Gilbert McInnis on his new book: The Needle and the Damage Done

Comprehensive account of the events in Canada 2020 - present day.
A Totalitarian coup to say the least.

Dr. Gilbert McInnis talks to me about his latest book. The Needle and the Damage Done.
Lawfare. Techno Fascism. His bank account was frozen. The Freedom Convoy, boots on the ground. Authoritarian moves. He was in Prague in 1988 during the Cultural Revolution and we compare it to the Berlin Wall, and to the Convoy as a last stand.
There are people fighting for us in the courts and in every area of Canada. We don't yet have Communism!

Gilbert McInnis had invested countless hours in his professional writing outside the classroom as a journalist. For instance, while working for two English newspapers in Quebec, he wrote successful stories (digital and print) about issues in politics, economics, and culture. Likewise, he was successful as a writer in Quebec because of his ability to translate from French to English. He learned to be a good translator because the majority of the newsmakers he published stories about were primarily French speaking.
