I wrote a letter to the Minister of Agriculture a while back and finally received a response, albeit a very concerning one.
Dear Minister Sigurdson,
There was much news in recent years about injecting livestock with experimental MnRA vaccine technology. I am writing to obtain confirmation as to whether or not Alberta farmers are currently involved in using MnRA vaccine technology in their livestock.
Could you please confirm whether or not this contentious technology is currently being used by farmers in Alberta, as most folks I know are totally opposed to such practice. Many states are moving to ban such practice in livestock as the risks are currently unknown, therefore Albertans should not be exposed to this experimental practice either.
Thank you in advance for providing this information.
And his disappointing response:
“Thank you for your email about the use of vaccines in livestock. As Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, I am pleased to respond.
Vaccines are an important tool to protect animal health in Canada and other countries. Vaccines are proven to prevent disease, promote health and welfare, reduce the use of antimicrobial medication, and contribute to positive outcomes associated with the risk of antimicrobial resistance.
Prior to authorizing vaccines or medications for use in animals, the federal government conducts rigorous tests, assessments and approvals to ensure these treatments are safe and effective and meet quality standards. Side effects can occur in rare cases, and monitoring for these is an important component of the scientific safety assessment for new products.
Several types of vaccine technology exist, with mRNA vaccines being one. Other types of vaccine technology include killed virus and modified-live virus vaccines. A killed virus vaccine contains the entire virus, including its DNA, but the virus does not replicate or cause an infection in the animal because it has been killed.
A modified-live virus vaccine uses a weakened (or attenuated) form of a live virus, including its DNA, to mimic an infection. Because the virus has been modified or attenuated, it cannot cause serious disease, but it does result in a strong immune response.
An mRNA vaccine contains parts of the virus’s DNA. These vaccines create specific proteins from the original virus to trigger an immune response if the virus tries to infect the animal. It does not alter the animal's DNA.
The introduction of mRNA vaccines for use in Canadian and U.S. livestock is recent; however, development of these vaccines has been underway for decades.
To discuss the use of mRNA vaccines in livestock, I encourage you to contact the Office of the Chief Provincial Veterinarian at [email protected] or by calling 780-427-3448 to speak with one of our veterinarians.
Thank you again for writing.”
Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers & Businesses of Canada
And just when you thought the web of influence stopped at the Prime Minister himself, along comes Diana Fox Carney, economist, climate consultant, and spouse of the most well-connected man in Canadian politics. While Mark Carney's direct financial entanglements with Brookfield Asset Management are now public record, his wife’s career trajectory paints an equally troubling picture of how the same elite networks driving Canada’s green spending are profiting in parallel, behind the curtain.
Diana Fox Carney currently holds a senior advisory role at Eurasia Group, the New York-based geopolitical risk consultancy that’s become a quiet powerhouse in shaping global ESG narratives. It’s also the same firm where Gerald Butts—Trudeau’s longtime fixer and architect of the federal climate playbook—now serves as vice chair. Add in former journalist Evan Solomon and even Conservative stalwart John Baird, and you’ve got a bipartisan ...

Barnum Statements And Why They Matter
For those of you wondering, “who is Barnum?” or “What is Barnum?” Don’t worry, that’s exactly what I was thinking just a few weeks ago when I was chatting with my friend Drew Treglia, the director and screenwriter of The Jones Plantation. He was booked to come back on my podcast to discuss his new film called Barnum’s World. I’ve watched it, and it’s fantastic, I highly recommend it. (Links below.)
So, who was Barnum?
The man behind the name is Phineas Taylor Barnum, better known as P T Barnum, an American showman, businessman and politician who lived from 1810 to 1891. He made his name promoting elaborate hoaxes and later founded the Barnum and Bailey Circus. He was also an author, publisher and philanthropist, but perhaps most famously said, “I am a showman by profession.”
He’s often linked to the phrase, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” Whether or not he actually said it, it perfectly captures the spirit of his style, captivating ...
