This national letter-writing campaign encourages residents to urge local councils to reconsider their participation in the FCM ICLEI Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program.
𝟏. 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬:
Citizens will emphasize the PCP program’s extensive data collection requirements, which track community energy and waste use. This data collection may infringe on privacy, raising trust issues about how personal and municipal data is managed by third-party organizations.
𝟐. 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐚𝐱 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐬:
The campaign will point out the significant costs associated with the PCP program, including green building standards, electric vehicles, and energy audits. These costs could lead to higher taxes or strain municipal budgets, adding financial pressure for residents who already support provincial and federal climate initiatives.
𝟑. 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲:
Letters will underline the importance of local decision-making. The PCP program, influenced by global organizations like ICLEI, risks shifting control away from local officials, potentially forcing councils to adopt sustainability targets that may not align with specific local needs, especially in rural areas.
𝟒. 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬:
Participants will raise awareness about the PCP mandates’ effects on housing, agriculture, and energy. For example, green building requirements can increase construction costs and worsen housing affordability, while restrictive land-use policies can limit agricultural productivity. Additionally, net-zero targets could threaten energy security by reducing reliance on traditional energy sources critical for Canadian winters.
𝟓. 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:
The campaign suggests that councils adopt community-focused environmental measures over global programs

Many Albertans feel excluded from major provincial decisions, creating frustration and weakening trust in government. Establishing a fair and transparent referendum process with clear rules, accessible information, public engagement, and honest vote counting could help ensure people feel heard and confident in the results. The ideal outcome is a more open and trusted government that strengthens community unity and public confidence across Alberta.

Bill C18 has made it more difficult for Canadians to access, discover, and share news online, affecting how individuals stay informed and engage with news content. Repealing or reforming the legislation could remove these barriers and restore open access to online news sharing, creating a more accessible and connected information environment for Canadians.

Richard Wagner should step down as Chief Justice of Canada because they feel his actions have weakened trust in the court. This loss of confidence makes the public worry about fairness, but transparency, open discussion, and stronger accountability could help rebuild trust. If addressed, people would feel more secure and confident that the justice system is functioning fairly. Please read my Substack to learn more.

The permanent shutdown of Weatheradio in March 2026 would remove a critical, resilient source of weather alerts that functions independently of internet and cellular networks, reducing public safety. Concerned individuals argue that Environment and Climate Change Canada should reverse this decision to preserve reliable emergency warning access for all communities. Keeping Weatheradio operating would ensure that people can continue receiving vital alerts even without phones or internet.

Taxes are rising in Halifax, NS, making it difficult for residents to afford living expenses, leading to stress and potential relocation. The impact includes reduced funds for essentials and activities, increasing financial strain. Solutions such as tax relief for low-income individuals, budget optimization, and community input could help balance tax rates. Ideally, a balanced tax system would alleviate financial pressure, enhance residents' quality of life, and foster a stable community.

Bill C 9 in Canada presents challenges due to unclear amendments, creating difficulties in understanding and applying the law, particularly concerning religious expression. This ambiguity could lead to fear among individuals of all faiths about expressing religious beliefs, such as quoting the Bible, due to potential legal repercussions. The proposed solution emphasizes protecting Canadians' constitutional rights to practice their faith freely. The ideal outcome is for the government to ensure clarity in the law, preventing any form of oppression and allowing individuals to practice their faith without fear.

Digital ID systems pose a significant threat to individual freedom by potentially granting governments excessive control over citizens' access to essential services like banking, healthcare, and communication. The centralization of control could lead to instant punishment of dissent, as evidenced by past abuses in Canada. To counter this, it's crucial to reject mandatory Digital ID laws, advocate for privacy rights, and support decentralized technologies, ensuring technology enhances freedom rather than restricts it. The ideal outcome is a society where citizens maintain control over their identities and privacy, with transparent and accountable governance that safeguards basic rights.

In Canada, individuals are facing the issue of being unilaterally de-banked, losing access to essential banking services without clear reasons. This challenge impacts their ability to manage finances, causing stress and complicating daily life. Proposed solutions include banks providing clearer reasons for account closures, adopting fairer policies, and enhancing communication, alongside government regulations to ensure universal access to banking services. The ideal outcome is equal access for all Canadians to banking services, facilitating easier financial management and reducing stress.

The installation of new traffic cameras at Victoria Park presents challenges related to privacy concerns and potential disruptions to traffic flow. These issues may affect how safe people feel and the efficiency of daily commutes. Proposed solutions include installing clear signage about the cameras, ensuring secure data storage, and optimizing traffic light timings to enhance flow. Successfully addressing these concerns will lead to enhanced privacy protection and smoother traffic, improving overall safety and travel efficiency for the community.

Better traffic management is needed at intersections to alleviate congestion and enhance safety, as current conditions lead to delays and accidents affecting everyone. The implementation of smart traffic lights, additional pedestrian crossings, increased public transportation options, and improved signage could improve traffic flow and safety. The ideal outcome is safer, less congested intersections, resulting in quicker, stress-free travel and a safer community environment.

Service delays are causing significant frustration and stress due to prolonged waiting times for essential services.

LocalResistance.org is an international, but local, neighbourhood-based cooperative established in March 2023. Its purpose is to develop local networking and liberty defence strategies to thwart the implementation of global corporate governance at the municipal level. It is also an embryo of hope that is redefining the structure of a free society and the meaning of peaceful cooperation. We already have over 887 members in 35 countries but we need thousands of members in each city or rural area to become truly effective.

LocalResistance.org provides a safe, anonymous search tool to easily locate neighbours in your own city or town who share your concerns and who are willing to stand together and press for truth locally. By linking locally we can find strength and support, we can communicate, coordinate, educate and resist, we can pool resources and organize alternatives.

Use this website to locate neighbours who are willing to organize local resistance and boycott any business, organization or institution that tries to enforce mask, vaccine or any other mandates in your town or city. The more of us that get involved, the safer each one of us becomes. There is strength in numbers, that is why it is so important to spread the word and organize locally. If a neighbour is hassled or treated unfairly then the local team can mobilize resources to help the victim.

Please help us grow alternative opportunities for our children and grandchildren. Check it out. Spread the word. Thank-you.

Ontario municipalities are participating in the ICLEI Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) Program and implementing Climate Action Plans that impose significant financial, legal, and administrative burdens—yet these programs are not mandated by federal or provincial governments. Municipalities have the authority to opt out and focus on local priorities that better serve residents.

This campaign encourages residents to contact their municipal councils and urge them to pause, reassess, and withdraw from these costly initiatives.

Why It Matters:

Ontario is a Net Carbon Sink: Our forests, wetlands, and agricultural lands absorb more CO₂ than the province emits, making costly net-zero policies unnecessary.
Financial and Legal Liabilities: Participation costs range from $8.2 million to over $200 million, with municipalities bearing full responsibility while ICLEI and FCM waive liability.
Lack of Transparency: Many municipalities have entered these programs without public consultation or financial audits.
Privacy Concerns: The program requires extensive data collection from residents and businesses, posing potential privacy risks.
Local Priorities Ignored: Funds should be redirected toward housing, infrastructure, and public safety.
Key Points for Your Letter:

Participation is voluntary and not legally required.
Ontario’s natural environment already absorbs more CO₂ than we emit.
The program creates financial burdens with no guaranteed benefits.
Residents deserve transparency and consultation.
Funds should focus on real community needs.

The ongoing trade war between Canada and the US involves tariffs and trade barriers that negatively impact businesses and consumers by increasing costs and reducing sales, leading to job losses. To address this, both countries could negotiate fair trade agreements, lower tariffs, and remove trade barriers. Resolving the trade war would result in cheaper goods, thriving businesses, job preservation, and economic growth, fostering greater cooperation and peace between the two nations.

The Take Back Local Control campaign urges municipal councils to withdraw from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and restore local decision-making over land use, development, and funding priorities.

The FCM, once an advocate for municipalities, now prioritizes United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over the unique needs of rural and small communities. This shift has led to policies that:

Redirect population growth away from rural areas to high-density urban centers.
Restrict private property rights and local development opportunities.
Tie federal funding to sustainability mandates that may not align with local priorities.
Rural and small municipalities are increasingly disadvantaged, facing shrinking tax bases, service cutbacks, and economic stagnation while urban areas receive disproportionate funding and investment.

Wheatland County and the County of Stettler No. 6 have already withdrawn and called for a unified stance among rural municipalities. Your council can do the same. By leaving the FCM, municipalities can:

Reallocate membership fees to public engagement efforts, community programs, and initiatives that directly benefit local residents.

Foster collaboration with other rural and small towns also withdrawing from FCM to build independent advocacy and funding solutions.

Ensure land-use decisions are made by local representatives, not influenced by external organizations prioritizing global development goals.

This campaign empowers residents to urge their elected representatives to prioritize local governance over global agendas and take action to withdraw from the FCM. It’s time to put communities first.

In Ontario, Canada, vehicles—especially transport trucks—lingering in the left lane pose a safety hazard, worsened by foreign drivers unaware of Canadian laws and courtesy. The Highway Traffic Act (HTA) Section 147(1) states: "Any vehicle travelling upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at that time and place shall, where practicable, be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic or as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway." This applies to all, including trucks, which aren’t banned from the left lane but must keep right if slower than traffic flow. Foreign drivers, unfamiliar with this rule or the expectation that the left lane is for passing, often clog it, as do truckers passing slower rigs or maintaining speed. This must stop.
Ignorance of HTA Section 147(1) is no excuse. Foreign drivers from regions with different lane rules may not grasp Ontario’s "keep right except to pass" norm, lacking clear signage like Europe’s. Transport trucks, due to size and slow acceleration, amplify the danger when blocking the left lane. A car at 120 km/h nearing a truck at 90 km/h faces risks if forced to pass right—legal but less safe on busy highways like the 401. Tailgating, road rage, and collisions rise as a result. Ontario’s lax enforcement (a mere $85 fine) and rare ticketing let this persist, endangering lives.
Trucks can use the left lane to pass but must return right when impeding others per HTA Section 147(1). Foreign drivers and truckers need education—signs, campaigns, and stricter policing—to curb this. Without action, Ontario risks more crashes from this preventable chaos.

Teenage prodigy Andrea Kimi Antonelli made history by becoming the youngest driver to secure an F1 pole position at the Miami Grand Prix sprint event, marking the emergence of a new star in the sport. This achievement highlights his exceptional talent and potential impact on Formula 1's future. With continued success, Antonelli could redefine the standards for young drivers in the sport, showcasing that age is no barrier to excellence.

In 2018, international concern about glyphosate shot up when a U.S. groundskeeper who worked with the product won a lawsuit against Monsanto after his doctors testified the herbicide likely caused his terminal cancer. The verdict brought previously unseen Monsanto documents to light, which the judge said proved the company knew its products were “dangerous.”

The Nova Scotia Environment and Climate Change Department continues to approve the use of glyphosate despite places like Europe banning it

The challenge of foreign influence in Canadian politics is a critical issue that Canadians cannot afford to ignore. CSIS has repeatedly warned the government that 11 Members of Parliament (MPs) are under the influence of foreign governments, yet their identities remain undisclosed. This is alarming, as these individuals continue to shape policies that may not align with Canada's best interests.

Despite a judicial inquiry, the public remains in the dark, raising serious concerns about transparency and accountability. Why are these MPs still in office, and why is the public not being told who they are? Canadians should not have to accept the idea of representatives potentially under foreign control, especially as we head into an election. This undermines national security and the integrity of democratic institutions.

Voters deserve to know if any of their candidates are under investigation for treason or foreign influence. No one should have to vote without knowing the full background of those running for office. The refusal to disclose these names before the election is a disservice to Canadians and weakens democracy. Canadians must demand transparency to ensure that their representatives act in the best interests of the country, free from foreign control.

To address homelessness and addiction in British Columbia, we propose government investment in comprehensive facilities, funded by a minor tax contribution from BC's 5 million citizens. This initiative promises not only humanitarian benefits—providing shelter, healthcare, and rehabilitation—but also economic advantages through reduced healthcare costs and enhanced community safety. It's a small individual cost for a transformative societal impact, embodying Canadian values of compassion.

There has been increasing calls for the introduction of a CBDC in G20 countries, including Canada.

The absolute power to control all aspects of a Canadian digital currency would cause further erosion of financial privacy for Canadians.

The reliance on the central authority of the Crown to make policy decisions with such a system will hasten greater financial issues among Canadians.

Before any such system is introduced, there needs to be policies that removes these risks to Canadians.

As Canada faces a productivity crisis, the introduction of higher taxing on industry and consumers via the Carbon Tax means stifling industry from being competitive, and keeping people unable to get out of the affordability crisis.

Elected representatives across the country need to put forward a motion to repeal the recent increase, provide relief to all Canadians, and help make Canada more competitive in industry.

It's time to give Canadians some relief from the high tax burden.

The proposal to cut all foreign aid in Canada addresses the challenge of taxpayer dollars being spent without citizen input, with an annual expenditure of $12 billion. Redirecting these funds could tackle domestic issues such as homelessness and infrastructure development. Solutions include reducing foreign aid, allowing taxpayers to choose between foreign aid and local charity contributions, or eliminating foreign aid entirely to lower taxes. The ideal outcome is to completely cut foreign aid, providing citizens with more financial freedom to support causes they care about locally.

The City of Delta as well as other cities in the area have been extremely quiet when it comes to municipal issues that occur between the four-year election period, which has led to severe miscommunications with the public on issues cities have gone forward with.

Considering the specifics of the situation in Delta, our current Mayor and council have been silent on issues within the party (Achieving For Delta) which has caused major stir-ups in the political landscape of the city, resulting in many in Delta calling for the mayor to resign or blaming the councillors for not speaking out about their issues with the mayor.

This has become completely a political plot, whether to take down the mayor to form a new government, or simply to remove a mayor they did not believe supported the ideals of the region anymore- but this is happening two years before an election and very little news has come out of the issue, followed by a long silence.

This issue of silence needs to be addressed in City Hall, it is extremely unfortunate that the citizens of Delta have no say in the matter and have to wait another two years before they can vote again to put in new members to govern the city.
