Canada: Alberta has abandoned some of its harsh Covid-19 policies, claiming the action is in response to the province having reached a high rate of vaccination. Patrick King, however, says his court case is responsible. He fought a $1,200 ticket for violating Covid restrictions and subpoenaed Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Deena Hinshaw, asking her to provide evidence that there really is a SARS-CoV-2 virus. She failed to produce evidence of the virus and responded that it was not relevant to his case. Ezra Levant and Rebel Media have reluctantly challenged King’s conclusions by pointing out that Alberta had already relaxed Covid restrictions before his trial, and that anyone following his legal strategies may be in for big trouble. They love King’s passion but not his knowledge of the law. -GEG

Summary by JW Williams
.
Alberta, Canada: Patrick King, a Canadian father and protester, told his story in a viral video claiming to have ended masking, shots and quarantine after he represented himself in court in a case over a $1,200 fine for breaking Covid restrictions. As part of his defense, he asked for proof of the SARS-CoV-2 Covid virus as it is the justification for lockdowns, quarantines, masks, contact tracing, vaccines and more. The prosecution and medical authorities failed to supply physical proof of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It has never been isolated, and therefore cannot be proven to exist. The judge allowed King to to subpoena Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) Deena Hinshaw. King showed her response that read:
.
“The CMOH Has No Material Evidence
.
Mr. King has no material evidence showing that the evidence sought from the CMOH is likely to be material to the Provincial Court proceeding contrary to ss. 698 and 699 of the Criminal Code. As such, the Justice of the Peace did not have jurisdiction to issue the subpoena, and it should be quashed on this basis.”
.
King claimed victory because evidence of the virus was not produced. He exhorted others to challenge the Public Health Act in Provinces and States because the judge will be forced to subpoena the government officials responsible for the policies. He says he has laid a foundation for the thousands of other who also received tickets to follow. He says this can end Covid policies because SARS-CoV-2 has not been isolated, and therefore cannot be proven to exist, so people cannot be forced to do anything in the name of something that cannot be proven to exist.
.
Sheila Gunn Reid, a court reporter, analyzed Patrick King’s court documents for Rebel Media and said that Hinshaw’s statement that “CMOH Has No Material Evidence” means that evidence was not provided because it was not relevant to the case (material = relevant), rather than there is no SARS-CoV-2 virus. Reporter Reid said that masking and the end of the lockdown was on July 1, prior to King’s case, and it is not correct to give him credit for stopping the lockdown. She said that the Justice of the Peace did not have jurisdiction to issue the subpoena and it should be squashed. King wanted CMOH Hinshaw to produce evidence of isolation of the virus. The CMOH response said that the court case was about the enforcement of the law and the ticket that was issued, not the rationale behind the law, contending that it was not material/ relevant to the case. King tried to raise a constitutional issue, but it should have been done sooner to give notice to the court, so they were not compelled to produce that evidence related to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
.
According to critic Ezra Levant, the owner of Rebel Media and a former attorney, the title of the viral video featuring King, ‘Freedom Fighter Court VICTORY! Ends Masking, Shots, Quarantine in Alberta!’ is incorrect. Levant said that while there have been changes in Alberta’s Covid restrictions, there is no court ruling in Alberta that struck down masking, testing, quarantine in that province or anywhere else in Canada.
.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media reported in late July that Alberta is softening certain Covid restrictions due to a high rate of Covid vaccination, claiming that 75% of eligible Albertans have received at least one dose of a Covid vaccine and 64% are fully immunized.
.
The changes in the Covid restrictions include: no isolation after exposure, unless the individual has Covid-19 symptoms, no isolation following an asymptomaric positive COVID-19 test, isolation hotels and quarantine support will no longer be available, contact tracers will no longer notify close contacts of exposure but will continue to investigate cases in high-risk setting like acute and continuing care facilities, asymptomatic testing is no longer recommended but tests will be available to individuals who are symptomatic, and province-mandated masking orders will be lifted but may be required in some acute care or continuing care settings.
.
It is unknown if King’s case may have influenced Alberta to remove some Covid restrictions. Alberta is now treating Covid as mild flu, instead of a made-up disease that cannot be proven to exist because the SARS-CoV-2 virus has yet to be isolated and proven to exist. An internet commenter/critic wrote that the Province has chosen to IMAGINE that a disease exists though the causal agent does not, and mitigates the imaginary disease to a “mild flu”. If the virus doesn’t exist, Covid doesn’t exist. There should be a follow-up case to clarify that. A judicial declaration that there is no Sars-CoV-2 and thus no Covid disease whatsoever needs to be issued.
