Oops one more for those not on FB.

Notice in the petition it says Monsanto found loopholes, just needed to say the wealthy corporations who our politicians really work for, write all of these loopholes into pending legislation, not the middle class/not the poor, ceerist we can't have get labelling on gm foods. Politicians only need us on voting day to legitimize the policies and even then they cheat us.

Bill C-377 has gone to the Senate. I hear the MP who wrote the bill is undergoing a grilling. Hiebert said it would pass effortlessly, and it's the tax deductibility that gives the bill the excuse to require this amount of public exposure. Once the information is public it will be mined by the union-haters who work for employers who don't want to be organized. This bill only targets unions and not other associations that have 100% tax deductibility. And it might not even be constitutional, this bears watching. I don't have a sub for Blacklock, wish I did.

http://www.blacklocks.ca/fight-on-bill-c-377-who-said-this-is-constitutional/

A Conservative MP, ending months of silence, named Attorney General Rob Nicholson as his legal advisor on a contentious labour bill. MP Russ Hiebert said the attorney general okayed C-377 that compels unions to publish confidential data. The MP earlier told Blacklock’s he could not identify his legal counsel because “I’m not sure they want to be named.”

The Canadian government's delaying tactics involving native children are harmful and wrong. This article first appeared in the Globe n Mail but I'm told that it was removed. I can't tell because I have no access.
  • http://www.firstperspective.ca/index.php/news/567-the-canadian-government-s-delaying-tactics-involving-native-children-are-harmful-and-wrong#!/ccommentThe federal government was thus required to share all relevant documents, and duly handed over a few thousand; but Cindy Blackstock, head of the Caring Society, became suspicious that Ottawa knew more than it was revealing. So she did an access to information request and, lo and behold, the government produced another 4,000 documents. Later Ottawa declared that another 50,000 documents would be forthcoming – but it would need as long as seven months to produce them. It asked for an adjournment.Sounds like a reward for questionable behaviour. This generation of aboriginal children may have grown up by the time the complaint is adjudicated.At the same time as Ottawa is playing games over the retrieval of documents, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, created by the federal government, has been holding hearings about the residential schools to which  several generations of native children were taken, at times forcibly, and in which many were abused.

Regardless of where the video is, this action by City Council shuns and marginalizes Ford.

 The courts have now verified that these calls were election fraud, and this fraud was perpetrated using the Conservative Party of Canada's database, CIMS.

Fraud found in 6 ridings, but results still stand.

Mosley does not conclude that the party was involved, but does say the evidence points to the use of the party’s database.
“In reaching this conclusion, I make no finding that the Conservative Party of Canada or any CPC candidates or RMG and RackNine Inc., were directly involved in any campaign to mislead voters,” he ruled.
“I am satisfied, however, that the most likely source of the information used to make the misleading calls was the CIMS database maintained and controlled by the CPC, accessed for that purpose by a person or persons currently unknown to this court.”
Maude Barlow, national chair of the Council of Canadians, said the decision “should disturb Canadians a lot.”

Mosley had harsh words for the legal tactics employed by the Conservatives during the case, saying they indulged in “trench warfare in an effort to prevent this case from coming to a hearing on the merits” while the council sought “the high ground of promoting the integrity of the electoral process.”
The judge pointed out that the Conservatives “made little effort to assist with the investigation despite early requests,” and noted that Hamilton was notified during the election that improper calls were being made.
Mosley rejected repeated Conservative personal attacks on pollster Frank Graves, stating that they “added nothing of value to the record before the court.” http://o.canada.com/2013/05/23/federal-judge-confirms-election-fraud-in-2011-vote/

I would certainly never want to see an elected Senate, giving political legitimacy by the ballot box will do nothing except give some provinces more power than others. It makes no sense a well populated province like B.C. have 6 senators and tiny New Brunswick have 10, so distribution would have to be looked at. I think what Harper is really angry about is that he's lost Nigel Wright while the useless Duff stays in the Senate. I think the Senate can abolish themselves, of course who would with all those perks/benefits/pay/pension. If the senate didn't exist, no one would ever invent it these days.


P.S. I've sent one of over 84,000 letters to Abolish the Senate -have received 3 Premier responses http://democracywatch.ca/campaigns/shutdownsenate/

Everyone wants docs between Duff/Wright, I think it's more probable this deal was made between Duff's lawyer and Perrin.


How to abolish? http://www2.macleans.ca/2013/05/23/how-to-abolish-the-senate-of-canada/
Since that doesn't look too likely I heard that one of Harper's minions today said he is just going to stop making appointments to the senate.
