Show Notes
A reflective conversation with Ken Drysdale recorded during the NHPPA Health Charter Tour event at Biker’s Church in Ottawa. Ken explains the origins and structure of the National Citizens Inquiry, a citizen-funded and citizen-run quasi-judicial inquiry formed to examine how governments at all levels handled COVID-related policies. He describes the unprecedented scope of the inquiry, which heard testimony from 305 witnesses across eight Canadian cities, producing a comprehensive public report exceeding 5,000 pages, including a 664-page written analysis. Ken outlines how the inquiry was designed to be accessible to everyday Canadians through plain language, a detailed table of contents, and freely available online access. He reflects on the emotional and social impact of the hearings, noting how the process helped many participants realize they were not alone or “crazy,” and compares the inquiry’s role to an “injection of truth” that reduced fear and restored dialogue. The conversation addresses widespread media silence, censorship, and the concentration of media power, emphasizing the importance of grassroots communication and citizen involvement. Ken concludes with a call for Canadians to move beyond passive voting, get involved locally, share information responsibly, and actively participate in restoring democratic accountability and community resilience.
