Yellow Vests of Canada

Sir John Bell has been on a roll recently, letting lots of beans spill. Of course, these folks never really slip up, it is the lesser majick of their secret societies to reveal themselves like this. There are no accidents.

This is an interview from Novemeber, 2020, where Bell is cut off while trying to explain how vaccines will be used in depopulation. Depopulation is one of the globalists’ goals. Listen at the 1:45 mark when the Oxford professor says that the vaccines are unlikely to sterilize the entire population.

Depopulation by any means is the goal of these globalists. They are using the Covid-19 as their cover story. Lies, deceptions and betrayals from this “Knight of the Science Table”. It may work on only 60% – 70% of the population! Not the perfect “Herd Sterility” that Bell desires.

We covered Bell’s pharmaceutical pimping background here, VIDEO: AstraZeneca Developer Blasts Canada’s Vaccine Approach, Wants His Vax “whack[ed] in arms” immediately, where we established his management of both the research and the development of pharmaceuticals, specifically AstraZeneca through Wellcome Trust.

What’s REALLY weird about Wellcome Trust, they have been around since 1936, but their website starts when COVID19 started, 2020.

Here is Wellcome’s History, it was bought by Galaxo Smith.

Started as a pharmaceutical company now a trust fund. But here is the thing, they were the first company to produce the HIV antivirals. We have been hearing about HIV strains in relation to COVID since the first reports from Wuhan, to studies out of major universities. A pattern is emerging.

Now they fund drug research, but call themselves a foundation at arms length.

Galaxo produces Sanofi vaccine. They got $925 million from Trudeau to produce this vaccine in Canada.

Galaxo IS Wellcome Trust out of the UK. Same old same old. Wellcome IS JOHN BELL. He runs the research.

This is Wellcome’s old webpage. They went out of their way to reroute everything to their 2020 page.

They were involved in… POPULATION RESEARCH!

Population research for the UK version of the Canadian Privy Council Policy Research Initiative (PRI), known as Policy Research In Science and Medicine (PRISM). They are always studying us. When Canada started PRI here they were doing the same all over the world!

In 1994, Wellcome Trust was a big part of International Conference on Population and Development.

The first conference originated in 1927, organized by the League of Nations and Eugenicist Margaret Sanger. Planned Parenthood founder and birth control guru. A reminder that Planned Parenthood helped about 50% of African America pregnancies since Roe vs Wade.

The conference was organized with funds donated from the Rockefeller Foundation. Sir. Bernard Mallet, a member of the Eugenics Society, presided over the World Population Conference. Mallet was also the private secretary to Arthur Balfour who wrote the Balfour Declaration. It appears that the origins of the NWO depopulation agenda stared at this 1927 meeting.

The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British government in 1917 during the First World War announcing support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine. The declaration was contained in a letter dated 2 November 1917 from the United Kingdom’s Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland.

Wellcome and Sangster together. No wonder they changed their web presence. Wellcome to the death panels.

Introducing the Wellcome Sanger Institute…

All the vaccine companies will eventually lead to depopulation meetings. ALL OF THEM!

Sir John Bell has his hands in every aspect of of the UK and global pharmaceutical establishment, with very special attention to virology and inoculations. When he says that vaccines will sterilize large percentages of the population, he’s speaking from a place of absolute authority. Bell is not a pharma whore, he’s a pharma pimp.

If Bell is talking about vaccines sterilizing people, he’s talking about population control, and he is one to know.

In the Monday, May 17, 2021 COVID19 update, pharma whore and enemy of freedom, Robert Strang seemingly eliminated parental rights over governments ability to vaccinate children:

Lunatic Strang continued; “My challenge to those younger age groups is to meet that minimum 85 target,” he says. “That is the way, if you want to have a more open summer, if you want to socialize, if your want to go to concerts, if you want to travel, so what you can do to make that happen by getting vaccinated.” This is medical coercion like nothing i’ve seen before.

Strang is a real life Vicar of Nibbleswicke.

Nova Scotia Health has a link to Parental Consent.

But the link is broken. Are the forms no longer available/required?

This is the pamphlet the government provides parents.

The cover says to complete and sign the immunization consent form, but there is not one.

Why are they harming are most vulnerable with vaccines when science has already established Covid infection is not problematic in our youth? If they vaccinated 12 and up and they all get sick… you will end up with a population of just children 12 and under… that you can mold any way you want.

That in ten years those that survive don’t really know any better… you get the NWO society you want.

Could the NWO goal be sterilization? Sterilization as a means of population control? Maybe Sir John Bell has the answer?

Sir John Bell, the Oxford University Regius Professor of Medicine, has made quite a splash in Canada this last week when he appeared on Evan Solomon’s ‘CTV Question Period’. In this clip going around social media, Bell stated the “whole Canadian approach to vaccines generally … is acting on a lot of hearsay not facts”.

However, listening to the entire interview, there are many items worth noting…

Bell begins the interview by saying it is not his place to comment on Canada’s vaccine rollout, but spends 8 minutes doing just that. He claims Canada has left itself open disaster, says that the Indian strain will “rip through” the country.

The most shocking thing Bell said they’ve studied combining all the vaccines in a large study at Oxford, and the reactions are severe. “not viable””reactogenicity is very severe”. This is currently the only study on the subject of combining vaccines and the results are disastrous. Interesting none of the nations suggesting combining vaccines is viable have not mentioned this study. A step Canadian health officials are strongly suggesting.

Bell claims the AstraZeneca vaccine is a viral vax, while Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and Moderna are producing mRNA vax. But don’t worry, Bell says those competing vaccines are “great”.

But in the end, Bell really makes the case for his AstraZeneca vaccine. “if [Canada] have 75 million doses of AZ kicking around, and you can quickly whack them into arms, do it. like, come on.” “if you have a third dose of AZ, it’s best immunity available”

John Bell has been on a roll recently, letting lots of beans spill. Of course, these folks never really slip up, it is the lesser majick of their secret societies to reveal themselves like this. There are no accidents.

Who Is Sir John Bell?

Eugenicist Sir John Bell studied medicine on a Rhodes Scholarship. That speaks volumes. Rhodes Scholars are Rothschild protege’s.

SIR John Irving Bell got his knighthood in 2008 for his service in medicine. Yes, knight of the science table.

Professor Sir John Irving Bell has been made the first Canadian Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire.

Bell was one of the founders of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics at Oxford University, where he is Regis Professor of Medicine. It was founded by the Wellcome Trust.

They create the crisis then provide the solution.

“It has been reported that the Wellcome Trust has billions of investments on companies which contribute to the problems the philanthropy wants to solve. Also in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been revealed that the trust has investments with pharmaceutical companies, which means it should gain financially from the pandemic.”

“Wellcome didn’t invest directly in Varo. But according to a trove of confidential documents known as the Paradise Papers, many of them leaked from a law firm that helped manage such deals, Wellcome committed $50 million to an offshore investment fund, Carlyle International Energy Partners, based in the Cayman Islands. That fund, in turn, owns a stake in the energy firm. (Wellcome declined to give details on its offshore holdings.)”

Wellcome Trust is one of the larges research investment foundations in the world right up there with Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Wellcome was included in the paradise Papers, an elaborate money laundering scheme!

“Wellcome committed more than $926 million of its holdings to at least 57 tax haven funds, documents from the Paradise Papers indicate. Other offshore investments were shown in the foundation’s tax returns. (Totals could not be determined but in 2007, Wellcome’s offshore holdings were so extensive that Appleby ranked the foundation as its 14th largest client.) In a statement to Science, Wellcome officials declined to discuss the size or placement of its assets in offshore accounts, saying they “do not collect or keep” data relating to tax domicile.”

Sir John is a paid lackey for biggest pharma.

“An increasingly clear feature of the covid-19 pandemic is that the public health response is being driven not only by governments and multilateral institutions, such as the World Health Organization, but also by a welter of public-private partnerships involving drug companies and private foundations. One leading voice to emerge is the Wellcome Trust, one of the world’s top funders of health research, whose sprawling charitable activities in the pandemic include co-leading a WHO programme to support new covid-19 therapeutics.” And Wellcome Trust stands to gain financially as well.

Bell is a board member of the UK Biobank Ltd where they are collecting human genetics. This is interesting since they deleted his bio that contained this information.

Bell is a trustee with Rhodes Trust.

“GeneWatch UK, a pressure group that claims to promote the responsible use of genetic information, asserted that the complexity of the programme could result in the finding of “false links between genes and disease”, and expressed concern that the genetic information from patients could be patented for commercial purposes.”

Wellcome Trust involved in development of AstraZeneca.

Wellcome Trust was also involved in funding.

Wellcome declined to comment on any presumed shareholding in AstraZeneca.

Wellcome Trust Foundations basically funds Wellcome Trust Research! There is no bias there…. not at all!!!

Both Gates Foundation and Wellcome Trust are heavily invested in oil, oh the irony there! The foundations that campaign for sustainability and “let’s end global warming” invest IN oil & gas!

Bell’s lab came under fire for misusing African DNA. The thing with Wellcome and the African DNA data, Thermofisher Scientific provided funding. Owned by Rothschild.

Here we learn he chairs the Global Health Scientific advisory board of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he is a Trustee of the Rhodes Trust, and he attended the 2013 Bilderberg Group conference.

Bell is chairman of Immunocore, where Bill & Melinda Gates foundation are investors.

Bell also has shares in Roche that did the covid testing in the UK.

Bell is DIRECTOR of a company called Genentech Inc, largely owned by Roche Pharmaceticals.

Bell serves on the Genentech Board in San Francisco, and formerly served on the scientific advisory board of AstraZeneca (1997–2000). He was on AstraZeneca board, but he is director of Genentec which is owned by Roche, and Roche is partnered with MODERNA!

Bell has his hands in every pot really. He is invested in Roche and was on the Scientific Advisory Board for AstraZeneca from 1997 to 2000 and is a non-executive director of Roche AG (since 2001) and of Genentech (since 2009).

Bell is the complete package, and he was only trashing Canada because we are costing him. He was already dealing with EU punishing AZ as retaliation for leaving.

Back we go with the pharmaceutical lobbying in Ontario. This time, it’s AstraZeneca that is inappropriately using its political influence in order to peddle their drugs. Ever wonder why Ford insists on maintaining martial law until everyone is vaccinated? Look at who he’s been talking to.

The Ontario Lobbying Registry is open to the public. Anyone can search it, and for any reason. It’s particularly useful in determining who politicians have been talking to, on whose behalf, and on what subject matter. It really can be a gold mine if used properly.

As a war room operative she helped elect Doug Ford as Premier of Ontario. As a Chief of Staff in Premier Ford’s government, Sarah built an impressive network of peers, and successfully managed communications on a number of contentious files. If you need something at Queen’s Park, Sarah knows who to talk to and how to get it done.

Meet Sarah Letersky. She helped get Doug Ford elected into office in 2018, and became his Chief of Staff. Now, she works with Rubicon Strategy. One of her clients is AstraZeneca, who wants to sell their product here.

We have seen this pattern before with Pfizer and Emergent BioSolutions. It’s also been happening in British Columbia and Nova Scotia.

The other lobbyist, Patrick Harris, spent time working for Federal politicians, which is interesting. Given the crossover between Ontario and Ottawa, he likely has plenty of connections. And the rabbit hole goes deeper.

Jan O’Driscoll worked for Harper, then was a Chief of Staff for Ford, and contributed to his 2018 election. Kory Teneycke was Communications Director for Harper, and helped Ford get elected. Another honourable mention at Rubicon Strategy is Christine Simundson. She also claims credit for helping to make Ford Ontario Premier in June 2018. She claims to have gotten 17 Candidates elected to Parliament.

With years of experience leading tactical communications and tough policy files, Jan is a straight shooter that gets the job done. He’s held senior leadership roles in the private sector as well as with several federal cabinet ministers in Harper’s government. Most recently, Jan served as Chief of Staff in several key ministries in Premier Ford’s government where he drove transformational initiatives to get wins for the people of Ontario.

With two decades in public affairs, Kory has served as the Director of Communications to the Prime Minister of Canada, managed the cable news channel “Sun News”, and served as Executive Director of the Renewable Fuels Association. Kory was the manager of the 2018 campaign that saw Doug Ford become Premier of Ontario, and is now on a leave of absence to manage the 2022 campaign for the Ontario PC Party.

Christine’s experience in the legal profession coupled with her experience in marketing and promotions gives her an edge when it comes to grassroots activism. Before joining Rubicon, Christine was active in the Ontario PC Party War Room during the 2018 Provincial election. Christine’s guidance elected 17 of the PC MPPs in Peel Region, Halton, Toronto and Northern Ontario. Christine was the PC Party Organizer for Peel Region and played a senior role in organizing the PC Leadership race of 2018.

Fadi has invested a decade in politics. He’s worked across all three levels of government. He served as senior advisor to the Interim Leader of the Ontario Liberal Party and has significant experience in public and stakeholder relations. He’s won campaigns and delivered results for Premiers, and top-level public policy leaders. Fadi doesn’t stop till the job is done and done well.

Of course, if Ford hadn’t been elected in 2018, Fadi El Masry may have been sent instead. He’s got plenty of ties to the Ontario Liberal Party, and would’ve used that.

Also, being a mouthpiece for political candidates doesn’t stop with Ontario. Two other Rubicon employees, Emrys Graefe and Cole Hogan, also claim to have been involved in making Jason Kenney the Premier of Alberta.

Spearheading digital for Doug Ford’s leadership campaign, Emrys managed the digital marketing that won the Ontario PCs a majority government in 2018 and then did the same for the UCP in Alberta, electing Jason Kenney as Premier. Having worked in politics for a decade, Emrys’ experience shows when it comes to leveraging public opinion to achieve specific outcomes.

Having played a leading role in the merging of Alberta’s Wildrose and Progressive Conservative parties, Cole is a highly talented communications professional. Cole is responsible for some of the most innovative advertisements seen in Canadian politics and played a key role in electing Doug Ford as Premier of Ontario and Jason Kenney as Premier of Alberta.

It has to be asked: does being a “handler” for a political candidate stop once that person is elected? Or are there favours that need to be paid back. In all honesty, it appears that all politicians are just actors being spoon fed a script by interested parties.

If you didn’t have enough reason to NOT trust the Canadian news, consider that Don Newman (who claimed to be a journalist), is the Executive Vice President of Rubicon. Did he ever call out this sort of thing when he gave his nightly broadcast?

In fairness, lobbying or “public relations” is just part of what the group does. They are also involved in the defense industry. However, that will be for another time.

UPDATE TO ARTICLE

Shortly after publication, extra data was added to the Registry.

A serious question: when someone helps install a politician into a position of power, and then becomes a lobbyist, are any “favours” then expected of said politician?

This specifically addresses 2 of them. One is Erin O’Toole, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, and Leader of the Official Opposition. The other is Doug Ford, Leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, and Premier of Ontario.

Both men are in their respective positions as a result of others who then went on to become lobbyists for Pfizer. Both support the mass vaccination agenda, and support lockdowns and martial law of society.

Last month, 4 lobbyists from Pfizer tried to push for vaccine sales on behalf of their client. This is according to records from the Ontario Lobbying Registry. Let’s take a look into who these people actually are.

1. Kenzie McKeegan

Kenzie supports clients with government relations, policy development, research, and communication. Prior to joining Loyalist, Kenzie worked in the University of Toronto Government Relations Office where she built relationships at all levels of government, institutional partners, and external stakeholders.

Before working at the University of Toronto, Kenzie served in various Ontario Ministries including the offices of the Deputy Premier, the Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development, the President of the Treasury Board, the Minister Responsible for Digital Government and the Minister Responsible for Small Business.

During her years in government, Kenzie supported goals and priorities of Cabinet Ministers through strategic planning and stakeholder management, providing analysis and advice.

For a bit of variety, McKeegan was actually a party operative when Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals were still in power in Ontario. Interesting that by sending lobbyists from different parties, it ensures that there will always be bipartisan support for whatever is going on.

As a bit of a side note: she’s also currently lobbying Ottawa on behalf of Apotex, trying to get more generic drugs onto the market.

2. Dan Mader

Prior to founding Loyalist, Dan served as a Senior Vice President at National Public Relations. He draws on his knowledge of policy, communications, and strategy to help Loyalist Public Affairs clients succeed in an increasingly regulated world where public opinion and the political process are critical.

Dan worked in the federal government, where he led the development of policy in several departments including Environment, Transport, Infrastructure, and the Treasury Board and later served as Chief of Staff to the minister responsible for defence procurement. Dan also served as Deputy Campaign Manager (Policy) on Erin O’Toole’s successful campaign to lead the Conservative Party of Canada.

During his twenty years of activism for the Ontario PC Party, Dan has served as Deputy Director of Communications for the 2014 general election campaign and as a member of the scripting team on the 2018 campaign.

Dan began his career designing and developing enterprise software, then worked as a management consultant and as an executive at a technology company. Before joining NATIONAL, Dan worked as a Senior Consultant at a Toronto-based public affairs strategy consultancy.

Dan is an active volunteer with the Writer’s Trust of Canada, having recently co-chaired the charity’s Ottawa dinner, Politics and the Pen. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Jewish National Fund of Canada and the Government Relations Institute of Canada (GRIC).

Mader wasn’t just with O’Toole in the 2020 race. He was also one of his handlers in his failed 2016/2017 run, eventually losing to Andrew Scheer. Mader’s boss was Campaign Chair Walied Soliman, who is a Director at Sick Kids Hospital Toronto.

Mader also lobbied Ford in November 2019, on behalf of Pfizer.

3. Jill Wilson

Jill represents clients across a wide range of sectors, from critical infrastructure such as nuclear energy, land development, and transportation to high-profile issues like cannabis, alcohol, and gaming.

Jill focuses on government and stakeholder relations, policy development, detailed research, and communication support.

Jill worked with federal, provincial, and municipal governments for over ten years. She understands how to make change in government, identifying those who make decisions and helping them to understand how her clients’ interests align with those of the public and the government.

Before joining Loyalist, Jill worked at a national government relations and strategic communication firm.

Jill served as a political advisor in Stephen Harper’s government and has also spent time in the not-for-profit sector with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind.

Wilson is another one who spent a long time in the Government of Stephen Harper, albeit in several different roles. Surely, she has connection to convince “Conservatives” not to ask too many questions about the experimental drugs Pfizer wants to sell to the public. Most likely, she knows a lot of the same people that Erin O’Toole and his staff know.

4. Chris Frogatt

Prior to founding Loyalist Public Affairs, Chris served as the Managing Partner for the Ottawa office of National Public Relations for eight years.

In government, Chris served as Chief of Staff to the Hon. John Baird in a variety of ministries including Treasury Board, Environment, Transportation, Infrastructure and Communities. He also served as senior advisor to the Minister of Transportation and the Attorney General in Ontario, and a senior advisor to Canada’s former Leader of the Opposition, Preston Manning.

During his time in the governments of Canada and Ontario, Chris led the development and execution of many policy and communication strategies for various complex public policy files. In 2012, Chris received Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee Medal as a recognition of his commitment to his community and to Canada.

In 2018, Chris provided strategic counsel to Doug Ford during his successful bid for the leadership of the Ontario PC Party. He then served as Vice-Chair for the Ontario PC Party’s 2018 election campaign where the PCs won their first election in almost twenty years and Doug Ford was elected Ontario’s 26th Premier. At the request of then Premier-elect, Doug Ford, Chris chaired the transition team that helped shape the foundation for the new Government of Ontario.

Chris is a graduate of Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario where he received a B.A. in Political Science and History. For over six years, he served as a member of the Steering Committee of the Clayton H. Riddell Graduate Program in Political Management at Carleton University and as a former Fellow of the Program, he provided lectures on the Canadian political process.

Froggatt appears to have left his official roles with the Conservative Party of Canada before Erin O’Toole was elected to Parliament. Nonetheless, he likely has many connections that cross over. Otherwise, what would even be the point of hiring him in the first place? He claims to have been with Doug Ford pretty much every step of the way of putting him into power in June 2018.

In an interesting twist to all this, Erin O’Toole was working for Christine Elliott (now the Health Minister), when she was running for the Ontario Progress Conservative leadership. She ultimately lost.

Another Loyalist operative, Zahra Sultani, worked as a Project Manager at Ontario Progressive Conservative Party Headquarters and Advisor to Ontario Cabinet Minister Rod Phillips.

What do you think? Should political handlers be allowed to get into lobbying, and then try to peddle on those very same politicians? Or does this just invite corruption?

Few things are as disgusting as when lobbying and political cronyism cross paths. This is going to focus on Doug Ford, and his operatives working for drug companies. Also, see this piece on Bonnie Henry’s Communications Chief.

The lobbying firm relevant here is Counsel Public Affairs. Its members are former (and current) political hacks who use their connections to push for financial benefits for their clients. While it’s mandatory to disclose such things, it’s rarely in the public interest.

Take Jessica Georgakopoulos, who went (almost overnight) from being a staffer for Doug Ford, to becoming a mouthpiece for GlaxoSmithKline.

Jessica Georgakopoulos brings over a dozen years of strategic thinking, political insights and communications expertise. She has extensive experience both in the public and private sectors in strategy development, media relations, crisis communications and advocacy campaigns.

Immediately prior to joining Counsel, Jessica served as the Director of Strategic Communications for the Premier of Ontario where she advised on the widely praised communications of Ontario’s COVID-19 response and managed the integration of government-wide communications strategies during the pandemic.

Jessica has also served the Ford Government as the Chief of Staff to the Minister of Long-Term Care, leading the development of the government’s modernization plan for building long-term care homes. Jessica also worked as Director of Communications for Ontario’s Minister of Government and Consumer Services.

Jess brings to Counsel a strong network across Canada’s political and business media forged through her work as the Director of Communications at the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, her five years in public relations and crisis communication consulting, and serving as Press Secretary and Issues Manager to two Federal Cabinet Ministers within the Harper Government. During her time as a consultant, Jessica worked on high-profile advocacy campaigns and provided crisis communications support for leading organizations.

Immediately prior to joining Counsel Public Affairs, Georgakopoulos worked as Communications Director for Doug Ford, related directly for his Covid-19 public strategies. She now is a lobbyist for pharmaceutical companies like GSK, pushing for vaccines. And in case there is any confusion about the content of the lobbying, the Ontario Registry itself lists the content.

Q: Describe your lobbying goal(s) in detail. What are you attempting to influence or accomplish as a result of your communications with Ontario public office holders?

A: Engage with provincial government decision-makers to educate and raise awareness about two new COVID-19 therapeutic treatments under development by GSK (Vir-7831 and Otilimab), and encourage Ontario to actively collaborate with the federal government to expedite procurement options, and pursue related implementation matters, to secure an appropriate allocation of such medicines to potentially make them available to Canadian patients, prescribers and hospitals, pending approvals by Health Canada.

In the span of a month, Georgakopoulos went from working with Ford’s Government on its “pandemic” response, to trying to convince them to buy drugs related to that response. Does anyone see a problem with any of this?

For more context, both GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer announced they would launch a joint consumer health care venture. Considering that Pfizer is one of the companies with an interim authorized (not approved) vaccine on the market, lobbying for GSK could be seen as helping them. Again, consider the timing of Georgakopoulos’ departure from the Ford Government.

Brad Lavigne and Jean-Marc Prevost were mentioned in the previous piece, along with their ties to Emergent BioSolutions, which makes AstraZeneca, and coziness with Bonnie Henry and Adrian Dix.

As for cronyism and conflicts of interest within Counsel Public Affairs, hold on. It’s about to get much, much worse.

Caroline Pinto is also listed as a GSK lobbyist. She is co-Founder of Counsel Public Affairs, and was “policy advisor to the Attorney General of Ontario and Minister Responsible for Native Affairs under the Mike Harris government from 1995 to 1998”. Interesting how her ties extend back to the previous ONPC Government.

Devan Sommerville was a policy advisor in the Ontario Liberal Governments of Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne. Perhaps if Ford gets voted out, Devan will be called in to do the influence peddling.

Jaskiran Shoker was an intern in the Ontario Legislature at the tail end of Kathleen Wynne’s run as Premier. She then immediately gets into consulting work with Counsel Public Affairs. That must have been quite some educational experience.

Shanice Scott worked in the Premier’s Office back when it was run by Kathleen Wynne. Another Liberal Party insider.

Of course, the lobbying isn’t limited to Ontario. Counsel Public Affairs also lobbied the Alberta Government, trying to push a nasal spray on behalf of Emergent BiolSolutions. As stated earlier, this company is manufacturing AstraZeneca. They’ve hit Saskatchewan as well.

Yes, this firm has lobbied Federally too

To be clear, this isn’t all the lobbying that Counsel Public Affairs does, or even all the pharma lobbying. The point is that this organization is filled with partisan operatives, very connected, and are advocating for it. Jessica Georgakopoulos is a particularly aggregious case, but far from the only one. Parliaments, particularly in Ontario, are compromised by this group.

Also check this previous article from Canuck Law, and this from The Breaker. Both will provide further background into the lobbying issue.
