This is excellent and courageous research done by Avery Haines of W5.

I was similarly impressed by her work on another file – – to the point of watching this video when I saw her name on it.  She is about the only mainstream Canadian journalist I have a great deal of respect for, today.

The posting about the same story,

2025-10-26 Canada’s Meth Superlab exposed, near Kamloops.

UPDATE  Nov 15, 2025:    This posting is gone.

– –  does not even mention the New Zealand side of the story, or the problem New Zealand has or had with obtaining response from Canada’s RCMP or Drug Enforcement,  etc..   Hence my question:  who prepared that video?  – – some entity that calls itself “Zone Canada” with under 1,000 viewers?

I say to myself:  be careful.  The BETTER piece of journalism BY FAR is this one by Avery Haines  (the W5 group).    “Zone Canada” coverage  points you to look down opposite paths.    W5 tells me  “look here.   THESE are the questions that need to be answered by Canadian media.”

Trump and many of his people are going hard to stop the poisoning of kids.   Like him or not.  I suspect that Trump knows what Avery Haines found when she dived into the almost-instant Death of a Maori kid, from a can of Canadian beer (branded “Polar” – – even though he didn’t like the taste, spit it out and rinsed his mouth.   Dead, nonetheless.  That’s what we’re exporting.  Rest assured we’ll pay for our failure to stop the corruption.   You think it’s the RCMP’s fault?  Watch the video – now what do you think?   I think that the “Principled Vision For a Sovereign and Free Nation” –  – a sovereign Alberta inside a sovereign nation MIGHT be able to shake things up enough to start fixing the problems of this “not-democracy”.   If we can’t, well I’ll be dead and gone anyway!   (God!  I’d love to know what the culmination of these efforts will be, before I go!)

Cartel Canada | W5’s Avery Haines investigates a Canadian meth pipeline

I met  NADINE WELLWOOD at the Calgary conference.    By now I’ve read her little book.   It is the missing piece!

You see,  I have been under a shadow for so long – – unable to figure out HOW we are ever going to get rid of the corruption in governance of our institutions.   We battle on;  everywhere there is great work being done. . .  but corruption still triumphs.   People seem comfortable just ignoring or forgetting about the invisible elephant.

Ah ha!   This little book.  It stopped my wailing.    . . .  Of course!    How did I forget that THIS is the way it goes?!  

Thank-you Nadine for your insights – – the path becomes clear.   Governance is not a jungle of darkness and impenetrable overgrowth.  

 It’s formidable and scary,  when we start thinking  and saying “ah, but it’s too complex”!   

EXCERPT FROM COCHRANE NOW,  Alberta Rising: A Principled Vision For A Sovereign And Free Nation by Nadine Wellwood

Thank-you to Your local paper (“Cochrane Now”)  for supporting you.

. . .    “I end the book with the comment, ‘I now hand the pen over to you,’ because this is not about my ideas,” she said. “It’s about getting people to think, to question, to propose something different, and to have honest conversations about how we can improve our society.”

Excluding the bibliography, notes, and references, the book is about 100 pages. Each chapter begins with a quote followed by Wellwood’s thoughts and commentary.

“It’s designed to be engaging, with very short chapters and sections. It’s really about provoking thoughts and challenging some ideas,” she said.

Alberta Rising is available in hardcover, softcover, and Kindle versions through Amazon, with plans for author-signed copies and potential local events.

(INSERT)   I quickly obtained more copies of the book – – My local bookstore easily found it on their suppliers’ list.)

I (Sandra speaking) have wanted to know first-hand a bit of what’s going on in Alberta, as you may know.  Most recently, I attended the Calgary conference in September.   I am B.C. resident, with Saskatchewan roots, 15 years of life in Nova Scotia,  two stints of working in the Territories,  the better part of a year living in North Carolina.  3 out of 4 of my Grandparents came to Canada from the U.S.   Canadians and Americans share lots of bloodlines.   I worked for a summer in Norway and lived with second cousins.  I really don’t care what colour skin you got dumped into.   I really DO care about governance, because that determines what will become of us.

Everywhere , there are groups drawing attention to what affects them.   That is good.   There is a group distributing attractive, small tent-cards that encourage people to start a conversation, to talk with each other.  I saw their cards in a local coffee shop that’s buzzing with conversation.  Every time I start up a conversation (I like to talk – – ha ha!)  I think of them,  whoever they may be.

And then POOF!  the magic wand delivers a book, “WORLD ON MUTE” by Lisa Miron.     Lisa analyzes the situation and sounds an alarm for  free speech.   As usual I don’t agree with everything; I never do.    But the book is well-placed in time and on our collective readers’ list.   I see more clearly that the “censorship silo”  is “the free speech silo”.
