It was a pleasure for me, a very retired Vascular Surgeon to be present in Baddeck and to learn so much from great people. It is also interesting that there were two other Vascular Surgeons present. Not statistically significant but likely the "largest" group of Doctors (percent of Canadian Vascular surgeons present). That may not be just a coincidence but due to the fact that Vascular surgeons are very aware of the upside and downside of our "Treatments". Canadian Doctors especially those involved in management of COVI 19 acted as if they had never heard of the concept; or was it because somehow our Government took away our right to Free Speech.

I would have loved to attend as well but as we are still settling in at our new home outside of "progressive" Toronto, it was too big of an ask. At this point I am looking for like minded souls as I have given up as well on speaking sense to anyone who has succumbed to the "safe and effective" narrative. I stopped by a former neighbour's house the other day while running errands in the city and while I quite like this lady, her opinions about the world at large are so drastically different from mine: the terrible right wing conservative leader Pollievere, isn't Hilary wonderful?, that dangerous insurrectionist Trump (personally I don't like him but would take him over Biden any day) it was hard to have any kind of a meaningful exchange. As I left she informed me she was going for her 5th shot and her flu shot... I am part of a small group of ladies I've met through protests and we are meeting at a restaurant on the Danforth that quietly allowed any and all in throughout the insanity this past year. t is so nice to be able to speak one's mind openly.

I am a knitter and am also looking to find a knitting group in my new community but fear that will not work out. I went into a local yarn shop last week and every single person in there, staff and patrons were masked up... very sad.

Trish I did have a question for you. Is Dr. Battacharya still recommending the shots for "vulnerable" people and if so did he explain why? It seems to me that there is absolutely no doubt that there is no benefit to them whatsoever and in all honesty I question the efficacy of all shots at this point and think they are likely the cause of rise in chronic illness (allergies, behaviour issues etc.) over the last 50/60 years. Thanks again for your work. It is so very much appreciated.

I don't recall his position on the shots. I know he has evolved over time.

Beautifully said 👍

So happy to know you had a wonderful time.

If you could, please interview Dr. Makis from Alberta. He is exposing the unnerving truth on the now 80 plus Canadian doctors who have died since the vaxx rollout.

Thankyou.

I am extremely disappointed that I had to miss this meeting. I had a work conflict that I couldn't do anything about. I hope they will consider doing another next year.

Trish, you are so courageous, it's infectious. When I discovered you, I said "Yes!" in my heart because your words were filled with compassion for those young and old - and the rest of us heretics who spoke the truth - who were ostracised from society. Thank you.

Great summary of the conference. Trish is there any way we can see or read your speech that you gave there?

I’m so glad people who have a background in medical fields have been constantly speaking up these past 2 years. However, I’ve given up on telling family and friends about the dangers of mandated vaccines that are harmful, and railing against the immoral unvaccinated mandates that treat non-Covid vaccinated people like criminals. It’s cooled most of my relationships and forever changed my view of so many people around me. I’ve been derided and mistreated at my Federal government job because of my Covid vaccine stand. How I survived Trudeau’s cancel culture so far is a small personal miracle. At this point I’m just standing back to see what happens to all these sad little lemmings as they approach what may be a cliffs edge. I can’t bring myself to have much compassion for them now in their smug Righteousness in being good covidians as the chickens come home to roost as vaccine damage begins to make itself increasingly known. God help us all.

Tremendous reporting, Trish! The ugliness of the past 3 years is best understood through an age old concept known as *Mass Formation*. It's a form of hypnosis to the collective's narrative. For anyone unfamiliar with this theory, you could do no worse than listen to the Belgian man, a Ghent University, clinical psychologist name of Mattias Desmet, also interviewed by Tucker Carlson. It can be found on Rumble and YT. Yes, "they" have won; however, as Hedges teaches, "they" have not completely consolidated their hold on our beings. The first order of business is to not comply. To strike. To occupy the streets and utter the Spanish phrase meaning no more: ya no más

Another Spanish word used by strikers is BASTA = enough!

LIABILITY for Vax makers would resolve the issue - but their useless and deadly injected 'medicines' would result in them becoming insolvent within a very short period! Mick (Unjabbed to live longer)

PS: This is why a platform like Substack is so important as opposed to corporate social media platforms that capture our voices for profit

It is kind of ironic that this Free Speech forum is taking place at the same as the Freedom Convoy began hearing from Convoy organizers and members, who are telling their stories as to why they came to Ottawa to championfreedom of speech and freedom from government mandates. There is hope and there are voices being heard from the people who gathered in Nova Scotia to those who gathered in Ottawa to tell the government enough is enough. All brave, all compassionate voices.

People like you and the guests you have had on your podcast, all the articles written and tweets sent to combat the insanity have saved lives . That is not a glib statement . Because of your podcast, and the guests you have connected us with we had hope where we couldn’t see an end to this . I am so grateful for all the stories and work you do.
