway Trustee Dickson towards supporting the school mask mandate. In response, Dickson states that she intends to vote against the mandate, citing feedback from her constituents. Myrth subsequently sends almost a dozen more texts and asks Dickson to abstain from voting. Myrth then texts Dickson, saying, “Don't vote with white supremacists.” Dickson responds, telling Myrth to “Leave me alone.” Following this, Myrth sends a few more text messages, accusing Trustee Dickson of being “disrespectful.” Myrth is accused of violating the below mentioned code of conduct. 3.17 When expressing individual views, Board members shall respect the differing points of view of other Board members, staff, students and the public. 3.18 Board members shall, at all times, act with decorum and shall be respectful of other Board members, staff, students and the public. The board will render its decision at tonight’s school board meeting.

Charges Dropped Against Elderly Man Who Was Arrested and Charged for Honking His Horn During the Freedom Convoy Protest in Ottawa. The Canadian Independent spoke with Criminal Defence Attorney David Anber, who represented Gerald Charlebois, the nearly 80-year-old elderly man who was arrested by police in a video that went viral during the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa. According to Anber, Charlebois was stopped by Ottawa Police for "allegedly honking his horn." This act had been prohibited at the time due to a temporary injunction issued by a judge. The injunction was in response to trucks affiliated with the Freedom Convoy that had parked their vehicles in Ottawa's downtown core, continuously blaring their horns. The video of Mr. Charlebois' arrest garnered significant attention in February 2022. In the footage, a bystander can be heard advising the elderly man not to answer the police's questions. A few minutes later, the same individual instructs Charlebois not to surrender his driver's license. Charlebois then informs the officer that he is not going to provide his driver's license and is subsequently placed under arrest, fined, and charged $118 for 'unnecessary noise.' Anber says that this charge was likely dropped because "Failing to provide your driver's licence is not an arrestable offence." Anber cited a court of appeal case, R. v. Plummer, to support this argument. Anber stated that "if a person fails to give a driver's licence, the police officer must ask the person to identify him or herself verbally, and - assuming no issue with the truthfulness of that verbal ID - the officer may not arrest the person." Anber mentioned that the crown did not specify why they dropped the charge against Charlebois but suggested it was likely because "they had no reasonable prospect of conviction in light of the unlawful arrest and the lengthy delay in bringing the matter before the Courts." As a result of his arrest, Mr. Charlebois sustained several bruises and cuts to his hands, wrists, and knee area. When asked about the potential of a civil suit against the Ottawa Police over Charlebois' arrest, his attorney responded, "Mr. Charlebois may have a civil remedy available to him against the police, and I don't deal with civil suits."
