Now, there's a lot of people here in Ottawa that were around during the trucker convoy in 2022, and you brought that up in your testimony as something that was kind of shocking to you to see the government respond that way. Is it shocking to you to find out that the government's still appealing the decisions and the acquittals that happened to this day? Tamara Leach and Chris Barber are still under prosecution.

Ron Johnson · 4:35:00

It doesn't surprise me because I'm not a fan of government. As I said in the testimony, one more definition of government is power. And as Lord Acton said, power corrupts. So it's a corrupt process. Um, no, I, it was, it was disappointing. I mean, as bad as it was in America, it was worse in Canada and Australia. Again, I kind of view these, you know, we're all soulmates here, right? We're brothers and sisters, spring from same heritage. So it was, it was hard. It was very sad to watch that. I hope this is the start of turning things around here in Canada.

Jason Lavigne · 4:35:32

Now you're here at the Allison Inquiry, the first day, the first testimony. So thank you very much for coming out for that. But this is one of also the first times in Canada that anything's happened on the Parliament Hill. Any MP has stood forward and you see around that table, there's 20 seats. But there's only 4 MPs there, a lot of empty seats. What are your thoughts about that?

Ron Johnson · 4:35:49

I appreciate the, the 5 that we had, including, you know, uh, MP Allison, um, that's not unusual. I mean, people, people, when you're not in session, they're out traveling the districts, uh, doing, uh, you know, that type of thing. So I, I appreciate the, the ones that came and I appreciated the, the media that showed up as well. It is unfortunate that the CBC and other, other legacy media here in Canada didn't choose to cover it, but Eventually they'll be forced to.

Jason Lavigne · 4:36:16

Absolutely. And one of the things that we're working hard on here is independent media, but our government is coming down hard on it with Bill C-11, C-18, and many others to try and silence us and stop us because we don't have the same type of thing as you, as freedom of speech. What will happen if independent media is completely extinguished here?

Ron Johnson · 4:36:33

You'll lose freedom. Yeah, that's why you want freedom of the press, is because freedom of the press assures Freedom. Without it, uh, government use that power and crushes your freedom. As government grows, freedom necessarily recedes. So, you know, the, the solution here is don't elect liberal progressives.

Jason Lavigne · 4:36:51

Easier said than done around here. As you see, we even have people across the floor to help take a minority government to a majority government, which gives them a runway to go ahead and do what they're doing. Now, in some ways, you said that Canada is kind of ahead of the curve versus the U.S. on some of this. Can you expand on that?

Ron Johnson · 4:37:06

Well, about the one area is in terms of, uh, comping the injection injured, but they haven't done much. That's because the US has virtually done nothing. So they're, they're a little bit ahead, but I'm not, I'm not singing their praises at all. They're, you know, across the board, the injection injuries are being ignored. They can't get treated. They're certainly not being compensated.

Jason Lavigne · 4:37:26

Now there's a new name that came up to you during his testimony, Dr. Theresa Tam. Not a new name to Canadians. We know exactly who she was. She's kind of like our Fauci, where she was the one that was providing the government the guidance. And I'm glad that you're going to go searching in your database and emails for that particular term. What kind of turnaround do you think we can see from that? Can we get this soon?

Ron Johnson · 4:37:46

It's hard to— I mean, again, we're trying to go through 11 million pages, and we're trying to do— get devices, and got other priorities. But I think quick search term, we'll find out if anything pops up. If we find something, we'll release it to Canada.

Jason Lavigne · 4:37:58

We really appreciate that. Now, near the end, you were talking about the bombshell report that you have that nobody's talking about. Can you talk about that a little bit?

Ron Johnson · 4:38:05

Well, again, that was the, uh, you know, 11 million pages my staff found that Peter Marks, the head of the FDA division that approves vaccines and surveils for safety, was warned that the algorithm they're going to use to analyze the VAERS system, the vaccine adverse event reporting system, was going to hide in mass safety signals. It's easy to understand why. They, they compared Pfizer to Moderna and other vaccines, then they compared Moderna to Pfizer and other vaccines. Obviously, that's going to be a problem there. They're equally dangerous but equally safe. And so it was obvious to me, you know, once I understood the concept, uh, but they hid behind that. They, they refused to use different algorithm that they used the data, or Dr. Anna Sharfman used and showed them twice the safety signals, including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, which Anthony Fauci suffered from in June of 2021. They also policy different types of stroke. They continue to use the algorithm that they knew was hiding safety signals, and they denied the existence of those safety signals.

Ron Johnson · 4:39:10

They're still denying it. So no, to me, it's when you had literally tens of thousands, if not millions of lives at stake. How could there be a bigger government spending scandal than that? But it's not being covered by legacy news media because they're captured.

Jason Lavigne · 4:39:24

And let's add a couple more names to your list, or basically every Minister of Health for every province, but Dana Henshaw for Alberta and Bonnie Henry for BC. Let's go see if there's any more of those, uh, name search.

Ron Johnson · 4:39:35

I will do the search and we'll do them all.

Jason Lavigne · 4:39:37

Well, we appreciate your time here today. Thank you very much.

Shawn Buckley · 4:39:39

God bless.
