Talking to my troops on the range this weekend I realized how little people actually know about our political process or even who is running for office. Some people believed they would be directly voting for Prime Minister Harper ("Not if you don't lie in Calgary South...") while others were unclear about what political parties stand for.

While the election is being decided now as I write, there could be an election in two years or four (depending on extranious factors like coalitions), as a public service I am passing on this website for some basic information. You have a few years to study, use it wisely:

PARTY PROGRAMS

** New Program:

12) TURN RADIOACTIVITY DETECTORS BACK ON
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hc-ps/ed-ud/respond/nuclea/_data/nrcan-rncan-eng.php 
Health Canada has turned off their fallout detectors. The page used to say:
"Please note that as of March 25, 2011, the frequency of data collection
by NRCan using the mobile surveys has been decreased due to the low levels
of radiation being detected."
"Turn off your smoke detectors due to the low level of fires detected?"
Sounds like the detectors were blown and the stupid lie is lawying to stop a panic.

1) ABOLITION OF INTEREST RATES

The Abolitionist Party favors the abolition of interest rates, the
chains of financial slavery, by the national and international use of
the world-famous interest-free Local EMPLOYMENT Trading System,
"LET$" by the United Nations as a UNILETS agency. This public
domain barter banking software would replace the interest-bearing
programs currently being used on the computers of all orthodox banks.

2) $1000 MONTHLY DIVIDEND PROGRAM:

PROBLEM: Money plates have been given to the banks.
SOLUTION: Money plates must be taken back from the banks.
BENEFIT: Interest can be diverted to a monthly $1000 dividend.

The federal Government has given our money plates to the banks and
now taxes all of us over $1000 per person per month to pay the private
plate-holders. That is approximately $320 thousand million dollars a
year in our name. The Abolitionist Party would get back your $1000 a
month by taking away the plates from the banks, having the Treasury
operate them under the LETS program, and dividing up the interest
saved to give each citizen a monthly $1000 dividend over and above
any other income just as if you owned one non-transferable share in
the Corporation of Canada. A family of 5 would receive $5,000 a month;
$60,000 a year. Only rich people used to receive dividends but with
government use of the LETS program and the plates, all citizens would
benefit.

3) INTEREST-FREE LOAN PROGRAM:

The Canadian Treasury would also make interest-free loans of Treasury
money for the purchase of homes and "big ticket items". The items
themselves would be collateral for the loans. Why pay interest on a
house when there is no risk at all of the house is properly insured?
It can't run away. All Canadians would borrow Treasury money to
purchase big-ticket items with only the requirement that they pay back
the principal as fast as the asset depreciates. A $150,000 house
estimated to last 50 years would cost $,3000 a year or $250 per month,
plus upkeep. With the asset itself as the only necessary collateral
for a loan and no interest on the loan, affordable housing would be
available for everyone.

It would also permit a reverse mortgage as offered by various
financial institutions but without any interest. Our LET$program
allows the aged to stay in the home that they love instead of being
shipped off to the state home and losing their dignity. We allow the
home-owner to trade their equity for services that they can no longer
perform themselves. This process also allows for services such as snow
removal, lawn care, handyman, companions, health and nursing needs.
When the aged can no longer stay in their homes, we balance accounts
and find more suitable care.

4) NO-FAULT SELF-INSURANCE PROGRAM:

The Abolitionist Party SELF-INSURANCE PROGRAM is the same
software as the DIVIDEND PROGRAM. Instead of dividing up the
interest diverted from the banks, it would divide up losses due to
accidents just like the old "barn-raising" custom where neighbours
helped rebuild the barn of a fire victim. Once members are financially
connected on a LETS database, self-insurance would be immediately
possible. Starting small, it would be trivial for members to register the
value of the "deductible" portion of their automobile insurance and
share the pro-rated burden of any individual victim. With a large
enough database of members, it would be possible to self-insure the
"collision" portion.
With a very large database, it would even be possible to self-insure
housing! If there was a $200,000 fire with 10 million people on the
LETS database, we would key in the value of the fire with the name of
the victim and let the computer collect 2 cents each and deposit it
into the victim's account. Today, we pay premiums in case we burn.
This program would let us pay as we burn, not up front. If there were
no fires, the program would not be used and there would be no
premiums.

5) FREE TREASURY CHECKING ACCOUNT AND ID:

Since everyone would have a Treasury account to receive the monthly
dividend, the Abolitionist Party would credit government checks
directly to that account. This would leave more money in the hands of
the people while effectively putting the "discount-cheque-cashing"
merchants out of business.

6) ABOLITION OF INCOME TAX & G.S.T.:

For government to recuperate monies spent with minimum interference
in the free enterprise system, income tax and G.S.T. would be abolished
and replace by a tax on assets where the person with the most pays the
most.

7) ABOLITION OF MEDIA DISCRIMINATION:

The courts of Canada have interpreted the electoral legislation to
permit the media to offer preferential treatment to candidates of
their choice in the division of gratis broadcast time. All candidates
and parties should be treated "THE SAME." The Abolitionist Party
would abolish media control of access to communications and
enshrine the right of all candidates and parties to identical access
to the media including the dead time on Parliamentary channel off-hours.

8) ABOLITION OF THE SENATE:

Ministers of Parliament, elected by the people of Canada, with the
House of Commons procedures can resort to the referendum
formula and allow the people to decide.

9)  DECOMMISSION NUCLEAR ENERGY

The other parties have no money and so just keep piling up the
radioactive nuclear waste they don't know how to get rid of. The
Abolitionist Party will make interest-free funds available for the
development of solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy,
bio-mass energy, cold fusion, and any other clean energy source.

10) ABOLITION OF HEMP PROHIBITION:

With lots of radioactive fallout on the way and no way to stop it
getting into our bodies where it burns out the kill switch in cells to
allow uncontrolled growth of tumors, the cheapest way to kill
cancer is to ingest cannabis which they've known kills cancer for
the past 40 years. Vote for one of the prohibitionist parties and
you deserve to die.

The most important bio-mass source is hemp. Hemp plants grow
into 6 to 20 foot mini-trees in only four months thereby producing
more bio-mass and converting more carbon-dioxide into oxygen
than any other known plant. It produces four times more material
than trees and burning plants liberates no sulphur into the air. Hemp
was the earth's largest agricultural crop needing no chemical
fertilizers or insecticides.

Before the hemp mini-tree was prohibited under the alien name
"marihuana" because smoking the leaves caused mild sedation, hemp
was used world-wide to produce most of man kind's fuel, fibre, fabric,
lighting oil, paper, paints, varnishes, fertilizers, medicines as well
as being a primary source of protein for humans and animals alike. All
our fossil-based plastic products could be produced out of clean agri-
chemicals from hemp rather than dirty petro-chemical coal and oil.
Though best known for its medicinal effects on asthma and glaucoma,
hemp extracts were also used for nausea, tumors, epilepsy, infection,
stress, migraine headaches, depression and many other ailments.

Hemp is the super vegetable source needed to satisfy all mankind's
heeds and save the planet. Considering the destructive effects of
legally-sanctioned alcohol and that there has never been a recorded
death due to hemp tipsiness, it seems the non-lethal danger from hemp
smoking is insignificant compared to the lethal danger to our planet
of not cultivating our greatest vegetable bio-mass source. The
Abolitionist Party favors the immediate abolition of prohibition laws
against hemp vegetation growth and the funding of the conversion
from any dirty energy sources.

11) REFERENDA:

Non-technical issues would be settled by yearly citizen-initiated
referenda. After an end to poverty, questions like abortion, capital
punishment, gun control, would take on different dimensions.

These are the eleven programs that any Abolitionist Party would deliver
with the financial software revolution. All that is needed are good
programs running government databases. And John "The Banking
Systems Engineer" Turmel's Seal of  Approval on the design.
 
Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada
North America's first environmental and animal protection political party

About AAEVPC

History:

The Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada (AAEVPC) was founded in 2005 by people associated with two existing organizations: Animal Alliance of Canada and Environment Voters as a way to be involved directly in the political system and make governments adopt policies that protect the environment and animals.

Here is a chronological history of how the two organizations were born as well as why and when they came together:

1990: Founding meeting of Animal Alliance of Canada (AAC). Animal Alliance is a federally incorporated non-profit animal rights and environmental protection organization. AAC is committed to the protection of all animals and the environment through legislation, education and electoral politics.

1991 to 2006: Some of AAC's significant victories:

Puppy Mills: A ban on the import of sick, injured and genetically compromised puppies from the United States, resulting in a 73% decline in the number of puppies coming into Canada.

Pound Seizure and Research: AAC won a ban on the sale of lost pets for experimentation from most municipalities in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Newfoundland and Manitoba.

Cows- rBGH: AAC was part of a coalition of organizations responsible for convincing the federal government to ban the use of rBGH, bovine growth hormone in dairy cows.

Trade in Bear Galls: AAC was instrumental in shutting down the trade in bear parts in Canada.

Wolf Management: After several years of lobbying by AAC and other organizations, the BC Minister of Environment announced a moratorium on the use of Compound 1080 (a pesticide), which has remained in place since. AAC also worked with other environmental organizations to stop the Yukon wolf kill.

Canada Goose Management: For over a decade, AAC has been instrumental in stopping any Canada goose cull in Canada. We’ve developed a goose habitat modification manual which is used by municipalities across Canada.

Downer Animals: AAC was instrumental in getting the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to pass legislation to ban the transport of all downer food animals nationally.

Hunting – bears: AAC was part of a campaign which won a ban on the spring bear hunt in Ontario - a jurisdiction with the largest bear hunt in North America. AAC was also instrumental in winning a ban on the possession and sale of bear galls in Quebec.

Frogs (provincial – regulatory): Through work with Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources officials, AAC was successful in securing a ban on the collection and sale of most species of native frogs for commercial fishing bait.

1998: In 1998, AAC produced a document titled "A Ten Year Retrospective". The document examined AAC's successes and failures in protecting animals. The document concluded that despite almost a decade of work where AAC had significant victories for animals, the state of the environment was deteriorating and there was little protection for most animals.

1999: Environment Voters: In 1999, AAC formed Environment Voters (EV), the political and electoral arm of AAC. EV was involved as a "third party" in elections at the federal, provincial and municipal level across Canada. The intent of EV was to hold politicians accountable during elections for their animal protection and environmental records.

2000 to 2004: In early 2000, the federal government passed legislation severely limiting the role of third parties in electoral politics. EV participated in a number of challenges to the law. In a 2005 Supreme Court ruling, the government's law was finally upheld essentially eliminating any effective third party influence.

2005 to 2006: Testing the waters: AAC decided to test the waters to see if it was feasible to form the first animal rights political party in North America. Thanks to an overwhelming response from our supporters, AAC received notice from Elections Canada that we had been accepted as a political party and were pending registration upon full completion of the requirements. On December 10, 2005, the Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada received official party status.
Why a Political Party?

The fact is that almost every animal and environmental problem we’re facing today can be solved by elected officials.

Politicians have the power to change existing legislation and pass new laws to determine what goes into our air and water, what happens to our forests and wetlands, and how both wild and domesticated animals are treated.

So why don’t they do it? Why does Canada still have one of the worst environmental and animal protection records in the developed world?

For politicians working in a democracy, re-election often becomes the biggest concern when deciding public policy; it can overwhelm all other considerations. For this reason, animal and environment issues have little, if any, political relevance because a good or bad animal and environmental protection record has almost no impact on whether or not a politician or party gets re-elected.

Those who founded and are building the Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada (AAEVPC) were searching for a way to make the environment and animal issues relevant to politicians. Not by tugging at their heart strings, but by offering a political benefit to those who worked to protect the environment and a extracting a political price from those who did not.

The problem was that legislation in Canada around election campaigns is designed to restrict third party involvement as much as possible. These laws make it incredibly difficult for groups who care about the environment and animals to spend sufficient money on brochures and advertising to have their voices heard during election time.

However, in 2005 the requirements needed to become a registered political party in Canada were relaxed. No longer would a party have to run 50 candidates to qualify for registration, but rather only one.

Immediately, two groups - Animal Alliance of Canada (AAC) and Environment Voters (EV) - saw their chance and came together to form the Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada – a registered political party in Canada. With registration came the right to fully participate in the electoral process, promote sound environmental and animal protection policies during election campaigns, and have the kind of political impact that had never before been available to the environmental or animal protection movement. In addition, the amended laws allowed political parties the freedom to work between elections on issues of concern to the party and its members. AAC and EV were active across Canada fighting to protect animals and the environment both during and in between elections.


 
The Atlantica Party

WHO ARE WE?
We are a group of unaffiliated citizens concerned about Nova Scotians' future. We founded The Atlantica Party in 2006 to propose new and exciting ideas for Nova Scotians, many ideas you will not hear about from the other parties. The Atlantica Party is completely independent, made up of unaffiliated private citizens. We are NOT involved in the Atlantica Free Trade Zone. We are not affiliated with nor receive funding from any corporations, special interest groups, other political parties, or any level of government. And never will.

DEMOCRACY
    Click here to see the Atlantica Party Democracy Manifesto.

PROSPERITY
    1. A basket of policies that will give Nova Scotia long term growth rates higher than other regions in North America.
    2. Set a hard target to get Nova Scotia off equalization payments making Nova Scotia a 'have' province.
    3. Respecting the diversity of Atlantic Canadians while recognizing our great strength through co-operation both economically and politically.
    4. Steady, gradual reduction in government spending and taxation while maintaining a firm commitment to balanced budgets and debt reduction.

FREEDOM
    1. Government must ensure high-quality infrastructure, health care, and education for citizens.
    2. A social safety net that focuses on those who truly require it, one that does not promote unnecessary dependency.
    3. Laws must respect individual freedom while holding the individual responsible for his or her behavior.
    4. The constant improvement of Nova Scotia's economic, environmental, cultural and social conditions within a strong and united Canada.
    5. A political system that encourages and protects individual liberty and freedom.

You can see our thinking on many issues by viewing discussions on realDebate and in the leader's blog. Also our old Policy Book from early 2009 is available upon request.
