One of the roles of an independent media is to hold the Government to account, for the things they say and do. However, that becomes harder — if not impossible — then media outlets are subsidized by those same Governments. One cannot be too critical, without wondering if those handouts will stop. As such, this causes a significant conflict of interest.
1. The Media Is Not Loyal To The Public
Truth is essential in society, but the situation in Canada is worse than people imagine. In Canada (and elsewhere), the mainstream media, periodicals, and fact-checkers are subsidized, though they deny it. Post Media controls most outlets in Canada, and many “independents” have ties to Koch/Atlas. Real investigative journalism is needed, and some pointers are provided.
2. Why People Should Care About This
If the alternate info you mention involves Bill Gates/vaccines, 5G networks, New World Order or anything like that, then, no, we are not interested.
if your alternate information comes from reputable sources, such as Health Canada, the BC Centre for Disease Control or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, then perhaps we would look at something.
Some worthwhile questions to be sure — and some have been asked and answered by various media, if my recollection is correct (I’d have to check).
I am on deadline right , but will address this once I have some time.
In several emails sent to various people at Aberdeen Publishing, this was the only person to give any kind of reply. One would have to wonder why serious “journalists” have little interest in information that contradicts the official narrative.
Considering this group just parrots the talking points of Bonnie Henry, a cynic might wonder what strings were attached to the money they received.
- Columbia Valley Pioneer
- Jasper Fitzhugh
- Kamloops This Week
- The Local Weekly
- Merritt Herald
- Peachland View
- Oliver Chronicle
- Osoyoos Times
Not one of these groups is willing to ask the hard questions about what is really going on with this “pandemic”. From the emails above, they are clearly “aware” of many of the topics. Yet, there appears to be no interest in digging into them.
3. Questions They Won’t Address
It would be worthwhile to ask why there is such a push for a vaccine when (by Health Canada’s own numbers), some 90% of people have already recovered.
https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19.html
It would be worthwhile to look into just how rampant lobbying is in Canada

It would be worthwhile to ask why Toronto Public Health conflates people who die “with” this virus and people who die “from” it. These are 2 separate things.
https://twitter.com/TOPublicHealth/status/1275888390060285967
It would be worthwhile to ask why the push for masks everywhere when the World Health Organization admits there’s no evidence they work (see April 6 and June 5 guidance)
https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/331693
https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/when-and-how-to-use-masks
It would be worthwhile to ask why the BBC (is that mainstream) reported that mask recommendations were political
https://youtu.be/Bw51IudGNb8?t=259
It would be worthwhile to ask why BC Transit implemented a mask policy based on “rider feedback” and having “a comfortable ride”
https://www.bctransit.com/media/releases-and-advisories?nid=1529710083644
It would be worthwhile to ask why Ontario Deputy Medical Head Barbara Yaffe admits there is a 50% error rate in the PCR tests (see 36:20 in video)
https://youtu.be/ed5cZFOrcZQ?t=2172
It would be worthwhile to ask why BC Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry limited gatherings to 50 people, despite repeatedly saying that “there’s no science behind it”. See 1:00 in the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzyoWyqBM8k&feature=youtu.be&t=57
It would be worthwhile to ask why the BC CDC recommends things like: abortion, “glory holes”, alternative sex, porn, masturbation, and general degeneracy at a time when marriages and religious gatherings are restricted
http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/covid-19/prevention-risks/covid-19-and-sex
https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/tw1040
It would be worthwhile to ask why the World Health Organization would say asymptomatic transmission is “very rare” on June 8, and then on June 9 suggest that 6% to 41% of the global population is infected
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQTBlbx1Xjs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im0G7jb78jc
It would be worthwhile to ask why Theresa Tam also works for the World Health Organization, or why Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney are Trustees at the World Economic Forum. Certainly major conflicts of interest are worth looking into
https://www.who.int/about/who_reform/emergency-capacities/oversight-committee/theresa-tam/en/
https://www.weforum.org/about/leadership-and-governance
It would be worthwhile to ask why the World Economic Forum sees this “pandemic” as a great opportunity to exact larger social changes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfVdMWzKwjc&feature=emb_logo
It might be worthwhile to ask why Theresa Tam starred in a film about a fake outbreak
https://torontosun.com/news/national/warmington-tam-talked-of-tracking-bracelets-in-2010-epidemic-film
All serious questions, all from “official” sources. However, there doesn’t seem to have been any follow-up or pursuit trying to get answers.

It seems strange, that this company could get more in grants from this year than it could from several years COMBINED.
Guess what? When media outlets get Government grants from the Canadian Periodical Fund, it’s not secret. Anyone can dig up that information and publish it.
While some of the grants over the last year are not explicitly “covid relief”, some are. And again, one has to wonder what kind of “understanding” there was, in order to get paid.
5. Aberdeen Grants, Some Screeenshots

As shown in the previous article with Postmedia, it’s staggering just how many “independent” media companies are on the receiving end of Government handouts. It could explain why they are so willing to gaslight critics of Government policies as conspiracy nuts.
As I am frequently VERY impressed with the information offered by the Canuck Law postings, I want to share the information with fellow Canadians, Important information deserves to be spread to others. HOW might be the best way to do that??? This post as an excellent example needs to spread out to people.
Hello.
Thank you, and glad you like the content.
I don’t have a magic solution to this, but any additional exposure would help, however it comes about.
