The masks, valued at more than $200,000, were provided to staff at long-term care facilities. Toronto health authorities were investigating whether caregivers were exposed to COVID-19 while wearing the equipment. The masks represented around 50% of Toronto's inventory of surgical masks, according to Matthew Pegg, Toronto's fire chief and general manager of emergency management. − − In May 2020, Prime Minister [[Justin Trudeau]] drew criticism for using Canadian tax dollars to import CCP flu "vaccines", manufactured using aborted fetal tissue, from China to test on Canadians.<ref>Two references: − *[https://www.rebelnews.com/trudeau_to_test_covid-19_vaccine_developed_chinese_army_on_canadians Trudeau wants to test COVID-19 vaccine developed by Chinese army on Canadians ASAP] at Rebel News − *[https://www.rebelnews.com/trudeaus_covid_vaccine_made_by_china_from_hek293_cell_line Trudeau's COVID-19 vaccine: Made by China from aborted fetal tissue (and you're paying for it)] at Rebel News</ref> In a March 2021 interview with [[Rebel News]], Dr. Mark Trozzi expressed his doubts about the "vaccines", rhetorically asking why he would "...take a potentially dangerous experimental injection for a non-fatal illness".<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/doctor_doubts_validity_of_covid_vaccines_interview_with_dr_mark_trozzi_part_two Doctor doubts validity of COVID vaccines | Interview with Dr. Mark Trozzi (part 2)] at Rebel News</ref> − − According to ''[[The Washington Post]]'', China took two Canadian citizens [[hostage]], Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, to pressure Canada not to extradite to the United States Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of [[Huawei]] and daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2018/12/17/china-is-holding-two-canadians-hostages-its-not-even-denying-it/</ref> After Justin Trudeau publicly thanked Taiwan for Covid relief assistance, the CCP demanded return of two [[panda]]s from the [[Calgary]] Zoo.

power), displayed [[Gestapo]]-like tactics as they illegally attacked and assaulted peaceful anti-CCP flu lockdown protesters and [[Rebel News]] reporter Keean Bexte during that protest, then unjustly arrested anti-lockdown protester David Pawlowski with no verifiable cause.<ref name="Edmonton Police"/> − *In Calgary, Artur Pawlowski, the pastor of the Cave of Adullam Church, fought back against the discriminatory diktats against church services by ordering Calgary police officers who disrupted a Holy Week worship service in the church by coming in without a warrant in search of alleged "COVID-19 violations" to leave the church, calling the intruding officers Nazis and Gestapo.<ref>Two references: −

Rebel News, which covered the story, has offered legal help to Dimensions Tattoos to help them fight the lockdown ticket. − *In Calgary, a bar and restaurant called Outlaws Taphouse and Bar was driven out of business by heavy-handed pandemic-related government bureaucracy by Alberta Health Services, the City of Calgary, the provincial Occupational Health and Safety department and the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission, which insisted on the enforcement of face mask diktats, refused to allow for mask exemptions, imposed unreasonable orders on them and stripped the bar of their food handling permit, their business license and their liquor license, followed by the Calgary Police Service being sent to serve a closure notice on the bar.<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/outlaws_taphouse_is_out_of_business_thanks_to_alberta_government UPDATE: Outlaws Taphouse is OUT OF BUSINESS thanks to Alberta government] at Rebel News</ref>

involved agencies accountable for their imposition of pandemic-related anti-business tyranny. − *In Edmonton, Rachel Notley exhibited signs of the CCP flu while holding a press conference at the Alberta Legislature, yet refused to quarantine herself as she attended legislature sessions while hypocritically demanding business closures across the province and unconstitutional restrictions on personal freedoms despite no longer being the Alberta premier; when asked by Rebel News about CCP flu testing within the Alberta NDP's ranks, Notley and MLA Kathleen Ganley refused to answer and ran off.<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/alberta_ndp_leader_has_coughing_fit_during_press_conference_wont_address_covid_questions Alberta NDP leader has coughing fit during press conference, won't address

health officer, Bonnie Henry, by opening the restaurant for in-person dining; Rebecca Matthews, the restaurant's owner, indicated the hypocrisy of Henry in keeping a winery which she owns in the town

her restaurant open in defiance of the small business-targeting lockdown. − *Physician Dr. Stephen Malthouse criticized Bonnie Henry for the diktats she imposed on the province during the CCP flu pandemic, pointing out that her edicts have been based more on politics and imposition of power and control by the regime of BC NDP premier John Horgan than on scientific fact and stating that there is no scientific or material evidence to justify lockdowns, face mask diktats, social distancing, closures of schools and businesses and closures and/or restrictions on places of worship, then (while pointing out that evidence pointed toward the pandemic being over and that a predicted "second wave" of the CCP flu would not materialize) called on Henry to end her pandemic decrees;<ref>Two

respect their exemptions, as well as by the local RCMP detachment, when they were roughed up and arrested, falsely charged with "disturbing the peace", "mischief" and "obstruction of an officer"
