COVID-19
The Dystopian Future of Canada Part III: PCR and False Positives
Canada, like the whole world, has seemingly descended into chaos.
At the core of lockdowns across most our country and measures ranging from military implementation to Alberta’s light touch with growing positive test numbers (identified as cases) seemingly out of control is a potentially faulty test methodology.
Recently, a family member tested positive for Covid 19 and as a result, we had the opportunity to examine the test result from the Calgary lab. However, it was not until we read past the test result that questions started to surface.
As you can see, the specimen type is identified, nasal swab.
The method of testing is identified as NAT or PCR and ‘was performed using primers and probes targeting the E (envelope protein) gene of the SARS-CoV-2 virus DEVELOPED AT ProvLab.’ ProvLab is the Alberta Government testing lab with multiple sites for sample testing.
I was aware that the blue non-surgical masks people use across the world note on the box that they do not stop viruses or virus based infections, a fact which renders them largely useless for Covid prevention but I was not prepared for the disclaimer printed on the bottom of the test which reads:
“This method was validated at ProvLab. IT HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED OR APPROVED BY THE US FDA OR HEALTH CANADA AND RESULTS SHOULD BE INTERPRETED IN A CLINICAL CONTEXT.”
If this NAT/PCR test has NOT been approved by Health Canada OR the US FDA, then why is Alberta using it and how can we trust the results? According to the Health Canada website, “unauthorized tests may not produce accurate results, leading to potential misdiagnosis,” which could have dire consequences.
Checking into Health Canada, two facts can easily be found. Firstly, there are 102 Covid tests ‘under review’ at present, one of which may be this test executed by ProvLab of Calgary. The tests fall under three broad categories, Antigen, PCR and Serology with rapid and regular kits available to test for Covid 19, SARS and Influenza.

Two links below notate testing ‘progress’ in Canada:

Potential patients who test positive may not be testing FOR Covid, but rather one of the family of Corona Viruses. Your mother, father, brother, sister or child could have a regular cold and have the luxury of 2 weeks in lockdown. There have been circumstances of individuals receiving the influenza vaccine testing positive FOR covid shortly thereafter.
And, a second and third verification from British Columbia and the FDA is below:
With a little research by a government friend, I was able to find the following out about the test and results directly from the Health Ministers Office.
“Alberta does not use a commercial test kit for the lab-based reverse transcriptase (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay used for diagnostic testing for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Alberta’s COVID-19 test was developed and validated at Alberta Precision Laboratories (APL) and the test was further validated by the National Microbiology Lab.
All PCR testing involves amplification cycles. The PCR test used in Alberta has been confirmed to be highly specific for SARS-CoV-2. It does not react to other viruses and it cannot amplify a negative sample into a positive.
Alberta is currently evaluation a rapid antigen test, the Abbott PanBio test, for use in Alberta and this test is being used in a limited number of real-world settings. It is important to note that these rapid POC testing technologies are not as sensitive and are limited in their testing capacity when compared with the existing diagnostic test currently used in the province. Due to their limitations, rapid POC tests cannot replace all existing testing and public health measures, and instead will be used to augment current testing program. The Government of Alberta, in partnership with Alberta Health Services, is committed to monitoring evolving testing evidence and technology to improve our testing approach.”
The National Microbiology Lab is Canada’s Level Four lab which signifies that they are able to safely test and respond to the world’s most dangerous infectious diseases such as the Ebola virus, toxigenic e-coli and also highly pathogenic influenzas. They were briefly mentioned in a 2019 ouster/defection of Chinese scientists including Xiangguo Qiu who was escorted out of the Winnipeg lab in July for a possible “policy breach.” Qiuu was invited to go to the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences twice a year for two years, for up to two weeks each time from 2017 to 2019. It has been suggested that this may be the source of the Wuhan Virus (Covid 2019).
Globally, PCR testing is considered to be the ‘gold standard,’ with high accuracy dependant on the sampling methodology. Yet the CDC has noted that false negatives are more prevalent than false positives. We must also consider the publicized case of Elon Musk who tested 4 times, 2 negative and 2 positive and the 50 % false results. Other studies have posited that accuracy may be as low as 10% or as high as 90%, with 20% being more common with 34 cycles for the test.
According to a British Columbia Centre for Disease Control report AND a FDA report, their evidence does not support the ‘gold standard,’ but rather that “The CT scan is not a gold standard for diagnosis of Covid 19 and scan cannot differentiate amongst the many microbiological causes of pneumonia.” (https://www.fda.gov/media/134922/download)
However, there is one salient point that detection of Covid 19 is dependant upon a purified sample from a patient that is not mixed with monkey or bovine material. To date, no pure samples are available and upon questioning of 34 jurisdictions (Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Scotland, the United Kingdom, United States (CDC) and others as shared on:
Health Canada has no record of “COVID-19 virus” isolation – Fluoride Free Peel
So, the question can be asked again, if the CDC does not have a pure sample and Health Canada does not have a pure sample, how can tests and vaccinations be produced? It has been noted widely that it took decades for Polio, the Influenza and other vaccines to be produced, yet we have hundreds of potential miracle cures for Covid 19 in less than a year? You have to wonder what kind of research and testing has been done? Is it possible that this really is a manmade virus (that is patented by the CDC) therefore a vaccine can be produced as the model IS known?
One potential answer given for the rapid development of vaccines is the similarity of Covid 19 to SARS and MERS. Promising research has indicated the presence of an E gene (Protein) that accompanies the virus which seems to accelerate its spread or to act as a retardant and which may be the key to halting its reach.
However, as noted, how long does good testing and development take that does not endanger human lives with potentially fatal unintended consequences?
There is another big story that has not been reported in Western media. In early November, the Portuguese courts have ruled that the PCR process is not a reliable test for Sars-Cov-2, and therefore any enforced quarantine based on those test results is unlawful and a violation of constitutional rights.
In addition, during their decision they cited a European study that showed that if more than 35 cycles are used in the test that the probability of actually detecting ‘real’ Covid 19 is 3 % and a 97 % probability for a false positive detection.
Portuguese Court Rules PCR Tests “Unreliable” & Quarantines “Unlawful”
The big question is, if we believe that a vaccine can help the world in the fight against Covid 19 in so quick a time and that desperate measures are justified in this fight against this unseen (and potentially imaginary) enemy then we are ripe for the Great Reset which has come into public knowledge this year under the guise of medical emergence, a fact which Justin Trudeau himself has made reference to at the UN in September!
If we hearken back to basic science and believe that vaccines cannot stop virus infections but rather good nutrition and healthy immune systems lead to efficient patient recoveries, then the citizens of the world will be able to counter the biological war that is in our borders.
To end off the thread on which this discussion started, on November 27, 2020 my family received a letter from my mothers’ retirement home (Revera) that calm states the following:
November 27, 2020
Dear Resident/Family Member at Aspen Ridge
I am writing to you to confirm that we have had no other residents at Aspen Ridge test
positive for COVID-19. With that being said, we have taken many residents off isolation today
due to a clerical error from AHS that resulted in a false positive reporting.
With that teaser, look for part II of Positive Corona Virus Diagnosis Errors…

Red Deer Doctor critical of Alberta’s COVID response to submit report to Danielle Smith this May
From LifeSiteNews
Leading the task force is Dr. Gary Davidson, who was skeptical of mandates at the time.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will soon be receiving a little-known report she commissioned which tasked an Alberta doctor who was critical of the previous administration’s handling of COVID to look into how accurate the province’s COVID data collection was, as well as the previous administration’s decision-making process and effectiveness.
As noted in a recent Globe and Mail report, records it obtained show that just less than one month after becoming Premier of Alberta in November of 2022, Smith tasked then-health minister Jason Copping to create the COVID data task force.
Documents show that the Alberta government under Smith gave the new task force, led by Dr. Gary Davidson – who used to work as an emergency doctor in Red Deer, Alberta – a sweeping mandate to look at whether the “right data” was obtained during COVID as well as to assess the “integrity, validity, reliability and quality of the data/information used to inform pandemic decisions” by members of Alberta Health Services (AHS).
As reported by LifeSiteNews in 2021, Davidson said during the height of COVID that the hospital capacity crisis in his province was “created,” was not a new phenomenon, and had nothing to do with COVID.
“We have a crisis, and we have a crisis because we have no staff, because our staff quit, because they’re burned out, they’re not burnt out from COVID,” Davidson said at the time.
Davidson also claimed that the previous United Conservative Party government under former Premier Jason Kenney had been manipulating COVID statistics.
In comments sent to the media, Smith said that in her view it was a good idea to have a “contrarian perspective” with Davidson looking at “everything that happened with some fresh eyes.”
“I needed somebody who was going to look at everything that happened with some fresh eyes and maybe with a little bit of a contrarian perspective because we’ve only ever been given one perspective,” she told reporters Tuesday.
“I left it to [Davidson] to assemble the panel with the guidance that I would like to have a broad range of perspectives.”
Smith took over from Kenney as leader of the UCP on October 11, 2022, after winning the leadership of the party. The UCP then won a general election in May 2023. Kenney was ousted due to low approval ratings and for reneging on promises not to lock Alberta down during COVID.
After assuming her role as premier, Smith promptly fired the province’s top doctor, Deena Hinshaw, and the entire AHS board of directors, all of whom oversaw the implementation of COVID mandates.
Under Kenney, thousands of nurses, doctors, and other healthcare and government workers lost their jobs for choosing to not get the jabs, leading Smith to say – only minutes after being sworn in – that over the past year the “unvaccinated” were the “most discriminated against” group of people in her lifetime.
As for AHS, it still is promoting the COVID shots, for babies as young as six months old, as recently reported by LifeSiteNews.
Task force made up of doctors both for and against COVID mandates
In addition to COVID skeptic Dr. Gary Davidson, the rather secretive COVID task force includes other health professionals who were critical of COVID mandates and health restrictions, including vaccine mandates.
The task force was given about $2 million to conduct its review, according to The Globe and Mail, and is completely separate from another task force headed by former Canadian MP Preston Manning, who led the Reform Party for years before it merged with another party to form the modern-day Conservative Party of Canada.
Manning’s task force, known as the Public Health Emergencies Governance Review Panel (PHEGRP), released its findings last year. It recommend that many pro-freedom policies be implemented, such as strengthening personal medical freedoms via legislation so that one does not lose their job for refusing a vaccine, as well as concluding that Albertans’ rights were indeed infringed upon.
The Smith government task force is run through the Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA) which is a provincial agency involved in healthcare research.
Last March, Davidson was given a project description and terms of reference and was told to have a final report delivered to Alberta’s Health Minister by December of 2023.
As of now, the task force’s final report won’t be available until May, as per Andrea Smith, press secretary to Health Minister Adriana LaGrange, who noted that the goal of the task force is to look at Alberta’s COVID response compared to other provinces.
According to the Globe and Mail report, another person working on the task force is anesthetist Blaine Achen, who was part of a group of doctors that legally challenged AHS’s now-rescinded mandatory COVID jab policy for workers.
Some doctors on the task force, whom the Globe and Mail noted held “more conventional views regarding the pandemic,” left it only after a few meetings.
In a seeming attempt to prevent another draconian crackdown on civil liberties, the UCP government under Smith has already taken concrete action.
The Smith government late last year passed a new law, Bill 6, or the Public Health Amendment Act, that holds politicians accountable in times of a health crisis by putting sole decision-making on them for health matters instead of unelected medical officers.

Inquiry shows Canadian gov’t agencies have spent $10 million on social media ads for COVID jabs
From LifeSiteNews
One campaign cost $1.5 million alone to encourage children to receive the COVID-19 shots.
A recent Inquiry of Ministry request revealed that Canada’s Public Health Agency (PHAC) along with Health Canada have combined to spend approximately $9.9 million on social media advertising to promote the experimental COVID injections since 2020.
The Inquiry of Ministry information showing the large advertising spending on the COVID shots became known as the result of a request from Conservative Party of Canada MP Ted Falk, who demanded answers about what was being spent by officials to promote the shots.
The information published on April 8 shows that PHAC and Health Canada spent approximately $4.6 million on production costs of ads, with $5.3 million on actual advertising of the COVID shots on social media platforms Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and Pinterest from 2020 to 2024.
One mass COVID vaccination advertising campaign titled the “Ripple Effect” cost about $1.8 million alone. PHAC claimed the campaign served to “remind Canadians about the collective vaccination effort required to see a reduction in restrictions and public health measures.”
Other campaigns ranged in spending from $75,000 to $564,000 to promote the shots to young adults.
PHAC also spent $1.5 million on a campaign to promote the COVID shots to parents with kids to try and encourage them to get their kids injected.
It should be noted that PHAC, as per a 2021-22 Departmental Results Report, had tried “diligently to counter false statements and misinformation” to prop up the COVID shots. In 2023, PHAC was looking to hire social media influencers to promote the jab to Canadians who were opposed to taking the shots.
Health Canada previously was found to have spent some $132,000 on social media influencers to promote the COVID shots.
As reported by LifeSiteNews recently, the Trudeau government is still under contract to purchase multiple shipments of COVID shots while at the same time throwing away $1.5 billion worth of expired shots.
The continued purchase of COVID jabs comes despite the fact the government’s own data shows that most Canadians are flat-out refusing a COVID booster injection. It also comes as the government has had to increase spending on Canada’s Vaccine Injury Program (VISP), as reported by LifeSiteNews last week.
Canadians’ decision to refuse the shots also comes as a Statistic Canada report revealed that deaths from COVID-19 and “unspecified causes” rose after the release of the so-called “safe and effective” jabs.
LifeSiteNews has published an extensive amount of research on the dangers of receiving the experimental COVID mRNA jabs, which include heart damage and blood clots.
