FEATURED GUEST: DeVaughn Harper
Courage, Tragedy, and the Canadian Spirit
You may remember DeVaughn Harper from our unforgettable Stronger Together Conference in Beauséjour on June 21, 2024. This Tuesday, he returns to MST to share the full story of his brother Garnet Harper, whose life was taken far too soon during the COVID-19 medical and political catastrophe that swept across this country.
Garnet—a loving father of five, a husband, and a man of integrity—was denied a life-saving organ transplantsimply because he refused to comply with the vaccine mandate. His death was not an accident. It was a direct consequence of a system that prioritized politics over compassion, coercion over care, and obedience over truth.
DeVaughn is here to tell Garnet’s story—not just as a witness to injustice, but as a brother on a mission. He will update us on his ongoing efforts to raise awareness, educate Canadians, and ensure that no family ever has to suffer this kind of preventable loss again.
DeVaughn’s Journey: From Grief to National Advocacy
Since the tragedy, DeVaughn has spoken with countless Canadians, stood on numerous stages, and recently attended the National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) hearings in Edmonton, which focused on the vital issue: “Are Children Safe in Canada?”
He’ll speak about the incredible patriots he’s met along the way, the reaction of everyday Canadians to Garnet’s story, and how communities are pulling together across the country—in the name of freedom, truth, and justice.
This is a moment of reflection, inspiration, and hope—and a call to action for us all.

This Weeks News (5 Min)
#1 News of Week
In this third installment of our three-part interview, Dr. Gary Davidson continues to discuss the process and findings of the Alberta COVID-19 Pandemic Data Review Task Force Report. Despite lacking subpoena power, the report uncovers critical errors in Alberta’s COVID-19 response, highlighting failures in governance, transparency, and decision-making. Hopefully this is just the beginning of a larger investigation.
#2 News of Week
Moderna is facing suspension from Britain’s pharmaceutical trade association for a string of breaches relating to its covid vaccines.
Moderna is set to be audited by the Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (“PMCPA”) to assess its compliance systems, and if found to be lacking, Moderna could ultimately be suspended or expelled from the APBI, a measure that has only been taken nine times in the past 40 years.
The breaches include representatives of the company offering children £1,500 and teddy bears to take part in covid vaccine trials, which is prohibited under the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) regulations, as well as misleading regulators about when it first became aware of the financial incentives to children.
#3 News of Week
In this episode of Talk Truth, Dr. Roger Hodkinson returns to discuss the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine injuries, and the erosion of trust in public institutions. As an early critic of mainstream COVID-19 narratives, he shares his views on recent revelations from health officials, concerns over vaccine-related injuries, and the implications for future generations. The conversation also covers the decline in fertility rates, child vaccinations, and Dr. Hodkinson’s new project, “Malpractice Check,” helping individuals determine if they’ve been affected by medical malpractice or vaccine injuries.

THIS WEEKS READ
A Mini-Report from the National Citizens Inquiury is this weeks read. It is an excerpt from the original report published in November of
Mini Report Overview:
Coercion Does Not Equal Consent
Introduction
The principle that coercion does not equal consent is universally accepted as true in the case of
sexual activity. It is hard to see how it is not equally as true when it comes to providing a medical
treatment such as a vaccine—even more so when the medical treatment is a novel treatment with no
long-term safety or effectiveness data.
Discussion
Coercion refers to the use of tactics like pressure, trickery, or emotional force to get someone to do
something they otherwise do not want to do. Consent is not freely given if a person is pressured or
threatened to agree to something.
What is surprising is how easily Canadians and their courts accepted coercive government actions
in pursuit of getting every person injected with the same substance, regardless of a person‘s
medical history or risk for serious disease from COVID-19. The hard-won principle of “my body, my
choice,” gained by feminists after years of fighting for the rights of women to control their own
bodies, vanished during the second year of the pandemic. It was replaced with a constant
drumbeat by public officials, supported by the media, of safe and effective, which was
accompanied by politicians and public figures stating that measures would not be lifted unless
everybody “did their part.”
Canadians who hesitated to get vaccinated were branded as anti-vaxxers, despite having voluntarily
received every other vaccine, recommended by public health, in their lives. Politicians encouraged
people to blame the unvaccinated for the restrictive measures that stopped them from getting back
to normal. Those who had taken the COVID-19 vaccines felt morally superior and validated in
scorning those who didn‘t “do the right thing.” Public shaming became a societal norm.
Witness after witness took the NCI stand and proclaimed, “I am not an anti-vaxxer,” at the same time
as refusing to take a COVID-19 vaccine. Why did they feel the need to make such a proclamation?
Because Canadian society had devolved to the point where open denigration of the unvaccinated
was permitted and even encouraged.
Coercion was applied in virtually every aspect of Canadians‘ lives. Workplace mandates caused
many to accept a COVID-19 vaccine who didn‘t want one. People who supported their families
simply couldn‘t afford to lose their jobs. The NCI heard from many witnesses that they or a loved
one felt compelled to take the injection, under the threat of losing their livelihood. This does not
resemble freely given consent.
Please join on time, we start and finish on time.
Usually I am in the chat ten minutes before the start of the meeting!
