Trudeau gov’t launches new regulatory agency in case of ‘future pandemics’

“So Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada weren’t enough?”

Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party has announced a new government agency to regulate Canadians in case of “future pandemics” and “health emergencies.”

In a September 24 press release, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry François-Philippe Champagne and Minister of Health Mark Holland announced the launch of Health Emergency Readiness Canada (HERC), a government agency that is “dedicated to protecting Canadians against future pandemics and delivering on Canada’s life sciences and medical countermeasures readiness objectives.”

“HERC will serve as Canada’s focal point to help mobilize industry to respond in a coordinated approach to public health needs and to support the growth of a domestic life sciences sector,” the press release stated. .

According to the press release, the new program will mean “Canadians could get faster access to the most relevant and effective vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and other products, including when they need them the most.”

However, many Canadians are far from happy with this announcement, pointing to the program as a new form of government overreach.

“So Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada weren’t enough?” one user questioned. “We need a new bureaucracy? Won’t this bureaucracy be incentivized to exaggerate any health threat to justify their spending?”

We need a new bureaucracy?

Won't this bureaucracy be incentivized to exaggerate any health threat to justify their spending?

Canadians concerns are likely to do with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government’s response to the COVID-19 so-called pandemic, which included prolonged lockdowns and mandates. In addition to shutting down business and churches, the Trudeau government restricted unvaccinated Canadians from most forms of public travel.

Furthermore, anyone who dared to oppose mandates were severely punished, as seen by the 2022 Freedom Convoy which featured thousands of Canadians descending on Ottawa to protest the mandates, only to be met with Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act (EA) which allowed him to send a police force to disband the protest and freeze the bank accounts of Canadians who donated to the protest.

Canada’s new “health emergencies” program comes amid ongoing discussion regarding the World Health Organization’s controversial global pandemic treaty, which critics have warned would regulate all countries in the event of another “pandemic.”

As previously reported by LifeSiteNews, the Trudeau government recently requested that misinformation and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures be added to the treaty.

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis has repeatedly warned that the new International Health Regulations (IHR) contained in the treaty will compromise Canada’s sovereignty by giving the international organization increased power over Canadians.    

Lewis also gave her endorsement of a petition demanding the Liberal government under Trudeau “urgently” withdraw from the United Nations and its WHO subgroup, due to the organizations’ undermining of national “sovereignty” and the “personal autonomy” of citizens.     

The petition warned that the “secretly negotiated” amendments could “impose unacceptable, intrusive universal surveillance, violating the rights and freedoms guaranteed in the Canadian Bill of Rights and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”

How Wikipedia Got Captured: Leftist Editors & Foreign Influence On Internet’s Biggest Source of Info

I once reported how great Wikipedia is. But now, it’s manipulated by leftists. That’s a big problem because its bad information corrupts AI and search results. Even c0-founder Larry Sanger agrees.

But that’s just the beginning of the problem because “Wikipedia’s information spreads into everything online,” says ‪@ashleyrindsbergmedia‬ of ‪@NPOVmedia‬ .

That means when your ask ChatGPT, Google, or your phone a question, it’ll likely to take leftist spin straight from Wikipedia. Wikipedia bans most right-wing news sources and suggests Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist (but they don’t even call Fidel Castro’s successor authoritarian).

They’ve turned my Wikipedia page into a smear against me.

I explain in this video.

Digital ID

Canada releases new digital ID app for personal documents despite privacy concerns

Published on December 15, 2025

From LifeSiteNews

By Anthony Murdoch

The new GC Wallet is supposed to be a ‘foundational component’ of a controversial yet-to-come digital ID system.

Despite clear signs that most Canadians do not want a national digital ID, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney has quietly released a new type of digital ID app on Google’s Play Store called GC Wallet.

The new app appeared on Google sometime late last week and was developed by Canada’s Employment and Social Development department. This is the same department, as reported by LifeSiteNews, that recently said it would move ahead with digital identification for anyone seeking federal benefits, including seniors on Old Age Security.

The new GC Wallet, say officials, is a “secure and convenient way to store and access your official digital credentials,” allowing users to keep important documents on it, such as temporary visas along with pilot licenses, and has an offline QR code function built in.

According to the government, the new GC Wallet is supposed to be a “foundational component” of a yet-to-come digital ID system that most likely will be expanded to a variety of documents.

The app was blasted on X by Kyle Kemper, the half-brother of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

In an X post late last week, Kemper claimed the new app can “use your device’s camera to scan QR codes and import credentials issued by authorized institutions. Present your digital documents using dynamic QR codes or secure on-screen displays, making it easy to verify your identity and other information at airport boarding gates and other checkpoints.”

“The government of Canada has silently deployed a digital wallet on the Google Play Store for Digital ID. They have also cancelled an industry RFP process. I am digging into this and will offer detailed comments soon,” he wrote.

The GC Wallet is under development and, according to the feds, is “part of a limited Government of Canada pilot and is intended solely for use by approved participants.

The app is not available for broad public use at this time.

Last week, as reported by LifeSiteNews, without oversight from elected federal MPs, Canada’s Department of Immigration had research done to investigate a national ID system using digital passports for domestic use and how such a system would be enforced.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, the Canadian government hired outside consultants tasked with looking into whether or not officials should proceed with creating a digital ID system for all citizens and residents.

As per a May 20 Digital Credentials Issue memo, as noted by Blacklock’s Reporter, the “adoption” of such a digital ID system may be difficult.”

Digital IDs and similar systems have long been pushed by globalist groups like the World Economic Forum, an organization with which Carney has extensive ties, under the guise of ease of access and security.

One of Canada’s most staunchly pro-life MPs, Leslyn Lewis, recently warned Canadians to be “on guard” against a push by the ruling Liberal Party to bring forth Digital IDs, saying they should be voluntary.
