I just subscribed. I’m so thrilled. Please don’t give up on this important cause. Have you heard the audio on free press? There’s additional audio and it’s devastating. We must not give up on this lunacy. Megyn Kelly conducted a great interview. This vile individual has a LinkedIn page. Thank you for all you do Trish, you’re a treasure.

It was the cowards who killed him. I wonder what it's like to be one of them.

Only when people speak up will this end. We must get into the habit of stepping in from of these incoming missiles. It is what will save us.

I've read through all the comments and replies but I'm surprised to see that no one has mentioned the possibility that, to the facilitators of the DEI training courses, the death of Mr Bilkszto may be considered a resounding success. If the goal of DEI training is to eliminate all opposition to anti-racist ideology, then isn't the elimination of a "resistor" an indication that the program has accomplished its goal? This is especially the case now that we know Mr Bilkszto was not just individually picked on for his questions about the facilitator's assumptions about racism in Canada, but then singled out AGAIN during the second meeting for excoriation in front of all his peers.

I'm willing to bet that the company responsible for this travesty will not only remain silent about this unfortunate death, but will privately be giving Ms Kike Ojo-Thompson a nice bonus and maybe a trip somewhere nice for doing her job so well. Imagine the skill it takes to single out a single individual for shame, disgrace and humiliation without ANY of that person's own colleagues having the courage to put a stop to the abuse. THAT is a successful program, in my opinion. Not only did they manage to kill the only person willing to put up any kind of resistance, but the remaining 200 people (can you effing believe that? 200 people!?!) are all cowering in their homes, silent and relieved that it wasn't them.

The part they don't acknowledge is that this kind of abuse of power, resulting in shame, humiliation and death is the fate that awaits ALL who refuse to stand up to it. God help the Toronto School District.

ps: Rupa Supramanya did a good piece for the Free Press about Mr Bilkszto that's worth reading as well as Trish's great interview.

Love you Trish

Your work is so important. I’m trying to rescue my mom from the social constructionist. I escaped the cult myself just before covid hit. Such good timing ( though sooner would’ve been better) lol. I feel like I was a frog boiling in an ideological pot. The CBC radio slowly radicalizing me. Off grid living with no other sources of information.

I wish my mom could take the journey that you have Trish. She’s been threw so much. I feel so bad for those old hippies. They’ve forgotten everything they taught me. Hard to watch.

Thanks for everything you do. You are a light in the darkness. You help me keep my flame honest and true.

Forever grateful,

James

I can honestly say these divisions are created by media. And lack of critical thinking. I am also an old hippy as you probably know -- and don't feel my values have changed one bit. War is shit, poverty is bad, working people deserve our respect and corporations are frequently psychotic. Each and every one of those has been blown up by the left. I miss the old CBC radio where I was allowed to say those things and get paid for it. Working people weren't considered "white supremacists" - corporations weren't hiring fetishists who hate women to sell their products, government was expected to protect people from bad pharma products, and media was supposed to keep a watchful eye on all of it. I know your mum would agree with all of that. But sometimes it is had to see past the fog of legacy media propaganda.

My own grown son -- is super woke and thinks I'm mean because I don't want autogynephiliacs in my change room -- even though he knows I marched for gay rights. He is starting to get it but it has taken him a while.

Thank you for such a thoughtful response Trish. I’m sorry that it’s tuff with your son too. For me, that hurts the most, the loss of relationships and family hardships.

If we stay true, Honest and full of love, We might win yet.

Your a real one:) so grateful to have u as a champion. Never give up!

Thanks Trish for bringing this story forward as I can not imagine you get much sleep holding all of this inside as well.

I could not sleep last night as my thoughts could not get around the outright cruelty behind the progressive left and their divisive ideology. The group think that can not reason with facts, reality, and brings forth this vindictive demonization of any who dare to disagree with them. The silence of those who sat beside him while this tyrant attacked him, bothered me even more. This man died due to EDI bullying and the weakness of those who stood by and watched. Evil is done, not just by the tyrants, but by it by those who stand by and do nothing. To me they are just as guilty as the person that committed the bullying.

Then there was the young man who died because he was denied a kidney transplant due to being unvaccinated. Regardless members of his family offered him their kidney, the surgeons refused him this life saving operation. Their total lack of compassion and ethics is what floors me. They too are invested in this ideological group think so they can not see their own inhumanity. It’s beyond any form of redemption as they swear an oath to uphold life and to do no harm. Then to ask his wife if she would donate his organs for other patients. It’s dystopian, cruel, and to be honest, down right evil. Those surgeons and all involved have no business being in the medical field. They belong in prison. I had lost trust in the medical experts during Covid but now I have lost trust in the entire medical complex. It is hard to stomach what is happening in this country and the callousness that is behind it.

This is what the Covidian times have revealed. By increments we are becoming a more cruel and vindictive culture -- and worse -- we wrap the cruelty in virtue. There was even ademo in toronto by a black-supporting organization worried the Richard's death might hurt their cause. Totally tone-deaf. Not a word of compassion. I think all we can do is stick together - mitigate when we can and wait for this epoch to pass.

It is both fitting and telling that the DEI commissar called Richard Bilkszto "resister." By not surrendering fully to the struggle session he marked himself as counter to the woke revolution.

I'm not surprised none from that crowd has lamented his suicide. The mindset is the same as those who committed atrocities all over the world during the 20th century, that it is okay to dash an infant's head against a rock if it means achieving the revolution.

The ideology drives them to power no matter who or what they destroy on the way there, because the end (woke equitable utopia) justifies any means necessary (despicable, horrific acts of evil included).

The practice of hiring outside but like-minded experts to review is bullshit. Coroner's inquest is needed.

Both of these cases are just so heartbreaking. I can't imagine the pain Richard must have been in. As his friend explained, his career and helping kids was everything to him. To have his work and reputation slandered so mercilessly mush have been unbearable. His colleagues staying silent would have been akin to shunning.

I also wanted to share this video from the FAIR group, https://youtu.be/FR9KFImvVWg. Dr Tabia Lee was part of a DEI department, but she was forced out for 'not being focused on de-centering whiteness'. And she, herself, is a racialized black women. With more people speaking out, DEI jobs being cut, and the heartbreak of Richard's case, I'm hopeful we are starting to see the end of this.

Now, for Garnet, the injustice suffered by him and his family is beyond comprehension. Garnet and Meghan have all my respect for their fight against these unethical mandates. He died trying to make a better future for his children.

And, I'm not surprised at all that the blood pressure medication brought on his kidney failure. Dr Aseem Malhotra (his interview on Joe Rogan is a must watch, https://open.spotify.com/episode/43D9PMFx0j9BdbpcS9meBY?si=Pp8k0c80RYeM324ftH0XNQ) has been fighting back against the overuse of statins within his field. Our medical care system (Canada, US, UK, Australia...) has been completely corrupted by big pharma.

Oh, and GB News is phenomenal. It's one of my favorite news channels. Along with Neil Oliver.

Garnet’s wife was so eloquent. Garnet experienced double or maybe triple iatrogenic injury. Also quite telling that it was the naturopathic doctor who was able to diagnose the kidney failure. Great interview Trish. 🙏🏼

Really good interviews... my heart goes out to the loved ones of both these men.

With regard to Garnet, the whole idea of requiring vaccination in immunocompromised people is absurd. The idea of vaccination is that the vaccine INDUCES an immune response (whether or not that's appropriate is another question). In those whose immune systems are suppressed guess what? THEY WON'T MOUNT AN EFFECTIVE RESPONSE TO A VAXX BECAUSE THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEMS ARE SUPPRESSED. Sorry for yelling but I get livid when DOCTORS who should know better only demonstrate their ignorance. This reduced response also goes for the elderly. The reason they succumb so often to infections as they age is because their immune systems are SENESCENT! That means they will also NOT mount an effective response to any vaxx, flu covid or other. UGH!!

So Garnet was in a no win situation.

As an additional comment, blood pressure meds are terrible for kidneys and the subsequent issue with kidneys is terrible for the heart and bp. Saw this with my mother who was on BP meds for years as well as diruetics. She died last year likely due to kidney and heart failure and while she was very old, I can't help but wonder if her last years would have been healthier if the doc had prescribed exercise, magnesium, vitamin C etc. instead of toxic meds that always need to be increased as they damage the organs they are supposed to protect.

It is very hard to be the lone person who does not submit to coercion. Especially when dealing with fearful docs who daren't buck the system.

Both of these cases are truly heartbreaking. And as you said Trish they are both caused by ideologies that are cult like. The woke DEI is like a cancer that can't be cured. It spreads and kills everything in its path. Even those who 'keep their heads down' get infected. And ulimately if we can't find a cure or a way to fight it, it will ultimately kill its host-that being our society as a hole. The COVIDian vaccine fixation, I believe will eventually wear itself out, but in the meantime, more lives will be lost.

I copied the link again, let's see if this works. You could also look up Graham Hood on Facebook. A post from 1 day ago about 13 year old Dazelle Peters who is being refused a lung transplant because she refuses to take the vaccine. Drs are also denying any knowledge of a new approved medication that could make a huge difference to her health. https://fb.watch/m8olLhtbvD/?mibextid=MVYFXj

Thank you for doing these important interviews Trish. Both are very tragic stories. We have truly lost our way in Western society. Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, while other people are not held responsible for what they themselves are doing today.

I was born and raised in Canada. Three of my four grandparents were great-grandchildren of enslaved African Americans. Despite experiencing racial discrimination and harassment during their lifetime, not once did I hear my grandparents speak about the concept of white supremacy or black inferiority. They did not ignore the damaging impact of their experiences but they certainly did not dwell on them. They worked hard, they made significant contributions to their communities, and they left a legacy of a life well-lived.

I strongly disagree with DEI initiatives, and in my experience DEI training in the workplace does far more harm than good. I also don’t agree with the supposed purpose of the BLM movement. I believe that building relationships of mutual respect and accountability with other humans is at the heart of any efforts at justice, advocacy, or reform.

Regarding Anti-Racism education in Canadian schools, in BC we have an initiative called “The K-12 Anti-Racism Action Plan”. As far as I know, most school districts across the country have implemented similar initiatives for staff and students.

With respect to Garnet Harper’s story, I honestly cannot wrap my head around the reality that we live in a country where citizens are seemingly punished for their social choices. Denying care to the unvaccinated is completely contrary to the longstanding tenets of medical ethics to treat all patients justly. Absolutely abhorrent and unacceptable!

The harms of the cultural shift of the last few years, both with the CVD madness and the woke mob agenda, keep pilling up. Those two men died needlessly, by the cruel hand of those ideological extremes.
