“Are you aware the declaration of a health ‘emergency’ by your Premier activates ‘Emergency Powers’ legislation granting the Premier (and inner circle) near limitless power to issue and enforce ‘Mandates’ even if the Mandates have consequences to suspend basic rights and freedoms of citizens?”
So begins the C-19 Awareness Questionnaire published by a new organization called Taking Back Our Freedoms (TBOF). Its founder is Brian Peckford, the former premier of Newfoundland and Labrador who helped draft the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a document amended to Canada’s Constitution and somewhat analogous to the U.S. Bill of Rights. (Peckford is currently suing the federal government over vaccine mandates for air travel.) TBOF’s board of advisors includes medical experts and dignitaries such as former WHO COVID advisor Dr. Paul Alexander, former member of parliament and founder of the libertarian People’s Party of Canada Maxime Bernier, and former Alberta emergency management director Lieutenant Colonel David Redman.
They explain that the quiz is an “educational tool for concerned citizens,” with a goal of “ending all Covid Mandates” by “ending the so-called ‘emergency.’” It delivers keen insights into the present situation in Canada, especially regarding government pushback against the grassroots Freedom Convoy 2022 movement to restore medical freedom. The 68-question survey covers seven areas that paint a comprehensive picture of the Canadian government’s COVID tyranny, from “How Our Rights & Freedoms Have Been Taken,” to the unlawfulness of both vaccine mandates and prohibitions on proven COVID treatments.
The questionnaire is worth reviewing since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has this week invoked the Emergencies Act, a measure that the Canadian Civil Liberties Association says is only intended to protect Canada against extreme threats to national security, certainly not when already-established laws suffice. Ignoring this high bar, Trudeau has single-handedly granted himself power to violate the rights of Canadians at his whim. He could potentially jail the truckers, slap exorbitant fines on them, and destroy their livelihoods by stripping them of their rigs and insurance, as Rebel News founder Ezra Levant discussed with Fox News’ Bill Hannity on Tuesday.
Provincial premiers are distancing themselves from Trudeau as they loosen the COVID shackles they’ve placed on their own constituents. Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe tweeted his argument against Trudeau’s dictatorial act, noting that “police already have sufficient tools to enforce the law and clear the blockades.” The premiers of Manitoba, Alberta, and Quebec voiced similar opposition. But they are guilty of the same overreach, having imposed unconstitutional emergency powers on their provinces during most of the pandemic. Ontario premier Doug Ford assumed emergency authority on Saint Patrick’s Day, 2020, giving himself “unlimited power without accountability” that endures even today. Nearly two years later, his Saint Valentine’s Day gift to constituents was a promise to ease vaccine requirements by March 1, though he’ll still require everyone to wear masks.
The TBOF questionnaire points out that Canadian law specifies the emergency powers Ford and his dictatorial cronies have assumed are intended to be temporary. A “resolution of the Legislative Assembly” is required to keep them in force. In other words, Canadian premiers have used the pandemic as an excuse to bypass legal requirements and impose unlawful mandates and vaccine passports.
“Did you know these extreme measures were implemented even though authorities knew beforehand that the fully vaccinated are as infectious as the unvaccinated?” This question includes a link to an August 31, 2021 letter from Ontario’s chief medical officer, Kieran Moore, to all provincial health officers stating that “fully vaccinated individuals have similar levels of infectiousness as in unvaccinated cases.” Moore urged them to “address the potential risk of secondary transmission from breakthrough cases.”
All of the questions on the quiz are in a “yes, no” format but are rhetorical in nature and packed with information and hyperlinks, making the form a treasure trove of documentation. It is divided into seven sections:
- How our rights and freedoms have been taken
- Forcing people to take the C-19 vaccine is unscientific, unethical and unlawful
- The C-19 ‘vaccines’ are NOT working as hoped
- The C-19 vaccines are NOT safe
- Health authorities refuse to acknowledge science of natural immunity
- Ivermectin is a safe & effective treatment for C-19
- The vaccine passports are a threat to future freedoms
The questionnaire authors hope their document will help restore medical autonomy by helping people better understand what is happening so they can stand up for their rights against government overreach and abuse of power. “Freedom is not free,” they write. “Freedom calls upon every generation to be willing to sacrifice and fight for freedom.”
