Pickering councillor facing backlash for questioning Kamloops residential school narrative

City of Pickering Councillor Lisa Robinson is learning — the hard way — that in uber-woke Canada, one is forbidden from questioning certain official narratives. Or even speaking the truth if that truth might be uncomfortable or offensive when it comes to the sensibilities of certain people.

Recently, Robinson dared to venture near that political third rail that is the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in B.C. This is the site of a mass grave of 215 bodies.

Or is it?

To date, not a scintilla of forensic evidence has been provided to prove that that there is a single body buried there.

And this fact was the crux of the matter when Robinson recently posted a four-minute video entitled: “215 ‘Mass Graves’ at Kamloops: Zero Bodies Found After 5 Years — The Lie Exposed.”

Cue the outrage from the usual suspects.

This included Pickering Mayor Kevin Ashe who is now formally lodging a complaint against Robinson with the city’s integrity commissioner.

Mayor Ashe wants to see Robinson stripped of three months’ salary. Astonishingly, Robinson has already been docked a whopping 21 months’ salary. Not for uttering death threats or racial epithets, but rather, for “wrong-thought”.

And with her commentary regarding Kamloops, this over-the-top vendetta shamefully continues.

And as far as we can tell, Robinson spoke the truth.

We ventured out to Pickering just east of Toronto to interview Robinson, who feels she is yet again being unfairly maligned for no valid reason. She had plenty to say about this latest attack on her for embracing free speech, which seems to be increasingly under fire in Canada these days.

Rebel News also extended an opportunity for Mayor Ashe to come on camera. That offer was declined, although his office did provide the following statement:

“I want to acknowledge the harm caused by recent comments made by a member of Pickering City Council regarding the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation’s investigations at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School site.

“I offer my sincere apology to Indigenous community members, Survivors, families, and all those affected by these remarks. Comments that dismiss, distort, or cast doubt on the truths shared by Survivors and Indigenous communities are deeply hurtful. They undermine reconciliation, re-traumatize those carrying the legacy of residential schools, and have no place in respectful public discourse.

“The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada gathered testimony from more than 6,500 Survivors and witnesses and reviewed millions of federal records to support our education on the systemic harms, cultural genocide, and intergenerational traumas caused by residential schools. These are not matters for political speculation or denial.

“The legacy of residential schools persists in our everyday institutions, and we must hold public servants accountable to our responsibility to acknowledge our shared history, honour Survivors, and advance meaningful efforts in Truth and Reconciliation.

Quebec counsellor faces disciplinary complaint over faith-based practice

A Quebec sexologist is facing disciplinary proceedings after offering counselling services that combined professional guidance with Christian teachings, according to lawyers representing her.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms said it is supporting Maryse Gaudet-Lebrun, who was served with a formal complaint on Dec. 23, 2025.

Gaudet-Lebrun, based in Montreal, holds qualifications in sexology, social work and health sciences, and is a member of the Quebec Order of Sexologists, the body that regulates licensed practitioners in the province.

The complaint reportedly challenges videos on her website in which she discusses sexuality alongside Christian teachings, prayer and biblical principles. It also alleges she promoted heterosexual sexuality within marriage and used a spiritual approach in her counselling practice.

Gaudet-Lebrun primarily serves clients who share her Christian faith and has said she aimed to provide counselling that aligns with both professional standards and clients’ religious beliefs.

Constitutional lawyer Olivier Séguin said the case reflects wider concerns about the reach of professional regulators and the role of religion in client relationships.

Gaudet-Lebrun said the complaint was deeply distressing and that legal support had been significant for her.

The matter is expected to proceed with expert reports, clarification of allegations and preparation for a disciplinary hearing.

Children pushed to suicide by online grooming network targeting kids through games and chat apps

A grieving British Columbia father is going after an online extremist group after his teenage daughter was allegedly groomed into taking her own life by a disturbing online network that targets children through popular gaming and messaging platforms.

The group, known as 764 or “the Com,” has been described as an international extremist network that preys on children as young as nine through apps such as Roblox, Discord and Telegram. Members are accused of manipulating young users into self-harm, harming pets, committing violent acts and ultimately attempting suicide, often while being watched online.

The father said his daughter Penelope loved amusement parks, zombie movies and creating digital art through games like Minecraft and Roblox. But over time, her behaviour changed dramatically. Her grades collapsed, she stopped attending school and began self-harming.

He later discovered she had allegedly been groomed by individuals connected to the group.

He said members sent him videos of his daughter trying to harm the family cat and that multiple suicide attempts may have been livestreamed. Penelope died in February 2025, three days before her 16th birthday.

Authorities in Canada have reportedly classified 764 as a terrorist organization, with investigations and charges emerging in multiple jurisdictions.

Public awareness remains dangerously low, and this is another reminder that parents should closely monitor children’s online activity. Once vulnerable youth are drawn into these networks, reversing the psychological damage can be extremely difficult.

Canada Joins US-Led Anti-China War Games

As the US blockades Iranian ships from sending oil to China, Canada’s military has sent a large force to join Washington’s effort to threaten that country. As Mark Carney calls US ties a “weakness”, Canada’s armed forces are quadrupling down on their US orientation.

Exercise BALIKATAN began Monday. Beijing views the massive US-led 19-day live-fire exercise across the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait as a threat. “Unilateralism and military bullying have already brought profound disasters to the world,” noted China’s foreign ministry spokesperson in response. Guo Jiakun added, “What the Asia-Pacific region most needs is peace and tranquillity. What it least needs is the introduction of external forces to create division and confrontation.”

This is the first time Canada has participated directly in the annual exercise. According to Canada’s ambassador in Manila, this country has dispatched the third largest deployment to the six-country exercise, which includes 10,000 US troops. According to the Canadian forces release, “Led by the United States and the Philippines, Exercise BALIKATAN will involve a broad range of CAF personnel and capabilities, including contributions from the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army, Royal Canadian Air Force, the CAF Cyber Command, and the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command.”

HMCS Charlottetown is part of the exercise while 500 or more Canadian soldiers have traveled 10,000 kilometres to participate in this event.

As part of militaristic 2022 Indo-Pacific Strategy, Canada has deepened ‘defense’ ties with the Philippines. Six months ago, the two countries signed a Status of Visiting Forces Agreement. A year before that they established a Defence Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding and Canada gave the Philippines access to its Dark Vessel Detection System, which employs satellite technology to track ships in the South China Sea.

These efforts are designed to assist the US in its military buildup. The Bongbong Marcos led Philippines has taken a sharp turn back towards the US and against China. According to China Military Online, “Since the Marcos administration resumed defense cooperation with the US in 2022, the US military has been systematically shaping the Philippines into a forward operational hub. This includes the addition of four new military sites, the deployment of the Typhon mid-range missile system, the construction of large, prepositioned ammunition depots, and the frequent conduct of joint military exercises. Taken together, these developments indicate that the US is seeking to turn the Philippines into a forward stronghold for containing its strategic competitors.”

RFK Jr. Blasts Canada’s ‘Abhorrent’ Assisted Suicide Laws: US Can’t Be ‘Moral Society’ by Embracing Them

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. forcefully condemned Canada’s liberal assisted suicide laws during a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday.

The comments came as he testified before the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate HELP Committee.

At one point, Kennedy was asked about assisted suicide policies.

“I think those laws are abhorrent,” Kennedy said.

He pointed to Canada as an example of where such policies can lead.

“And we just see in Canada today, I think the number one cause of death is assisted suicide,” he added.

Kennedy said the issue extends beyond individual choice.

“And as you say, it targets people with disabilities and people who are struggling in their lives,” he said.

He warned about their impact on any society that wants to call itself moral.

“I don’t think we can be a moral society; we can’t be a moral authority around the globe if that becomes institutionalized throughout our society,” Kennedy said.

He also expressed his willingness to work with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to address the issue.

“I am happy to work with you in whatever way we can,” he said.

Canada’s medical assistance in dying program, known as MAID, has been controversial from the start.

The Canadian government describes suicide as a nuanced issue and one of personal choice, and the criteria to qualify are lax.

At age 18, Canadians can choose suicide if they “make a voluntary request that is not the result of external pressure” and understand what they are requesting, so long as they are “in an advanced state of irreversible decline in capability.”

The MAID program also assists people in taking their own lives if they experience “enduring and intolerable physical or psychological suffering that cannot be alleviated under conditions the person considers acceptable.”

Canada is projected to approach 100,000 assisted deaths before the program’s 10th anniversary this summer, The New York Post reported.

As of 2024, total assisted suicide deaths reached 76,475, far exceeding the 42,042 Canadians who were killed in World War II.

Ontario landowners push back against high-speed rail and property rights threats

Landowners gathered at the Ontario Landowners Association (OLA) general meeting in Cobourg to voice strong opposition to the federal government’s proposed $90-billion Alto high-speed rail project, warning it threatens private property rights through aggressive expropriation and sweeping legislative changes.

The project, aimed at linking Toronto and Quebec City, has sparked alarm among rural residents and farmers in eastern Ontario as letters from Alto arrive, requesting access to private land for surveys, soil testing, and environmental assessments.

Many fear that allowing entry could weaken their legal standing and pave the way for forced takings.

“There is no law that requires property owners to allow anyone onto their property with respect to Alto,” OLA president Jeff Bogaerts relayed. “The moment you allow Alto onto your property, your property rights are going away.”

Attendees noted that the lack of clear route details, crossing plans, or impact assessments has left landowners in the dark.

Critics like Conservative MP Philip Lawrence argue that the project is fundamentally flawed. At speeds requiring grade separation, every road, farm lane, or crossing demands expensive overpasses or underpasses, costing millions each.

For him and concerned landowners, the economics don’t add up: an estimated $8,000 per Canadian household, with most taxpayers (outside of the 1,000 km corridor between Toronto and Quebec City) unlikely to ever use the service.

“It’s my property. I should be able to do what I want with it,” one farmer stated plainly. “We don’t need it, we can’t afford it, and it’s just a bad idea,” said another.

Others pointed out practical inconveniences, such as disrupted local travel patterns that could force longer drives for basic needs like groceries.

Concerns extend beyond cost and disruption, with speakers highlighting potential conflicts of interest, noting involvement of firms like SNC-Lavalin (now rebranded Atkins Realis), compounded by the fact that Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne’s partner is vice-president of Alto’s environmental division.

Questions also arose about the project’s alignment with broader global agendas under Prime Minister Mark Carney, with former MP Jack MacLaren saying, “I hope the train goes where the new world order goes, and that’s nowhere.”

Nowhere — that’s exactly where a 2018 Ontario government proposal for a high-speed rail line ended up, despite plans to have it running by 2025 and an $11 billion ‘commitment’ to the failed project.

Ironically, a copy of that year’s OLA magazine was shared with attendees, showing just how relevant those same concerns persist nearly a decade later.

Schizophrenic man behind Toronto army recruiting centre knife attack approved for Mecca pilgrimage

A man found not criminally responsible on three counts of attempted murder for a March 2016 knife attack at a Canadian Forces Recruiting Centre in Toronto has been granted a three-week travel pass for Saudi Arabia and Somalia, despite the fact that he “continues to pose a significant threat to public safety.”

Ayanle Hassan Ali, who is Muslim, plans to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca with his father and meet a potential bride his dad found for him in Somalia.

He wants to travel abroad “to facilitate a meeting with a woman as his father has been working on arranging a possible marriage with a woman who resides in Somalia,” said a recent decision from the Ontario Review Board (ORB).

“Mr. Ali has advised that this is not uncommon in his culture, and the marriage would only proceed if both parties were agreeable. He is hopeful he will be able to travel to Somalia over the upcoming reporting year for an introductory meeting with the woman.”

Ali’s doctor testified that his patient’s “faith and religious beliefs continue to be very important to him, and he attends his mosque weekly, and he prays five times daily,” according to a recent decision from the independent tribunal that regularly reviews the status of individuals found not criminally responsible due to mental disorder.

“He and his father have planned for a religious ritual of Umrah pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Mr. Ali is studying to memorize the Koran and attends the mosque by his father’s house daily to meet with his teacher. He is hopeful that his tutor may assist him in securing a volunteer position at a local school to tutor in math or French.”

Canadian gov’t admits it kept data on COVID jab deaths from public over ‘privacy’ concerns

The Canadian federal government has tacitly admitted that key death data relating to the mRNA-based COVID injections were withheld from public reporting, citing supposed privacy concerns.

The Public Health Agency of Canada is defending its decision to withhold the data relating to how those who received the COVID shots and died as a result were tracked.

The revelations come from Conservative MP Dean Allison’s Order Paper Question Q-849. The health agency said it did not publish weekly COVID death counts, as connected to one’s jab status. The agency claimed the numbers were low and posed “privacy” risks.

Because of this, Canadians were denied key information which could have better informed them on the risks associated with the COVID shots, which were heavily promoted at all levels of government.

The Public Health Agency said it tracked COVID jab outcomes from the start, in December of 2020, when the shots were officially approved. This means that the raw data of those who died or were injured following the COVID shots should exist.

Canada’s public health officials claimed that the December 2020 date provided a “consistent starting point” for tracking jabs.

Despite this, the agency instead chose to showcase statistical modelling, through the federal COVID-19 Epidemiology and Surveillance Division, when comparing non-vaccinated people to those who had taken the jabs.

The agency claimed that it followed the World Health Organization and U.S. public health authorities’ guidance models, instead of utilizing and sharing Canada-specific data.

Canada’s government continues to purchase the COVID shots, although its own data show that most Canadians are refusing a COVID booster injection.

Canada’s Public Health Agency (PHAC) recently took over the nation’s vaccine injury compensation program, changing the name from the Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) to the Vaccine Impact Assistance Program (VIAP). The agency had admitted the COVID shots have caused harm to no less than 10,000 people.

CANADA: Local Pride Organization Founder Facing Sex Trafficking Charges

The founder of a local Pride organization based in the town of Innisfil, Canada, appeared in court this week facing charges relating to the alleged sex trafficking of two women in 2021. Jake Tucker is said to have pimped two Barrie women over six-year period ending in 2021, while other charges against him include sexual assault, assault causing bodily harm, and assault.

According to a report from local outlet Innisfil Today, Tucker faces a total of 10 counts against two victims. Crown attorney Susan Orlando described to the court how Tucker groomed the women by forming a friendship with them and convincing them to enter the sex trade for him, while he slowly began to exercise more control over their lives.

Specific details regarding the nature of the charges have been withheld due to a publication ban out of concern for the safety of the victims. However, the case against Tucker alleges that he coerced the women into an “overwhelming commitment to service customers” as he gradually began to pocket an increasing portion of their earnings.

While the offenses are said to have occurred in 2021, and court proceedings began just this week, another Pride organization appears to have been aware of the charges against Tucker as early as 2022.

CULTURE OF DEATH: Canadian Man Who Mailed Poison to People and Helped Them Kill Themselves Will Plead Guilty to Minor Charges To Avoid 14 Murder Counts

Law’s crimes are another nightmarish story in the sinking of Canada into the culture of death.

We have been reporting here on TGP about the rampant culture of death in Canada, and most specifically about the murderous saga of Kenneth Law, as you can read in Canadian Man Charged With 14 Counts of Murder for Mailing Poison to Young People, Helping Them Kill Themselves.

Today, news broke that, according to Law’s lawyer, he will plead guilty to ‘counseling or aiding suicide’.

In turn, Canadian prosecutors will withdraw no less than 14 murder charges filed against him.

Associated Press reported:

“’The plea will be to the charges of aiding suicide’, [lawyer Matthew Gourlay] said in an email. […] Law’s case is scheduled to return to a Newmarket, Ontario, court on Monday afternoon. Calls to Ontario’s Ministry of the Attorney General weren’t immediately answered.
