Thank you for promoting my article on the bank seizures and the banker’s direct culpability in this unlawful, nondemocratic and unconstitutional act. It truly stuns me, every time I think about it that a vast majority of Canadians, in general, were neither outraged nor disturbed by this outrageous act of authoritarianism. They seemed to think it is only the ‘nasty’ truckers — those ‘racists and bigots’ the government would do this to, not just ordinary Canadians. It never seemed to occur to them that those truckers were just ordinary Canadians. The Trudeau government’s move shocked more people internationally than it did its own citizens. That has always disturbed me.
I appreciate this friendly response to my decision to highlight your very important essay of 2 December 2022. Ever since I first saw the PEOC in action, I came to see that comment in Freeland's notes about designating the Truckers movement as terrorists to be smeared and punished, as one of the keys to understanding the ongoing confusion about the real responsibility for the high-level and ongoing COVID crimes. The addition of the info you brought by exposing the role of the Royal Bank's CEO is stunning in its drama and implications. I hope David McKay feels the need to make an explanation and an apology for his careless wrongdoing in adding to the tyranny we face as average Canadians. I'm sure I will have more to say about your comments here in due course. I hope we can confer sometime on the ongoing significance of what we are seeing or not seeing as this important part of our everything crisis continues to unfold.
Thanks again. There were two of the notes of Freeland’s the piqued my interest and led me to come to the conclusion about the banks, which I passed on the Ray McGinnis. Unfortunately his book Unjustified on the convoy was already going into print when I had passed this material onto him, so he said he has to wait until a reprint of the second edition to make those changes. Anyhow, back to the notes, which I had hoped I could attach in this note, but I guess not. The first one on Privy Council note paper had Daryll/BMO at the top. So I did a quick google search… Daryll BMO… was Daryll White CEO Bank of Montreal. That wasn’t a coincidence. And of course the second was Dave…who was the one suggesting that the truckers be designated a terrorist group…who was of course Dave McKay CEO Royal Bank. Now the Convoy’s lawyer Brendan Miller, was already becoming a bit unravelled by this point when he was questioning Freeland and he assumed the Dave was Dave Vigneault the director of CSIS. Freeland was likely relieved Miller hadn’t made the bank connection, so she played dumb simply denying it was Vigneault. But she knew bloody well who the Dave was. That said, I am dumbfounded that no one did that tiny bit of detective work on this… because perhaps some bank CEOs could have then been brought into to testify as to why they actually prodded the already corrupt authoritarian Trudeau government to freeze the bank accounts of their own clients.
Thanks for explaining your research process. I was kind of inspired to see Brendan Miller here in Lethbridge recently as the lawyer for Marco Van Huigenbos. During the Rouleau Inquiry my wife and I watched Brendan with enjoyment questioning Freeland. I watched them do the dance on "Dave" in their exchange. Obviously Freeland was not forthcoming about who Dave is because she's a deep down spook who thinks nothing about keeping Canadians in the dark about what she is doing, at WEF and elsewhere on our behalf. I left the topic of Dave but you didn't. That's wonderful that you didn't. So now we are here. Ray McGinnes and I have been exchanging observations and info for sometime. Have you ever been in the court gallery at Lethbridge?
No I live in Ottawa, so I have been attending a good deal of the Lich Barber trial and doing a number of pieces on that. My coverage and commentary on Coutts has mostly comes from podcasts, my own research, the HateGate report, and Gord Magill, who I have had a considerable amount of contact with, as well some of the women who were helping the men… Danielle, Nikki, and Jerry Morin’s wife Jacelyn, Trish Wood, and Ray McGinnis, who is going to be in Ottawa at the end of the month. The three, just from the newspaper reports on their sentencing and weaving my own commentary.
Boy it sure would have heated things up at the inquiry had Brendan Miller known about the 2 CEO Bankers Darryl White and Dave McKay and their role with Freeland. I posted a link below from independent journalist Right Blend from the Ottawa court house on the Pat King sentencing from yesterday where the Crown is outrageously asking for 10 years claiming they knocked it down from 14 years, for mischief charges that typically draw only 30 days in jail. Pure Skullduggery on the Crown's part !
I think, but I can’t be sure that this was the Crown Attorney that was removed from the Lich Barber trial due to his over zealousness and prominent bias. I think even the powers that be knew that the Lich Barber trial would be too high profile for this guy to play his clown show for all too see.
"It truly stuns me, every time I think about it that a vast majority of Canadians, in general, were neither outraged nor disturbed by this outrageous act of authoritarianism."
Roxanne: I don't even live in your province, and I've noted this too, and lost hair over it. I live in one of the worst provinces of this former country and I can say from experience that what the "perpetrators" have banked (pardon the pun) on is the fact that most people don't pay adequate or any attention most of the time.
All true. Nevertheless the emergence of the Truckers' Freedom Convoy movement did happen in Canada. Such a thing was possible here. So maybe something like it might or could happen again. And even if it doesn't, human dignity demands that the struggle continues regardless of the likelihood of "victory." Keeping alive the continuity is a big part of surviving in hope... at this point survival itself, which is served by some measure of hope, represents a kind of defiance.
Tony: in my heart of hearts I want to agree with you. Obviously, if "we" give up and become indifferent and neutered, we're done for.
But from a pragmatic standpoint I cannot help but realize this is a numbers game. The authoritarianism and tyranny that ramped up during Covid and literally inverted reality is a mass phenomenon. The perps don't really care if there is a vanishingly small number of dissidents - they've accounted for that.
Maybe my experience is an outlier? I live in a dying rural hinterland in southern Quebec, and my efforts to wake people up throughout the last 5 years have been largely fruitless. Too many people I actually know in my social orbit are utterly devoid of curiosity, indifferent and lazy. Because it does not seem to even occur to them to recognize that "something is fishy", they never get out of the start gates and begin asking questions. I can easily name at least a dozen people who do not even know what substack is, for instance.
I could blather on at length about this but instead I'll leave you with a quote I remember that aptly summarizes the sentiments you wrote above about the necessity for a "measure of hope".
From "A Poem of Difficult Hope" ~ Wendell Berry
"Much protest is naive; it expects quick, visible improvement and despairs and gives up when such improvement does not come. Protesters who hold out for longer have perhaps understood that success is not the proper goal. If protest depended on success, there would be little protest of any durability or significance. History simply affords too little evidence that anyone's individual protest is of any use. Protest that endures, I think, is moved by a hope far more modest than that of public success: namely, the hope of preserving qualities in one's own heart and spirit that would be destroyed by acquiescence."
Excellent update Tony. I was unaware that it was RBC CEO McKay who was the one to actually counsel Minister Freeland to designate the Trucker Convoy as 'terrorists'. Unreal ! So much real harm came from that counselling directive that I believe he should be charged under the Criminal Code of Canada for 'counselling mischief, committed'.
Speaking of which in Ottawa today one of the prominent members of the convoy protest Pat King, is in Ottawa at his sentencing hearing. He was convicted of 5 minor charges on 'counselling mischief NOT committed', that typically gets you a 30 day jail term. In King's case the Crown has made ludicrous arguments, saying a potential of 26 years, knocked down to 14, then knocked down to 10 years, would be somehow fair. The judge based on the very passionate reporting of 'Right Blend' media seems to very much disagree with the Crown.
These trials are very much 'show trials' in my opinion, designed to send a clear message to the public, 'if we can do this to them, imagine what we can do to you' Check it out. https://x.com/rightblend/status/1880350971261546836
Absolutely they we are seeing disgraceful show trials meant to keep the truth overturned so that the really high level criminal cabals operating in the world right now, like the Trudeau entourage, can continue to avoid legal accountability. When it first came out that Freeland's grandfather was Hitler's chief propagandist in the Galicia area, which includes much of present-day Ukraine, she vowed that all of this history was of no relevance anymore. Not so it seems. Seeing Freeland jump on the proposal of the Royal Bank President to designate her political opponents as terrorists, seems to cut against all her pleas that she should not be compared to her grandfather.
Then came her purposeful determination to twist a feature in the ceremony of the whole Canadian Parliament in September of 2023 so that Waffen SS veteran Hunka was honoured with two standing ovations. Freeland has contributed a lot to the disgrace of the Liberal Party and she should never again be allowed to get anywhere near the Office of the Canadian Prime Minister. This honouring of Hunka can be compared with the US Congress honouring genocidaire Benjamin Netanyahu with many standing ovations.Time to do away with treating the top levels of criminals in our society as if they are above the law.
Thank you for connecting more of the dots in this scandalously colluded fraud perpetrated on the Canadian people. The truth eventually comes out, I so hope this will filter through to the millions of Canadians who to this day feel there was justification to lock down the country during the annual cold and flu season allowing totalitarianism to flourish under fear mongering of the extreme. History now proves there never was a pandemic, which initiated the release of the experimental jab, through admission by the manufacturers, did nothing to stop you succumbing to the threat, nor stopped the spread and did nothing to mitigate the symptoms. I do truly hope sub-stacks like this will bring accountability of the true criminals one step closer.
Thank-you Professor Hall for another great substack essay. FYI...Mark Carney (The Godfather) wrote an opinion piece in The Globe & Mail on Feb.7, 2022 "It's time to end sedition in Ottawa by enforcing the law and following the money".
Very interesting Eldric Vero. What sedition does he think he think has happened? Where might following the money lead. Carney's commodification of sequestering carbon creates an obvious emblem of one of those handling money and doing sedition in ways that should be followed. Can we get to the evidence of how Carney sees it. Can you get behind the Globe pay wall? Thanks.
