Talk on Censorship Censored in Canada

by Will Jones
18 May 2023 9:00 AM

If you want to discover the limits of free speech nowadays, talk about sex and gender, says Joanna Williams, whose upcoming talk on free speech and gender ideology has been cancelled by an Ontario public library. She writes for Spiked:

On social media, on a university campus or in the public square, try saying that a woman is an adult human female, men cannot become women and there is no such thing as a transgender child. The response will be immediate and, sadly, predictable. There will be protests, perhaps police intervention and, almost always, censorship.

This was the point I planned to make in a public lecture organised by Canada’s Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship (SAFS) later this week. This open lecture, free for anyone to attend, was to be held at the London Public Library in Ontario. Not any more. In an irony clearly lost on the library’s managers, they have cancelled my talk about censorship. They have stopped me from saying that discussions of sex and gender are routinely censored. In doing so, they have stopped members of the public from discussing one of the most fundamental issues of our time. And they have clearly proven my point.

The London Public Library has provided a textbook illustration of contemporary censorship. Email exchanges between SAFS and the library managers reveal the bureaucratic ways in which censorship is now often enforced. The library’s managers first asked Mark Mercer, the SAFS president and event organiser, to provide an “assessment” of the event by reviewing the lecture content and presentation slides. I am delighted to report that Mercer, a philosophy professor at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, did not give in to this request. In making such demands, institutions reveal their double standards: some people get to speak freely without having to submit their work in advance, while others need to be monitored and pre-approved. Having to submit transcripts of public lectures hands enormous power to bureaucrats. They get to act as both judge and jury in determining what can be said or heard.

Keen for the event to go ahead, Mercer sent the library managers links to filmed clips of other talks I had given. Here we saw a second censorious tactic come into play: delay. It took nine days for the library’s meetings and events coordinator to reply with a default non-response: “As per the library’s policy governing room rentals, we are not able to approve the rental request.” This was a political decision hidden behind ‘policy’. It made it seem as if censoring this event is merely a case of ‘computer says no’. When in reality, it was actual people objecting to the views of a particular speaker.

Eventually the library explained that that SAFS annual lecture would likely pose “a risk or likelihood of physical danger to participants or the audience or misuse of the property or equipment”; that it could “negatively impact or impede the ability of others to enjoy the services and facilities of the library, and/or library operations”; and that the lecture was “likely to be in violation of library policy, including, but not limited to, the library’s rules of conduct, charter of library use or workplace harassment and sexual-harassment prevention policies”. Weaselley bureaucratic excuses for censorship, in other words.

Thankfully an alternative venue was found for the talk.

Worth reading in full.

This is part of the German equivalenty of sick pay (Lohnfortzahlung im Krankheitsfall). That’s meanwhile legally optional for the employer when unvaccinated employees have to quarantine for any reason (as far as I know).

Screw the contract. If the rest of the squad stuck up for them, that would be end of that pretty quickly.

My standard question to those who stand by while colleagues are fired or discriminated against is: where do you draw the line? Will you say anything when they are incarcerated? How about if they are quietly eliminated? Probably not a word, ever. That’s the grim truth.

That’s probably more of an artefact of the wonderful proportional representation voting system: Tendencially, this will produce a fractured parliament with 3 – 5 party groups having about the same vote share with none of them being even remotely close to having the support of a majority of voters. The end effect is a coalition government formed of a number of parties each of which a majority of voters rejected.

In the Netherlands, the ruling coalition fell apart and since then, no new one could be formed. In Germany, negotations are ongoing and will probably not finish for many months to come. Reportedly, they have a real government in Italy but led by a prime minister who’s not an elected politician himself.

I’ve called this kind of democracy a system of organised stasis in the past: It’s designed such that nothing ever happens because all parts neutralize each other. This will obviously not work very well in any crisis, even in a mock crisis like the current one. I also strongly suspect that it is very much intended to work in this way, at least for Germany: Keep the Germans busy with squabbling, then, they won’t interfere with anyone.

Our own Parliamentary system could, in theory, allow for a non political figure to become Prime Minister so long as he could rely on the support of a majority of members of the Commons.

See my reply to RW above, 2 up.

It’s one reason their States (Lander) were given so much more power than our own local government; they were intended to act as a counterweight to over powerful central government but, in some cases, they seem to have been even more keen on regulations and mandates, Hesse in particular.

Agüero joined Barcelona in the early summer and would have had a very thorough medical prior to being signed. Clearly no obvious heart problem of concern was found at the time. We know that he has been “vaccinated” and we know that the “vaccines” can cause cardiac issues and sometimes death. The vaccine should be suspected as being the probable cause of the Agüro’s retirement unless it can be shown to be otherwise. There are strong grounds to be sceptical and of course we are here to sceptical, so why are you giving the vaccine a free ride?

I am not giving the vaccine a free ride by any means, but I am being sceptical about whether it is fully responsible for Aguero retiring that’s all. We don’t know the reason, but it is possible he has started to develop a cardiomyopathy as a lot of elite athletes do, ,and given his history this has to be considered. You cannot separate a persons medical history. The vaccine may have exacerbated a problem. All the testing in the world didn’t stop Mwamba or Foe collapsing.

If ‘vaccinated’, then lost wages are reimbursed in full.

These players didn’t catch anything by the way. They have to isolate because they were in contact with several others who tested positive, who were all ‘vaccinated’.

Elsewhere on this site I read that the UK vax rate is 68% and the EU average is about 57%. Yet this article says Germany’s rate is 68% and it has “one of the lowest rates in Europe”. Which, if any, is true?

The rates of vaccination and double-vaccination in Germany are about average for the EU.

Source: Our World in Data. That graph shows the “EU” rates, which I assume are calculated by numbers vaccinated divided by the size of the EU population. “Average” can mean many different things, and there are probably types of average that can be chosen that will show Germany as having low rates or high rates.

As far as Europe goes – i.e. inside and outside the EU – Germany has high rates. (At the same site, you can choose to show figures for Europe as well as the EU. I have no idea whether they count the European parts of Russia, Kazakhstan, and Turkey – of which the first has by far the largest population – as in Europe or not.)

Unsurprisingly, the Mail is misreporting this: Docking wages for unvaccinated employees who have to quarantine because someone else tested positive (I personally know someone affected by this were said someone else was vaccinated) is a general policy of the German government.

If I was a football director of a league 1 EFL team, I’d be considering an offer for these players in the January transfer window. Something along the lines of “we will not ask you about personal medical procedures, you will not feel like a second rate player and we will pay you every day you are with us…in fact, you will be league heroes!”
Worth a go….

I think a bigger point would be made, if the players moved to a lower League club, without pressures of playing in “Europe”, with restrictions, to enjoy being loved again by both team and fans. I would definitely be putting offers in for a few players….there will be some willing to make the move. Just looking to get out before the other sort of training camps open.

It’s better than that: Everybody who wants to get vaccinated Germany has to sign a form stating this is his voluntary decision, that he has been informed about the possible negative consequence and he is willing to proceed at his own risk, ie, in order to get vaccinated, one has to sign away any rights to compensation for vaccine damages.

Am I reading this right? The named, unvaxxed players have their pay docked for having to quarantine or miss training when they are healthy; and a vaccinated player tests positive for Covid and it’s tickety-boo?

Can’t they train together after-hours, or wouldn’t that be punishment enough? Nobody’s even pretending to be fair or equitable any more.

Who would ever trust authorities ever again.

I set off an alarm in local Sainsbury’s this afternoon lifting up a paper poster covering a pillar that looked like they might turn it into a vax-pass port. Turns out it was the thing that screeches if you leave the store with a security tag still attached. Husband said it’s all getting to me: he’s probably right.

As I have been saying all along. The ‘Vaxx pass’ could be a credit-card sized plastic card with a chip. No latest ‘vaccine’ and it’s made invalid (remotely). Or it could be your bank card itself – easy to link ‘vaccine status’ to your bank account, and, again, no latest update jab and you lose access to your money.
I know some think that’s far fetched. I’ll ask you when I see you standing outside the gate looking glum.

It will be interesting to see the reaction of their jabbed-up player colleagues. One would hope that they would stand with their teammates. Somehow, though, I doubt it.

Was Aguero not a high profile enough example? What did I read the other day: this season, we’ve lost 7 elite players to heart issues, as many as the previous seven seasons added together?

Again, these clowns don’t seem to see that their policies are illogical and irrational.

So the fully vaccinated players Niklas Sule and Josip Stanisic are the ones who have tested positive, but the unvaccinated players, who have not tested positive, have to quarantine and have their pay cut.

Oh, that makes such a lot of sense! Not.

So much for demonizing the unvaccinated; here it is the fully vaccinated causing the mayhem. But that’s OK, because they’ve been obedient citizens and done as they’ve been told. Pandemic of the unvaccinated, is it?

And then we have this prophecy by German Health Minister Jens Spahn:

By the end of this winter everyone in Germany will either be vaccinated, recovered or dead.

Applying a little logic to that, since he believes that the ‘unvaccinated never infected’ group will not exist by next March, what is he proposing to do with them if they remain healthy? Execute them, or mandatorily vaccinate them?

Seems like Germany is rediscovering its facsicm.

I asked the sports site The Athletic to run a story summarizing the number of vaccinated college and pro athletes who have “tested positive.” I also asked if one of their reporters would research the percentage of athletes who tested positive who were “asymptomatic” or experienced only very mild symptoms. I asked if they could occassionally mention how many athletes had died or been hospitalized from COVID (zero). Also, what percentage of athletes came back to play their sport after contracting this disease (this is 99.9999 percent).

No editor or reporter followed up on my story suggestions and I was eventually banned from posting in the Comment Section for the offense of defending unvaccinated coaches and athletes.

The narrative is being protected by sports “journalists” and censorship is protecting readers from “harmful” contrarian opinions and facts.

That’s an important thing. Every single person in the country who is outside the official population count is by definition unvaccinated. When the UKHSA calculate infection/hospitalization/death rates in the unvaccinated, they’re calculating the number of unvaccinated people by deducting the one figure they do know (the number of vaccinated) from the total population.

There are arguments about whether the NHS figure for the total population should be used, or the ONS figure. But the key thing is that for years there’s been suspicions that the total UK population is higher than any official estimate. I mean, we all know one or two people who for one reason or another live and work below the radar, illegal immigrants being the obvious example. Add those to the numbers of unvaccinated, and vaccination efficacy can only go one way – downwards. The question is, by how much?

No, they were not “forced into self-isolation as a result of their personal choice”, they were forced into self-isolation as a result of madmen who chose for them.

Washington State University in America fired five of their football coaches, including the head coach, last month for refusing to get vaccinated. This has gotten hardly any attention. I’ve seen no media person defend these coaches’ right to make their own health decisions or castigate WSU for firing these coaches.

Unvaccinated athletes are second-class citizens; this is legal apartheid/discrimination.

And how many professional athletes have died from COVID in the past 20 months?

… How many young, healthy athletes have already died or suffered cardiac events after being vaccinated? This is a State Secret, taboo territory for “watchdog” reporters.

This (partial) summary is so important. Please keep posting. I’ve reached the conclusion that the only way this vaccine agenda could be stopped (and people actually quit blindly trusting the experts and authorities) is if some high-profile vaccinated athlete dies on live television. I don’t know how this tragedy could be censored and go uncommented on, but they would probably try.

You mean like what happened on live television during the Euros 2020 football tournament in June 2021? Technically, he who can’t be named, died from a cardiac arrest, with no concerning medical history or identified cause. The only “fact check” I’ve seen is a football coach (not currently managing the footballer) saying he had not had the vaccine. This comment is irrelevant, as the footballer was playing for his country and had been with them for weeks.

I recommend this Yahoo Live story about a 21-year-old Tennessee golfer who developed myocarditis after his vaccination. It’s very rare such a story about “adverse reactions” even gets published by an establishment corporate media organization. However, if you read the entire story you will see that the true purpose was to reinforce the message that adverse reactions are extremely rare even among healthy young people, and that the risk of a severe case of COVID is much higher. 

Furthermore, the article defends the decision of Tik Tok to remove a video where this student athlete discusses his vaccine-caused case of myocarditis. So the article is pro-vaccine and pro-censorship.

The article also includes dubious data from a doctor defending the vaccines.

Dr. Eric Stecker, chair of the American College of Cardiology Science and Quality Council, tells Yahoo Life:

“… The CDC has analyzed the risk-benefit trade-off and found that for every million doses administered of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for people ages 12 to 29, approximately 6 deaths, 138 ICU admissions, 560 hospitalizations and 11,000 infections from COVID-19 will be avoided,” he notes. 

Parsing this statement:

Note the doctor states/implies that in a random sample of 1 million people aged 12 to 29 that six lives could be prevented (deaths “avoided”) if everyone in this sample had been vaccinated. This is the same as saying that at least six people in a million in this age group would have otherwise died of COVID.

As this statement involves athletes age 12 to 29, we can actually test this statement for plausibility.

I’ve actually researched the number of male athletes in the USA. Focussing just on athletes aged 12 to 29, I am confident that at least six million males participate in organized sports in America. This would include athletes from the junior high grades, through junior varsity, high school varsity, junior college, college (NCAA and NAIA) and professional sports.

We KNOW that these athletes have been participating in these sports since at least May 2020 – which is at least 18 months now.

So the question becomes how many athletes in our “sample group” actually died from or with COVID?

Per this doctor, we would expect that this number would be at least 36 deaths (6 deaths per 1 million participants in our athlete sample).

However, I am aware of, at most, only 1 or two deaths of athletes that have been attributed to COVID (two high school football players). I have been looking and I have read of no deaths of college or pro athletes in the entire United States (male or female).

So when attempting to calculate the “risk-benefit’ of young male athletes getting vaccinated, the real mortality rate among these athletes is 2-in-6 million (1 in 3 million) or 0.0001 percent.

In comparison, what is the risk a young male athlete will develop myocarditis? I’ve researched this as well. While these “experts” say this risk is “very rare,” it is not nearly as rare as the death risk from COVID (0.0001 percent). In fact, one study in Israel found that the incidence of myocarditis in young males was approximately 1 in 3,000. Other studies put this risk lower – maybe 1 in 10,000 or 1 in 20,000 – but, still, this is orders of magnitude higher than the risk of death from COVID.

I would also dispute the doctors’ view that “almost all (cases of myocarditis) are mild and do not cause long-term heart problems.”

Read the article – This young man was hospitalized for several days and suffered great discomfort. Per my research, there are no “mild” cases of myocarditis, which can strike suddenly or be undiagnosed for years before suddenly causing death or a major medical emergency. 

We also do not really know how many athletes may have died of myocarditis (or pericarditis) or cardiac-related conditions caused by the vaccine. The main reason for this is such events are probably censored (as this story eventually was).

Another link on this page shows scores of likely/possible deaths and serious cardiac-related events among vaccinated athletes. Most of these stories have been ignored and censored by the MSM.

Fair play to them. It’s the vaccinated players with covid who should be legally responsible for the loss of earnings following this through to its logical conclusion.

im sure they’ll survive on their decreased sáleles so the levers at the clubs disposal are clearly weak here.

Couldn’t they go on strike, and raise the profile of the tyranny? I wouldn’t work for an employer who did this to me (without a written statement of reasons, then I could sue later, if sacked).

Any club ‘buying them’ would be making a statement for freedom and justice.

Funny how two vaccinated players tested positive isn’t it?

They obviously caught it off an unvaccinated unter mensch type who was within 30 feet of them at some point in the past !

NFL star quarterback Arron Rodgers recently caught hell for not being vaccinated and not being forthcoming about his vaccination status. Rodgers tested positive and was forced to quarantine for 10 days although he was never really “sick.”

Rodgers did mention that he almost certainly caught the virus from a vaccinated teammate or coach.

5 times as many FIFA players have dropped dead on the pitch in September and October this year that in either 2019 or 2020. They were jabbed, on the balance of probabilities based on team policies.

They can’t do this, the players need to revolt and do it quick. But there’s a wider issue, society needs to smash these dictators squarely in the jaw and remind them that it is not acceptable to treat others with prejudice no matter how worthy they think their cause might be.

If you know anybody who supports this, start attacking them physically. A good beating is the only thing these arseholes who shut down debate and opinion will respond to.

Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

It looks as though the Bayern resistance has crumbled – according to ‘Stern’ at least three of them have caved in. Disappointing, but hardly surprising given the pressure that the club and media have placed them under:

“The political correctness, the virtue signalling, in regard to wearing a mask, has successfully pitted person against person, group against group, while the criminals who have orchestrated yet another trillion dollar bail out, in addition to destroying our biosphere and ecosystems, are left unscathed. Their profits (from the theft of labour and the natural world) continue to soar in record numbers. As ruling class global power consolidates, we are subjected to dangerous discourse. A class war is averted, as factions grow between we the citizenry, who must unite against the ruling class. A ruling class hell-bent on destroying what traces of our humanity remain. Hell-bent on the capturing of, and the continued plunder of, an already devastated planet, that graciously sustains all life.”

Has there been any questioning of the the Health Minister as to what is meant by his words by the end of winter everyone will be vaccinated, recovered or dead. Is it the German Governments intention to murder every man, woman and child who chooses not to take the vaccine?
Why has no one put this question to him, or to the Chancellor? Why has our Government not condemned these words, and the actions of the Austrian Government? Is it because they too are reserving these methods for the British people and believe them to be acceptable?

It is an interesting phrase as the Diamond Princess indicated that only 20% of people exposed to the virus will actually catch it, although this may have changed after Delta. So there will be a great number neither vaccinated, dead or recovered – they just won’t have caught it due to a strong immune system or previous exposure to something sim8lar.

Ridiculous:
1. They are not quarantined because they are positive or because they would like to.
2. Since when being sick is illegal? (they are not though…)

Let’s hope the vaccinated players will demand a similar wage cut in solidarity with their teammates, or donate the difference to charity, perhaps one caring for vaccine-injured people.

The number of athletes who have died or suffered cardiac conditions post vaxx is staggering. These athletes now refusing the vaxx are very wise. Why are they not being offered early treatment in the event they contract Covid.
