Hidden in Conservative Govt Bill C-45 is a law that allows Corporations a free hand to destroy Canadian rivers and lakes which are the source of life, and our drinking water. AND when you add agreements free trade agreements like FIPPA which allows Chinese companies a free hand and not be held accountable, we have a very serious breach of Canadian sovereignty!

Crime Timeline:

2012 – July 23 – CNOOC announces the buyout of NEXEN

2012 – Sept 20 - NEXEN Share Holders Approve Sale to CNOOC
2012 – Oct 07 – FIPPA agreement with China Signed by Harper
2012 – Dec 07 – Harper Government gives full approval of sale of NEXEN to CNOOC
2012 – Dec 14 - Senate Passes Harper Government Bill C-45 that will allow Corp destruction of the environment.

The Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Act (FIPPA), went into effect in October of 2012 and is Canada's biggest foreign trade treaty since NAFTA.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper Sold a piece of Canada to the Highest Bidder and changed Canadian Law to ensure that the Chinese State Owned Company could not be challenged by anyone through Bill C-45. This bill Destroys Canadian Sovereignty and the protection over its lakes and rivers.

Under Chinese Law, Corporations are not held accountable for environmental disasters, and now in Canada the same destructive governance will apply.

However let’s not let all the others off the hook. Oil Corporations the World Over are “MASSIVE POLLUTERS” but Canadian environmental laws have held them back from running rabid over Canadian land and waterways…well no more because Bill C-45 destroyed the environmental protection of all our lakes and rivers.

The FIPPA treaty will absolve China of any environmental disasters committed in Canada meaning our own courts cannot prosecute the owners for negligence or environmental crimes.

In essence, Stephen Harper has allowed a foreign government to do what it pleases on our land and we wont have any recourse to stop them. Bill C-45 was the last remaining hurdle to stop China from coming in and poisoning the people of Canada…and that Bill is now law.

What does this all mean?

Foreign governments, Corporations, and Banks control the decision making in Canada and Harper is their enforcer.

The Harper Government knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they destroyed Canadian sovereignty and signed free trade with China (FIPPA), rubber stamped the sale of NEXEN, and passed Bill C-45.

Oil Corporate Executives sit in Government, and Past Government officials sit on various Boards of Directors in the Oil Corporations operating in the Alberta Tar Sands. Not only is this a conflict of interest, it is a Crime to allow these maniacs to continue making decisions.

Certainly the poisoning of our lakes, rivers, and land should be considered as crimes against humanity since the people will meet with a horrific slow death by carcinogenic Tar Sands sludge poisoning.

Isn’t it time we put an end to the Alberta Tar Sands and its ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people? Isn’t it time to stand up and put the brakes on this out of control freight train called greed? 

In  “My Opinion”, everyone that voted to pass Bill C-45 or agree to FIPPA have committed treason of the highest degree.

Citizens of Canada, it’s time to wake up! Don’t let Stephen Harper and his government destroy the land, poison the people, and allow corporations to plunder our natural resources. Now is the time to stand up and remove these traitors from office or it will be too late to stop the destruction of our country.

BE “Idle No More”!

Canada a human rights slaughterhouse

A political analyst has deplored Canada’s human rights record, holding Ottawa responsible for creating a legion of outrageously-oppressed aboriginal women and children.

In an article published on Press TV website under the title Human rights inferno in Canada on Tuesday, prolific Iranian author and Middle East expert, Dr. Ismail Salami highlighted the country’s age-old record of subjecting aboriginal woman and children to horrendous abuse.

Canada has admitted to “forcing 150,000 aboriginal children into ghastly residential schools where they were abused sexually, psychologically, and physically,” he wrote.

“The concept of assimilation [into mainstream Canadian society as was the reason for the forced placements] was a big lie and the children eventually left schools with a broken spirit and an amputated soul,” Salami asserted.

He cited the case of “sexual terrorist” Arthur Plint, a dorm supervisor, who was accused of 18 counts of sexual assault on children aged six to 16.

The UN has strongly condemned Canada's record on children's rights, and accused Ottawa of systematic discrimination against aborigines and immigrants.

“Canada is the home of serious violations of the human rights of Aboriginal women and girls,” the Iranian expert also wrote, citing rights coalition, the Canadian Feminist Alliance for International Action (FAFIA) spokesperson, Sharon McIvor as saying.

More than 600 aboriginal women and young girls are missing in the country amid reports of rape, mutilation, and murder against female aborigines.

Since Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper took power in 2006, activists say there has been a significant rise in human rights violations together with an unprecedented crackdown on freedom of speech.

Canadians call for increased state control of natural resources

Source: Press TV

http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2012/10/06/265319/canadiansstatecontrolnaturalresources/

Canada has the third largest oil deposits in the world but no state owned oil company. And with the recent proposed take over of Canadian oil giant Nexen by China’s state oil company CNOOC, Canadians are beginning to question the status quo.

The Canadian oil industry is mostly dominated by foreign companies. But many Canadians wish the government would create a state owned oil company. They believe that by controlling its natural resources, Canada will be able to alleviate its social problems such as student debt and poverty.

The Harper government opposes state-ownership of resources, however activists say this leaves Canadians short changed. In its recently published annual study the Non-Profit Organization "The Community Foundations of Canada" claims that student debt in Canada is averaging between $20,000 and $30,000 dollars; this despite the fact that Canada has a relatively small population and is highly rich in natural resources.

An increasing number of Canadians are looking to countries with more enlightened oil policies like Venezuela and Iran and wondering when Canada will emulate the preponderance of oil producing nations and nationalize its resources.

Canadian Premier Harper skips UN General Assembly to get Jewish award

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has come under fire for skipping the 67th session of the UN General Assembly to attend a private ceremony where he received an award from a Jewish-sponsored organization.

Passing up the opportunity to address the General Assembly, Harper chose to receive the New York-based Appeal of Conscience Foundation (ACF) award from former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on Thursday.

The Canadian official seized the opportunity to level criticism at the UN and accused its members of using the world body as a “forum to single out Israel for criticism.”

Harper further added that the policies of the Israeli regime are not to blame for “the pathologies present in that part of the world,” while reaffirming Canada’s support for Tel Aviv.

However, the Canadian prime minister’s decision not to speak at the opening of the General Assembly drew harsh criticism in Canada from opposition leaders, who called the move “absolutely ridiculous.”

“I think the message is that Canada, that the Harper government doesn’t care about the United Nations,” said Bob Rae, the interim leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.

This is the second consecutive year that Harper has shunned the UN event, preferring to send Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird in his place.

Many in Canada are concerned about Harper’s conservative policies as he is also accused of locking his government behind a wall of secrecy, defunding democratic institutions and giving away Canada’s sovereignty to the UK and the Israeli regime.
