It looks possible, even likely, that no political party will win a
majority on October 19, leaving two possibilities: a minority or
coalition government.
A cooperative government formed in the absence of a majority, may
offer Canadians many advantages over the false majority it replaces.
Increased representation of Canadian interests in government can
yield policies that benefit Canadians broadly. Historically, minority
governments cooperating across party lines have given Canadians our
national health care program, bilingualism and our pension plan. This paper
aims to combat myths around Canada’s democracy and suggest minority and
coalition governments as legitimate and desirable alternatives.
In recent days, since the tragic
targeting of an Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
hospital in #Kunduz, there’s been much talk of international
humanitarian law. This video explains the rules of war in a nutshell.
Go Jackie!! What beautiful art and powerful message to share!! Jackie Traverse spreads her message of love through art and butterflies and more. Really Beautiful!!

Meeting of the minds women council 7 being a sacred number ,all women are sacred-Artist Jackie Traverse
Amazing how this scene plays out perfectly if you imagine...
Canada is played by the wild, fiery, confident and loving soulNicole Kidman who is unfortunately possessed by Stephen Harper aka Jimmy.
Democracy is played by quiet down to earth, eco-mom Sandra Bullock who fights to rescue Canada and exorcise Stephen Harper from her.
With the help of Powerful Courageously Committed Women TOGETHER they vanquish the demon from Canada.
They do it through LOVE!!
The scene I wanted to share was where they say "Let's clean house!!" BUT it's not online, sadly. You'll have to watch to movie and see for yourself!!
I am not the best at the descriptions. Perhaps some of you might want to redo the above with better descriptions.
Ladies, Let's Vote out Harper and
Vote in Democracy! Social, Climate, Migrant, Gender Justice!
"In this report [by the United Nations Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development], we are arguing that complacency and failure to address cyberviolence could
significantly impede the uptake of broadband services by girls and
women worldwide. the net is an amazing resource for female empowerment
and we need to ensure that as many girls and women as possible benefit
from the amazing possibilities it offers."
- Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Chief-Strategic Planning at the ITU
Once you read this I hope your ready to CHANGE EVERYTHING!!
Ladies, maybe he just isn't that into you. 17 ways Harper and the Conservatives have hurt and ignored women.
In 2015, Canada is barely recognizable. Our environmental
policies are an embarrassment, our economy is in the toilet and we are
starting to look like our weird cousins down south. And women
are further behind than they were a decade ago. We crunched the numbers
and the Conservatives did a smash up job in putting on the brakes and
reversing hard over the advancement of Canadian women.
When Conservatives asked about important issues for women today, they took very specific notes and then shredded them along with the Long Gun Registry.
So we would like to congratulate all of the women who survived domestic
violence during the past 9 years, you did it with less resources than
some of the women before you!
The conservative government just can’t come out and say how much they
hate women, that would be weird. But they can, and they have, taken
everything they could away from us!
Ladies, maybe he just isn't that into you. 17 ways Harper and the Conservatives have hurt and ignored women.
Harper just can’t really be bothered
to address gender inequality. “According to a report issued by the
Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives last fall, Canada lacks the
political will to achieve equality between men and women.”
Harper would rather not talk about women. Plans
for a women's-issues debate in the current federal election campaign
collapsed after the Prime Minister declined to participate and NDP
Leader Tom Mulcair later chose not to participate without Harper's
attendance.
Elizabeth May has a stunning message for you. The Great Canadian Debate has been CANCELLED. YEP! As Elizabeth says Canadians are waiting for what can be liken to the "Hockey Night of Canada- Debate" but sadly it's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION!! Speak UP! Call you MP! Tweet, Blog, Facebook, Tell all the leaders of each party to show up.
Be part of the democracy that Canada stands for (not Harper's version)
Today at 14:00 as I sat carving, inside my soul I heard a cry, nothing
like I heard before, do the baby salmon cry, does mother earth cry, are
my ancestors crying? WHY? WHY? WHY DO
THEY DESTROY OUR FOOD BOXES, all my younger life, my father taught me
about how these salmon made our nation strong, to survive over 13,000
years.
Even though we do not want the billions and have said NO, they
are there with their laws and paid enforcement. Now there are 2 drilling
rigs there, people just turn their heads the other way, pretending it
will go away.
My father Edward would never let this happen, him + his
generation fought for so many rights, FOR WHAT? I have never cried so
hard, thinking of the times, when he told me that just one set + the
quota for salmon was full for the day. he told me about the areas and
what was needed to protect the young salmon so they could be able to
make the great journey away and back again, to start the next cycle.
If
this does not stop (drilling) there will be no more cycles of salmon,
the food box will be broken + empty. Please I ask you with my Tsimshian
heart, to help, not for me, no for any humans, but for all the sea life
and animals which also depend on Flora banks. Please copy paste + share. Edward Ed E Bryant.
The Skeena River estuary is a unique system in that it does not have a
single distinct intertidal delta typical of most estuary systems.
Instead, deposited sediments form a region of extensive mudflats and
shallow, intertidal passages around DeHorsey Island, through Inverness
Passage, and between Kitson Island and Lelu Island.
These mudflats and intertidal areas have been identified by the North
Coast Wetlands Program as important migratory/wintering waterfowl
habitat. Several rare species, including the red-listed western grebe
and the blue-listed trumpeter swan, brant, oldsquaw and great blue heron
have all been recorded in the wetlands. A Department of Fisheries and
Oceans fisheries habitat study identified Inverness Passage, Flora Bank,
and DeHorsey Passage, in that order, as critical habitats for Skeena
River juvenile salmon, as well as important eulachon habitat. Read more
The terminal and its pipeline has been viewed as a leading project in
the Christy Clark-led Liberal government’s efforts to start a new
natural gas export industry to Asia.
The $36-billion project — by Malaysian state-controlled Petronas —
has been approved by the province but is mired in a federal review that
stalled because of concerns over the project’s effects on Flora Bank.
Earlier this year, the Lax Kw’alaams rejected a $1.15-billion
benefits package from the company and B.C. government over similar
concerns.
http://skeenawatershed.com/news/lng_whats_at_stake Some facts from biologists:
In the early 1970s, two proposals were advanced for the development of
major port facilities in Prince Rupert, one of which would have
substantially impacted Flora Bank.
In their 1973 technical report, A Biological Assessment of Fish Utilization of the Skeena River Estuary with Special Reference to Port Development
biologists RJ Higgins and WJ Schouwenburg concluded that "the shallow
estuarine areas between Porpoise Channel and the mouth of the Skeena
River are of high biological significance as a fish (especially juvenile
salmon) rearing habitat.
Inverness Passage, Flora Bank [one of the most
significant eelgrass beds in the province] and De Horsey Bank, in that
order, are habitats of critical importance for the rearing of juvenile
salmon. The construction of a superport at the Kitson Island - Flora
Bank site would destroy much of this critical salmon habitat."
Forty years later, the proposed site of the Pacific NorthWest LNG
Project occupies almost the same marine and terrestrial area that was
deemed vital to fisheries in 1973. The main adjustment has been the
relocation of the jetty terminal to the north edge of Flora Bank, rather
than cutting across the centre of it. However, the proximity of the
proposed industrial operations to this habitat would irrevocably alter
site hydrology, chemistry and ecology - likely with disastrous results.
You know a few months back I watched a documentary about Peter Seger
and I was so moved by his activism and his beautiful spirit. I
mentioned something in Raffi's fb page about would be lovely to have a
song to unite us. http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.ca/2015/09/children-whats-that-sound.html

it! If you love going for walks, paddle boarding, making love in a grassy
field, going for long hikes, surfing, chilling with friends singing
around a campfire, snowboarding, love eating healthy, sharing good times
in nature please SPEAK NOW because LATER WILL BE TOO LATE!
How do you speak out? You vote!
Canada
is at a crossroads. Harper has planned this long election campaign, to
tire you out and piss you off so that you won't make the effort to vote.
He is counting on you NOT PARTICIPATING!!

https://www.facebook.com/klabonakeepers
Klabona Keepers is an organization of Tahltan elders and families who
occupy and use traditional lands near Iskut, British Columbia known as
Tl’abāne, the Sacred Headwaters of the Stikine, Nass and Skeena Rivers.
VICTORIA – Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett today announced an
agreement to acquire 61 coal licenses in the Klappan so that discussions
on a shared vision for responsible management of the area can move
forward.
"Fortune Minerals and POSCO Canada had held these assets since 2002
with the intent to further develop a mine but their development schedule
was moving more quickly than discussions with the Tahltan Nation,
preventing progress from being made on a shared vision for the entire
area.
“Developing a shared vision for responsible management of
the Klappan is critically important to the Tahltan Nation, the Province
and to industry,” said Bennett. “This acquisition provides certainty
and solves a timing problem that was preventing progress on these
discussions.” http://www2.news.gov.bc.ca/news_releases_2013-2017/2015MEM0011-000617.htm
“The Spirit Bear is very special to us,” says filmmaker Jeff Turner.
“We made our first documentary for the BBC about the Spirit Bear 25
years ago. We spent two years living on a remote coastal island with
our toddler daughter Chelsea when we were just starting out in our
career - it was one of the most amazing experiences we ever had with
wild animals. We really wanted to go back to that part of the coast
again and try to reconnect with these special animals that hold
incredibly special memories for us, and we really wanted to do it with
our now grown children – our work has truly become a family affair.” (read more here http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/episodes/spirit-bear-family)
