Ukrainian (USSR) born Data Scientist with two PhDs (Math & CompSci), extensive experience in vendor products performance evaluation, 24 years of working with GC, developer of Open Canada Deaths Tracker App, seeks the truth, sharing occasionally his poetry and music. More: IVIM.ca
Welcome to “Who can tell me the truth ?” newsletter
Who can tell me the truth ? The truth regarding the sudden deaths of young Canadians that started with COVID-19 vaccination? The truth about the devastating effect of COVID mandates on many Canadian families? The truth about the lab origin of COVID virus and everything else that followed? Clearly, not those whose actions or inaction led to these. So, I am trying do my part and hope to inspire you to do yours.
Who am I?
I am Ukrainian-born Data Scientist with two PhDs (Math & CompSci), with extensive experience in data analysis of vendor products’ performance (in the field of Biometrics and Automated Border Control) and over twenty years of experience working with the Government of Canada. I am also the author of several Open Canada Web Apps, notably Canada Vital Statistics (Deaths) Tracker, and several other scientific innovations.
Through this newsletter, my aim is to seek and defend the truth. What sets this newsletter apart from many others on substack.com is the fact that I am still employed with GC. As such, I have to be very careful with what I write to make sure that I do not violate my employer’s Code of Value and Ethics, in particular, the clause quoted below:
5.2. Public Criticism of the CBSA and/or the Government of Canada:
We refrain from making public criticisms of the CBSA and/or the Government of Canada including posting critical comments on social media fora.
This clause often leads Government employees to maintain silence regarding Government activities. It also contributes to the existence of a subculture and information bubble within the Government, where individuals may not perceive the world in the same way as those outside of it. While the people within this bubble are typically kind and friendly, their primary sources of news are often direct government communications and legacy mainstream media.
Therefore, based on the data evidence I have observed and drawing from my personal experiences growing up in the USSR, I have come to the realization that remaining silent is not an option. It is imperative that I speak out to assist both my country and my employer in safeguarding the fundamental rights of all Canadians, particularly their right to life security. Leveraging data analytics and the democratic foundations of our country, I endeavour to support governments in promoting transparency, accountability, and resilience against political and industry interference.

Who ?
(Anthem for the new generation)
Who can tell me the truth?
Who can show me the way?
Who can bring from the darkness
A ray of hope and brighten my day?
Who can help ease my mind,
Face with a smile ups and downs?
Who can remain calm and kind
Despite heavy storms that are raging around?
Who can I hear the music
That I compose every night?
Who has wisdom and courage
To say what is wrong and to do what is right?
Who?
Another day’s gone, gone forever.
A beautiful present wrapped in autumn leaves
Was given to me and once again left unopened. -
No one was saved, no one was set free.
I saw in my dreams there is a land far from here,
Where people are governed not by money but love.
Who can show me the way how to get there
To this happy land I've been dreaming of?
I'm ready to start a new journey.
And leave all the comfort and worries behind.
Hey, who is there willing to join me
In search of the answers that are so hard to find?
Who?
Who could give me a hug?
Who can look straight into my eyes,
Not from the holes in a mask,
Not from the screen of an electronic device?
Who can go with me for a walk
To watch the sunset and the stars shining bright?
Who can hold my hand and allow me to talk
So I can let out everything that is burning inside?
Love is stronger than fear
Trust has more value than gold.
Who can bring it back, have the good news to share ?
Who can think for themselves, not what they’ve been told?
Who?
Who can speak up for the others
Who have no voice anywhere,
Who suffer in silence,
Losing hope, falling into despair?
Who won't allow this to happen?
Who can discern evil from good?
Who will lead by example
Helping the helpless like everyone should?
Who is ready to stand up
And let the healing begin?
Who will defy propaganda?
Will open the windows and let the fresh air in?
Who?
Maybe it’s you?

The story behind the song
In April 2023, I have finished the poem I’ve been working on for several months.
It’s about everything I’ve been feeling about over the past few years….

Why I+V+I=M ?
Originally, it stood for Intelligent Vision Interfaces Machines. which I invented and helped to develop when I worked at the National Research Council of Canada, using my training in AI, Computer Vision and Machine Learning. See nouse.ca to learn more. This is also why I have the www.IVIM.ca portal, which was created back in 2007 and which is now repurposed to support various community projects - to help people help each other.
Then, it stood for Independently Verified Information Machines, which I started developing with my colleagues in the fall of 2021 as part of our data science training in effort to make better use of the growing amount of various Open Data, including on the topics that were of highest interest to everyone. See open-canada.github.io/App/vitals to learn more.
Now, it simply stands for the visual illusion IVI = M, which I can rephrase as following: “Sometimes what you see (or what you are told) is different from what it actually is”. In other words: Think for yourself, Distinguish News gathering from Propaganda, remain true to your values and who you are.
Since March 2023, this newsletter is renamed to “Who (can tell me the truth)?” inline with the poem and the song that I have composed from “everything that is burning inside”.
