Tarnishing Terry Fox’s Legacy
September 16, 2024
As many loyal readers are probably well aware, I have been attending the Terry Fox Run for many years now, dating back to my time in the Old Country. My first such run came in 2007 when I accompanied Carli Ward, whose father came in from New Brunswick to push her in a wheelchair. Even before she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, she had admired Terry Fox and had attended previous runs held in Winnipeg. So since that time, I have made every effort to continue that tradition in her honor. (Fun fact: Did you know that I attended the same elementary school Terry Fox did when he lived in Winnipeg?)
Yet in recent years, it has been increasingly difficult to put in an appearance, as it was yesterday. That’s because the foundation which bears Terry’s name has been seriously tarnishing his legacy.
Two years ago, the organizing committee here in St. Catharines did the unthinkable and gave a courage award to Chris Bittle, our smug and ultra-pompous Liberal MP. The same Chris Bittle whose government has been responsible for pushing cancer-creating toxic bioweapons fraudulently marketed as “vaccines” on Canadians. His party’s leader, in fact, openly said, “Should we tolerate these people?” in reference to those of us who refused the injections. Though Bittle and others tout all the advances made in curing cancer, those injections his government coerced Canadians into taking have caused cancer rates to skyrocket ever since the initial rollout. Today, almost all of us know someone who’s been affected. No one on the organizing committee can claim ignorance. You know what’s going on or you just don’t want to know. There’s no middle ground.
And now that courage award is named for the IceDogs. The same Niagara IceDogs, in keeping with OHL policy, that forced its players to make a choice between taking multiple injections of that toxic bioweapon or giving up their dreams of becoming the next great NHL superstar. And the same IceDogs that, again, in keeping with OHL policy, refused entry to those with their DNA still intact even before People’s Commissar Ford imposed a similar edict.
While listening to the speakers, I felt like I had done more to fight cancer in supporting a freedom movement like the PPC and going to see party leader Maxime Bernier the previous day than I did by attending the Terry Fox Run. As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope in 1980 to raise money and awareness for cancer research in the hopes of wiping out cancer.
Not to honor those who create more of it.
