Voting in Canada: a short history - For You to Consider

Voting in Canada: a short history - For You to Consider

Canada has been a Representative Democracy since Confederation in 1867.  Who was been allowed to participate in that democracy has continually evolved since that time.

At the time of Confederation, eligibility to vote was restricted on a number of issues, as listed below, but all voters had to be male, and own property of a certain value.

From the start it was controlled by the Elite - have things changed since then - Not really

Some non-property owners were also permitted to vote, depending on the amount of rent they paid monthly or annually, but the amounts were high enough that they excluded many. The property-based qualifications for voting were gradually removed beginning around 1900, but was not completely removed until 1948.

• Canada’s 152th – but not as the date we became an independent country

The real date lies somewhere between 1919 (the year Canada joined the Criminal League of Nations) and 1931, when Canada ceased to be under the rule of the British Empire.

“We usually associate nations as things that are sovereign and independent. From that standpoint, Canada was not sovereign and independent in 1867, but it is probably one of the most critical events in its eventual emergence as a nation state in a contemporary understanding of those things,”Below is more examples of of disinformation a smuch of History books across Canada

For over 50 years after Confederation, women in Canada were not permitted to vote. That changed for federal elections (and provincially in Nova Scotia) in 1918. The provincial laws giving women the right to vote in provincial elections were also generally introduced around this time, including Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan in 1916 , BC and Ontario in 1917, and Nova Scotia in 1918.  Quebec was last to address the issue in 1940.

The Provinces Below Never Federated into Canada - It was done behind closed doors - and Never Ratified by the people - So it is de-facto 

 Western Canada, also referred to as the Western provinces and more commonly known as the West, is a region of Canada that includes the four provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba andSaskatchewan

Certain racial or ethnic groups were also excluded from voting in Canada based on being disqualified provincially. For example, Japanese Canadians were denied the right to vote in a federal election until 1948. These exclusions extended to a variety of racial and ethnic groups, all with various limitations on the right to vote based on their province of residence, until the new federal laws in 1948 finally prohibited citizens from being denied their right to vote on the basis of their race. 

Despite this advancement, certain racialized communities faced continuing exclusion. Similar to the 1948 laws preventing the denial of voting rights due to race, in 1955 laws were introduced ending the exclusion of voters on the basis of their religion.

It was not until 1960 that Canada began to address the particularly difficult and complex issue of granting Originals (Natives persons the right to vote. Although Originals (First Nations) persons were permitted to vote from the time of Confederation (within the other limits of the time – Aboriginal women would not have been able to vote until 1918), to act upon the right to vote they would have had to give up their status as Aboriginal persons, and rights they had because of that status.

After 1960, this sacrifice was no longer required for Originals (Natives) persons to vote. Much like the acceptance of women’s right to vote, the right for Aboriginal people to vote provincially happened around this time for most provinces. Nova Scotia was unique in having never excluded status Aboriginal men (and women after 1918) from voting; however, due to treaties and societal arrangements, few Aboriginal people were recognized as owners of property – thus excluding many until the property ownership requirement was removed.

Various changes have been made over the past number of decades to try to make it easier for people to vote.  For example:

• voting hours were extended to give more time for working people to get to a polling station
• special polling stations were set up at places such as hospitals and long-term care facilities to encourage seniors to vote
• more centralized, accessible polling stations were established to make it easier for persons with physical disabilities or limitations to vote. These accessibility changes became law in 1992.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada are more disturbing to most but I will get into this further into the article became law in 1982. Section Three of the Charter guarantees all adult (18 or over) Canadian citizens the right to vote federally or provincially. This Charter protection reflected the collection of changes that had been made over the previous century, and further expanded on those changes by including all citizens.

However, Section Three of the Charter was limited in some particular ways which have since been addressed.

Between 1988 and 1993 changes were made to address the exclusion of persons with a mental disability from voting. In 1993, persons with mental disability could no longer be disqualified from voting on that basis.

Prisoners did not initially have their right to vote protected by Section Three of the Charter. In 1993 the restriction on voting was removed for prisoners serving a sentence of less than two years. In 2002, the Supreme Court of Canada, in a decision called Sauvé v. Chief Electoral Officer, ruled that no prisoner could be disqualified from voting, no matter the length of their sentence.

Finally, with the introduction of the Canada Elections Act in 2000, steps were taken to make it possible for persons of no fixed address to be eligible to vote without the traditional documentation required for proof of address. This law continues to face some changes and controversy around exactly what can be used as documentation or as an alternative to prove residence in a riding.  However, the basic concept remains that having no fixed address is no longer grounds to be disqualified from voting. Some of the recent changes made, particularly those in the Fair Elections Act, have been criticised by some, such as the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA), Council of Canadians, and Canadian Federation of Students, claiming that the changes infringe upon the Charter protected right to vote.

Among the changes that have been seen as especially troubling are:

• No longer being able to rely on an Elections Canada voter ID card as identification
• The tightening of rules around vouching for a person without proof of address
• Limiting the number of voters that one individual can vouch for

Additionally, a recent Ontario Court of Appeal decision (Frank v. Attorney General of Canada,2015) has impacted the rights of Canadian citizens who live outside of the country. This case has confirmed that Canadian citizens who have lived outside of the country for 5 years or more, are no longer permitted to participate in Canadian elections. This builds on other recent changes which changed rules about when the 5 year period began. Prior to 2007, a citizen simply had to return to Canada for any purpose to restart the period. Now, that person must return to live in Canada before their right to vote is regained. This change has effectively removed a Charter right from Canadian citizens who live outside of the country.

Although these changes may seem insignificant to many, the people affected by these changes are generally groups who already experience difficulty in voting. Heavily impacted populations include seniors, persons with no fixed address, students and Aboriginal persons. Although Canada has come a long way in improving access to the right to vote, many still face hurdles in practicing their Charter protected right.

We are in a serious Problem and this MUST be addressed - As We Head Further into Globalization

The documentary film "The Myth is Canada" is educational, ground-breaking, and massively enlightening for The People of Canada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtwdOjqc4CY

Many people around the world are sensing and discovering governments are not what they project. Canada, with its own story, is no different. "The Myth is Canada" will demonstrate the truth of Canada, and importantly, the solution of how Canada can work for us, The People of Canada - legally, lawfully, peacefully - leaving no wiggle room for lies or games!

And now...  let us explore why it is worthy to contribute to the making of this historic and ground-breaking documentary, "The Myth is Canada"

Ever wonder why our elected officials ignore us, I mean really, truly ignore us once elected?

Ever wonder why nothing of what is truly important to you, to The People of Canada, actually gets implemented by our elected officials?

Every wonder why?

The simple reality is that, once elected, there is no legal obligation for an elected politician to:

a) follow through on any promise made to you or the people in your community

b) follow the direct requests of your community, or

c) fulfill on any of their election promises.  

Truly.  This is a FACT.  We have court evidences proving it.

Politicians tell us what we want to hear and then, once elected, do their agenda, often something completely different - and most often, not to our benefit!   All the while spending and wasting our hard earned money, with no accountability!

What to you think about that?     

And it does not stop there!

Do you feel like everything is becoming a money grab?    While the value we derive from paying taxes goes down?    Are you getting tired of all these purported laws mandating licenses for this, licenses for that, charging fees to us for the privilege of reducing our freedoms? 

What about the  provincial / federal governments telling you what to do, how to do it, telling you where to school your children, how to enable healing of your children, even taking your kids away from you if you do not conform with what the state demands and requires you to do (even though there is often ample evidence of better ways...  

Isn't it all getting a bit much?  

You thought you lived in a free country, living by the motto - "Do what you want as long as it does not impinge on the rights, life and liberty of another?"   

Right?   Wrong. 

You thought your representatives were there for you!   After all, they were voted in! 

Right?   Wrong again. 

Guess what?   We / you have all been misled.

The IMPORTANT MESSAGE here is that:

• Canada is not being run for your, for my, or for the People of Canada's best interests.
• It is run for the politicians, for the special interest groups, for the big corporate profits.

We know this is true, don't we?   And are you really happy about this?

It is time.  Time to know the truth on how we got here and most importantly the simple SOLUTION  to have Canada work for  all Canadians!

Contributing to the making of this documentary film "the Myth is Canada" will deliver the truth the history books do not disclose, yet seriously impact our everyday life!  

"The Myth is Canada" will shock you, yet will provide you with a tremendous sense of relief!   And will bring us to the Canada that is for you, me and The People of Canada!    

Contribute to the making of The Myth is Canada and together, let us get this vital knowledge and solution out to ALL The People of Canada!   Thank you!  

ps. your kids will thank you too...  

What is Canada?

This year, 2017, in Canada we are told we are celebrating 150 years of Confederation.  If so, why, in 1982 did Prime Minister Trudeau go to a foreign power and ask them to create and authorize a constitution for Canada?    If we were already a de jure government for 115 years (1867-1982), why would Prime Minister Trudeau deem it necessary?    It is a question worth asking and worth answering!   Maybe he was making us double de jure?

So... What is Canada?.....  It is not a legend, not a sovereign nation, not a nation state.  Actually, we have discovered it is a Myth.   All we have been told, taught, read in official history books are deceptions, manipulations and in many cases, outright fraud.

The evidence presented in this documentary film "The Myth is Canada" has been thoroughly researched and the conclusions are based from within those researched documents.  

Evidence!  Not hearsay.  Evidence.

Yes, it is controversial.   Yes, it is ground breaking.   Yes, initially, it will create disbelief...

But... when a people have been largely unknowingly subjected to lies for 150 years by a select few, in the know...  finally hearing and gaining perspective on the truth will be monumental.  

We have invested many years ensuring all information researched is correct.

And, now we are ready.

We are ready to release this evidenced information to you, to The People of Canada, in the form of this documentary film, "The Myth is Canada".  

Join us in this epic journey!

This is our CALL to ACTION to you.  

We invite you to Join the Movement, Become the Movement and/or be part of Expanding the Movement for the simple release of the evidenced based truth of Canada.

Have you had enough?  

Enough of...

high taxes, wasted government expenditures, pretend government services, inflation eating up your wages, higher costs of living, mushrooming government debt encumbering our future, mushrooming private debt just to live - restricting the people's ability to be free and live with peace of mind,,,   

Are you sensing...  "enough is enough"?

People coming together to peacefully change its political foundation at the core...   (yes, for sure, the Canadian way.... peacefully!)

Not relying on the politicians, who once every 4 years say "whatever" to win the election, who   thereafter, largely do their work in quiet rooms, alone, big money directing the agenda.  

And the people?  uh?   What do they matter?

The result?  Many of The People of Canada now have second and third jobs to keep the lights on and food in the refrigerator. 

Is that the Canada you imagined for you?   For your family?

What will it take for The People of Canada, one by one, to take up the pen (yes, literally the pen) and undertake the steps to seat a legal, lawful, accountable and small government?

"The Myth is Canada" Production Timeline

Risk & Challenges

The major challenge with this documentary has been the 12.5 years of research and coming to understand the various pieces of the puzzle in a comprehensive manner.  Often it was a combination of "something not seeming right" that kept us digging to satisfy that nudge - and otherwise, investigating various rabbit holes that delivered additional critical pieces of information.    Yet, over the past 12.5 years, we did complete the research and now, we are ready.  Ready to reveal the truth of Canada in the format of a documentary film.    

We see the major risk with this documentary is not getting it funded so that this very important knowledge can get out to you, to ALL The People of Canada. 

Your contribution is critical to the making of "The Myth is Canada".

The more Canadians learn about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan to force a carbon tax on every corner of the country, the less they like it.

What a gamble to run for re-election on a platform of forcing a new tax on provinces that don’t want it.

We’ll Have A Better Idea Soon

By Jack On December 28, 2018 2 Comments

The more Canadians learn about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan to force a carbon tax on every corner of the country, the less they like it.

It’s a phenomenon that echoes what happened in Australia in 2014, when its government repealed a much-despised carbon tax after it had been in place for just two years.

Several Canadian provinces already have carbon taxes that meet Trudeau’s approval while a number of others don’t. Come Jan. 1, the feds will force their version of the tax on the provinces that won’t bend to their will.

This isn’t the end of Canada’s carbon tax fight though. Now the stakes are even greater.

Next year, the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal will hear a reference question case that attempts to get to the bottom of whether the feds even have the right to force such a tax on the provinces.

The government of Saskatchewan — along with a little help from Doug Ford’s Ontario PC government and Jason Kenney’s United Conservative Party in Alberta — says the feds should butt out of it. It contends it’s a jurisdictional matter and that levelling taxes on emissions is the business of the provinces.

Experts are divided on how it will unfold. Don’t be surprised if we see it wind itself all the way up to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Justin Long Ive been working on Canadians Peoples Demands and Referendum

Justin Long

 

Ive been working on  Canadians Peoples Demands and Referendum suggestions (any and all input or constructive criticism is welcome) it's a work in progress

1. We demand charges and a trial for high treason pressed against Justin Trudeau and any member of parliament that signed the UN migration pact ( why would we allow them to stay to be voted out in the future and collect a hefty pension afterwards, after this blatant attempt to ruin our country

 
- this will set an example to globalism enthusiasts who are hell bent on destroying individual countries sovereignty 
- this will also set an example to any future member of parliament that we can and will remove you along with your pension and livelihood 

- this will also send hope through all of the European countries that are joining this movement by the day (11 so far last time I checked) and also hope to the countries hesitant to join the movement (we are all human and none of us will be completely free until we are all free)

2) we demand a complete public and transparent referendum initiated by the citizens (RIC) (not just now but whenever we see fit for in the future)

- this will give the people the power to have a complete assessment of any problems the Canadian people need fixed ( let's face it there are a lot to be dealt with) and some might get overlooked 
- I believe this will also give us the opportunity to go back and fix more minor issues in the future if they are missed

Key referendum issues

1) we need to go back to our common law principles (this one is a bit complicated and would take it's own thesis)(this is another point of the referendum (RIC) to go back and fix these problems that may be overlooked
Because of the wide scope of laws that either adhere to common law or dont , it is my personal belief that approximately 50-70% of victemless crimes do not necessarily need to be be considered as a crime and are only there to generate revenue for this corrupt government and the police force who get a kickback for all the money they generate (extort) from the people. A perfect example of this would be seat belt laws and how the police will claim it's for your safety but at the same time they will litterly shoot you if you try to argue their ticket (extortion attempt)
- this will also greatly reduce police violence because there will be drastically less laws to risk being violent over in the 1st place
- this will lighten the strain and cost of our prison systems also

2) Complete overhaul and audit of the Canadian Banking system (end the fed) (abolishment of income taxes) referendum (RIC), Including charges pressed against the top bankers found guilty of fraud and malfeasance (Iceland did it so can we). This may be the most important one that nobody seems to acknowledge and would shake the power structure to its core 

- this would take a whole theses as well which we can get into at a later time but the short and sweet of it is our current banking system (fractional reserve banking) is based on fraud ( reference the book titled the creature from Jekyll island for further insight if need be)

- It is unconstitutional (and does not adhere to common law (due to fraud)
-It does not adhere to Christian values for that matter due to the fact that before the king James bible came out the definition of usury (A sin) was ANY interest on money lent) after the king James bible was printed over history it was distorted to mean excessive Interest on money lent (see the scam) this does not mean that I believe anyone should be forced to have Christian values but I think most logical peaceful people will agree with the basic principles of it, love thy neighbor ,thou shall not kill or steal etc . ( fraud is synonymous with theft) These are moral values just as much as religious values.

- the numbers for Canada are in excess of 160,000,000$ a day or 58,400,000,0000$ annually to pay for the interest these private bankers demand for the so called benefit of printing our money when it's written in are own constitution that Canadas money is to be issued by the Bank of Canada without interest and backed by our nations resources
- this is called inflation and it causes the strength of our currency to weaken, inflation is essentially a hidden tax (if u factor that into the high taxes we are already aware of then you will find that we are actually expotionally more taxed then we ever even realized)

- the elite bankers that benefit from this system of fraud use the money they steal from us and use it to lobby government officials to pass legislation that adheres to their own nefarious agendas and that are not in the people's best interests ( this is why politicians from either party are always eager to go to war with whomever because it greatly increases the bankers profits that pay them their kickbacks) (look at Dick Cheney being vice president while also having deep connections with the company Haliburton making billions of tax payer funded dollars of a war that was based on lies (weapons of mass destruction)

* side note* Almost every world leader who has tried to defy this fraud and go back to an alternate currency backed by tangible resources has been assassinated (Lincoln, JFK, Gaddafi) but if an entire nation of people did it in unity they wouldn't be able to kill us all, plus think of the beacon of hope Canada would be to the rest of the world ( people globally who have unrestricted internet would see us as patriotic heroes once more)

4) Removal of Canada from the UN completely not just over turning the migration pact but complete removal
- the United nations is a foreign corporation meaning it has no right or authority to any of Canada's sovereignty (it belongs to the people and the people only)
- it is a corrupt institution masquerading as a non profit charity
- it has a horrible track record for human rights violations or protecting the perpetrators of these human rights violations

3) complete removal of Canada from the Monarchy and the queens influence and demand to relinquish all crown lands to the people
- she had already relinquished control of Canada already but the people are not informed of this
- she has used her powers to strike down democratic laws in the past
- it is a useless tradition that costs our country billions of dollars
- has influenced the people to go to war before one example would be when
Canada was considered a European dominion that was forced to go to war by the crown with our neighbors in America because the Americans wanted freedom
- most of her family's wealth is a direct result of drugs (the opium wars with China) and slavery (not the best figure head in my eyes)

4)Declare Canada as a Democratic Republic
- the difference between A Democracy and a democratic Republic is that in a democracy 50% or more of the population can vote to take another group of peoples rights away. With a democratic Republic the people can vote on whatever laws they want as long as it doesn't interfere with any other individuals rights that are enshrined in our constitution.

- America was founded as a democratic Republic and not as a democracy, but the majority of the people have seemed to have forgotten this and most of their children aren't being educated properly about the distinction between the two

5) A referendum (RIC) on our Canadian Constitution
- it's got a lot of good things it but needs updating
- no rights that we have will be lost through this process only expanded upon to better declare the people's freedom and power as the sovereign over the government

6) evaluation of our election system in general we must keep it as democratic as possible but with the technological advances mankind as made, and if we put our heads together we are bound to come up with something better than the current situation we call politics, with its rampant election tampering that seems to happen all to frequently

7) evaluation and refurendum (RIC) of all public services (if need be or the ones of the people's choosing) this will include healthcare, the public school system, the prison system, welfare, all goverment pensions etc

9) Pipeline for Alberta? To be honest I have to do more research about the pros n cons of this but it seems evident that the people of Alberta want this and we need everyone United if we fight for them hopefully they will stay and the fight for us. Also I don't see the logic in by oil from Saudi Arabia when we have our own.

10) restore healthcare and investigate big farm for crimes perpetrated to the people

11) stop all wars (why is this not on everyone's demands ) or more specifically bring our troops home from everywhere increase their pay n set them on defending our borders take care of our veterans

13) set up a Canadian peace keeping and humanitarian fund for people in need with details on when and why the money can be used for what purpose. We will not be part of the UN so this would show the world that it is not needed by creating a moral n proper similar entity ( we keep the good ideas and incorporate them and strip out the bad ones) that doesn't demand u relinquish your nations sovereignty to be heard

14) decriminalization of marijuana (not legalization) it will no longer be a crime 

Release of all inmates in jail for possession or consumption of pot. Decriminalize all dispensaries and help growing/ making hemp products more viable in our new economy
(Hemp alone can save the world in so many ways its amazing) plus it will help make room in prison the the corporate elite (rothschilds etc) convicted of crimes we will surely discover on top of the ones historically documented and bankers and 1/2 of government officials at least the ones that signed the migration pact

15) sustainable living plan (more resource based economy.... everyone willing to be self sufficient will be given land and volunteer help to build earth ship communities on crown land now referred to as our land. Encouragement of native americans to do the same this would help ensure that Canada would never starve because it would be built in smaller self sustaining communities with greenhouses and hydroponic food readily available. I believe this would also prevent some of our transportation issues as well because most people's needs will be met inside their communities and there would be less need to ship less goods around the country.

16) the demand for any information regarding the suppression of free or alternate clean forms of energy to wean the people off of oil use or products by providing cleaner alternatives

17)withdrawal from NAFTA or any other multi national organization such as g20
That does not suit the Canadian people's best interests

18) preservation of any sacred native land and working towards a better relationship with the native Americans I personally believe a large chunk of our humanitarian fund should be used to fix their horrendous living conditions that seems to be overlooked to frequently × (Gordon Downey a true Canadian loved by all would be proud lol)

19) better drug treatment centers n funding for rehabilitation instead of funding for safe injection sights

20) increased pension for all seniors ( they built our beautiful country) and raised us to be the proud people we are we cant fail them we just cant

21)All of Canada's natural resources go back to the people and the profits made from selling any resources will be split evenly between the Canadian population. 
Laws in place banning any privatization of any of Canada's natural resources

22) water declared a human right and to be rigurlously protected by law (no dumping pollution into our water) and higher taxes to big corporations that take advantage of it (Nestle)

23)ban GMOs and investigate Monsanto and any other similar GMO food producers for wrong doing

24) deportation of all isis militants that have been allowed into Canada by our former treasonous PM

25)tax the church or fine them for years of diddling our children and hiding it

European civilisation is at great risk and the process sped up in recent years – Douglas Murray

Interviewed by Echo TV, British author and journalist Douglas Murray warned again about the future of European civilisation. 

“I think that our future is at risk. It is obvious, and this process has been going on for a very long time, and it just sped up in recent years.

“And, I think it has come about more in the absence of mind, in the absence of preparedness, than as a part of a bigger plan. Our civilisation is at great risk,” the author of The Strange Death of Europe said.Douglas says that although a lot of writers disagree with his conclusions about Europe’s future, it’s his task to write the truth.

“My view is that the general public is like me. They are able to see things with their own eyes. They do not need to be told what they should be seeing, because they open their eyes and they can see.

“There are some people who would like to stop that and they would like us to not see things. Nevertheless, I think that the general public and I are able to say honestly what we see,” he says.

According to Douglas, Western Europe made a “colossal mistake” by inviting guest labourers since the 1950s.

“Since the 1950s, Western European countries, from Germany to other places, have been inviting guest laborers in order to rebuild their societies after the Second World War. In my book I show that they did not fully understand this process.

“For example, in her 2010 Potsdam speech, Angela Merkel said that they had thought that the guest laborers would eventually go home.

“Now, I have to say that it is very unlikely that a person who came from a very poor country would return to his or her country of origin after having experienced life in a rich country. As I said, even Angela Merkel admitted that they were wrong to believe that, and Western European societies had to catch up in this regard.

“For example, they had to face that entire families would immigrate and that a chain of migration would start.”

Watch the full interview below, it starts around 10:30 minutes.
