2Nd Letter to Scott Moe.Pdf Mark Friesen Founder & CEO Forum for Canadian Sovereignty [email protected] www.ffcs.info Saskatoon, Sask. January 24th. 2021 Mr. Scott Moe Premier of Saskatchewan Saskatchewan Legislature Regina, Saskatchewan Open Letter Dear Mr. Scott Moe: You recently tweeted that if people had questions regarding the measures taken by your government in relation to covid, that we could send you an email. I’m pretty sure those actions have been taken, en masse, for months. Completely ignored. But I will try again and take you up on this recent invitation, in the form of an open letter. During the last 10 months there have been protest groups forming across our province and around the country, in response to the measures your government, and other governments, has taken. Cookie cutter measures being applied around the world, except for sovereign nations like Sweden, and sovereign states like South Dakota. I say sovereign because they did not follow the herd of governments taking orders from an unelected foreign body at the WHO, heavily influenced by the Chinese Communist Party. No, they made decisions based on all the available science and in the best interests of their people. You, your government, along with enormous help from the media, based all of your decisions on numbers. Numbers, numbers, numbers. Case numbers and death numbers. These numbers have been derived from a PCR test. A test, the actual inventor of, stated, should not be used to diagnose infection. I include his statement here: https://youtu.be/dVVm1FAiRgI Many folks across our province have been questioning the reliability of the PCR test to amass the numbers you are basing the measures on. We all do that because of the vast amount of information available and provided to us by experts in the field. I will include a couple of those for you to have a look at. Mr. Scott Moe January 24th. 2021 Page 2 Dr. Yeadon: https://youtu.be/D1onx7LaNio Dr Bhakdi: https://rumble.com/vcsg8l-dr.-sucharit-bhakdi.html For many months this information has been widely available, yet the media doesn’t mention any of it and your government has failed to even mention these people and their evidence. Here are some more resources you may find helpful while determining the best course of action in the best interests of the people of Saskatchewan. The Corman/Drosten Review Report Review: https://cormandrostenreview.com/report/ After reading and listening to only a few experts, you can quickly understand that there are many issues with the PCR tests as a diagnostic tool, but more importantly, as a mechanism to justify lockdowns, measures, and restrictions to our rights and freedoms under the charter. For months we have been identifying these issues as loudly and peacefully as possible, falling mostly on deaf ears. Deaf ears in government, deaf ears in the media, and deaf ears in the population, of which have been fear mongered by the narrative continuously and perpetually by the media and the government. For a flu that has 99.7% recovery rate for anyone healthy and under the age of 77. Last week, on the day of the Presidential Inauguration (coincidentally enough), the World Health Organization (WHO), released an updated notice. That notice confirms, at least in part, what many experts, including the ones I included in this letter, have been saying since the beginning of this “crisis”. That the test is only an aid in diagnosis, that other tests must be taken to insure accurate diagnosis. It also clearly states that the healthier a person is the higher rate of false positives are derived from the tests. That using a 40 ct (cycle threshold) on healthy people almost assures false positives. Yet you and your government continue to depend on numbers, numbers derived from a flawed test, to make decisions that are destroying livelihoods, businesses, childhoods, and lives. Here is that released notice from the WHO: https://www.who.int/news/item/20-01-2021-who-information-notice-for-ivd-users-2020-05 WHO Notice Excerpt: WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2). This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS- CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity. Most PCR assays are indicated as an aid for diagnosis, therefore, health care providers must consider any result in combination with timing of sampling, specimen type, assay specifics, clinical observations, patient history, confirmed status of any contacts, and epidemiological information. Mr. Scott Moe January 24th. 2021 Page 3 An unelected foreign body heavily influenced by the Communist Chinese that was fully aware of the problems presented by a PCR test, but only chose to recognize those issues one year later, while governments around the world, including yours, based everything on numbers solely derived from this test without including all the other tests required to establish accurate numbers. Effectively nullifying your justification for the measures you have imposed upon a generally misguided and ill informed population. Furthermore, while freedom rally groups have been actively and peacefully demanding that you open the debate on these issues and others, you, along with the media, have contributed to the shaming, ridicule, and abuse, we have all had to endure. For simply demanding open and transparent debate and dialogue. You have divided the people of our province based on a singular narrative; a narrative established by unelected foreign entities and propagated by the government, in concert with the mainstream media. You have also put many people in an unwarranted legal situation, by instructing law enforcement to unlawfully ticket and fine good people just looking for the truth while being the voice of many asking questions. Many of those folks have been silenced for fear of losing their job and fear of facing the same shaming and ridicule from a fearful society. A fearful society you have nurtured. All the while completely ignoring our rights and freedoms under the charter of rights and freedoms. ie: freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, freedom of mobility, and rights of life, liberty, and security of the person. The charter is very clear, these rights are guaranteed and shall not be limited, subject only to the government demonstrably proving that these limitations are reasonable and appropriate for the circumstance. You have not done that. It is precisely what we have been demanding and every freedom rally. See the Oakes Test, particularly sec. 2(c) https://ualawccsprod.srv.ualberta.ca/2019/07/oakes-test/ Courts in other jurisdictions: https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2020-11-27/covid-pcr-test-reliability-doubtful- portugal-judges/56962 https://www.sarajevotimes.com/constitutional-court-of-bih-decides-masks-and-movement- restriction-are-human-rights- violation/?fbclid=IwAR2gxXng7NM3cWQ72PbdWZSsBFQ37d4P6emjA5MNvAzksW-RF-f- ISO7xaU Finally, while rallying and protesting around the province and across the country, we are continually framed as “anti-maskers”, shamed for being “conspiracy theorists”, ridiculed for simply demanding the truth, demanding our rights be protected under the charter, and demanding open and honest debate and dialogue, we have also been accused of “killing grandma”, as if us not wearing a mask or social distancing, outside in the fresh air, is going to expose “grandma” to death by virus. The only one “killing Grandma”, or in better terms, exposing our elderly to death, would be the folks who have denied treatment to our elderly. Effective treatments like ivermectin and HCQ, among others. While the elderly is being locked up, lonely, and are dying, you have Mr. Scott Moe January 24th. 2021 Page 4 chosen to follow the global narrative established by the WHO, in partnership with big pharma, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine. A vaccine that has not even gone through any appropriate testing. A vaccine that is literally killing people and disabling people around the world. All the while people cannot get in for “elective” diagnostic procedures because our hospitals are “overwhelmed” with covid, overwhelmed in the same way they are overwhelmed every year during flu season, as per our nursing unions screaming every year to date. If in fact this is real concern, a lot of us are doubtful, you had months to create more beds and hire more staff to deal with the “second wave”. You failed to do that. Why? My guess is because you knew the hospitalizations were no greater this year than any year and you didn’t want to hire a bunch of new staff for something that will pass. But we’re killing grandma? These measures you have taken have far worse consequences than the actual disease. The “cure” is worse than the disease. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/canadian-experts-research-finds-lockdown-harms-are- 10-times-greater-than-benefits Testimony for Ivermectin: https://youtu.be/Tq8SXOBy-4w Mr. Premier, it is way past time to do the right thing. At the very least it is time to open the debate and discussion regarding the above information. I understand the political risk this information puts you in and the consequences to telling the truth now, versus before, it most likely challenges your political career, but isn’t the truth more important. Aren’t the lives, livelihoods, childhoods of Canadians and Saskatchewan residents more important than your career? Yet it seems your biggest concern, your biggest inspiration to get tough comes after 9 people stood on a public sidewalk outside Dr. Shahab’s residence? Because those people are tired and frustrated at being completely ignored? Real leaders choose to do what is best for the people that elected them to do, just that.

    ALLAN BLAKENEY: DEFTLY NAVIGATING THUNDERSTORMS Brian Topp Saskatchewan Premier Allan Blakeney was one of Canada’s greatest premiers, and there is much for us to learn from his approach to issues ranging from managing a resource dependent economy and the Charter, to how to run a fiscally responsible, economically literate and socially progressive social democratic government.

  • Reorganization of Saskatchewan's Health Labour Relations
    Reorganization of Saskatchewan's Health Labour Relations \ Health Labour Relations Reorganization Commission January 15, 1997 Saskatchewan The Health Labour Relations James E. Dorsey, Commissioner Reorganization Commission Allan Barss, Legal Analyst Ted Boyle, Communications Advisor Grace Marbach, Administrative Assistant January 15, 1997 The Honourable Robert W. Mitchell Minister of Labour Room 355 - Legislative Building Regina, Saskatchewan S4S 0B3 Dear Mr. Minister: Enclosed are The Health Labour Relations Reorganization (Commissioner) Regulations and my accompanying report. I thank you for having entrusted this important responsibility and formidable challenge to my competence and judgement. Your government and all its agencies provided every assistance that I requested. The affected unions participated vigorously. The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour and national bodies to which some of the unions are affiliated made every effort on behalf of their affiliates to find an acceptable outcome. The Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations and its members provided valuable assistance and vigilant representations throughout the process. Many other organizations and individuals took time to make written and personal representations. A small dedicated staff in your Ministry worked tirelessly to help me strive for success. Any failings in the regulated solutions not meeting the current problems or becoming unforeseen problems tomorrow are entirely mine. The regulations substitute 45 appropriate bargaining units for the current 538. They reduce the incidence of health sector collective bargaining from 25 collective agreements to 9 or 10, depending on the outcome of a representation vote in one unit. Individual employee seniority and accumulated service is protected as employees move into or from one bargaining unit to another. The incidents of rivalry, jurisdictional and representational disputes among unions and employees cannot be totally eliminated.

  • Gender and Saskatchewan Social Democracy from 1900 to 2000
    1 Gender and Saskatchewan Social Democracy from 1900 to 2000 By David McGrane, Carleton University Presented to Annual Conference of Canadian Political Science Association June 3rd, 2006, Toronto Introduction While there has been a limited amount of scholarly work done on women and the Saskatchewan Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and New Democratic Party (NDP) within various time periods, there has been no systematic attempt to evaluate the place of gender and women’s activism within the entire Saskatchewan social democratic tradition of the 20th century.1 This paper seeks to correct this deficiency by dividing the history of women and Saskatchewan social democracy into four distinct periods: agrarian protest movements from 1900 to 1933, the CCF from 1933 to 1964, the NDP from 1964 to 1982 and the NDP from 1982 to 2000. My approach focuses on the ideas and activities concerning women within the social democratic organizations, parties and governments of these periods as well as examining the relationship between social democracy and the broader women’s movement in the province. It is shown that early agrarian protest movements within Saskatchewan displayed openness to women’s concerns and participation during the first 30 years of the 20th century. However, the Saskatchewan CCF, which came directly out of this agrarian movement, had an unimpressive record of advancing women’s issues, giving women positions of power within its party organization and increasing the representation of women in the Legislature. The NDP government of Allan Blakeney in the 1970s did illustrate a greater awareness of women’s issues than the previous CCF government even if, judging by the demands of feminist groups of the time period, it made only moderate progress on women’s concerns and fail to elect a single female MLA during its time in power.
