The ‘regional regulatory hubs’ evolved from a pandemic-born initiative to create a permanent regulatory compliance mechanism that utilizes behavioural science to achieve its goals, with little (if any) public oversight.

It sounded chillingly similar to the building of an insider Ministry of Truth, reminiscent to that depicted in Orwell’s 1984 dystopian novel detailing a world governed by surveillance, propaganda and censorship. To garner information on this hub, Rebel News filed an access to information request to determine what was being discussed by this new bureaucracy.  They found that It “will use email initially but then transfer to a top-secret SharePoint Platform.” and that information “will not be shared outside of the hub without express permission from the authoring ministry or agency.”

The ministries involved are broad in scope – 18 of the 29 Ontario ministries partake in this, from the Ministry of Health to the Ministry of the Environment, Long-Term Care, Education, Colleges and Universities, Labour and Immigration, Finance, etc. On a slideshow presentation created by RCO, key players include the above as well as public health units, police boards, and by-law. This is supposed to create a “One Ontario approach within a modern regulator community,”

According to additional email communication,  Avian Influenza was already a topic of discussion within the RCO (Regulatory Compliance Ontario) in March 2023.

This sneaky, elusive bureaucracy lacks transparency and accountability. It evolved from a pandemic-born initiative into a mechanism for enforcing top-down orders, with minimal public oversight. Using behavioural insights in compliance programs raises concern for psychological manipulation, suggesting this tool is for unchecked bureaucratic control rather than to serve the public interest.

So a NEW ONTARIO bureaucracy designed to enforce mandates in a NON-FOIA accessible manner on behalf of most Ministries of the Ontario Government –> that was supposed to be kept secret from citizens but they failed to do so – eh!

Perhaps opposition party politicians might want to start gathering data……………….
