  Secondly, the reference to the "World Debt Reset program" is misleading. The World Economic Forum pitched the idea of a "great reset" on capitalism in June after noting the pandemic was increasing inequality (here) . It encourages three components, including asking governments to improve fiscal policy, implement overdue reforms (such as on wealth taxes), and pushing for the efforts that have boosted health sectors this year to be replicated across other sectors to bring about an industrial revolution.
  Costas Christou, the IMF mission chief for Canada, confirmed to Reuters that the claims were irrelevant to the organisation's advice. Commenting specifically on the alleged email posted to The Canadian Report, he said: "The information shared in this report neither is related to nor is part of the IMF's policy advice or finance initiatives to its membership".
  After reading out the email in his video, Buttar questions the veracity of COVID-19 before claiming it is the government's goal to make sure everyone would eventually test positive. He says: "They're basically amplifying the PCR test to the point that every human being will test positive. That's what their goal is." There is also no evidence to back this claim.
  PCR tests are very specific and are widely used to test for COVID-19 in an individual. They do so by identifying the specific genetic material of SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes the disease – in a sample from the patient. This genetic material is then amplified within the sample for scientists to detect it (here) . Meanwhile, governments globally are using restrictions on socialising and travel as a means of trying to reduce the number of people testing positive for the virus (here , here ).
  False. The email Buttar was quoting verbatim has already been proven false. There is no such committee in existence that the claims were said to be a result of, and the IMF has confirmed there is no such strategy to give away money in return for freedoms. There is also no evidence to suggest there is a goal to make every human being test positive for COVID-19.
