Now that the Canadian Parliament is back in  session, the rebirth of Bill C-6 looms large on the horizon, bringing  with it a threat that belies its benign ~  sounding formal name, “The  Canada Consumer Product Safety Act”. The bill, pushed hard by the  government in its last session, but abandoned when Parliament was  prorogued, is due to be reintroduced within weeks.
C-6’s language is a constitutional nightmare:  within it are eight blatant violations, ranging from warrant-less search  and seizure to being guilty until proven innocent, in a complete  diversion from due process of law, all based on the opinion of a Health  Canada inspector, and adjudicated by the Health Minister.
 
 However, as  dire the portents of these breaches of the Constitution are, they pale  in comparison to the catastrophic effects of Sections 2 and 14, which  make Canadians “subject to the dictates of foreign authorities” ~  authorities which are unnamed and undefined, but may include governments  and associations. (Read trade groups, WTO, WHO, NAFTA, etc.)
What that means, in plain English, is that if a  group to which Canada is signatory decides to adopt a standard which  violates Canadian law, that standard must be adopted, regardless of  existing law, because these groups are not social clubs, as the WTO says  on its website:
“The WTO Agreement is a treaty ~  the international equivalent of a contract. It is self-evident that in  an exercise of their sovereignty, and in pursuit of their own respective  national interests, the Members of the WTO have made a bargain. In  exchange for the benefits they expect to derive as Members of the WTO,  they have agreed to exercise their sovereignty according to the  commitments they have made in the WTO Agreement.”
Just one of those little things they failed to  wave under our noses before signing us up for foreign control of our  sovereign laws, a fait accompli that is only now becoming apparent.
What’s curious is that nobody seems to want to  talk about it: it is the penultimate elephant in the living room. But  the effect of these seemingly-beneficial agreements is, in fact, the  foundation ~ by stealth ~ of global governance.
When Prime Minister Stephen  Harper spoke in Davos a while back, he spoke of “enlightened  sovereignty”. His hearts-and-flowers definition of that term included  phrases like “the rising tide must lift all boats, not just our own”,  and “we have to govern our sovereignty according not only to what is  good for us, but what’s good for everybody.” How humane of him.
What he fails to point out, however, is that in  order to reach that objective, and define what is “good for everybody”,  there must be an international platform to decide for all.
Unless my eyes deceive me, that means a platform of global governance of national sovereignties forming, piecemeal, all over the place. And each nation has one vote at the table; one guy to represent the entire nation, against all the others. In the WTO, that’s one vote to 193. You, the elector, don’t get a vote, and what you think plays no part whatever in the decision the group makes.

Think I’m kidding?
“Enlightened sovereignty” is the harbinger of the global government we’ve all heard about, the “New World Order” described by Bush the First nearly 20 years ago, on September 11, 1991. Because first-world nations have gone treaty-crazy in the past century, we are all bound together by international contracts which create obligations upon us all, obligations which till now have not appeared onerous, but rather sat on the back burner, simmering.
Somebody just cranked the heat:  the London Daily Mail reported recently that the European Union is  arranging to take over the economic policy of Britain. This means that  Britons will no longer have any say in their own economy, but will  rather be “subject to the dictates of foreign authorities.”
Sound familiar? It ought to, because it’s  exactly what is lurking in the language of Bill C-6.
It’s exactly the sort of enforcement one would  expect from the language on the WTO website as quoted above, and it’s  the same thing spoken of by Stephen Harper when he mentions “enlightened  sovereignty”.
Connect those dots, and what you see is as plain  as the nose on your face: it is the destruction of nations in favour of  trade, benefiting multinational corporations who consult with and  direct the actions of governments all over the world. It is fascism,  which Italian dictator Benito Mussolini aptly named “corporatism”,  because it is governance at the whim of big business, not by or for the  people.
While we lay sleeping, we are losing our  sovereign right to make our own laws. The “elites” of the world are  accomplishing this by convincing us that in order to get along with each  other, we needed these agreements, instead of our own honour, good  will, and a firm handshake.
Unless the patriots of the world stand together  and say no, prepare to say goodbye to your democracy: it was nice while  it lasted.
