How Does Kyoto affect National Sovereignty?
You won’t find submissions to the United Nations on this.
In 2000, when Sovereignty International requested to present to the U.N. at the Hague, the effects of Kyoto on National Sovereignty they were denied the opportunity. They were 69th, out of 110 Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs), in requesting to make a presentation. They were told there wasn’t time to hear from them.
Sovereignty International asked for a booth, at the same time, along with over 100 NGOs. The other booths, in favour of Kyoto, were around the main hall. Sovereignty International was down a long hall, down a flight of stairs, out of sight.
I wonder why that was. What was there about the only voice of dissent that could not be shared with delegates at The Hague?
At the Conference on the Parties 5(COP5), in Bonn Germany. Sovereignty International was given a booth on a balcony overlooking the exhibit area where everyone else was gathered.
At Conference on the Parties 4 (COP4), in Buenos Aires, there was no space granted them. It took the UN 4 days to come up with a location for the Sovereignty International Booth.
One has to wonder why dissent must be hidden so far away! We do know that socialism promotes the control of information to the masses.
Are you feeling controlled by Kyoto yet?
Are you feeling that prick of concern over how long you’ll be able to voice dissent on any politically incorrect matter?
Approximately 3% of the countries are Annex 1 countries and bound by Kyoto’s restrictive provisions. We are an Annex 1 country. The other approximately 97% countries are not bound by Kyoto’s restrictions.
The non-Annex 1 nations are free to use as much fossil fuels as they wish, and are designated recipients of the wealth transfer required of the Annex 1 countries. (Carbon Credits spoken of here)
A country may not stand against an international treaty, such as Kyoto, without facing sanctions, sanctions from the predominantly ‘left’ international community and from the predominantly ‘left’ media. They control the dissemination of news. The opposing viewpoint is silenced.
In any debate where only one side is heard, it is impossible to make an informed decision. We can only make a decision based on the biassed information we are given.
If a dissenting country proclaims, to the U.N. that it is sovereign and able to make their own laws regarding their approach to green house gases, then they are disciplined like a wayward child. If they come into the fold and don’t follow through on the commitment set by the UN, they are disciplined like wayward children. If they come in and obey international law, then they are ‘approved’. This is true whether or not the decisions of the U.N. are well thought out or knee jerk reactions.
The political left has ways of making us agree, including the controlling of information released!
Canada is a democratic country. Democracy is rule by the people. I know I didn’t have the option to vote myself submissive to these UN bureaucrats, did you?
Our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees us the right of dissent. The UN has silenced the voice of dissent.
Kyoto makes the U.N., rather than our elected government, authority over: how we use our natural resources; our nations finances; our approach to pollution.
Please remember that we are polluting our environment in other ways which Kyoto does not address. Land, water, and air pollution remain a health concern but Kyoto targets only green house gases. Even if our planet never warms another degree, if we’re all dying from asthma and other environmental health problems, we are really no better off. Canada needs to address all of these areas of pollution.
The UN has shown they will not allow voices of dissent to be heard. If there is no free exchange of ideas, if there is no right of dissent, what happens to our democracy? We will be living under the dictatorship of one world government. An unelected government which the Canadian Legislature is submissive to.
Canada will no longer be a sovereign country.
Does Kyoto affect Canada’s sovereignty? You bet it does!
The opposition forced through a motion weakening Canadian’s voices in this country. It’s time we told the political left that we are not a socialist country and have no desire to be a socialist country.
Vote for a free Canada! Vote for a Canada where public dissent is accepted. Vote for the heritage of freedom which we have historically lived under! Vote for the Christian Heritage Party!

A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism
During recent decades, new scientific evidence from many scientific disciplines such as cosmology, physics, biology, "artificial intelligence" research, and others have caused scientists to begin questioning Darwinism's central tenet of natural selection and studying the evidence supporting it in greater detail.
Yet public TV programs, educational policy statements, and science textbooks have asserted that Darwin's theory of evolution fully explains the complexity of living things. The public has been assured that all known evidence supports Darwinism and that virtually every scientist in the world believes the theory to be true.
The scientists on this list dispute the first claim and stand as living testimony in contradiction to the second. Since Discovery Institute launched this list in 2001 over 600 scientists have courageously stepped forward to sign their names. The list is growing and includes scientists from the US National Academy of Sciences, Russian, Hungarian and Czech National Academies, as well as from universities such as Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and others.
A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism
"We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged."
There is scientific dissent to Darwinism. It deserves to be heard.

The issue of slavery was brought up by NDP member of Parliament, Bill Blaikie earlier this month after a screening of Amazing Grace: The William Wilberforce Story. His comments from the House of Commons are posted below.
This is the CHP Policy on slavery & child labour
7 - A crusade against slave & child labour
Since 1995, the CHP—and only the CHP—has been campaigning for Canada’s federal government to take the lead in a world crusade against slavery and exploitive child labour. Repeated appeals from the CHP Leader to the Prime Minister have all been met with silence, while the federal cabinet pushes more and more ‘Team Canada’ missions to develop trade with nations which still use these odious practices.
Most Canadians aren’t aware of how widespread slavery is today. Because slavery was abolished in Canada in the 1830s and in the United States 30 years later, we tend to think that slavery is a relic of the past. But it’s not. Slavery is widely practiced in North Africa and in the radical Islamic nations of the Middle East; but nowhere is it as openly flaunted as in Sudan and China. In addition, those nations are the world’s worst offenders in persecution of religious and political minorities. But others are indictable, too: Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Vietnam, Uzbekistan, Cuba, Algeria, Libya, Burma...
How can a modest, middle-power nation like Canada influence all these nations? Well, certainly not by unlimited trade with them!
China now commands about
25% of the retail market in Canada—and some of the goods on our supermarket shelves are made by slave labour! In addition, it is now well-documented that China imprisons and tortures religious and political minorities (like Christians and Falun Gong), uses them as slave labour, and sometimes even executes them to sell their organs to highly-placed Communist officials, or on the international black market.
Canada could lead a world crusade to compel those nations to observe humane standards—if they wish to continue to trade with us. We could simply require that importers who wish to bring goods into Canada from those countries must obtain a document from the offices of Canadian Trade Commissioner Service abroad, certifying that no slave or exploitive child labour was used in the production of those goods. Otherwise the goods would be embargoed.
Many popular products would disappear from our stores—but domestic manufacturers would soon arise to fill the need. The prices might be higher, but your neighbour would be working instead of drawing welfare, and your tax burden would be commensurately reduced.
Canada alone could not bring these barbaric nations to treat their minorities in a civilized manner; but remember that Canada was a leader in the world struggle against Apartheid; if we took a lead in the crusade against slavery and child labour, we could soon win the support of the Scandinavian countries, then Europe, and eventually the United States.
It can be done!
We can defeat slave and child labour, and the oppression of religious and political minorities, if we have the will to try—to even make a start. To date, Ottawa has shown that it values trade more than humanity. The only way to change that policy is to support the only federal party that has been campaigning against these evils: the CHP. Even if the CHP were not elected, significant support for the Christian Heritage Party would send Ottawa a message: Canadians want these and other moral issues addressed by our government.
It all starts with YOU, and your support—your membership in the CHP, your donation to help fund the CHP’s crusade for biblical principles in public policy, and your support for the CHP at the ballot-box.
Will you join in our crusade?

House of Commons Hansard - February 8, 2007
Hon. Bill Blaikie (Elmwood-Transcona, NDP):
Mr. Speaker, last night, thanks to the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, members of Parliament were given an opportunity to preview the movie Amazing Grace, which tells the story of British MP William Wilberforce's long fight to abolish slavery. This superb movie was produced to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the British Empire.
At a time when human slavery is making a comeback illicitly, in a way that calls for concerted international action, it is important to remember that before 1807 slavery was a legal and an integral part of the imperial economy. Wilberforce had to contend with arguments that the abolition of slavery would make Britain less competitive, that it would advantage Britain's enemies, that it would eliminate jobs and that government revenues would be affected.
Wilberforce contended not only with the sugar barons and profiteers, but against an embedded economic system that contradicted God's will for human equality. He insisted that the moral thing to do was the best thing to do and that the example would catch on as ultimately it did. Surely we would do well to heed this insight when dealing with the issues of our own time.

By 2008-2012, Annex 1 countries (That's us) must reduce our green house gas emissions by an average of 5% below their 1990 levels. We are presently up 24% (2004), some say as high as 30% (now), above 1990 levels.
This means that over the next few years we must decrease our green house gas emissions by 29% to 35%.... approximately 1/3. This would be challenging in the extreme!
Should we fail to meet these targets then, according to the Kyoto Protocol, we must purchase carbon credits from other countries. Non-Annex 1 countries have no green house gas emission restrictions. When one of these countries implement a project which will decrease their green house gas emissions, then they receive a Carbon Credit which they can sell to Annex 1 countries.
In other words, we would purchase carbon credits to make up for our not having achieved our Kyoto target. We are, in effect, paying a fine which will gain us nothing towards our standard of living, increasing our GDP or any other positive achievement for Canadians. It is just an expense which benefits another country.
These non-Annex 1 countries include: North Korea; China; and Iran. Thus we are reducing our economy and may be building the economy of countries which seek the destruction of our way of life. Foolishness!
We are selling our children's financial future to other countries with no actual asset gained.
We must learn to control our pollution: land; sea; and air. We must invest in research and development to decrease pollutants in all areas. We must reduce our dependance on fossil fuels and use renewable, non-polluting fuels. We must protect our water supply. We must find new ways to deal with our garbage.
There’s a lot we need to invest in. Kyoto is not one of those things.
The CHP does not support the Kyoto Protocol because it is not good for Canada.

According to information released today the number of Canadians killed in traffic accidents increased by 7% in 2005.
''We're concerned any time we see fatalities going up,'' said Chris White, the Canadian Automobile Association's vice-president of public affairs. ''A lot of the roads and highways that are currently in existence were never really designed for the types of numbers that are currently being used by them.''
This shows a real need for the CHP's Infrastructure Improvement Plan.
The Bank of Canada should be ordered to loan, interest free, money to the Provinces and Municipalities to rebuild our roads and highways. This will ensure our roads are designed for the use we make of them.
Interest free loans from The Bank Of Canada are how our infrastructure was built after WW2. It created the biggest building boom ever in this country.
As the Provinces and Municipalities repay the money to the Bank of Canada, it is removed from circulation. This ensures that the money put into circulation is non-inflationary.
Another innovative solution to today's problems by the Christian Heritage Party!
Remember when Canada ranked first on the United Nation's list of the best places to live?
Join the CHP today to help elect a government that has the political will to return Canada to her former glory.

“I am not politically minded”
How often have we said this to ourselves? We’re all busy with so many other things... raising our family, furthering our careers, church involvement, or the pursuit of other interests. Our finances are tied up with children’s braces, little league and philanthropy.
There are times when we don’t have the energy or finances left over to take on another task.
But we are seeing a crisis in this country which should involve all of us at some level.
We are seeing our Charter freedoms eroded, as in the increased conviction of people by Human Rights Tribunals.
A clinical psychologist, such as Dr. Chris Kempling, is not allowed to speak his conviction that homosexuality can be treated. The question here is not whether homosexuals can become heterosexual but whether a registered clinical psychologist can offer to treat those who wish to be treated. We all know the end result. Dr. Kempling, and if we take this as a test case all psychologists, may not publicly offer treatment to homosexuals... even if the homosexual wants treatment. How will those who wish treatment find it if our psychologists must work underground on this matter?
What about our political freedoms? Dr. Kempling was again brought before a Human Rights Tribunal for presenting the platform of the registered political Party which he represents. Is our future one that prohibits us from dissent from government opinion? There is a name for regimes like that... dictatorships.
We are not all able to get involved in political activity, however, we should all support political activity. The men and women who are able to go on the frontlines do so at the personal expense of themselves and a few supporters.
Do you believe that the Christian Heritage Party reflects your political viewpoint? Have you supported the CHP by joining as a member? This affirms your support for our political direction.
If you’re a member, are you supporting us nationally and/or our Electoral District Association, with your prayers, words of encouragement and with your finances? This helps ensure that there are candidates to run in an election. It helps to ensure that funds are available to promote this Party both locally, provincially and nationwide.
Many hands make light work. Will you offer two hours to set up and host a ‘kitchen meeting'? This is not a great time commitment but has incredible value to me and the Christian Heritage Party.
We may not all be politically minded but we do all need to enter into the politics of this country. This needs to be done, not just by voting, but between elections. This ensures that Canadians, and in particular residents of York-Simcoe, are given a choice to support a Party that will fight for the freedoms once taken for granted in this country.
