The Dystopian Future of Canada Part III: PCR and False Positives
Canada, like the whole world, has seemingly descended into chaos.
At the core of lockdowns across most our country and measures ranging from military implementation to Alberta’s light touch with growing positive test numbers (identified as cases) seemingly out of control is a potentially faulty test methodology.
Recently, a family member tested positive for Covid 19 and as a result, we had the opportunity to examine the test result from the Calgary lab. However, it was not until we read past the test result that questions started to surface.
As you can see, the specimen type is identified, nasal swab.
The method of testing is identified as NAT or PCR and ‘was performed using primers and probes targeting the E (envelope protein) gene of the SARS-CoV-2 virus DEVELOPED AT ProvLab.’ ProvLab is the Alberta Government testing lab with multiple sites for sample testing.
I was aware that the blue non-surgical masks people use across the world note on the box that they do not stop viruses or virus based infections, a fact which renders them largely useless for Covid prevention but I was not prepared for the disclaimer printed on the bottom of the test which reads:
“This method was validated at ProvLab. IT HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED OR APPROVED BY THE US FDA OR HEALTH CANADA AND RESULTS SHOULD BE INTERPRETED IN A CLINICAL CONTEXT.”
If this NAT/PCR test has NOT been approved by Health Canada OR the US FDA, then why is Alberta using it and how can we trust the results? According to the Health Canada website, “unauthorized tests may not produce accurate results, leading to potential misdiagnosis,” which could have dire consequences.
Checking into Health Canada, two facts can easily be found. Firstly, there are 102 Covid tests ‘under review’ at present, one of which may be this test executed by ProvLab of Calgary. The tests fall under three broad categories, Antigen, PCR and Serology with rapid and regular kits available to test for Covid 19, SARS and Influenza.

Potential patients who test positive may not be testing FOR Covid, but rather one of the family of Corona Viruses. Your mother, father, brother, sister or child could have a regular cold and have the luxury of 2 weeks in lockdown. There have been circumstances of individuals receiving the influenza vaccine testing positive FOR covid shortly thereafter.
And, a second and third verification from British Columbia and the FDA is below:
With a little research by a government friend, I was able to find the following out about the test and results directly from the Health Ministers Office.
“Alberta does not use a commercial test kit for the lab-based reverse transcriptase (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay used for diagnostic testing for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Alberta’s COVID-19 test was developed and validated at Alberta Precision Laboratories (APL) and the test was further validated by the National Microbiology Lab.
All PCR testing involves amplification cycles. The PCR test used in Alberta has been confirmed to be highly specific for SARS-CoV-2. It does not react to other viruses and it cannot amplify a negative sample into a positive.
Alberta is currently evaluation a rapid antigen test, the Abbott PanBio test, for use in Alberta and this test is being used in a limited number of real-world settings. It is important to note that these rapid POC testing technologies are not as sensitive and are limited in their testing capacity when compared with the existing diagnostic test currently used in the province. Due to their limitations, rapid POC tests cannot replace all existing testing and public health measures, and instead will be used to augment current testing program. The Government of Alberta, in partnership with Alberta Health Services, is committed to monitoring evolving testing evidence and technology to improve our testing approach.”
The National Microbiology Lab is Canada’s Level Four lab which signifies that they are able to safely test and respond to the world’s most dangerous infectious diseases such as the Ebola virus, toxigenic e-coli and also highly pathogenic influenzas. They were briefly mentioned in a 2019 ouster/defection of Chinese scientists including Xiangguo Qiu who was escorted out of the Winnipeg lab in July for a possible “policy breach.” Qiuu was invited to go to the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences twice a year for two years, for up to two weeks each time from 2017 to 2019. It has been suggested that this may be the source of the Wuhan Virus (Covid 2019).
Globally, PCR testing is considered to be the ‘gold standard,’ with high accuracy dependant on the sampling methodology. Yet the CDC has noted that false negatives are more prevalent than false positives. We must also consider the publicized case of Elon Musk who tested 4 times, 2 negative and 2 positive and the 50 % false results. Other studies have posited that accuracy may be as low as 10% or as high as 90%, with 20% being more common with 34 cycles for the test.
According to a British Columbia Centre for Disease Control report AND a FDA report, their evidence does not support the ‘gold standard,’ but rather that “The CT scan is not a gold standard for diagnosis of Covid 19 and scan cannot differentiate amongst the many microbiological causes of pneumonia.” (https://www.fda.gov/media/134922/download)
However, there is one salient point that detection of Covid 19 is dependant upon a purified sample from a patient that is not mixed with monkey or bovine material. To date, no pure samples are available and upon questioning of 34 jurisdictions (Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Scotland, the United Kingdom, United States (CDC) and others as shared on:
Health Canada has no record of “COVID-19 virus” isolation – Fluoride Free Peel
So, the question can be asked again, if the CDC does not have a pure sample and Health Canada does not have a pure sample, how can tests and vaccinations be produced? It has been noted widely that it took decades for Polio, the Influenza and other vaccines to be produced, yet we have hundreds of potential miracle cures for Covid 19 in less than a year? You have to wonder what kind of research and testing has been done? Is it possible that this really is a manmade virus (that is patented by the CDC) therefore a vaccine can be produced as the model IS known?
One potential answer given for the rapid development of vaccines is the similarity of Covid 19 to SARS and MERS. Promising research has indicated the presence of an E gene (Protein) that accompanies the virus which seems to accelerate its spread or to act as a retardant and which may be the key to halting its reach.
However, as noted, how long does good testing and development take that does not endanger human lives with potentially fatal unintended consequences?
There is another big story that has not been reported in Western media. In early November, the Portuguese courts have ruled that the PCR process is not a reliable test for Sars-Cov-2, and therefore any enforced quarantine based on those test results is unlawful and a violation of constitutional rights.
In addition, during their decision they cited a European study that showed that if more than 35 cycles are used in the test that the probability of actually detecting ‘real’ Covid 19 is 3 % and a 97 % probability for a false positive detection.
Portuguese Court Rules PCR Tests “Unreliable” & Quarantines “Unlawful”
The big question is, if we believe that a vaccine can help the world in the fight against Covid 19 in so quick a time and that desperate measures are justified in this fight against this unseen (and potentially imaginary) enemy then we are ripe for the Great Reset which has come into public knowledge this year under the guise of medical emergence, a fact which Justin Trudeau himself has made reference to at the UN in September!
If we hearken back to basic science and believe that vaccines cannot stop virus infections but rather good nutrition and healthy immune systems lead to efficient patient recoveries, then the citizens of the world will be able to counter the biological war that is in our borders.
To end off the thread on which this discussion started, on November 27, 2020 my family received a letter from my mothers’ retirement home (Revera) that calm states the following:
November 27, 2020
Dear Resident/Family Member at Aspen Ridge
I am writing to you to confirm that we have had no other residents at Aspen Ridge test
positive for COVID-19. With that being said, we have taken many residents off isolation today
due to a clerical error from AHS that resulted in a false positive reporting.
With that teaser, look for part II of Positive Corona Virus Diagnosis Errors…

Trudeau gov’t threatens to punish tech companies that fail to censor ‘disinformation’
From LifeSiteNews
A report from the House of Commons Heritage Committee claimed that ‘some individuals and groups create disinformation to promote political ideologies including extremist views and conspiracy theories or simply to make money.’
A report from a Canadian federal committee said MPs should enact laws to penalize social media and tech companies that don’t take action to quell so-called “undesirable or questionable” content on the internet.
MPs from the ruling Liberal, New Democratic Party (NDP), and separatists Bloc Québécois party on the House of Commons Heritage Committee summarized their opinions in a report.
“The Government of Canada notes some individuals and groups create disinformation to promote political ideologies including extremist views and conspiracy theories or simply to make money,” reads the report titled Tech Giants’ Intimidation and Subversion Tactics to Evade Regulation in Canada and Globally.
“Disinformation creates ‘doubt and confusion’ and can be particularly harmful when it involves health information,” it continues.
The report notes how such “disinformation” can cause “financial harms as well as political polarization and distrust in key institutions,” adding, “The prevalence of disinformation can be difficult to determine.”
As noted in Blacklock’s Reporter, the report claims that many of Canada’s “major societal harms” have come from “unregulated social media platforms relying on algorithms to amplify content, among them disinformation and conspiracy theories.”
Of note is the committee failed to define what “disinformation” or “conspiracy theories” meant.
Most of the MPs on the committee made the recommendation that Google, Facebook, and other social media platforms, which ironically have at one point or another clamped down on free speech themselves, “put mechanisms in place to detect undesirable or questionable content that may be the product of disinformation or foreign interference and that these platforms be required to promptly identify such content and report it to users.”
“Failure to do so should result in penalties,” the report stated.
As it stands, the federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has plowed ahead to push laws impacting free speech online.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Canadian legal group The Democracy Fund (TDF) warned that the Liberal government’s Bill C-63 seeks to further clamp down on online speech and will “weaponize” the nation’s courts to favor the ruling federal party and do nothing but create an atmosphere of “fear.”
Bill C-63 was introduced by Liberal Justice Minister Arif Virani in the House of Commons in February and was immediately blasted by constitutional experts as troublesome.
Jordan Peterson, one of Canada’s most prominent psychologists, recently accused the bill of attempting to create a pathway to allow for “Orwellian Thought Crime” to become the norm in the nation.
Conservative MPs fight back: ‘A government bureaucracy should not regulate content’
Conservative MPs fought back the Heritage Committee’s majority findings and in a Dissenting Report said the committee did not understand what the role of the internet is in society, which is that it should be free from regulation.
“The main report failed to adequately explore the state of censorship in Canada and the role played by tech giants and the current federal government,” the Conservatives wrote in their dissenting report, adding, “Canadians are increasingly being censored by the government and tech giants as to what they can see, hear and say online.”
The Conservative MPs noted that when it comes to the internet, it is “boundless,” and that “Anyone who wants to have a presence on the internet can have one.”
“A government bureaucracy should not regulate which content should be prioritized and which should be demoted,” it noted, adding, “There is space for all.”
LifeSiteNews reported how the Conservative Party has warned that Trudeau’s Bill C-63 is so flawed that it will never be able to be enforced or become known before the next election.
The law calls for the creation of a Digital Safety Commission, a digital safety ombudsperson, and the Digital Safety Office, all tasked with policing internet content.
The bill’s “hate speech” section is accompanied by broad definitions, severe penalties, and dubious tactics, including levying pre-emptive judgments against people if they are feared to be likely to commit an act of “hate” in the future.
Details of the new legislation also show the bill could lead to more people jailed for life for “hate crimes” or fined $50,000 and jailed for posts that the government defines as “hate speech” based on gender, race, or other categories.

Blue Cross Blue Shield forced to pay $12 million to Catholic worker fired for refusing COVID shots
From LifeSiteNews
A jury ruled that Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan committed religious discrimination against 30-year IT specialist and Catholic Lisa Domski when it denied her a religious accommodation from the company’s COVID shot mandate.
A former IT specialist for Blue Cross Blue Shield has been awarded $12 million in damages and lost wages for her lawsuit over being fired for refusing the COVID-19 shot, in a major victory for religious liberty.
Newsweek reports that the insurance company fired 30-year employee Lisa Domski in 2021 after she sought a religious exemption to their jab mandate and was turned down. The insurer reportedly questioned the sincerity of her religious objections as a Catholic, but denied religious discrimination in the trial.
Domski further maintained that the rationale behind mandating the shot didn’t apply in her case, as 75% of her work was remote before the pandemic and had shifted to fully remote during it, meaning she could not possibly have endangered others even if the shot did prevent transmission, which has since been admitted to not be the case.
“Our forefathers fought and died for the freedom for each American to practice his or her own religion,” declared her attorney Jon Marko. “Neither the government nor a corporation has a right to force an individual to choose between his or her career and conscience. Lisa refused to renounce her faith and beliefs and was wrongfully terminated from the only job she had ever known. The jury’s verdict today tells [Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan] that religious discrimination has no place in America and affirms each person’s right to religious freedom.”
In response, the company said it was “disappointed” in the jury verdict and would be “reviewing its legal options and will determine its path forward in the coming days.”
Many religious and pro-life Americans like Lisa Domski have a moral objection to using medical products whose existence is owed in some way to abortion.
According to a detailed overview by the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute, Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson all used aborted fetal cells during their vaccines’ testing phase; and Johnson & Johnson also used the cells during the design and development and production phases. The American Association for the Advancement of Science’s journal Science has admitted the same, and even the left-wing fact-checking outlet Snopes acknowledges the statement “that such cell lines were used in the development of COVID-19 vaccines is accurate.”
Moral qualms are just one of the reasons for the ongoing controversy, next to a large body of evidence identifying significant risks to the COVID shots, which were developed and reviewed in a fraction of the time vaccines usually take under the first Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed initiative.
The federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports 38,068 deaths, 218,646 hospitalizations, 22,002 heart attacks, and 28,706 myocarditis and pericarditis cases as of October 25, among other ailments. U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) researchers have recognized a “high verification rate of reports of myocarditis to VAERS after mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination,” leading to the conclusion that “under-reporting is more likely” than over-reporting.
An analysis of 99 million people across eight countries published February in the journal Vaccine “observed significantly higher risks of myocarditis following the first, second and third doses” of mRNA-based COVID shots, as well as signs of increased risk of “pericarditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis,” and other “potential safety signals that require further investigation.” In April, the CDC was forced to release by court order 780,000 previously undisclosed reports of serious adverse reactions, and a study out of Japan found “statistically significant increases” in cancer deaths after third doses of mRNA-based COVID-19 jabs and offered several theories for a causal link.
All eyes are currently on former President Donald Trump, who last week won his campaign to return to the White House and whose team has given mixed signals as to the prospects of reconsidering the shots for which he has long taken credit. At the very least, Trump has consistently opposed mandating them and is expected to fill more federal judicial vacancies with jurists favorably inclined to the rights of employees in similar lawsuits.
Meanwhile, some hope that legal action can succeed in bringing accountability on the issue by legally targeting the companies for misrepresentation rather than their products directly. In Florida, an ongoing grand jury investigation into the shots’ manufacturers is slated to release a highly anticipated report on the injections, and a lawsuit by the state of Kansas has been filed accusing Pfizer of fraud for calling the shots “safe and effective.”
