When I attended the Alberta Surface Rights meeting in Camrose on the 22nd, I discovered the missing link.
The missing link tying together the new Animal Health Act and premise ID, with the Alberta Land Stewardship Act (known as Bill 36).
Here’s how it works;
Producers of the OIE listed 28 species of animals, including cattle, hogs, sheep, horses, chickens etc. have never been governed under legislations, except for “confined feeding operations” (CFOs). Ranchers and acreage owners have always been FREE to buy and keep these critters with no interference from government agencies, ie: no license or permit was required. Excepting, those residing in towns and cities that have banned ownership of livestock within their corporate limits.
Now, under the Alberta Animal Health Act, Traceability Premises Identification Regulation #200/2008 it states:
1 In this Regulation,
(a) “applicant means a person who applies for a premises identification account and at least one premises identification number;
…(h) “recordable animal” means [and it lists the 28 species]
Then under “Premises identification” it states:
2 (5) No owner of a recordable animal shall breed, keep, raise, display, assemble or dispose of the recordable animal unless that owner
has a premises identification account.
So what happened last year, was the government of Alberta rolled out a two-part “program” giving livestock producers a cash payment. The TRICK was that the second promised “half” of the payment could only be obtained if producers “APPLIED” for a premise identification account & number. It is rumored around 80% of those eligible “applied”.
Now, this Animal Health Act and its’ Regulations constitute a “statutory consent” governing over the livestock producers, whether intensive or not.
Along comes the Land Stewardship Act (LSA) and within this Soviet style legislation is the means to extinguish our rights to raise any of these animals.
In the definitions of the LSA is “statutory consent”:
2 (z)“statutory consent” means a permit, licence, registration,approval,
authorization, disposition, certificate, allocation, agreement or
instrument issued under or authorized by an enactment or regulatory instrument;
Further, in the LSA it states:
Statutory consents may be affected
11 A regional plan may, by express reference to a statutory consent or type or class of statutory consent, affect, amend or extinguish the statutory consent or the terms or conditions of the statutory consent.
In plain and simple terms, under the LSA a regional plan can only "extinguish” a “statutory consent” if it is issued under or authorized by an enactment or regulatory instrument. Is it clear as mud yet?
Before the new Animal Health Act, our right to raise these critters was not legislated. Today, we are privileged producers granted the right to raise these animals by law.
The Government of Alberta has now decreed, what we have given the citizen/slave (under legislation), we can now take away (under the LSA). Are you starting to get it?
Our Alberta Government, Department of Agriculture bribed you to apply for a Premise ID account, only so that they could make a contract between you and them which constitutes a “statutory consent”; so that under the LSA they could “affect, amend or extinguish” your premise identification account, thereby forcing you out of business, and maybe even starving you (like the Ukrainian famine under Lenin and Stalin).
This is a mechanism for the Government of Alberta to take away your livelihood without taking away your land.
