Update Canada 05-02-22
Very interesting to watch things unfold in Canada. As we see the ministry starting to back down a little bit and the rest of the country starting to, open up and, and evaluate what they’re doing. So today I want to kind of share with you where we’re at with our legal battles, as well as our next phase of things that are happening. So pay close attention to what’s going on. Good morning. Canada chiropractors and allied health professionals. My name is Bharon Hoag. I am The Executive Director of OneChiropractic and The Chiropractic Defense Council coming to you today, Monday, May 2nd, 2022 for your weekly update. Well, welcome to May. Spring is hopefully right around the corner. Interesting things happening in Canada. I gotta be honest, your government always keeps me hopping a little bit. But you know, it appears that we have people on their heels.
The government continues to kind of back peddle. We never did see any release of information, even their last, effort or their last communication to us was that they were going to do it by profession stating what percentage of the profession was vaccinated or not. And that never came out. As a matter of fact, we just issued another letter to the privacy officer letting them know that, you know, we want to make sure that nothing happens and, and gave them more evidence. Our legal team is still kind of prodding the government a little bit stating we need you to behave kind of stuff. So we’re, we’re, we’re pleased with that. But we’re also, you know, really looking at what’s happening across the landscape of Canada as a whole, as the rest of the world flying no longer needs to have masks.
We’re seeing vaccine requirements starting to diminish all over the world. And so I believe the threat is gone I believe, in you guys being mandated or of them releasing information. However, we’re still monitoring. We believe you know, in the fall, when we enter back into the winter months that they’re going to start doing something again. You know, so I need you to understand how important it is that we stay organized. We stay together. I’m going to keep giving you updates, even though there might not be a lot of big information I, you to stay connected. I don’t want you to think we won and now we can just go back and be ignorant again, like we were in 2020, obviously our eyes are open. We know the type of things they’re willing to do to try to control.
And so we want to make sure that that never happens to my chiropractors. I do want you to know that we’re ramping back up on the x-ray issue. We’re meeting with our attorneys making sure that we are getting all of that information put back together. It does appear that we have our hearing date to be able to go and, and challenge that particular order. So I’ll have more information from you once our attorneys start communicating, which should be happening early this week. But, the rest of you, I want to share with you. You can tell from my video here that it’s a bit rudimentary this week. I apologize for it not being as crisp and clear and, and present is my normal videos, but I actually spent this weekend and this applies to everybody.
But you chiropractors might appreciate this a little bit more, but I spent this weekend at a technique seminar. It’s been incredible. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of the group of Centropy, but Aaron and Patrick are just unbelievable guys. I watched this week, I don’t know if you can see from my shirt, but it says drop in and that’s kind of their theme of what they do. And the concept is to be present, to be a hundred percent present when you’re administering the adjustment. And I think that’s relevant to all of us, whether you’re a chiropractor or not watching this video. I think it’s important that we really remove the things we can’t control and just be present. I know that, you know, there’s a lot going on in the world. There’s a lot of things that are affecting you both personally and professionally.
And I know there’s frustration and anger because of everything, especially you Canadians, what you’ve been through and how locked down you’ve been. But I want you to really focus this week on dropping in. I want you to be a hundred percent focused on what you can control and not frustrated about the things that you can’t, and no matter your form of health care, you have the ability to drop in and that’s to close your eyes, clear your mind, and be a hundred percent present with the person that you’re with in your room. And that’s my challenge for you this week. Let go of those things you can’t control and be a hundred percent present on the things that you can. And I think you’re going to find that you have a much better experience. Your patients have a believable experience and the world around you just becomes a bit more palatable.
So that’s my challenge for you this week. We’re going to continue to dig in. We’ll be giving updates here soon on the chiropractic college with the x-ray issue, as well as updating you, if there’s any more developments from the Ministry of Health or any other issues in British Columbia. So I want you to know, we love you. We appreciate you. I want to have an incredible spring week this week. I can’t believe it’s May already, this year’s flying by as they all do. But I want you to know that we’re here and, and it’s, and it’s more important now, even in the calm that we continue to grow, the influence that we have, I’m asking you to continue to spread the word. I know human nature is when the house isn’t on fire, we don’t really care about fire prevention, but we cannot be caught with our pants down like we did in the two thousands.
And so part of what The Chiropractic Defense Council is doing is making sure that we’re here observing, monitoring, making sure things are good. And so we need our tribe to be connected as well. So please continue to spread the word and the message to your colleagues about who we are, what we’re doing. We want to grow that influence. You know, I told our goal is to get a thousand Canadians connected to our organization and we’re right around 580. So I want to just keep that message going. And I know it’s a little harder when there’s not a fire burning, but I’m asking you to, to, to know that now is the time that growth is more essential before we get into the storm, right? With our patients. We tell them, don’t wait until you have symptomatology, right? We want you to be proactive and to stay healthy and prevent illness and sickness. That’s the same concept here, right? We want you to really be preventative in these initiatives, or nature. We know what they’re capable of doing. We know how unbelievably restrictive they’re willing to go.
So groups like ours really thrive because we’re, we’re ready. We’re building our resources so that when the battle comes, we’re not wasting time trying to get our army in order. So if you can do that for me, I’d appreciate it. Keep spreading the message, feel free to share these videos, send them to our website and just know that we are here for a bigger purpose, right? The next battle is, and we don’t know what it is, but we’re getting prepared for it, but we love you. We appreciate you. Have an absolutely incredible week this week and we’ll talk to you next week. God bless you.
