• COVID vaccine-injury testimony finally reached Parliament Hill. Over the course of four days during the Allison Inquiry, vaccine-injured Canadians, as well as doctors and scientists, put vaccine safety, mandates, censorship and government decision-making on the public record—fueling fresh demands for answers, accountability and a full investigation.
• Canada’s mainstream media is finally reporting on the push for COVID-era accountability. After the Allison Inquiry, the Toronto Sun is openly calling for resignations and a full public inquiry—a major shift for a debate long confined largely to independent media. The headline is not subtle either: “Allison Inquiry must now lead to resignations and full public inquiry.” The subhead goes further: “Biggest health policy mistake in Canadian history at best, or crime against humanity at worst.” 
• The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is preparing a new clinical research program to investigate persistent health problems reported after vaccination—including COVID-19 vaccination. In a recent internal meeting, officials at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) discussed plans for a new research center on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, that could start up in mid-October.
• Neighbours in southwestern New Brunswick are trading time instead of money. The Charlotte County Time Bank has already logged nearly 400 hours exchanged since its launch last year. Help someone for an hour, earn a credit, then spend it on an hour of help you need.
• Local electricity sharing is taking off in Switzerland. Just six months after new rules allowed local electricity communities, researchers identified 1,323 such communities currently operating—letting neighbours produce, share and sell locally generated renewable power.
• Farmers have won a legally enforceable right to many of the same John Deere repair tools available to authorized dealers. Under an FTC settlement, John Deere must now provide farmers and independent shops access to diagnostic software, parts-pairing, fault-code resets and other repair resources for the next 10 years.
• The retreat from Flock licence-plate surveillance is growing. Florida revoked permits for automated plate readers on state highways, while in Texas at least 14 cities and counties have shut off more than 900 Flock cameras since state funding was cut.
• The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has banned telecom activation and modification fees. New federal telecom rules are now in effect, prohibiting charges incurred because a customer activates or changes a cellphone or internet plan, subject to limited exceptions.
• A victory for Canadians exercising their right to peacefully scrutinize public officials: Every criminal charge against a Toronto man who was auditing and filming police has been withdrawn. After more than a year in criminal proceedings, the Crown dropped the final harassment charge against Charter auditor Chad Briand, following the earlier withdrawal of two obstruction charges. The charges stemmed from Briand filming police activity from public property outside a Toronto police station in February 2025.
• A major new protection for off-duty free speech is now law in Alberta. The province just brought its Regulated Professions Neutrality Act—informally dubbed the “Peterson Law”—into force for most regulated professions, restricting regulators from disciplining members for views they express outside of work. The protections will expand to teachers in January 2027 and health professionals in August 2027.
• One of New York’s largest hospital systems will no longer provide puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or gender-transition surgeries to minors. Under an agreement with the US Department of Justice, Mount Sinai Health System will end those interventions, pay a monetary penalty, and dedicate $2 million in free medical care for people suffering harmful consequences from gender-transition treatments they received as children. The settlement is part of a broader federal investigation into pediatric gender-transition medicine. Similar agreements have already been reached with Texas Children’s Hospital, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Connecticut Children’s Hospital.
• Twenty-five years after 9/11, questions about the attacks are still being asked publicly—and on a major stage. The Turning the Tide: 9/11—25 Years Later conference brought more than 40 family members, first responders, researchers, journalists and advocates together in New York City for four days of presentations, testimony and debate. Organizers focused on evidence and unanswered questions they argue official investigations never adequately addressed, while calling for greater transparency, accountability, and continued public scrutiny.
• General Mills has officially removed certified (artificial) colours from every cereal it sells in the United States—including Trix and Lucky Charms. The company completed the change in August, fulfilling its summer 2026 commitment, and says 90% of its entire US retail portfolio is now made without certified colours. General Mills plans to eliminate them from all remaining US retail products by the end of 2027.
• Questioning vaccine policy is no longer a fringe position in America. A new Politico/Public First poll of 3,851 US adults found 47% believe parents should be the final decision-makers about their children’s health—even when that means rejecting expert recommendations—while another 47% prioritize an individual’s right to make their own medical decisions over public-health considerations. Meanwhile, 46% said vaccine science remains open to debate and that enforcing uptake can be harmful, compared with 39% who hold the opposing view.
