People cannot appreciate the seriousness of the situation if the interconnections are not understood.
SHORTCUT: if you have time limitations, read only the CHRONOLOGY.
The information in this series of postings, from the public record (not my imaginings), shows:
- the intention for radioactive waste disposal from a number of countries IN ONE PLACE
- the cooperation between Brad Wall (Premier of Saskatchewan), Stephen Harper (Prime Minister of Canada) and the University of Saskatchewan (Peter MacKinnon, Richard Florizone, Karen Chad, etc.) to make Saskatchewan the nuclear centre of Canada
- the co-opting and “Selling Out” of the University of Saskatchewan to serve the interests of the nuclear/uranium industry
- what is happening in Saskatchewan and in Alberta is the plan of the corporate “energy” interests of the transnational American corporations.
- that this is the “SPP” agenda enacted
- the Government of Canada nor the Government of Saskatchewan (or Alberta) have a mandate for what they are doing. Nor does the University of Saskatchewan have a mandate.
- what is being done is in spite of citizen protest in various provinces right across the country
- we, the citizens of Canada, are the ones putting up the money and losing our sovereignty. The money is diverted through the Government and through the University of Saskatchewan to serve the corporate interest.
- The industry is also funded if they can privatize and control “electricity”.
- We will pay the huge costs of radioactive waste disposal, high power transmission lines, expensive electricity on our power bills, extravagant salaries, shareholder “profits”, poisoning of the environment and then nuclear weapons. (The Government, the University and our Utility bills are the industry’s only access to our wallets.)
- it doesn’t matter where it’s happening in Canada, it is a matter for us all
From our past work:
As with GMO’s, on the Nuclear/uranium issue there is no debate or decision made in Parliament. In effect there is no democracy. (On November 29, 2009, “Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada signs a nuclear co-operation agreement with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan as way to trade uranium and nuclear technology with India”.)
As with GMO’s, as with Nuclear/uranium, the last two postings alert us to the undermining of Governance and the University of Saskatchewan, our knowledge base and science, by the extremely corrupt pharmaceutical corporations:
- November 19th posting (“H1N1 (or nukes or gmo’s or energy) in the context of “Selling Out”: the larger issue.”)
- November 28th email (“URGENT Petition regarding Pfizer appointment to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR”))
The information assembled in the following postings clearly demonstrates that the nuclear/uranium story is only another extension of the imposition of
this same corporatist/fascist model of governance.
HELP NEEDED FINDING A QUOTE FROM PIERRE TRUDEAU:
If anyone can find it, would you mind sending me the quote from Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada (1968-79 and 1980-84)? He said words to the effect that (as I recall) the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (which he was instrumental in achieving), although helpful, would do nothing to protect us from Canadian politicians who will sell us out.
The only similar quote (and not the one I’m looking for) from Trudeau that I could find is:
“Society must take every means at its disposal to defend itself against the emergence of a parallel power which defies the elected power”.
We are FREE people, IF WE CHOOSE TO BE. We are in the process of giving up everything that previous generations of Canadians have worked hard and long to establish, in some instances at great personal sacrifice.
We must break out of illusionary constraints. The information that follows which is the product of our working together, must be forwarded to people you would not normally forward it to.
People cannot act if they don’t have information. LARGE numbers of informed people is the only way to overcome Stephen Harper and Brad Wall. It is the only way to convince Richard Florizone and Karen Chad (Canadian Nuclear Studies Centre at the University of Saskatchewan) that they are dupes for a larger agenda. Consider this a gift to them, that they may not become quislings.
