You can pretend that they don't want you dead...
but in actuality...

It started with the coalition government coming after your vitamins and supplements…lead into them wanting to reduce methane - which we all know means culling of herds to extinction and now they are coming after your vegetables too.

The New P2 plastic ban would thrust us back into 1970s-80s era for fruit and vegetables where a lot of items weren’t available year round, seasonally and locally grown only, and rotted in the grocery bags before you got them home.

On top of this, because of the added spoilage, in store, you can count on any item that is available to be a lot more expensive.

You see, in the 3% earnings that grocery stores are making, things like theft, spoilage and returned items that cannot be resold are factored in…and when you increase one of these factors, stores will consequentially push these prices on to YOU.

Now…look at affordability, where we’re at right now.

A lot of people aren’t able to buy a lot of fruits and only essentials on some veg and are instead subbing in ZERO value fillers to complete their meals…again, just like we did in the 70s-80s. Rice, pasta or potatoes as meal fillers…potatoes as available.

And when you consider that the processed grains are leading to the on-growing problem of obesity and malnutrition…you’d have to wonder why anybody would make these more abundant for consumption by driving up the costs and lowering availability of better quality foods…if they cared about their health.

As for beef, in case you missed it, 3 days ago the government released this:

So, a couple of days ago my wife strained her back from working out a little too intensely (going for a personal best deadlift). She was in pain and couldn’t sleep or get comfortable, as anyone who has dealt with a sore back knows.
Normally she would have grabbed the Advil/Tylenol and maybe the Rebaxacol?, but I convinced her to let me apply some DMSO (75% concentration) on her sore back. She was very skeptical but I have had pretty great results using it on a severely sprained ankle and on a deep deep laceration on my hand.
Within in 15 minutes of application, her pain subsided dramatically and she was able to move freely without tending up.
The next day she woke up sore and stiff again so I applied the DMSO again. It worked to dramatically reduce the pain again.
That evening the pain slowly reappeared and she didn’t want to reapply the DMSO as it is kind of smelly and it irritates the skin somewhat, so I gave her 1ml of liquid CBD oil (Frank CBD 100mg/g). Her pain was pretty much ...

NEWS: Lawyer Shawn Buckley from Natural Health Product Protection Association (NHPPA) fights against Health Canada attack on Natural Health Products
WILLIAM MAKIS NOV 1

Right now, Health Canada is quietly moving to reclassify natural health products (vitamins, minerals, herbal remedies, traditional medicines, etc.) as if they were pharmaceutical drugs — giving the agency sweeping new powers to impose massive compliance fees, fines, and criminal penalties that could wipe out small and mid-sized producers.

This isn’t just a Canadian issue.
It’s a testing ground for a global regulatory model that could soon spread to the United States, the UK, and Europe — centralizing control over natural and alternative health options under the banner of “safety.”

To raise awareness, NHPPA is on a cross-Canada “Health Charter Tour” (Oct 4–25, 2025) — driving a classic VW van from Victoria to Ottawa to deliver over 150,000 physical petition signatures to Parliament.
