Kieth Wilson Bill 36, 50 Meeting in Brooks

[per]

The question and answer session was also good with thoughtful questions and direct answers. I think loric there had to be north of 300 because the main hall had 400 chairs and another 150 on the side. If those side folks were all in the main hall it would have been full.

FYI...
I could not find anything, so I started
a Facebook Group this morning to try to
raise the awareness and help people link
into what is going on with these bills.
Albertans against bills 19, 36 & 50.
Feel free to look up, join and comment.
I think the urban population needs to be
aware this affects them too...
Example: work and save and buy a house
in Calgary backing on the Bow River.
Minister decides to make a park for the
public good...Goodbye house and title,
compensation $0, recourse non-existent.
It is not just a bill against
agriculture.

Looked it up when I was updating the BSE class action facebook page.

Aren't we all just turning into quite the bunch of activists? A lot of people have left the cattle business, but the ones that are still around are proving to be a very tough bunch. ;-)

for DVD's write to me at lkczar@hotmail.com. I think that a recording of the Brooks mtg was made by Keith, and hope to have that available at some time also.

NOTE: On the Rutherford radio show on Friday, Minister Mel Knight stated many false claims. He spoke after Danielle Smith of WRA was interviewed.

I note that Minister Knight may have "good intentions" as far as what government has planned for the Land Stewardship ACT; however, I don't care what their "intentions are", I am only interested in the facts as the law is written.

Another glaring thing that popped out at me after hearing the Minister speak, was Section 9 (2)(c) which states,regarding the regional plans:

"...whether or not another enactment deals with the same, similar or associated matters, make, as part of the regional plan, law on any matter within the legislative authority of
the Legislature that is designed to advance or implement, or to both advance and implement, the purposes of this Act."

This is the silver bullet that grants these regional plan and planners (final say being Cabinet), the AUTHORITY OF THE LEGISLATURE. It gives Cabinet the right to create, pass and encompass LAW visa the "regional plans". This is illegal, as only the "Legislative Assembly" can pass laws.

Cabinet has traditionally held the right, visa the direct wording of various ACTS, to "make regulations" only.
