(LifeSiteNews) –– A Canadian federal arbitrator has ruled in favor of a VIA Rail locomotive engineer who was fired for not getting the COVID shots as a condition of employment, saying the government-owned passenger rail line did not have “sufficient cause” to terminate him.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Graham Clarke, who was the case arbitrator, wrote that “VIA did not have just and sufficient cause” to fire Louison Tessier, who worked as a VIA engineer for 19 years.
Noted Clarke, VIA Rail of its “own initiative” decided to add “disciplinary consequences for non-vaccinated employees.”
This, said Clarke, meant that VIA Rail breached the Canada Labour Code over Tessier’s COVID jab status.
Tessier was fired on January 24, 2022, however, through the help of his union, Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, he was successful in fighting back against his termination.
According to the Teamsters contact, no employee could be fired without a “fair and impartial hearing.”
The WHO Pandemic Treaty looks set to be one of the biggest power-grabs in living memory, with unelected globalists seeking the power to declare pandemics, and then control your country’s response.
But it’s not too late to do something about it.
SIGN and SHARE this special petition telling Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus that the WHO will never usurp your nation’s sovereignty.
The past two years have been rife with infringements on personal liberties and civil rights by national governments, but now the World Health Organization is seeking to appropriate those same abusive powers to itself at a global level.
194 member states representing 99% of the world’s population are expected to sign pandemic treaties with the WHO that would allow Tedros, or any future Director General, to dictate exactly how your nation would respond to a new disease outbreak which they consider a pandemic.
This attack on national sovereignty will come as no surprise to those who for years have listened to elites like Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates discussing their vision for the centralization of power into globalist organizations like the World Economic Forum (WEF), the WHO and the rest of the United Nations.
SIGN this petition against the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty, before it’s too late.
Ludicrously, 20 world leaders calling for the treaty, including Tedros, Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron, compared the post-Covid world to the post-WWII period, saying similar co-operation is now needed to “dispel the temptations of isolationism and nationalism, and to address the challenges that could only be achieved together in the spirit of solidarity and co-operation – namely peace, prosperity, health and security.”
Australian PM Scott Morrison is the latest leader to express support for a “pandemic treaty”.
The stated intention of the WHO is to “kickstart a global process to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.”
The wheels are already in motion, with the Biden administration officially proposing the initial steps towards handing global pandemic control to the WHO.
Biden’s representatives have submitted amendments to the WHO’s International Health Regulations (IHR), which would give the Director General the right to declare health emergencies in any nation, even when disputed by the country in question.
These amendments, which would be legally binding under international law, will be voted on by the World Health Assembly (the governing body of the WHO) at a special convention running from May 22-28 and set the stage for a fully-fledged pandemic treaty to be passed.
SIGN and SHARE the petition telling the WHO that you won’t accept any pandemic treaty
The ball has been rolling since the last World Health Assembly meeting in December, where the United States launched negotiations “on a new international health instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response,” a U.S. statement read.
“This momentous step represents our collective responsibility to work together to advance health security and to make the global health system stronger and more responsive.
“We look forward to broad and deep negotiations using a whole-of-society and whole-of-government approach that will strengthen the international legal framework for public health/pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response and enable us to address issues of equity, accountability, and multisectoral collaboration evident in the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We know it will take all of us working together across governments, private sector, philanthropy, academia, and civil society to make rapid progress towards a long-term solution for these complex problems,” the U.S. statement added.
SIGN the petition today to show the WHO that you won’t accept this attack on national sovereignty.
These are precarious times in which freedom and self-determination must be defended from those who would ride rough-shod over your civil rights.
We do not want to go back to global lockdowns, vaccine mandates and propoganda.
Sign the petition – speak up now!

Clarke said that at the time of Tessier’s firing, there were no new recommendations from health authorities relating to COVID shots and workers.
“VIA never explained why on January 24 it was necessary to immediately terminate Mr. Tessier’s employment rather than keep him on leave without pay,” noted Clarke.
The arbitrator added that VIA’s COVID jab mandate was “unreasonable” and then ordered that VIA rehire Tessier and remove from his file “any reference to the termination of employment.”
As it stands, Tessier and his union are negotiating compensation for time lost with VIA Rail.
In November of 2021, the Canadian federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau put in place a COVID workplace jab mandate for all federal workers. This policy was suspended in June of 2022.
A member of Trudeau’s cabinet, Attorney General David Lametti, claimed at the time that mandating one to take a COVID shot as a condition of employment was done on a “solid legal footing.”
The case involving Tessier and VIA rail shows otherwise.
Records compiled together, as noted by Blacklock’s Reporter, show that no less than 2,560 federal employees were suspended for not taking the COVID shots.
Last week, Canadian vaccinologist Dr. Byram Bridle, known for speaking out against COVID jab mandates said that anyone in Ontario who was fired or not allowed to attend school because they chose not to get the COVID jabs should consider getting legal help to launch a wrongful dismissal case, in light of recent comments made by the province’s top doctor.
Some federal agencies, such as the Bank of Canada, suspended its workers who did not have the jabs, even if they were working from home.
Now largely considered to be unfair, COVID jab mandates led to the unprecedented display of public resistance in the Freedom Convoy of early 2022, which resulted in Trudeau using the Emergencies Act to crush the protests.
Beyond just a legal footing, many have also pointed out that COVID jab mandates were made without scientific rationale either.
Namely because COVID jab trials have never produced evidence that the vaccines stop infection or transmission, and experts like Dr. Peter McCullough have consistently warned the shots carry many potentially serious risks.
Moreover, as reported by LifeSiteNews, worldwide data also shows there has been a large surge in what analysts and experts refer to as “excess deaths” since the rollout of the vaccines when compared to pre-COVID times.
The concerning data comes from Ireland, England, mainland Europe, America and Canada.
