Trudeau Government Funding Research Project That’s Partnering With Chinese Lab Where COVID-19 May Have Started
DAILY CALLER ^ | April 19, 2020 | David Krayden, Ottawa Bureau Chief

Canada’s Trudeau government is reportedly FUNDING a University of Alberta project that is collaborating with the Wuhan Institute of Virology — the Chinese lab that may have spawned the coronavirus.

The federal government has provided an $828,000 grant to professor Le Xiaochun, who is an environmental toxicology researcher at the Edmonton, Alberta academic facility, the Globe and Mail reported Saturday.[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-ottawa-funds-covid-19-research-project-that-is-collaborating-with/]

President Donald Trump said Friday he will end federal funding established by his predecessor, President Barack Obama in 2015, for the Chinese lab. Numerous reports have cited the lab as the place where the COVID-19 virus originated and was subsequently leaked to the local community — wreaking a devastating loss in human lives.

At the daily coronavirus task force news conference, the president was asked why the National Institutes of Health was including the Chinese laboratory in a $3.7 million dollar stipend to conduct research.

Prof. Le’s research team is working with scientists from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in an effort to create coronavirus detection procedures that would be provided to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for verification.

The Trudeau government has not explained why, with all the controversy surrounding it, the Wuhan lab was named as a partner in the research project.

Funding for the initiative is provided by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), via Canadian Health Minister Patty Hajdu. Hajdu has been a vocal critic of those who did not accept China’s early estimates of its coronavirus deaths, accusing a journalist who questioned that data of spreading “conspiracy” theories.

“There is no indication that the data that came out of China in terms of their infection rate, and their death rate, was falsified in any way,” she told reporters in Ottawa.

Hajdu’s spokesman, Cole Davidson, told the Globe and Mail that all CIHR projects are subject to a “rigorous peer review” by “expert scientists in an impartial, objective and fair manner.”

That lab apparently does sloppy work. They’ve been studying bat coronavirus transmissions for many years and it now looks like were the source that let it jump to humans. Photos from the lab website show poorly maintained equipment and inadequate worker protective equipment.

Patty Hajdu qualified???

WIKI BIO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patty_Hajdu
Early life and education

Born in Montreal, she spent her early years in Chisholm, Minnesota with her brother Sean Patrick Hajdu (1969-2003), raised by her aunt and uncle. Her Hungarian last name comes from her stepfather.

At 12 years old, Hajdu moved to Thunder Bay to live with her mother. Due to a tumultuous relationship, she ended up living on her own at age 16, attempting to finish high school. After graduating high school, she got a job in Thunder Bay through an employment-insurance initiative, at a non-profit adult-literacy group, where she trained in graphic design.

Hajdu then attended Lakehead University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts. In 2015, she received a Master of Public Administration from the University of Victoria.

Career

Hajdu worked mainly in the field of harm prevention, homelessness, and substance misuse prevention, including nine years as the head of the drug awareness committee of the Thunder Bay District Health Unit. She also worked as a creative director and graphic designer in marketing. Prior to her election in 2015 she was the executive director at Shelter House, the city’s largest homeless shelter.
On November 4, 2015, she was appointed the Minister of Status of Women in the federal Cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

That doesn't sound like it's in China.

This backs up what a client involved in medical research told me a few weeks ago , that the virus originated in Canada and was transferred to China.

While this is despicable, didn’t we also see that our own government funded this Chinese facility in a major way?

“While this is despicable, didn’t we also see that our own government funded this Chinese facility in a major way?”

That’s what i thought, Old Man.

There is EVIL in this world. Millions of lives are being sacrificed to it. Witness events.

No call for investigation into root cause. No incontroveritble proof of root cause. No Nuremberg style trials. No destruction of L4 labs. No lab directors questioned. No protests around the labs. No heat from politicians, countries, intel agencies, U.N. No platform propagandists curious. Sweep, sweep until template is put into use again. 2020. Plausible deniability for any EVIL actors. See your enemies. All defense all the time.

Take care.
