- Airplane food cost more than $223K during Trudeau’s six-day Indo-Pacific trip, according to new records revealed by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Meals on board the plane included beef tenderloin and braised lamb shanks and were served on fine China. This Indo-Pacific trip, in which Trudeau and his team attended the G20 summit to ironically discuss “Sustainable Development Goals,” draws parallels to Gov. Gen. Mary Simon’s infamous March 2022 trip to Dubai, where she and her 29 guests incurred a $100,000 inflight catering bill over the course of a week.
- The Auditor General confirms that directors at Trudeau’s Green SDTC (Sustainable Development Technologies Canada) Slush Fund broke the law by funnelling taxpayer money to companies they own. Over $300M were paid to directors in conflict, including $217,000 to the SDTC’s chair’s own business.
- The Canadian Cancer Society is apologizing for using the term “cervix” on a web page for transgender and non-binary people “assigned female at birth.” The charity acknowledged in a section titled “Words Matter” that some members of the transgender community “may have mixed feelings about or feel distanced from words like ‘cervix’ and may prefer to use other terms such as ‘front hole.’”
- Tens of thousands of academic articles across multiple journals have been retracted after studies were found to be fake. The biggest hit publisher was Wiley, which just announced it will be closing 19 journals and has retracted more than 11,300 compromised papers that were purportedly “peer reviewed.” The sources of the fake science were found to be “paper mills”—businesses or individuals that, for a price, will list a scientist as an author of a wholly or partially fabricated paper.
- The Australian government has announced that “the future is cashless” and aims to be “a cashless society by 2030” as banks crack down on withdrawals, close ATMs, and branches ban cash altogether.
- While testifying during a House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic at Capitol Hill, Dr. Anthony Fauci confesses he “made up” COVID rules including 6-feet social distancing and masking kids.
- The “Fauci hearing” reveals that scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) received $710M in royalties (ten times above average) from drug makers during the pandemic years (late 2021-2023). Almost all that cash—$690M—went to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the sub-agency led by Dr. Fauci, and 260 of its scientists. NIH scientists can “legally” earn up to $150,000 a year in royalties; the rest gets invested back into the Institute (which in turn pays the scientists).
- US health officials tried to evade public records laws, lawmakers say. According to a statement made by the Whitehouse’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, NIH’s “FOIA lady” [Freedom of Information Act] went out of her way to teach Dr. Fauci’s team how to hide damning COVID information. New evidence shows that NIH’s officials were instructed to open an encrypted Protonmail account, misspell or use code for keywords, and forward confidential materials to Gmail to thwart federal law.
- Lime Scooters will now shut down if driven over the pride flag intersection in Washington state. Lime, a popular electric scooter and bike rental service, has announced it will be implementing a “no-go zone” around a pride flag painted intersection in Washington. The decision came after the Spokane WA Police Department announced the arrest of three teenagers on charges of “malicious mischief” (and are facing up to five years in prison) after their scooters left tire marks on a pride mural they rode over. According to the company’s website, entering a “no-go zone” will cause a Lime vehicle to “gradually come to a stop,” forcing a rider to walk their scooter until it is outside the zone.
- Dazelle Peters, a 17-year-old Australian teenager, has tragically passed away after being rejected for a potentially life-saving lung transplant because she had not been vaccinated against COVID-19. Despite the hospital’s claims that a COVID-19 vaccine would maximize Peters’ chances of survival, a case series published in April of 2022 by Elsevier (Alsunaid et al.) revealed that some lung transplant patients who had received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines ended up developing “new and significant respiratory compromise after their second vaccine dose, consistent with antibody mediated rejection.”
- Landmark study links microplastics to serious health problems. The study found that people who had microplastics lodged in a key blood vessel were significantly more likely to experience a heart attack or stroke (Marfella et al.). Meanwhile, another study published in Toxicological Sciences (Hu et al.) finds that all human testes studies had at least some presence of microplastics, and those with the highest pervasive presence had reduced sperm count. One study labeled face masks to be a “significant source” of microplastics in the environment (Ma et al.).
- The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) submits plans to implement mandatory tracking for all farm animals using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) electronic tags. Meanwhile, in England, as of October 1st, every chicken (even if you only own one) must be registered with the government or the owner faces up to a £5,000 fine or six months in prison.
- The charity Ovarian Cancer Action now claims that anyone of any gender can get ovarian cancer. Their post on X reads: “Did you know that anyone with ovaries, regardless of gender identity, can be at risk for ovarian cancer? Let’s raise awareness by asking: Can men get ovarian cancer? #PrideMonth”
- A summer camp on a remote island sponsored by The University of British Columbia offers “Drag” classes for kids as young as 14.
- Two Canadian doctors have just been suspended in an ivermectin sting operation. Last month, Saskatchewan suspended Dr. Tshipita Kabongo, with a $44,783 penalty, and Ontario suspended Dr. Jeremiah Hadwen with a $6,000 penalty and an order for re-education training. The sting operation consisted of a Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada investigator going undercover as a “Freedom Convoy” Trucker, covertly recording doctors prescribing ivermectin off-label.
- An Australian Senate committee revealed, according to the Western Australian government’s own data, COVID-19 vaccines had an “adverse event reporting rate 23.79 times greater per 100,000 doses than all other vaccines combined.”
- High levels of the weedkiller glyphosate were found in more than half (55%) of sperm samples, study finds. The new research (Vasseur et al.) also found evidence of impacts on DNA and a correlation between glyphosate levels and oxidative stress on seminal plasma, suggesting significant impacts on fertility and reproductive health. The paper comes as researchers look for answers to why global fertility rates are dropping.
- Nova Scotia’s House of Assembly passes a law under the Financial Measures Act that grants the government access to all of your personal medical records. The Financial Measures Act, also known as Bill 419, mandates that physicians, hospitals, and individuals with access to patient medical records must disclose them to the government.
