Find the Fraud: fake news at the St. Catharines Standard! At the Toronto Star!

 VOA reported on Mar.16, 2021:

"The Washington Post has corrected a major story it published in January about the presidential election in the state of Georgia, saying it had “misquoted” then-President Donald Trump in a phone call with a state election official. In the December call, Trump was voicing his concerns about alleged fraud.

The original story, which was based on an anonymous source, said that in the call, Trump had told Georgia's top election official to “find the fraud” and that they’d be a “national hero” if they did.

On March 11, the Wall Street Journal revealed audio of the conversation, which showed Trump did not say those things. 

“Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator,” the Post wrote in its correction.

The recording revealed that the Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to “find the fraud” or say she would be “a national hero” if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, asserting she would find “dishonesty” there. He also told her that she had “the most important job in the country right now.”

"Numerous national media outlets repeated the erroneous quotes, citing The Washington Post.

During the call, the former president did claim he had won Georgia and that “something bad” had happened with the election in the state.

“I can assure you that our team and the (Georgia Bureau of Investigation), that we are only interested in the truth and finding the information that is based on the facts,” the election official replied, according to the audio released by the Wall Street Journal.

Trump responded to the correction by calling the Post’s original reporting a “media travesty” but thanked the paper for correcting it..." 

-

A political lie was blatantly used, and then carelessly fluffed off. The Washington Post has again proven itself to be nothing more than a political propaganda outlet.

In Canada, hundreds of MSM's eagerly and happily reprinted the WaPo lies.

WaPo didn't need evidence, they just made it up. The Canadian lame-stream media lemmings didn't need evidence; they just mindlessly regurgitated the Wapo lies. The lies did the job. Just like the 'phone call to Ukraine's PM" which was used to {falsely} impeach Trump in early 2020: a lie based on nothing but Trump Derangement Syndrome. Just like Turdo's '3M mask ban to Canada' hoax: a baseless deception, diverting scrutiny of the negligent Turdo himself. 

   So will the MSM, which repeated the WaPo lie, now also retract the disinformation which they published??

   The leftist/corporatist {fascist} propaganda conglomerate in Niagara, the Torstar/Niagara Dailies gang, happily spread fake news in their smug Anti-Trump political hit piece on Jan.15, 2021  in the pathetic St.Catharines Sub-Standard:

   "...Trump then tried to intimidate Georgia’s Republican secretary-of-state, Brad Raffensperger, to “find 11,780 votes” to help overturn the election result. When that scheme failed, Trump appealed directly to the grassroots supporters he had misled and misinformed for the previous two months..."

    Let's ask - seeing as this Niagara Dailies lie in the St.Catharines Standard was perpetrated only two months ago - how did David Peterson's corporate hit squad verify any of that?! It was a complete fabrication! 

    The TorStar marxist-factory didn't verify ANYTHING - and they actually COULDN'T - as it in fact was a lie all along. WaPo never heard the tape - so how could David Peterson's hit squad know anything??!!

    They were spouting bullsh!t. They MADE IT UP. No verified sources COULD be available, and THAT is what they were trading on: no real proof, just fake 'evidence'; just innuendo and conjecture portrayed as 'proof'. 

   Got it? The liars at the sick St.Catharines Standard reprinted lies, with no proof whatsoever - just fuelled by vile Trump hate. That was all that was needed, for this fake David Peterson 'journalism' to exist.

The St.Catharines Standard and Niagara Dailies were publishing FAKE NEWS.

   They were trading on the chance that NO evidence could possibly exist, which would show that in fact Trump DID NOT do what the WaPo claimed he did.

(Just like Vindman claimed (falsely) that he had 'evidence' that Trump did something wrong in the Ukraine call, and the fool Schiff immediately jumped at this deception and started spouting his lies within hours of the call, relying on the calculation that neither Trump, nor the Ukrainian PM, would ever release the entire phone conversation tape. )

(Thankfully, the demented congenital liar Adam Schiff would finally get kicked off the Intel committee in Jan. 2023, soon after the newly-elected Republican-majority House of Reps. took office. Schiff got away with endless lies while in office, while sitting as the Intel chair. A pathetic, traitorous moron, Schiff was lionized by Niagara's f-cked up leftist media.)

But both leaders (Trump and Zelensky) DID release it the next day, and blew the wind out of Schiff's sick lie. The Demotards really had to go into their demented song and dance routine, to bolster their lie, after the tape was actually released. They were planning it would NEVER be released, and therefore, they'd have a path to an unchallengeable impeachment... all really based on a lie.)

Similarly, that's what WaPo did as well, and then, literally thousands of uninformed lemming hack msm's reprinted WaPo's lie -  including the pieces of sh!t fake-news peddlers in Niagara.

610 CKTB AM "I heart radio" Jan 4, 2021 in Niagara {a CORUS / Bell Media corporate propaganda outlet which bills itself as "newstalk" radio, but in this case, was "610 CKTB Fake News talk radio" or simply "CKTB BullCrap radio"} also cited "Canadian Press" lies about Trump, spouting this preciously smug headline: "PRESIDENT TRUMP, ON TAPE, PRESSES GA. OFFICIAL TO 'FIND' HIM VOTES". (The headline, the content, the entire story: simply bald faced lies!)

    "President Donald Trump pressured Georgia's Republican secretary of state to ``find'' enough votes to overturn Joe Biden's win in the state's presidential election, repeatedly citing disproven claims of fraud and raising the prospect of ``criminal offence'' if officials did not change the vote count, according to a recording of the conversation.

The phone call with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Saturday was the latest step in an unprecedented effort by a sitting president to pressure a state official to reverse the outcome of a free and fair election that he lost. The president, who has refused to accept his loss to Democratic president-elect Biden, repeatedly argued that Raffensperger could change the certified results..."

"610 AM I heart fake news" clearly claimed that they had evidence Trump did / said something "on tape".

But, WHERE was the evidence "on tape"?

Did the fakers from CORUS / Bell Media play the tape which they used to smear the U.S. President??

Did anybody from "610 AM fake news radio" ever HEAR the tape, which they claim showed some kind of criminality by Trump??!!

The "610 AM Misinformation Network" was citing a tape which neither they, not anyone else, had actually heard, and used this as their jumping off point to spew Anti-Trump propaganda, and thereby interfere in the U.S. election process.

Any apologies being offered by this corporate gang of fake news disseminators? 

Ironically: it was 610 AM 's OWN FAKE NEWS THAT WAS A FRAUD.

  On Feb. 26, 2021, the Toronto Star (the same corporate fascist klan of the Niagara Dailies / St. Catharines Standard political propaganda machine) published lies written by AP's Kate Brumbach on the Trump/Georgia issue.

  On or around Mar 16, 2021, the Toronto Star  (hard to say when, as David Peterson doesn't specifically date the apologies for stories his fascist organization has to apologize for...) had to write this correction regarding what they FALSELY wrote back in another story (same Trump-Georgia issue) from Jan.9, 2021:

    "ATLANTA - In a story January 9, 2021, about a phone call between then-President Donald Trump and a lead Georgia elections investigator, The Associated Press, based on information provided by a source, erroneously reported that Trump pressed the investigator to “find the fraud” and said it would make the investigator a national hero. A recording of the call made public two months later revealed that Trump did not say either and instead said that if the investigator looked into Fulton County the investigator would “find things that are gonna be unbelievable.” Trump also told the investigator: “When the right answer comes out, you’ll be praised.” "

     Yes: the fascists at the Toronto Star were caught peddling FAKE NEWS. 

     Believe it, Kathy English: the Toronto Star happily writes FAKE NEWS.

     The utter irony of a fake-news-spreading organization projecting their virtue by not only denying that they do so, but doing it repeatedly while simultaneously presenting a façade claiming not only that they "don't make stuff up", but that they will somehow 'help' you in determining if news from others is fake or not!! 

     THAT is some complicated, pretzel-ized, multi-level cognitive dissonance and intellectual fraud goin' on!! Or it could be just plain ole propaganda... eh, Kathy? Years later, and the Toronto Star Fake News Factory is still spreading the fakery, and still peddling the lies!!! Looks like Kathy was spreading fake news about spreading fake news!!! 'Fake news' much, Kathy?? Doubling-down on the TorStar fakery?!!

     For cryin' out loud - the TorStar Fake News Factory wasn't even capable of discerning the fake news THEY THEMSELVES were HAPPILY, UNQUESTIONINGLY, regurgitating from WaPo!!!!!!!

Chris Bittle's and Vance Badawey's latest Canadian Liberal government lie: blaming Mulroney for Justin Trudeau's covid incompetence

    After Canada's Turdeau Liberals and their Liberal media friends created their 'mask ban' hoax in 2020, now in Mar. 2021 we see that Canada's Covid Killer Trudeau is lying about his role in creating the vaccine disaster in Canada, blaming everyone else but himself.

   We see that Turdo could not understand what a virus was, back in early 2020, smugly ridiculing Trump for shutting down flights from China. Turdo was incapable of recognizing a pandemic - all Turdo and his delusional band  of Libscum were able to recognize was a chance to slime Trump with their usual leftist-identity-politics attacks. Turdo only understood politics, not science. Turdo negligently kept Canada's borders open - even at Roxham Rd., where anyone could just walk in unchecked - while smugly deriding Trump as a xenophobe racist who didn't understand science. Yet - when Turdo finally did the SAME thing, no one called Turdo a science-impaired hatemongering black-faced xenophobe.

(...By the way, the Toronto Sun reported on Jan.23, 2023 that Turdo let in a total of 4,689 illegals enter Canada at Roxham Rd. - and this is in ONE month, in Dec.2022!! 

The Sun also reported that this one-month total for Dec. 2022 was MORE than had crossed Roxham Rd. during the entire year of 2021!! During the 2022 year, a total of 31,171 illegals crossed the Roxham Rd. border...)

   Soon after, Turdeau's negligence in giving away Canada's stockpile of masks to China, directly led to a looming shortage - which the Liberals (to deflect from Turdo's incompetence) created into another anti-Trump meme. The Liberals and the press happily spread a conspiracy theory (not banned by Twatter... hahah!!) that 'Trump banned mask exports to Canada'.

   In fact what happened, was that in Mar. 2020 Trudeau REFUSED to accept Honeywell's help in getting a reliable mask supply, but was gaming to make an insider deal with 3M . Creating a lie that Trump 'banned masks to Canada' was a MANUFACTURED POLITICAL DISTRACTION from Trudeau's OWN negligence. It was Trudeau's Liberals who in effect BANNED HONEYWELL MASKS FROM CANADA. We didn't know about this until just recently in early 2021 -  that was kept as a handy secret by Canada's leftist paid-for presstitutes. Lots of bj's for dementia-laden Biden and fawning praise for 'hero' Turdo, though...

   Every step of the way, from Jan. 2020 onwards, Turdeau's bumbling, negligent Liberals were failing Canadians.

   So, it is NO surprise - again - to see yet ANOTHER covid-related fiasco cocked up by Turdo's Libscum, this time on the vaccine front. 

   And again, we see the same by-now-familiar-pattern of lies and deceptions shat out by Trudeau's  Liberal Covid Criminals. 

   Now, the latest Liberal meme / lie is bizarrely blaming MULRONEY for Turdo's own incompetence.

   This delusional, desperate behaviour is rather hard to believe, until you step back and realize that if Turdo's Liberals say something, it's bound to be a deception, where major other pieces of the story have been covered up. That has been Trudeau's standard operating procedure since day one. Always spouting some lie, some deception, some spin on the truth. 

     Licia Corbella dissected this latest Liberal deceptive meme in her Mar. 20, 2021 Calgary Herald , story, headlined: 

   Corbella: Trudeau's blaming of Mulroney on vaccine problems delusional, say experts

   "For months now, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has blamed everyone for Canada’s trickle of COVID-19 vaccines but himself.

   Trudeau and his ministers have gone so far as to blame former Progressive Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney — who was prime minister from 1984 to 1993 — for the privatization, or “the selling off“, of Connaught Laboratories. What he fails to mention is that Connaught Labs didn’t go anywhere. It’s now part of Sanofi Pasteur, the world’s largest manufacturer of vaccines. The Connaught Campus in Toronto accounts for one-fifth of the company’s global vaccine sales.  

   Experts in Canada’s innovative pharmaceutical industry — as opposed to the generic pharmaceutical industry — says Trudeau’s attempt to pin the blame on Mulroney or a more recent Conservative prime minister, Stephen Harper, is ironic, because were it not for Mulroney, the innovative industry likely wouldn’t exist here at all.

    Paul Lucas, who was president and CEO of GlaxoSmithKline Canada from 1994 to 2012, started speaking out and wrote an opinion piece in the Financial Post after he heard federal Liberal Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc being interviewed on CTV’s Power Play with Evan Solomon, saying that GlaxoSmithKline had closed its manufacturing facility for vaccines during Harper’s Conservative government, which is false.

   “This facility didn’t close, it’s still producing most of the flu vaccine for Canada on an annual basis,” Lucas said during a recent telephone interview.

   “I’ve been very concerned and frankly upset about the lies that are coming from the federal government about this whole (COVID vaccine) file,” says Lucas, who was integral to the production and distribution of the Canadian vaccine for the H1N1 pandemic in 2009. All of the vaccine for that outbreak was produced in the GSK factory in Quebec City.

   “Trudeau has badly botched Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine procurement,” states Lucas.

   “First, he blamed Harper for his own failings. Then he blamed Mulroney and then he blamed the provinces. Then he actually turned on his own vaccine task force. He blamed them for about a day or two. Then he blamed the companies — Pfizer for delaying the delivery of its vaccines in January,” explains Lucas.

   “So, you know it’s been a blame game from their end, and he’s got, you know, 50 per cent support of the population in Ontario, so that’s absolutely astonishing to me,” says Lucas, “because people are dying because of his government botching this so badly.”

   Canada is at the back of the line in the industrialized world and is even behind some developing countries because Trudeau’s government signed a deal with CanSino Biologics and the Chinese military to develop a COVID-19 vaccine in partnership with the Canadian Centre for Vaccinology at Dalhousie University in Halifax. Given the toxic state of Canada-China relations and the propensity of China to steal intellectual property and break deals, it was a bizarre partnership.

   On May 16, 2020, Trudeau announced that the federal department of health had entered into a deal with CanSino. According to documents obtained by Calgary Conservative MP and Opposition Health Critic Michelle Rempel Garner, three days later the government learned the deal fell apart.

   Despite knowing on May 19 that China was breaking its deal with Canada, the Trudeau government waited until the end of August to enter into vaccine contracts with Pfizer, far behind other countries. On July 16, Trudeau pretended that the partnership with China was still a go.

   According to Our World in Data, as of March 17, Canada ranks 51st in terms of the percentage of citizens (1.62 per cent) who have been vaccinated with at least one shot against COVID-19 — well behind Israel (48.68 per cent), Chile (13.22 per cent), the U.S. (12.18 per cent) and even Morocco (5.8 per cent).

   Lucas says not only did Mulroney not destroy the innovative pharmaceutical industry in Canada, he has really been its only champion by bringing in Bill C-22 in 1987 and later Bill C-91 in 1992.

   That legislation promoted intellectual property by protecting drug patents for up to 20 years, which led to billions of dollars of investment, research and development to flood into Canada, says Lucas.

   So vital were the Mulroney government’s regulatory changes in creating a modern and viable innovative Canadian pharmaceutical industry, that in 2007 he was awarded the Health Research Foundation’s Medal of Honour — placing him in the distinguished company of Nobel laureate Dr. Charles Best, co-discoverer of insulin; Sir Alexander Fleming, discoverer of penicillin; Dr. Wilder Penfield, founder of the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University; and other R&D heavy hitters.

   Back in 1968, explains Lucas, then prime minister Pierre Trudeau got rid of patents for pharmaceuticals in Canada, which led to the decline of the innovative pharmaceutical industry in Canada and caused the growth of the generic pharmaceutical industry, “which was in the pockets of the federal Liberal party” and led to Canada having the highest generic drug prices in the OECD.

  “The Liberal party was always very opposed to the innovative pharmaceutical industry and Mulroney was really the guy who tried to turn it around, and he did, but the Liberals came back in with (prime minister Jean) Chretien (in 1993) and we were back in the Dark Ages,” explains Lucas, who says he can speak openly because he retired in 2012.

   He says, “Harper improved things by passing new data protection laws, which helped the industry in terms of intellectual property protection.

   “Now this Trudeau government’s come in and I mean, they’ve been anti-, anti-, anti-innovative pharmaceutical industry,” says Lucas.

   When Mulroney ushered in “Canada’s golden age for bio-technology in Canada,” he brought in the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board, (PMPRB), which ensured there was a balanced ceiling to what companies could charge for their new medicines to protect consumers but also to encourage more research and development.

   Lucas says Trudeau’s government appears poised to put the final nail in the coffin of the innovative industry by making amendments to the PMPRB’s Patented Medicines Regulation, which has been delayed twice, and is now expected to come into effect on July 1.

   “This law may be the point of no return for Canada and the innovative pharmaceutical industry,” concludes Lucas. “I hate to say that, but it could very well be the last straw in the relationship between the innovative industry and this country.”

   Pamela Fralick, president of Innovative Medicines Canada, says as the industry’s representative in Canada, they have tried to get the ear of the federal government, to no avail.

   “The cost containment measures in these new regulations are so extreme, as third-party assessments have determined them to be, it really is going to put Canadians at a huge disadvantage for gaining access to the most innovative drugs that are out there,” says Fralick, who was the president and CEO of the Canadian Cancer Society before joining IMC.

   “This year alone, 39 new medications — for the treatment of cancer, Parkinson’s, and HIV, to name a few — have not been submitted to Health Canada for approval due to the uncertainty created by this proposed policy change,” she adds.

   “It takes on average about $2.5 billion to bring a product to market and usually 10 to 15 years, so it’s a lot of time and a lot of risk,” she explains.

   “Most of the research and the products these companies produce never make it, so when you make something that does, you have that 20 years of patent protection to bring it to market and recoup your investment.”

   When was the last time, asked Fralick, that the generic pharmaceutical industry created a new vaccine? “Of course it doesn’t happen. That’s an oxymoron. They don’t do innovative work, so if you want innovation — vaccines for COVID-19, for example — you need to have the innovative pharmaceutical world being very functional and vibrant.”

   Thankfully, many other countries are not so antagonistic to the industry or the world would be stuck in COVID-19 lockdowns for years to come.

   “Our concerns about the federal government’s new regulations is that they go far too far in cost containment and they don’t respect or I guess even accept that maybe Canada should want these companies to invest in this country. We already do invest a lot, by the way, but we could compete globally for a lot more investment if we had an environment that was a little bit more favourable to the innovative business,” said Fralick, adding that the industry employs 30,000 Canadians in high-paying jobs and contributes $19 billion to the Canadian economy.

   She says over a time span of two years, 30 global CEOs from multinational pharmaceutical companies have written to Trudeau four times seeking a meeting — from February 2018 to February 2020 — just weeks before COVID-19 started to wreak havoc on countries outside of China where it originated.

   “Not only didn’t they get a meeting, the prime minister never even responded. For the first letter, what we got back was an unsigned memo from the correspondence unit of the strategic policy branch of Health Canada,” says Fralick. For the other three letters, Trudeau’s office never responded at all, neither did his health minister.

   Is it any wonder Trudeau was so hesitant to pick up the phone and call Pfizer’s CEO, Albert Bourla, when shipments of its COVID-19 vaccine were delayed in January as the company expanded the capacity of its plant in Belgium?

   “So, whether it’s Pierre Trudeau, or Justin Trudeau or whether it’s Jean Chretien, they just have not been open to the idea of a vibrant life sciences sector,” says Fralick, and that affects the entire “ecosystem” of the sector, from little startups, like Calgary’s Providence Therapeutics or Vancouver’s AbCellera.

   One current pharmaceutical executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said: “Every time Trudeau tries to blame Mulroney for his own government’s failures in procuring COVID vaccines in a timely manner, my colleagues and I all think, ‘Can you believe this guy? He can say white is black and black is white and no one challenges him.”

  Lucas says you’d think Trudeau and his ministers would have learned about the importance of the innovative pharmaceutical industry as a result of this pandemic.

  “There’s no relationship between Trudeau’s government and the industry. It’s worse than non-existent — it’s hostile as a result of the federal government’s attitude,” says Lucas.

   So, not only are Canadians at the back of the line for life-saving and economy-boosting vaccines, but Trudeau’s hostility to the life-sciences industry is also killing off our potential of fighting off future pandemics and building a lucrative industry at the same time that can help the whole world.

  Too bad there’s no vaccine to inoculate us all against this kind of government incompetence."

-

  We have an old and effective vaccine (of sorts): it's called voting. We have the chance to boost this inoculation every 4 years or so.

   We need to vote out the incompetent and dangerous clowns such as Justin Trudeau, Chris Bittle, Vance Badawey, and the rest of their negligent Liberal brigade. That's the only way to stop the infection of Liberal incompetence. 

  The Liberal-besotted Borg-like Niagara press (the propaganda machine 'Torstar / Niagara dailies') will never ask Bittle or Badawey whether they too believe their Dear Leader's delusion that their collective Liberal incompetence was caused by Mulroney. We will go through an entire election where the Bittle/Badawey bullshi!t is buried. "

*

Into 2024, Canadians continue to suffer under the unbelievable incompetence of Trudeau's Liberals, who are aided and abetted by the scummy NDP.  We see the Liberal's ArriveCan scandal boiling over (National Post, Feb.15, 2024, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BorglL-7coY) and we see also that Turdo's Liberal scammers are now being sued for their covid-mask escapades (Global News, Feb. 14, 2024, see https://globalnews.ca/news/10295442/covid-protective-equipment-makers-lawsuit-canada/)

Remember how the Trudeau-loving-press happily pushed a bizarre covid lie that Canada - under Trudeau - was running out of PPE during the covid outbreak, and that Trump 'banned mask exports to Canada'??!?

 Now, in 2024, we finally get to hear what the incompetent, negligent Liberals actually did, as far as the PPE manufacturers are concerned. That a story such as this would appear in the wake of the covid crisis is NOT unexpected. The fallout from Trudeau's Liberal covid disaster is monstrous.

We saw clearly that Trudeau and his Liberal lapdog-press were lying, manufacturing a fantastic fable that Trump was to blame for the mask shortage in Canada - and that Turdo was a hero who stood up against Trump. This hogwash was spread far and wide by the Canadian press, in order to deflect our attention from how incompetent Trudeau's Liberals were in maintaining Canada's PPE supply. Trump had nothing to do with it. Who did? Well, ask the Badabittle Boys.
