Next Event Date: Saturday. January 23Time: 12 PMLocation: Nelson City Hall, Canada We are gathering this Saturday (Jan 23rd) to encourage conversation instead of division and to protect the essential human right for each of us to have freedom of choice when it comes to personal health. We will be having a peaceful assembly at Nelson City Hall in support of the core values of our organization which include: Informed Consent, Medical Freedom, Transparent Science, Unbiased Journalism, Human & Privacy Rights & Free Speech. We feel that many of these values which make up the fundamental pillars of an open society are currently not being respected. We acknowledge that in the past allowing authorities to have autonomy over what an individual can or cannot do with their body is a slippery slope, one that is similar in steepness to that of taking away people’s inherent right to freely express themselves. We are assembling to make sure we avoid the historical fates of societies that say and do nothing when their essential human rights are threatened and civil discourse is discouraged or even prevented by authorities. We feel governments exist to serve the people and answer their questions When the public feels that it’s questions are being ignored or that their rights are not being protected they have the fundamental right (some would say a civic duty) to gather in order to amplify their concerns and hold their public servants accountable. We value the UNCONDITIONAL right for the public to gather and see it as an ESSENTIAL tool and safeguard in making sure the values of a free and open society remain protected. We welcome all those who wish to stand with us this Saturday.

Hundreds of tourist-trade businesses DEFY Covid lockdown rules and say they will reopen in Poland because lockdown they ‘won’t survive another month’
Ski slopes, restaurants and hotels in Poland’s tourist-reliant mountainous south have announced they will defy anti-virus restrictions and reopen Monday, as small business owners nationwide grow increasingly weary of lockdown. Around 200 entrepreneurs have joined the so-called ‘Highlanders’ Veto’ movement, whose leader Sebastian Piton announced the disobedience campaign while clad in the traditional outfit of the Tatra mountains. But the Polish government said opening businesses now would ‘radically increase’ the number of coronavirus cases and deaths in the country. ‘The entrepreneurs are this determined because they realise they won’t survive another month – so they have no choice,’ said Piton, who has described coronavirus as a ‘minor, pleasant illness’. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9142789/Hundreds-tourist-trade-businesses-DEFY-Covid-lockdown-rules-say-reopen-Poland.html?fbclid=IwAR3ca0EPs59KW62Et5xIzfd6bv5jQC0ElgakslzwvDKgLFJZSPgz8sxbhAY
COVID-19: The excuses people have been giving for breaking lockdown
Climbing a mountain in the dark in trainers and a road trip to visit all 92 football league grounds are just two of the excuses people have given to police after being recently caught flouting lockdown rules. Though the rules on the government website state “stay local means stay in the village, town, or part of the city where you live”, one minister has conceded the term is “open to interpretation, but people broadly know what local means”. Two women who were fined £200 after travelling to a reservoir for a walk around five miles from their homes have had their penalties cancelled. Here is a look at some of the reasons people have given for leaving their homes and breaching current COVID-19 regulations. https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-the-excuses-people-have-been-giving-for-breaking-lockdown-12185693
