Task Force Meeting in Grimshaw

[ASRG]

forage: you do my heart a lot of good, that there are younger people who get it!
I have never been shy to let people know who I am.......or how I think!.......I'm usually the biggest mouth at the party!!!
My name is Douglas Malsbury. I live just east of Penhold, Alberta (I'm 100% cow and grain) and my people came here in 1903. Live on the original place.
The reason I got involved in property rights issues was simple.....why were we, the people who settled this bloody place, being treated like garbage! Why did some foreign corporations have more say over our property than us?
Somewhere, along the line, the government lost their focus of who really matters, and it is my belief they need to get a wake up call of who owns this damned province?
It isn't Encana. It isn't Apache. It isn't the "flavor of the day" oil company
....it is guys like you and me!
How come when there are $ Billions, if not $ Trillions of dollars of oil and gas beiong pumped out of the ground every year, we the landowners are recieving peanuts? This is our GD property and we get a pittance? What is with that?
That isn't right.......you know it....I know it?
It is time we said "ENOUGH"! No more screwing us. Time to start taking back what is ours!

May I suggest that at the beginning of these meetings (to come yet) that a vote be taken by the crowd as to how "they" want the meeting to be conducted.... ie: open forum for all versus the divide and conquer method being imposed upon these meetings. Just an idea.


Secondly, there are some really excellent comments on this very same situation from the American perspective (yet it applies everywhere)... which I found at the website:
www.crossroad.to/Quotes/globalism/agenda-21.htm
The heading is "Agenda 21 & the United Nations" excerpts from a book by Henry Lamb, executive vice president of "The Environmental Conservation Organization Inc."

Here are a few excerpts that I find very educational for the public in general:

a quote from the UN Conference on Human Settlements in 1976 - "Land...cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. The provision of decent dwellings and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole. Public control of land use is therefore indispensable...."

and check out these policy recommendations - "Recommendation D.1

(a) Public ownership or effective control of land in the public interest is the single most important means of...achieving a more equitable distribution of the benefits of development whilst assuring that environmental impacts are considered.

(b) Land is a scarce resource whose management should be subject to public surveillance or control in the interest of the nation.

(d) Governments must maintain full jurisdiction and exercise complete sovereignty over such land with a view to freely planning development of human settlements...."

from the "Wildlands project" description for biodiversity and how to protect nature - ""...that at least half of the land area of the 48 conterminous states should be encompassed in core reserves and inner corridor zones (essentially extensions of core reserves) within the next few decades.... Nonetheless, half of a region in wilderness is a reasonable guess of what it will take to restore viable populations of large carnivores and natural disturbance regimes, assuming that most of the other 50 percent is managed intelligently as buffer zones. Eventually, a wilderness network would dominate a region.... with human habitations being the islands. The native ecosystem and the collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs and desires of humans."

Note: native ecosystems take precedence OVER humans.

A quick read of these few pages found at the crossroads link, might help people understand where all these bills are coming from. There is an agenda and it involves removing control of our activities and our environment from the individual and/or property owner, to the government or as in the Land Stewardship Act... turning over control to non-elected "Stewardship Ministers".

All one need do is look at Greece and Italy to understand how quickly a soveriegn nation can be taken over by non-elected technocrats (corrupt bankers) who claim to be acting in the "best interest" of the public.

THERE CAN BE NO "PUBLIC GOOD" WHEN WE LIVE AS THOUGH WE ARE ALL OBEDIENT GLOBAL CITIZENS. Globalization and the newly created interdependence of trade... has created - is creating a complete lack of necessity for local, provincial, and even national governments.

Alberta is the primary area of attack against property rights and individual rights, because we are still the most vocal and well-armed populace in Canada. Should this agenda continue without forceful resistance, you might as well kiss your children's and your grandchilren's futures good-bye. Don't just tell these crazy facilitators and MLAs "No" tell them "Hell NO!"...
