    Is she a SPY?!

    A Canadian cleared to work inside NATO’s military headquarters is now in Belgian custody, accused of espionage.But this episode isn’t about deciding whether she’s guilty. That allegation remains unproven.It’s about what was already sitting in the public record before she ever got there.In 2023, the Public Service Commission of Canada found that Biwei Zhang had committed fraud during a federal hiring process after applying twice for the same CBSA position under two different names and email addresses. She challenged that finding in Federal Court. The court dismissed her application, leaving the finding in place.Roughly eleven months later, she began working inside SHAPE — NATO’s military headquarters in Belgium — after going through Canadian security screening.So the question is simple: **Did the screening process find the Federal Court decision?**If it did, who decided the documented finding of dishonesty wasn’t disqualifying?If it didn’t, how did a published Federal Court judgment get missed?In this episode, Kelsi breaks down what Belgian authorities have actually said, Zhang’s employment history, the previous fraud finding, Canada’s security-clearance process, the enormous volume of screenings handled by CSIS, and why the implications go far beyond one individual case.This is not an episode about treating Chinese-Canadians with suspicion. It is about whether Canada’s security-screening system is doing what Canadians — and our allies — assume it does.**CHAPTERS**0:00 The document that was public the whole time2:25 What Belgium actually said, and what it did not4:15 The resume5:45 The fraud finding7:15 Eleven months8:15 Two possible answers, and three agencies pointing at each other11:15 129,740 screenings in one year12:45 What a clearance used to mean13:45 The China question, carefully15:15 What this episode is not about16:45 What the real damage is18:45 The one question I want answeredBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenDo No Harm? - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1683585763?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_SC8YGT87SPJ1VB8SAYP1Let's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

    Why did Canada return money meant for homeless veterans?

    Ukraine has asked Canada to consider a C$650 million grant to help purchase natural gas for the coming winter. That request was discussed during a meeting between Ukraine's Energy Minister and Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, according to Ukraine's government and Bloomberg. At the time this episode was written, there was no public confirmation from the Government of Canada that the request had been approved.But this episode isn't really about Ukraine.It's about priorities.While a proposed C$650 million grant is under discussion, Canada's entire Veteran Homelessness Program is funded at $79.1 million over five years. Food bank usage has reached record highs, and internal records cited in this episode suggest millions allocated for veteran homelessness went unspent. The question isn't whether Ukraine deserves support—it's whether Canadians deserve the same urgency when facing crises at home.In this episode, Kelsi examines:What was actually requested during the Canada–Ukraine energy meetingThe difference between a grant and a loanCanada's existing financial commitments to UkraineThe state of veteran homelessness in CanadaRecord food bank usage across the countryWhether Canada's spending priorities reflect the needs of CanadiansAs always, this conversation is grounded in publicly available reporting and government data. Where facts remain unconfirmed, they're presented as questions—not conclusions.If you found this episode valuable, please consider subscribing, sharing it with someone who cares about Canadian policy, and joining the discussion in the comments.Sources referenced include:BloombergGovernment of CanadaPrime Minister's OfficeFood Banks CanadaBlacklock's ReporterUkraine Ministry of EnergyUNNPublic statements by Denys Shmyhal0:00 Two numbers2:15 What Ukraine actually asked for4:00 Grant is not the same word as loan5:15 What Canada has already sent6:45 Two point two million food bank visits8:15 Eighteen hundred veterans, seventy-nine million dollars11:45 The three million we handed back13:45 The honest case for saying yes15:15 The question nobody has answered16:45 Where I land18:45 Two things you can doBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenDo No Harm? - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1683585763?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_SC8YGT87SPJ1VB8SAYP1Let's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

    Chaplains cannot say God at Remembrance Day

    On July 29, 2026, the Canadian Armed Forces quietly issued a new instruction governing what military chaplains may say during official ceremonies. There was no bill, no parliamentary debate, no committee hearing, and no vote—just a policy document posted to a government website. Four days later, it was already in effect.This episode examines what CAFMPI 03/26 actually says, what changed from the 2023 guidance it replaced, and why I believe the biggest story isn't what most people are arguing about online.I also explain where I think critics have overstated the policy. The instruction does not prohibit chaplains from praying at funerals, conducting religious services, providing private pastoral care, or wearing religious dress. Those claims don't survive a reading of the document, and I don't make them.Instead, I focus on a different question: how guidance became permanent policy, how its scope expanded beyond chaplains, and why I believe Canadians should pay attention when significant changes occur through administrative directives rather than public debate.I also examine one section almost no one is discussing—paragraphs 4.5 through 4.9—and ask why one set of traditions may remain within military ceremonies while another is moved outside them. Finally, I end with the one question I believe deserves a clear public answer before this Remembrance Day:**Does CAFMPI 03/26 apply to a military repatriation (ramp) ceremony?**If the Office of the Chaplain General responds to my written request, I'll publish that response in full, whether it supports my conclusions or not.Every source is linked below.**CHAPTERS**0:00 Nobody voted on this2:30 What changed since 20234:00 What the order says, including Remembrance Day5:30 Where the outrage gets it wrong7:00 How a right actually disappears8:15 Paragraph 4.911:45 The strongest case for the policy13:30 The ceremony that is not in the document14:00What rights are for14:30 The question I want answered before November 11Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenDo No Harm? - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1683585763?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_SC8YGT87SPJ1VB8SAYP1Let's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

    Britain built this ten years ago. Canada just started copying it.

    In 2023, Edmonton Police expanded online reporting to include hate incidents—conduct that is not a crime—and allowed reports to be filed on behalf of someone else. In 2024, Crime Stoppers, EPS and the Government of Alberta launched buses displaying: "See hate. Report hate." In 2026, Parliament passed Bill C-9 with Liberal and Bloc support despite opposition from the Conservatives, NDP, Greens and more than 40 civil society organizations, including the CBA, CCLA, CLC and Egale.Britain adopted a similar system in 2014. Since then, police have recorded 133,000+ non-crime hate incidents. In 2023, 37 police forces made 12,183 arrests over electronic communications, with fewer than 1,119 convictions. In 2021, the Court of Appeal ruled the recording guidance had a chilling effect on free expression.**This episode examines that history, explains what Bill C-9 actually changed, corrects two claims circulating online that describe the bill as introduced rather than as passed, and explains why I believe these developments matter.

    "She Said No..." An 83-Year-Old Woman's Final Days Has One Family Speaking Out

    An 83-year-old Ontario woman told her family that MAiD conflicted with her Christian faith. She declined. Two months later, according to her family, the discussions restarted while her power of attorney was out of the country, her capacity was assessed in a meeting her family calls a farce, and her application was completed and witnessed by the facility’s own staff after the date had already been set.This is a reconstruction of the last ten days of Brigitte "GG" Stegemann, built from her family’s written public statement, an 80-minute recorded interview with her granddaughter and power of attorney, and the provisions of Canada’s Criminal Code governing medical assistance in dying.The family has formally requested the underlying records — the death certificate, both eligibility assessments, the signed request and the identity of its witness, the medication administration records, and any waiver of final consent. None had been produced at the time of publication. Requests for comment were made to the physician and to the nursing home; neither chose to respond. The practitioners are not named in this episode. They will be identified once records confirm their identities, and each will be given the opportunity to respond before that happens.Chapters:0:00 The date came before the paperwork1:15 Who GG was, and the twelve years before this3:40 She said no, and she said why4:30 Ten days away, and the meetings nobody mentioned6:10 The medication record that cannot explain Monday8:00 What happened in the room before the doctor arrived10:30 Tuesday: the capacity assessment13:30 How twelve years of power of attorney ended in minutes15:00 The application the manager says she filled out herself17:00 What Canadian law actually permits18:00 Wednesday: the question she asked her granddaughter19:40 Friday morning: the patio, the line, the silence22:20 Four questions, four pieces of paper25:00 What the family is doing nowLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

    FAUCI Lack of Accountability

    Anthony Fauci appeared before the Senate under subpoena on July 29, 2026, and declined to answer the committee's questions, invoking his Fifth Amendment right. He had already received a preemptive pardon from President Joe Biden before any criminal charges had been filed.This episode examines the accountability questions surrounding that decision: what a preemptive pardon actually protects, why Fauci's attorneys still advised him to remain silent, why the committee chairman now says the underlying legal issue has never been tested in court, and why Canada—which used the Inquiries Act to investigate the Emergencies Act—has never opened a national inquiry into its own pandemic response.I also explain where I stand on COVID-19 origins, and why. The FBI, the Department of Energy, and the CIA have all assessed a laboratory origin as the more likely explanation, while China has withheld the records that could help settle the question for six years. That is my position, clearly identified as my opinion, with the supporting sources below so you can evaluate the evidence for yourself.Every source is linked—including sources that disagree with me.SourcesSenate HSGAC hearing page — https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/hearings/testimony-of-anthony-fauci/Hearing video (C-SPAN) — https://www.c-span.org/event/senate-committee/dr-anthony-fauci-testifies-on-the-covid-19-pandemic/445410Diary package (Sen.

    Harvard and two Canadian doctors want this rule “reassessed”

    A new paper in the New England Journal of Medicine—written by two Canadian critical-care physicians and a Harvard Medical School bioethicist—asks whether the dead donor rule should be "reassessed" for MAiD patients. Specifically, it explores whether organs could be retrieved while a patient is sedated, unconscious, and still alive, with the organ retrieval itself becoming the cause of death.As reported by the National Post, the authors argue that requiring a formal declaration of death before organ retrieval may be "ethically arbitrary," and describe the proposal as "a Pareto improvement: no one would be made worse off."In this episode, we break down:- What the paper actually says, including its important caveats. The authors are not calling for the dead donor rule to be abandoned, no jurisdiction is currently considering this proposal, and they explicitly call for "open, transparent dialogue."- Why this proposal has unmistakable Canadian fingerprints. Canada now leads the world in organ donation after MAiD, with 41 cases in 2021 compared with 20 combined across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain. Since 2016, there have been more than 155 MAiD organ donors in Canada.- The five-minute "no-touch" protocol that currently separates death from organ retrieval, and why some researchers believe it should be reconsidered.- The objections from within the medical ethics community, including bioethicist Lainie Friedman Ross, who told NPR: "Which I think is murder."- The broader pattern: 2016 (terminal illness only), 2021 (terminal illness requirement removed), and March 2027 (mental illness eligibility). The phrase "No one is proposing that" has often meant "not yet published." This proposal is now published in one of the world's leading medical journals.I warned for years that euthanasia and organ donation were on a path toward convergence and was repeatedly told it was misinformation.Now, the discussion is appearing in a peer-reviewed medical journal.SOURCESSharon Kirkey, "'Death by organ donation': Doctors raise possibility of retrieving organs from MAID patients while they are still alive," National Post (July 23, 2026):https://unpublished.ca/news-feed-item/2026-07-23/death-by-organ-donation-doctors-raise-possibility-of-retrieving-organs"Contextualizing the Dead Donor Rule in an Era of Voluntary Euthanasia," New England Journal of Medicine:https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMms2601611NPR – Lainie Friedman Ross interview:https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/npr/nx-s1-5883714/a-new-proposal-for-organ-donation-sparks-concernCanadian Blood Services – Professional guidance on organ donation and MAiD:https://professionaleducation.blood.ca/en/organs-and-tissues/professional-guidance/deceased-donation-after-maidNational Post (prior reporting) – American recipient of a heart from an Ontario ALS patient who died by MAiD:https://ca.news.yahoo.com/american-man-gets-heart-38-110042532.htmlPRE-ORDERDo No Harm?: How the Healthcare Industry Legalized Murder (Skyhorse, March 2027)https://www.amazon.com/dp/151078893XBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenDo No Harm? - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1683585763?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_SC8YGT87SPJ1VB8SAYP1Let's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

    Ford’s biggest executed threat lasted about 24 hours

    "We are an energy powerhouse, and we can dismantle the U.S. if we wanted to—if we all work together."Those were Ontario Premier Doug Ford's words after Washington announced new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods.In this episode, I don't play the eight-second clip—I read the entire transcript.We compare Ford's claims about Canada's leverage—electricity, oil, and potash—against the tariff proclamations, the exemption list, and what actually happened after his promises in March 2025.What happened?• "Cut off their energy."• "Go back twice as hard."• Stop nickel shipments.• Shut off electricity.Ontario's electricity surcharge lasted one day before it was suspended for trade talks—and it never returned.This isn't an argument for surrender. It's about the difference between the strong play and the loud play—and what happens when rhetoric and results don't match.CHAPTERS00:00 The Quote — All of It01:45 What Was Said in Charlottetown04:00 The Map of the Room06:00 Whose Levers?08:00 The Tape: March 202510:00 Sponsor11:15 Three Things to Watch13:30 My Verdict15:00 Watch the Sixteen MinutesSOURCESBarrie 360https://barrie360.com/doug-ford-canada-dismantle-us-trump-tariffs-premiers-meeting/Radio-Canadahttps://ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/2270786/council-of-the-federation-meeting-prince-edward-islandGlobal Newshttps://globalnews.ca/video/11974436/we-can-dismantle-the-u-s-doug-ford-other-canadian-premiers-react-to-trump-50-tariff-threatInvestment Executivehttps://www.investmentexecutive.com/news/economy/ford-says-canada-can-dismantle-u-s-ahead-of-meeting-between-carney-and-premiers/NPRhttps://www.npr.org/2026/07/21/nx-s1-5901905/trump-imposes-tariffs-canadian-goodsABC Newshttps://abcnews.com/Politics/trump-slaps-additional-50-tariff-canadian-goods/story?id=134929955CBChttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ford-election-win-tariffs-eve-1.7472940The Hillhttps://thehill.com/policy/international/5173914-ontario-premier-doug-ford-tariff-threat/KARE 11https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/gov-walz-ontario-premier-doug-ford-electricity-shut-off-threat/89-7fc8a6c4-76eb-49c0-891d-57e32d96cbf2CNBChttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/11/ontarios-ford-suspends-us-electric-surcharge-says-lutnick-agrees-to-trade-talks.htmlCBChttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/trump-ford-ontario-electricity-tariffs-trade-war-1.7480234Global Newshttps://globalnews.ca/news/11081246/ontario-ford-keep-energy-tariff-paused/CBChttps://www.cbc.ca/lite/story/1.7486948📖 PRE-ORDERhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/151078893X?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback☕ Buy Me a Coffeehttps://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenSubstackhttps://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumblehttps://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspectiveXhttps://x.com/KelsisherenKetone IQhttps://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livinhttps://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unityhttp://www.brassandunity.com
