Good morning,

I am writing to you to express my extreme dismay that Interior Health and the City of West Kelowna have chosen to take the side of the aggressor and fine Iron Energy, as well as refuse to renew its business license, for the simple reason that its managers have exercised their unalienable Constitutional rights to earn a living and participate in society.

As a resident of Kelowna, unfortunately I live too far away to avail myself of Iron Energy’s services; however I feel very strongly that gyms (and many other businesses) throughout this province are being persecuted and unfairly attacked by our public officials. Dr. Henry has not provided any evidence showing that gyms are a “superspreader”, and indeed it is the antithesis of public health to bankrupt gyms while allowing alcohol, cannabis and fast food to be sold. I also note that Scandia is currently open; I was there this weekend and it was packed with people touching video games and failing to social distance. How is this safer than going to the gym? These mandates must be rejected as being illogical and discriminatory on their face.

It is time for officials within this province to defend their citizens against the current public health tyranny that is being forced upon each of us. I encourage each one of you to start asking logical questions, and stop acting as Dr. Henry’s henchmen. While we are on this topic, it is ridiculous that, given the fact that over 80% of COVID-19 “cases” are in the vaccinated, that the unvaccinated are being prevented from accessing gyms, restaurants and public amenities. There is no logic behind any of the current public health policies, and the only conclusion one can reach is that the mandates have little to do with public health, and everything to do with punishing people who do not conform to the current diktats.

I encourage each of you to look within, and to take your role as our representatives and defenders in society seriously. The narrative is crumbling, and I truly hope that each of you wants to be on the right side of history when all of the corruption and deceit of the past 21 months is exposed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and for understanding that our freedom as a society is the true issue at stake currently.
