Bill 36 Lousana video

[ASRG]

farmers son: It is unfortunate that most urbanites will miss the "big picture" and consider the land grab bills as nothing more than a farmer issue.
The fact is these four bills take away "rule of law" which is the basis of our parlimentary democracy. When a government takes away your right to be compensated for real property and denies you access to the courts to protect that property......it is time for everyone to be very afraid!
Today they take my property (bill 24-pore space).....tommorrow they can take your house, your car, your bank account!
Bill 50, the Electric Statutes Act, will affect every person in Alberta. Large increases in transmission costs will not only affect everyones personal power bill, but will drive businesses out of the province....so you might lose your job as well! For what?...so large power generators can export electricity to California for free? And a couple of "inside job" companies can make $billions building those lines?
Unfortunately most urban Albertans don't have a clue what is going on with these land grab bills (and how it changes completely the government/citizen relationship) and that is a shame.

Farmers_son you raise some good points. I spoke to Joe after the first meeting I attended on these bills and told him I thought we needed to make this more than a rural landowner issue and I think he agreed but felt we needed to get the rural landowners on side first. I still think we really need to get the urban/ non-farmers active on this as we need the numbers. But I don't think it's a case of pulling in uninvolved people to back us - these urbanites are subject to the same rules under these new laws. It is my understanding that the whole province is covered by these regional plans so the city dweller in Edmonton or wherever can have his marriage licence revoked just the same as a rancher in a rural area. They could also presumably have the right to their property (house) rescinded just like we could as they are all there by permission of the province at the moment. So I fail to understand why we have not been making this a province wide campaign as all citizens are affected.
