Supreme Court delivers blow to Alberta gov in $15 billion coal lawsuit — former minister ordered to testify

The decision clears the way for Savage to be questioned under oath about the province’s controversial reversal on coal mining policy.  . . . . . .

 

Meanwhile, legal observers say the outcome of the expropriation case could set an important precedent on whether governments can be held financially liable for reversing decisions that dramatically affect industry investments even when those reversals reflect public will.

Alberta lawyer Roger Song

CALGARY, AB: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is providing lawyers to Roger Song in a constitutional challenge to the Law Society of Alberta’s (Society) authority to be “woke” and promote wokeness in the profession. 

A hearing on this matter will take place at 10 AM MDT on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta in Calgary, located at 601- 5th Street, SW. 

Mr. Song’s challenge targets several rules underpinning the Law Society of Alberta’s broader ideological agenda. 

Rule 67.4 is being challenged for enabling the Society to impose a wide range of politicized requirements—not limited to Indigenous content.  

Rules 67.2 and 67.3 compel lawyers to submit annual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) plans tied to a new “Professional Development Profile,” which Mr. Song argues redefines legal competence as adherence to woke political beliefs. 

Part 6.3 of the Code of Professional Conduct, which addresses harassment and discrimination, is being challenged for seeking to redefine legal ethics and to suppress dissent. 

The Profile and the Code are further criticized for being so vague that they are impossible to navigate without adopting an approved ideological framework. 

Together, these requirements form part of what the Law Society itself calls its “Political Objectives,” which Mr. Song argues constitute an abuse of regulatory power and a direct violation of the Society’s duty to shield the profession from political interference. 

According to Mr. Song, the entire regime violates his Charter rights under sections 2(a) and 2(b), amounting to compelled speech, forced ideological conformity, and suppression of conscience and expression. 

This mandatory training reminded Mr. Song of the political indoctrination he experienced in Maoist China, where he was previously employed as a legal professor in Beijing. 

The Alberta lawyer was called to the Alberta bar in 2014. In 2019, he was required to complete “cultural competence” training to maintain his legal credentials in the province. He later decided to petition the Society to let lawyers vote on ending mandatory professional development training. 

That effort failed. Undeterred, he launched this challenge in 2023. 

In court documents, the Society admits to “political” and “ideological” objectives, but refuses to define such terms. It claims that the court does not have the right to see evidence about, or review that conduct, to evaluate whether it is lawful or constitutional. 

Mr. Song argues that lawyers in Canada must remain independent from politically motivated perspectives. 

According to Mr. Song, the Society is advancing policies under vague terms like “competence,” “ethics,” and “diversity,” without clearly defining them. He said these policies promote racial division and ideological conformity. 

Mr. Song is asking the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta to defend the rule of law and uphold the freedoms of all Alberta lawyers under the Charter 

“The Law Society’s actions threaten those foundations,” he concluded. 

Constitutional lawyer Glenn Blackett said the implications of such a policy are considerable. 

“The Law Society effectively seeks to change Canada’s law by changing the way lawyers work – by changing their ‘culture.’ In a democracy, the legislature makes and changes laws, not law societies, not law firms.” 

He added, “The Law Society is arguing that the Court is not allowed to even think about the Law Society’s political objectives. In essence, this is just asking the Court to abandon its duty to ensure that state power is exercised legally and constitutionally.”

After my arrest Feb 17, 2022 I was put into solitary confinement at the detention center. I called it the dungeon as that’s exactly what it looked and felt like. It was a few days before I was given a pencil or paper. I passed my time praying, working out, meditating and spent two full days cleaning some awful graffiti off the walls in my cell and bunk. I figured if I was going to be there for awhile I needed to make it my own space. Once that was completed I took my little pencil and wrote out the lyrics to O Canada and drew the Canadian Flag beside it on the inside of my bunk so that every morning when I opened my eyes it was the first thing I saw.

It was a reminder of why I was there and what we were fighting for.

Every single day was worth it.

Conservative Damien Kurek announced he will step down as MP for Battle River–Crowfoot to allow party leader Pierre Poilievre to run in a by-election following a narrow and controversial loss in his own Carleton riding.

Kurek was re-elected with nearly 80 per cent of the vote.

“It has been a tremendous honour to serve the good people of Battle River–Crowfoot as their Member of Parliament since 2019,” Kurek said in a statement on Friday. “Their support and commitment to the Conservative movement has been unmatched.”

Poilievre lost his longtime riding of Carleton to Liberal newcomer Bruce Fanjoy by a margin of approximately 2,000 votes.

He held the riding since 2004 marking over two decades of a Conservative presence in the Ottawa region, often dominated by Liberals in recent years.

The contest garnered national attention after more than 90 candidates appeared on the ballot, creating confusion and unprecedented challenges for ballot counters.

Citing the need for strong leadership in the House of Commons, Kurek said he believes it is in the best interest of his constituents and the country to allow Poilievre a path back into Parliament.

“I know we need Pierre fighting in the House of Commons to hold the Liberal minority government to account,” said Kurek. “This is what’s best for Canada, and is what’s best for Battle River–Crowfoot.”

Kurek also pointed to the party’s strong national showing under Poilievre, noting that the Conservatives earned their highest share of the popular vote since 1988 under Brian Mulroney.

“The people of Battle River–Crowfoot will be represented well by Pierre for the remainder of this Parliamentary session,” Kurek said. “I will keep working with our incredible local team… and then run again here in the next general election.”

The Prime Minister must formally call the by-election to allow Poilievre to run, Mark Carney said earlier in the day if Conservatives opt to re-elect Poilievre via by-election that he will ensure it happens as soon as possible “no games, nothing, straight”.

Dear sandra,

This is autism. April may be Autism Awareness Month, but for millions of families, including many within our own community, autism is not something we recognize for just 30 days. It is every day. Every hour. Every moment.

For those living with or caring for someone with profound autism, the challenges are relentless and often overwhelming. The sleepless nights. The communication barriers. The fear of wandering. The unpredictability of violent outbursts. The heartbreak of seeing a loved one struggle to connect with the world around them. These are not statistics. They are lived realities. They are our stories.

Autism does not end when the awareness campaigns do. And for us, the mission doesn’t either.

Watch this powerful video on what the mainstream media is saying about autism and the truth as we know it. This video will premiere tomorrow on CHD.TV. You are seeing it first.

 

At Children’s Health Defense, we stand with every family navigating this complex journey. We believe in asking the hard questions and demanding real answers. We believe in science with integrity, in research that digs deeper, and in a future where our children are not just understood, but protected.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has never shied away from difficult truths. His courage to speak out, to challenge the narrative, and to fight for the most vulnerable inspired a movement and propelled him to becoming Secretary of HHS. With your support, that movement continues to grow stronger every day.

As we move beyond this month, let’s remember – awareness is the first step. Action is the next. And hope is what carries us forward.

Looking forward to truth and lasting change,

The Children’s Health Defense Team

P.S. We have new resources on autism that we’d love to share with you. If you haven’t seen our autism page please take a look and share with friends or family who may need the information.

Neurodiversity Is a Strawman

Personal Stories

A dear friend had a beautiful, healthy, engaged baby boy.
After his first round of childhood vaccinations he went blind, non-verbal, started head banging, having seizures, lost all engagement, and fell into the abyss of autism. Today that child is 40. He is incontinent, cannot speak or feed himself, and is totally dependent upon his father to survive.

Another friend had a son and a daughter.
The daughter, following her first round of childhood shots, experienced almost exactly the same scenario described above, minus the blindness. At the time my friend did not connect the dots and when it came time for his son to be vaccinated, the child began to seize. In the room, my friend put it together and stopped the rest of the shots. Today, his son is only mildly autistic while his daughter, at 26, is non-verbal, incontinent, and often uncontrollable. Since the son is only mildly autistic, I suppose we shouldn’t look into the cause of his issues? It’s a gift, right?

A mother (a client in one of the many tragic cases) had a teenage daughter who, after a round of the Gardasil vaccine, suffered a seizure and went into a coma. The young girl had been captain of her volleyball team, top of her class, poised for a full and happy life. Today, at nearly 20, she lives in total darkness because she has seizures every 30 seconds – cannot have any light. The neurodegeneration is unquantifiable. She cannot read or watch TV, let alone go on her first date, go to prom… experience the life she should have and would have.

Another friend had a perfect, beautiful young daughter who was exceeding all of her milestones. After her second round of jabs, she locked in, stopped talking or making eye contact, developed a severe learning disability, and is still struggling today, at 6. She, too, will never experience the “normal” milestones we all would like to see for our children.

Those stories, anecdotal though they may be, are the tip of the iceberg.
I could share thousands, each one worse than the next, that would make most people sit in a room and cry forever.

Media Normalization and Misdirection

The media machinery has conflated mild spectrum disorder with what I just described above specifically so that people will have the reaction they are having right now. This is normalization of extremes by conflating them with non-extremes so that it’s a step-by-step incremental (and coordinated) attack on those who would expose the root cause of the terrible suffering experienced by so many. It’s executed so that people like RFK, Jr. are hobbled from doing their job.

Neurodiversity vs. Harm

How does questioning the environmental harms and risk factors for autism and/or neurodegenerative disorders threaten or even conflict with the idea of autism as neurodiversity?
Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.

No other disease has people normalizing a spectrum (no pun intended) of symptoms ranging from terrible to non-debilitating in order to argue that it’s actually great. We don’t say there’s a spectrum of neurodegenerative disorder from paralysis to neuropathy and there are benefits to neuropathy therefore neurodegeneration is great. This is normalization at its best.

Suddenly everyone’s kid is Rain Man. Suddenly everyone is “on the spectrum.” Ergo, it’s normal. Being a little bit weird is beautiful and normal and we are all a little bit weird so that’s not a disorder.
This is a psyop and everyone is falling for it.

No one is saying there is something wrong with neurodiversity or that we shouldn’t also be looking into that. But when it comes to discovering the contributing factors and co-factors, the environmental insults, and the increase itself in autism to date, we’re not talking about that.
We are talking about, and have only ever been talking about, the above scenarios.

Silencing Investigation

The tactics to muzzle debate and halt real investigation are duplicated across all levels.
(This should all sound eerily familiar when we recall the conflation, normalization, media machinations, and strawmen to emotionally activate opposition tactics used during Covid.)

Unanswered Questions & Red Flags

  • Pharmaceutical companies have no liability for vaccines.

  • The pediatric schedule increased from 3 to 72 in one generation.

  • HHS draws a hard line at 1989 for autism – the year combination vaccines emerged after 1986 liability protections.

The media is adept at keeping dots that should be connected in silos so that most people do not connect them.

The Burbacher Study & The Mercury Debate

The Burbacher Study, if anyone were to know about it, SHOULD have at least sparked research into these potential harms.

Instead, Paul Offit – spokesperson for the pharmaceutical industrial complex – dissects a strawman.
The strawman? Ethyl vs. methyl mercury.

How the Strawman Works:

Offit’s argument:

Ethyl mercury (Thimerosal) clears from the brain faster than methyl mercury.

The problem?

  • There are organic and inorganic types.

  • For the organic type, Offit is right.

  • For the inorganic type, he’s wrong.

Key points:

  • Both ethyl and methyl mercury break down into organic and inorganic forms.

  • The organic form of ethyl mercury clears from the brain faster.

  • The inorganic form of ethyl mercury does not clear – it remains forever.

  • Even methyl mercury clears better, including its inorganic form.

So Offit’s comparison is flawed twice:

  1. It’s irrelevant (no one is proposing methyl mercury injections).

  2. It’s incorrect if considering clearance rates of inorganic forms.

Simply put:
The Burbacher study proves mercury crosses the Blood Brain Barrier.
Did we pause and investigate? No. We ended animal studies for mercury.

A Larger Pattern

This is just one strawman used to marginalize and sideline risks and harms.

Others include:

  • Autism and HHV-6?

  • Autism and glyphosate, PFAS, and forever chemicals?

It’s not ignorance – it’s profit protection and regulatory capture.

Flawed Logic & Confirmation Bias

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Only ONE vaccine has ever been properly tested – and even that, never fully.

If you search one lit area of a dark street and find nothing, do you conclude the entire street is empty?
Do we pour concrete on our confirmation biases? Or search for the truth?

The former is happening. The latter is being suppressed.

What’s Really Being Prevented

The assertion that these issues have been addressed is false.
In fact, it has been disallowed.

A strawman causes outrage.
Outrage creates chaos.
Chaos halts real progress.

That’s the model. It’s coordinated. It works.

The Cultural Psyop

People predictably snatch up the dog treats thrown to them by the mainstream.

The perpetually offended contingent muddies the water by coming unhinged.

We apologize for using a Whole Foods bag at Trader Joe’s.
We’ve become reactive to everything, including the trivial, while ignoring the existential.

What Matters Most

RFK, Jr’s job is not to be Gandhi, but to stabilize a floundering nation.

We cannot prioritize the weakest subset of our population from a government perspective, or we die.
We cannot produce caregivers as fast as we are producing people with autism.
We have to scale back the rate of increase.
That starts with finding and mitigating the cause(s).

A Final Word to Skeptics

To the skeptics:
You likely have friends or children affected by these injuries.
They are terrified to speak out.
They do not have the bandwidth to fight the mob.

I hear from them.
They are grateful for this work.
They are begging not to be “outed.”
Forward-facing, they appear compliant.
But it’s not the truth. Not for them.

They are living it, every single day.
Without a break. Not ever.

You’re hearing this straight from the horse’s mouth — our rather, our guest dental experts — that tooth fillings and water fluoridation are not as safe as public health officials and practitioners would like us to believe. They touch on the following:

  • Are fillings really made of silver or something else entirely?
  • Scientific arguments for the banning of amalgams
  • The power of consumer choice
  • Mercury in fish, brain damage and reproductive toxicity
  • Should we be consuming fluoride?
  • Litigation to protect the public from drinking industrial waste
  • Removing sources of neurological impairment

While the farmers are relieved to be permitted to have a judicial review of the culling order, they continue to face what they consider to be unreasonable restrictions and punishments from the agency while awaiting those proceedings.

The most recent measure taken against them is a fine they received on March 18. The CFIA issued the penalty due to their claim that the farmers “failed to notify the nearest veterinary inspector of the presence of a reportable disease or toxic substance,” an allegation Pasitney claims isn’t true.

“They slapped us with a $10,000 fine yesterday morning saying that we did not, that we failed to report this illness which is absolutely false,” she said. “All documentation has been given that this is the first case of H5N1 in Canadian history.”

According to Pasitney, when some of birds fell ill they initially believed it was the same non reportable flu that some in their flock caught a few years prior and they handled the onset of the illnesses the same way. “When we started having symptoms, which presented exactly like they did in 2022, we did absolutely exactly what we should have and we went right to our vet.”

The farm and their counsel has been in court this week for examinations for discovery, where both parties have been questioned about their positions and evidence in preparation for the judicial review.

The farm’s expert witnesses who are set to testify include viral immunologist and vaccinologist Dr. Byram Bridle, University of British Columbia Department of Medicine neurology professor Dr. Steven Pelech, and outbreak specialist Dr. Jeff Wilson, who holds doctorates in veterinary medicine, pathology, and epidemiology.

 

Pasitney expressed continued frustration with the CFIA’s refusal to conduct a thorough assessment to confirm whether or not the animals are even carrying the illness any longer.

“They have not done soil samples. They continue to not do water samples. They deny us testing and still the threat of a $200,000 fine or six months in jail if we shall test our animals ourselves,” she explained. “We have survivors and I think we need to be looking at them as survivors and see how we can use them to better science, not kill them and just keep killing the next animal and the next animal.”

According to Pasitney, thanks to supporters of the cause donating at the farm’s crowdfunding site, the farm has already spent $70,000 in legal fees, but expects to owe an additional $75,000 for the next wave of legal costs.

Despite the mounting costs and government pressure, Pasitney and her team remain determined to fight for the lives of their ostriches and the sovereignty of all BC farmers.

“We don’t know what will happen next, that they could come in and still murder all these animals,” she said. “We are in a huge battle to save our animals that in turn can save your animals. Let’s not allow this to be another mistake the government makes,” said Pasitney.
