These stories only get worse.

At Herron nursing home, the wife died in a room shared by a married couple. Her body was left in there for a day. The husband had Alzheimer’s. Every few hours, he checked on his spouse and rediscovered that she had died.

"COVID-19 was repeatedly cited as a cause of death at the Herron nursing home to obscure the fact that dozens of elderly residents died from thirst, malnourishment and neglect, a Quebec coroner’s inquest heard Tuesday."

"A recurring theme in the auxiliary nurse’s testimony was the lack of humanity afforded to dying residents and their relatives. One appeared to have died of thirst after being forgotten in his room."

Tomorrow people are expected to protest at La Cage restaurant in Quebec City because the location is set to collaborate with the Quebec government in a pilot program to test the vaccine passport software before its provincial-wide rollout on Sept 1.

Since the announcement of the pilot program at that location, the google rating has gone from 4 stars to 1 star.

Another bar that is collaborating with the Quebec government in a pilot program to test the vaccine passport software before its provincial-wide rollout on Sept 1 is having its Google ratings similarly downgraded.

Education “expert” and teacher praised by mainstream media pleads guilty of voyeurism on teenagers

@WestphalianNews

In September 2020, undercover police followed Lamarre into the Montreal underground subway, where he was caught filming under teenager’s skirts as they went up an electronic staircase.

Only a few weeks ago, and months after he was caught filming teenagers, the popular Quebec media La Presse ran a story about Lamarre.

The story titled “A male teacher, what’s the difference?” expanded on Lamarre’s idea that male teachers should be more valued.

Report finds that the pandemic increased “state repression around the world” and was used as “cover” to “consolidate authority”

@WestphalianNews

westphaliantimes.com/report-finds-t…

The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) found that “as a global emergency, the pandemic offered unique opportunities — and cover — for those in power to institute a wide range of new restrictions and pass sweeping legislation”.

“Some capitalized on the occasion to bolster their position and consolidate authority, contributing to democratic backsliding. Others selectively enforced legislation or restrictions as a means to stifle opposition and to limit any challenge to power."

The statue and plaque of the James McGill statue has been removed by McGill University just now.

Reporting for @WestphalianNews in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

A few nights ago the James McGill statue was vandalized at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

It was not publicly announced that the statue would be removed today. In the past, the University administration had said they would not remove it.

The McGill University security is telling the media that if they do not leave McGill property, they will call the police on them.

Why does McGill University not want people to know that they removed its founder’s statue?

The crew has put a barricade up so the public cannot see.
