Éloïse Boies, is a YouTuber with the channel 'Élo Wants to Know.' She has been granted authorization to proceed with a class-action lawsuit against YouTube. The lawsuit alleges that the platform has been censoring content related to the pandemic, vaccines, and the Covid-19 virus that it disagrees with, citing it as medical misinformation. The plaintiff, Éloïse Boies, who is legally represented by William Desrochers, alleges that YouTube, owned by Google LLC, censored three of her videos. YouTube cited a violation of its platform policy, stating that Boies spread "incorrect medical information contradicting that of local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding COVID-19." The class action includes “Any person, natural or legal, who has used or visited YouTube since March 15, 2020, and who has seen their videos directly or indirectly linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, censored or who, having wanted to do so, was unable to read or access these videos while residing in Quebec or having an establishment there." According to court documents, the three videos Boies alleges were taken down and censored by YouTube are as follows: "On or around January 5, 2021, YouTube removed the video titled 'Censorship.' In this video, Boies argues that large companies like Amazon, Facebook, and YouTube, along with the government, censor information. She mentions government engagement in propaganda, a doctor's claim of being pressured to identify COVID-19 as the cause of death, prohibition of all debate, and stigmatization of opponents of the dominant discourse with degrading labels such as 'anti-vaccines' or 'conspiracists.'" "On or around August 29, 2021, YouTube removed the video titled 'Why Refuse Vaccines?'. In this video, Boies argues that several scientific experts, including Dr. Robert Malone, oppose COVID-19 vaccination but encounter censorship. She mentions the absence of thorough analysis regarding the risks and benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine, insufficient testing, emerging concerns like fertility issues, censorship of credible individuals, suspicions of a hidden government agenda tied to vaccination passports, and multiple medical and political reasons for vaccine refusal." "In November 2022, YouTube removed the interview video featuring Dr. Louis Fouché, a French doctor and spokesperson for the Réinfo Covid Collective. Dr. Fouché criticizes the falsehoods propagated by authorities, such as portraying the pandemic as a deadly epidemic with no solutions besides isolation, distancing, mask-wearing, and vaccination. He argues that the virus is benign for most individuals, there are identifiable vulnerable groups, curative treatments exist but are impeded by authorities, most health measures are ineffective and cause significant collateral damage, and vaccines are neither universally effective nor safe for all age groups. Dr. Fouché also accuses the system of corruption, manipulation of scientific studies and data, and employing social engineering techniques and mass media to shape public perception." The plaintiff primarily argues that YouTube's content control related to the COVID-19 pandemic is an unlawful an intentional infringement on freedom of expression, which is protected by the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. Google contends that it hasn't breached the Charter since it's not obliged to offer a space for sharing videos regardless of their content. Additionally, it asserts that its platform is private and can be managed according to its own rules and preferences. Superior Court Judge Lukasz Granosik mentions in his judgement that "Freedom of expression does not only mean freedom of speech, but also freedom of publication and freedom of creation. Granosik then quotes from the Supreme Court of Canada saying, "it is difficult to imagine a guaranteed freedom which is more important than freedom of expression in a democratic society." Judge Granosik concluded after reviewing all the facts in the case that, "If Google manages and controls the content found on the YouTube platform and therefore takes actions in this direction, it cannot immediately deny all responsibility. If it carries out censorship by preventing certain people from posting videos and prevents other people from viewing these same videos, it thus hinders the free circulation of ideas and exposes itself to having to defend its ways of doing things." Google is ordered to "pay the plaintiff and each member of the group who published content on YouTube related to the COVID-19 pandemic and was censored,' the sum of $1,000 as compensatory damages, and $1,000 in punitive damages with interest at the legal rate, along with additional compensation provided for by law since the filing of the request for authorization to take collective action, as per the court's decision." The judgment further orders that Google must "cease any form of censorship or classification of publications having the effect of preventing YouTube users from propagating and receiving messages or information contradicting those of health authorities, governments, and the World Health Organization, or any other similar body." In addressing the concerns regarding viewers and visitors to the YouTube platform who may have been 'deprived of viewing prohibited content,' Judge Granosik chose not to rule on an amount for compensatory and punitive damages at this time. Instead, he deferred this decision to be addressed collectively at a subsequent hearing.

A pilot nearly dies after experiencing blood clots and strokes that required brain surgery following his second mandated Pfizer Covid-19 shot; doctors called it a miracle that he survived. Tim McAdams, a healthy and fit 59-year-old pilot from Texas with over 40 years of experience flying various aircraft, including planes, jets, and helicopters, faced a near death experience after his second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Tim spoke with The Canadian Independent to tell his story. Flying private corporate jets for several years, Tim transitioned to becoming an EMS helicopter pilot at the Mayo Clinic, where he worked for several years. He also trained Canadian paramedic pilots in western Canada. Later, Tim joined Airbus as a pilot, where he worked for over a decade. During this time, he also had the opportunity to train Tom Cruise for one of his upcoming movies. Tim says he opted against the COVID-19 vaccinations due to unknown risks. He mentioned that his employer, Airbus, continued to press the importance of vaccination through emails, urging employees to consider it. It wasn’t until the company mandated the Covid-19 shot that Tim says he was forced to take it or lose his job. Tim says that while Airbus offered religious and medical exceptions, he did not qualify for these exemptions. Just three weeks after Tim’s second Pfizer shot in 2021, his life took a tragic turn, and he faced a near-death experience. He suffered two bilateral cerebellar strokes, underwent brain surgery that required a portion of his skull to be removed, spent 80 days in the hospital, and required substantial rehabilitation. Doctors described Tim’s survival as a miracle. Tim says he ate healthy, exercised regularly, and generally took good care of himself. He says he never smoked, drank alcohol very seldom, and had no underlying health conditions prior to getting the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 shots. Tim notes that while in the hospital and during recovery, when he questioned the doctor about the cause of his strokes, the doctor would not admit a correlation between his injury and the COVID-19 vaccine. However, Tim does mention that a nurse advised him in hospital to report what happened to him through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Tim's follow-up doctor believes his injury was indeed related to the Covid-19 vaccine, as evidenced by medical records provided to The Canadian Independent. After being released from the hospital, Tim tried to return to work but faced medical difficulties. His doctor advised him that it was time to stop working, leading Tim to retire and go on disability. As a result, Tim's wife also had to give up her job to care for him. This led to the sale of their home in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, forcing them to relocate to a lower-income neighborhood. Life has undergone drastic changes for Tim and his family. Transitioning from financially stable employment with good-paying jobs, Tim and his wife now rely solely on Tim’s disability cheque each month. Tim faces ongoing struggles with walking due to balancing issues, often needing to rely on walls or railings for support. Additionally, Tim struggles to speak due to damage to a vocal cord from intubation. When asked by The Canadian Independent if Tim could turn back time, Tim didn’t hesitate to express that he would have preferred to let his company, Airbus, fire him rather than compromise his health by getting the vaccine.

Eva Chipiuk and Jeff Rath, two Alberta lawyers, joined The Canadian Independent to talk about two class-action lawsuits they've launched against the provincial and federal governments over COVID-19 vaccine injuries and mandated business closures.

A young Alberta woman, who suffered severe and permanent facial paralysis after receiving the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, speaks with The Canadian Independent to share her story. Carrie Sakamoto, a perfectly healthy 45-year-old, raised her three children with her husband on a farm just outside Lethbridge, Alberta. When the pandemic struck, Carrie, like many others, rolled up her sleeve and got vaccinated. What she didn't realize is that this decision would change her life forever. Sakamoto received the AstraZeneca vaccine on April 21, 2021, and then received a Pfizer jab on June 18, 2021. After receiving the Pfizer vaccine, she experienced severe flu-like symptoms, including nausea, dizziness, and fever, which persisted and worsened through-out the week. On July 1, 2021, Sakamoto's husband brought her to Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge, Alberta, because her symptoms were worsening. Carrie noticed that the right side of her face began to droop, and she experienced stroke-like symptoms. Sakamoto was discharged from the hospital that day and was told that her symptoms would resolve themselves. Throughout the night and into the next day, Carrie's symptoms worsened, prompting her return to the hospital. She was admitted to the hospital on July 2, 2021. Her condition continued to deteriorate, leading to the need for a feeding tube as she was unable to chew and swallow food properly, Her right eye was paralyzed open so it had to be covered and taped shut. Five days later on July 9, 2021, doctors at the hospital conveyed to Sakamoto that her injuries were attributed to a reaction from the Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccine administered on June 18, 2021. After Sakamoto was released from the hospital, she and her family made the difficult decision to put their home and farm up for sale. Sakamoto mentioned that this decision wasn't easy, but she faced challenges in performing household tasks due to persistent fatigue, lack of concentration, the need for multiple medications, constant medical treatment and her inability to drive. Carrie say’s that she began speaking out online about her vaccine injury with the intention of raising awareness about her experience. She notes encountering resistance from the mainstream media, which refused to share her story, and facing hurtful comments from individuals online. In March 2023, Sakamoto was approved for compensation through the Canadian government's Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP). She mentioned using this approval as evidence to support her claims about her injury and noted that the mainstream media continued to refuse to speak with her. The VISP awarded Sakamoto a one-time lump sum payment of $65,000 but denied her any income replacement or coverage for ongoing medical expenses. Sakamoto mentioned that she accepted the VISP’s $65,000 offer and decided not to appeal because she was accumulating credit card debt due to medical expenses. She has appealed the VISP’s denial for income replacement and coverage of medical expenses but hasn't received a decision yet Carrie continues to face a very challenging life, dealing with a disfigured face, slurred speech, constant pain in her face, ear, and head, hearing loss in her right ear, balance issues due to vertigo, memory loss, difficulty sleeping, headaches and anxiety. A class action lawsuit has been recently filed on behalf of Carrie by an Alberta law firm, Rath & Company. The lawsuit alleges "unlawful, negligent, inadequate, improper, unfair, and deceptive practices" against both the province of Alberta and the federal government. These allegations are connected to the "warning, marketing, promotion, and distribution of the Covid vaccines." The lawsuit alleges that the defendants hastily implemented alterations to the safety standards of the vaccines, essentially eliminating the necessity to substantiate their safety or effectiveness. Despite these changes, the vaccines were reportedly marketed as meeting such standards. Additionally, the legal claim asserts that citizens were allegedly coerced into vaccination through the enforcement of a vaccine passport, restricting the rights of those who were hesitant to receive the vaccine. Concerning distribution, the lawsuit alleges that Health Canada negligently approved the Covid vaccines through an expedited process. This process permitted manufacturers to seek authorization for the sale and distribution of Covid vaccines without completing all long-term safety studies or committing to reviewing new evidence as it emerged. Additionally, it is alleged that this expedited process failed to demonstrate the 'safety and effectiveness' of the Covid vaccines for the general population. Carrie wants to extend a special thank you to Veterans 4 Freedom for their support in raising funds for her.
