☆ "The Declaration for Change" ☆

Democracy and people's way of life is being challenged all over the globe. Economies are crashing into a debt system that simply doesn't work--and technically isn't even Real! Convenience is getting higher but people are having to work harder and longer hours than ever before. The environment is going to hell while oil companies are still receiving subsidies and taps on the wrist for massive oil spills that will leave the waters and land in ruins for generations. Debt of all sorts is increasing, the education system is lacking, and so many other important parts of our lives are being neglected and slashed. 

Here in Canada, true Democracy is being challenged more than ever with Harper's increasingly shameful government. Especially with the new Bill C-38, it's an even bigger reason for Canadians to start taking action and demanding a true democracy that actually appreciates our values, wants, and needs for a better future and quality of life. 

There are so many ways to get involved, to use our voices and to start caring about what goes on in our government. We Can change the world! 

One non-profit organization I'd like to take some words from is Leadnow.ca, that is trying to change our government for the better and I encourage you to sign their "Declaration for Change:" 

We, the undersigned, call for political cooperation to build a stronger democracy 

that protects our environment, creates economic opportunity while increasing equality, 

and guarantees that everyone receives the care they need.

I also encourage you check out their website and to participate in any way that you can and donate to the cause if you'd like, as they have some good projects and goals they are trying to reach. 

My point is that there are lots of organizations looking to do good in the world that are great for being people-powered and listening and having our voices heard--which, to me, is an important aspect to any organization looking for change. 

While this next bit is also taken from Leadnow's campaign, I think regardless of where you are, these priorites are sound and I think truly reflect what is most important to the people of the world and what needs the biggest changes. So, from Leadnow.ca…

Across geographies and generations, in local communities and online, thousands of Canadians are coming together to create a new kind of politics. This is our agenda for the new Parliament.

We call for political cooperation to build a stronger democracy that protects our environment, creates economic opportunity while increasing equality, and guarantees that everyone receives the care they need.

We commit to support action on the following key priorities and vote for the politicians who will best:

Democracy

• Create an open government plan to increase transparency and accountability
• Initiate a citizen-led process for a referendum on electoral reform
• Make it easier for people to participate directly in government decision-making

Economic Opportunity and Equality

• Establish a plan with clear targets to reduce poverty and provide affordable housing
• Improve access to high quality post-secondary education and reduce student debt
• Ensure access to affordable quality child care and early childhood education

Environment

• Establish climate legislation to meet international and science-based targets
• Invest in renewable energy, energy efficiency and home retrofits
• End subsidies to fossil fuel companies

Health

• Ensure universal access to high quality and publicly administered health care
• Invest in programs that prevent illness and promote wellness
• Create a national strategy to increase mental health support

Where there is overlap with provincial jurisdiction, we call for action to be defined in collaboration with the provinces and implemented according to jurisdiction.

These are changes I think that every government should be run by. And listening to the People's voices instead of ignoring clear shouts and signs from us all. 

So, I can't say enough; Get Involved! Support organizations doing good--like Leadnow, and the David Suzuki Foundation, WWF, and so many more! And go way beyond that! Get involved in your democracies, whether you are in Canada or on the other side of the world. Get involved in any and all ways available to you. Now is the time to "wake up" instead of the continuation of brainwashing.  Read up on the truth, stay "in the loop," and try to follow matters going on in your country. Sign petitions, share information through the internet and through word of mouth. Watch documentaries, follow conspiracies (because there is often a lot of truth to them), learn, explore, and care about the place you live.

We live here, so let's make it great for everyone--not just the 1%. ;)

☆ Bill C-38 ☆

The Conservative government has passed Bill C-38, proving, once again, that Adolf Harper is ignoring the tens of thousands of Canadians who spoke up against it and that our government does not give a damn about the supposed "Democracy" of our country. The truth is, our voices are not being listened to, even though they are being shouted loud and clear, and the Conservative Government continues to do what they please without Canadian citizen's consent. 

Okay, so what is Bill C-38? 

Bill C-38 is the Budget implementation bill in response to Harper's 2012 Economic Action Plan. This implementation bill is numbered C-38 and is wrongly titled by the government "The Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act." What a joke! The opposition put forward hundreds of practical amendments to stand up for the things we care about most, but all of it was ignored. 

This budget is a whopping 452 pages! If the Conservatives truly believed their changes were good for Canada, then why did they hide them in a 425-page budget bill?

And they are hoping Canadians wouldn't notice. 

Hiding in this bill are:

Changes to the Old Age Security Act by raising the retirement age to 67, making it harder for seniors to retire in dignity and security.

Employment Insurance made more difficult for hard-working Canadians to access when they need it most.

A $31 billion cut in health transfers, chipping away at the health care system. They have also weakened food and drug regulations, risking everyones safety and health. 

Nearly 300, 000 immigration applications are being dumped, so that the government can start off with a "clean slate," robbing those 300, 000 people of all the hope and time they've put into trying to get into Canada. 

Canada’s environmental protections have been gutted! The bill cuts back the environmental assessment of development projects, easing the way for industrial developments (such as pipelines) that could put the future of our land, water and climate at risk. 

There have also been 776 job cuts to Environment Canada. 

Attempts to silence voices of dissent against such developments by making it more difficult for environmental charities and agencies to participate in the public policy process. 

The budget will shut down agencies such as: National Council of Welfare, the Public Appointments Commission, Rights and Democracy, the National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy, the Canadian Artists and Producers Professional Relations Tribunal and Assisted Human Reproduction Canada.

It also changes the rules about acceptable donations to charities, by reducing the amount of money people can donate to charities that are considered too politically active and allowing the minister to withhold tax receipts from a charity if he or she feels the money is being used for political campaigns.

Meanwhile, while our environment is being slashed, the bill gave oil and gas insiders more authority to go ahead with big pipeline projects. 

(As you read this, a major cleanup operation is underway near Red Deer Alberta. More than 3000 barrels of oil leaked into the river, one of 600 leaks in the last year.)

Stand Up!

Aside from this bill being horrendous and a sneaky 452 pages long, the other problem is that, as well as the opposition, Canadians DID speak out against this bill in numerous ways. The massive "Black Out Speak Out" campaign formed the largest coalition of organizations ever assembled to demonstrate clearly Canadians do NOT support Bill C-38 and that Canadians do Not want it. There were also several petitions and demonstrations with thousands of voices. Parliament heard and they ignored those tens of thousands of voices. 

Canadians are not happy, and if you're not mad about these changes to our beautiful green country yet then you should be. Because this bill affects you and it will affect your children. That is unless something is done about it. Just because this bill has passed does not mean it's over. On the contrary, this is the time to speak out and get involved like never before. Environment charities and organizations are certainly not staying silent and they will be speaking out as well, so let's stand beside them and let the Harper government hear our voices roar!  

Let's help Canada get back on track! Open your eyes, speak up and speak out! Spread the word! Spread the message! Get involved in anyway that you can.  

"They want us to fail. We will not."

☆ What's Going On: ChemTrails: Spraying Poison above ☆

Look up at the sky. Have you ever noticed airplanes passing by that leave behind those long white trails? Have you stopped to think about the way they linger? The way they spread out across the skies? The way they zig-zag and cross over one another in a pattern that would far suggest a normal flight pattern? Have you ever noticed that those "clouds" above us are very rarely real clouds anymore? That there is a white milky haze across the horizon replacing once fluffy puffed up clouds? 

I am sad to say that there is a very real, scarey, and daunting reality upon us; we are being sprayed with chemicals on an almost daily basis. They are called Chemtrails, also known as Geoengineering. What is in that spray is aluminum and barium, in concentrations far above safe levels. 

Perhaps by now you have hopefully heard about these Chemtrails, or "Geoengirneering." Maybe you think it's some crazy conspiracy theory or that people are just being paranoid. Or maybe you can see the reality. If you still haven't decided, I encourage you to look beyond the surface and see that this threat it very very real, factual, and completely undeniable. 

The existence of these chemtrails has been repeatedly denied by government agencies and certain scientists around the world, claiming that these trails are "normal contrails". Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to take a stand and let them know that we are not stupid. Contrails follow behind an airplane for about 20 times the plane's length. Contrails do not linger and leave a hazey mess behind, they evaporate into the atmosphere. They also do not criss-cross in unusual flight patterns. And they do Not leave aluminum behind on the earth below.

If you are still skeptical, perhaps you would like to check your own levels of aluminum in your hair and in your soil? They are elevated all over the world to dangerous levels. Mount Shasta in the United States  has 60, 000 times more Aluminum per litre than is safe for human absorption. These glaciers are supposed to be pure, uncontaminated water sources, where hikers make the climb and are drinking this should-be-pure water without knowing it is contaminated with levels of aluminum so high that they are poisonous.

Why are these Chemtrails such a concern? Well, because they are indeed Toxic. Aluminum is associated with cancer and respiratory problems. People with average or below average immunity have reported to experience pneumonia-like respiratory symptoms, while others have been getting very ill. There are many other possible implications through these chemtrail sprayings, such as a possible mind control element as people have reported mental confusion and depression following sprayings. Sadly, this would not be the first time that the government has done something like this as they have had a long history of exposing the public to biological pathogens without their knowledge or consent. 

There are many more theories as to why they are spraying...

Solar radiation management: In which the aluminum particles create a barrier between Earth and the sun's solar rays to combat Global Warming. These ideas are solid in the scientific community and have been widely discussed under the name "geoengineering."

Population Control: as these high-levels of aluminum are highly carcinogenic, toxic, and cause numerous health-problems. With continued aluminum contamination we will no longer have clean supplies of water and we will no longer be able to produce organic food. People will no longer be able to grow their own food, and as someone who intends to live self-sustained, this right is being challenged. Crops and the soil cannot survive this contamination and the world will become a place in which only GMO aluminum-resistant seeds can grow. These seeds are already in production. If that is not at least a little suspicious then I'm not sure what is. 

Weather Control: It is said that these systems are already being created or are already in place. You may have heard of HAARP before, in which the weather is being manipulated to prevent damaging weather (such as hurricanes, floods, etc), or provoking weather against an enemy or as a means of population control. The reasons behind Why could be widely debated. But, true or not, we have repeatedly tried to play God and it does Not work. When will we learn to let mother nature do as it intended instead of messing up this careful ecological balance? 

I can only say so much on the topic of Chemtrails, I highly recommend that you watch "What in the World Are They Spraying" to decide for yourself. And if that still doesn't convince you of how real this chemical spraying is then I encourage you to check out this website with a wealth of information: http://educate-yourself.org/ct/#intro

In the end, the evidence is astounding, and the fact of the matter is this; those standing up against Chemtrails are not trying to gain anything but our right to live freely. We want to live in a free world and not be poisoned and our land contaminated. There is no gain, except freedom. We want a world left for our children, a world where trees and normal life can grow. The opposition is denying these chemtrails that are blatantly in front of our eyes, and going through great lengths to silence this awareness. Government agencies and the "powers that be" are telling people it's nothing but a hoax, a crazy conspiracy, that there is no scientific truth behind it. There is, and there is lots. While some scientists are denying the existence of Chemtrails, others are in wide opposition and are telling us that they are absolutely factual. Simply, they truly cannot be denied. In October 2010, the UN banned Chemtrails and Geoengineering, something that the US chose not to agree to. Furthermore, the US chose instead to expand its geoengineering projects for which hundreds of patents have already been filed. Further geoengineering programs include putting mirrors in space, iron seeding the oceans, planting genetically modified forests, and chemtrailing the skies. All of which are already well underway. The unfortunate part is that the term "geoengineering" is a loose concept with many loopholes in which people will always find a way around, which has led to the continuation of these sprayings all over the world. 

They want us to stay sleeping. They want us to keep our eyes blind and not pay attention to the skies. There are many conspiracies growing towards the theory of this "New World Order" which you have hopefully heard about. Numerous historical and current events can be seen as steps in this on-going progression towards world domination through secret political gatherings and decision-making procresses. Whether you believe in this conspiracy or not, one thing is clear; that we the People are losing our rights. We live in a world that is dying and that has been taken over by greed and the all-mighty Dollar. 

I have also noticed lately, and heard from other people reporting the same, that they are trying to hide it up. On bright sunny, clear days the sprayings tend to stop. On cloudy days, we can't see them. But people can see them all over the world. In the United States it does seem to be worse, but Canada is not much better, and it tends to depend exactly where you are located. Try paying attention and observing the skies for yourself. 

I, for one, want to live in a world where I can be self-sustained, and where money is not the most important thing on the table. I am devastated that we are being sprayed from above. I think it is time we stand up for our rights to clean air and water and food. I think it is time we do something about this. Join the fight and spread the word. If not for you, for the generations to come. 

My biggest point right now is to get the message out, so please do the same. As I discover more ways to combat this threat I will let you know. And please check out my facebook page if you haven't already as I share plenty of findings on there as well. The fight is never done until we say it is. I for one have faith in the power of good and positivity and I know that enough people out there will do the same. 

Peace & Love,
