Former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada
| Before Canadians surrender anymore of their freedoms to COVID-19 propaganda, can we stop and ask some critical questions? |
McGeer cites government statistics (as of June 17) showing a COVID mortality rate of 22 deaths per 100,000 Canadians.
“By comparison, the death rate for influenza in Canada on an annual basis is usually between nine and 13 deaths per 100,000 people…”
Does this one statistic really make COVID “unquestionably” worse than the flu?
Are not questions a fundamental part of the scientific process, whereby a theory is tested over the fires of inquiry?
Is not the act of questioning at the heart of true journalism?
Would you not agree that our ability to question the decisions, motives and actions of our government protects our democracy from descending into tyranny?
I‘m sorry Dr. McGeer, but I do have a few critical questions. Especially considering what is at risk.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, our seventh Prime Minister, had a vision of Canada as a land of individual liberty and decentralized federalism. “Canada is free and freedom is its nationality,” he most famously said. “Nothing will prevent me from continuing my task of preserving at all cost our civil liberty.”
Today, being the 153rd anniversary of Confederation, I would like to follow Laurier’s example, exercising my freedom to question and my duty to preserve our civil liberties.
Let’s start with…
WHAT IS THE ACTUAL INFECTION-TO-FATALITY RATE FOR COVID-19 IN CANADA?
The Off-Guardian article was valuable. What bothers me most is the way the host of problems with the way the "pandemic" has been managed is not confined to any one country...It is the same list internationally. This in itself demands an explanation. If it was just in a boneheaded place such as Trump's America, it wouldn't be so hard to take. The US has been on a downward trajectory for decades, and an especially steep one since 2007. We don't know how to shoot straight any more. But everywhere else, too? It is unbelievable.

DeleteWhat would be your recommended response to it now?
And would you write a review to be posted here on this article?:

I would love to write a review. I'm guilty of procrastinating. It is time for that to end.
DeleteA review would be welcome. I suppose you could submit it as a comment. Alternatively, you could email it to me at gmail.com
Deletealfredburdett@, then I can set it up as a post under your name.
