NDP FOLLOW LEAD OF CITIZEN-LED NCI, ALSO CALL FOR FEDERAL INQUIRY

News release from The National Citizens Inquiry
On November 2, Preston Manning launched the National Citizens’ Inquiry from Parliament. The NCI is a citizen-led, citizen-funded initiative to independently examine the federal and provincial governments’ COVID-19 policies.
Less than two weeks later, the NDP is following the NCI’s lead and also calling for a public inquiry into the federal government’s COVID-19 measures. Although the NDP voted lockstep with the federal Liberal Government to support its COVID-19 policies, they have suddenly drastically changed their tone since the NCI was launched.
“This is what citizen-led leadership to hold governments accountable looks like,” said Manning, the Chair of the non-profit organization “Citizens Inquiry Canada”, who is organizing the NCI. Since November 2, over 26,000 Canadians have already signed the NCI’s petition to express support for the citizen-led public inquiry. “Public opinion,” said Manning, “undoubtedly has had much to do with reversing the NDPs position, since recent polls have shown that 3 out of 4 Canadians report being harmed by government’s COVID-19 policies.”
During the NCI’s launch, Manning observed that the public is rightfully suspicious of governments investigating their own conduct and thus a government-led inquiry would invite significant mistrust and concerns of bias. A truly independent approach would completely separate government from organizing the Inquiry process, particularly the selection of commissioners. This is exactly the model being implemented by the NCI. It is anticipated that the inquiry will be launched in early 2023. Manning expects public hearings of two to three days each will be held in cities across the country, providing the opportunity for both virtual and in-person participation.
Ordinary citizens and experts in various disciplines—medical, legal, social, economic, and constitutional—will be invited to testify as to the impacts of the measures implemented by governments in the last two and a half years.
“The inquiry will examine the consequences on public and personal health, rights and freedoms, on specific demographic groups such as the aged and our children, and the economy. Those testifying before the Inquiry will also be asked for recommendations for how Canada’s response in matters such as this could be better managed in the future.”
A final Summary Hearing will be held in Ottawa, expected by the end of March 2023, with the Inquiry Commissioners issuing a report shortly thereafter containing their observations and recommendations.
Background information relevant to the National Citizens Inquiry is also available, in particular:
• Samples of the type of testimony which the NCI hopes to secure at its public hearings are available at www.citizenshearing.ca These testimonies were presented at test public hearings held June 22-24, 2022, in Toronto at which 60 Canadians from various backgrounds and circumstances shared their stories as
to how the COVID-19 response measures affected them.
• The results of a recent national public opinion survey are also available at nationalcitizesninquiry.ca in which a cross section of Canadians identify which
impacts of the COVID-19 response measures – health impacts, social impacts, rights and freedoms impacts, or economic impacts – affected themselves and
their families most severely, and which impacts they believed affected the largest numbers of Canadians (i.e., the country as a whole).

FDA requires new warning on mRNA COVID shots due to heart damage in young men

From LifeSiteNews
Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA COVID shots must now include warnings that they cause ‘extremely high risk’ of heart inflammation and irreversible damage in males up to age 24.
The Trump administration’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it will now require updated safety warnings on mRNA COVID-19 shots to include the “extremely high risk” of myocarditis/pericarditis and the likelihood of long-term, irreversible heart damage for teen boys and young men up to age 24.
The required safety updates apply to Comirnaty, the mRNA COVID shot manufactured by Pfizer Inc., and Spikevax, the mRNA COVID shot manufactured ModernaTX, Inc.
According to a press release, the FDA now requires each of those manufacturers to update the warning about the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis to include information about:
- the estimated unadjusted incidence of myocarditis and/or pericarditis following administration of the 2023-2024 Formula of mRNA COVID-19 shots and
- the results of a study that collected information on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) in people who developed myocarditis after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 injection.
The FDA has also required the manufacturers to describe the new safety information in the adverse reactions section of the prescribing information and in the information for recipients and caregivers.
Additionally, the fact sheets for healthcare providers and for recipients and caregivers for Moderna COVID-19 shot and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot, which are authorized for emergency use in individuals 6 months through 11 years of age, have also been updated to include the new safety information in alignment with the Comirnaty and Spikevax prescribing information and information for recipients and caregivers.
In a video published on social media, Dr. Vinay Prasad, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research Chief Medical and Scientific Officer, explained the alarming reasons for the warning updates.
While heart problems arose in approximately 8 out of 1 million persons ages 6 months to 64 years following reception of the cited shots, that number more than triples to 27 per million for males ages 12 to 24.
Prasad noted that multiple studies have arrived at similar findings.

Court compels RCMP and TD Bank to hand over records related to freezing of peaceful protestor’s bank accounts

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announces that a judge of the Ontario Court of Justice has ordered the RCMP and TD Bank to produce records relating to the freezing of Mr. Evan Blackman’s bank accounts during the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest.
Mr. Blackman was arrested in downtown Ottawa on February 18, 2022, during the federal government’s unprecedented use of the Emergencies Act. He was charged with mischief and obstruction, but he was acquitted of these charges at trial in October 2023.
However, the Crown appealed Mr. Blackman’s acquittal in 2024, and a new trial is scheduled to begin on August 14, 2025.
Mr. Blackman is seeking the records concerning the freezing of his bank accounts to support an application under the Charter at his upcoming retrial.
His lawyers plan to argue that the freezing of his bank accounts was a serious violation of his rights, and are asking the court to stay the case accordingly.
“The freezing of Mr. Blackman’s bank accounts was an extreme overreach on the part of the police and the federal government,” says constitutional lawyer Chris Fleury.
“These records will hopefully reveal exactly how and why Mr. Blackman’s accounts were frozen,” he says.
Mr. Blackman agreed, saying, “I’m delighted that we will finally get records that may reveal why my bank accounts were frozen.”
This ruling marks a significant step in what is believed to be the first criminal case in Canada involving a proposed Charter application based on the freezing of personal bank accounts under the Emergencies Act.
