There are a number of people saying Jody Wilson-Raybould (JWR) for Prime Minister. Perhaps folks need to reflect on this a bit. The only way I can express why, is to look at the legislation that she, and Jane Philpotts, voted in favour of.

Bill C-48 An Act respecting the regulation of vessels that transport crude oil or persistent oil to or from ports or marine installations located along British Columbia’s north coast. Basically a moratorium on tankers entering and leaving a port in BC.

Bill C-68 An Act to amend the Fisheries Act and other Acts in consequence - violates private property, is unconstitutional (I have the rulings why) and is the Federal government attempting to expand its jurisdiction over provincial jurisdiction. It also unconstitutionally allows the Minister to prevail over the Governor General. From what I have seen that is a real ‘no-no”.

Bill C-69 An Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to amend the Navigation Protection Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts – another disaster for business and employment...

Bill C-71 An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms - again unconstitutional as a number of documents express.

So, you see, these are just 4 of the multitude of Bills JWR and Philpotts voted in favour of - including the BIG ONE - the amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada where a big corp., can buy justice and government is selling justice. This was the biggest unconstitutional act government has implemented.

There is a reason why justice is not to be bought and/or sold. This goes back through our Constitution and is a foundation to rid people of corruption in government. With this being opened up any and all elected officials, bureaucrats and any entity is open to being bought. Any political party that supported this does not serve the people of Canada - they are serving their corporate friends. This definitely needs to be repealed or Canada is on the slippery slope of becoming yet another Venezuela.

We as Canadians shouldn't have to be constantly fighting our own government just to live our lives...and that's what's happening. The majority of the legislation, being passed, does not even need to be there... and government isn't doing anything but harming the people of this country.

So, it's up to the people of Canada to contact their federal MPs to get rid of this insidious legislative enactment. Our Criminal Code has been bastardized enough! We all need to unite under our flag and tell these politicians (and their back room/bureaucrats) we will not accept this any longer.

Canadians are not for sale!
