The Civic Forum Series invites Dr. Gilbert McInnis to present an animated presentation about the Covid Crisis and his book. The Needle and the Damage Done is about the abuses in Canada that happened during the Covid Crisis to all Canadians, yet after forced vaccination was introduced, unprecedented abuses turned solely on the unvaccinated, such as discriminatory travel restrictions, church oppression, police brutality, surveillance capitalism, segregation, and lawfare, yet tells the stories of the courageous people who overcame these abuses and planted the seeds of the Charter Revolution.
Dr. Gilbert McInnis in his younger days participated in the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia. More recently, his activism includes the Freedom Convoy 2022, and numerous other protests during the Covid Crisis. His resistance work from March 2020 to March 2023 against Covidism includes: signing numerous petitions, supporting political candidates, funding legal groups (the Canadian Civil Liberty Association, Justice Centre Constitutional Freedom, Constitutional Rights Centre), writing hundreds of social media postings to audiences of 250,000, and launching his own legal case to fight for his Charter rights. In 2021, he left a tenured university position because he would not support a system of segregation set up under the pretext of the vaccine mandates.
Gilbert McInnis earned his Ph.D at Université Laval in 2007. He contributed to Bloom’s Modern Critical Views: Kurt Vonnegut—New Edition (2008), contributed to Kurt Vonnegut: Critical Insights. Ed. Robert T. Tally Jr., 2013, Re-Imagining the Limits of the Human (Peter Lang, 2019), and published a monograph, Kurt Vonnegut: Myth and Science in a PostModern World (Peter Lang ) in 2020.

Gilbert McInnis had invested countless hours in his professional writing outside the classroom as a journalist for the Sherbrook Record and the Quebec Chronicle Telegraph. While working for two English newspapers in Quebec, he wrote successful stories (digital and print) about issues in politics, economics, and culture. Likewise, he was successful as a writer in Quebec because of his ability to translate from French to English. He learned to be a good translator because the majority of the newsmakers he published stories about were primarily French speaking.
