I want to follow up on my search for relevant petitions to the Ontario legislature, continuing from Part 2 of my series and working backwards in time from the present using this page and this one:

I noticed calls from legislators for dictatorial vaccine mandates as late as December 9, 2021.

There was strong opposition from Roman Baber on the same day on two topics. Read carefully what he says. For example:

Surgery delay deaths

Mr. Roman Baber: Point of order.

The Speaker (Hon. Ted Arnott): The member for York Centre has a point of order.

Mr. Roman Baber: I seek the House’s unanimous consent to observe a moment of silence for the 4,000 Canadians that, according to the Canadian Medical Association, have lost their lives because their surgeries were delayed.

The Speaker (Hon. Ted Arnott): The member for York Centre is seeking the unanimous consent of the House for a moment’s silence in memory of the Canadians who have lost their lives because their surgeries have been delayed. Agreed? Agreed.

Members will please rise.

The House observed a moment’s silence.

The Speaker (Hon. Ted Arnott): Thank you very much. Members may take their seats.

Mr. Roman Baber: Point of order.

The Speaker (Hon. Ted Arnott): The member for York Centre has a point of order.

Mr. Roman Baber: Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to observe a moment of silence for the more than 1,000 Ontarians who lost their lives last year due to an increase in deaths from overdoses.

The Speaker (Hon. Ted Arnott): Government House leader.

Hon. Paul Calandra: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. While I do appreciate what the member is trying to do, there will be many opportunities for us to continue to debate these things and to talk about all of the things that we can do to ensure that people who are suffering from overdoses, people who are struggling with COVID—and the things that we, as a Legislature, want to accomplish.

So in that vein, I know the member opposite may have a number of these points of order, but just to inform the House, I will be saying no to those. I know that’s what the member wants. I think it’s time that we get into question period, sir, but that in no way diminishes how a vast majority of this Legislature feels on the issues that the member is raising. There are more appropriate ways to deal with that, Mr. Speaker.

I want the people who are impacted by these decisions to know that all of the members of this Legislature understand how important these issues are and that we will not allow points of order like those from the member opposite and what he is trying to do here today to distract all of us in what it is that we want to accomplish on their behalf and on behalf of the province of Ontario.

Mr. Roman Baber: Speaker?

The Speaker (Hon. Ted Arnott): On the same point of order?

Mr. Roman Baber: I don’t believe that—

The Speaker (Hon. Ted Arnott): Is it on the same point of order?

Mr. Roman Baber: Yes. I don’t believe that the response by the government House leader is appropriate. I’m perfectly within my rights to seek a point of order and to seek unanimous consent.

We sought unanimous consent for the victims of COVID-19 who passed away in the last month. That was agreed. We sought unanimous consent to recognize the folks who passed away from surgery delays. That was granted. I sought unanimous consent to recognize the folks who died from an increase in overdoses.

If the government House leader does not wish to observe a moment of silence for those because of cancer screenings missed, that’s entirely within his rights, but he cannot editorialize. I ask the Speaker to put the question again.

The Speaker (Hon. Ted Arnott): The member for York Centre is seeking the unanimous consent of the House for another moment of silence, this time in memory of the victims of drug overdoses. Agreed? I heard a no.

COVID-19 response

Mr. Roman Baber: Like the saying goes, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” It’s the holiday season, but Ontarians got fooled again because the government is about to steal Christmas.

For more than a year, they were telling us that vaccination is the best and sure way out of the pandemic. But now, 90% of us are vaccinated, but we’re still on the naughty list, and public health won’t leave us alone. Three health units are already back in restrictions. Windsor-Essex and Sudbury are back in restrictions. Kingston FLA—with over 92% first dosed, one of the highest rates in the world—brought restrictions back. Of course, the government pretends that it has nothing to do with it. It’s the local health unit—sure.

Speaker, 90% of us are vaccinated. If we trust the science and the vaccine is safe and effective, then why the masks? Why the testing, the tracing, the isolation, the apps on our phones?

Of course, yesterday, Pfizer said that we need a fourth shot against the Omicron variant. Don’t act surprised.

Almost all of us are vaccinated. For those that are unvaccinated, nothing can be done. It’s their choice and almost all of them, given their age and profile, are highly unlikely to experience a bad outcome. The best thing the government can do for Christmas is to leave us alone. Remember the Britney Spears video? It’s back in the news. “Leave Britney alone”? Leave Ontarians alone. Leave us alone. It’s the best thing you can do for our health.

My Thoughts:

We really need to reach out to everyone possible and share information about the harm being done and the laws being broken. People need to be aware of vaers.hhs.gov adverse events for example.

Education of the public is an urgent priority so that our numbers grow. Much higher numbers in terms of awareness is necessary to push back against this determined political-control agenda disguised as a health measure.

I am more hopeful after seeing recent protests taking place in Canada and the effect that these protests have had on Canadians and the rest of the world.

I think that most legislators would tend to exclude pro-rights petitions and maybe the censorship even goes further than that. It’s obvious that they are just listening to an elite and a vocal selection of the public who are on board with this set agenda.

The public could generate many more petitions and show them to MPPs even if they don’t want to take them–I think you can find a few MPPs that will, they don’t need to be in your electoral district–for example, here is my petition in Part 4 (fill out and mail it to the address mentioned).

Relevant Petitions Respecting Informed Consent and Charter Rights
This based on my search. If I missed anything, please let me know.
None yet for February, 2022 (22-24 published so far)
December, 2021: None

November, 2021:
(Rick Nicholls debates emergency orders and injections on November 23, 2021)
(Unfortunately, there was a petition in favour of vaccination mandates presented on November 4, 2021)

Found one for November 1, 2021:

Places of religious worship

Mr. Rick Nicholls: I received this particular petition from the great people of the great riding of Wellington–Halton Hills.

“To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:

“Whereas worship is critical to the lives of many Ontarians, and the gathering for worship is an essential aspect of religious faith; and

“Whereas the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms recognizes freedom of religion as fundamental, and the Supreme Court of Canada has interpreted this as including the freedom ‘to manifest religious belief by worship and practice;’ and

“Whereas both the federal and the Ontario provincial legislatures have recognized religion as a human right; and

“Whereas the social, emotional and spiritual elements of worship are significant; and

“Whereas places of worship provide many valuable social services through their members to the communities they are in, and the good work of places of worship in their communities is hindered by the inability to physically gather; and

“Whereas places of worship have been diligent in observing health and safety protocols and have not been a significant source of spread of COVID-19; and

“Whereas the safety and the well-being of religious communities are best preserved through the cooperation of religious leaders and the Ontario government;

“Therefore we, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:

“That the Legislature recognize the importance and value of worship, and to include places of worship as an essential service under the reopening Ontario act, allowing religious communities to gather for worship.”

I wholeheartedly agree with this petition, will sign it and give it to the page Zada.

So that is a petition against the blatant, continued assault on religious belief and assembly (and therefore being able to communicate with others outside of media supervision) in Ontario and worldwide by the powers that be using “public health” as the justification. I wish I could get it across to more people what has been done to us and how serious it is. However, I know that more and more people are aware now.
