Trudeau’s Weekly Crisis, Western Gov'ts Essentially Bankrupt, the BC & New Brunswick Elections, Why 1 in 4 Working Age Adults Will Need “Significant Hospitalization” by 2040 & David Icke.
Justin Trudeau’s Weekly Crisis
The week began with the House of Commons resuming its current session after a formal one week break.
Informally, House business has been suspended since September 26th, when speaker Greg Fergus ruled that the Justin Trudeau Liberal government “clearly did not fully comply” with a House order to provide documents related to Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), formally an “an arm's-length foundation created by the Government of Canada to fund new clean technologies,” for doling out $400Mln CDN of green technology funding to ineligible applicants and friends of the Liberal party.
As outlined in our October 15th, 2024 Last Week Today post, “House of Commons Remains “Paralyzed” over SDTC Fraud,” Freedom Forum editors expected the Trudeau government to hype up a different manufactured crisis to distract attention from SDTC malfeasance and suggested that the Canadian crisis with India. which culminated in charges that the Indian diplomats used their official positions “to engage in clandestine activities” and were expelled, would be a good place to start.
We were right. The Indian crisis grew and began overlapping with other stories on Canadian “intelligence leaks” which discussed Liberal party talking points like the Indian and Russian interference, while ignoring opposition party talking points like the very similar stories of Chinese interference in Canadian domestic policies.
The crisis reached a head with the October 22nd, 2024 Globe and Mail post, “Federal officials provided intelligence about India to Washington Post, sources say,” which noted that:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national security adviser and the deputy minister of foreign affairs provided sensitive intelligence about India to The Washington Post days before the RCMP publicly alleged that Indian government agents have been linked to homicides, extortions and other violent criminal activities in Canada, two sources say.
The leak to the U.S. publication about the killing of a Winnipeg Sikh leader and the role of India’s Home Secretary in violent acts in Canada stands in contrast to Mr. Trudeau’s view of leaks of classified information on China’s interference activities. Last week, he told the public inquiry into foreign interference that “a criminal leaked classified information” about China’s meddling in 2023 to The Globe and Mail.
In essence, when a whistleblower leaks sensitive China interference intelligence to Canadians, they’re “criminal,” but when Trudeau’s staff leaks sensitive data on India interference to a US newspaper, they’re the good guys.
As noted in the October 22nd, 2024 National Post story, “William Watson: Is Ottawa trying to game Canadians?,” even the legacy media is starting to realize that the current political landscape is mostly Kabuki theater.
With parliament shut down and government run by whims, edict and the permanent bureaucracy, its kind of like the first Star Wars movie hiding the real crisis of a government at war with itself, riddled with conflicts of interest and running out of money to paper over the problems.

Western Governments are Essentially Bankrupt
Perhaps the real reason why our governments around the world, don’t seem to be successful at anything lately is outlined in the latest World Economic Outlook report published on Tuesday morning.
As reviewed in the October 22nd, 2024 Zero Hedge post, “"The Risks Are Building To The Downside": IMF Cuts Global Growth Forecast After Warning Global Debt To Hit $100 Trillion,” suggests that global growth is slowing because of the increasing international debt load western nations are carrying.
While those who compiled the WEO report don’t see anything sinister in the situation others, including Solarii Report owner Catherine Austin Fitts, disagree.
They accuse government bondholders, government employees and politicians of siphoning off huge amounts of money from government accounts into their private possession.
A Canadian example of this kind of financial malfeasance is Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), the Liberal government’s latest crisis, which seems to have hoovered up to $400 Mln CDN tax dollars from Canada’s Federal government and placed it into the pockets of the governing Liberal party’s friends and associates.
The May 20th, 2023 Solarii post on the “Financial Coup d’Etat: Missing Money for Beginners with Dr. Mark Skidmore,“ notes that $21 Trillion Dollars is simply missing from US government accounts, likely through embezzlement and fraud while another $59 Trillian Dollars has gone missing from international government accounts over the last two decades.
It’s quite likely that some of that money is from Canadian government accounts, especially when you look at government procurement scandals beginning with SNC Lavalin in 2019, the WE Charity Scandal and the 2023 ArriveCAN scandal before moving on to the more recent SDTC scandal.
Here’s an interesting overview of what’s happening in government and how it’s being enabled by legacy media outlets, courtesy of the Fraser Institute, an independent non-partisan, but conservative leaning think tank with offices in Calgary, Montreal and Toronto and BlendrNews.
The BC Election
It’s been three days since the close BC Election and no one is really sure who actually won.
Here’s the October 21st, 2024 CBC News British Columbia on YouTube post, “No clear winner yet in B.C. election” with more.
Allegations of Fraud are surfacing, at least according to the October 20th, 2024 Canpoli on Bitchute post, “Rigged Elections British Columbia Edition” running rampant online, especially on “X.”
Legacy news reports mostly followed along in the style of the October 20th, 2024 Business Intelligence for BC post, “Here's the latest on British Columbia's wet and wild election, ”which noted “torrential rain and high winds across much of the province.”
Some independent commentators are saying the new BC provincial government will eventually settle into an NDP government supported by the Green party but know one really knows for sure just yet.
BC Conservative leader John Rustad has vowed to bring down any NDP/Green coalition at the first opportunity and call a new election.
The New Brunswick Election
Meanwhile in New Brunswick, their provincial election seemed far better organized and, while the results weren’t known the night the polls closed, things cleared up the next day.
Susan Holt’s Liberal Party won a majority while the Conservatives under Premier Blaine Higgs lost the election, seemingly decisively in a rout which included the loss of Higg’s seat in Quispamsis.
As outlined in the October 21st, 2024 Global News post, “N.B. votes 2024: Higgs loses own riding as PCs take devastating election blow,” since forming the provincial government in 2018, 14 PC caucus members have stepped down after clashing with Higgs, some of them citing “what they described as an authoritarian leadership style and a focus on conservative policies that represented a hard shift to the right.”
Freedom Forum covered Premier Higgs a year ago when he took a stand favoring parental rights to prevent children from being unfairly targeted by LGBTQ activists in schools under the infamous school “Policy 713,” which Higg’s modified to reflect parental concerns over school boards acting without parental permission with children under 16.
Higgs survived a caucus revolt over Policy 713 and it seemed as if other provincial premiers were lining up behind him. The conservative loss is considered a blow to parental rights groups throughout the country.
Why 1 in 4 Working Age Ontario Adults Will Need “Significant Hospitalization” by 2040
The October 16th, 2024 CBC News post, “Ontario hospitals can't handle projected 72% increase in chronic illness: study,” notes that a recent study from the University of Toronto's Dalla Lana School of Public Health, published in collaboration with the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) is predicting that:
… 3.1 million working age adults will be living with major illness in Ontario in 2040, up from 1.8 million in 2020, a 72.2 per cent increase. That translates to approximately one in four adults over the age of 30 living with a major illness and requiring significant hospital care — up from roughly one in eight adults in 2002.
The paper is mostly looking to build a case for increased funding for the Ontario hospitals and healthcare.
But the straight faced prediction that 25% of the adult working age population, double today’s totals, will be dealing with “major illnesses” and require “significant healthcare,” without explaining where those massive increases in illnesses are going to come is indicative of significant blind-spots in the current centralized healthcare environment.
Perhaps healthcare professionals need to look at preventative medicine, the role of highly processed food lacking essential vitamins and minerals in current healthcare, restrictive treatment and vaccination protocols for both children and adults before drilling down on requests for new funding.
The story also blows off the increases in illness as being attributable to an “aging” and growing population even as they note that the study tracks estimated future illness rates in the “working age” population from 18 - 65 years old.
Besides, no one says anything about vaxx side-effects, the massive increased in death rates since 2020 or the growth of people “dying suddenly.”
It’s all about the money. No wonder there’s a crisis in healthcare.
David Icke
