COVID-19
Leading cause of death in Alberta (BY A LONG SHOT) is “Unknown”. Why isn’t our next Premier talking about this?
If you were to ask 10 random Albertans what the leading cause of death was in 2021, many would respond with either COVID-19, or perhaps cancer. If they really pay attention to things like this they might say heart disease or maybe dementia (old age).
Lucky for us the Province of Alberta has made the cause of death statistics public since 2001. If you’d like to see them, click here and download “Leading Causes of Death”. If you do, you’ll see that for 15 years in a row, from 2001 to 2015 the leading cause of death for Albertans was heart disease. Dementia makes a strong push toward the end of that time frame. By 2016 dementia became the leading cause of death for the next 5 years in a row. Here’s what the list of the top 10 causes of death looked like in 2019. That was the last year ‘before’ COVID-19 appeared on the list.
| 2019 | Organic dementia | 1 | 1997 |
| 2019 | All other forms of chronic ischemic heart disease | 2 | 1886 |
| 2019 | Malignant neoplasms of trachea, bronchus and lung | 3 | 1523 |
| 2019 | Other chronic obstructive pulmonary disease | 4 | 1159 |
| 2019 | Acute myocardial infarction | 5 | 1061 |
| 2019 | Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, so described | 6 | 678 |
| 2019 | Accidental poisoning by and exposure to drugs and other biological substances | 7 | 677 |
| 2019 | Stroke, not specified as hemorrhage or infarction | 8 | 602 |
| 2019 | Diabetes mellitus | 9 | 569 |
| 2019 | Other ill-defined and unknown causes of mortality | 10 | 522 |
Then along came COVID-19. In 2020 dementia remained the leading cause of death for Albertans, but COVID-19 came charging out of nowhere to become the 6th most common cause of death. It’s important to note though the stats say COVID-19 “identified”. That makes it unclear whether COVID was THE cause, A cause, or A symptom. The other interesting thing to note was that in 2020, suddenly “Unknown Causes” skyrocketed up to the fourth leading cause of death, outpacing even COVID.
| 2020 | Organic dementia | 1 | 2081 |
| 2020 | All other forms of chronic ischemic heart disease | 2 | 1897 |
| 2020 | Malignant neoplasms of trachea, bronchus and lung | 3 | 1563 |
| 2020 | Other ill-defined and unknown causes of mortality | 4 | 1464 |
| 2020 | Other chronic obstructive pulmonary disease | 5 | 1178 |
| 2020 | COVID-19, virus identified | 6 | 1084 |
| 2020 | Acute myocardial infarction | 7 | 1067 |
| 2020 | Accidental poisoning by and exposure to drugs and other biological substances | 8 | 920 |
| 2020 | Diabetes mellitus | 9 | 743 |
| 2020 | Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, so described | 10 | 670 |
In 2021 you might expect COVID-19 would leap into top place in the list of leading causes of death for Albertans. That’s not what happened. COVID did climb from the 6th most common cause of death to the 3rd most common cause, but at the same time “Unknown causes of mortality” EXPLODED into the top position.
Looking back on the last 20 years before 2021 the number 1 cause of death ranged from a low of 1,581 people dying of heart disease in 2012, to a high of 2,018 people dying of dementia in 2020. It was only 2020 when the number of people dying from any single cause topped 2,000 for the first time.
Then in 2021 a whopping 2,135 people died of dementia. That would be enough to be the number one cause of death any other year since records have been kept. Except it wasn’t because in 2021 3,362 people died of unknown causes! Not only did “unknown causes” of death rise above that threshold of 2,100. It DEMOLISHED that number.
| 2021 | Other ill-defined and unknown causes of mortality | 1 | 3362 |
| 2021 | Organic dementia | 2 | 2135 |
| 2021 | COVID-19, virus identified | 3 | 1950 |
| 2021 | All other forms of chronic ischemic heart disease | 4 | 1939 |
| 2021 | Malignant neoplasms of trachea, bronchus and lung | 5 | 1552 |
| 2021 | Acute myocardial infarction | 6 | 1075 |
| 2021 | Other chronic obstructive pulmonary disease | 7 | 1028 |
| 2021 | Diabetes mellitus | 8 | 728 |
| 2021 | Stroke, not specified as hemorrhage or infarction | 9 | 612 |
| 2021 | Accidental poisoning by and exposure to drugs and other biological substances | 10 | 604 |
It’s worth repeating, in 2021 “Unknown Causes” were responsible for the deaths of 3,362 Albertans! That’s over 50% more deaths than any of the leading causes since records have been made public!
Considering the Government of Alberta closed businesses, schools, and recreation centres for a virus responsible for 1,950 deaths in 2021 it is astounding that our media isn’t screaming and our government is not aggressively trying to figure out what caused the deaths of 3,362 Albertans!
It’s not just Alberta and Canada seeing this alarming trend. In England officials are reporting an increase in excess deaths of over 15% compared to the 5 year average. ” Harley Street GP Charles Levinson told The Spectator that while “every slight bump or uptick in the Covid numbers demands endless column inches”, there had been “total silence from so many” on the “damning” overall death statistics. “

It used to be the media’s job to take the data and ask questions. Somehow they’ve failed to recognize the significance of THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH sweeping much of the planet.
If you were unable to come up with your own questions when you watched John Campbell’s video, you might very much appreciate this commentary from Jimmy Dore.

Canadian gov’t to take control of vaccine injury program after reports of serious mismanagement
From LifeSiteNews
The Canadian federal gov’t will take over the Vaccine Injury Support Program from Oxaro by March 2026 following reports of misallocated funds, unresolved claims, and unprofessional conduct.
The federal government is taking over Canada’s vaccine injury program after reports have discovered mismanagement.
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is expected to take control of the Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) beginning on March 31, 2026, after a Global News report exposed the program for misallocating taxpayer funds and disregarding many vaccine-injured Canadians.
“We will publicly share further details on how the program will be delivered under PHAC when they become available,” Guillaume Bertrand, director of communications for Health Minister Marjorie Michel, told Global News.
Bertrand revealed that the government contract with Oxaro, the company tasked with running the VISP, will end in March, after which the federal government will take control.
“This is also part of our commitment to significantly reducing reliance on external consultants, while improving the capacity of the public service to hire expertise in-house,” Bertrand said.
Canada’s VISP was launched in December 2020 after the Canadian government gave vaccine makers a shield from liability regarding COVID-19 jab-related injuries; however, mismanagement within the program has led to many injured Canadians still waiting to receive compensation, while government contractors grow richer.
In July, Conservatives penned a letter calling for an investigation into the failing program, saying, “Despite the $50 million contract, over 1,700 of the 3,100 claims remain unresolved. Families dealing with life-altering injuries have been left waiting years for answers and support they were promised.”
Furthermore, the claims do not represent the total number of Canadians injured by the allegedly “safe and effective” COVID shots, as inside memos have revealed that Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) officials neglected to report all adverse effects from COVID shots and even went as far as telling staff not to report all events.
The PHAC’s downplaying of vaccine injuries is of little surprise to Canadians, as a 2023 secret memo revealed that the federal government purposefully hid adverse event reports so as not to alarm Canadians.
Of the $50.6 million that Oxaro Inc., has received, $33.7 million has been spent on administrative costs, compared to only $16.9 million going to vaccine-injured Canadians.
The letter further documented former VISP employees’ concerns that the program lacked professionalism and outlining what Conservatives described as “a fraternity house rather than a professional organization responsible for administering health-related claims.”
“Reports of constant workplace drinking, ping pong, and Netflix are a slap in the face to taxpayers and the thousands of Canadians waiting for support for life altering injuries,” the letter continued.
The federal government has ordered an audit into VISP. In late July, PHAC revealed that it is expediting its audit in light of reports of mismanagement within Oxaro.

Tamara Lich begs to differ with the Department of Public Safety’s claim that it acted with high ‘moral’ standards during the Freedom Convoy protests.
Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich is calling out Canada’s Department of Public Safety for “lies” after it boasted via an internal audit that it acted with a high “moral” standard in dealing with the 2022 protest against COVID mandates.
Lich made the comments on X earlier this week regarding a recent Department of Public Safety internal audit that heaped praise on itself for having “ethics” as well as a “moral compass” in dealing with the 2022 protesters.
The reality is that the self-boasting report comes after it was made known the Department of Public Safety had a role in spreading false claims that the Freedom Convoy was violent and was somehow funded by Russia.
As reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, the audit did not mention the false claims it made against the Freedom Convoy, which were used to allow then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to impose the Emergencies Act (EA) to clear out the protesters.
Indeed, in 2023, as reported by LifeSiteNews, disclosed records showed that Canada’s Department of Public Safety fabricated a security bulletin that claimed the Freedom Convoy protesters had plundered federal office buildings in an apparent attempt to discredit the movement.
The fake bulletin was sent out on January 28, 2022, at 3:54 p.m. and read: “We have received confirmation that protesters have started to enter office buildings in the Ottawa downtown core and are allegedly causing damage.”
The department’s recent boasting about itself, however, claimed that “(v)alues and ethics serve as a moral compass, guiding and establishing benchmarks for behaviour, decisions, actions and culture within organizations, including the public sector.”
“Federal public servants have a duty to preserve public trust and uphold a professional, non-partisan public service,” the internal audit noted.
Lich: Trudeau officials spread ‘lies, misinformation, disinformation, and division nationwide’
Regarding the recent audit, Lich noted that the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC) hearing, which was tasked with investigating Trudeau’s use of the EA to crush the Freedom Convoy in mid-February 2022, “showed no violence or threats to national security during the 2022 Freedom Convoy.”
“It revealed a cycle between media and law enforcement, each repeating unverified talking points from the other. Despite widespread support along highways, overpasses, and communities, the CBC and other taxpayer-funded media missed an opportunity to unite Canadians,” she wrote.
Lich believes that Trudeau’s governmental departments “instead” spread “lies, misinformation, disinformation, and division nationwide.”
“Consequently, some of us face regular death threats, hate mail, threats of violence, and public harassment,” she wrote.
“Thankfully, we receive much more love and support, but the damage is done, which is exactly what they were aiming for.”
The sentencing trial for Lich and fellow Freedom Convoy leader Chris Barber took place in July at a hearing. Earlier this year, they were found guilty of mischief in their roles in the 2022 convoy.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich revealed that the Canadian federal government is looking to put her in jail for no less than seven years and Barber for eight years.
A sentencing hearing has been scheduled in their case for October 7 in Ottawa.
The Freedom Convoy protest took place in early 2022 in Ottawa and featured thousands of Canadians calling for an end to COVID mandates.
In response, Trudeau’s federal government enacted the Emergencies Act on February 14, 2022, to shut down the popular movement.
Trudeau had disparaged unvaccinated Canadians, saying those opposing his measures were of a “small, fringe minority” who hold “unacceptable views” and do not “represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other.”
Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23 after the protesters had been cleared out.
