You still have not learned the basics of allegations and evidence. What dark part of the world did you come from? No legal system, except Communist China and other heathen countries, accepts an allegation without evidence. That means nobody needs to give evidence to dispel an allegation that has been made without evidence. It is just speculation, which is not established fact. In civilized countries and groups, we don't waste time trying to dispel false claims and allegations and we don't need evidence to do it.

I would hate to think Trudeau is the leader of Canada's defence in any serious situation.

That might be true, but do you think they are limited to what they can do with the data? Do you not think they are restricted to only using it in a way which serves a specific purpose for the data being there? Or do you think they can move the data between various departments that have nothing to do with the health care of the citizen for example? I am not sure what business a bureaucrat would have with someone's personal medical records. I would think it is only stored for the business of a person's treatment. While bureaucrats may have access to it, they like a doctor's secretary would not be free to use the data for any other purpose than what is expected for the person's medical care. You seem to think otherwise. There is no free-for-all.

Seems like you do a lot of yelling. I still can't figure out if you are in favour of government intrusion into people's lives where they have no business. You sound much like some kind of mouthpiece for the Ministry of Truth in government. If you read the privacy laws the government describes it is very complicated and sounds like it leave the door open for almost any kind of intrusion into people's lives. Canadians appear to have even less freedom than I thought. Summary of privacy laws in Canada - Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada Your idea that border security can have any medical records sounds ridiculous if it is true. Looking for the legality of any drug you might have even if it is a prescription drug sounds like a good excuse to demand all kinds of information that has nothing to do with it. The funny thing is you seem to be in favour of bureaucrats having the power to do almost anything. Here is a link to a government website that proves how complex the subject of confidentiality really is. The more rules, laws, and regulations there are, the less freedom Canadians actually have. Its like the flawed Charter of Rights. Government interprets it to mean any citizen only has the right to what is spelled out in the Charter and how the courts interpret it. Anything not clearly spelled out means citizens do not have those rights. We actually have a Charter that is a negative rights charter. You have no rights unless the government says you have rights and spells it out for you. What kind of neo-Marxist country is that? Must we bow to the benevolent government for giving us human rights now? A government which generally does not believe in God and therefore does not believe in God-given human rights. They prove it with legalized killing of citizens. Never assume you have any rights in Canada. You might find you have none when it comes down to it. You approve of that. Are you a neo-Marixst, i.e. believes that Government is God and can never do wrong?

I have news for you Michael. The Premier of Saskatchewan said on the news this morning it is illegal for government politicians and bureaucrats to have access to people's personal medical records. Perhaps the laws of confidentiality have something to do with it. He said the only people who legally have a right to individual medical information are medical professionals. So this whole thing about using digital ID to collect personal information may already be illegal. Government, politicians and bureaucrats are not exempt from privacy laws and regulations. In my opinion the only people who have a right to such information are people who have a legitimate reason for it such as your doctor or medical professional working with you. I am not a lawyer and don't know the laws on confidentiality but that makes sense. That is why we need to protect laws on privacy. Keep government out. That would seem to indicate border guards are no exception; I doubt they would have a right to an individual's medical records. None of their business.

Bit of positive news on the television this morning. Premier Scott Moe of Saskatchewan was answering questions and said there will be no digital ID information shared about individual Canadians or their health records. He said they received a few hundreds letters expressing concern about it. Letters do make a difference. He said the only information that would be shared is aggregate information as he called it. He said this is the only kind of information that is asked for. This is information about the number of people treated for various things, and such statistical information. He emphasized it will not include personal health records or personal information about individuals. He says releasing personal information would be illegal anyway. The only people who have a right to personal health information are health professionals. Let's hope he is correct. The only question I have is why didn't the federal health minister or Trudeau himself make this clear in a public statement to the public. They have had months to tell the public, but as far as I know said absolutely nothing about what kind of information they were talking about. Very strange and irresponsible.

When I see all the people that die every year unnecessarily like the 13,581 that died in 2020/21 waiting for procedures in health care, I can only shake my head in disbelief. In light of that I would not say Canada is a civilized country. That sends the wrong message to politicians. That seems to be sanctioning or glossing over something that is seriously broken and dysfunctional. Politicians should somehow be held accountable. Instead they are pulling in huge salaries for very little effort and don't appear to be fixing the problems. I guess how one feels depends whether it is someone close to home who died or yourself on some waiting list. If their cheques and pensions were tied to performance instead of for just being there, perhaps it would make a difference.

One big problem with saying these balloons are surveillance or spy balloons is it diminishes the fact China has already infiltrated every aspect of our political life, academia, business, technologies, telecommunications, etc. This spy balloon claim is a perfect distraction for China because it makes everyone think that balloons are the only way they can spy on the west when in fact they have infiltrated every aspect of western technology and life. Good grief. Wake up! These balloons actually play into the hands of people like Trudeau who admires Communist systems like his father. Successive Canadian governments have enabled a huge trade relationship with China making them the second largest trading partner while doing next to nothing to stop their influence in Canada. It is not the balloon that is spying; China has spied on the west and collected technology and information for decades. The real reason for the balloons may be to distract everyone into thinking these balloons are the only spying China did when they have collected a vast amount of intelligence for many decades. Our leaders and mainstream media have aided China in this by making much of the balloons as spying. If you want some evidence of the ongoing intelligence gathering, read some books like "Claws of the Panda" by Jonathan Manthorpe which talks about Beijing's campaign of influence and intimidation in Canada.

Is Canada a Civilized state? Good question. 67% Canadians agree Canada is broken. "At least 13,581 patients died while waiting for surgeries, procedures, and diagnostic scans in 2021/22 — up from the previous year's total of 11,581." This is purely because of the state's choosing not to put enough money into the health care system and choosing not to make major reforms of the system. B.C. announced recently that they had billions of dollars in surplus. Provinces have been giving billions of dollars out in financial support cheques to everyone. Yet the health care system is in a crisis. Obviously their priority is not health care. Over 10,000 people per year chose doctor-assisted death in the last couple years (MAID). Over 1,200 people died by overdose in B.C. the past year. Around 80 to 100 thousand babies are aborted per year in Canada alone. Every day at least someone is assaulted by a stranger on the streets of Vancouver. Some die. Gender identity and sexual orientation is taught to children in schools. Lots of reasons for why Canada could not really be a civilized state depending on one's definition.

While politicians dither around and refuse to take any significant steps to fix the broken health care system, people continue to die waiting for surgeries, cancer treatments, etc. "At least 13,581 patients died while waiting for surgeries, procedures, and diagnostic scans in 2021/22 — up from the previous year's total of 11,581." Premier Smith says no to national health-care 'Digital ID'- Rebel News What we have now is state-sanctioned death by neglect plus if you don't like it, death by doctor-assisted suicide is available for many. Over ten thousand a year have already been taking that route. Hitler's Dr. Mengele would like this country. This is how they manage the budget. More money for safe supply and supervised injection sites in places like Vancouver. Not so much for drug rehabilitation centres. Many can not access government-funded rehab because of the long waiting lists and don't have the kind of money needed for private rehab centres. "Dr. Josef Mengele was a German Schutzstaffel (SS) doctor who was in charge of the medical team at the Auschwitz concentration camp where Jews were taken for extermination."

"Alberta has joined Saskatchewan as the only Canadian provinces opposed to implementing a national health-care “digital ID.” Premier Danielle Smith tweeted Friday afternoon that she stands firmly with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe in protecting private health information. I agree and stand firmly with @PremierScottMoe in protecting Albertans’ private health information." Premier Smith says no to national health-care 'Digital ID'- Rebel News These are the only Premiers that have any brains on this digital ID. I guess the rest of them don't care or are in favour of it. Especially the BC NDP Premier will be all for it. The more government control, the better for the NDP.

Doctors in B.C. are calling for the B.C. government to approve doctor's assistants. Yet the B.C. NDP gov't is piddling around trying to decide whether to approve them or not. This is the trouble with a health care system run by politicians. They love to have studies, appoint committees, hire consultants, and so on instead of getting things done. Tragic but a fact. This could have been done many years ago. The system has been a crisis for many years, maybe decades. Yet they vacillate and can't make decisions that would help. I don't hold out much hope. The also sat on their ass while the terrible shortage of doctors continued to grow and foreign-trained professionals are unable to get certified in B.C. because of all the red tape and high costs of around ten thousand dollars. This is entirely the politicians fault. A couple people recently were on the news telling how they are trained doctors (one is a cardiologist) and were working in labouring jobs to survive because they don't have the ten thousand dollars to become certified in B.C. Some lawyer anonymously stepped forward and donated the money for both of them. The BC NDP government continues to drag its feet.

What is also strange is why does NORAD (the U.S. and Canadian forces) need the approval of Trudeau to shoot it down? If it is a threat, why does the Canforces need to run around looking for Trudeau to ask him if it is ok to shoot it down? Shouldn't the officers in the Canforces have the authority to make a decision like that? It is a relatively trivial thing anyway. Or have we become a one-man government and defence force?

California’s reparations proposals may carry a steep price for Democrats Democrats in San Francisco district and California are proposing to pay anything from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars to each descendent of a slave. Is this similar to the billions of dollars in payout to First Nations people in Canada that have already been going on? Maybe the American FNs could get in on it too. Don't forget about the Japanese who were displaced and sent to other locations in WW2. And what about the Chinese? The Hispanics perhaps? California’s reparations proposals may carry a steep price for Democrats (msn.com)

Alberta and B.C. are using Digital ID to access government services that are available online. That is not what the girl on Twitter is talking about. The video is on a Twitter feed although originally may have been on Tik Tok. Should be safe to click on. Her comments are opposed to Communism. She is talking about far more than government services. Without even reading or listening to these articles, how are going to make any intelligent comments about them?

I disagree. That's your belief. I believe knowledge is better than lack of knowledge. If people are biased against it, nothing anyone says will convince them otherwise anyway. The prophets who wrote these things several thousand years ago were absolutely correct. Simple fishermen and sheep herders revealed things thousands of years ago that seem to be coming to pass now. How could they know the future several thousand years beforehand without divine direction? Its simply not possible. We will always have people who refuse to believe things because of their biases. We can't get around that.

"16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: {to receive: Gr. to give them} 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Revelation 13:16, 17 KJV Are we heading in the direction of a one-world government controlled by an anti-Christ where nobody will be able to live unless they are under complete submission and control of the government? I just watched a free movie on the internet about the Great Tribulation prophesied to come, possibly sooner than people think. In the movie, anyone who does not take the Mark of the Beast, cannot buy or sell anything and if caught, will be beheaded on a guillotine. Unfortunately I cannot find the movie at the moment. There are lots of free movies on the internet about the Tribulation period prophesied in the Bible (book of Daniel, Revelation). George Orwell also wrote a book called 1984 about Big Brother controlling society in the extreme. The Twitter user thinks totalitarian control of everyone is coming with the use of Digital ID. Listen to what she has to say:

"Despite the obvious paternalism, a regulator of online expression appears to be coming down the pipe, based on consultations underway by the Department of Canadian Heritage. Such a system would run counter to our actual Canadian heritage, which includes the right to free expression — not government-regulated expression, which will be the practical result of censorship legislation. While no bill has been tabled yet, you can expect an “online harms bill” early this year ." "Canadians might soon see a proposal for a quasi-judicial system to regulate the internet, in order to keep us from experiencing mental, emotional, psychological and social harm. If that sounds like an effort to treat adults like children, that’s because it is." Jamie Sarkonak: Trudeau Liberals want to treat adults like kids with online harms bill (msn.com) Could Digital ID be used to coerce Canadians into thinking and speaking the way the government decrees one should? Digital ID on the internet could mean the government would have the ability to know every detail about everyone's life, where they go (Smart phones GPS systems track their location), where they shop, where they bank, what they buy, what their interests and beliefs are, what their associations are, etc. Digital ID would allow the government to track everyone's financial transactions on the internet and possibly collect personal information if they so desired. Trudeau has already made judgements about who the worst kind of Canadians are. Could Digital ID have a negative effect on those Canadians who do not fit into the government mold?

There is a poster on Twitter who claims the Digital ID is being demanded by Trudeau in exchange for federal health care funding. I am not sure this is really true. I checked the BC Government website and it appears they already are using Digital ID for provincial government services. The poster seems to think it could be expanded to include control over banking, shopping, and everything else. I have not seen evidence of this. I don't know. I am suspicious that Socialism as with the public health care system could expand in that direction. I think it is reasonable to believe Trudeau Liberals want to control everything on the internet including social media and everything posted on the internet. There are websites that say bill C11 which is currently before Parliament is designed to also control social media comments. What’s wrong with Bill C-11? An FAQ | OpenMedia

I have a feeling we will never know what the balloon really was. It was mentioned on the news giving information out about it might now not happen because of "national security". After all the claims that it was a spy balloon, why would they admit they were wrong? When the top brass would have to backtrack on something like that, then I guess it could be a "national security" issue as it would throw into question their judgment.

The truth of the Devil named Satan and an almighty God scares you I guess. Fear is a natural consequence of sin because you know deep down I could be right and you will be held accountable for your behavior at some point. That is why God sent his Son, Jesus Christ into the world to die for the sins of mankind. He was very merciful to have his Son suffer and die for sinful mankind. It is the only lifeline that exists. You call it a crutch, but without it your destination is hell. Some crutch. Its your decision what you want to believe and whether you will accept Him as your Savior and Lord or continue to reject the truth as stated in the Holy Bible. " 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. {reproved: or, discovered} 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. " Gospel of John 3:16-21 KJV

Here comes the prolific ---- you fill in the blank. Yes, much of the dumb population wants everything free handed on a gold platter. The government listened to the Socialists, left wing nutjobs, and the millions of dumb voters and promised to deliver it. The government imposed a public health care system promising Canadians would be taken care of. But failed to deliver for years and the system is going down the drain. Utter failure of a Socialist/ public health care system. Politicians like to make nice-sounding promises but don't have a clue how to deliver on them. The knew it would cost vast amounts of money, but didn't care. They should have known the bureaucracy would be almost impossible to manage. They can't manage their way out of a wet paper bag. The set up a system that gives politicians, who have no clue or ability to manage a bureaucracy, the power to run it. No wonder it is an abysmal failure. So how can they manage a health care system largely benefiting unions and professional associations who seem to be running things for their own benefit, not the patients?

Millions of Canadians would disagree with that claim. Millions do not have a family doctor. Thousands of people died waiting for their treatments and are still waiting. Many people suffered waiting six or twelve hours or more in ER rooms. I don't think the health care system largely works. Only for those people who don't have to use it.

Instead of getting into tantrums, why don't we discuss things rationally. I am pretty sure the Devil loves people to throw tantrums and throw books and furniture around the room. It is better to keep cool and speak with reason. I would suggest to read some books on the subject of Christianity and civilization. One good book is "The Right Side of History", How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great by Ben Shapiro. He says in the inside cover "Human beings have never had it better than we have it now in the West. So why are we on the verge of throwing it all away?" Do emotions matter more than rational debate? Is the only meaning in life subjective and arbitrary he says? The sooner we learn we are created in God's image, our bodies belong to him, and he created this world, the better off we will be. The liberal secular idea that everyone should just do their own thing no matter what it is leads to anarchy and disaster, not to mention suicide, and mental illness which a large part of the population has. The solution to all these problems is God's written revelation. Why don't we sit down, calm down, and give God a chance to speak through his written word, the KJV Bible? Our country is prosperous because it is built on law, order, Judeo-Christian principles, and in the past good governments to a large extent. We are able to work, earn a living, build families, and have a good life. Why would anyone want to throw that all away in the hope of building a better society on secularism? It won't work that way. God has blessed millions of people in the west. They have more prosperity than the heathen nations ever dreamed. The godless heathen nations are busy fighting each other and destroying what little they have. Look at some African countries, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Haiti, etc. Total anarchy. They don't have principles to guide them. They have lots of fighters who think they are fighting for god, but they are not. They don't have reason and moral laws.
