Court strikes secret police recording from trial and dismisses all charges against protestor

From the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is pleased to announce that all charges against peaceful Freedom Convoy protestor Ben Spicer have been dropped. Mr. Spicer was arrested in Ottawa on February 19, 2022, and charged with mischief, obstructing justice, and weapons charges. In his decision, Justice Timothy Lipson ruled that a secret recording of Mr. Spicer violated his Charter rights.
Like thousands of other Canadians, Mr. Spicer attended the peaceful Freedom Convoy protest in the nation’s capital. He was standing near the intersection of Bank Street and Sparks Street when police struck him at least twice in the midsection. An officer pulled him off the ground and handed him over to another officer. His backpack and jacket were searched, revealing a can of bear spray and a folding pocketknife. He explained that these were from a recent hiking trip. He had not taken the items out of his backpack or jacket at any time during the protest.
Officers loaded Mr. Spicer into a police van – equipped with a video and audio recording device. Mr. Spicer was not aware that he was being recorded. There were no signs, and he was not told by the officers. At no point was Mr. Spicer able to access legal counsel.
His trial proceeded at the Ontario Court of Justice from November 6 to 8, 2023, and again from April 16 to 18, 2024. The Crown tried to submit the recording as evidence against Mr. Spicer. They argued that the Court should infer criminal activity from the contents of the recording and that Mr. Spicer had no reasonable expectation of privacy in a police vehicle. Mr. Spicer’s defence counsel disagreed. To rule that a detainee has no reasonable expectation of privacy while in police custody would be to favour the outcomes of law enforcement without any proper regard for the rights of detainees. His defence also argued that there was no evidence of criminal activity against Mr. Spicer and that his arrest was, therefore, unlawful.
On August 2, 2024, Justice Lipson ruled that Mr. Spicer had a reasonable expectation of privacy while in custody, especially since Mr. Spicer is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Because Justice Lipson found that the secret recording violated Mr. Spicer’s privacy rights, the recording was excluded as evidence from the trial.
Justice Lipson also found that police had no grounds for the arrest. Indeed, police had breached his right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned – protected by section 9 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Because his arrest was unlawful, Justice Lipson ruled that the search of his backpack and jacket was also unlawful and excluded the contents as evidence as well. All Canadians have the right to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure – protected by section 8 of the Charter. Finally, Justice Lipson found that police had breached his right to retain and instruct counsel without delay – protected by section 10(b) of the Charter. All charges against Mr. Spicer were dismissed.
Lawyer Monick Grenier stated, “I am very satisfied that the judge recognized serious breaches of Mr. Spicer’s section 8, 9, and 10(b) Charter rights, and excluded the evidence after conducting an analysis, effectively gutting the Crown’s case.”
Mr. Spicer stated, “I am extremely grateful for everything that the Justice Centre and Ms. Grenier has done. I thank the Justice Centre for funding my defence, with particular thanks to all those who donated.”

Top COVID doctor given one of Canada’s highest honors

From LifeSiteNews
Dr. Theresa Tam received the Order of Canada for her controversial COVID-19 response as the nation’s chief public health officer.
Canada’s former top medical advisor, known for her promotion of masking and COVID vaccines, has received one of Canada’s highest honors.
On June 30, Governor General Mary Simon awarded Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s former Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO), the Order of Canada award for her work implementing dangerous COVID regulations, including masking and experimental COVID shots.
“For decades, Theresa Tam has striven to advance global and national public health as a pediatric infectious disease specialist and public servant,” the press release read.
“Her tenure as Canada’s chief public health officer has been characterized by her commitment to health equity and highlighted by her leadership role in the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” it continued.
The award, given to Canadians who have made extraordinary contributions to the nation, is Canada’s second-highest civilian honor.
Tam’s reception of the award comes just weeks after she stepped down as CPHO, ending her eight-year tenure in the position.
In the early months of 2020, Tam became well-known by Canadians for leading the country’s response to the COVID “pandemic” and pushing arbitrary and dangerous regulations.
Initially, Tam assured Canadians that masking was unnecessary, ineffective, and could even pose health threats.
However, shortly after, Tam changed her policy, telling Canadians that they should even wear masks during sex, a practice which has not been proven to be effective in preventing the spread of COVID and can cause myriad health issues.
Additionally, Tam promoted experimental COVID vaccines for Canadians as young as six months old despite having no long-term studies on its effects and an extensive amount of research proving the dangers of the experimental COVID mRNA jabs that include heart damage and blood clots.
In 2022, after thousands of Canadians reported adverse effects from the vaccine, Tam announced that the federal government was reviewing all federal COVID vaccine mandates, claiming that Canada’s Public Health Agency has never outright endorsed mandatory vaccination.
Tam’s remarks come after more than 1,000 federal workers have been suspended without pay because they chose not to get the COVID jabs or disclose whether they had them per the Privacy Act.
The Order of Canada was also awarded to British Columbia Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry, who is known not only for her heavy-handed COVID response, but also for promoting drug use throughout the province.
In 2023, hundreds of British Columbia health care workers sued Henry for ongoing COVID shot mandates preventing them from working. Under Henry, vaccine passports were implemented which required residents to show digital proof of vaccination to enter gyms, restaurants, and other “non-essential” facilities.
Henry also pushed the experimental and dangerous vaccine on children as young as five, despite that fact that clinical trials would not be completed for another two years.
Additionally, in 2024, Henry recommended that British Columbia expand its “safe supply” program to legalize fentanyl and heroin, despite evidence that the program is not working and has worsened the provinces drug crises.

New Peer-Reviewed Study Affirms COVID Vaccines Reduce Fertility

Here’s what the numbers reveal, and what it could mean for humanity
What was once dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” now has hard data behind it.
A new peer-reviewed study out of the Czech Republic has uncovered a disturbing trend: in 2022, women vaccinated against COVID-19 had 33% FEWER successful conceptions per 1,000 women compared to those who were unvaccinated.
A “successful conception” means a pregnancy that led to a live birth nine months later.
The study wasn’t small. It analyzed data from 1.3 million women aged 18 to 39.
Here’s what the numbers reveal, and what it could mean for humanity.
First, let’s talk about the study.
It was published by Manniche and colleagues in the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine, a legitimate, peer-reviewed journal respected for its focus on patient safety and pharmacovigilance.
The study was conducted from January 2021 to December 2023 and examined 1.3 million women aged 18–39. By the end of 2021, approximately 70% of them had received at least one COVID-19 vaccination, with 96% of the vaccinated cohort having received either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
By 2022, a stark difference was clear.
The vaccinated cohort averaged around 4 successful conceptions per 1,000 women per month.
That’s a staggering 33% LESS than the 6 per 1,000 seen in the unvaccinated group.
This means that for every 2 vaccinated women who successfully conceived and delivered a baby, 3 unvaccinated women did the same.
In 2022, unvaccinated women were 1.5 times MORE likely to have a successful conception.
Again, that’s a conception that led to a live birth nine months later.
The authors did not jump to the conclusion that their study proved causation. They cited that other factors may have played a role, such as self-selection bias
However, the researchers noted that self-selection bias does not explain the timing and scale of the observed drop in fertility.
Moreover, birth rates in the Czech Republic dropped from 1.83 per 1,000 women in 2021 to 1.37 in 2024, adding further evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines may be contributing to the decline in fertility.
That downward trend, the researchers argue, supports the hypothesis that something beyond individual decision-making may be affecting conception rates.
As such, they argue that the study’s results warrant a closer and more thorough examination of the impact of mass vaccination.
If this study holds true, and vaccinated women are really much less likely to have successful conceptions, the implications for humanity are massive.
Millions of babies could be missing each year as a result of COVID vaccination, and recent data from Europe and beyond already point to a deeply disturbing trend.
NOTE: Europe experienced a sharper decline in births than usual from 2021 to 2023.
Live births fell from 4.09 million in 2021 to 3.67 million in 2023, marking a 10.3% decline in just two years.
The new Czech study adds to growing evidence that COVID vaccines may be contributing to a dramatic decline in fertility, just as many feared all along.
As Elon Musk warns, “If there are no humans, there’s no humanity.”
Whether the shots are the cause or not, the trend is real—and it’s accelerating.
It’s time to stop dismissing the signals and start investigating the cause.
