Dr. Irvin Studin
Expert Witness - Expert in Constitutional Law (PhD)
"Dr. Studin discusses the catastrophic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education, particularly in Canada, and the concept of "third bucket kids," referring to children who were neither in physical school nor virtual online school but received no education at all during the pandemic. He highlights the rapid transition of many students from physical to no school, emphasizing that this has led to undereducation and long-term consequences for these children. Dr. Studin also criticizes the decision-makers and leadership for failing to adequately address the crisis and calls for a concerted effort to find and educate the affected children, as well as a commitment to never repeat such a policy failure in the future."

He is a research associate at the National Bureau of Economics Research, a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, and at the Stanford Freeman Spogli Institute.

Lay Witness - Truck Driver
In order for his 17 year old son to continue to play hockey, he needed to be vaccinated. Sean Hartman died suddenly, 33 days after his vaccination. Dan also tells about the tissue sample report being done by a world-renowned pathologist. He will never stop searching for answers to his son's sudden death.
UPDATE July 7, 2023 - American pathologist, Dr. Ryan Cole, confirmed that Sean Hartman died from the COVID shot after finding evidence of spike proteins present in his adrenal glands. To date, Canada's Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) has paid out $16,574,972 to 209 people (out of 3,060 claims), "where it has been determined by the Medical Review Board that there is a probable link between the injury and the vaccine, and that the injury is serious and permanent." Dan's video update is available to watch here, where he asks for help finding legal representation so that he can appeal the VISP decision to deny his claim. Read the complete article here.
May 2025: The Ontario Superior Court has ruled that the Canadian government cannot be held liable for the death of Sean Hartman, a 17-year-old hockey player who died suddenly after receiving his first Pfizer COVID-19 shot. The Court ruled that the Minister's obligation was to act for the greater good and claimed that the government did not have a duty to inform the public about all potential risks associated with the shot (source).
