Such a great conversation and thank you Tara for bringing Kevin in to discuss the focus groups and research into the "entirety" of lockdown affects and abuses imposed by pandemic response in society. Lots to unpack there, and I am eager to see a non goverment/media/health funded report across many countries. There will undoubtedly be generational effects, not merely a decade as most will not trust these groups to lead us into any -demic or war in the future. During the pandemic what was observed from our government, education, corporations, media, medical/public health, policing, and Judicial system amounts to dishonesty and lack of competence/ignorance. The repeated and parrotted use of catch phrases like "safe and effective" and "save grandma" used with a heavy handed "socialist/communist" approach to laws, policing and execution was jarring. Its like reading a playbook from Stalin in propaganda. I'm still disgusted. We still have a major financial crisis to climb out of here in Canada(and around the world). The WHO and United Nations have a major continued push to have global laws entrenched with treaties overriding all countries and citizens human rights to bodily autonomy for future pandemics. Our systems are colapsing, and very few have trust in the laws being passed(or rammed through) in current legislation. Its merely more censorship and vilianization of certain views in society,. But you can't stop people from thinking yet can you.
l'm looking forward to listening to this! Here's a couple fun facts: 2900 Canadians-under-60 died of Covid from Jan 2020-May 2023. During the same time period, 4900 under-60s died in car accidents and around 20,000 died of drug overdoses. (source StatsCan and Transport Canada)
Tara thank you for bringing this organization to light. Best interview I have heard about the subject and not one we would get from the MSM. A flicker of hope for the future that the mistakes made from the Covid response will be brought to light and we stand a chance they will not be repeated. We need to support the work of this group.
I've been reading articles from Kevin Bardosh and appreciating his perspective. Thanks for having him on. Especially good to have someone who can comment from a Canadian perspective with an organization working here.
Excellent! Hopefully, the results of the UK Inquiry will foster a similar Canadian search for accountability. So sad that The Barrington Declaration was not taken seriously. We must be better prepared for the inevitable next pandemic.
A final thought. Millions of people around the world would get a lift in their day if they could hear this interview. We are grateful to Tara for her good work.
Profoundly disappointing interview, but not surprising, given the lack of anything hard-hitting about covid from this journalist. At this point, anyone publishing on Substack should know that there is no question that the Canadian ‘Pandemic Response’ did more harm than good, and it’s already been heavily documented. Disappointed but not surprised to hear nothing about the National Citizen’s Inquiry. Disappointed but not surprised to hear nothing about the fraudulent science on the jabs. Disappointed but not surprised to hear that scientists and politicians need to own up to the ‘mistakes that were made’ so we can ‘move forward’ and ‘learn lessons’.
Mistakes were not made; that is just a continuation of the lockdown narrative. It is profoundly naive/wilfully ignorant to think that governments around the world acted in lock-step, supported by a media working in identical lock-step, were panicked and incompetent rather than knowledgeable and motivated. Everything they did was the exact opposite of what they should have done, and they knew it. A seasoned journalist should be practiced enough in media analysis to see this, but I guess it can be difficult to see the real questions through all this low-hanging fruit.
We don’t need ‘more research’ to determine how to cajole those in power to own up to mistakes. We need investigation into those with motive, those who benefitted from lockdowns etc. I tire of this navel-gazing about the state of trust in media. People don’t trust media because the media has lied to us, it’s that simple, so the real question is WHY AREN’T THEY TELLING US THE TRUTH???
Tara, you’re falling behind. Great work on complicating the narrative about wokery and whatnot, but this interview doesn’t reveal anything besides Bardosh’s cowardice in actually speaking truth to power, and how unwilling you are to actually dig into territory Canadians need to know about. Start uncovering the corruption, please, or you may as well just go back to the CBC.
Tara, though I appreciate this interview, to me it seems to be “too little, too late.” At the very beginning of the “pandemic” (even though I’m not a scientist), I was suspicious of the “COVID narrative” that was sourced from government health officials and then heavily supported by the MSM. I felt, at the time, that all of humanity had gone insane and wondered if our species, as a whole, was simply in self-destruct mode. Now I look back on everything that happened and see it as a power-grab by global Puppet Masters. I think, ever since the beginning of our species, we’ve always operated under the narrative “Might Makes Right.” Whoever has the power, we humans traditionally and naievely assumed, deserved to have that power. That’s why early humans believed that kings were “anointed by God.” Now-a-days, we’ve got a planet full of super-rich billionaires who (in my opinion) see themselves as the our new Kings. Maybe these new Kings will figure out how to divide planetary resources in a way that is pleasing to them, or maybe they’ll be duking it out at some point in order to prove who’s at the top of the Power Heap. But, what’s going on now is unsustainable. What will save humanity, at this point (and in my not-so-humble opinion), is if we individuals quit looking outside ourselves, to the “experts” (eg., the priests, or the kings, or the scientists, or the political and health leaders) for Truth. We have a heck of a lot of power of discernment deep within ourselves (what used to be labeled as “common sense”), but for some odd reason we humans, as a whole, are still too afraid to look within and to trust ourselves—our own inner wisdom, our own gut instincts. I confess that I don’t have much hope for humanity, as a species, at this point; but I’ll be very, very happy if one of these days I’m proven wrong.

The National Citizens Inquiry regarding the pandemic is ongoing.

Fantastic. And about time. My own thoughts on the disaster disaster published yesterday: https://toonsday.substack.com/
