"Global Canada” ( @GlobalCanadaOrg) appears to be the funder of the #CanadianShield strategy ( @csc_canada_), essentially a #COVIDZero rebrand, supported by Ont Science Table members. It seeks extended, hard-lockdowns Canadawide.

Global Canada (“GC”) is run by Executive Chairman, Robert Greenhill ( @RobertGreenhill). Mr. Greenhill is a former high-ranking official at the World Economic Forum, serving as Managing Director and Chief Business Officer for 6 years until 2014, when he founded Global Canada…
Global Canada (“GC”) was founded in 2015 and has since received three grants as disclosed on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation website. The first two were in November 2015/2016 and total a modest ~$1.3m…
(more on the 3rd, more recent grant in a moment)

Global Canada hosted Bill Gates for an honorary dinner in February 2015, shortly after its founding. Here are Mr. Gates and Mr. Greenhill together…
Global Canada appears to have not been very active since its founding. Here is the entirety of its “News and Highlights” since 2014…
But recently it has become very active…
After a long year of dormancy, the @GlobalCanadaOrg twitter account perked up, and on Oct 14, 2020 retweeted @RobertGreenhill, its Exec Chair, asking if Canada should “Go For Zero?”.
The account had not tweeted since Nov 2019 (except a couple unrelated tweets in Sept 2020)…
The account had not tweeted since Nov 2019 (except a couple unrelated tweets in Sept 2020)…
Since then, the account has been very active, retweeting @RobertGreenhill as well as several COVID doom tweets regularly. Inspecting Mr. Greenhill’s twitter account, you will find a similar pattern (general COVID and other issues pre-Oct 2020, only hard COVIDZero post-Oct 2020)…
What else happened in October 2020?
Global Canada got its third grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, its first since 2016…

Then in November, Mr. Greenhill was interviewed by @NatashaFatah at the CBC, where he advocated harsh lockdown policy. At the end of the interview, he was evasive when asked about collateral harms of lockdowns… https://twitter.com/NatashaFatah/status/1331273478125850630?s=20
Recall that Bill Gates on Dec 13 told Jake Tapper he thought that “normal” was still a long way off, perhaps 12-18 months, and that sadly bars and restaurants (small biz, by extension) would “sadly” have to remain closed…
Now, within the last 72 hours, Mr. Greenhill, and the “COVID Strategic Choices Group” (“CSCC”, first tweet on Dec 30, 2020) are promoting the new #CanadianShield strategy…
(remember the CSCC/ #CandianShield is funded by Global Canada…)

This heavy PR campaign includes this 25 tweet-thread done yesterday, Jan 1 by Mr. Greenhill, and the tweets by Ontario Science Table member @DFisman that I retweeted yesterday. https://twitter.com/RobertGreenhill/status/1345082816585981955?s=20
The CSCC/ #CanadianSheild Group, which appears well-organized, includes many of the media and twitter “celebrity” folks from the medical community that you may expect, some of whom are likely colleagues of members of the Ontario Science Table.
The #CanadianShield group has made it clear it wants full, nationwide lockdown…

Earlier I tweeted about the, in my opinion, rather amateurish analysis that the group’s lockdown goals are based on… https://twitter.com/rubiconcapital_/status/1345454132866519041?s=20
Back to Mr. Greenhill, who in '17 gave a speech for an event sponsored by the Canadian International Development Platform (CIDP). CIDP was also partnered with the Gates Foundation, and another peculiar organization call the Overseas Development Institute.

Here is the homepage of the ODI…quite an interesting agenda indeed…
Back to Global Canada, who has a “Research Fellow” on staff named Celine Wadhera ( @celinewadhera). For a non-profit who’s aim is to promote Canada’s involvement on the global stage… her personal twitter account is rather political… (she is of course entitled to her views)
So, Global Canada, an apparently relatively inactive, lightly staffed non-profit, funded by Bill Gates, and run by a World Economic Forum veteran, has taken a its recent grant, and invested in a new, now heavily promoted, Canada-wide extended lockdown initiative…
What is going on?
