Whither Canada?Rolf Auer, 4 November 2013

Two very important links:

(i) Proposed Constitutional resolutions:

http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/politics/inside-politics-blog/2013/11/cpc13-day-3---its-plenary-

time-part-1---constitutional-resolutions.html

(ii) Proposed policy resolutions:

http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/politics/inside-politics-blog/2013/11/cpc13-day-3---its-plenary-

time-part-2---policy-resolutions.html

Two pdfs can be downloaded by following the preceeding links.

Because (i) is internal to the Conservative Party of Canada, whereas (ii) affects all Canadians, Ishall work with (ii).

This is divided into three sections.(1) Canadas Social Fabric(Page 6)

(2) Role of Government, Taxation, and Crime (Page 15)

(3) Economic Development (Page 20) THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING SECTION

AT THE END: MORE LINKS TO NEWS ABOUT THESE POLICY RESOLUTIONS

(1) Canadas Social Fabric

1-01-134 (NEW) p.8

Re Medical Isotopes:

The CPC supports the production of medical isotopes.

My interpretation: none.

1-02-250 (MODIFICATION) p.9

Re Recognition of International Credentials:

-work with recognizedprofessional bodies to prequalify internationally trained individuals for

certain occupations as part of the immigration process

-We support developing a better system to identify Canadas occupations facing current labourmarket shortages and make the immigration system more flexible to ensure these needs can be

met.

My interpretation: appears to stress having immigrants fill current labour market shortages.

Re Agricultural Principles:

-We must seek to be the worlds best when it comes to the safety of our food supply. We will

encourage measures to require clear and accurate labeling of ingredients and country(ies) of

origin, and more rigorous safety testing of imported food products.

My interpretation: appears to anticipate Canadians wanting GMOs explicitly labeled.

1-04-210 (MODIFICATION) p.12Re Internet Connectivity:

-The CPC will protect privacy and fair access for all Canadians in all legislation and policy

endeavours. The CPC does not support online censorship nor regulation of content within thelimits permitted by the Criminal Code

My interpretation: NSA (CSEC) interference withand commercialization of (such as pay-per-click)the internet appears to be anticipated.

1-05-254 (MINOR MODIFICATION) p.13

Re Foreign Affairs Principles:

-We believe that Canadas international relations, trade and foreign aid policies should advance

the countrys economic interests while promoting human rights, democracy, and individualfreedom.

My interpretation: I suppose promoting other types of government (or lack of), i.e.

anarchosyndicalism, is out of the question. I also notice that economic interests come beforehuman rights, democracy, and individual freedom. Long live capitalist democracy!

1-06-015 (NEW) p.14Re Rights of Workers:

-allow Government to work with unions and employers to developand encourage use of

dispute mechanisms to avoid or minimize disruption of services to Canadians-oblige unions to utilize full, transparent annual financial reporting

-Fed Gov to legislate that Fed Pub Service unions and unions in federally regulated industries

explicitly detail political donations, donations to media organizations and to political activismand campaigns

My interpretation: makes it much more difficult for unionsespecially Fed Gov unionsto

exist. The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.Tacitus


4/21


Re Environmental Principles:

-We believe that the government, in its areas of jurisdiction and in collaboration with the

provinces and territories, continue to give priority to an effective national conservation strategy,

based on strong science and with superlative standards, providing necessary contiguous habitatareas for species and the protection of watersheds in all regions of the country.

My interpretation: considering that the Fed Gov recently finished UNprotecting Canadas

watersheds, the effect of this appears to transfer responsibility for these to other governments.

1-08-255 9 (NEW) p.16

Re Human Rights Abroad:

-The CPC believes that Canada must continue to defend the democratic countries of the Middle

East and the right of Israel to exist.

My interpretation: none.


Re Sexual Exploitation in Canada:

-The CPC rejects the concept of legalizing the purchase of sex

-human beings cannot be enslaved, bought, or sold-plans to target purchasers of sex, negate human trafficking, criminalize johns, pimps, brothels,

and sex trade workers.

My interpretation: so much for establishing the rights ofand the protecting and helping ofsex trade workers, and so much for Canada becoming as similarly enlightened as, say,

Amsterdam, with regard to what is permitted between two consenting adults. (Maybe the

Netherlands should sue Canada under CETA for unfair trade practices Dont look now, butCPC-brand puritanism is showing whitely stark above certain waistbandsI daresay that if

Canada came out of the Dark Ages with respect to the sex trade, horrid incidents such as the

Picton business would never have happened.)

1-10-133 (NEW) p.18

Re Mental Health (no really, it DID follow the previous resolution)

-To continue to support the development of a national strategy to identify, treat and support

those who are mentally ill, inside and outside of our correctional facilities. To protect them. To

protect Society.

My interpretation: means what, exactly? I wish I knew


5/21


Re Transportation Principles:

-modify transportation so that Canadians economically benefit

My interpretation: >ya-a-a-w-w-n-n
